The RAM clear SW is a switch for erasing information related to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 at the time of power shutoff by operating the power switch and turning on the power while pressing the RAM clear switch at power on. is there.

  An example of operation of the probability setting switch 60 and the probability setting change button 61 will be described. First, the probability setting switch 60 inserts a key into the probability setting switch 60 while the power of the pachinko machine 1 is off, and rotates the pachinko machine 1 in this state in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction). By entering it, it becomes possible to change the probability setting. Then, the probability setting change button 61 can be pressed to select any one of the set value 1 to the set value 4. In this case, each time the probability setting change button 61 is pressed, numerical values from 1 to 4 corresponding to the set values 1 to 4 are sequentially displayed on the first special view display device 28A. This makes it possible to select a desired setting value. The setting information may be displayed not only on the first special view display device 28A but also on other symbol display. For example, it may be displayed on the effect symbol display device 21. If displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, confirmation is easy because the display area is large. However, since the display surface of the effect symbol display device 21 is on the front while the probability setting change button 61 is on the back of the gaming machine, the notification by voice is also performed or the probability setting is changed to the effect button 15, jog dial 16, etc. If the function of the button 61 is given, probability setting can be performed while looking at the display surface of the effect symbol display device 21. Moreover, when using the production | presentation symbol display apparatus 21, you may be the structure which displays the mode screen for exclusive use alerting | reporting that it is in the state which can change a probability setting. In addition, a configuration may be provided in which a dedicated setting value display device for displaying setting values is provided.

Then, by rotating the key inserted in the probability setting switch 60 and returning it to the initial position, that is, by performing the operation of confirming the probability setting, the setting value with the probability setting is fixed, and the probability setting is changed. The state that can be done is finished. When the state in which the probability setting can be changed ends, the main control device 40 may transmit a setting command including information such as the setting value for which the probability setting is made to the sub integrated control device 42.
In the case of the configuration to be displayed by the effect symbol display device 21, it is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 to display the probability setting screen when the probability setting state is entered by the operation of the probability setting switch 60, and the probability setting change button The configuration may be such that the signal is transmitted each time the operation 61 is performed. As a result, the sub integrated control apparatus 42 can grasp which set value among the set values 1 to 4 has been set with probability.

  The pachinko machine 1 inserts a key into the probability setting switch 60 and rotates it in a predetermined direction (for example, the right direction), and the power is stored in the RAM by turning on the power in such a state of rotating operation. Information relating to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 at the time of cutoff is erased. The information on the setting value of the probability setting is not erased but is held even if the RAM is cleared. It may be configured to be erased if a dedicated operation is performed. When the RAM is cleared, the information on the setting value may be erased.

  The pachinko machine 1 does not have to be limited to erasing the information stored in the RAM at the timing when the power is turned on with the key inserted in the probability setting switch 60 and being rotated. For example, even in the configuration that erases the information related to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 accumulated in the RAM, etc. at the timing when the operation to finalize the probability setting or the timing when the state where the probability setting can be changed changes. Good. If the probability setting information is not erased by clearing the RAM, it can be erased after the setting operation is completed. If the probability setting information is erased, the probability setting switch 60 is turned to turn on the power. It is preferable to erase at timing.

  When the power is turned on while the probability setting switch 60 is rotated, the probability setting change button 61 can be operated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a state in which the probability setting switch 60 is rotated after the power is turned on, the probability setting change button 61 may be operated.

  Further, although the change of the probability setting is performed by inserting a key into the probability setting switch 60, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the probability setting may be changed by operating a dedicated button.

  Although the pachinko machine 1 operates to rotate the key inserted in the probability setting switch 60 and return it to the initial position, the probability setting is determined, but this is not a limitation, and a dedicated probability The selected probability setting may be determined by pressing the setting confirmation button.

  Further, the main control device 40 operates according to the loaded program, and generates various commands related to the progress of the game based on the above-mentioned detection signal and the like. The main control device 40 outputs various commands to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 via the payout control device 41 and the effect relay terminal board 532. Main controller 40 displays first special view display 28A, second special view display 28B, first special view hold number display 281, and second special view hold number display device via symbol display device relay terminal board 533. 282, and performs display control of the common drawing display device 29, the common drawing reservation number display device 291, and the like.

Furthermore, in the main control device 40, a special winning opening solenoid 510 and a common utility valve solenoid 511 are connected via the game board relay terminal board 531. The main control device 40 operates the special winning opening solenoid 510 to operate the opening and closing plate to open the special winning opening 25 by activating the special electric combination. Further, the main control device 40 operates the normal power utility solenoid 511 to operate the opening member to open the second special view starting port 24 by operating the ordinary electric vehicle.
An output signal from the main control device 40 is also output to the test signal terminal, and a signal for management such as symbol variation or a big hit of a special figure is sent to the hall computer 500 through the external connection terminal board 38.

The main control device 40 and the payout control device 41 can perform two-way communication.
The payout control device 41 detects the glass frame open SW 501, the inner frame open SW 502, and the out-of-ball SW 520 for detecting that the ball tank has become empty via the back wiring relay terminal plate 530 and the payout relay terminal plate 534. A signal is input. Further, the payout control device 41 receives detection signals such as a payout SW 522 for detecting that the gaming ball has been paid out, and a full SW 523 for detecting that the gaming ball storage tray is full. Furthermore, the payout control device 41 operates the payout motor 521 in response to the command sent from the main control device 40 to pay out the gaming ball.

  When the payout control device 41 receives a signal indicating that the lower plate 13 is full by means of the full SW 523 and a signal indicating that the game tank is low or absent by means of the out-of-ball SW 520 is inputted. The payout motor 521 is stopped to stop the payout operation of the winning balls. The ball out SW 520 and the full SW 523 continue to output signals until the state is canceled, and the payout control device 41 drives the payout motor 521 because the signals are not output. Resume.

Further, the payout control device 41 is connected to the CR unit CR and the settlement display device 173 via the CR unit terminal board 535 so as to be capable of bi-directional communication. The balance display device 173 is connected to a ball lending SW 171 for requesting the lending of gaming balls, and a settlement SW 172 for requesting the settlement. Then, when the operation signal of the lending request by the ball lending SW 171 is input to the CR unit CR via the settlement display device 173, the CR unit CR makes a lending request to the payout control device 41, and the payout control device 41 Activate the 521 and pay out the rental ball. The paid-out rental ball is detected by the payout SW 522, and the detection signal is input to the payout control device 41.
On the other hand, when the operation signal of the settlement request by the settlement SW 172 is input to the CR unit CR via the settlement display device 173, the CR unit CR performs settlement in response to the settlement request, and the balance display of the prepaid card in the settlement display device 173 Is done. The balance display of the prepaid card is controlled by the CR unit CR.

Further, the payout control device 41 transmits information on the winning balls, information indicating the open / closed state of the frame (inner frame, front frame), etc. to the hall computer 500 via the external connection terminal plate 38, and In response to this, it sends a firing stop signal.
The pachinko machine 1 is configured to pay out game balls. In recent years, a game machine which collects the fired game balls inside the game machine and shoots again by the launcher, and manages the number of balls held by the player as data using a storage medium such as an IC card Machine or management game machine etc.), and the pachinko machine 1 may have a configuration of an enclosed type game machine.

  The launch control device 44 receives detection signals such as a launch stop SW 524 for stopping launch and a touch SW 525 for detecting that the player is in contact (operation) with the launch handle 14. The firing motor based on the command (reflecting the signal of the touch SW 525 and the game situation) sent from the main control device 40 via the payout control device 41, the rotation signal of the firing handle 14 and the signal of the firing stop SW 524 Control 526 to fire and stop the game ball.

The sub integrated control device 42 is provided with a volume control SW, and an operation signal of the effect button 15 and the jog dial 16 is input.
The sub integrated control device 42 drives the speaker 112 to output sound, and controls lighting and extinguishing of the various LEDs and the various lamps 113. Further, the sub integrated control device 42 controls the effect of displaying a character or the like or the pseudo effect of the special view according to the progress of the game. Then, the sub integrated control device 42 transmits, to the effect symbol control device 43, a command of a display mode of an effect for displaying a character or the like or a pseudo effect symbol of a special view.

  The effect symbol control device 43 constitutes the effect symbol display device 21 together with the LCD panel unit and the attached unit. The effect symbol control device 43 controls the display of the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 21 in accordance with the command sent from the sub integrated control device 42.

  In the pachinko machine 1 configured in this manner, when the gaming ball enters the common drawing operation gate 22, the common drawing starts fluctuating display on the common drawing display device 29, and the pattern of the common drawing stopped after a predetermined time If it is won, the ordinary motorized part is activated. The ordinary electric utility operates to drive the common electric utility solenoid 511, open the opening member, and enter the second special view starting port 24. In the pachinko machine 1, the opening time of the second special view starting opening 24 is normally 0.1 seconds (once), and 2.2 seconds (1 time) in the time reduction state (opening extension) which is advantageous for the player. Times). In addition, the second special view starting opening 24 has a configuration in which the game ball can not enter unless the ordinary electric role is activated (see FIG. 5).

When the game ball enters the first special view starting opening 23, a plurality of types of random numbers relating to the pass / fail determination of the first special view are extracted, and a predetermined number of random numbers are stored as pending storage of the first special view. Then, on the basis of the random number of the reserved storage, the propriety determination is carried out, and in response to this, the first special figure starts fluctuating in the first special view display device 28A and stops after a predetermined time.
Further, when the gaming ball enters the second special view starting opening 24, a plurality of types of random numbers relating to the pass / fail determination of the second special view are extracted, and a predetermined number is stored as pending storage of the second special view. Then, on the basis of the random number of the reserved storage, the propriety determination is performed, and in response to this, the second special figure starts fluctuating display in the second special view display device 28B and stops after a predetermined time.

  In addition, the pass / fail judgment of the first special view and the second special view is given priority over the pass / fail judgment of the second special view regardless of the order of entering the first special view starting port 23 and the second special view starting port 24. carry out. Specifically, when there is a pending storage of the first special figure, after the variation of the second special figure stops and there is no pending storage of the second special figure, Conduct a yes-no decision.

  Since the first special view and the second special view variable display and finalization display are only displayed small at the corner of the game board 2, the first display on the effect symbol display device 21 provided at the center of the game area 20 A pseudo effect display using a pseudo effect pattern corresponding to the special view or the second special view is performed, and the player is notified of the result of the pass / fail determination by the pseudo effect display. For example, in the pseudo effect display, three pseudo effect symbols are varied, and when the three symbols stop at the same symbol, they are configured to be a big hit. As the pseudo effect display, reach effect is performed in which two symbols stop at the same symbol, and the player's expectation is enhanced by whether or not the remaining changing symbols stop at the same symbol.

