Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (h), according to the 32nd fluctuation table 114h, when the fluctuation pattern random number is 0 to 89, the fluctuation pattern number “A6H” is determined, and the fluctuation pattern random number is 90 to When it is 249, a variation pattern number "A7H" is determined.
Further, as shown in FIG. 10I, according to the thirty-third variation table 114i, when the variation pattern random number is 0 to 244, the variation pattern number “B0H” is determined, and the variation pattern random number is 245 to If it is 249, a fluctuation pattern number "B1H" is determined.
Similarly, another fluctuation pattern table 114 is configured to determine a predetermined fluctuation pattern number corresponding to the fluctuation pattern random number (see FIG. 10).

  In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the jackpot lottery as described above is performed at the start of fluctuation (that is, at the start of fluctuation display of special symbols described later (at the start of fluctuation effect)) When the game is played, the jackpot lottery result, the gaming state at the time of the lottery, the type of the acquired random number (first special figure random number, second special figure random number) or the number of reservations (first special figure reservation number, the first 2) The fluctuation mode number and the fluctuation pattern number are determined in accordance with the number of special figure reservations). As described above, the variation mode number and the variation pattern number are used to determine the variation representation pattern, and the variation mode number and the variation pattern number indicate the variation representation mode and the variation time (the variation display of the special symbol The fluctuation time is to be defined. Here, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the fluctuation effect is divided into a first half and a second half. And the mode and fluctuation time of the first half part of fluctuation production are decided by fluctuation mode number, the form and fluctuation time of the second half part of fluctuation production are decided by fluctuation pattern number.

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the first special figure random number is stored in the normal gaming state or the low probability time short gaming state, the first special figure random number before the start of the fluctuation based on the first special figure random number (1) If various determinations regarding the lottery of the big hit are performed for the special figure random number, and if the second special figure random number is stored during the high probability non-time game state, before the start of fluctuation based on the second special figure random number (2) A predetermination process of performing various determinations on a jackpot lottery for special figure random numbers is executed. Then, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the group type, the fluctuation mode number and the fluctuation pattern number are determined at the start of fluctuation, and also in the above-mentioned predetermination processing, based on the reach group determination random number determination table 112 described above. The group type is determined, and further, a variation mode number and a variation pattern number described later are determined.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the above-described reach group determination random number determination table 112 is such that the same variation mode number and variation pattern number are determined at any time of the preliminary determination processing and the variation start time. The reach mode determination random number determination table 113 and the fluctuation pattern lottery table 114 are set.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the first special figure random number is stored in the normal gaming state or the low probability time minor gaming state, or the second special figure random number is stored in the high probability non-short gaming state Then, the above-mentioned prior determination processing is executed, but it is not limited to this, and the second special figure random number is stored during the normal gaming state or the low probability time-short gaming state, or Also when the first special figure random number is stored during the high probability non-short game state, the same prior determination processing may be executed to make various determinations regarding the jackpot lottery before the start of the change.

Next, determination of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation effect (the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the special symbol) and the stop display time of the special symbol, the control of the special game, the setting of the gaming state, and the like will be described.
The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is a table for performing the above-described various processes, such as a fluctuation time determination table 115, a special drawing stop display time determination table 116, a special electric combination product operation table 117, and a gaming state setting table 118. Etc.

The fluctuation time determination table 115 is for determining the fluctuation time of the fluctuation effect (that is, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the special symbol).
The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment uses the fluctuation time determination table 115 as a first fluctuation time determination table in which the fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as the first half fluctuation time) of the first half of the fluctuation effect corresponding to each fluctuation mode number is determined. The second variation time determination table 115b is provided with a second variation time determination table 115b in which the second half of the variation effect corresponding to each variation pattern number (hereinafter, referred to as the second half variation time) is defined (FIGS. b) see).

Then, when the variation mode number is determined, the corresponding first half variation time is determined based on the determined variation mode number and the first variation time determination table 115a. Also, when the variation pattern number is determined, the corresponding second half variation time is determined based on the determined variation pattern number and the second variation time determination table 115b. The total value of the first-half fluctuation time and the second-half fluctuation time thus determined corresponds to the fluctuation time of the entire fluctuation effect (the fluctuation time of the entire fluctuation display of the special symbol) for reporting the result of the jackpot lottery.
For example, when the determined fluctuation mode number is "03H" and the fluctuation pattern number is "07H", the first half fluctuation time of "60 seconds" is determined corresponding to the fluctuation mode number "03H", and fluctuation is performed. The latter half fluctuation time of "60 seconds" is determined corresponding to the pattern number "07H". And these total value "120 seconds (= 60 seconds + 60 seconds)" becomes the fluctuation time of the whole fluctuation production (the whole fluctuation display of a special symbol).

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the first half fluctuation time of “0 seconds” is determined for the fluctuation mode numbers of “00H” and “B0H”, and when this fluctuation mode number is determined, The first half of the variable performance is not executed, and only the second half of the variable performance is executed based on the determined fluctuation pattern number.

  In addition, the first half fluctuation time of "500 seconds" is defined in the fluctuation mode numbers of "04H", "A4H" and "B4H". When this variation mode number is determined, variation representation (variation display of a special symbol) is performed over a long time (500 seconds) as compared with the case where other variation mode numbers are determined. Whether any of the variation mode numbers of "04H", "A4H" and "B4H" is determined is the jackpot winning by the jackpot lottery based on the second special view random number in the normal gaming state or the low probability time short gaming state If the small win or loss is determined, that is, during the normal gaming state or the low probability time short gaming state, the launch of the gaming ball to the second gaming area 12b is performed and the second starting winning opening 16 is played It is a case where a ball has entered the ball (see FIGS. 7 to 9). As mentioned above, during these gaming states, it is instructed to launch the game ball to the first game area 12a, and if the game ball is launched to the first game area 12a according to this instruction, the second start winning game is performed. Since the game ball does not enter the mouth 16, the fluctuation mode numbers of "04H", "A4H" and "B4H" are never determined.

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, when the fluctuation mode number and the fluctuation pattern number are determined, the fluctuation mode command corresponding to the determined fluctuation mode number and the determined fluctuation pattern The variation pattern command corresponding to the number is generated and transmitted to the sub control board 300. Then, in the sub control board 300, the aspect of the fluctuation effect is determined based on the received fluctuation mode command and fluctuation pattern command. Specifically, the aspect of the first half of the fluctuation effect is determined based on the fluctuation mode command, and the aspect of the second half of the fluctuation effect is determined based on the fluctuation pattern command.
In addition, about the aspect of the fluctuation production, the aspect of the first half of the fluctuation production is determined based on the fluctuation mode command, and the aspect of the second half of the fluctuation performance is not determined based on the fluctuation pattern command The aspect of the first half of the variable performance may be determined on the basis of the variation performance, and the aspect of the second half of the fluctuation performance may be determined based on the variation mode command.
In addition, the fluctuation effect may be divided into more parts instead of being divided into the first half and the second half, and the mode of each part may be determined based on the fluctuation mode command and the fluctuation pattern command. .
In addition, the aspect of the fluctuation presentation may be determined based on not only the fluctuation mode command and the fluctuation pattern command but also other commands. Alternatively, it may be determined based on either the fluctuation mode command or the fluctuation pattern command.

  Further, based on the fluctuation time determined as described above, the fluctuation display is performed in the effect display device 21 and the special symbol display device (the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31) is special The variable display of the symbol is performed. Specifically, when the start winning opening on which the game ball enters is the first start winning opening 15, the first special symbol display device 30 blinks for the determined fluctuation time, and the game ball enters. In the case where the start-up winning opening which is shot is the second start-up winning opening 16, the second special symbol display device 31 is displayed in a blinking manner during the determined fluctuation time. Then, after the fluctuation time has elapsed, the determined special symbol is stopped and displayed.

Here, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the special game is not executed, and the first special symbol display device 30 and the second special symbol display device 31 do not perform the variation display of the special symbol. In this case, it is possible to draw a jackpot based on the first special figure random number and the second special figure random number.
In addition, when the variation display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display device 30 is being performed and the variation display of the special symbol by the second special symbol display device 31 is not performed, based on the second special figure random number If the lottery of the jackpot is possible, and the variation display of the special symbol by the second special symbol display device 31, and the variation display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display device 30 is not performed, the first It is possible to draw a jackpot based on the special figure random number.
That is, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the variation display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display device 30 and the variation display of the special symbol by the second special symbol display device 31 are simultaneously performed. And, when the variation display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display device 30 is finished, if the first special figure random number is stored, the variation display of the next special symbol is started by the first special symbol display device 30 When the second special symbol display device 31 finishes the variation display of the special symbol, if the second special figure random number is stored, the next special symbol variation display is started by the second special symbol display device 31 Be done.

Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the variation display is performed when the jackpot lottery is newly performed based on the second special figure random number while the variation display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display device 30 is performed. When the special symbol inside is a big hit symbol (X1, X2 or X3) (that is, when the big win is won by the big win lottery that becomes the trigger of the variable display regarding the running variable display), As a result of the newly performed jackpot lottery, it is not possible to obtain a jackpot or a small jackpot, and the result of the lottery is set to be forced to be a loss. In addition, during the variable display of the special symbol by the second special symbol display device 31, when the lottery of the jackpot is newly performed based on the first special figure random number, the special symbol in the variable display is a big hit symbol (X1, When it is X2 or X3), it is not possible to obtain a jackpot win as a result of the lottery of the newly performed jackpot, and the result of the lottery is set so as to be forced to lose.
Therefore, for example, when the jackpot is won based on the second special figure random number, and the special symbol variation display based on the jackpot is performed in the second special symbol display device 31, the first special figure is newly added. When a jackpot lottery is performed based on random numbers, the result of the lottery is a loss. Also, when the jackpot is won on the basis of the first special figure random number, and the variation display of the special symbol based on the winning of the big jack is performed in the first special symbol display device 30, the second special figure random number is newly added. When the jackpot lottery is performed based on the result of the lottery is a loss.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display device 30, the small hit symbol (Y1 or Y2) in the second special symbol display device 31 is being changed and displayed. If there is, this small hit symbol is forcibly changed (rewritten) to a lost symbol (Z1 or Z2), and this lost symbol is forcibly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in either one of the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31, if the lost symbol is being displayed in a variable display in the other. The fluctuation display of this lost symbol is not stopped, and the fluctuation display is continuously performed. Also, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31, even if the big hit symbol or lost symbol is being displayed in a variable display in the first special symbol display device 30, this big hit symbol or lost symbol The variable display of the symbols is not stopped, and the variable display is continuously performed. Also, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed on either one of the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31, this is also the case when the lost symbol is being displayed in a variable display on the other. The variable display of the lost symbol is not stopped, and the variable display is continuously performed.

The special figure stop display time determination table 116 is the time to stop and display the special symbol (big hit symbol, small hit symbol, lost symbol) after the fluctuation display of the special symbol is stopped Special symbol stop display time (so-called special symbol) The decision time of
In this special view stop display time determination table 116, as shown in FIG. 12, the special view stop display time is determined for each type of special symbol. Then, when the special symbol is determined by the above-described jackpot lottery, the special symbol stop display time corresponding to the determined special symbol type is determined with reference to the special symbol stop display time determination table 116.

  As shown in FIG. 12, according to the special figure stop display time determination table 116, when the jackpot symbol X1, X2 or X3 is determined, the special view stop display time of "0.5 seconds" is determined. Further, when the small hitting symbol Y1 or Y2 is determined, the special figure stop display time of "0.5 seconds" is determined. Further, when the lost symbol Z1 or Z2 is determined, the special figure stop display time of "0.6 seconds" is determined.

  And, in the pachinko machine P which relates to this form, after the fluctuation indication (the fluctuation production) of the special symbol is started, when the above-mentioned fluctuation time passes, the fluctuation indication of this special symbol stops (the fluctuation production ends) . Thereafter, when the special view stop display time determined as described above has elapsed, the special game is started when the jackpot is won in the above-mentioned jackpot lottery, and the small game is played when the small hit is won. A hit game is started, and if it is a loss, it becomes possible to start the next variable display (variation effect) of the special symbol.

  In addition, special figure stop indication time may be decided for every kind of big hit symbol, kind of small hit symbol, kind of lost symbol, not only the kind of special symbol but also the decided fluctuation mode number and fluctuation pattern number It may be determined for each.

  The special electric bonus game operation table 117 is for controlling a special game to be executed when a jackpot is won, and a small hit game to be executed when a small hit is won, and the special game and the small hit It is referred to in order to operate big winning a prize mouth solenoid 18c while the game is under execution. In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) to 13 (c), the first actuation table 117a is referred to when the jackpot symbol X1 is determined as the special motorized prize product actuation table 117.

