In addition, it is possible to appropriately set the number of winning balls by winning in each winning opening.

  In addition, indicators 8 are disposed on the lower left of the game area 6 formed on the front of the game board 1 (a part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, a special figure 2 indicator 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and a common figure are variably displayed on the display 8 A common picture display 82 is included. In addition, special figure 1 reserve indicator 83a which displays special figure 1 reserve number which it mentions later (U1: the number where variable indication of special figure 1 with special figure 1 indicator 81a is reserve) which it mentions later, A special figure 2 reserve display 83b is included to display the special figure 2 reserve number described later (U2: the number of the special view 2 variable display by the special figure 2 display 81b is pending).

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 11. Further, the variable display of the special view 2 is executed when the special view 2 lottery is performed triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 12. In the following description, the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 are collectively referred to as a special drawing (an example of an identification symbol), and the special drawing 1 lottery and the special drawing 2 lottery are collectively referred to as a special drawing lottery. The special view 1 display 81 a and the special view 2 display 81 b are collectively referred to as a special view display 81. Furthermore, the special view 1 reserve display 83 a and the special view 2 reserve display 83 b are collectively referred to as a special view reserve display 83.

  The variable display of the special drawing reports the result of the special drawing lottery. In the special view variable display, the special view is variably displayed and then stopped. The special view (stop special view, a special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) to be stopped and displayed is one special view selected from among a plurality of types of special views by special drawing lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined specific figure (special figure of a specific stop mode, ie, a big hit symbol), the special winning opening (first large winning opening 14 and second large winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

  The special view display 81 includes, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special view according to the result of the special view lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special figure lottery is a big hit (one of a plurality of types of big hits described later), the special figure display 81 is “□□ ■■ □□ ■■” (□: lighting, ■ : The jackpot symbol consisting of the lighting of the first, second, fifth and sixth LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a loss, the special drawing indicator 81 is a lost design configured by lighting of only the LED at the right like "■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■" Display In addition, the lighting mode of LED corresponding to the result of a special figure lottery is not limited, It can set suitably. Therefore, for example, all the LEDs may be turned off as a lost symbol.

  Further, in the variable display of the special view, the variable display of the special view is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time before the special view is stopped and displayed. The aspect of the variable display of the special view is, for example, the aspect in which each LED is lighted so that light repeatedly flows from the left to the right. In addition, the aspect of the variable display of a special figure is not specifically limited, If each LED is not stop display (lighting display in a specific aspect), you may set suitably that all LED blinks simultaneously.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering) of the game ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, various random numbers (an example of determination information) for performing special drawing lottery etc. It may be acquired. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the below-mentioned special figure reservation storage unit 105 as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers”, and the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 12 The various random numbers acquired by (entering) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special view 1 related random number is stored as the special view 1 reserve, in the special view 1 reserve storage unit 105 a in the special view reserve storage unit 105. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored as the special figure 2 reserve, in the special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105 b in the special figure reserve storage unit 105. For the number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special view 1 reservation storage unit 105a (the special figure 1 reservation number) and the number of special view 2 reservations that can be stored in the special view 2 reservation storage unit 105b (the special figure 2 reservation number) The upper limit (for example, four) can be set. In the following, the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve are generically called "special figure reserve", and the special figure 1 reserve number and the special figure 2 reserve number are generically called "special figure reserve number". Also, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are generically called "special figure related random number".

  In pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special view is not performed immediately after the game ball has won the first start opening 11 or the second start opening 12, specifically, the variable display of the special view is under execution. Or, when there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, it is possible to reserve a variable display (or the right of the special figure lottery) of the special figure for the prize. The special view reserve stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 is digested when it becomes possible to variably display the special view based on the special view reserve. That is, the term “subtraction of a special view reserve” means that a special view relation random number or the like corresponding to the special view reserve is determined, and variable display of the special view to show the determination result is performed.

  Then, the number of to-be- reserved special drawings is displayed on the special-characteristic hold display 83. Each of the special view 1 reserve display 83a and the special view 2 reserve indicator 83b is constituted of, for example, 4 LEDs, and displays the number of the special view reserve by lighting the LED for the number of the special view reserve. It is possible.

  Further, the variable display of the common drawing reports the result of the common drawing lottery. In the variable display of the common drawing, after the common drawing is variably displayed, the stop display is performed. The stop-displayed common drawing (stop-general drawing, common drawing derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display) is one common drawing selected from among a plurality of common drawings by the common drawing lottery. When the stop-displayed common drawing is a predetermined specific common drawing (a common drawing of a predetermined stop mode, ie, a hit symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second starting opening 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed .

3. Next, the main game played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, each table shown in FIGS. 8-15 is a general thing for description of this item, and showed the table different from these in description of "the characteristic part of pachinko gaming machine PY1" mentioned later. In the case, it is assumed that the table is used in the pachinko gaming machine PY1. However, the table shown in this item is assumed to be used for a configuration in which another table is not shown in the description of “features of pachinko gaming machine PY1” described later, and “pachinko gaming machine PY1” described later. It is assumed that it is possible to change to the table shown in this item also with respect to the configuration showing another table in the description of the feature.

3-1. Games related to popular figures First, the games related to popular figures will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a common drawing lottery when the launched gaming ball passes the gate 13. When the drawing drawing lottery is performed, variable drawing display of the drawing drawing (stop display after the fluctuation display is performed) is performed on the drawing drawing display 82. Here, there are a hit symbol and a lost symbol in the common view that is displayed in a stop. In addition, about the lost design of a common drawing, in order to distinguish with the lost design of the special drawing mentioned later, it is also called a "loss common drawing". When the hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game relating to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the loss popular map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. In addition, in the following, the game ball passing through the gate 13 is referred to as "establishment of a common drawing start condition".

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires the common drawing relationship random number by the establishment of the common drawing start condition when performing such a series of games (normal drawing lottery, variable display of common drawing, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 8A, the common drawing related random numbers to be acquired include normal symbol random numbers. The normal symbol random number is a random number for making a hit determination. Random numbers are also referred to as determination information. A range is appropriately provided for the random numbers.

3-1-1. Clash Determination Clash determination is determination to determine whether or not a match is made (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) according to a clash determination table as shown in FIG. The hit determination table is associated with the gaming state described later. That is, the collision determination table includes a collision determination table (non-time reduction collision determination table) used in the non-short time state and a collision determination table (time reduction collision determination table) used in the time reduction state. In each hit determination table, the determination value (normal symbol random number value) of the normal symbol random number is distributed to the hit and the loss which is the result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a hit determination as to whether it is a hit or a loss by determining the acquired normal symbol random number according to the hit determination table. Then, based on the result of the collision determination, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination for performing variable display of the common drawing is performed. Basically, when the result of the hit determination is a hit, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in a variable display of a common figure. On the other hand, when the result of the collision determination is a loss, basically, the lost spread is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the spread. The winning probability of winning can be changed as appropriate. Further, the hit determination table may not be divided for each gaming state.

3-1-2. The common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment is a judgment for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern according to the common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment table as shown in FIG. 9 (B). The common drawing fluctuation pattern is identification information on predetermined matters concerning variable display of common drawing such as common drawing fluctuation time.