  Further, the pachinko machine 1 is a production button 15 in a predetermined pseudo presentation (corresponding to a predetermined game presentation described in the claims) of the pseudo presentation accompanying the change of the first special drawing or the second special drawing. The operating means is selected and selected from either the operating means (corresponding to the first operating means described in the claims) or the jog dial 16 (corresponding to the second operating means described in the claims) An indication is given to suggest to operate the Then, when the suggested operation means is operated by the player, the result of the determination of the success or failure of the first special figure or the second special figure during fluctuation is made prior to the final display of the first special figure or the second special figure. A notice effect (which corresponds to a specific effect described in the claims) indicating that there is a possibility that the result of the judgment of the first special figure or the second special figure during the notification or change may win. It is possible configuration.

  Then, the pachinko machine 1 arbitrarily selects any setting value from the plurality of different setting values 1 to 4 from the plurality of different setting values 1 to 4 as the winning probability (winning probability that a big hit occurs) of the first special figure or the second special figure. , Configuration changeable. Therefore, when selecting the operation means causing the advance notice effect, the probability that the effect button 15 or the jog dial 16 is selected is changed according to the set value for which the probability is set.

  The pachinko machine 1 opens the big winning opening 25 in a predetermined opening mode according to the mode in which the first special drawing and the second special drawing are displayed and determined, and to the large winning opening 25 A big hit game is implemented that enables the game ball to enter. In addition, as a big hit game, for example, from the 5R normal big hit game which performs 5 rounds of round games to open the big winning opening 25 in a predetermined opening manner, the 8R positive variation big hit game which performs 8 rounds, and the 10R positive variation big hit game which performs 10 rounds Any one game is selected.

  The pachinko machine 1 is configured as a randomizer. Specifically, the gaming by the pachinko machine 1 is roughly divided into a gaming state in which the large winning opening 25 is closed and a big hit gaming state in which the large winning opening 25 is opened. Furthermore, the gaming state in which the big winning opening 25 is closed is roughly classified into a normal probability state (hereinafter referred to as a normal gaming state) and a state advantageous to the player (high probability of being a big hit compared to the normal gaming state), There is a high probability gaming state (hereinafter also referred to as a probability variation gaming state) which is a jackpot. After the 5R normal big hit game is over, it shifts to the normal probability gaming state, and after the 8R positive variation big hit game or the 10R positive variation big hit game is ended, it shifts to the high probability gaming state. The probability variation gaming state corresponds to the bonus gaming state described in the claims.

  The jackpot symbols of the first special view and the second special view consist of a probability variation symbol and a non probability variation symbol, and the probability variation gaming state is set to be shiftable after the end of the jackpot game with the probability variation symbol. To the probability change gaming state, if it is a big change in the probability change symbol in any of the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state, it shifts to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the big hit game. Similarly, the normal gaming state is set to be shiftable after the end of the big hit game with the non-probable variation symbol. The normal gaming state is shifted after the end of the big hit game if it is a big hit with a non-probable change symbol in any of the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state.

  After the transition from the big hit game to the normal game state, the fluctuation time of the first special figure, the second special figure and the popular figure is shortened by the specified number of times (for example, 100 times), and the opening member of the second special figure starting opening 24 When the opening of the is extended, it becomes a short state. When the fluctuation time of the first special drawing, the second special drawing, and the common drawing (the time from the fluctuation start to the display of the result) is shortened, the number of times the fluctuation display is performed within a fixed time is increased.

  Specifically, in the time saving state, along with shortening of the fluctuation time of the first special drawing and the second special drawing, time reduction of the common drawing displayed on the common drawing display device 29 is also performed. In the fixed time, the fixed display of the common drawing is performed many times by shortening. Therefore, the number of times the spread figure hits in a fixed time increases, thereby increasing the number of times the second special figure starting port 24 is opened. In addition, since the opening time of the second special view start port 24 is set to be long (opening extension function), a large number of gaming balls can be easily won. In this way, the number of variable display of the second special figure is further increased by the fact that many game balls are more likely to win, and the balls of the player are held by the prize balls obtained by the winning of the second special figure starting port 24. Is difficult to reduce, and can play an advantageous game.

  In the definite variation gaming state, the fluctuation time of the first special drawing, the second special drawing, and the common drawing is shortened similarly to the time saving state, and the opening extension function of the second special drawing starting port 24 operates. Setting regarding the shortening of various symbols and the opening extension function of the second special figure starting opening 24 is the same as the time saving state, but in addition to the time saving state, the probability variation gaming state increases the big hit probability of the special figure (a state of easy big hit) Therefore, the gaming state is further advantageous to the player.

FIG. 5 shows the game specification of the pachinko machine 1. The pachinko machine 1 is configured such that the probability of winning a jackpot game can be set in accordance with four types of “set value 1” to “set value 4”. When “set value 1” is set in the probability setting, the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state) is set to “1/200” in the jackpot probability of the first special figure and the second special figure. On the other hand, the high probability gaming state (probability changing gaming state) is set to "1/20".
In "Set value 2", the jackpot probability of the first special figure and the second special figure is "1/250" for the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state) and "high probability gaming state (probable variation gaming state)" It is set to 1/25.
In "Set value 3", the jackpot probability of the first special figure and the second special figure is "1/285" for the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state) and "high probability gaming state (probable variation gaming state)" It is set to 1 / 28.5.
In "Set value 4", the big hit probability of the first special figure and the second special figure is "1/300" in the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state) and "high probability gaming state (probability changing gaming state)" It is set to 1/20. In the present embodiment, the jackpot probability in the high probability gaming state is different depending on each set value, but all the jackpot probabilities in the high probability gaming state may be set to the same probability.

The probability change rush rate to shift to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game is set to "65%".
The number of probability variations in which the probability variation gaming state is continued is continued until the symbol variation associated with the determination of the first special figure or the second special figure reaches "100 times".
The time reduction number of times when the time reduction state is continued is continued until the symbol variation associated with the determination as to whether the first special figure or the second special figure reaches "100 times".
Next, the winning balls will be described. The winning balls of the first special view starting opening 23 are set to "3" for one entering ball. The winning balls of the second special view starting opening 24 are set to "one" for one entering ball. The number of winning balls of the other winning opening (for example, the general winning opening 27) is set to "10" for one entering ball. The winning balls of the special winning opening 25 are set to "15" per one entering ball.
The specified number of balls in the large winning opening 25 in the big hit game is set to “10”.

The winning probability of the common drawing is set to "one-fifth" in the normal gaming state, and is set to "four-fifth" in the time saving state.
In the normal gaming state, the opening time of the normal motorized role is set to “0.1 second × 1 time”, and is set to “2.2 seconds × 1 time” in the time saving state.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described based on program processing executed by the main control device 40 and the sub integrated control device 42 and the like.
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the "main routine" executed by main controller 40. "main routine" is composed of main processing (S100 to S110, S115) and remaining processing (S111), and has a 2 ms or 4 ms cycle. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined whether it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination process is performed by determining whether the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the CPU shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is good or not. In the case of a non-normal interrupt, there may be considered a CPU runaway due to power on or noise, etc. However, since it is considered that there is almost no runaway of CPU due to the recent improvement of technology, most are power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  Here, if it is not determined that the interrupt is not normal (S100: no), initialization of the processing in S115 (for example, writing of a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, setting a common drawing and a special drawing as an initial design) Write each initial value to the area, etc.). The numerical value for determining whether or not the normal interruption is made is written to the RAM as part of this initialization.

  When an affirmative determination with the normal interrupt is made in the process of S100 (S100: yes), the initial value random number updating process of S101 is performed. This process is an increment process in which “1” is added each time this process is executed for the value of the initial value random number, and “1” is added to the value of the initial value random number before the execution of this process. When the random number before executing is the maximum value, for example, "3999", it returns to the initial value "0" in the next processing, and repeatedly creates 4000 integers from "0" to "3999" in ascending order. Do.

  The subsequent big hit determination random number updating process (S102) is an increment process in which "1" is added each time the process is executed similarly to the initial value random number updating process, and for example, the next time when "3999" is the maximum value. The process returns to the initial value "0", and 4000 integers from "0" to "3999" are repeatedly created in ascending order. The first value of the jackpot determination random number is a value set (created) in the initial value random number update process (S101). Assuming that this value is 150, the jackpot determination random number is updated as "150" "151" "152"... "3999" "0" "1".

The pachinko machine 1 has the following numbers of jackpot wins. When the probability setting is set to the set value 1, in the normal probability gaming state, the number of numerical values to be a big hit is 20 (big hit probability 1/200). On the other hand, in the high probability gaming state, the number of jackpot numerical values is 200 (big hit probability 1/20).
Further, when the probability setting is set to the setting value 2, in the normal probability gaming state, the number of numbers that will be a big hit is 16 (big hit probability 1/250). On the other hand, in the high probability gaming state, the number of big hit numbers is 160 (big hit probability 1/25).
In addition, when the probability setting is set to the setting value 3, in the normal probability gaming state, the number of numbers that will be a big hit is 14 (big hit probability 1/285). On the other hand, in the high probability gaming state, the number of jackpot numerical values is 140 (big hit probability 1 / 28.5).
Further, when the probability setting is set to the set value 4, in the normal probability gaming state, the number of numerical values that will be a big hit is 13 (big hit probability 1/300). On the other hand, in the high probability gaming state, the number of big hit numbers is 133 (big hit probability 1/30).

  When the jackpot determining random number is cycled (to be updated 4000 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is made the initial value of the jackpot determining random number. The jackpot determination random number adds "1" from its initial value. Then, when the jackpot determination random number makes one round, an operation is performed to set the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the jackpot determination random number. That is, this series of operations will be repeated repeatedly. In the above example, since it is one round when the jackpot determination random number is “149”, the next to “149” is the value of the initial value random number. Assuming that the value of the initial random number is "87", "149" "87" "88" ... "3999" "0" "1" ... "86" changes to "86". Next to is the value of the new initial value random number.

The subsequent big hit symbol determination random number updating process (S103) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 100 integers from "0" to "99", and when "1" is added and the maximum value is exceeded for each main process Return to the initial value "0".
The subsequent hit determination random number updating process (S104) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers of "0" to "996", and "1" is added for each process to initially exceed the maximum value. Return to "0" which is the value of. The values to be won are “31” to “230” in the normal probability state (also referred to as a low probability state), and “31” to “828” in the high probability state. In addition, this random number update process for hitting determination is usually used for lottery of symbols, other initial value random numbers, random number for big hit determination, random number for big hit symbol determination, random number for reach determination, random number for variation pattern determination random number for special symbol Used for

The reach determination random number update process (S105) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers of “0” to “228”, and when “1” is added for each main process and the maximum value is exceeded, the first Return to the value "0".
The fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S106) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers of “0” to “1020”, and “1” is added for each process to initially exceed the maximum value. Return to "0" which is the value of.