Although it is set so that the probability that the big special game of will be performed may not change, it is not limited to this. For example, when the jackpot is won by the second special figure random number, it is set so that the special game having a large expected value of the award ball that can be acquired is more easily executed than when the first prize is selected. You may

The gaming state setting table 118 is for setting the gaming state after the end of the special game when the special game is executed. In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the gaming state after the end of the special game is determined by the type of jackpot symbol determined by the jackpot lottery.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the first state setting table 118a referred to when the jackpot symbol X1 is determined as the gaming state setting table 118, and the jackpot symbol X2 A second state setting table 118b which is referred to when determined and a third state setting table 118c which is referred to when the jackpot symbol X3 is determined are provided.

As shown in FIG. 14 (a), according to the first state setting table 118a, when the jackpot symbol X1 is determined, the gaming state after the end of the special game is set to the low probability gaming state, and the non-short time The game state is set. That is, the normal gaming state is set.
Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, according to the second state setting table 118b, when the jackpot symbol X2 is determined, the gaming state after the end of the special game is set to the low probability gaming state, It is set to the time saving game state. That is, the low probability time short game state is set.
Further, the number of continuations of the short game state at this time (hereinafter, referred to as the number of time reductions) is set to 30 times. That is, after the end of the special game, the low probability time short game state continues until the result of the jackpot lottery is derived 30 times. Then, when the jackpot is won during the continuation of the low probability time short game state, the gaming state according to the jackpot symbol is set again. In addition, after the end of the special game low probability time short game state is set, without winning the jackpot during the continuation of this game state, if all the results of the 30 lottery become other than the jackpot, the gaming state becomes the normal gaming state It will be changed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14C, according to the third state setting table 118c, when the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, the gaming state after the end of the special game is set to the high probability gaming state, It is set to the non-time saving game state. That is, the high probability non-short game state is set.
Further, the number of continuations of the high probability gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the high probability number) is set to 10000 times. That is, after the end of the special game, the high probability non-short game state continues until the result of the jackpot lottery is derived 10000 times.
As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the winning probability of the jackpot in the high probability gaming state is approximately 1/30. Time saving game state will continue.

Next, the processing relating to the common drawing game will be described.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the game ball launched by the launcher (not shown) and flowing down the gaming area 12 passes the gate 20, the movable piece 15d of the special first start winning opening 15b is activated. A lottery of normal symbols is performed to determine whether or not the movable piece 15d is to be opened. And, if it becomes a hit by lottery of this normal symbol, the movable piece 15d opens for a predetermined time, and the special first start winning opening 15b is opened, so that the game ball enters the special first starting winning opening 15b. Sphere becomes easy.
The lottery of this normal symbol is based on the hit determination random number determination table 119 stored in the main ROM 102 for determining the random number and the hit determination random number obtained when the game ball passes through the gate 20. Be done.

Moreover, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the above-described drawing of the normal symbol is performed, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol (the fluctuation time of the normal symbol) is determined and the fluctuation display of the ordinary symbol described later is stopped. After that, a common drawing stop display time, which is a time for stopping and displaying an ordinary symbol (performing symbol, lost symbol) determined by the above-mentioned ordinary symbol lottery, is determined.
The determination of the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol and the common drawing stop display time is performed based on the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table 120 and the common drawing stop display time determination table 121 stored in the main ROM 102.

Then, when the gaming ball passes through the gate 20, the above-described hit determination random number is acquired, and the random number value is stored in the common drawing reservation storage area of the main RAM 103 with an upper limit of four. Specifically, this common view reservation storage area is configured of a total of four storage units from the first storage unit to the fourth storage unit, and is stored from the first storage unit in the order of passage of the gate 20. It has become. In addition, when the determination random number is already stored in some of the storage units, the determination random number is stored in the storage unit having the smallest number among the free storage units. Then, when the four hit determination random numbers have already been stored in the common drawing reservation storage area, even if the gaming ball passes the gate 20, the hit determination random numbers pertaining to this passage are not stored in the common drawing reservation storage area .
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, a hardware random number built in the main control board 100 is used as the hit determination random number. The hit determination random number is updated according to a predetermined rule, and the random number sequence is automatically changed each time the random number sequence makes a round, and the start value is changed each time the system is reset.
Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the number of hit determination random numbers stored in the common drawing reservation storage area (hereinafter referred to as the common drawing reservation number) is a common drawing reservation number counter (not shown in particular). It is stored in the

The hit determination random number determination table 119 is used to determine whether or not a hit is made by drawing a normal symbol, and as shown in FIGS. 15 (a) to 15 (c), the non-short time gaming state (ie, normal) A non-time short determination table 119a referred to in the gaming state or high probability non-short game state) and a time short determination table 119b referred to in the short time gaming state (that is, low probability time short game state) are provided.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the gaming ball passes the gate 20, one hit determination random number is acquired within the numerical range of 0 to 65535. Then, if the gaming state at the time of performing the lottery of the normal symbol is the non time saving game state, the non time saving determination table 119a is selected, and based on the acquired winning determination random number and the selected non time saving determination table 119a A lottery of symbols will be made Further, if the gaming state at the time of performing the lottery of the normal symbol is the short time gaming state, the lottery of the normal symbol is selected based on the time determination table 119b selected and the acquired winning determination random number and the selected time determination table 119b. Is done.

As shown in FIG. 15A, according to the non-time-decision determination table 119a, when the hit determination random number is 1, it is determined to be hit and when it is any other hit determination random numbers (0, 2 to 65535) It is determined to be a loss. Therefore, the probability of winning in the non-time-short decision table 119a is 1/65536.
As shown in FIG. 15 (b), according to the time reduction determination table 119b, it is determined to be a hit when the hit determination random number is 1 to 65000, and is any other hit determination random number (0, 6500 to 65535) In this case, it is determined that there is a loss. Therefore, the probability of winning in the first short time determination table 119b is 65000/65536, that is, about 99/100.
Therefore, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the probability of winning by the normal symbol lottery is set to be higher in the time saving game state than in the non time saving game state.
In addition, a hit symbol is determined when it becomes a hit by lottery of a normal symbol, and a lost symbol is determined when it becomes a loss.

The normal symbol variation pattern determination table 120 is for determining the variation pattern of the normal symbol, that is, the normal symbol variation pattern number to which the variation time of the normal symbol is associated. As described above, when the lottery of the ordinary symbol is performed by the game ball passing through the gate 20, the ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern number is determined based on the ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern determination table 120.
As shown in FIG. 16, according to the normal symbol variation pattern determination table 120, when the gaming state is the non-time-short gaming state, the variation pattern of the normal symbol of the variation time of 3 seconds is associated with the variation pattern of the normal symbol "C0H" A symbol variation pattern number is determined, and when the gaming state is a short time gaming state, a normal symbol variation pattern number "C1H" associated with a variation pattern of a normal symbol of variation time 1 second is determined.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, the same normal symbol variation pattern number (the variation pattern of the normal symbol) is always determined for each set gaming state, but this is the case. For example, different normal symbol variation pattern numbers are based on the number of common drawing reservations at the time of execution of lottery of normal symbols and a predetermined random number acquired when the gaming ball passes through the gate 20. It may be determined.

The common drawing stop display time determination table 121 is for determining the common drawing stop display time described above. As described above, when the lottery of the normal symbol is performed by the game ball passing through the gate 20, the normal symbol determined with reference to the common drawing stop display time determination table 121 (per symbol, lost symbol) The regular drawing stop display time corresponding to is determined.
As shown in FIG. 17, according to the common figure stop display time determination table 121, when the determined normal symbol is a hit symbol (ie, when it becomes a hit by a normal symbol lottery), 0.5 The regular drawing stop display time of the second is determined. In addition, when the determined normal symbol is a lost symbol (that is, when it becomes a loss due to a normal symbol lottery), a general drawing stop display time of 0.6 seconds is determined.
Note that the common drawing stop display time may be determined not only for the type of the normal symbol but also for each determined normal symbol variation pattern number.

Then, when the normal symbol fluctuation pattern number (normal symbol fluctuation pattern, normal symbol fluctuation time) and the common drawing stop display time are determined, the normal symbol is displayed during the fluctuation time corresponding to the determined normal symbol fluctuation pattern number The display device 32 (see FIG. 3) is displayed blinking. Then, when the winning symbol is determined by winning by a lottery of a normal symbol, the normal symbol display device 32 is turned on, and after the determined regular drawing stop display time has elapsed, the special first start winning opening 15b The opening and closing control of the movable piece 15d is performed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is determined by losing the normal symbol by lottery of the normal symbol, the normal symbol display device 32 is turned off, and after the determined regular drawing stop display time has elapsed, the next normal symbol is selected. The lottery of
In this specification, the blinking display of the normal symbol display device 32 is "variation of the ordinary symbol", the lighting or extinguishing of the normal symbol display device 32 is "stop indication of the ordinary symbol", "stop of the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol" , There is a case that "the fluctuation stop of the normal design" and the like.

In addition, the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is provided with the special first start winning opening opening control table 122 which is referred to control the operation of the movable piece 15d provided in the special first starting winning opening 15b. .
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, when the ordinary symbol display device 32 is turned on and the determined common drawing stop display time elapses, the content set in the special first start winning opening opening control table 122 is used. Thus, the open / close control of the movable piece 15d of the special first start winning opening 15b is performed.
Specifically, when the gaming state is the non-time-short gaming state, as shown in FIG. 18, the start winning opening solenoid 15c is 0.2 seconds (0.2 seconds) as shown in FIG. X1) Energized, and the movable piece 15d of the special first start winning opening 15b is opened for 0.2 seconds.
Also, if the gaming state is a short time gaming state, the start winning opening solenoid 15c is energized for 2.4 seconds (= 1.2 seconds x 2 times) after the normal drawing stop display time has elapsed, and the special first start is started The movable piece 15d of the winning opening 15b is opened for 2.4 seconds. The time (interval time) in which the movable piece 15d is closed after the first opening of the movable piece 15d is ended and the second opening of the movable piece 15d is started is set to 1.0 seconds. There is.

  As described above, conditions for opening and closing the special first start winning opening 15b are defined for the non-time saving gaming state and the time saving gaming state, respectively, and according to the contents of this condition, in the time saving gaming state Since the special first start winning opening 15b is easily maintained in the open state, the gaming ball is more likely to enter the special first starting winning opening 15b than in the non-time-short game mode.

(The playability of pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment)
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, the normal gaming state (the gaming state combining the low probability gaming state and the non-short playing state), the low probability time short gaming state (the low probability gaming state and the short time gaming state) The game state is set as either one of the game state) and the high probability non-short game state (a game state in which the high probability game state and the non-short game state are combined) is set, and the game proceeds.

  Here, at the time the player starts playing a game, the normal gaming state is often set. During the normal gaming state, as described above, it is instructed to launch the gaming ball toward the first gaming area 12a (so-called left strike), and as long as the gaming ball is launched accordingly, the gaming ball is There is a possibility of entering the first starting winning opening 15 (usually the first starting winning opening 15a or the special first starting winning opening 15b) only, and never entering the second starting winning opening 16. Then, a drawing of a jackpot is performed based on the entry of the game ball to the first start winning opening 15, and when a jackpot is won, a jackpot symbol X1, X2 or X3 is determined (see FIG. 6A). ). When the jackpot symbol X1 is determined, the gaming state after the end of the special game to be executed based on the determination is set to the normal gaming state, and when the jackpot symbol X2 is determined, the determination is made. If the gaming state after the end of the special game executed based on is set to the low probability time short game state, and the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, the game after the end of the special game executed based on the determination The state is set to the high probability non-short game state (see FIG. 14). That is, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, if the left hit according to the instruction during the normal gaming state, by winning the big hit, normal gaming state, low probability time short game state or high probability non time short game state It will shift to (see FIG. 19).

During the low probability time short game state, the winning probability of the big hit is not different from that during the normal game state, but the special first start winning opening 15b is more easily maintained in the open state than during the normal game state, and the special first Since it is easy for the game ball to enter the start winning opening 15b, it is possible to obtain a chance of winning a big hit while suppressing the decrease of the game ball accompanying the progress of the game than in the normal game state.
During the low probability time short game state, as described above, the launch of the game ball toward the first game area 12a is instructed as in the normal game state. Therefore, as long as the game ball is launched in accordance with this, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter the first start winning opening 15 only, and the game to the first start winning opening 15 is the same as in the normal gaming state. A jackpot lottery is performed based on the entry of a ball, and when a jackpot is won, a jackpot symbol X1, X2 or X3 is determined (see FIG. 6A). Therefore, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, if the left hit according to the instruction even during the low probability time short game state, by winning a big hit, normal gaming state, low probability time short game state or high probability non-time short It will shift to the gaming state (see FIG. 19).