  The common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table, a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table (non-short time common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table used in the time-short state There is a time-shortened chart fluctuation pattern determination table). In addition, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table may not be divided for each gaming state.

  In each of the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination tables, one common drawing fluctuation pattern, which is the result of the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each of the common drawing to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the spread map fluctuation time different between the non-time-short state and the time-short state. For example, in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stopping and displaying the common drawing of the lost (the common drawing) is determined to the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stop display of the common drawing, it is determined that the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds, for example. Moreover, in the time saving state, the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stopping and displaying the lost common drawing is determined as the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the figure, a common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds is determined. The variable display of the common drawing of the common drawing fluctuation time associated with the common drawing fluctuation pattern determined by this determination is performed by the common drawing display 82. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change these common map fluctuation times. In this manner, by performing the hit determination and the common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment, variable display of the common drawing is performed on the common drawing display 82.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game The auxiliary game is a variable display of a common drawing, and is executed when a hit symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a display result (a result of a common drawing lottery).

  The elements that make up the auxiliary game (auxiliary game components) include various elements such as the number of times the electric chew 12D opens and the opening time for each opening. And each of these elements is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the auxiliary game in accordance with the auxiliary game control table as shown in FIG. 9 (C) based on the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). The auxiliary game control table is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). Auxiliary game components are stored in each of the auxiliary game control tables. The number of times of opening and the opening time of each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  Pachinko game machine PY1 makes open time of electric chow 12D differ with the auxiliary game in non time saving state and the auxiliary game in time saving state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-short time state, the electric chew 12D is opened only for the first opening time (a time (for example, 0.08 seconds) in which it is difficult to win the gaming ball in the electric chew 12D). In the following, the assistance game in the non-time-saving state is also referred to as "short opening assistance game". In addition, in the auxiliary game in the time saving state, the electric Chu 12D only for a second opening time (a time (for example, 3.0 seconds) in which it is easy to make the gaming ball win the electric Chu 12D) longer than the first opening time. Open. In the following, the assistance game in the time saving state is also referred to as "long opening assistance game". In addition, the opening time of electric chow 12D may be the same by the auxiliary game in a non-time-shortened state, and the auxiliary game in a time-shortened state.

3-2. Next, the game related to the special drawing will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special figure 1 lottery when the fired game ball wins the first start hole 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs variable display of the special figure 1 (display of variation and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 1 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a big hit and a loss in the result of the special figure 1 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special figure 2 lottery when the fired game ball wins the second starting opening 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs variable display of the special figure 2 (display of change and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 2 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a big hit and a loss in the result of the special figure 2 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  In the following, the game ball winning in the first start hole 11 is referred to as "establishment of the first start condition" and the game ball wins in the second start aperture 12 is satisfied "the establishment of the second start condition" It is said. In addition, “satisfaction of the first start condition” and “satisfaction of the second start condition” are collectively referred to as “satisfaction of the start condition”. Moreover, about the lost design of a special design, in order to distinguish from the lost design of the above-mentioned common drawing, it is also called a "lost special drawing".

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special drawing relationship random number by the establishment of the start condition when performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, big hit game, setting of gaming state), Perform various judgments on random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8 (B), there are special symbol random numbers (big hit random numbers), a big hit symbol type random number, a reach random number, and a special feature fluctuation pattern random number as the special feature related random numbers to be acquired. The special symbol random number is a random number for making a jackpot determination. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for making a jackpot symbol type determination. The reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number for performing the variation pattern determination of the special symbol. Random numbers are also referred to as determination information. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-2-1. Jackpot Determination The jackpot determination is a determination to determine whether or not a jackpot (whether a jackpot game is to be executed) according to a jackpot determination table as shown in FIG. 10 (A). The jackpot determination table is associated with the gaming state, specifically, whether it is a normal probability state or a high probability state. That is, the jackpot judgment table includes a jackpot judgment table (normal jackpot judgment table) used in the normal probability state and a jackpot judgment table (high probability jackpot judgment table) used in the high probability state.

  In each jackpot determination table, the judgment value (special symbol random number value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot which is the result of the jackpot determination and the loss. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines whether it is a big hit or a loss by determining the acquired special symbol random number according to the big hit determination table. As shown in FIG. 10A, the special symbol random number judgment value in which the jackpot judgment table for high probability is judged to be a jackpot is set more than the jackpot judgment table for normal probability. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the jackpot.

3-2-2. Big hit symbol type judgment If the result of the big hit judgment is a big hit, the big hit symbol type judgment is for determining the type of big hit symbol (big hit symbol type) according to the big hit symbol type judgment table as shown in FIG. 10 (B) It is a judgment. For each jackpot symbol type, the jackpot components composed of the contents of the jackpot, in other words, the game benefits provided to the player, are associated.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is the type of special symbol that is displayed variably (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the winning that is the cause of the jackpot symbol type determination (winning that generated the jackpot symbol type determination) It is associated with the type of the start port (first start port 11 / second start port 12) in which the second step was performed. That is, in the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type judgment table (first jackpot symbol type judgment table) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot used when performing variable display of the special figure 2 There is a symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, and in each jackpot symbol type determination table, the judgment value (jackpot symbol type random value) of jackpot symbol type random number is distributed to jackpot symbol type which is the result of jackpot symbol type determination There is. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines the type of jackpot symbol by determining the acquired jackpot symbol type random number according to the jackpot symbol type determination table. Then, in the first big hit symbol type determination table and the second big hit symbol type determination table, the big hit symbol type random number values are appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols. In addition, about the distribution ratio of jackpot symbol type, it is possible to change suitably. In addition, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type according to the jackpot symbol type determination for the special figure 1 is 50% for the jackpot symbol A and 50% for the jackpot symbol B. It is possible to make the jackpot symbol C 100% of the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by the jackpot symbol type determination of. In this way, the special hit 1 lottery performed with the game ball in the first start opening 11 and the special view 2 lottery performed with the game ball received in the second start opening 12 It is possible to make the fractions different.

3-2-3. Reach determination reach determination is used to determine whether or not to generate a reach with a special figure fluctuation effect described later according to a reach determination table as shown in FIG. 10C when the result of the big hit determination is a loss. It is a judgment.

  The reach determination table is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the reach determination table, there are a reach determination table (non-short time reach determination table) used when the non-time-short state is present and a reach determination table (time-short reach determination table) used when the time short state. The reach determination table may not be divided for each gaming state.

  In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination values (reach random numbers) are distributed to the reach determination results “reach (generate reach)” and “no reach (do not generate reach)”. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines whether the reach is present or not (whether reach is generated or not) by determining the acquired reach random number according to the reach determination table. As shown in FIG. 10C, the number of reach random numbers determined to be “reach (reach)” differs between the non-time-shortening reach determination table and the time-shortening reach determination table. In addition, it is possible to change suitably about the probability judged to be with reach. In the following, "reach with (reach is generated)" performed on the premise that the result of the jackpot determination is "loss" is referred to as "reach with loss" and "no reach (does not generate reach)" Is sometimes referred to as "no reach lost".