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S107), the first special figure starting opening 23, the second special figure starting opening 24 entering the ball (winning) confirmation, the confirmation of the passing of the gaming ball of the common view operating gate 22, the large winning opening 25 The ball entry (winning) confirmation, the entry (winning) confirmation of the general prize winning opening 27, and the input processing of each switch connected to the main control device 40 are executed.
When the game ball wins the first special view start opening 23 and the second special view start opening 24, a plurality of random numbers such as random number for big hit determination, random number for big hit symbol determination, random number for change pattern determination, random number for reach determination are obtained . However, the maximum number of pending storages of the first special view based on entering the first special view starting opening 23 and the pending storage of the second special view based on entering the second special view starting opening 24 are up to four each Even if the game ball enters the first special view start opening 23 or the second special view start opening 24 when the hold storage is full, only the award balls are paid out, and the hold memory is not stored. ing.

In the next success / failure determination processing (S108), processing such as symbol determination or special game processing accompanying the success / failure determination corresponding to the common drawing and the special drawing is performed.
In each subsequent output process (S109), the main control device 40 controls the sub integrated control device 42, the effect symbol control device 43, the payout control device 41, the launch control device 44, the special winning opening solenoid 510, Each output processing is executed to the electronic article solenoid 511 and the like. There is a game ball entry in each winning opening (first special view starting opening 23, second special view starting opening 24, large winning opening 25, general winning opening 27) on the game board 2 by the winning confirmation process (S107) When it is detected, in order to pay out the number of winning balls according to the winning opening in which the entering ball is detected, a process of transmitting a signal including data of the winning balls to the payout control device 41 is executed.
Also, in each output process (S109), the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub integrated control device 42, and to notify that it is in error when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine 1 A process of outputting an error signal to 43 is also executed.

  The subsequent fraud monitoring process (S110) is a process for monitoring whether or not the regular winning opening 27 is fraudulent. In this process, it is determined whether the number of gaming balls entered in the general winning opening 27 within a predetermined time (for example, 60 seconds) is larger than a predetermined number (for example, ten) determined in advance. If the number is large, it is determined to be invalid and this is a process to notify that effect.

  The above-described residual processing subsequent to the main processing of the main routine is composed of the initial value random number update processing (S111), but is the same processing as S100 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeatedly executed as long as time permits until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this process from S100 to S110 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the big hit process, the difference in the display mode of the first special figure or the second special figure, etc. . As a result, the number of times the residual process is performed is also different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number is not uniform because the interrupt process (S100) is performed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number will be synchronized with the jackpot determination random number will be extremely small. Assuming that the values of the initial value random numbers (4000 of 0 to 3999) occur in the same degree when the jackpot determination random number makes one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/4000. Further, the hit determination random number updating process (S104) may also be executed in the remaining process.

Next, some subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S107), the success / failure determination process (S108), and each output process (S109) will be described.
“Special figure start winning confirmation processing” shown in FIG. 7 is various random numbers such as a random number etc. extracted when the game ball enters the first special figure start opening 23 and the second special view start opening 24, It is stored in the main control device 40 as pending storage. And it becomes processing which transmits various commands resulting from entering the ball to the first special view start opening 23 and the second special view start opening 24 to the sub integrated control unit 42. The number of pending storages that can be stored due to entry into the first special view starting opening 23 and the number of pending storages that can be stored due to entry into the second special view starting entry 24 are four each.

  In the "special view start winning confirmation process", first, it is determined whether or not the first special view start opening SW 503 detects entry of the first special view start opening 23 (S200). If there is no ball entry (S200: no), the process proceeds to S204. If there is a ball entering first special view starting opening 23 (S200: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of pending storages of the first special figure stored in main controller 40 in the process of S201 is full. (Determine whether the upper limit number has been reached). If it is full (S201: yea), the process proceeds to S204.

If the pending storage is not full (S201: no), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot random number determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. of the first special figure are extracted in the process of S202. Then, the extracted various random numbers are stored as a pending storage in the pending storage area of the main control device 40. Note that various extracted random numbers may be temporarily stored in a predetermined storage area of main controller 40 and then stored in the pending storage area. In addition, even if the number of reserved memories in the first special figure is “0”, various random numbers such as the pass / fail random number extracted when the gaming ball enters the first special figure starting opening 23 is less than the maximum value It is stored in the same way as when there is a memory number.
Thereafter, the suspension storage counter indicating the suspension storage number of the first special view is added, and a first special map suspension number command indicating the value of the suspension storage counter obtained is added to the sub integrated control unit 42 (S203).
Although not illustrated, it may be prefetched and determined whether or not there is a possibility of a big hit, a reach, etc. for the reserved storage of the first special view stored. When there is a possibility of a big hit or reach due to the pre-reading determination, it is desirable to send a pre-reading command indicating that to the sub integrated control apparatus 42.

  Subsequently, in the process of S204, it is determined whether or not the ball entering the second special view start opening 24 is detected by the second special view start opening SW504. If there is no ball entry (S204: no), the process is ended and the process returns to the main routine of the main control device 40. If there is a ball entering second special view starting opening 24 (S204: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of pending storages of the second special figure stored in main controller 40 in the process of S205 is full. (Determine whether the upper limit number has been reached). If it is full (S205: yea), it returns.

If the reserve memory of the second special figure is not full (S205: no), the random number for the big hit determination of the second special figure, the random number for the big hit design determination, the random number for reach determination, the random number for fluctuation pattern determination etc. It is extracted. Then, the extracted various random numbers are stored as a pending storage in the pending storage area of the main control device 40. Note that various extracted random numbers may be temporarily stored in a predetermined storage area of main controller 40 and then stored in the pending storage area. In addition, even if the number of reserved memories in the second special figure is “0”, various random numbers such as the random number extracted when the game ball enters the second special figure starting opening 24 is less than the maximum value It is stored in the same way as when there is a memory number.
Thereafter, a suspension storage counter indicating the number of suspension storages of the second special view is added, and a second special view suspension number command indicating the value of the suspension storage counter obtained is added to the sub integrated control device 42 (S207). Then return.
Although not illustrated, it may be prefetched and determined whether or not there is a possibility of a big hit, a reach, etc. for the reserved storage of the stored second special view. When there is a possibility of a big hit or reach due to the pre-reading determination, it is desirable to send a pre-reading command indicating that to the sub integrated control apparatus 42.

  Next, FIG. 8 thru | or FIG. 11 shows the flowchart of "special-design propriety judgment processing". In this process, the pass / fail determination of the first special view and the pass / fail determination of the second special view are executed. In this case, the pass / fail determination of the second special view is preferentially executed over the pass / fail determination of the first special view. In the following description, although the determination of whether the first special drawing and the second special drawing are substantially the same, the two are distinguished if necessary, but otherwise the first special drawing and the second special drawing are distinguished. It is simply referred to as "special drawing" without doing.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the “special feature suitability determination process” first confirms non-operation of the special motorized symbol and determines whether or not a big hit game or a small hit game is in progress (S300). If the special motorized role is in operation (S300: no), the processing shifts to "special game processing" (see FIG. 9). If the special electric combination is not in operation and is not in the big hit game (S300: yes), it is determined whether the first special figure or the second special figure is in the cessation of fluctuation (S301). If the variable stop is in progress (S301: yes), it is determined whether the final symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is not displayed (S302).

  If the final symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is not displayed in the process of S302 (S302: yes), it is determined whether there is a pending storage of the second special figure (S303). If there is the pending storage of the second special view (S303: yes), the pending storage number of the second special view is subtracted, and shift processing of the pending storage is performed (S304). By the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the second special view is subjected to the pass / fail determination.

If there is no reserve storage of the second special figure in the process of S303 (S303: no), it is determined whether there is a reserve storage of the first special figure (S305). If there is the pending storage of the first special view (S305: yes), the pending storage number of the first special view is subtracted, and shift processing of the pending storage is performed (S306). By the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the first special view is subjected to the pass / fail determination.
If there is no hold storage of the first special view (S305: no), the processing shifts to "special game processing".

Subsequent to the process of S304 or the process of S306, in the process of S310 shown in FIG. 9, the probability change flag is checked to determine whether the current gaming state is the probability change gaming state of the special view. If it is in the definite variation (S310: yes), the determination is performed by comparing the probability determination table for probability variation with a probability change and the jackpot determination random number of the pending storage to be subjected to the acceptance determination (S311).
If the process is not definite in the process of S310 (S310: no), the judgment is made by comparing the table for judging normality with probability set and the random number for big hit determination of the pending storage to be the target of the judgment (S312) ).

Subsequently, in the process of S313, it is determined whether the success or failure of the process of S311 or S312 is a big hit.
If it is a big hit (S313: yes), in the process of S314, a big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for the big hit symbol determination of the pending storage which is the object of the above-mentioned decision.
Subsequently, a variation pattern such as a variation time of the big hit symbol of the special figure is determined based on the variation pattern determination random number for holding storage to be the object of the determination of acceptance (S315).

  After determining the fluctuation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed (S316). In this process, based on the determined jackpot symbol, for example, the contents of the jackpot game such as whether to make the 10R probability variation jackpot game, the 8R probability variation jackpot game, or the 5R regular jackpot game, big hit game end The transition to a later probability change game or transition to a short time, the setting of the time of the big hit start effect of the big hit game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the big hit end effect, etc. are made.

  In the process of S313, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S313: no), a variation pattern such as a fluctuation time of the lost symbol of the special figure is determined in the process of S317. Next, a loss setting process is performed (S318).

After the process of S316 or the process of S318, a process of transmitting information of the pending storage after the success or failure determination (for example, information indicating a decrease in the pending storage after performing the success or failure determination) to the sub integrated control device 42 is performed (S319) ).
In the subsequent processing of S320, the first special view display device 28A or the second special view display device 28B is controlled to start changing the symbol, and the sub integrated control device 42 transmits the change start command of the symbol and the symbol specification command. Move to “Process”. The fluctuation start command and the symbol designation command include the fluctuation pattern of the special drawing, the determination result of the success / failure judgment of the special drawing, and the like. The pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment transmits a setting command including information of the installation value to the sub integrated control apparatus in the process of S320. Thereby, the sub integrated control apparatus 42 can grasp the set value which is set among the set value 1 to the set value 4. The sub integrated control apparatus 42 stores the received setting value in a predetermined buffer.

  When the special figure is fluctuating in the process of S301 in FIG. 8 (S301: no), as shown in FIG. 10, when the fluctuation time of the symbol passes (S330: yes), in the finalized symbol display processing of S331, Control is performed to end variable display of the special view of the first special view display device 28A or the second special view display device 28B. After that, it shifts to "special game processing".