During high probability non-short game state, the special first start winning opening 15b is maintained in open state difficulty level is not different from during normal gaming state, but the probability of winning a jackpot is higher than during normal gaming state There is. Further, during the high probability non-short game state, as described above, it is instructed to launch the game ball toward the second game area 12b (so-called right strike), and if the game ball is launched accordingly, the game A ball may enter the second start winning opening 16. In the jackpot lottery based on the entry of the game ball to the second start winning opening 16, the probability of winning a small hit is set high (see FIG. 5 (c) and (d)), the second start winning opening If the game ball enters the ball 16, the small hit is won with a probability of 1/2 and the small hit game is executed. Since the large winning opening 18 is opened during the small hitting game, if you hit the game ball toward the second game area 12b, the gaming ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 18 and the ball is opened A predetermined number of winning balls can be obtained based on the above.
That is, during the high probability non-short game state, by launching the game ball toward the second game area 12b, a small ball is executed by the winning of the small hit based on the game ball entering the second start winning opening 16 It is possible to aim for the jackpot winning based on the entry of the game ball to the second start winning opening 16 while acquiring the prize ball in the hit game, and the high probability non-short game state is the normal game It is a gaming state which is extremely advantageous for the player as compared with the state or the low probability time short playing state.

  In addition, the drawing of the jackpot is performed based on the entry of the game ball to the second starting winning opening 16, even when winning a jackpot, jackpot symbols X1, X2 or X3 are determined (see FIG. 6 (b)) ). Therefore, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, if the player is performing the right hit according to the instruction during the high probability non-short game state, by winning the big hit, normal gaming state, low probability time short game state or high probability non It will shift to the time saving game state (see FIG. 19).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the first gaming area 12a or the second gaming area 12a or the second as instructed to the player in each gaming state of the normal gaming state, the low probability time short game state and the high probability non time game state. Launching the gaming ball toward any of the gaming areas 12b enables transition to the normal gaming state, the low probability time short gaming state, or the high probability non-short time gaming state after the end of the special game based on the jackpot winning ing. And, luckily, when the transition to the high probability non-short play state continues after the end of the special game, in addition to the prize balls obtainable during the special game, the small hit game in the high probability non-short play state As it is possible to win and the jackpot winning probability is high, it will be possible to obtain many balls at a high speed.

By the way, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the probability of winning a small hit is set high in the big hit lottery based on the entry of the game ball to the second start winning opening 16 (FIG. 5 (c) (See (d)), during the normal gaming state or in the low probability time short gaming state, without following the instruction of the left strike to the player, launch the gaming ball toward the second gaming area 12b and play the game to the second start winning opening 16 A game may be played by a game method of entering a ball and acquiring a prize ball in a small hit game executed by a small hit.
However, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the game ball is entered into the second start winning opening 16 during the normal gaming state or the low probability time short gaming state, the result of the jackpot lottery is a big hit Whether winning, winning a small hit, or losing, the variation time of the special symbol is set to an extremely long time of about 600 seconds. Therefore, the special symbol is stopped and displayed only about six times per hour, resulting in extremely time-efficient gaming and it is extremely difficult to obtain many prize balls. This makes it possible to prevent the game from being performed as described above.

  In addition, during the normal gaming state or low probability time short game state, the launch of the game ball towards the first game area 12a and the launch of the game ball towards the second game area 12b are used in combination, the first start winning game There is also a possibility that a game may be played by a gaming method of aiming for a small winning by entering the gaming ball into the second start winning opening 16 while aiming to win a big hit by entering the gaming ball into the mouth 15.

  Here, when the jackpot is won by entering the game ball into the second start winning opening 16 during the normal gaming state or low probability time short game state, the variation display of the jackpot symbol (second special symbol display Also during the variable display in the device 31, the lottery of the jackpot based on the entry of the game ball to the first start winning opening 15 is performed one after another. However, since the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball to the second start winning opening 16, all the results of the jackpot lottery based on the entry of the game ball to the first start entry 15 will be lost . Then, although the player can not recognize that the jackpot has won the jackpot based on the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 16, the player can launch the game ball toward the first game area 12a, as described above. As described above, even if the game balls enter the first start winning opening 15, the result of the big hit drawing is all lost, so all the hit game balls are wasted, which is extremely disadvantageous for the player.

  In addition, when the small winning is won by entering the game ball into the second start winning opening 16 during the normal gaming state or low probability time short gaming state, the variation display of small hitting symbol (second Also during the variable display in the special symbol display device 31, the lottery of the jackpot based on the entry of the game ball to the first start winning opening 15 is performed one after another. However, unless the jackpot is won in the lottery, the variable display of the above-mentioned small hitting symbol is to be continued, and when the jackpot is won in the lottery, the small hitting symbol in the variable display is the lost symbol It is rewritten and forced to stop display. Therefore, even if a small hit is won during the low probability gaming state, the small hit game will not be executed as long as the gaming ball enters the first start winning opening 15 and the jackpot lottery is performed.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, there is little merit to launch the game ball toward the second game area 12b during the normal gaming state or the low probability time short gaming state, and the game by the gaming method as described above It is possible to suppress being done.

(Summary of the progress of the game in pachinko machine P)
Next, progress of the above-mentioned special figure game, regular game, special game, and small hitting game will be described using a flowchart.
First, the main processing of the main control board 100 will be described.
When power is supplied from the power supply board, a system reset occurs in the main CPU 101, and the main CPU 101 executes main processing shown in the flowchart of FIG.

In step 100, the main CPU 101 reads various programs from the main ROM 102 in response to power-on as initialization processing, initializes flags stored in the main RAM 103, and transmits them to the sub control board 300. The command is stored in the effect transmission data storage area provided in the main RAM 103 or the like. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 101.
In step 101, the main CPU 101 updates the special symbol random number initial value updating random number which is referred to when updating the special symbol random number. The special symbol random number initial value update random number is for determining the initial value of the special symbol random number. That is, the special symbol random number is updated with the special symbol random number initial value update random number at the time of starting the update as the initial value. Then, when one round of the random number range is performed, updating of the special symbol random number is continued with the initial value updating random number for special symbol random number at that time as the initial value. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 102.

  In step 102, the main CPU 101 updates a reach group determination random number, a reach mode determination random number, and a variation pattern random number, which are random numbers for determining a variation production pattern. Then, when the process of step 102 ends, thereafter, the processes of step 101 and step 102 are repeatedly executed until a predetermined interrupt process is performed.

Next, timer interrupt processing of the main control board 100 will be described.
The clock pulse generation circuit provided on the main control board 100 generates a clock pulse every predetermined cycle (4 milliseconds in the pachinko machine P according to this embodiment), as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Timer interrupt processing is executed.

At step 200, the main CPU 101 executes timer update processing for updating various timer counters. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, a subtraction timer is employed, and the timer counter is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process of the main control board 100 is executed, and the subtraction is stopped when it becomes 0 It has become.
At step 201, the main CPU 101 updates the special symbol random number. Specifically, the random number counter is updated by adding “1”, and when the result of the addition exceeds the maximum value of the random number range, the random number counter is returned to “0” and the random number counter rotates once. Updates the random number from the value of the initial value update random number for the special symbol random number at that time. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202.

In step 202, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not there is input to the gate detection sensor 20a, the normal first start winning opening detection sensor 15e, the special first start winning opening detection sensor 15f, and the second start winning opening detection sensor 16a. Then, based on this, the processing at the time of sensor detection which performs predetermined processing is executed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.
In step 203, the main CPU 101 executes special-figure related control processing for performing control relating to the special-figure game, the special game, and the small hit game. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.

At step 204, the main CPU 101 executes common drawing related control processing for performing control relating to common drawing games. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 205.
At step 205, the main CPU 101 executes an error-related process for performing control relating to the occurrence and cancellation of various errors. Specifically, when the main control board 100 receives a door opening command based on the opening of the front door 3 or a saucer full command based on the fullness of the tray 7, the main CPU 101 specifies a corresponding error. A command (for example, a door open designation command, a full tank designation command, etc.) is generated and stored (set) in the effect transmission data storage area. In addition, when the main control board 100 stops receiving the above-mentioned command, the main CPU 101 generates a corresponding error release specification command (for example, a door close specification command, a full tank release specification command, etc.) to transmit the effect. Store in the data storage area. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 206.

In step 206, detection signals from the general winning opening detection sensor 14a, the normal first starting winning opening detection sensor 15e, the special first starting winning opening detection sensor 15f, the second starting winning opening detection sensor 16a, and the special winning opening detection sensor 18a.

Then, when it is determined that the above-mentioned data do not relate to the jackpot symbol (that is, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 808. On the other hand, when it is determined that the above-mentioned data relates to the jackpot symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 807.

In step 807, the main CPU 101 rewrites data relating to the big hit symbol or small hit symbol stored in the second special view temporary storage area into data relating to the lost symbol. That is, when the variable display of the second special figure is started during the variable display of the first special figure in which the big hit design is determined, when the big hit design or the small hit design is determined as the second special figure In this case, the big hit symbol or small hit symbol is forcibly rewritten into the lost symbol.
In addition, after deciding the classification of the second special figure as mentioned above, when deciding the classification of the second special figure instead of forcibly rewriting the determined big hit symbol or small hit symbol into the lost symbol If it is determined in the first special symbol display device 30 whether or not the jackpot symbol determined as the first special drawing is variably displayed, it is determined that the jackpot symbol is variably displayed, the second special The lost symbol may be determined as the type of the figure.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 808.
At step 808, the main CPU 101 stores a symbol determination command indicating the type of the second special view stored in the second special view temporary storage area in the effect transmission data storage area. Specifically, the type of the second special figure (big hit symbol, small hit symbol, or lost symbol) determined in the above-described step 804, or when forced rewriting is performed in the above-described step 807 A lost design is stored. As a result, the information related to the type of the second special view is transmitted to the sub control board 300 at the start of the fluctuation effect. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 809.

At step 809, the main CPU 101 executes the fluctuation production pattern determination process of determining the fluctuation presentation pattern based on the reach group determination random number, the reach mode determination random number and the variation pattern random number stored in the processing area at step 802 described above. . Then, the process proceeds to the next step 810.
In step 810, the main CPU 101 sets variation display data for starting variation display of the second special figure on the second special symbol display device 31. Thereby, the second special symbol display device 31 starts blinking display. Here, the blinking display means that "-" blinks at a predetermined interval on each display device.
Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the second special figure random number is stored in the second reserve storage area, the second special figure retention display device 39 can recognize the second special figure retention number. Is to be displayed. Then, when the variable display of the second special drawing described above is performed based on the second special drawing random number, the second special drawing reserve number is decreased by one at the same time as the start of the variable display. [2] The display control of the special view hold display device 39 is performed.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 811.

At step 811, the main CPU 101 executes a time-savings updating process. Specifically, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the time-saving game flag for setting the gaming state to the time-saving game state is on. When it is determined that the time saving game flag is turned on, the time saving storage area provided in the main RAM 103 is updated. The remaining number of times of change until the short time gaming state ends is stored in the short time number memory area. Then, the remaining number of stored changes is decremented by "1". Also, when the remaining number of fluctuations becomes “0” due to the updating of the remaining number of fluctuations, processing for turning off the time-saving game flag is also executed. When it is determined that the time saving game flag is not turned on, the main CPU 101 performs no processing. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 812.
At step 812, the main CPU 101 executes high-probability-number update processing. Here, the main CPU 101 determines whether the high probability gaming flag for setting the gaming state to the high probability gaming state is on. When it is determined that the high probability game flag is turned on, the high probability number storage area provided in the main RAM 103 is updated. The remaining number of fluctuations until the high probability gaming state ends is stored in the high probability number storage area. Then, the remaining number of stored changes is decremented by "1". Further, when the remaining number of changes becomes “0” due to the updating of the remaining number of changes, processing for turning off the high probability gaming flag is also executed. When it is determined that the high probability game flag is not turned on, the main CPU 101 performs no processing. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 813.

In step 813, the main CPU 101 determines whether the first special drawing random number is stored in the storage unit of the first reserved storage area, that is, whether the first special drawing reservation number counter is “1” or more. judge. Then, when it is determined that the first special figure random number is not stored, the variation start process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special figure random number is stored, the process proceeds to the next step 814.
At step 814, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not variable display of the first special view is in progress. Then, when it is determined that the fluctuation display is being performed, the fluctuation start process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variable display is not being performed, the process proceeds to the next step 815.