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment, using the fluctuation pattern judgment table (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) of special symbol as shown in Figure 11-Figure 12, the fluctuation pattern (special It is a determination for determining a figure fluctuation pattern), and the result of the jackpot determination is performed in any case of a big hit and a loss. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time, the flow of the special figure fluctuation effect to be described later (content of the effect), and the like. Note that the special figure fluctuation pattern includes identification data on the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination, in addition to the special figure fluctuation time and the special process fluctuation presentation flow (effect contents). The identification information included in the special figure variation pattern can be changed as appropriate. In addition, it is possible to use a plurality of types of special pattern fluctuation patterns each having different identification information as the special pattern fluctuation pattern, and the number can be appropriately changed.

  The special figure fluctuation pattern determination table is the type of special symbol that performs variable display to be determined (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the starting opening on which the winning which is the cause of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed Are associated with each other (first start port 11 / second start port 12). That is, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table includes the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 There is a special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used when performing. In addition, it is not necessary to divide the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table according to the type of special symbol (special figure 1 / special figure 2).

  Each special figure fluctuation pattern determination table is also associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table includes the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table (special pattern 1 non-time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table) used when the non-time-short state is There is a 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table (special pattern 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table for time reduction). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is also used similarly to the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table (time chart for special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table). It should be noted that the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table may not be divided for each gaming state.

  Further, each special view fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state (non-shortening state / shorting state) is further associated with the jackpot determination result and the reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the non-time-shorting special figure 2 variation pattern determination table respectively include one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss. Similarly, in the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-shorting special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table, there are one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss. Note that the special view fluctuation pattern determination table may not be divided according to the jackpot determination result or the reach determination result.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss is also associated with the number of special figure reservations. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach without loss used when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 0-2 and when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 3-4. There is a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for no reach loss. In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss is also associated with the number of special figure reservations. Specifically, when the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 0 to 2, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach-less loss used and the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 3 to 4 There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for no reach loss used in In addition, it is not necessary to divide the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table according to the number of special figure reservations.

  The special view display 81 variably displays a special view of the special view change time according to the special view change pattern determined in each special view change pattern determination. Then, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (the result of the special drawing lottery) in the variable display of the special drawing, the variable display of the next special drawing is not performed immediately, and the big hit game is subsequently executed. Ru.

  Further, each special drawing fluctuation pattern is associated with a special drawing fluctuation presentation flow as shown in the second column from the right of the table of FIGS. 11 to 12. In addition, it is not necessary to associate the special generation | production map production | presentation flow with a special drawing fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the table in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, the special figure variation pattern may be called by a name associated with the special figure (big hit determination result) is there. For example, the special figure variation pattern relating to the jackpot is referred to as "big hit variation". And, in the big hit fluctuation, the special figure fluctuation pattern where SP reach which is a kind of reach is done is called “SP jackpot fluctuation”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern where L reach is conducted is “L jackpot fluctuation” It is said that the special figure fluctuation pattern where special figure fluctuation production ends with N reach is called "N jackpot fluctuation". On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed among the reach loses is called "SP loss fluctuation", and L reach, which is a type of reach, is performed in the reach with loses. The special pattern fluctuation pattern to be said is called "L loss fluctuation", and in the presence of reach, the special figure fluctuation pattern ending with the N map which is a kind of reach is called "N loss fluctuation" In other words, the special pattern fluctuation pattern relating to no reach loss is called "normal loss fluctuation". The normal loss fluctuation includes three types of fluctuation (normal A loss fluctuation, normal B loss fluctuation, and normal C loss fluctuation) having different fluctuation times. When SP jackpot and SP loss fluctuation are generically referred to as SP fluctuation.

3-2-5. Pre-reading Determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination according to a pre-reading determination table as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special-image-related random numbers. The prefetch determination is performed prior to the jackpot determination (specifically, for example, at the time of winning on the starting opening). For the pre-reading determination, for example, it is determined whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be the big hit in the big hit determination, the big hit symbol type random number is the determination of which big hit symbol type is determined in the big hit symbol type determination, For example, it may be determined which special pattern fluctuation pattern is determined as the special pattern fluctuation pattern determination. The pre-reading determination table is associated with the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12) according to the starting winning combination. That is, in the prefetch determination table, a prefetch determination table (first prefetch determination table) when winning at the first starting port 11 and a prefetch determination table (second prefetch determination table) when winning at the second starting port 12 There is. The pre-read determination table may not be divided according to the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12).

  Further, the pre-read determination table is also associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, the pre-reading determination table includes a pre-reading determination table (non-time-shortening pre-reading determination table) used in the non-time-short state and a pre-reading determination table (time-saving pre-reading determination table) used in the time-short state. .

  That is, in the prefetch determination table, a first prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state, a first prefetch determination table used in the time-short state, and a second prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state And a second pre-reading determination table used in the time saving state. The prefetch determination table may not be divided for each gaming state. Moreover, what judgment is included in the pre-reading judgment can be changed as appropriate.

3-3. Jackpot game Next, the jackpot game will be described. In the jackpot game, a plurality of round games involving opening and closing of the big winning opening (the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15), and from the start of the big hit game to the start of the first round game It includes an opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the last round game to the end of the jackpot game. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP and ED. In addition, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is only called "round" below. For example, the first round game is called "one round (1R)", and the tenth round game is called "10 round (10R)".

  The elements constituting such a big hit game (big hit game components) include the number of round games, the number of times the big winning opening (first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15) in each round game open, The type and opening time of the big winning opening where each opening is performed, the time to close to the next opening (closing time), the opening time (opening time), and the ending time (ending time) are included. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game according to the jackpot game control table as shown in FIG. 14 after the stop display of the special view.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game (for example, for each jackpot game AC). In each jackpot game, the round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens up to 29.5 seconds from 1R to 15R, or the round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens up to 0.1 seconds , Will be done. And in the 16R (final round), the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, or the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 0.1 seconds, To be done. In each round game, when the predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the large winning opening sensors 14a and 15a, it is before the maximum opening time of the large winning openings 14 and 15 elapses. Even end the round game.

  In addition, jackpot game A shown in FIG. 14 is executed when the type of jackpot symbol won is jackpot symbol A (see FIG. 10 (B)), jackpot game B, jackpot symbol type won is a jackpot symbol It is executed when it is B, and the jackpot game C can be configured to be executed when the type of the jackpot symbol that has won is the jackpot symbol C.

  Also, the number and time of each jackpot game component can be changed as appropriate. It is also possible to play the jackpot game using both the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 or only one of them. If only the first large winning opening 14 is used to play a big hit game or if the second large winning opening 15 is only used to play a big hit game, the large winning opening not used is not provided It may be Also, the types of jackpot games that can be performed may be multiple types or one type.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. The specific area 16 is in the closed state where it is impossible to win and the open state where it is possible to win by the distribution member 16k, so the operation mode of the distribution member 16k can be said as the open / close mode of the specific area 16. In the following, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as "opening / closing mode of the specific area 16". Further, the fact that the specific area 16 is in the open state is also referred to as "V open", and the fact that the specific area 16 is in the closed state is also referred to as "V close".