If the final symbol of the special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 in FIG. 8 (S302: no), the process proceeds to the processing of S340 in FIG. 11, and it is determined whether or not the final symbol display time has ended. If the determined symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the processing proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, if the finalized symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), the finalized symbol display of the first special view display device 28A or the second special view display device 28B is executed by the process of the finalized symbol display end of S341. Control to end is performed, and a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 so as to end the finalized display of the pseudo rendering symbol corresponding to the special drawing.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the symbol of the special figure is a combination that makes a big hit (S342), and when it is a combination that makes a big hit (S342: yes), a probability change flag indicating a probability change gaming state is "1" If there is (S343: yes), the positive change flag is reset to "0" (S344). Subsequently, if the time saving flag indicating the time saving state is "1" (S345: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S346). By these processes, the gaming state related to the probability change state and the time saving state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

  Subsequently, the operation of the condition device is started (S347). In addition, the condition device is operated by the success or failure judgment of the special view being a big hit and the big hit symbol is determined and displayed, and the big hit game start condition is satisfied, and the big hit game is operated to operate the continuous action device. It is a necessary device. Further, the operation of the bonus game continuous actuation device is started (S348), and the jackpot start effect process is performed (S349), and the process shifts to "special game process". Also, by this processing, a big hit game start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. In the process of S 349, the main control device 40 may be configured to transmit the setting command including the information of the installation value to the sub integrated control device when transmitting the big hit game start command.

If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S342 (S342: no), it is determined whether the probability change flag is "1" (S350), and if the probability change flag is "1" (S350: yes) In the process of S 351, the probability variation counter that counts the duration of the probability variation state is subtracted, and it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter after the subtraction is “0”. If the probability change counter is "0" (S351: yes), the probability change flag is reset to "0" (S352).
Next, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is "1" (S353), and if the time saving flag is "1" (S353: yes), the time short counter for counting the time short duration is subtracted in the process of S354. Then, it is determined whether or not the time saving counter after the subtraction is "0". If the time saving counter is "0" (S354: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S355).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information on the probability change flag indicating the gaming state, the time saving flag, etc. is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. After that, it shifts to "special game processing". In the process of S356, the main control apparatus 40 may be configured to transmit a setting command including information of the installation value to the sub integrated control apparatus at the time of transmission of the state designation command.

As shown in FIG. 12, the "special game process" first determines whether or not the accessory continuous operating device is in operation (S400), and if in operation (S400: yes), the process in S401 is large. It is confirmed whether the winning opening 25 is open. If the item continuous actuation device is not in operation (S400: no), the process returns to the main routine of the main control device 40.
If the big winning opening 25 is not open in the process of S401 (S401: no), it is determined in the process of S402 whether it is in the interval of the big hit game. If it is not during the interval (S402: no), it is determined whether the special figure big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S403. If the jackpot end effect is not being performed (S403: no), it is determined whether the jackpot start presentation time has elapsed in the process of S404. If the jackpot start presentation time has elapsed (S404: yes), the large winning opening 25 of the first round is opened in the large winning opening opening process, and the process returns (S405).

  If the special winning opening is open in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 25 has 10 winnings (prescribed number of winnings) (S410), Alternatively, it is determined whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 25 has ended (S411), and if any positive determination (S410: yes or S411: yes), the special winning opening 25 is closed in the processing of S412. The big hit interval process is executed (S413), and the process returns.

If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S402 of the above-mentioned FIG. 12 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is judged whether the big hit interval time has passed (S420), and if it has passed (S420) S420: yes, it is determined whether or not it is the final round in the process of S421 (for example, if it is a 10R jackpot game, the 10R and 5R jackpot games are 5R). If it is the final round, (S421: yes), the processing of the big hit end production of S422 is executed, with this processing the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control unit 42 and the production design control device 43, the big hit game is ended Return.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S421: no), the opening process of the big winning opening 25 of the next round is executed by the opening process of the big winning opening 25 of S423, and the process returns.

  If the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S403 of FIG. 12 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined whether the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S430). If it is confirmed that the big hit end production time has elapsed (S430: yes), processing of stopping the operation of the continuous product operating device of S431 is executed, and then processing of stopping the operation of the condition device is executed (S432).

  Subsequently, in the process of S433, it is determined whether or not there is a setting to make a definite change after the end of the big hit game according to the big hit symbol or the like. If there is a setting of definite variation (S433: yes), the number of repetitions (100 times) of the probability fluctuation state is set in the processing of S434, and "1" is set to the probable variation flag in the processing of S435. As a result, the probability fluctuation state is given after the big hit game is over. The process of S433 corresponds to the benefit judging means described in the claims.

  Next, in the process of S436, it is determined whether or not there is a setting to make time-saving according to the big hit symbol or the like. If the time saving setting is made (S436: yes), the number of repetitions of the time saving state (100 times) is set (S437), and the time saving flag is set to "1" (S438). As a result, time saving status is given after the end of the big hit game. After that, the process (S439) of the big hit end command transmission of the special figure is executed, the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control unit 42 and the effect symbol control unit 43 by this process, the big hit game is ended and it returns. In S439, the main control device 40 may be configured to transmit a setting command including information of the installation value to the sub integrated control device at the time of transmission of the big hit end command.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16 to FIG. 22, the notice effect performed in the pseudo effect during fluctuation of the first special view or the second special view will be described. FIG. 16 shows “effect determination process 1” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. The “effect determination process 1” is a subroutine that branches from the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42. "Effect determination process 1" is a process of starting a pseudo effect by receiving a special figure change start command from the main control device 40, and executes an advance effect using an operation means when the pseudo effect is started. It is processing to determine whether or not. The notice effect using the operation means is not performed for each change of the first special figure or the second special figure. First, the sub integrated control apparatus 42 determines whether a special view change start command (see S320 in FIG. 9) from the main control apparatus 40 has been received (S500). If the special view fluctuation start command has not been received (S500: no), the process is ended and the process returns to the main routine of the sub integrated control unit 42.

  If the special figure fluctuation start command is received in the process of S500 (S500: yes), in the process of S501, a distribution random number is extracted as an index of whether to perform the advance notice using the operation means. Subsequently, in accordance with the extracted distribution random number, an effect pattern of the pseudo effect and the advance effect is determined (S502).

  When the effect pattern is determined in the process of S502, it is determined as the effect pattern whether or not to perform the advance effect. At the time of the decision to perform the advance presentation, the type of the advance presentation is determined. For example, there are "notice effect A" indicating that there is a possibility that the result of the success or failure judgment during the change may be won, and "notice effect B" showing the result of the success or failure judgment before symbol determination It is determined which of the effects of "notice effect A" and "notice effect B" is to be performed. Furthermore, it is determined whether or not to perform the advance notice using the operation means in the advance notice.

  Next, it is determined whether the rendering pattern is a preview rendering using the operation means (S503). If the determination is positive (S503: yes), in the process of S504, it is selected whether to use the effect button 15 or the jog dial 16 for the effect. In this case, the selection of the operation means is selected in accordance with the set value set in the probability setting and the type of "prediction effect A" or "prediction effect B".

FIG. 18 shows the relationship between the setting value of probability setting and the selection rate of the effect button 15 (first operation means) and the selection rate of the jog dial 16 (second operation means) when “preliminary effect A” is selected. For example, when the determination result is a big hit, the selection rate of the first operation means is set to 1% and the selection rate of the second operation means even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4”. Can be set to 9%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 1% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 4%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 2% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 3%.
If the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 1% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 4%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.

For example, when the determination result is a loss, the selection rate of the first operation means is set to 15% and the selection rate of the second operation means even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4”. Can be set to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 10% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 0%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 10% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 0%.
If the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 12% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 3%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 3% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 2%.

FIG. 19 shows the relationship between the setting value when “preliminary effect B” is selected, the selection rate of the effect button 15 (first operation means), and the selection rate of the jog dial 16 (second operation means). For example, when the determination result is a big hit, the selection rate of the first operation means is set to 1% and the selection rate of the second operation means even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4”. Can be set to 9%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 9% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 1%.
If the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 10%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 6% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 4%.
If the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 5% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 10%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 10%.

For example, when the determination result is a loss, the selection rate of the first operation means is 5% and the selection rate of the second operation means even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4”. Can be set to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 5% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 0%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 3% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 2%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the effective period of the operation means is set in the subsequent processing of S505. For example, it is desirable to set the effective period to be performed in the middle of the pseudo effect. Then, if a negative determination is made in the process of S503 (S503: no), or after the process of S505 ends, a process of starting effect display is performed (S506). Then return. In the process of S506, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 controls the effect symbol display device 21 to simulate the symbol variation of the first special view or the second special view. The production is started.

  FIG. 17 shows the “notice effect processing 1” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. In this process, first, it is determined whether or not a pseudo effect corresponding to the symbol variation of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed (S600). If the effect is not displayed (S600: no), the process returns. If the effect display is in progress (S600: yes), it is determined in the process of S601 whether or not it is within the effective period of the previously set operation means (see S505 in FIG. 16). If it is not a valid period (S601: no), it returns. If it is a valid period (S601: yes), it is determined whether or not the operation suggestion for prompting the user to operate the operation means is being displayed in the process of S602.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S602 (S602: no), in the process of S603, a process is performed to display an operation suggestion that urges the operation of the previously selected operation means (see S504 in FIG. 16). By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and under the control of the effect symbol control device 43, in the effect symbol display device 21, an operation suggestion that urges the operation of the selected operation means is started.

  In the case of an affirmative determination (S602: yes) in the process of S602, or after completion of the process of S603, it is determined in S604 whether or not an operation means with a valid operation has been operated. If it is affirmation determination (S604: yes), in the process of S605, the display process of "notice effect A" which shows that the result of the yes / no decision in the possibility of winning may be won, or the result of the yes / no decision is determined The display processing of "preliminary effect B" shown before is performed. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and under the control of the rendering symbol control device 43, in the rendering symbol display device 21, "notice effect A" or "notice effect B" is started.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S604 (S604: no), it is determined in the process of S606 whether or not the effective period of the operation means has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S606: no), the process returns.
After completion of the process of S605, or if an affirmative determination (S606: yes) in the process of S606, an end process of the operation suggestion display of the operation means is performed in the process of S607. Then return. By the process of S 607, the command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and the control of the rendering symbol control device 43 ends the display of the operation suggestion of the operating means in the rendering symbol display device 21. In addition, it is desirable that the display of the start of the advance notice effect of S605 and the end of the operation suggestion of S607 be switched at substantially the same time in the effect symbol display device 21.
In the "preliminary effect process 1", the advance effect is not performed unless the operation means is operated in the effective period (S604: no, S606: yes).

  Next, FIG. 20 shows an example of a display mode of “notice effect A” using the operation means and the pseudo effect accompanying the fluctuation of the special view executed in the effect symbol display device 21. As shown in FIG. 20 (a), in the pseudo effect, a pseudo effect pattern 700 consisting of three digits is variably displayed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21.