At step 815, the main CPU 101 decrements the value of the first special view holding number counter by “1”, and executes the shift processing of the first holding storage area. Specifically, each random number stored in the first storage unit of the first reserved storage area is stored in a predetermined processing area provided in the main RAM 103, and the second storage unit of the first reserved storage area is stored. Each of the random numbers stored in the fourth storage unit is shifted to a storage unit with a smaller number. As a result, each random number stored in the first reserved storage area is used in a so-called first-in first-out (FIFO) process, which will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step 816.
In step 816, the main CPU 101 selects the jackpot random number determination table 110 corresponding to the current gaming state and the first special view random number (that is, the type of the start winning opening is the first starting winning opening 15), and Based on the jackpot random number stored in the processing area in step 815 described above, a jackpot determination process is executed to derive the result of the jackpot lottery. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 817.

At step 817, the main CPU 101 executes a first special figure determination process of determining the type of the first special figure. Specifically, when the result of the lottery in the above step 816 is a big hit, the first special symbol random number determination table 111a (see FIG. 6A) is selected, and the table and the above step 815 are selected. The jackpot symbol (i.e., X1, X2 or X3) is determined based on the special symbol random number stored in the processing area. Also, if the result of the lottery in the above-described step 815 is a loss, a lost symbol (Z1) is determined. Then, data corresponding to the determined first special figure is stored in the first special figure temporary storage area of the main RAM 103. Further, in the first special drawing determination process, the gaming state at the current time, that is, the gaming state at the time of determining the first special drawing is stored in the gaming state buffer. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 818.
In step 818, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the type of the first special view determined in step 817 described above is a jackpot symbol. Then, if it is determined that the jackpot symbol is not (that is, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 821. On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot symbol is determined, the process proceeds to the next step 819.

In step 819, the main CPU 101 determines whether the data stored in the second special view temporary storage area relates to the jackpot symbol. That is, when the main CPU 101 starts fluctuating display of the jackpot symbol determined as the first symbol, whether or not the jackpot symbol determined as the second special view is fluctuated and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31 Determine if Then, if it is determined that the above-mentioned data do not relate to the big hit symbol (ie, it is a small hit symbol or a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 821. On the other hand, when it is determined that the above data relates to the jackpot symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 820.
In step 820, the main CPU 101 rewrites the data relating to the jackpot symbol stored in the first special view temporary storage area into data relating to the lost symbol. That is, when the variable display of the first special figure is started during the variable display of the second special figure in which the big hit design is determined, if the large hit design is determined as the first special figure, this large hit The design is forcibly rewritten to the lost design.
In addition, after deciding the type of the first special figure, when deciding the type of the first special figure instead of forcibly rewriting the determined jackpot symbol into the lost symbol, the second special symbol display device 31 If it is determined that the jackpot symbol determined as the second special figure is displayed in a variable manner, and it is determined that the jackpot symbol is displayed in a variable manner, the lost symbol is always determined as the type of the first special drawing It may be done.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 821.

In step 821, the main CPU 101 stores a symbol determination command indicating the type of the first special view stored in the first special view temporary storage area in the effect transmission data storage area.
Specifically, the type of the first special figure (big hit symbol or lost symbol) determined in step 817 described above, or the lost symbol if forced rewriting is performed in step 820 described above It is memorized. As a result, the information related to the type of the first special view is transmitted to the sub control board 300 at the start of the fluctuation effect. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 822.
In step 822, the main CPU 101 executes the fluctuation production pattern determination process of determining the fluctuation presentation pattern based on the reach group determination random number, the reach mode determination random number and the variation pattern random number stored in the processing area in step 815 described above. . Then, the process proceeds to the next step 823.

Is to be displayed. And when the above-mentioned change display of the 1st symbol is performed based on the 1st special figure random number, it is shown that the number of 1st special figure reservations decreases by one simultaneously with the start of the change display. Display control of the special view reservation display device 38 is performed.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 824.

At step 824, the main CPU 101 executes a time saving number updating process. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 825.
At step 825, the main CPU 101 executes the high probability number of times update process. Then, the variation start process is ended.
In the variation start process of the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when both the first special figure random number and the second special figure random number are stored, the second special order is given priority over the first special figure random number. Although the figure random number is processed, it is not limited to this. For example, the first special figure random number may be processed with priority given to the second special figure random number, or may be processed in the order stored in the pending storage area.

To determine). That is, when the fluctuation presentation pattern determination process (the fluctuation presentation pattern determination process of step 809) based on the second special figure is performed, the determined fluctuation time becomes the fluctuation time of the second special figure, and the first When the fluctuation presentation pattern determination process (the fluctuation presentation pattern determination process of step 822) based on the special drawing is performed, the determined fluctuation time becomes the fluctuation time of the first special drawing. When the fluctuation time of the second special figure is determined, the fluctuation time is set in the second special figure fluctuation time timer counter, and when the fluctuation time of the first special figure is determined, the fluctuation time is determined.

In step 1000, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the first special figure is being variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 30. When it is determined that the variable display is not in progress, the process proceeds to step 1006. On the other hand, if it is determined that the variable display is being performed, the process proceeds to the next step 1001.
In step 1001, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the first special drawing set in the first special drawing fluctuation time timer counter in step 910 described above has elapsed. If it is determined that the time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step 1006. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1002.

At step 1011, the main CPU 101 sets the second special display stop display time determined at step 1010 described above in the second stop display time timer counter. Then, the fluctuation stop process is ended.

Next, the post-stop process of step 753 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At step 1100, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the first special view stop display time set in the first stop display time timer counter at step 1005 described above has elapsed. When it is determined that the first special view stop display time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step 1102. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special view stop display time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1101.
At step 1101, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the stop-displayed first special view is a big hit symbol. And when it determines with it being a jackpot symbol, it progresses to step 1104. On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot symbol is not (that is, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to the next step 1102.

At step 1102, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the second special view stop display time set in the second stop display time timer counter at step 1011 described above has elapsed. When it is determined that the second special view stop display time has not elapsed, the post-stop process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second special view stop display time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1103.
At step 1103, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the second special view stop-displayed is a big hit symbol. Then, when it is determined that the jackpot symbol is not (that is, it is a small hit symbol or a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 1112. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is a jackpot symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 1104.

In step 1104, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not there is a special symbol in the variable display, that is, whether or not the other special symbol different from the special symbol displayed in the stop state is in the variable display. Specifically, when the first special figure displayed stop is a big hit symbol, it is determined whether or not the second special figure is fluctuating display, and the second special figure displayed stop is a big hit If it is a symbol, it is determined whether or not the first special figure is being variably displayed. Then, when it is determined that there is no special symbol in the variable display, the process proceeds to step 1109. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a special symbol in the variable display, the process proceeds to the next step 1105.
At step 1105, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the special symbol in the variable display is a small hit symbol. And when it determines with it not being a small hitting design, it progresses to step 1108. On the other hand, if it is determined that the symbol is a small hit symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 1106. In addition, since the small hitting symbol is determined only based on the second special figure random number, it is determined that the small hitting symbol is only when the second special figure is in a variable display.

In step 1106, the main CPU 101 rewrites data relating to the small hitting symbol during variable display (that is, data relating to the small hitting symbol stored in the second special view temporary storage area) into data relating to the lost symbol. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1107.
At step 1107, the main CPU 101 forcibly displays stop the special symbol in the variable display. Specifically, the second special figure (the missing symbol) stored in the second special figure temporary storage area rewritten in the above-mentioned step 1106 can be displayed in the second special figure even if the variation time has not elapsed. (2) Stop display on the special symbol display device 31. Then, the process proceeds to step 1109.

Further, in step 1108, which is performed when it is determined in step 1105 that the symbol is not the small hitting symbol, the main CPU 101 stops the measurement of the variation time of the first special figure or the second special figure during the variable display. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1109.
Here, only the measurement of the fluctuation time is stopped, and the fluctuation display of the first special figure or the second special figure is continuously performed. For example, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the first special symbol display device 30, the lost symbol in the fluctuation display is forcibly stopped and displayed. There is nothing to do. In addition, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display device 30 during the fluctuation display of the lost symbol in the second special symbol display device 31, the lost symbol in the fluctuation display is forcibly stopped and displayed There is nothing to do. Then, by stopping the measurement of the fluctuation time, the fluctuation display of the lost symbol is continued while maintaining the remaining fluctuation time at this time. As described later, when the jackpot game is over, the measurement of the stopped fluctuation time is resumed.

At step 1109, the main CPU 101 turns off the high probability gaming flag and the time saving gaming flag. When the high probability game flag and the time reduction game flag are off, the main CPU 101 performs no processing. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1110.
In step 1110, the main CPU 101 sets an opening time, which is a standby time set at the start of the special game, to the opening time timer counter, and an opening command indicating that opening processing is to be started. Remember to In addition, based on the special motorized work product operation table 117 corresponding to the type of the jackpot symbol displayed stop, it acquires the number of rounds in the special game to be executed after the opening time has passed, and the round provided in the main RAM 103 Set in the number storage area. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1111.

  At step 1111, the main CPU 101 sets "01" in the execution phase data so that the special game control process is executed in the special figure related control process. Then, the post-stop process ends.

Further, in step 1112 which is performed when it is determined that the jackpot symbol is not the big hit symbol in the above-described step 1103, the main CPU 101 determines whether the second special figure stop-displayed is the small hit symbol. When it is determined that the symbol is not a small hit symbol (ie, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 1117. On the other hand, if it is determined that the symbol is a small hit symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 1113.
At step 1113, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not there is a special symbol in the variable display, specifically, whether or not the first special view is in the variable display. Then, when it is determined that there is no special symbol in the variable display, the process proceeds to step 1115. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a special symbol in the variable display, the process proceeds to the next step 1114.

At step 1114, the main CPU 101 stops the measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure during the fluctuation display. Here, only the measurement of the fluctuation time is stopped, and the fluctuation display of the first special view is continuously performed. That is, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the first special symbol display device 30, the lost symbol in the fluctuation display is forcibly stopped and displayed It will not be done. Then, by stopping the measurement of the fluctuation time, the fluctuation display of the lost symbol is continued while maintaining the remaining fluctuation time at this time. As described later, when the small hitting game is over, the measurement of the stopped fluctuation time is resumed.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1115.

At step 1115, the main CPU 101 sets the opening time set at the start of the small hitting game to the opening time timer counter, and stores the opening command indicating that the opening process is started in the effect transmission data storage area . Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1116.
At step 1116, the main CPU 101 sets "02" in the execution phase data so that the small hitting game control process is executed in the special figure related control process. Then, the post-stop process ends.

  Further, in step 1117 which is performed when it is determined in step 1112 that it is not a small hitting symbol, the main CPU 101 confirms the current gaming state, and stores the gaming state command in the effect transmission data storage area. The game state command includes information on or off of the high probability gaming flag, information on on or off the short time gaming flag, information on the number of high probability, information on the number of time reduction, and the like. Then, the post-stop process ends.

Next, the special game control process of step 702 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At step 1200, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the execution phase data is data "01" indicating execution of the special game control process. Then, when it is determined that the execution phase data is not "01", the special game control process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the execution phase data is "01", the process proceeds to the next step 1201.
At step 1201, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the opening time set in the opening time timer counter at step 1110 described above has elapsed. When it is determined that the opening time has not elapsed, the special game control process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1202.

At step 1202, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the ending process, which is a standby process performed after the end of all round games in the special game control process, is being performed. When it is determined that the ending process is being performed, the process proceeds to step 1210. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ending process is not in progress, the process proceeds to the next step 1203.
In step 1203, the main CPU 101 executes a special winning opening / closing control process of opening / closing the special winning opening 18 based on the special motorized product operating table 117 corresponding to the type of the jackpot symbol. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1204.

At step 1204, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not it is time to start the round game based on the above-mentioned large winning opening opening control of step 1203. When it is determined that the round game has not been started, the process proceeds to step 1206. On the other hand, when it is determined that the round game has been started, the process proceeds to the next step 1205.
At step 1205, the main CPU 101 stores a round game start command indicating the start of the round game in the effect transmission data storage area. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1206.
The round game start command is provided for each round game, so that it is possible to transmit to the sub control board 300 how many round games have been started.

In step 1206, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the round game has ended based on the above-mentioned large winning opening opening control of step 1203. When it is determined that the round game has not ended, the special game control process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the round game has ended, the process proceeds to the next step 1207.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the ending time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1257.
At step 1257, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special drawing is being stopped. As described above, when the second special symbol display device 31 displays a small hit symbol while the first special symbol display device 30 variably displays the lost symbol, measurement of the first special figure fluctuation time stops Be done. Then, if it is determined that the vehicle is not stopped, the process proceeds to step 1259. On the other hand, if it is determined that the vehicle is at a stop, the process proceeds to the next step 1258.