  The distribution member 16k is controlled in a fixed operation mode (that is, the specific area 16 is controlled in a fixed opening and closing manner). For example, the distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big winning opening 15 is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second big winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second big winning opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15, and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and Because of the relationship with timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). In this manner, the game ball is determined as a specific area in the big hit game by a combination of the fixed operation mode of the sorting member 16k (the fixed open and closed mode of the specific area 16) and the open and closed mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the big hit game. It is possible to set the difficulty (easiness) of making 16 enter.

  It should be noted that during the big hit game, the VAT opening and closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k are activated in the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) in which passage of the specific area 16 of the gaming ball (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") is easy. A jackpot that is called "V long jackpot" is a jackpot in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in a second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which passage of the game ball into the specific area 16 is impossible or difficult. Is called "V short jackpot".

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. Pachinko gaming machines PY1 are, as shown in FIG. 15, "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state", "high probability high base gaming state" and " It is possible to make it into any game state of "the jackpot game state". In addition, "low probability low base gaming state""low probability low base state", "low probability high base gaming state""low probability high base state", "high probability low base gaming state""high probability "Low base state" and "high probability high base gaming state" may be abbreviated as "high probability high base state". As a state constituting the gaming state, there are a state relating to the probability of being judged as a "big hit" in the big hit determination and a state relating to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, as the latter, there are a non-time-short state and a time-short state.

  The normal probability state is set in the “low probability low base gaming state” or the “low probability high base gaming state”, and is a state in which the probability that it is determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination is a normal probability. The high probability state is set in the “high probability low base gaming state” or the “high probability high base gaming state”, and is a state in which the probability of being judged as a jackpot by jackpot determination is a high probability higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high probability state is a gaming state more advantageous to the player than the normal probability state. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the normal probability state is set. Then, by winning the jackpot, it is possible to switch from the normal probability state to the high probability state. For example, it is possible to switch to the high probability state by the game ball passing through the specific area 16 in the jackpot game. It is also possible to switch to the high probability state depending on the type of jackpot symbol. Whether the timing of switching to the high probability state is V passage or the type of jackpot symbol may be appropriately determined in accordance with the game property to be realized. In the high probability state, it is possible to switch from the high probability state to the normal probability state by performing the jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning the jackpot, or by winning the next jackpot.

  The non-short time state is set in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "high probability low base gaming state" or the "big hit gaming state". The time saving state is set in the “low probability high base gaming state” or “high probability high base gaming state”, and the gaming state in which the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than the non time saving state. It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.0 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric tube 12D in the non-short time state. Further, in the time saving state, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed according to the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table which is set such that selection of the special figure fluctuation pattern having a short special figure fluctuation time is greater than in the non-time short state. (Refer FIG. 11-FIG. 12). As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of the special figure reserve is increased, and a valid winning to the starting opening (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reserve) is easily generated. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

  In addition, the time saving state tends to have a common spread fluctuation time shorter than the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, a spread time (5 seconds) shorter than the spread time (30 seconds) determined in the non-short state is determined (FIG. 9 (B)). Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of times the common drawing lottery is executed per unit time is more.

  Further, the time saving state is more likely to be determined as a hit in the hit determination than in the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, the hit is determined with a probability (eg, 59936/65536) higher than the probability (eg, 6600/65536) determined to be a hit in the non-time-shortened state (FIG. 9A). Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of times it is determined to be a hit in the hit determination per unit time is more.

  As described above, in the time saving state, the open time of the electric chow 12D per unit time is longer than that in the non-time saving state, and the gaming ball is more likely to win frequently to the second starting opening 12. As a result, the base which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls becomes high. Therefore, in the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of gaming balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time saving state is a gaming state more advantageous to the player than the non-time saving state.

  When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the non-short time state is set. Then, for example, the time saving state can be set by winning the jackpot. In the time saving state, it is possible to change from the time saving state to the non-time saving state by performing the jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning in the jackpot, or winning in the next jackpot.

  In the time saving state, compared to the non-time saving state, it is easy to win a hit, the spread map fluctuation time is easily shortened, and the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be long. That is, the player is set in an advantageous manner in three points regarding the game according to the common drawing. However, points set to be advantageous to the player may be part of these. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table in the time saving state may not be easier to select the special figure fluctuation pattern having a shorter special figure fluctuation time than that in the non-time short state.

  The gaming state after the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time is the "low probability low base gaming state" in which the normal probability state and the non-short time state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as "normal gaming state". In the "big hit gaming state", the regular drawing lottery (criking judgment on the common drawing) is performed but the special drawing lottery (hiking judgment) is not performed, so the non-short time status is set with the start of the jackpot Ru. Further, with regard to the gaming state, it is possible to use all or only a part of the gaming states described above. In addition, various game states described in this specification can be arbitrarily expressed in the form of "n-th game state" (n is an integer of 1 or more).

4. Next, main effects performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The effect mode is a division of the effect (or an upper conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability change effect mode, a time reduction effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as an effect mode.

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure fluctuation effects are performed in "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state" and "high probability high base gaming state" This is an effect mode that can be set when there is no, and in a standby state in which the special image variation effect is not performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-1), a customer waiting demonstration moving image G100 for introducing a pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. When the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration moving image G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-2), a setting screen G101 for setting for the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. The setting relating to the effect includes volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, luminance setting of the display unit 50a, frequency setting of the effect to be executed, and the like.

  The normal effect mode can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is being performed in the "low probability low base gaming state" or the "high probability low base gaming state", and is an effect mode indicating that the non-time-saving state is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-1), a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime background image for normal use G102) indicating the daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a 16 (B-2), and a second normal effect mode in which a background image (a background image G103 for the evening normal) representing the view of the mountain in the evening is displayed on the display 50a as shown in FIG. 16 (B-2); As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (Night normal background image G104) representing a view of a mountain at night is displayed on the display unit 50a. It can be switched as one condition that one or more special image variation effects are performed. Furthermore, in each of the first to third normal rendering modes, there are a normal front stage rendering mode before reaching reach and a normal rear stage rendering mode after reaching reach in the special figure fluctuation presentation. In the normal front effect mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103 and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the normal rear effect mode, the type is reach. A dedicated background image is displayed. Also, a special effect mode may be provided which is set only in the "high probability low base gaming state".

  The probability change effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure change effect is performed in the “high probability and high base gaming state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the state is a high probability state and a short time state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-4), a background image (positive variation background image G105) representing a space is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, in the special variation variation production mode, there are a second variation production mode before the reach is established and a second variation production mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation presentation. Although the background image for definite variation G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a in the first stage effect mode, the dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed in the second stage effect mode.