  When the effect is advanced and the advance effect using the operation means is started, the character 701 of the pachinko machine 1 is displayed on the display screen as shown in FIG. 20 (b). At the same time, an operation suggestion A 702 prompting to operate the selected operation means (in the example, the effect button 15) is displayed. In addition, a timer 703 indicating a valid period of the operation is displayed. The pseudo rendering symbol 700 is displayed smaller on the lower right corner of the lower end portion of the display screen.

When the player presses the effect button 15 during the effective period, the display of the operation suggestion A 702 ends, and as shown in FIG. The effect display A704 is executed, which indicates that the result of is high in the probability of winning.
After that, although the figure is omitted, in the effect symbol display device 21, the "notice effect A" is ended, and the determination result as to whether it is a big hit is notified by finalizing the pseudo effect pattern. Note that "preliminary effect A" using the operation means may be started during reach effect.

  FIG. 21 shows an example of a display mode of “notice effect B” which is executed in the effect symbol display device 21 and which is a pseudo effect accompanying the fluctuation of the special view and the operation means. As shown in FIG. 21 (a), in the pseudo effect, a pseudo effect pattern 700 consisting of three digits is variably displayed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21.

  When the effect progresses and the advance effect using the operation means is started, as shown in FIG. 21B, the character 701 is displayed on the display screen, and at the same time, the selected operation means (in the example shown in FIG. An operation suggestion B 705 prompting the user to operate the jog dial 16) is displayed. In addition, a timer 703 indicating a valid period of the operation is displayed. The pseudo rendering symbol 700 is displayed smaller on the lower right corner of the lower end portion of the display screen.

When the jog dial 16 is rotated during the effective period by the player, the display of the operation suggestion B 705 ends, and as shown in FIG. An effect indication B706 is executed that indicates that the result is highly likely to be won.
After that, although the figure is omitted, in the effect symbol display device 21, the "prediction effect B" is ended, and the determination result as to whether it is a big hit is notified by finalizing and displaying the pseudo effect symbol. Note that "prediction effect B" using the operation means may be started during reach effect.

The notice effect A displayed when the effect button 15 is operated and the notice effect A displayed when the jog dial 16 is operated will be described with reference to FIG.
In the effect determination process 1 shown in FIG. 16, the sub integrated control apparatus determines the advance notice effect A using the operation means as the effect pattern in the process of S502, and when the effect button 15 is selected in the process of S504, the effect The effect that the notice effect A using the effect button 15 is executed on the symbol display device 21 is started, and when the effect button 15 is operated, the notice effect A is displayed as shown in FIG. Become.
Further, in the effect determination process 1 shown in FIG. 16, the sub integrated control apparatus determines the notice effect A using the operation means as the effect pattern in the process of S502, and selects the jog dial 16 in the process of S504. The effect that the advance notice effect A using the jog dial 16 is executed is started in the effect symbol display device 21, and when the jog dial 16 is operated, the advance notice effect A is displayed as shown in FIG. 22 (b). .
That is, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present invention, the notice effect (notice effect A, notice effect B) using the operation means is determined in the effect pattern determination process (S502), and then the effect button 15 is used in the process of S504. Because the jog dial 16 is used or selected, different operation means may be effective even when the same notice effect (notice effect A, notice effect B) is displayed.

  The pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment is fired toward a first operation means [15] operable by the player, a second operation means [16] operable by the player, and the game board [2]. It is judged that the success or failure judgment means [Fig. 9, S313] which executes the success or failure judgment of whether to shift to the special game advantageous to the player by satisfying the predetermined game ball and the winning game judgment means Probability setting means [60, 61] having a plurality of types of probability as winning probability to be set, and making it possible to set any of a plurality of types of winning probability, and a predetermined game effect to be executed according to the progress of the game Among them, operation suggesting means that suggests either operation of the first operating means or operation of the second operating means [FIG. 17, S603], and the first operating means or the second operating means suggested by the operation suggesting means It is useful for the player by being operated Specific effect display means (FIG. 17, S605) capable of displaying a specific effect to which information is given, and operation selection to select which of the operation of the first operation means or the operation of the second operation means is suggested by the operation suggestion means The operation selecting means is configured to have different probabilities of selecting the first operating means or the second operating means according to the setting contents of the probability setting means.

  Furthermore, the pachinko machine 1 is a notice effect that suggests that the specific effect may be the result of the pass / fail judgment of the pass / fail judgment means or the possibility of winning of the pass / fail judgment.

According to this, in the notice effect for giving a notice of whether or not to be a big hit, the probability of selecting the first operating means or the second operating means is made different according to the probability setting of the winning probability to be the big hit. The player is made to pay attention to which operation means is selected, and it is possible to give pleasure in estimating the setting contents of the probability setting of the winning probability of the big hit by the selected operation means.
For example, as shown in FIG. 18, if the selection rate of the first operation means is 0% and the selection rate of the second operation means is 5%, the player sets the probability setting to “set value 3” or “set value It can be inferred to be 4 ". If the selection rate of the first operation means is 2% and the selection rate of the second operation means is 3%, the player may infer that the probability setting is "set value 1" or "set value 3" it can. If the selection rate of the first operation means is 1% and the selection rate of the second operation means is 4%, the player may infer that the probability setting is "set value 2" or "set value 4" it can. As described above, it is possible to estimate each set value independently as well as to estimate in group units such as an odd group and an even group of set values. In addition, which of the effect button 15 and the jog dial 16 is selected, the operation means is operated to display the contents of the effect (notice effect effect) displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 and the result of the subsequent judgment of success or failure etc. It is possible to give enjoyment to guess the setting contents of the probability setting of the jackpot probability by judging in a random manner.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, during the big hit game, probability in the big hit effect (corresponding to the specific effect described in the claims) to predict whether to shift to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game It is configured to change the probability that the operation means is selected according to the setting value of the setting. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the pachinko machine of the second embodiment will be described below focusing on the differences. In the drawings, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals.

A big hit effect executed during the big hit game will be described using FIG. 23 to FIG. FIG. 23 shows “big hit effect determination processing 1” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. The "big hit effect determination process 1" is a process of starting a big hit effect by receiving a big hit game start command from the main control device 40, and is a process using an operation means to start the big hit effect? It is processing to determine whether or not.
First, the sub integrated control device 42 determines whether or not the big hit game start command (see FIG. 11, S 349) from the main control device 40 has been received (S700). If the jackpot game start command has not been received (S700: no), the processing is ended and the processing returns to the main routine of the sub integrated control device 42.

  If a big hit game start command is received in the process of S700 (S700: yes), in the process of S701, a distribution random number is extracted as an index of whether or not to execute a big hit effect using the operation means. Subsequently, a jackpot effect pattern is determined according to the extracted distribution random number (S702).

  In the process of S702, when the jackpot effect pattern is determined, the jackpot effect A indicating that there is a possibility of transition to the probability change gaming state after the end of the jackpot game is determined as the effect pattern and the transition to the probability change gaming state There is a "big hit effect B" indicating that it has been done. Then, it is determined which of the effects of “big hit effect A” and “big hit effect B” is to be performed. Furthermore, in the jackpot effect, it is determined whether or not to use the operation means.

  Next, it is determined whether the effect pattern is a big hit effect using the operation means (S703). If the determination is positive (S703: yes), in the process of S704, it is selected whether to use the effect button 15 or the jog dial 16 for the effect. In this case, the selection of the operation means is selected according to the set value set in the probability setting and the type of the jackpot effect.

FIG. 25 shows the relationship between the setting value of probability setting when “big hit effect A” is selected, the selection rate of the effect button 15 (first operation means), and the selection rate of the jog dial 16 (second operation means). For example, when transitioning to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game, the selection rate of the first operation means is 1%, the second operation even if the probability setting is any of "set value 1" to "set value 4" The selectivity of the means can be set to 9%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 1% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 4%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 2% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 3%.
If the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 1% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 4%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.

For example, if it does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit game end (normal gaming state), the selection rate of the first operation means is 15% whether the probability setting is any of "set value 1" to "set value 4". In addition, the selectivity of the second operation means can be set to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 10% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 0%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 10% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 0%.
If the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 12% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 3%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 3% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 2%.

FIG. 26 shows the relationship between the setting value when “big hit effect B” is selected, the selection rate of the effect button 15 (first operation means), and the selection rate of the jog dial 16 (second operation means). For example, when transitioning to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game, the selection rate of the first operation means is 1%, the second operation even if the probability setting is any of "set value 1" to "set value 4" The selectivity of the means can be set to 9%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 9% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 1%.
If the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 10%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 6% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 4%.
If the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selection rate of the first operation means to 5% and the selection rate of the second operation means to 10%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 10%.

For example, if the game does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit game is over (normal gaming state), the selection rate of the first operation means is 5% even if the probability setting is any of "set value 1" to "set value 4". In addition, the selectivity of the second operation means can be set to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 5% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 0%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.
If the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 3% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 2%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, the selection rate of the first operation means can be set to 10% and the selection rate of the second operation means can be set to 5%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity of the first operation means to 0% and the selectivity of the second operation means to 5%.

As shown in FIG. 23, the effective period of the operation means is set in the subsequent processing of S705. For example, the effective period is set during the fourth round of the big hit game. Since the pachinko machine is selected as a big hit game, either 5R normal big hit game, 8R positive variation big hit game, or 10R positive hit big game, whether to shift to the high probability game state after the end of the big hit game in the fourth round The player is expected to have a greater sense of expectation by producing an advance notice.
Then, if a negative determination is made in the process of S703 (S703: no), or after the process of S705 ends, a process of starting a big hit effect display is performed (S706). Then return. By the process of S706, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the control of the effect symbol control device 43 causes the jackpot effect to be started in the effect symbol display device 21.

  FIG. 24 shows the “playing state notification process 1” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. In this process, first, it is determined whether or not a jackpot effect is being displayed (S800). If the effect is not displayed (S800: no), the process returns. If the effect is being displayed (S800: yes), it is determined in the process of S801 whether or not it is within the effective period of the operation means set previously (see S705 in FIG. 23). If it is not a valid period (S801: no), it returns. If it is a valid period (S801: yes), it is determined whether or not an operation suggestion for prompting the user to operate the operation means is being displayed in the process of S802.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S802 (S802: no), in the process of S803, a process is performed to display an operation suggestion that urges the operation of the operation means (see FIG. 23, S704) selected earlier. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and under the control of the effect symbol control device 43, in the effect symbol display device 21, an operation suggestion that urges the operation of the selected operation means is started.