At step 1258, the main CPU 101 resumes measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure which has been stopped. Specifically, as described above, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the first special symbol display device 30, this small hit symbol During the small hitting game executed by the stop display of, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure is stopped. As a result, the remaining fluctuation time at the time when the small hitting game is started is maintained. And, when the small hitting game ends, the measurement of the remaining fluctuation time which has been maintained is resumed. In addition, when this fluctuation time passes, in the first special symbol display device 30, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the above-mentioned jackpot symbol is X1, both the high probability gaming flag and the time saving gaming flag are turned off. Further, when the above-mentioned jackpot symbol is X2, the high probability gaming flag is turned off, the hour saving gaming flag is turned on, and "30" is set as the number of hour saving. Further, when the above-mentioned jackpot symbol is X3, the high probability gaming flag is turned on and the time saving gaming flag is turned off, and "10,000" is set as the high probability number.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1302.

In step 1302, the main CPU 101 sets a game state specification command in the effect transmission data storage area in accordance with the game state set in step 1301 described above. The game state designation command includes information on the on / off of the high probability gaming flag set in step 1301, information on the on or off of the short time gaming flag, information on the high probability number, and information on the number of time delays. . Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1303.
At step 1303, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure or the second special figure is stopped. As described above, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the first special symbol display device 30, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure is stopped. Ru. When the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display device 30 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the second special symbol display device 31, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the second special figure is stopped. If it is determined that the vehicle is not in the stop state, the process proceeds to step 1305. On the other hand, if it is determined that the vehicle is at a stop, the process proceeds to the next step 1304.

In step 1304, the main CPU 101 resumes measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure or the second special figure which has been stopped. Specifically, as described above, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol display device 31 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the first special symbol display device 30, the stop of this big hit symbol During the special game executed by the display, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the first special figure is stopped. In addition, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display device 30 during the variable display of the lost symbol in the second special symbol display device 31, during the special game to be executed by the stop display of this big hit symbol , Measurement of fluctuation time of the second special figure is stopped. Thereby, the remaining fluctuation time at the time when the special game is started is maintained. Then, when the special game ends, the measurement of the remaining variation time that has been maintained is resumed. In addition, when this fluctuation time passes, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1305.

  In step 1305, the main CPU 101 sets "00" in the execution phase data so that the special symbol variation start process is executed in the special figure related control process. Then, the special game end process is ended.

Next, the common drawing related control processing of step 204 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At step 1400, the main CPU 101 loads the value of the common drawing execution phase data. The common drawing execution phase data indicates which of the plurality of functional modules (subroutines) constituting the common drawing related control process is to be executed. Specifically, the common drawing execution phase data includes data "10" indicating execution of ordinary symbol variation start processing described later, data "11" indicating execution of ordinary symbol variation stop processing described later, and ordinary It has data "12" which shows execution of symbol stop post-processing, and data "13" which shows execution of movable piece control processing mentioned below.

Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the common drawing random number is stored in the common drawing reservation storage area, the normal symbol holding display device 33 is displayed in a mode that can recognize the common drawing reservation number. It has become. Then, when the variation display of the normal symbol is performed, at the same time as the start of the variation display, the normal symbol suspension display device 33 is subjected to display control so as to indicate that the number of common drawing reservations is reduced by one. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1512.

At step 1512, the main CPU 101 stores the current gaming state in the gaming state buffer as the gaming state at the start of fluctuation. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1513.
In step 1513, the main CPU 101 sets “11” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol variation stop processing is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the normal symbol variation start process is ended.

When it is determined that the fluctuation time has not elapsed, the normal symbol fluctuation stop process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluctuation time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1602.

At step 1602, the main CPU 101 sets stop display data for stopping the normal symbol display on the normal symbol display device 32, and executes the normal symbol stop display. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1603.
At step 1603, the main CPU 101 sets the common drawing stop display time, which is determined at step 1510 described above and stored in the temporary storage area, to the common drawing stop display time timer counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1604.

  At step 1604, the main CPU 101 sets “12” to the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol stop post process is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the normal symbol variation stop process is ended.

Next, the normal symbol stop post-processing of step 1403 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At step 1700, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "12" indicating execution of a normal symbol stop post process. Then, if it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "12", the normal symbol stop post-processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is "12", the process proceeds to the next step 1701.
At step 1701, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing stop display time set in the common drawing stop display time timer counter at step 1603 described above has elapsed. Then, when it is determined that the common view stop display time has not elapsed, the normal symbol stop post-processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the general drawing stop display time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1702.

At step 1702, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the normal symbol stopped and displayed is a hit symbol. When it is determined that the normal symbol being stopped and displayed is a hit symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 1703. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal symbol being stopped and displayed is not a hit symbol (ie, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 1704.
In step 1703, the main CPU 101 sets “13” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the movable piece control processing is executed in the common drawing related control processing. And normal pattern stop post-processing ends.

  In addition, in step 1704 which proceeds when it is determined that the normal symbol stopped and displayed in step 1702 described above is not a hit symbol, the main CPU 101 executes the normal symbol variation start process in the ordinary drawing related control process, Set "10" to the common drawing execution phase data.

When it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "13", the movable piece control process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is "13", the process proceeds to the next step 1801.
At step 1801, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the movable piece 15 d is in operation control, that is, whether or not the start winning hole solenoid 15 c is energized. If it is determined that the movable piece 15d is in operation control, the process proceeds to step 1804. On the other hand, when it is determined that the movable piece 15d is not in operation control, the process proceeds to the next step 1802.

(Summary of production on pachinko machine P)
As described above, by executing various processes on the main control board 100, the special figure game and the special figure game, and the special game and the small hit game will be advanced. Then, during the progress of these games, various commands are transmitted from the main control board 100 to the sub control board 300, and the sub control board 300 receives this command, whereby the progress of the game is performed in the sub control board 300. Control of the presentation accompanying with is performed.
In the following, it is executed during the fluctuation display of the special symbol and reports the result of the lottery of the big hit, the suspension display effect that performs the suspension display in the predetermined display mode, the execution during the fluctuation effect, the result of the jackpot of lottery A notice effect (a first notice effect, a second notice effect, a hold change notice effect) for giving a predetermined notice (suggestment) to the hold change effect will be described. In addition, here, the gaming state is the high probability non-short game state, and only the variable display of the second special figure is performed, the contents of each effect to be executed will be described, and unless otherwise stated, the other descriptions will be described. Omit.

(Summary of fluctuation production)
In the variation effect performed by the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, variation display of the effect pattern 50 (dummy symbol) is performed superimposed on the background image displayed on the effect display device 21. Then, the player is notified of the result of the jackpot lottery by the combination (stop display mode) of the effect symbols 50 stopped and displayed after being variably displayed.

Specifically, after the start of the variation display of the special symbol, the variation display of all the representation symbols 50 is started from the state in which all of the representation symbols 50 are stopped and displayed (FIGS. 42A and 42B), After that, the effect symbol 50 (hereinafter referred to as the first stop symbol) located on the left side, the effect symbol 50 located on the right side (hereinafter referred to as the second stop symbol), the effect symbol 50 located in the center (hereinafter the third stop symbol The stop display is performed in the order of (see (c) to (e) in FIG. 42).
Then, if the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, all of the effect pattern 50 is stopped and displayed with the same symbol (see FIG. 42 (e)). That is, by displaying stopped all the production symbols 50 with the same symbol, it is informed that the result of the jackpot lottery is the jackpot.
On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, although not particularly shown, not all the display symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with the same symbol. That is, when at least one of the rendering symbols 50 is stopped and displayed with a symbol different from that of the other rendering symbols 50, it is notified that the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss.
Moreover, when the result of lottery of big hit was a small hit, although it is not illustrated in particular, the specific mode (for example, the 1st stop symbol, the 2nd stop symbol, and the 3rd stop symbol are special) which shows a small hit The effect pattern 50 is stopped and displayed with a pattern (a mode of stopping with a bell pattern or the like). As a result, it is informed that the result of the jackpot lottery is a small jackpot.

Moreover, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the special symbol of the jackpot symbol X3 is determined as a result of the jackpot lottery, all of the effect symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with the symbol of "7" and the jackpot symbol X1 Alternatively, when the special symbol X2 is determined, all of the effect symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with a predetermined symbol other than "7".
That is, when all the display symbols 50 are stop-displayed with the symbol "7", it can be grasped that the jackpot symbol X3 has been determined based on the stop display, and the special game based on the determination is ended. It is possible to grasp that the high probability non-time-saving gaming state, which is the most advantageous gaming state for the player, is set later. On the other hand, when all the display symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with a predetermined symbol other than "7", it can be grasped that the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined based on the stop display, It can be grasped that the normal gaming state or the low probability time short gaming state is set after the end of the special game based on the determination.

  In addition, not only jackpot symbol X3 but also jackpot symbol X4 is provided as a special symbol for which high probability non-short game state is set after the end of the special game, and when jackpot symbol X3 is determined, all effect symbols 50 If the stop symbol is "7" and the big hit symbol X4 is determined, all the effect symbols 50 may be set to be stopped and displayed with a predetermined symbol other than "7". By setting in this way, even if all the effect symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with a predetermined symbol other than "7", a high probability non-short game status may be set after the end of the special game. It is possible to make it difficult to grasp the gaming state set after the end of the game.

  In addition, the third stop symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31 at a stop substantially simultaneously with the stop display of the special symbol. As a result, prior to the stop display of the effect pattern 50, the special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31, and the result of the jackpot lottery is grasped by the type of the special symbol To prevent it from

  In addition, as the form of the first half of the fluctuation effect, the reach no change pattern in which the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are stopped and displayed with different symbols, and the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are the same. A reach variation pattern is provided that is stopped and displayed with a symbol (so-called reach display is performed). The non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern each have a plurality of modes, and in each mode, the way of variation, the display content of the effect pattern 50, and the like are variously set.

Although not particularly illustrated, as the reach variation pattern mode, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol simply stop at the same symbol without any particular change in the way of the change or the display content of the effect symbol 50 The normal reach pattern to be displayed, and the mode display to restart the variable display after all the effect symbols 50 are temporarily stopped in the predetermined stop display mode are performed a predetermined number of times (so-called pseudo reams are performed), and then the reach display There is a special reach pattern to be done.
Moreover, in the reach change pattern, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol do not perform reach display in which the stop display is performed with the same symbol, and instead of performing the reach display, a predetermined image is generated that reach has occurred. You may make it alert | report by displaying.

As an aspect of the second half part of the fluctuation production in the case where the aspect of the first half part of the fluctuation production is the reach fluctuation pattern, a predetermined development effect image (for example, the production pattern 50 is destroyed one after another) Reach development effect that displays moving images etc.) is executed, and then there is a development pattern A (see FIG. 43) for notifying the result of the jackpot lottery, one each as the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol After reach display by the effect pattern 50 (that is, a line in which the effect pattern 50 stops and displays one line reach display) is performed, a plurality of effect patterns 50 are displayed as the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol, The reach display by these plurality of effect designs 50 (that is, the line in which the effect patterns 50 are stopped and displayed is the reach display of a plurality of lines) is performed Thereafter, the reach development effect is executed, and the development pattern B (see FIG. 44) informing the result of the jackpot lottery, and the result of the jackpot lottery is notified without the reach development effect being executed after the reach display. A no evolution pattern (see FIG. 42) is provided. The pattern with evolution and the pattern without evolution each have a plurality of modes, and in each mode, the manner of variation, the mode of the effect pattern 50 to be stopped, and the like are variously set.
In addition, as the mode of the second half part of the fluctuation production when the aspect of the first half part of the fluctuation production is no reach fluctuation pattern, it is not illustrated especially, but the result of the lottery of the big hit after the lapse of the second half fluctuation time There is provided a normal loss pattern in which it is reported that there is.

(Summary of pending display effects)
The on-hold display effect is to perform on-hold display in the predetermined display mode in the effect display device 21 when the on-hold storage is performed or the on-hold storage is read. Here, only the hold display effect based on the hold storage of the second special figure random number will be described, and the description of the hold display effect based on the hold memory of the first special figure random number will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 45 and the like, a hold display area 52 of the second special figure random number is provided in the lower part of the display unit 21a in the effect display device 21. When the second special drawing random number is put on hold, the hold display area 52 displays a hold display indicating that the hold is made, and the hold number is notified to the player by the hold display. It has become.
Specifically, at the leftmost part of the hold display area 52, a read hold display unit 52a for displaying the read hold (that is, the hold that is the target of the variation display of the special symbol at the current time) is provided The first hold display unit 52b, the second hold display unit 52c, the third hold display unit 52d, and the fourth hold display unit 52e are provided on the right side of the read hold display unit 52a in order of storage. There is. Then, the number of second special drawing reservations is indicated by the four holding display units, the first holding display unit 52b, the second holding display unit 52c, the third holding display unit 52d, and the fourth holding display unit 52e. .