  The time-saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "low probability high base gaming state", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a normal probability state and a time-saving state. In the time reduction rendering mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-5), a background image (time reduction background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, in the time reduction rendering mode, there are a time reduction preceding rendering mode before reaching reach and a time shortening later rendering mode after reaching. In the short front-side effect mode, the time-shortening background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a. However, in the time-short rear-side effect mode, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being performed in the "jackpot game state", and is an effect mode that indicates that the jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-1), in the display unit 50a, an opening image G107 indicating the start of the jackpot game and a right prompting “right strike” A jackpot opening effect in which the beating image G108 is displayed is performed. During the round in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-2), the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls paid out. The round effect is performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3), in the display unit 50a, suggesting the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game, and the number of total prize balls paid out A jackpot ending effect is performed in which a winning prize ball number image G112 is displayed.

  In addition, about the kind of production mode, it is possible to change or add suitably.

4-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, special figure fluctuation production (also simply referred to as "variation production") will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the variable display of the special drawing, the special drawing fluctuation pattern and the special drawing lottery result (big hit judgment result, big hit symbol type judgment result, reach judgment result, and The special figure fluctuation presentation is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result) and the like. In the special figure change effect, variable display of the effect pattern is performed on the predetermined background image in the display unit 50a. In the fluctuation display of the production design, it stops after the production design fluctuates. That is, after the special view fluctuation time and the fluctuation display of the effect pattern are performed, the fluctuation stops and the stop display of the effect pattern is performed. Then, the result of the special drawing lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect symbol.

  In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production, in addition to the fluctuation display of production design, various such as image display 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, movable devices 55, 56, 58, normal button 40, special button 41 etc. It is possible to perform other renderings using a variety of rendering devices. In this case, it is possible to continue performing other effects even after the stop display of the effect symbols.

4-2-1. In the display portion 50a of the image display device 50, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left portion, the center, and the right side are obtained by dividing the display portion 50a into three in the horizontal direction substantially equally. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect pattern area 50b2, and a right effect pattern area 50b3. The left effect pattern area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect pattern EZ1 at the time of the stop display of the effect pattern in the special figure variation effect. Similarly, the middle effect pattern area 50b2 and the right effect pattern area 50b3 are areas for displaying the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 17 (A), it is possible to provide the small symbol area | region 50c in one division of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end part of the display part 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the variable display of the special figure is performed.

  In FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol area 50b1, the middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are clearly indicated by the two-dot chain line, but this is the left effect symbol area 50b1. , The middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are described to represent the range, and are not actually displayed. Further, the range of each area can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-2. Normal fluctuation The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform normal fluctuation first in the special figure fluctuation effect. The normal fluctuation functions as an effect that indicates that the variable display of the special view has been started.

  When the variable display of the special view is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, in the display unit 50a, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed, The left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the variable display of the special view is not performed, and the special view is waiting for variable display, as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, at the same time as the start, the variable display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. Then, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of this special view is, for example, “normal loss change”, as shown in FIG. 17 (C-1), the left presentation design EZ1 and the right presentation design EZ3 are different. After temporary stop in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17 (D), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 stop display in the stop mode (so-called loose eyes) suggesting a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also simultaneously displayed in a stop mode that suggests a loss. On the other hand, in the case of the special figure fluctuation pattern with reach such as “N lost fluctuation”, for example, as shown in FIG. 17 (C-2), in the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure, And the right effect pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode, and reach is established. At this time, the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special pattern fluctuation pattern is performed. In addition, it is possible to change suitably the stop order and stop mode of production | design pattern EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

4-2-3. N reach Pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N reach when reach is established in normal fluctuation. The N reach is an effect that suggests that the result of the jackpot determination may have been a "big hit", and functions as a effect for making a player expect a jackpot.

  In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18A, the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18B, the fluctuation speed of the middle effect pattern EZ2 gradually Slow down. Then, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is, for example, “N loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 18 (C-1), the effect is produced in the stop mode (so-called loose eyes) suggesting the loss. The symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 stop display. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also simultaneously displayed in a stop mode that suggests a loss. On the other hand, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is, for example, “N jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 18 (C-2), stop in the stop mode (so-called Zoro eyes) that suggests a big hit indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also displayed in a stop at the same time in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. In addition, the content of the effect of N reach is not limited to that the middle effect pattern EZ2 is gradually decelerated, and can be appropriately changed or added.

  In addition, regarding stop modes of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 that suggest a loss, the balach eye when the reach is not established is referred to as the "non-reach balach eye", and the balach eye when the reach is established is referred to as the "reach balach eye". . How to make the combination of each effect design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 that composes the non-reach loose eye (for example, "2.3.1", "5/8, 6 etc."), and each that composes the reach loose eye It is selected by the effect control microcomputer 121 how the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is to be made (for example, “2 · 1 · 2” or “5 · 4 · 5” or the like). In addition, how to make the combination of each effect design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 which constitutes the stop mode (Zoro eyes) which suggests a big hit (for example, "2.2.2", "7. 7, 7", etc.) Is selected by the effect control microcomputer 121 based on the type of the jackpot symbol that has won.

4-2-4. SP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the jackpot determination result is “big hit” is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a jackpot.

  In the SP reach, as shown in FIG. 19A, for example, a background image (SP reach background image G113) for SP reach is displayed on the display unit 50a after N reach, and the SP at the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 indicating that the reach has been started is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (B), an effect for SP reach only (for example, battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP reach-only effect is reached, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-1), the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “SP jackpot fluctuation”. In 50a, a presentation that suggests a big hit (for example, a display in which a main character (friend character) wins a battle and stands in a standing position) is performed, and a stop mode (so-called a so-called suggestion symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a big hit) Stop display at Zoro eyes). At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also displayed in a stop at the same time in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. On the other hand, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is, for example, “SP loss change”, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-2), an effect that suggests a loss (for example, the enemy character is in battle In addition to the display in which the player is victorious and standing in the middle) is performed, the display is stopped and displayed in a stop mode (so-called loose eyes) indicating that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are missing. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also simultaneously displayed in a stop mode that suggests a loss. In addition, it is possible to change or add suitably the presentation content of SP reach.

  Here, the possibility that the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach may be stopped in a manner showing a big hit (big hit expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot decision. For example, the execution probability of N reach is 10% if the result of the big hit judgment is "losing" and 100% if the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit", the execution probability of the SP reach is big hit judgment If the result of “No” is 4%, and the result of the big hit judgment is “big hit”, 100%, set the SP reach jackpot expectation higher than the N reach jackpot expectation It is possible. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is "loss", and the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit" If the execution probability of SP reach B is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is “losing” and 30% if the result of the big hit judgment is “big hit”, then It is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach B higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach A. As described above, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

4-2-5. L reach Pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform L reach after N reach. The L reach is a production that suggests that the possibility that the drawing result of the special drawing lottery was a “big hit” is lower than the SP reach but higher than the N reach, and is a production for making the player expect a big hit Act as. In addition, the execution time of the reach effect of L reach is shorter than the effect time of the reach effect of SP reach (FIG. 11 and FIG. 12). Therefore, in the reach effect of L reach, for example, a moving image shorter than the reach effect of SP reach is displayed on the display unit 50a. In addition, the content of the reach effect of L reach can be changed suitably. Moreover, you may provide the special figure fluctuation pattern by which the reach production of SP reach is performed developmentally after the reach production of L reach.