  In the case of an affirmative determination (S802: yes) in the process of S802, or after the end of the process of S803, it is determined in the process of S804 whether or not the operation means whose operation is valid is operated. If it is affirmation determination (S804: yes), in the game state display process of S805, the game state display process of “big hit effect A” indicating that there is a possibility of shifting to the probability change game state after the big hit game is over, or the odd change game A game state display process of "big hit effect B" indicating transition to the state is performed. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 controls the effect symbol display device 21 to start the game state display of "big hit effect A" or "big hit effect B". Ru. Subsequently, end processing of the operation suggestion display of the operation means is performed (S806). Then return. By the process of S806, a command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and the control of the rendering symbol control device 43 ends the display of the operation suggestion of the operating means in the rendering symbol display device 21. In addition, it is desirable that display of the start of the game state display of S 805 and the end of the operation suggestion of S 806 be switched at substantially the same time in the effect symbol display device 21.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S804 (S804: no), it is determined in the process of S807 whether or not the effective period of the operation means has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S807: no), the process returns.
If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S807 (S807: yes), the process of S805 and the process of S806 are performed. Then return. That is, the game state display is performed even if the player does not operate the operation means as suggested.

  Next, FIG. 27 shows an example of a display mode of the "big hit effect A" using the operation means and the big hit effect in the big hit game executed in the effect symbol display device 21. As shown in FIG. 27A, in the jackpot effect, an air battle 710 by two fighter planes is developed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21. Further, on the display screen, the current number of rounds of the big hit game and a comment indicating that if the operating means can be operated to shoot down the enemy aircraft, the game is shifted to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit game is over are displayed.

  When the effect progresses and the jackpot effect using the operation means is started, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), on the display screen, the operation prompting the user to operate the operation means (effect button 15 in the illustrated example) Suggestion C711 is displayed.

  When the player presses the effect button 15 and the display of the operation suggestion C 711 ends, as shown in FIG. 27C, the enemy aircraft is successfully shot down 712 as shown in FIG. The game state notification of “A” is started, and a game state notification A 713 is executed which suggests that the probability of shifting to the probability change gaming state after the big hit game is high.

  On the other hand, when the player presses the effect button 15, the display of the operation suggestion C711 ends, and as shown in FIG. 27 (e), if the enemy aircraft is not shot down 714, the “big hit shown in FIG. The game state notification of the effect A "is started, and a game state notification B 715 is executed which suggests that there is no possibility of shifting to the probability change gaming state after the big hit game.

  Next, FIG. 28 shows an example of a display mode of the "big hit effect B" using the operation means and the big hit effect in the big hit game executed in the effect symbol display device 21. As shown in FIG. 28A, in the jackpot effect, a boxing match 720 is developed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21. Also, on the display screen, the current number of rounds of the big hit game and the comment that the game mode is shifted to the probability change gaming state after the big hit game is displayed if the enemy can be defeated by operating the operation means suggested next Be done.

  When the effect progresses, and the jackpot effect using the operation means is started, as shown in FIG. 28 (b), the operation screen (in the example shown in the figure, an operation suggestion to urge to operate the operation means (jog dial 16)) D721 is displayed.

  The jog dial 16 is rotated by the player, the display of the operation suggestion D 721 ends, and as shown in FIG. 28C, the player wins 722 as shown in FIG. 28D, “big hit effect B” shown in FIG. The game state notification is started, and a game state notification C723 is executed which suggests transition to the probability change game state after the big hit game.

  On the other hand, the display of the operation suggestion D 721 is ended by the rotation operation of the jog dial 16 by the player, and as shown in FIG. 28 (e), the jackpot of the enemy side is 724; The game state notification of "B" is started, and a game state notification B725 is executed which indicates that the game does not shift to the probability change gaming state after the big hit game.

According to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, the first operation means or the second operation means is selected according to the probability setting of the winning probability to be a big hit in the jackpot effect indicating whether to shift to the probability variation gaming state Since the probability of doing is different, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which operation means is selected, and to give enjoyment to infer the setting contents of the probability setting of the winning probability of the big hit by the selected operation means.
For example, as shown in FIG. 25, if the selection rate of the first operation means is 0% and the selection rate of the second operation means is 5%, the player sets the probability setting to “set value 3” or “set value It can be inferred to be 4 ". If the selection rate of the first operation means is 2% and the selection rate of the second operation means is 3%, the player may infer that the probability setting is "set value 1" or "set value 3" it can. If the selection rate of the first operation means is 1% and the selection rate of the second operation means is 4%, the player may infer that the probability setting is "set value 2" or "set value 4" it can. As described above, it is possible to estimate each set value independently as well as to estimate in group units such as an odd group and an even group of set values. In addition, the contents of the effect (big hit effect) displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 by operating the operation means which of the effect button 15 and the jog dial 16 is selected, and the gaming state after the big hit game end, etc. It is possible to give pleasure to judge the setting contents of the probability setting of the winning probability of the big hit judging generally.

  The pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the probability change port for shifting to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game is not provided in the big winning opening by entering the ball during the big hit game. However, it is possible to provide a definite change port and perform an effect suggesting the operation of the operation means during the big hit effect, and to notify whether it is easy to enter the positive change port when the operation means is operated.

In the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, although the configuration content of the jackpot probability setting setting is suggested by the difference of the operation means in which the operation becomes effective, it is not limited to this. For example, the setting contents of the probability setting may be inferred by the difference in the display mode of the symbols indicating the operation means displayed on the effect symbol display device in order to operate the operation means. For example, in accordance with the operation suggestion A 702 of FIG. 20 and the operation suggestion C 711 of FIG. 27, the operation suggestion E 707 shown in FIG. 29 is displayed. Further, in accordance with the operation suggestion B 705 in FIG. 21 and the operation suggestion D 721 in FIG. 28, the operation suggestion F 708 shown in FIG. 30 is displayed.
According to the configuration described above, the probability that the operation suggestion E 707 or the operation suggestion F 708 is displayed on the effect symbol display device differs according to the setting contents of the big hit probability setting, so the symbol indicating which operation means is displayed to the player It is possible to give attention to what is done and to give pleasure in estimating the setting contents of the winning probability by the symbol indicating the displayed operation means.
The effect that indicates the operation of the operation means displayed on the effect symbol display device (operation suggestion A 702, operation suggestion B 705, operation suggestion C 711, operation suggestion D 721, operation suggestion E 707, operation suggestion F 708) A configuration is also conceivable that indicates the degree of expectation to shift to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game.
Moreover, in the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the effect button 15 and the jog dial 16 are used as the operation means, but the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the effect symbol display device 21 may be configured to be touchable on the screen, and the effect button 15 and the effect symbol display device 21 may be screen touches. Furthermore, an operation lever or the like provided on the front of the pachinko machine and operable by the player may be used.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machines of the first and second embodiments are configured to change the probability that the first operation means or the second operation means is selected in the specific effect according to the probability setting, and allow the player to guess the probability setting. . On the other hand, in the third embodiment, a vibration device is provided in the operation means, and the effect that emphasizes the operation means (operation portion effect effect) can be performed by vibrating. Then, according to the probability setting, the player changes the probability whether to perform the effect emphasizing the operation means in the notice effect (specific effect) indicating the result of whether or not to be a big hit or the possibility of becoming a big hit, the player To make the probability setting guess. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the pachinko machine of the third embodiment will be described focusing on the differences. In the drawings, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 31 shows the longitudinal end faces of the effect button 15 and the jog dial 16 used in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment. The effect button 15 is configured to be capable of vibrating the entire pressing button portion by a vibrating device 527 provided at the button root portion, in addition to the function of emitting an operation signal by the pressing operation of the player.
As shown in FIG. 32, the vibration device 527 is electrically connected to the sub integrated control device 42. The vibration device 527 vibrates and emphasizes the effect button 15 in accordance with the control of the sub integrated control device 42.

  FIG. 33 shows “effect determination processing 2” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. The “effect determination process 2” is a subroutine that branches from the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42. "Effect determination process 2" is a process of starting a pseudo effect by receiving a special figure change start command from the main control device 40, and executes an advance effect using an operation means when the pseudo effect is started. It is processing to determine whether or not. The notice effect using the operation means is not performed for each change of the first special figure or the second special figure. First, the sub integrated control apparatus 42 determines whether it has received a special view change start command from the main control apparatus 40 (S550). If the special figure fluctuation start command has not been received (S550: no), the process is ended and the process returns to the main routine of the sub integrated control unit 42.

  If the special figure fluctuation start command is received in the process of S550 (S550: yes), in the process of S551, a distribution random number is extracted as an index of whether to perform the notice effect using the operation means. Subsequently, the effect pattern of the pseudo effect and the advance effect is determined according to the extracted distribution random number (S552).

  In the process of S552, when the effect pattern is determined, it is determined as the effect pattern whether or not to perform the advance effect. At the time of the decision to perform the advance presentation, the type of the advance presentation is determined. For example, there are "notice effect C" indicating that there is a possibility that the result of the judgment of success or failure during the change may be won, and "notice effect D" showing the result of judgment of the success or failure before symbol determination. It is determined which of the effects "prediction effect C" and "notice effect D" is to be performed. Furthermore, it is determined whether or not to perform a notice effect to vibrate the operation means in the notice effect.

  Next, it is determined whether the effect pattern is a preliminary effect using the operation means (S553). If it is affirmation determination (S553: yes), the effective period of an operation means will be set in the process of S554. For example, it is desirable to set the effective period to be performed in the middle of the pseudo effect. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the effect button 15 is vibrated by the effect (S555). In this case, the determination as to whether or not the vibrating device 527 of the effect button 15 is to be activated is selected according to the set value set in the probability setting and the type of "notice effect C" or "notice effect D".

FIG. 36 shows the relationship between the setting value of the probability setting when “notice effect C” is selected and the selection rate of whether to vibrate the effect button 15 (operation means). For example, when the determination result is a big hit, the selection rate at which the operation means is vibrated to 1%, the selection rate not causing the operation means to vibrate even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4” Can be set to 9%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 1% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 4%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selection rate for vibrating the operation means to 3%, to 2% where the operation means is not vibrated.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 1% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 4%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is "set value 4", it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.

For example, when the determination result is a loss, the selection rate at which the operation means is vibrated to a selectivity of 15% at which the operation means is not vibrated regardless of the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4”. Can be set to 5%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 10% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 0%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 10% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 0%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selection rate at which the operation means is not vibrated to 12% and the selection rate at which the operation means is vibrated to 3%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 3% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 2%.

FIG. 37 shows the relationship between the setting value of probability setting and the selection rate as to whether or not the effect button 15 (operation means) is to be vibrated when "premature effect D" is selected. For example, when the determination result is a big hit, the selection rate at which the operation means is vibrated to 1%, the selection rate not causing the operation means to vibrate even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4” Can be set to 9%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 9% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 1%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 10%.
Moreover, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 6% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 4%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 5% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 10%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is "set value 4", it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 10%.