Here, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as described above, the main memory 103 of the main control board 100 is provided with the second reserved storage area for storing the second special view random number. As a result of the lottery of the jackpot included in the preliminary determination command, the type of special symbol, the variation mode number and the variation pattern number, the initial hold display mode to be described later, the possibility of execution of the hold change effect, the hold change mode A second hold storage area is provided in which hold information (pre-judgment information) such as (a mode of switching the display mode of the hold display) is stored.
The second hold storage area provided in the sub RAM 303 is constituted by a total of four storage units of a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit, and the first storage unit corresponds to the first hold display unit 52b, Hereinafter, the second storage unit to the fourth storage unit correspond to the second hold display unit 52c to the fourth hold display unit 52e, respectively. Then, when the hold information is stored in each storage unit, the hold display is performed in the corresponding hold display unit. In addition, when the fluctuation mode command is received, the suspension information stored in the first storage unit is read, and the suspension information is stored in the predetermined processing area of the sub RAM 303, and the fluctuation display and fluctuation effect of the special symbol are It is started. Then, along with this, a hold display is performed on the hold held in the read hold display unit 52a.
Further, the sub CPU 301 can grasp the second special view reservation number by confirming to which storage unit in the second storage area the suspension information is stored. For example, when no holding information is stored in any of the storage units, it can be understood that the second special view holding number is “0”, and the holding information is stored up to the second storage unit. In this case, it can be understood that the second special drawing reserve number is "2".

For example, when the variation display of the special symbol and the variation effect are not executed and the second special view reservation number is "0", the readout suspension display unit 52a, the first suspension display unit 52b, and the second suspension display unit The hold display is not performed on any of 52c, the third hold display unit 52d, and the fourth hold display unit 52e. In this case, when the pending storage is performed, the pending information is stored in the first storage unit, so the pending display is performed in the first pending display unit 52b. Thereafter, when the suspension storage is read out and the variable display and variation effect of the special symbol are started, the suspension display on the first suspension display unit 52b is shifted to the readout suspension display unit 52a and the readout suspension display unit 52a While the hold display is performed, the hold display on the first hold display unit 52b is erased.
In addition, for example, when the special symbol variation display and variation effect are being executed and the second special view reservation number is "3", the suspension information is stored in the first to third storage units. Therefore, the hold display is performed in the read hold display unit 52a, and the hold display is performed in the first hold display unit 52b, the second hold display unit 52c, and the third hold display unit 52d. After that, when the fluctuation display and the fluctuation effect of the special symbol in execution are finished, the pending storage in the first storage unit is read out, and the fluctuation display and the fluctuation effect of the next special symbol are started, the first suspension display The hold display in unit 52b is shifted to read hold display unit 52a, the hold display in second hold display unit 52c is shifted to first hold display unit 52b, and the hold display in third hold display unit 52d is the second hold display unit. While shifting to 52c, the hold display in each hold display unit is updated, and the hold display in the third hold display unit 52d is erased (see FIGS. 45 (a) to 45 (c)).

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, a mode in which a white circle is displayed (hereinafter referred to as white suspension) or an embodiment in which a blue circle is displayed (hereinafter referred to as blue suspension) And a red circle is displayed (hereinafter referred to as red hold) (see FIG. 45 and the like), and when the hold storage is performed, the hold display is performed in any of the display modes. And about the display mode of these pending | holding display, the height of possibility displayed when winning a big hit is set separately, respectively. This makes it possible to change the player's expectation for the jackpot according to the mode of the hold display.
In the drawing, the circle with the letter "white" indicates white reserve, the circle with the letter "blue" indicates blue reserve, and the circle with "red" letter Indicates a red hold.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine P according to this embodiment, the display mode of the suspension display at the time of suspension storage (hereinafter referred to as the initial suspension display mode; in this embodiment, either white suspension or blue suspension) It is possible to execute a pending change presentation (pre-reading presentation) that switches to another display mode with a high degree of expectation (see FIG. 46, FIG. 48 (c), etc.). In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, a predetermined execution prohibition condition (for example, any fluctuation mode number of the stored hold is “01H”, “02H”, “03H”, “A2H” or “A3H Can be determined for the newly stored hold when the fact that the change effect of the reach change pattern is executed is not established). There is. Then, when execution of the pending change presentation is determined for the newly stored pending, the pending change presentation execution target is pending between the start and the end of the change presentation to be executed thereafter. Is set so that it is possible to execute hold change (change the display mode of the hold display). In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the start time of the fluctuation effect, or any time before the reach display is performed from the start of the fluctuation effect (for example, the time after 5 seconds from the start of the fluctuation effect), Or, at the time when reach display is performed in the fluctuation production, it is possible to execute the hold change notice effect to be described later, and when the hold change notice effect is executed at any time, the hold change is accompanied accordingly. It is supposed to be run. The pending change notice effect will be described in detail later.

For example, when the special symbol is being displayed and the variable effect is being executed, and the second special view pending number is "0", a new pending storage is made, and the first storage unit is the pending information related to the new pending Is assumed to be stored. In addition, it is assumed that the white hold is displayed on the read hold display unit 52a (see FIG. 46A). Then, with respect to the newly stored hold, the hold display by white hold is performed at the time when the hold storage is performed, and when performing the next change presentation (that is, the change about the newly stored hold described above) It is assumed that the execution of the on-hold change effect switching from white on-hold display to on-hold display on blue hold is determined at the time of execution of the effect).
Then, the hold display by white hold is performed in the first hold display unit 52b from the time when the hold storage is performed (see FIGS. 46 (b) and (c)). Then, the variation effect being executed is ended, and the hold information related to the hold information stored in the first storage unit (that is, the hold information of the hold for which the execution of the hold change effect is performed) is read and the hold is performed. When the fluctuation effect based on the information is started, the hold display by white hold performed in the first hold display unit 52b is read out and moved to the hold display unit 52a (see FIG. 41D). After that, the hold display by the white hold in the read hold display unit 52a is switched to the hold display by the blue hold (see FIG. 46E). As a result, the hold display by the blue hold is performed in the read hold display unit 52a.

  In addition, a plurality of modes of suspension change in the suspension change effect are provided, and for these modes, the level of the possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won is separately set. This makes it possible to change the player's expectation for the jackpot according to the mode of the hold change.

(Summary of the various decisions regarding whether or not to execute the pending change effect)
Whether or not the pending change presentation is performed, the initial pending display mode, and the mode of the pending change when the pending change presentation is performed (a mode of switching the pending display) are acquired in advance from the main control board 100 when the pending storage is performed. The determination is made based on the variation mode number included in the determination command and the second Toku-zu reserve number at the time when the retention storage is performed.
Specifically, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 stores a plurality of hold change presentation determination tables 123 for determining whether or not the hold change presentation can be performed, the initial hold display mode, and the mode of the hold change. In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, a corresponding hold change presentation determination table 123 is provided for each of the second special view hold numbers (0 to 3) at the time when the hold storage is performed. Then, the sub CPU 301 refers to the hold change effect determination table 123 according to the above-mentioned second special view hold number, and determines whether or not the hold change effect can be executed, the initial hold display mode, and the hold change mode. It has become. In addition, when the change display of the special symbol and the change effect are not performed and the suspension memory is made, and the change display of the special symbol and the change effect are being executed, the number of the second special view is “0”. When the pending storage is performed at the time, the pending change presentation determination table 123 corresponding to the second special view pending number “0” is referred to.
Here, the hold change effect determination table 123 (hereinafter referred to as hold change effect determination table A) to be referred to when the second special view hold number at the time when the hold storage is made is “0”, and hold storage Describes the hold change production determination table 123 (hereinafter referred to as hold change production determination table B) to be referred to when the second special drawing reserve number at the time when is done is “1”, and other hold change production determination The description of the table 123 is omitted.

In each pending change effect determination table 123, a variation mode number included in the predetermination command acquired from the main control board 100 at the time of pending storage, and within a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249 in this embodiment) Whether or not to execute the pending change presentation, the initial pending display mode, and the pending change mode are defined in association with each of the pending change presentation determination random numbers to be acquired.
When the sub CPU 301 of the sub control board 300 receives the a priori determination command from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, the sub CPU 301 confirms the second special view pending number at that time, and the pending change effect corresponding to the second special view pending number While acquiring the determination table 123, the pending change effect determination random number of 1 is acquired from a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249). Then, the sub CPU 301 is based on the acquired pending change presentation determination table 123, the change mode number included in the prior determination command, and the pending transition presentation determination random number, whether or not to execute the pending transition presentation, the initial presentation display mode, and the suspension Determine the mode of change.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 47 (a), according to the pending change presentation determination table A, the variation mode numbers corresponding to the a priori determination command received by the sub CPU 301 are “01H”, “02H”, “03H Or “A2H” or “A3H”, the hold change effect is not executed (that is, the initial hold display mode is white hold and white hold does not change the hold state), and the initial hold display mode is white hold The mode of switching to blue hold when executing the variable effect based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect, the execution of the change effect based on the hold of the execution object for which the hold display mode is white hold and the hold change effect Change to red hold when the initial hold display mode is blue hold and does not change hold with the blue hold, change based on the initial hold display mode is blue hold and the target for execution of the hold change presentation is hold Any of the embodiments to switch to red hold is determined during the execution of the effect.
Further, as shown in FIG. 47 (b), according to the on-hold change effect determination table B, the variation mode numbers included in the prior determination command received by the sub CPU 301 are “01H”, “02H”, “03H”, “ In the case of “A2H” or “A3H”, the non-execution of the holding change effect, the initial holding display mode is white holding, and is performed one time before the change effect based on the holding of the execution object of the holding change effect In the case of the execution of the change effect → in the order of the execution of the change effect based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect, the mode of blue hold → blue hold, the mode of blue hold → red hold, red hold → red hold Mode, the initial hold display mode is a blue hold, and when performing a variable effect that is executed one time before the change effect based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect, On the occasion of execution of the change production based on In a mode in which the blue-pending → blue pending, aspects to be a blue-pending → red pending, any of the aspects to be a red hold → red hold is determined.

Then, as described above, when it is determined whether or not the holding change effect can be performed, the initial holding display mode, and the holding change mode by the holding storage, the corresponding storage unit of the second holding storage area , The determined hold information is stored.
Specifically, for example, when the second special view hold count is “1”, hold storage is performed, and when execution of the hold change presentation is not determined for the hold, the second hold storage area The second storage unit stores pending information indicating non-execution of the pending change presentation.
In addition, for example, when the second special drawing reserve number is “1”, the reserve storage is performed, the execution of the reserve change presentation is determined for the reserve, and the initial reserve display mode is white reserve, and the reserve is set. In the case of the execution of the change production that is executed one time before the change production based on the hold of the change production execution target → → in the case of the execution of the change production based on the hold of the execution target of the hold change production When the mode to become is determined, the hold information indicating the execution of the hold change effect is stored in the second storage unit of the second hold storage area, and the “white hold” as the initial hold display mode, the hold change effect "Change to blue hold" as an aspect of the hold change at the time of execution of the change play that is executed one time before the change play based on the hold of the execution target, and the change play based on the hold of the execution target for the hold change play When you run Pending information "changes to red Hold" is stored as an aspect of the pending change.
In addition, for example, when the second special drawing reserve number is “1”, the reserve storage is performed, and the execution of the pending change effect is determined for the pending, and “blue pending” as the initial pending display mode, the pending change In the case of the execution of the change effect performed one time before the change effect based on the hold of the execution target of the effect → → in the order of the execution of the change effect based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect execution Is determined, the second storage unit of the second storage area stores the hold information indicating the execution of the hold change effect, and the "blue hold" as the initial hold display mode, the hold change effect "Wait with blue hold" as an aspect of the hold change at the time of execution of the change play performed one time before the change play based on the hold of the execution target, and of the change play based on the hold of the run change target At the time of execution Pending information "changes to red Hold" is stored as an aspect of the pending change.

  Further, in FIG. 47, the numerals written in the respective selection areas in which the fluctuation pattern number and the contents are associated with each other indicate the range of random numbers allocated to the selection area (selection ratio of the selection area).

In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the initial reserve display mode is white reserve or blue reserve, but the present invention is not limited to this. White reserve may be always kept, or other than white reserve and blue reserve (For example, red hold etc.).

Then, the pending storage is performed, and when the sub CPU 301 receives the prior determination command from the main control board 100, the first adjustment value table 124 is referred to according to the variation mode number and the type of the special symbol included in the prior determination command. A first adjustment value is then determined.