4-3. Hold Icon Display Area As shown in FIG. 20A, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 can be provided with a hold icon display area 50d consisting of four display areas. The reserved icon display area 50d is composed of a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3 and a fourth display area 50d4, and each of them is selected according to the special view 1 reserve count or the special view 2 reserve count. It is possible to display the hold icon HA in the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3 and 50d4. For example, when the special drawing 1 holding number is "1", the holding icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special drawing 1 holding number is "2", the first display area 50d1 and the first display area 50d1 are displayed. The hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 20A, the icon display area 50e consisting of one display area can be provided in the vicinity of the reserved icon display area 50d. The icon display area 50e can display the icon TA, which is the same as or different from the hold icon HA, in response to the start of the special figure change effect.

  The number of display areas constituting the reserved icon display area 50d can be changed as appropriate. In addition, it is possible to set the reserved icon display area 50d as a display area for displaying both the number of special views 1 suspension and the number of special views 2 suspension or as a display area for displaying only one of them. In addition, it is possible to provide the reserved icon display area 50d but not the icon display area 50e, or to not provide both.

4-3-1. Hold Effect The pachinko gaming machine PY 1 can perform hold effect in response to the game ball winning in the first start hole 11 or the second start hole 12. The holding effect can notify the player of the number of special drawing 1 holding or special drawing 2 holding.

  In the hold effect, when the gaming ball wins the first starting hole 11 when the number of special drawing 1 hold is "0", the special view fluctuation effect is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), the icon The icon TA is displayed in the display area 50e. Then, when two more game balls win the first starting hole 11 during the special figure fluctuation effect, as shown in FIG. 20C, the first display area 50d1 and the second display area 50d of the reserved icon display area 50d A reserve icon HA is displayed at 50d2, and the player is notified that the special view 1 reserve number is "2". After that, when the special figure fluctuation production ends and a new special figure fluctuation production is started, as shown in FIG. 20 (D), the holding icon displayed in the first display area 50d1 of the holding icon display area 50d The HA is moved to the icon display area 50e and displayed as the icon TA, and the hold icon HA displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the hold icon display area 50d is moved to the first display area 50d1 and displayed. The player is notified that the special drawing 1 holding number is “1”.

4-4. Notice Production The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform notice production at any timing during the special figure variation production. The notice effect is an effect using the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the input device (the normal button 40, the special button 41), etc. It is possible to suggest the result or the result of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination.

4-4-1. Movable-body production The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform movable-body production using movable devices 55, 56, and 58 as advance announcement effects. The movable body effect is an effect of operating the movable devices 55, 56, and 58, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a jackpot.

  In the movable body effect, for example, when developing from N reach to SP reach, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), the on-board movable device 55 and the on-board movable device 56 operate to move the on-board movable body 55k and the board. It is suggested that the lower movable body 56k moves so as to overlap on the display unit 50a and develops into the SP reach. At this time, an effect image is displayed in a space not overlapping the on-board movable body 55k and the on-board movable body 56k of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21B, the on-board movable body 55k and the on-board movable body 56k return to the normal standby state (initial position) and develop into the SP reach. This movable body effect is an example of the development effect. In addition, about movable body production, it is not restricted to the development suggestion to SP reach, and it is possible to change or add suitably. Further, the operation content of the movable device in the movable body effect can be appropriately changed or added. In addition, when the effect does not develop (for example, in the case of N loss fluctuation), it is also possible to perform movable object effect as so-called squeeze effect.

4-4-2. Operation Effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform an operation effect using the normal button 40 and the special button 41 as the advance effect. The operation effect is an effect of causing the player to operate the normal button 40 and the special button 41, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In the operation effect, for example, a period (operation effective period) in which the pressing operation of the input device (special button 41) is effective occurs in the SP reach, and as shown in FIG. Thus, an effect (operation promotion effect) for urging the operation of the special button 41 is performed. In the operation promotion effect, the operation promotion image G3 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Operation promotion image G3 is an image simulating special button 41 (special button image G31), an image representing the operation mode of special button 41 (that is, pressing operation) (pressing operation image G32), and the remaining time of the operation valid period And an image representing the operation effective period remaining time image G33). The operation valid period remaining time image G33 is composed of a roughly curved progress bar, and changes with the passage of time so that the player can easily understand the remaining time of the operation valid period. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22B, when the special button 41 is pressed in the operation valid period or after the operation valid period has elapsed without the special button 41 being operated in the operation valid period. The on-board movable device 55 is activated, and the on-board movable body 55k moves so as to overlap on the display unit 50a, suggesting a jackpot expectation. The operation effect is not limited to the operation of the on-board movable device 55, and can be appropriately changed or added.

4-4-3. Pre-reading effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform pre-reading effect for the special figure 1 suspension or the special figure 2 suspension, in which the special figure lottery is not performed, as the preliminary announcement effect. The pre-reading effect functions as an effect for suggesting the lottery result of the special drawing lottery for the special drawing 1 holding or the special drawing 2 holding in advance.

  In the pre-reading effect, for example, when the result of the pre-reading determination for the special figure 1 hold is "big hit", as shown in FIG. 20C, the hold icon HA normally displayed as "で" in the hold icon display area 50d. May be displayed as "☆". In addition, when the result of the pre-reading determination is “missing”, the hold icon HA may be displayed as “☆” as so-called “gasse effect”. In addition, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect on both or one of the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve. Further, the present invention is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, and can be appropriately changed or added.

5. Control of the Game by the Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, buffers, and the like that appear in the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

[1. Main control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 is powered on, the gaming control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads out and executes the program of the main control main processing shown in FIG. 23 from the gaming ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, permission setting for access to the game RAM 104, setting of the game CPU 102, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), and the like are performed.

  Next to the power-on process, the interrupt is inhibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of the various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are incremented by one and updated. When the upper limit value is reached, the counter value of each random number is returned to "0" and added again. The initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than “0”, or may be randomly changed. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is finished, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, execution of the main timer interrupt process (S005) is possible. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, in a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed in a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main side timer interrupt process (S005) is finished and before the main side timer interrupt process (S005) is started next, various patterns by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) The process of updating the counter value of the random number is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 while the interrupt is disabled, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is permitted (S004).

[2. Main timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main timer interrupt process (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), an output process (S101) is first executed. In the output process (S101), a command or the like set in an output buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104 of the main control board 100 in each process described below is output to the sub control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

  In the input process (S102) performed subsequent to the output process (S101), the gaming control microcomputer 101 takes in, for example, a detection signal from the lower plate full switch for detecting the lower plate 35 full, and plays the game as lower plate full data. It stores in the output buffer of RAM104.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) performed in the main control main processing of FIG. That is, the updating process of the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and the other period (main timer interrupt process After the end of S005), it is performed both in the period until the next main timer interrupt processing (S005) is started.

  After the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), then performs a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106) Do. The sensor detection process, the normal operation process and the special operation process will be described later.