For example, when the determination result is a loss, the selection rate at which the operation means is vibrated to 5% without causing the operation means to vibrate even if the probability setting is any of “set value 1” to “set value 4” Can be set to 5%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 5% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 0%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.
Moreover, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 3% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 2%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for the second operating means to 5%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is "set value 4", it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.

  As shown in FIG. 33, it is determined whether or not the effect button 15 is vibrated within the effective period in the subsequent processing of S556. If it is affirmation determination (S556: yes), "1" will be set to the vibration flag used as the parameter | index which makes the vibration apparatus 527 vibrate in the process of S557.

  Then, if the determination is negative in the process of S553 (S553: no), or if the determination is negative in the process of S556 (S556: no), or after the process of S557 ends, the effect display is started. Processing is performed (S558). Then return. In the process of S 558, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and control of the effect symbol control device 43 causes the effect symbol display device 21 to simulate the symbol variation of the first special view or the second special view. The production is started.

  FIG. 34 shows the “notice effect processing 2” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. In this processing, first, it is determined whether or not a pseudo effect corresponding to the symbol variation of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed (S650). If the effect is not displayed (S650: no), the process returns. If the effect is being displayed (S650: yes), in the process of S651, it is determined whether it is within the effective period of the effect button 15 (see FIG. 33, S554). If it is not a valid period (S651: no), it returns. If it is a valid period (S651: yes), it is determined in the process of S652 whether the vibration flag (see FIG. 33, S557) is "1".

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S652 (S652: no), it is determined whether or not an operation suggestion that prompts an operation of the effect button 15 is being displayed in the process of S653. If the determination is negative (S653: no), a process is performed to display an operation suggestion that prompts an operation of the effect button 15 in the process of S654. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and under the control of the effect symbol control device 43, in the effect symbol display device 21, an operation suggestion to urge the operation of the effect button 15 is started.

  In the case of an affirmative determination (S653: yes) in the process of S653, or after completion of the process of S654, it is determined whether the effect button 15 is operated in the process of S655. If it is affirmation determination (S655: yes), in the process of S656, the display process of "notice effect C" which shows that the result of the yes / no decision under fluctuation may be won, or the decision result of the yes / no decision The display process of "preliminary effect D" shown in front of is performed. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and under the control of the rendering symbol control device 43, in the rendering symbol display device 21, "notice effect C" or "notice effect D" is started.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S655 (S655: no), it is determined in the process of S658 whether or not the effective period of the operation means has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S658: no), the process returns.
After completion of the process of S656, or if an affirmative determination is made in the process of S658 (S658: yes), an end process of the operation suggestion display of the operation means is performed in the process of S657. Then return. By the process of S657, the command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and the control of the rendering symbol control device 43 ends the display of the operation suggestion of the rendering button 15 in the rendering symbol display device 21. In addition, it is desirable that the display is switched at substantially the same time in the effect symbol display device 21 as the start of the advance notice effect of S 656 and the end of the operation suggestion of S 657.
In the "preliminary effect processing 2", if the operation means is not operated during the effective period (S655: no, S658: yes), the advance effect is not performed.

  If it is affirmation determination (S652: yes) in the process of said S652, as shown in FIG. 35, it will be determined whether the operation suggestion which urges operation of the production button 15 is being displayed in the process of S660. If the determination is negative (S660: no), processing is performed to display an operation suggestion that prompts an operation of the effect button 15 in the processing of S661. In the case of an affirmative determination (S660: yes) in the process of S660, or after the end of the process of S661, it is determined in the process of S662 whether the vibration device 527 for vibrating the effect button 15 is in operation. If the determination is negative (S662: no), the vibration device 527 is operated in the processing of S663 to perform processing of vibrating the effect button 15.

  In the case of an affirmative determination (S662: yes) in the process of S662, or after the process of S663 is completed, it is determined whether the effect button 15 is operated in the process of S664. If it is affirmation determination (S664: yes), in the process of S665, the display process of "notice effect C" which shows that the result of the yes / no decision under fluctuation may be won, or the decision result of the yes / no decision The display process of "preliminary effect D" shown in front of is performed. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and under the control of the rendering symbol control device 43, in the rendering symbol display device 21, "notice effect C" or "notice effect D" is started.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S664 (S664: no), it is determined in the process of S669 whether or not the effective period of the operation means has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S669: no), the process returns.
After completion of the process of S665, or if an affirmative determination is made in the process of S669 (S669: yes), an operation end process of the vibrating device 527 is performed in the process of S666. Next, the vibration flag is reset to "0" (S667), and an operation suggestion display termination process of the effect button 15 is performed (S668). Then return. By the process of S668, a command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and the control of the rendering symbol control device 43 ends the display of the operation suggestion of the rendering button 15 in the rendering symbol display device 21. In addition, it is desirable that the display of the start of the advance notice effect of S665 and the end of the operation suggestion of S668 be switched at substantially the same time in the effect symbol display device 21.
In the "preliminary effect processing 2", when the effect button 15 is not operated during the effective period (S655: no, S658: yes, S664: no, S669: yes), no advance rendering is performed.
In addition, in this embodiment, the pseudo visual effect accompanying the fluctuation of the special drawing, the operation suggestion of the effect button 15, and the display modes of the "prediction effect C" and the "prediction effect D", which are executed by the effect symbol display device 21, The same as the example shown in FIGS. 20 (a), (b), (c) and 21 (c).

  The pachinko machine of the third embodiment operates the operation unit effect control means for emphasizing the operation means by operating the operation means [15] which can be operated by the player and the operation means [FIG. 35] , S663] and a decision means for judging whether or not to shift to a special game which is advantageous for the player by satisfying the predetermined condition by the game ball fired toward the game board executing the pass / fail judgment means [FIG. S313] and probability setting means [60, 61] having plural kinds of winning probabilities determined to be won by the success / failure judging means and which can be set among the plural types of winning probabilities, and the progress of the game By the operation suggestion means [FIG. 34, S 654, FIG. 35, S 661] suggesting the operation of the operation means during the predetermined game effect to be executed accordingly, and the operation means is operated according to the indication of the operation means, Yes for players It provided such information specific effect display section for displaying the specific effect of imparting [Fig 34, S656, FIG. 35, S665] and, the. During the effective period in which the operation of the operation means is effective, the operation portion effect control means is capable of producing the operation means in the predetermined operation portion effect mode and according to the setting contents of the probability setting means, the predetermined operation portion effect It is comprised so that the probability which performs the operation part presentation in an aspect may differ.

  Furthermore, the pachinko machine 1 is a notice effect that suggests that the specific effect may be the result of the pass / fail judgment of the pass / fail judgment means or the possibility of winning of the pass / fail judgment.

According to this, according to the setting contents of the probability setting means, the probability of performing the operation part effect in the predetermined operation part effect mode in the operation means is different, so that the player can make the operation portion effect in the operation means Attention can be given and it is possible to give the pleasure of estimating the setting content depending on whether or not the operation unit effect is performed in a predetermined operation unit effect mode.
For example, as shown in FIG. 36, if the selection rate at which the operation means does not vibrate is 0% and the selection rate at which the operation means vibrates is 5%, the player sets the probability setting “set value 3” or “set It can be inferred that the value is 4 ". If the selection rate at which the operation means does not vibrate is 2% and the selection rate at which the operation means vibrates is 3%, the player estimates that the probability setting is "set value 1" or "set value 3". Can. If the selection rate at which the operation means does not vibrate is 1% and the selection rate at which the operation means vibrates is 4%, the player estimates that the probability setting is "set value 2" or "set value 4". Can. As described above, it is possible to estimate each set value independently as well as to estimate in group units such as an odd group and an even group of set values. In addition, the presence or absence of the vibration of the production button 15, the contents of the production (preliminary presentation effect) displayed on the production symbol display device 21 by operating the production button 15, and the result of the subsequent success / failure determination etc. It is possible to give fun to guess the setting contents of the probability setting of the winning probability of.

Fourth Embodiment
Next, a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment, the operation means according to the setting value of the probability setting in the big hit effect (specific effect) to announce whether or not to shift to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game during the big hit game. The probability of whether to perform an effect emphasizing the symbol is changed, and the player is made to guess the probability setting. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment, and the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment will be described below focusing on the differences. In the drawings, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 38 shows “big hit effect determination processing 2” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. The “big hit effect determination process 2” is a process of starting a big hit effect by receiving a big hit game start command from the main control device 40, and is a process using an operation means to start the big hit effect? It is processing to determine whether or not.
First, the sub integrated control device 42 determines whether or not the big hit game start command (see FIG. 11, S 349) from the main control device 40 has been received (S 750). If the jackpot game start command has not been received (S750: no), the processing is ended and the processing returns to the main routine of the sub integrated control device 42.

  If the big hit game start command is received in the process of S750 (S750: yes), in the process of S751, a distribution random number is extracted as an index of whether or not to execute the big hit effect using the operation means. Subsequently, a jackpot effect pattern is determined according to the extracted distribution random number (S752).

  In the process of S752, when determining the jackpot effect pattern, as the effect pattern, it is decided that the jackpot effect C indicates that there is a possibility to shift to the probability change gaming state after the end of the jackpot game, and the transition to the probability change gaming state There is a "big hit effect D" indicating that it has been done. Then, it is determined which of the “big hit effect C” and the “big hit effect D” is to be performed. Furthermore, in the jackpot effect, it is determined whether or not to use the operation means.

Next, it is determined whether the effect pattern is a jackpot effect using the operation means (S753). If it is affirmation determination (S753: yes), the effective period of an operation means will be set in the process of S754. For example, the effective period is set during the fourth round of the big hit game. Since the pachinko machine is selected as a big hit game, either 5R normal big hit game, 8R positive variation big hit game, or 10R positive hit big game, whether to shift to the high probability game state after the end of the big hit game in the fourth round The player is expected to have a greater sense of expectation by producing an advance notice.
Subsequently, in the effect, it is determined whether or not the effect button 15 is vibrated (S755). In this case, the determination as to whether or not to activate the vibration device 527 is selected in accordance with the set value set in the probability setting and the type of "big hit effect C" or "big hit effect D".

FIG. 41 shows the relationship between the setting value of the probability setting when “big hit effect C” is selected and the selection ratio of whether to vibrate the effect button 15 (operation means). For example, when transitioning to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the big hit game, even if the probability setting is any of "setting value 1" to "setting value 4", the selection ratio to not vibrate the operation unit is 1%, the operation unit The selectivity for oscillating can be set to 9%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 1% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 4%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selection rate for vibrating the operation means to 3%, to 2% where the operation means is not vibrated.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 1% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 4%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is "set value 4", it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.

For example, if the game does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit game is over (normal gaming state), the selection rate not to vibrate the operating means is 15% whether the probability setting is any of "set value 1" to "set value 4". In addition, the selectivity for vibrating the operation means can be set to 5%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 10% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 0%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 10% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 0%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selection rate at which the operation means is not vibrated to 12% and the selection rate at which the operation means is vibrated to 3%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 3% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 2%.