As shown in FIG. 49, according to the first adjustment value table 124, when the change mode number included in the advance determination command is “00H” (the change effect mode is the no reach change pattern and the normal loss pattern, the lottery of the big hit As a result of the loss, the first adjustment value "F00" is determined regardless of the type of the special symbol (that is, any of the lost symbols Z1 and Z2).
In addition, when the variation mode number included in the predetermination command is “01H” (the variation presentation mode is the reach variation pattern and no development pattern, and the jackpot result is a loss), the special symbol included in the predetermination command The first adjustment value “F01” is determined regardless of the type of
In addition, when the variation mode number included in the predetermination command is “02H” (the variation presentation mode is the reach variation pattern and the pattern with development A and the jackpot result of the big win is lost), the special determination included in the predetermination command The first adjustment value "F02" is determined regardless of the type of symbol.
In the case where the fluctuation mode number included in the predetermination command is “03H” (the variation effect mode is the reach fluctuation pattern and the pattern with development B and the jackpot result of the big win is a loss), the special identification included in the predetermination command Regardless of the type of symbol, the first adjustment value "F03" is determined.

In addition, when the variation mode number included in the predetermination command is “A2H” (the variation presentation mode is the reach variation pattern and the pattern with development A and the jackpot result is the big win), the special determination command included in the predetermination command When the symbol type is jackpot symbol X1 or X2, the first adjustment value "A21" is determined, and when jackpot symbol X3 is the first adjustment value "A22" is determined.
In addition, when the variation mode number included in the predetermination command is “A3H” (the variation presentation mode is the reach variation pattern and the pattern with development B and the jackpot result is the big win), the special decision included in the predetermination command When the symbol type is jackpot symbol X1 or X2, the first adjustment value "A31" is determined, and when jackpot symbol X3 is the first adjustment value "A32" is determined.

  In addition, when the variation mode number included in the predetermination command is “B0H” (the variation presentation mode is the reach variation pattern and the pattern without development, and the jackpot result is a small hit), the special determination included in the predetermination command When the symbol type is small hit symbol Y1, the first adjustment value "B01" is determined, and when it is small hit symbol Y2, the first adjustment value "B02" is determined.

(Decision of the first notice effect)
Further, as shown in FIG. 50, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 determines whether or not to execute the first preview effect, and the mode (pattern A1, pattern A2) in the case of executing the first preview effect. A first notice effect determination table 125 for storing is stored.
The first notice effect determination table 125 corresponds to the first adjustment value determined as described above and each first notice effect determination random number acquired within a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249 in this embodiment) It is attached, and the mode (pattern A1 or pattern A2) in the case of performing the 1st notice production is determined. Then, when the sub CPU 301 of the sub control board 300 receives the a priori determination command from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, the sub CPU 301 executes the first notice effect determination random number of 1 from the predetermined numerical range (0 to 249). Whether or not to execute the first notice effect based on the first adjustment value, the acquired first notice effect determination random number, and the first notice effect determination table 125, and an embodiment in the case of executing the first notice effect Is determined.

Further, in FIG. 50, the numbers described in the respective selection areas associated with the first adjustment value and the possibility of execution of the first advance presentation effect or the mode for executing the first advance presentation effect are assigned to the selection area. The range of random numbers (selection ratio of the selected area) is shown.
For example, when the determined first adjustment value is "B01" (when the small hitting symbol Y1 is determined, and the variable presentation is performed by the reach changing pattern and the non-evolving pattern, and the notification of the winning of the small hitting is notified) Is the case where the determined first adjustment value is “B02” (small hitting symbol Y2 is determined, and variation effects are performed by the reach variation pattern and no development pattern, and a notification of winning of a small hit is notified The first preview effect is easier to be executed than when the first preview effect is executed, the pattern than the pattern A1 (a mode in which a blue cut-in image “CHANCE !!” is displayed) It is easy to determine A2 (a mode in which a red cut-in image of “excessive heat !!” is displayed). Here, as described above, in the small hit game executed based on the determination of the small hit symbol Y1, more prize balls can be obtained than the small hit game executed based on the determination of the small hit symbol Y2 It has become.
That is, when the small hitting symbol Y1 having a higher degree of advantage than the small hitting symbol Y2 is determined, there is a high possibility that the aspect of the first notice effect with a high degree of expectation for the winning of the small hitting is executed. It has become.

  Note that the first adjustment value determined as described above and whether or not the first preview effect can be executed and the mode are included in the corresponding storage unit of the second hold storage area (that is, included in the advance determination command) as hold information. In the storage unit in which the fluctuation mode number, the fluctuation pattern number, etc. are stored, it is stored together with other hold information.

As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the fluctuation mode number determined based on the result of the lottery (that is, the lost, the big hit, the small hit) which can be determined by the big hit lottery, Determine the first adjustment value according to the type of special symbol that can be determined by (ie, big hit symbol X1, big hit symbol X2, big hit symbol X3, small hit symbol Y1, small hit symbol Y2, lost symbol Z1, lost symbol Z2) Then, based on the first adjustment value, it is determined whether or not to execute the first preview effect and the mode in the case of executing the first preview effect.
That is, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the determination regarding the first advance presentation effect is performed based on the first adjustment value in which not only the result of the jackpot lottery but also the type of the special symbol to be determined. It has become.
Here, for example, when the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, and the gaming state after the end of the special game based on the determination is set to the most advantageous high probability non-short game state for the player, the jackpot of A mode with a high degree of expectation is made easier to execute, or when the small hitting symbol Y1 is determined, a mode with a high expectation of the small hitting is performed in the first preview effect than when the small hitting symbol Y2 is determined Make it easy to determine the mode of the first preview effect consistent with the result of the jackpot lottery and the type of special symbol determined (conditions for determining the effect), such as making it easy to It is necessary to provide a table for determining the mode of the separate first preliminary presentation effect for each of the variation mode number to be determined, the type of the special symbol to be determined, and the like.
However, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, since the first adjustment value is a value including the result of the jackpot lottery and the information of the special symbol type, it corresponds to the first adjustment value in one table. By defining the form of the first notice effect, it is possible to appropriately and easily determine the form of the first notice effect consistent with the result of the jackpot lottery as described above and the type of the special symbol. It is That is, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine the execution of the first preview effect according to the intended mode without unnecessarily increasing the number of tables for determining the mode of the first preview effect. It is

(Determination of the execution of the second notice effect, determination of the form)
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the sub CPU 301 receives the fluctuation mode command from the main control board 100, the sub CPU 301 receives the above-described first adjustment value determined at the time of receiving the a priori determination command, and The second adjustment value is determined according to the content of the determination (execution availability, manner).
Then, based on the determined second adjustment value, it is determined whether or not to execute the second advance presentation effect in the variation production, and if the execution of the second advance presentation effect is determined, the second advance execution to be performed Determine the mode of presentation.

(Determination of second adjustment value)
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 51, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 stores a second adjustment value table 126 for determining a second adjustment value.
In the second adjustment value table 126, the second adjustment value is determined according to the first adjustment value determined at the time of receiving the predetermination command and whether or not the determined first advance presentation effect can be performed or the mode ing. Then, when the sub CPU 301 receives the fluctuation mode command from the main control board 100, the contents of the first adjustment value and the first advance presentation effect are acquired from the hold information stored in the predetermined processing area of the sub RAM 303, The second adjustment value is determined with reference to the second adjustment value table 125 according to the contents of the above.

As shown in FIG. 51, according to the second adjustment value table 126, for example, when the first adjustment value is "F00", the effect that the first advance presentation effect is not to be executed (non-execution of the first advance presentation effect The second adjustment value of "F000" is determined when the) is determined, and the second adjustment value of "F001" is determined when the execution of the first preview effect according to the pattern A1 is determined.
Further, for example, when the first adjustment value is "F03", the second adjustment value "F030" is determined when it is determined that the first preview effect is not to be executed, and the second adjustment value according to pattern A1 is determined. 1) The second adjustment value of "F031" is determined when execution of the preliminary announcement effect is determined, and the second adjustment value of "F032" is determined when the execution of the first preliminary announcement effect according to the pattern A2 is determined Be done.
Also, for example, when the first adjustment value is “A32”, the second adjustment value “A320” is determined when it is determined that the first preview effect is not to be executed, and the second adjustment value according to pattern A1 is determined. 1) The second adjustment value of “A 321” is determined when the execution of the advance notice effect is determined, and the second adjustment value of “A 322” is determined when the execution of the first notice effect by pattern A 2 is determined Be done.
Also, for example, when the first adjustment value is "B01", the second adjustment value "B010" is determined when it is determined that the first preview effect is not to be executed, and the second adjustment value according to pattern A1 is determined. 1) The second adjustment value of “B011” is determined when the execution of the preliminary announcement effect is determined, and the second adjustment value of “B012” is determined when the execution of the first preliminary announcement effect according to the pattern A2 is determined Be done.

(Decision of the second notice effect)
As shown in FIG. 52, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 determines whether or not to execute the second preview effect and a mode (pattern B1, pattern B2) for executing the second preview effect. An advance notice effect determination table 127 is stored.
The second notice effect determination table 127 corresponds to the second adjustment value determined as described above and each second notice effect determination random number acquired within a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249 in this embodiment) It is attached and the mode (pattern B1 or pattern B2) in the case of performing the 2nd notice production and the execution of the 2nd notice production is defined. Then, when the sub CPU 301 of the sub control board 300 receives the fluctuation mode command from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, the sub CPU 301 selects one second notice effect determination random number from a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249). Based on the second adjustment value, the acquired second notice effect determination random number, and the second notice effect determination table 127, whether to execute the second notice effect and the mode in which the second notice effect is to be performed are determined. Be done.

  Further, in FIG. 52, the second adjustment value and the mode for performing non-execution of the second preview effect (indication that the second preview effect is not performed) or the mode for performing the second preview effect are recorded in each selection area The number shown indicates the range of random numbers allocated to the selected area (selection ratio of the selected area).

For example, when the determined second adjustment value is "A221" (the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, the fluctuation effect is performed by the reach fluctuation pattern and the development pattern A, and the winning of the jackpot is notified, and the pattern A1 In the case where the first preview effect is executed, if it is "A 220" (the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, the fluctuation effect is performed by the reach fluctuation pattern and the development pattern A, and the winning of the jackpot is notified, The second preview effect is easier to be executed than when the first preview effect is not executed. Further, in the case of “A221”, the pattern B2 (a mode in which a predetermined portion of the background image changes to red) is more easily determined than in the case of “A220”.
That is, when the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, it is determined that the execution of the first trailer effect according to the pattern A1 having a high degree of expectation for winning the jackpot is determined than when the first trailer effect is not executed, There is a high possibility that the second preview effect by the pattern B2 having a high degree of expectation to the player is executed.

  In addition, when the determined second adjustment value is “A 222” (the jackpot symbol X3 is determined, the fluctuation effect is performed by the reach fluctuation pattern and the development pattern A, and the winning of the jackpot is notified, and the pattern A2 In the case where the first advance presentation effect is executed), it is determined that the second advance presentation effect is not executed, or the execution of the second advance presentation effect by the pattern B2 is made. That is, since the second advance presentation effect by the pattern B2 is executed whenever the execution of the second advance presentation effect is determined, the first advance presentation effect by the pattern B1 is not executed. As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the execution of the first preview effect according to the pattern A2 (aspect changing to red) having a high degree of expectation for jackpot compared to the pattern A1 (aspect changing to blue) is determined In this case, in the second preview effect, it is excluded that the pattern B1 which is an aspect having a relatively low expectation for the jackpot is determined, and the pattern B2 which is an aspect having a relatively high expectation for the jackpot is determined It has become so.

  The second adjustment value determined as described above is stored together with other suspension information in a predetermined processing area of the sub RAM 303 in which the read suspension information of suspension is stored.