  Next to the special operation process (S106), a distribution apparatus control process for controlling the distribution apparatus 16D is performed (S107). The distribution device 16D is operated when a special game using the second big winning device 15D is performed. However, the distribution device 16D may be operated in a constant operation at all times after the power is turned on.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108), and ends the main timer interrupt processing (S005). As the other process (S108), a power-off monitoring process when the power is shut off, update of a timer provided in the game RAM 104, and the like are performed. Further, as another process (S108), a payout control process of paying out a prize ball to the player is performed. In the payout control process, a winning ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 in accordance with the winning of the gaming ball to each winning opening. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out the winning balls based on the winning ball request signal.

  Then, the gaming control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main processing (see FIG. 23) until the next interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 (see FIG. 23), and the interrupt pulse is input. And (after about 4 msec), the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed again. The game control microcomputer 101 executes the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main timer interrupt process (S005) in the output process (S101) of the main timer interrupt process (S005) executed again. Output etc.

[2-1. Sensor detection process]
In the sensor detection process (S104), general winning opening sensor processing, gate sensor processing, second starting opening sensor processing, first starting opening sensor processing, first large winning opening sensor processing, second large winning opening sensor processing, specific area Perform sensor processing sequentially. Then, the command generated in each process is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

  In the general winning opening sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the general winning opening sensor 10a. Further, in accordance with the result of the process, a general winning opening sensor command is generated.

  In the gate sensor process, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the gate sensor 13a. If it is determined that the game ball has been detected, an ordinary symbol random number indicated by the counter value of the ordinary symbol random number counter is acquired, and the acquired ordinary symbol random number is stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106 provided in the gaming RAM 104 . When a predetermined number (for example, four) of normal symbol random numbers are stored in common drawing reserve storage unit 106, the newly acquired normal symbol random numbers are not stored. Also, a gate sensor command is generated according to the result of the process.

  In the second starting opening sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the second starting opening sensor 12a. When it is determined that the gaming ball is detected, the special figure 2 related random number including the special symbol random number counter, the big hit symbol type random number counter, the reach random number counter and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number counter is acquired and acquired Are stored in the special view 2 reserve storage unit 105 b provided in the game RAM 104. The special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105b has a plurality of storage areas from the first area to the n-th area (n is an integer of 2 or more, for example, "4"). The areas are stored in order. When the special figure 2 related random number is stored up to the n-th area, the newly obtained special figure 2 related random number is not stored. Also, the second prefetch determination is performed using the acquired special view 2 related random number and the second prefetch determination table (see FIG. 13). Also, according to the result of the process, the special figure 2 pending number command representing the number of special figure 2 related random numbers (special figure 2 pending number) stored in the special figure 2 pending storage unit 105 b A command for the second starting opening sensor including a second starting winning command representing the result is generated.

  In the first starting opening sensor process, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the first starting opening sensor 11a. When it is determined that the game ball is detected, the special figure 1 related random number including the special symbol random number counter, the big hit symbol type random number counter, the reach random number counter and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number counter is acquired and acquired Are stored in the special view 1 suspension storage unit 105 a provided in the game RAM 104. The special figure 1 reserve storage unit 105a has a plurality of storage areas from the first area to the nth area (n is an integer of 2 or more, for example, "4"), and the acquired special figure 1 relation random number is The areas are stored in order. When the special figure 1 related random number is stored up to the n-th area, the newly obtained special figure 1 related random number is not stored. Further, the first prefetch determination is performed using the acquired special map 1 related random number and the first prefetch determination table (see FIG. 13). Also, according to the result of the processing, the special figure 1 pending number command representing the number of special figure 1 related random numbers (special figure 1 pending number) stored in the special figure 1 pending storage unit 105 a and the first prefetch determination A command for the first starting opening sensor including a first starting winning command representing a result is generated.

  In the first large winning opening sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball is detected by the first large winning opening sensor 14a. Further, a command for the first special winning opening sensor according to the result of the processing is generated.

  In the second large winning opening sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the second large winning opening sensor 15a. Further, a command for the second big winning opening sensor according to the result of the process is generated.

  In the specific area sensor process, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the specific area sensor 16a. In addition, a specific area sensor command is generated according to the result of the process.

[2-2. Normal operation processing]
In the normal operation process (S105), the normal symbol standby process, the normal symbol variation process, the normal symbol determination process, and the auxiliary game control process are sequentially performed. Then, the command generated in each process is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

  The normal symbol standby process is a process performed while the variable display of the common drawing and the auxiliary game are not performed. In the normal symbol standby process, the hit determination is performed based on the normal symbol random number stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106. Further, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination is performed based on the current gaming state to determine the common drawing fluctuation pattern. Then, a common drawing fluctuation start command including information on the result of the hit determination and the common drawing fluctuation pattern is generated. Then, based on the common drawing fluctuation time associated with the determined common drawing fluctuation pattern, the common drawing indicator 82 starts variable display of the common drawing.

  Normal symbol variation processing is processing performed during variable display of a common figure. In the normal symbol variation processing, the stop display of the common drawing is performed based on the hit determination result in response to the common drawing change time having elapsed since the variable display of the common drawing in progress is started. Then, a common drawing fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the common drawing is generated.

  The normal symbol determination process is a process performed when the ordinary drawing is stopped and displayed. In the normal symbol determination process, when the predetermined stop time (for example, 0.8 seconds) elapses from the start of the stop display of the common drawing under execution, the common drawing being stopped is hit and the symbol is displayed. Determine if there is. If the hit symbol indicates stop display, the auxiliary game is started based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table, and an auxiliary game start command indicating the start of the auxiliary game is generated.

  The auxiliary game control process is a process performed when an auxiliary game is being performed. In the auxiliary game control process, the auxiliary game is controlled based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table. Further, in accordance with the result of the processing, a command for auxiliary game control is generated.

If the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol type determination is performed to determine the type of jackpot symbol using the jackpot symbol type random number of special figure 2 related random numbers and the special figure 2 jackpot symbol type determination table . Then, a symbol designation command representing the determined jackpot symbol type is generated. If the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, a symbol designating command representing the loss is generated. A plurality of types of lost may be provided, and if the result of the big hit determination is a loss, the type of lost symbol may be determined. In this case, the symbol designation command may include information indicating the type of lost symbol.

  The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination process is a process performed after the special figure 2 determination process. In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination process, the special figure variation pattern random number among the special figure 2 related random numbers stored in the first area of the special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105b and the special figure 2 according to the current gaming state The special pattern 2 variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern determination table. In the special view 2 fluctuation pattern determination process when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, the reach determination is performed, and the special view 2 fluctuation pattern is determined according to the result of the reach determination. The determination of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is also associated with the number of special figure 2 related random numbers (special figure 2 pending number) stored in the special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105b. Then, a special figure 2 variation start command representing the determined special figure 2 variation pattern is generated. The special figure 2 fluctuation start command is associated with information about being special figure 2, information about the result of big hit judgment, information about the result of big hit symbol type judgment, information about result of reach judgment, special figure 2 fluctuation pattern The information on the special map fluctuation time is included. Then, the special view 2 display 81b starts variable display of the special view 2 based on the special view change time associated with the determined special view 2 change pattern.