FIG. 42 shows the relationship between the setting value of probability setting when “big hit effect D” is selected and the selection rate of whether to vibrate the effect button 15 (operation means). For example, when transitioning to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the big hit game, even if the probability setting is any of "setting value 1" to "setting value 4", the selection ratio to not vibrate the operation unit is 1%, the operation unit The selectivity for oscillating can be set to 9%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 9% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 1%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 10%.
Moreover, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 6% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 4%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 5% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 10%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is "set value 4", it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 10%.

For example, if the game does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit game ends (normal gaming state), the selection rate not to vibrate the operating means is 5% regardless of the probability setting being any of "set value 1" to "set value 4". In addition, the selectivity for vibrating the operation means can be set to 5%.
In addition, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 2”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 5% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 0%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 3” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.
Moreover, if the probability setting is “set value 1” or “set value 3”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 3% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 2%.
Further, if the probability setting is “set value 2” or “set value 4”, it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for the second operating means to 5%.
Furthermore, if the probability setting is "set value 4", it is possible to set the selectivity for not vibrating the operating means to 0% and the selectivity for vibrating the operating means to 5%.

  As shown in FIG. 38, it is determined whether or not the effect button 15 is vibrated within the effective period in the subsequent processing of S756. If the determination is affirmative (S756: yes), “1” is set to the vibration flag serving as an index for vibrating the vibrating device 527 in the process of S757.

  Then, if negative determination is made in the process of S753 (S753: no), or negative determination is made in the process of S756 (S756: no), or after the process of S757 ends, effect display is started. Processing is performed (S758). Then return. By the process of S758, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and under the control of the effect symbol control device 43, the jackpot effect is started in the effect symbol display device 21.

  FIG. 39 shows “playing state notification process 2” executed by the sub integrated control device 42. In this process, first, it is determined whether or not a jackpot effect is being displayed (S850). If the effect is not displayed (S850: no), the process returns. If the effect is being displayed (S850: yes), it is determined in the process of S851 whether or not it is within the effective period of the effect button 15 (see FIG. 38, S754). If it is not a valid period (S851: no), it returns. If it is a valid period (S851: yes), it is determined in the process of S852 whether or not the vibration flag (see FIG. 38, S757) is "1".

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S852 (S852: no), it is determined whether or not an operation suggestion to urge the operation of the effect button 15 is being displayed in the process of S853. If the determination is negative (S853: no), processing is performed to display an operation suggestion that prompts operation of the effect button 15 in the processing of S854. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and under the control of the effect symbol control device 43, in the effect symbol display device 21, an operation suggestion to urge the operation of the effect button 15 is started.

  In the case of an affirmative determination (S853: yes) in the process of S853, or after the process of S854, it is determined whether the effect button 15 is operated in the process of S855. If it is affirmation determination (S855: yes), in the processing of S856, the game state display processing of “big hit effect C” indicating that there is a possibility of shifting to the probability change gaming state after the big hit game end, or shift to the probability change gaming state A game state display process of "big hit effect D" indicating that the game is to be performed is performed. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 controls the effect symbol display device 21 to start displaying the game state of "big hit effect C" or "big hit effect D". Ru.

  Subsequently, end processing of the operation suggestion display of the operation means is performed (S857). Then return. By the processing of S857, a command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and the control of the rendering symbol control device 43 ends the display of the operation suggestion of the operating means in the rendering symbol display device 21. In addition, it is desirable that display of the start of the game state display of S 856 and the end of the operation suggestion of S 857 be switched at substantially the same time in the effect symbol display device 21.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S855 (S855: no), it is determined in the process of S858 whether or not the effective period of the effect button 15 has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S858: no), the process returns.
If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S858 (S858: yes), the process of S856 and the process of S857 are performed. Then return. That is, the game state display is performed even if the player does not operate the effect button 15 as suggested.

  If it is affirmation determination (S852: yes) in the process of said S852, as shown in FIG. 40, it will be determined whether the operation suggestion which urges operation of the production button 15 is being displayed in the process of S860. If the determination is negative (S860: no), processing is performed to display an operation suggestion that prompts operation of the effect button 15 in the processing of S861. In the case of an affirmative determination (S860: yes) in the process of S860, or after the process of S861, the process of S862 determines whether the vibration device 527 for vibrating the effect button 15 is in operation. If the determination is negative (S862: no), the vibration device 527 is operated to vibrate the effect button 15 in the process of S863.

  In the case of a positive determination (S862: yes) in the process of S862, or after the process of S863, the process of S864 determines whether the effect button 15 has been operated. If it is affirmation determination (S864: yes), in the game state display process of S865, the game state display process of "big hit effect C" indicating that there is a possibility of shifting to the probability change game state after the big hit game end A game state display process of "big hit effect D" indicating transition to the state is performed. By this processing, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 controls the effect symbol display device 21 to start displaying the game state of "big hit effect C" or "big hit effect D". Ru.

  Subsequently, operation termination processing of the vibration device 527 is performed (S866). Next, the vibration flag is reset to "0" (S867), and the operation suggestion display termination processing of the effect button 15 is performed (S868). Then return. By the process of S868, the command is transmitted to the rendering symbol control device 43, and the control of the rendering symbol control device 43 ends the display of the operation suggestion of the rendering button 15 in the rendering symbol display device 21. In addition, it is desirable that display of the start of the game state display at S865 and the end of the operation suggestion at S868 be switched at substantially the same time in the effect symbol display device 21.

If a negative determination is made in the process of S864 (S864: no), it is determined whether the effective period of the effect button 15 has elapsed in the process of S869. If the determination is negative (S869: no), the process returns.
If a positive determination is made in the process of S869 (S869: yes), the processes of S865 to S868 are performed. Then return. That is, the game state display is performed even if the player does not operate the operation means as suggested.
In the present embodiment, the jackpot effect, the operation suggestion of the effect button 15, the "big hit effect C" and the "big hit effect D" display modes to be executed by the effect symbol display device 21 are shown in FIG. (F) and as shown in FIGS. 28 (a) to 28 (f).

According to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, in the jackpot effect indicating whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state, according to the probability setting of the winning probability that will be the jackpot, according to the predetermined operation unit effect mode in the operation means Since the probability of performing the operation part effect is different, the player is made to pay attention to the operation part effect in the operation means, and the setting contents are estimated depending on whether or not the operation portion effect is performed in a predetermined operation portion effect mode. I can give you some fun.
For example, as shown in FIG. 41, if the selection rate at which the operation means does not vibrate is 0% and the selection rate at which the operation means vibrates is 5%, the player sets the probability setting “set value 3” or “set It can be inferred that the value is 4 ". If the selection rate at which the operation means does not vibrate is 2% and the selection rate at which the operation means vibrates is 3%, the player estimates that the probability setting is "set value 1" or "set value 3". Can. If the selection rate at which the operation means does not vibrate is 1% and the selection rate at which the operation means vibrates is 4%, the player estimates that the probability setting is "set value 2" or "set value 4". Can. As described above, it is possible to estimate each set value independently as well as to estimate in group units such as an odd group and an even group of set values. In addition, the presence or absence of the vibration of the production button 15, the contents of the production (big hit production) displayed on the production symbol display device 21 by operating the production button 15, and the game state after the big hit game are comprehensively judged. It is possible to give enjoyment to infer the setting contents of the probability setting of the jackpot winning probability.

  The pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the probability change port for shifting to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game is not provided in the big winning opening by entering the ball during the big hit game. However, it is possible to provide a definite change port and perform an effect suggesting the operation of the operation means during the big hit effect, and to notify whether it is easy to enter the positive change port when the operation means is operated.

In the pachinko machines of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the setting content of the jackpot probability setting setting is suggested depending on whether or not the operation means vibrates, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the setting contents of the probability setting may be inferred by the difference in the display mode of the symbols indicating the operation means displayed on the effect symbol display device in order to operate the operation means. For example, in accordance with the operation suggestion A 702 in FIG. 20 and the operation suggestion C 711 in FIG. 27, the operation suggestion G 730 shown in FIG. 43 or the operation suggestion H 731 shown in FIG. 44 is displayed. The operation suggestion G 730 shown in FIG. 43 corresponds to the case where the effect button 15 does not vibrate. The operation suggestion H 731 shown in FIG. 44 corresponds to the case where the effect button 15 vibrates.
According to the configuration described above, the probability that the operation suggestion G 730 or the operation suggestion H 731 is displayed on the effect symbol display device differs according to the setting contents of the big hit probability setting, so the symbol indicating which operation means is displayed to the player It is possible to give attention to what is done and to give pleasure in estimating the setting contents of the winning probability by the symbol indicating the displayed operation means.
By the effect (operation suggestion A702, operation suggestion C711, operation suggestion G730, operation suggestion H731) suggesting the operation of the operation means displayed on the production symbol display device, the expectation of becoming a big hit or high probability gaming state after the big hit game is over There is also a configuration that suggests the degree of expectation to shift to

  In the pachinko machine of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, when the operation of the effect button 15 is urged, the effect button 15 is vibrated as an operation portion effect mode of the operation portion effect that emphasizes the effect button 15 However, it is not limited to this. For example, when urging the operation of the effect button 15, the effect button 15 may be vibrated and the effect button may be made to emit light. Alternatively, the effect button 15 may simply be made to emit light. The effect button 15 may be operated to protrude to the front side of the pachinko machine.

Furthermore, in the pachinko machine of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, as an operation section effect mode of the operation section effect of emphasizing the effect button 15, the operation suggestion display for prompting the operation of the effect button 15 is performed. When the effect button 15 is operated by the player, the effect button 15 may be vibrated. In this case, for example, when the effect button 15 does not vibrate, the operation suggestion G 730 may be displayed on the effect symbol display device 21, and when the effect button 15 vibrates, the operation suggestion H 731 may be displayed. When the effect button 15 vibrates, the operation indication G 730 may be displayed on the effect symbol display device 21. Thus, when the operation suggestion G 730 is displayed, the set value can not be estimated without operating the effect button 15, but when the operation suggestion H 731 is displayed, the setting value is estimated in advance. be able to.
Furthermore, when the effect button 15 is operated by the player within the effective period of the operation, the effect button 15 may be vibrated and the effect button may be made to emit light. Alternatively, the effect button 15 may simply be made to emit light. The effect button 15 may be operated to protrude to the front side of the pachinko machine.
Further, the configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the setting value of the probability setting is estimated based on the probability that the operation means is vibrated or not vibrated. For example, plural types of vibration patterns for vibrating the operation means are provided, and the probability setting is performed It may be configured to infer the set value. The pachinko machine of the second embodiment and the fourth embodiment does not operate the operation means, and does not notify the possibility of becoming a definite change or a definite change after the end of the big hit game when the effective period has elapsed. Good.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