As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the first adjustment value determined according to the variation mode number and the type of the special symbol, and the contents of the determination regarding the first advance presentation effect Determine a second adjustment value according to. And based on this 2nd adjustment value, the mode in the case of performing the 2nd notice production and the 2nd notice production is determined.
That is, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, in the above case, the second adjustment value taking into consideration not only the type of the special symbol determined as a result of the jackpot lottery but also the content of the determination regarding the first notice effect. Based on the above, a decision regarding the second preliminary announcement effect is to be made.
Here, for example, when the jackpot symbol X3 is determined and the first preview effect according to the pattern A2 is executed, the second notice is more than when the jackpot symbol X3 is determined and the first notice effect according to the pattern A1 is executed. If it is easy to execute an aspect with high expectation for the jackpot in the presentation, or if the first preview presentation with pattern A2 is executed, the execution of the second announcement presentation with the aspect with relatively low expectation for the jackpot is excluded (Restricted), and the type of the special symbol determined as a result of the jackpot lottery, and the first trailer effect, such as the execution of the second preview effect according to the aspect with a high degree of expectation for the jackpot being determined, etc. In order to properly determine the aspect of the second preliminary presentation effect that is consistent with the content of the decision regarding the (conditions for determining the presentation), it is necessary to De number, the type of special symbols that are determined, for each such contents of decisions on the first informational display, it is necessary to respectively provide a table for determining the mode of the second announcement attraction separate.
However, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the second adjustment value is a value including information on the type of the special symbol and the content of the determination regarding the first advance presentation effect as a result of the jackpot lottery, By defining the form of the second notice effect according to the second adjustment value in the table of the table, as a result of the jackpot of such a big hit as described above, the type of special symbol and the content and consistency of the determination regarding the first notice effect It is possible to appropriately and easily determine the mode of the second preliminary presentation effect that has been taken. That is, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine the execution of the second preview effect according to the intended mode without unnecessarily increasing the number of tables for determining the mode of the second preview effect. It is

(Determination of whether or not to execute the pending change notice effect, determination of the mode)
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the execution of the holding change presentation is determined for the holding corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command, or the execution of the holding change presentation for the holding stored after the holding is determined. If it has been determined, the above-mentioned second adjustment value determined and the aspect of the pending change performed at the start of the change production based on the above-mentioned variation mode command (change to blue hold, change to red hold, blue After the third adjustment value is determined in accordance with the hold on hold and the red hold on), whether or not to execute the on-hold change advance presentation effect is determined based on the third adjustment value.
Then, based on the determined third adjustment value, it is determined whether or not to execute the pending change advance presentation effect in the change production, and when the execution of the pending change advance presentation effect is determined, the pending change advance notice to be executed Determine the mode of presentation.

(Determination of third adjustment value)
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 53, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 stores a third adjustment value table 128 for determining a third adjustment value.
The third adjustment value table 128 holds the second adjustment value determined at the time of receiving the a priori determination command, and the hold target of the execution object of the hold change effect when the change effect based on the received change mode command is executed. The third adjustment value is adjusted according to the mode of change in hold (hereinafter referred to as the change in change mode; in this embodiment, change to blue hold, wait on blue hold, change to red hold, or wait on red hold). It is fixed. Then, when the sub CPU 301 receives the fluctuation mode command from the main control board 100, the second adjustment value and the said pending change mode are obtained from the pending information stored in the predetermined processing area of the sub RAM 303, and the contents of these Accordingly, the third adjustment value is determined with reference to the third adjustment value table 128.

Here, for example, holding is performed when the second special drawing holding number is “1”, execution of holding change presentation is determined for the holding, and “white holding” is determined as an initial holding display target. Hold change effect execution based on the hold target of the change effect based on the hold of the change effect of the previous execution → → hold change effect execution target of the change target execution based on the hold effect of the order of execution, blue hold → red hold It is assumed that the aspect to become is determined. Then, in the change effect performed one time before the change effect based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect, the hold change mode becomes “change to blue hold”, and based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect In the change effect, the hold change mode is “change to red hold”.
In addition, for example, when the second special drawing reserve number is “1”, reserve storage is performed, execution of the pending change effect is determined for the pending, and “blue pending” is determined as an initial pending display target. , In the case of the execution of the change production of the previous time of the change production based on the hold of the execution target of the hold change production → → in the order of the execution of the change production based on the hold of the execution target of the hold change production execution It is assumed that the following aspect has been determined. Then, in the change effect performed one time before the change effect based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect, the hold change mode becomes “change to red hold”, and based on the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect In the change production, the hold change mode is “stand by red hold”.

As shown in FIG. 53, according to the third adjustment value table 128, for example, when the second adjustment value is "F010", the hold change mode is "change to blue hold" The third adjustment value "F0100" is determined, and when the pending change mode is "waiting on blue hold", the third adjustment value "F0101" is determined, and the pending change mode changes to "red hold" The third adjustment value of "F0102" is determined when it is "," and the third adjustment value of "F0103" is determined when the hold change mode is "waiting for red hold".
Also, for example, when the second adjustment value is "A210", the third adjustment value "A2100" is determined when the hold change mode is "change to blue hold", and the hold change The third adjustment value of "A2101" is determined when the mode is "wait in blue hold", and the third adjustment value of "A2102" is in the case where the hold change mode is "change to red hold". A third adjustment value of “A2103” is determined when it is determined and the hold change mode is “stand by red hold”.
Also, for example, when the second adjustment value is "A222", the third adjustment value "A2220" is determined when the hold change mode is "change to blue hold", and the hold change The third adjustment value of "A2221" is determined when the mode is "waiting for blue hold", and the third adjustment value of "A2222" is determined when the pending change mode is "change to red hold". A third adjustment value of "A2223" is determined when it is determined that the pending change mode is "waiting for red pending".
Also, for example, when the second adjustment value is "B012", the third adjustment value "B0120" is determined when the hold change mode is "change to blue hold", and the hold change The third adjustment value of "B0121" is determined when the mode is "wait in blue hold", and the third adjustment value of "B0122" is in the case where the hold change mode is "change to red hold". A third adjustment value of "B0123" is determined when the hold change mode is "waiting for red hold".

  In FIG. 53, only the third adjustment value related to the second adjustment value of “F010”, “A210”, “A222” and “B012” described above is described, and the third adjustment value related to the other second adjustment values is described. The adjustment values are omitted. Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the change mode number is "00H", the hold change effect is not executed, so the second adjustment value of "F000" and "F001" (the change mode number is The third adjustment value corresponding to the second adjustment value determined at “00H” is not determined.

(Determination of hold change notice production)
As shown in FIG. 54, in the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300, the execution of the hold change presentation is determined for the hold corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command, or the hold stored after the hold is stored. When the execution of the pending change presentation is determined, the pending change announcement presentation determining table 129 for determining whether or not the pending change announcement presentation is performed and the mode of executing the pending change announcement presentation are stored.
The hold change advance notice effect determination table 129 corresponds to the third adjustment value determined as described above and each hold change notice effect decision random number acquired within a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249 in this embodiment) It is attached, and the mode (pattern C1, pattern C2, pattern C3, pattern C4, pattern C5, pattern C6) in the case of performing the pending change advance presentation effect and execution of the pending change announcement effect is defined. Then, when the sub CPU 301 of the sub control board 300 receives the fluctuation mode command from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, the sub CPU 301 executes the pending change notice effect determination random number of 1 from the predetermined numerical range (0 to 249). Based on the third adjustment value, the acquired hold change notice effect determination random number and the hold change notice effect determination table 129, whether or not to execute the hold change notice effect and the mode for executing the hold change notice effect are determined Be done.

In FIG. 54, "F0100", "F0101", "F0102", "F0103", "A2100", "A2101", "A2102", "A2103", "A2220", "A2221", "A2222" The third adjustment values of "A2223", "B0120", "B0121", "B0122" and "B0123" are described only, and the other third adjustment values are omitted.
Further, in FIG. 54, the numbers described in the respective selection areas associated with the third adjustment value and the combination of non-execution of the hold change advance announcement effect or the mode for executing the hold change advance announcement effect are the selected area Shows the range of random numbers assigned to (selection ratio of the selected area).

For example, when the determined third adjustment value is “A2102” (the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined, the fluctuation effect is performed by the reach fluctuation pattern and the development pattern A, and the jackpot is announced and the hold is made When the change mode is "change to red reserve" and the first preview effect is not executed), if the determined third adjustment value is "A2100" (the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined, the reach) The variation pattern is performed by the variation pattern and the development pattern A, and the winning of the big hit is notified, and the hold change mode is “change to blue hold”, and the first hold effect is not executed) It is easy to carry out the advance presentation. Further, in the mode (pattern C5, pattern C6) in which the holding change is performed at the time when the reach display is performed, the case where the third adjustment value is "A2102" is easier to be executed than when the third adjustment value is "A2100" It has become.
That is, when the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined, the hold change is executed in the reach display in the case of "change to red hold" than when the hold change mode is "change to blue hold" It is likely to be

In addition, when the determined third adjustment value is “A2101” (the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined, the fluctuation effect is performed by the reach fluctuation pattern and the development pattern A, and the jackpot is announced and the suspension is performed. In the case where the change mode is "stand by at blue hold" and the first preview effect is not executed), the hold advance change effect by pattern C1, pattern C3, pattern C5 (a mode in which a blue character image is displayed) The execution is not determined, and the execution of the pattern C2, the pattern C4, and the pattern C6 (a mode in which a red character image is displayed) may be determined.
As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the hold display for the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect is already blue hold, and the hold change mode is “waiting for blue hold”. When the execution of the hold change effect is determined, it is excluded that the pattern C1, the pattern C3, and the pattern C5 indicating that the expectation to change to blue hold is high is determined, and the expectation to change to red hold is high It is possible to determine a pattern C2, a pattern C4, and a pattern C6 indicating that. As a result, although the holding display of blue holding is being performed, the holding change effect with a high degree of expectation to change to blue holding is executed, so that it is possible to prevent the feeling of discomfort from being produced. There is.
In the above case, when the execution of the pending change advance presentation effect is determined, although the pending change advance presentation effect is executed by the pattern C2, pattern C4 or pattern C6, the pending display for the pending target of the execution of the pending change presentation Will remain blue pending (ie, the failure pattern described above will be performed).

Moreover, when the determined third adjustment value is "A2103" (the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined, the fluctuation effect is performed by the reach fluctuation pattern and the development pattern A, and the jackpot is notified of being announced, and the suspension is In the case where the change mode is “stand by at red hold” and the first preview effect is not executed), the execution of the hold preview change effect is not determined.
As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the hold display for the hold of the execution object of the hold change effect is already red hold, and the hold change mode is “stand by red hold”. When the execution of the pending change presentation is determined, any decision of the pattern C1 to the pattern C6 is excluded as an aspect of the pending change announcement presentation, and the execution of the pending announcement change presentation is not determined. As a result, although the on-hold indication of red on-hold is being performed, the on-hold change effect is executed, so that it is possible to prevent the discomfort from being produced.

As described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the first adjustment value determined according to the variation mode number and the type of the special symbol, and the contents of the determination regarding the first advance presentation effect Determine a second adjustment value according to. In addition, if the execution of the hold change presentation is determined for the hold corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command, or the execution of the hold change presentation is determined for the hold stored after the hold, the decision The second adjustment value determined and the third adjustment value corresponding to the pending change mode are determined. Then, on the basis of the third adjustment value, it is determined whether or not to execute the on-hold change advance presentation effect and the mode in the case of executing the on-hold change advance announcement effect.
That is, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, in the above case, not only the type of special symbol determined as a result of the jackpot lottery, the content of the determination regarding the first notice effect, but also the hold change in the hold change effect On the basis of the third adjustment value in which the aspect of (1) is taken into consideration, the decision on the pending change advance presentation effect is made.

  Here, for example, when the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 is determined and the first notice effect by the pattern A1 is executed, and the hold change mode is “change to red hold”, the jackpot symbol X1 or X2 Or the first preview effect according to the pattern A1 is executed, and the mode in which the expectation of the hold change is higher than the case where the hold change mode is “change to red hold” is easier to execute, When the pending change mode is “waiting at blue hold”, the execution of the pending change notice effect by the mode having a high degree of expectation to change to blue pending is excluded (restricted), and the expected degree to be changed to red pending is The type of special symbol determined as a result of the jackpot lottery, the type of the special symbol to be determined as a result of the first preview effect, and the said pending change, such as the execution of the pending change previewing effect according to the high aspect being determined or the like In order to properly determine the aspect of the pending change announcement effect consistent with the aspect (condition for determining the presentation), the variation mode number to be determined, the type of the special symbol to be determined, the first (1) It is necessary to provide a table for determining a mode of separate hold change advance presentation effects for each of the contents of the determination regarding the advance announcement effect, the hold change mode, and the like.

  However, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the third adjustment value is a value including the type of the special symbol, the content of the determination regarding the first advance presentation effect, and the information on the pending change mode as a result of the jackpot lottery. Therefore, by defining the mode of the pending change notice effect according to the third adjustment value in one table, as a result of the above-mentioned lottery of the jackpot, the type of special symbol, the determination regarding the first notice effect It is possible to appropriately and easily determine the content and the aspect of the pending change announcement effect consistent with the pending change aspect. That is, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine the execution of the pending change previewing effect according to the intended mode without unnecessarily increasing the number of tables for determining the mode of the pending change previewing effect.