  The special figure 2 reserve storage unit shift process is a process performed when the special figure 2 determination process and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination process are performed. In the special figure 2 reserve storage section shift processing, the special figure 2 related random number stored in the special figure 2 reserve storage section 105b is shifted by 1 toward the first area side, and the special figure 2 relevant random number for the first area is Clear from the holding storage unit 105b. Thus, the special figure 2 related random number is digested in the order of acquisition. Then, a special figure 2 pending number command representing the special figure 2 pending number after the processing is generated.

  In the special figure 1 determination process, using the special symbol random number of the special figure 1 related random numbers stored in the first area of the special figure 1 suspension storage unit 105a and the jackpot determination table according to the current gaming state A jackpot determination is performed to determine whether the jackpot is a big hit or a loss. If the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol type determination is performed to determine the type of jackpot symbol using the jackpot symbol type random number in the special figure 1 relationship random number and the special figure 1 jackpot symbol type determination table . Then, a symbol designation command representing the determined jackpot symbol type is generated. If the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, a symbol designating command representing the loss is generated. A plurality of types of lost may be provided, and if the result of the big hit determination is a loss, the type of lost symbol may be determined. In this case, the symbol designation command may include information indicating the type of lost symbol.

  The special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process is a process performed after the special figure 1 determination process. In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process, the special figure fluctuation pattern random number among the special figure 1 related random numbers stored in the first area of the special figure 1 reserve storage unit 105a and the special figure 1 according to the current gaming state The special pattern 1 variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern determination table. In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, the reach determination is made, and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined according to the result of the reach determination. The determination of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is also associated with the number of special figure 1 related random numbers stored in the special figure 1 reserve storage unit 105a (the special figure 1 reserve number). And the special figure 1 fluctuation start command showing the judged special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is generated. The special figure 1 fluctuation start command is associated with information about being special figure 1, information about the result of big hit judgment, information about the result of big hit symbol type judgment, information about result of reach judgment, special figure 1 fluctuation pattern The information on the special map fluctuation time is included. Then, the variable display of the special view 1 is started on the special view 1 display 81 a based on the special view change time associated with the determined special view 1 change pattern.

  The special figure 1 reserve storage unit shift process is a process that is performed when the special figure 1 determination process and the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process are performed. In the special figure 1 reserve storage unit shift process, the special figure 1 related random number stored in the special figure 1 reserve storage unit 105a is shifted by one toward the first area side, and the special figure 1 relevant random number for the first area is Clear from the holding storage unit 105a in FIG. In this way, the special figure 1 related random numbers are digested in the order of acquisition. Then, a special figure 1 pending number command representing the special figure 1 pending number after the processing is generated.

  In addition, when there are both the special figure 2 reservation number and the special figure 1 reservation number, the special figure 2 determination processing is preferentially performed, and the variable display of the special figure 2 and the variable display of the special figure 1 are in parallel. It does not happen.

2-3-2. Special symbol variation processing]
Special symbol variation processing is processing that is performed during variable display of a special drawing. In the special symbol variation processing, in response to the passage of the special figure variation time, the special view display 81 terminates the variable display of the special figure and causes the special figure according to the result of the jackpot determination to be stopped and displayed. If the result of the big hit determination is a big hit, the big hit symbol indicating the big hit is stopped and displayed, and if the result of the big hit determination is a loss, a lost symbol indicating a loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special view fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable view of the special view is generated.

2-3-3. Special symbol confirmation process]
The special symbol determination process is a process performed when the special view is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol determination process, when the special view currently displayed with a stop is a big hit symbol, it is shifted to the big hit gaming state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command includes information on the result of jackpot symbol type determination. Further, when the special view currently displayed stopped is a lost symbol and the high probability state is ended, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high probability end command indicating transition to the normal probability state is generated. Also, when the special view currently displayed stopped is a lost symbol and the time saving state is ended, the non-time saving state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating transition to the non-time saving state is generated. In addition, when the special figure currently displayed with a stop is a lost design, and the special figure 2 reserve number and the special figure 1 reserve number are "0", the customer wait which shows that pachinko game machine PY1 is in standby state Generate a command

2-3-4. Jackpot game control process]
The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot gaming state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is performed according to the jackpot game control table. After the transition to the jackpot gaming state, each round game is started depending on the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. In addition, ending is started according to ending the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information on the result of the jackpot symbol type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the gaming state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. In the case of limiting the duration of the high probability state, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of times of variable display of the special view in which the high probability state can be continued without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a high probability setting command indicating the setting of the high probability state is generated. Further, when changing from the non-time saving state to the time saving state, the time saving state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. When limiting the duration of the time saving state, the duration of the time saving state (for example, the number of times of the variable display of the special view in which the time saving state can be continued without winning the jackpot) is also set. Then, a time saving setting command indicating the setting of the time saving state is generated.

  The commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Control of Effect by the Effect Control Microcomputer 121 Next, control of effect by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described based on FIG. 25 to FIG. A counter, a timer, a flag, a buffer, and the like appearing in the following description of control of effects by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out the program of the sub control main processing shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it. As shown in the figure, in the sub control main process, first, a power on process according to the power on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the effect CPU 122, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, the interrupt is inhibited (S4002), and the random number update process is executed (S4003). In the random number update process (S4003), values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determination regarding various effects are updated. The method of updating the effect determination random number counter for various effects can be, for example, the same method as the random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above. The random number value may be added by two instead of one by one when updating. The same applies to the random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  When the random number update process is completed, a command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 which has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (performs various effects by the image). The sub control board 120 causes the speaker 52 to output sound (performs various sound effects by sound) or performs lamp control, along with various effects performed by the image control board 140. The frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made to emit light through the circuit 151 (to execute various light emission effects by light emission), or the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are operated (to perform various movable object effects by operation) Do) In this way, various effects (special image variation effects, hold effects, operation effects, preview effects, jackpot game effects, customer waiting effects, effect mode control, etc.) are realized.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 permits an interrupt (S4005). After that, step S4002 to step S4005 are looped. While interrupts are permitted, execution of reception interrupt processing (S4010), 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4011), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4012) is possible.

  The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the effect control microcomputer 121 stores various commands received and received by the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124. This reception interrupt process is executed prior to other interrupt processes (S4011, S4012).

[2.1 ms timer interrupt processing]
The 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of 1 msec cycle is input to the sub control board 120. In the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, an input process (S4101), a light emission data output process (S4102), a movable device control process (S4103), and a watchdog timer process (S4104) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit operable by the player such as the normal button detection switch 40a or the special button detection switch 41a is detected, and a command is set or effect data is created according to the detection result. In the light emission data output process, the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made to emit light at timings suitable for the effect by the image based on the effect data created by the input process and the effect data creation process described later. The light emission data is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54 and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, based on the data for presentation created by the input process and the effect data creation process described later, the movable object presentation is performed to operate the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, 58 at a predetermined timing. Drive data is output. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs movable body effect to operate the movable devices 55, 56, 58, etc. in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In watchdog timer processing, reset setting of the watchdog timer is performed.

[3.10 ms timer interrupt processing]
The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4012) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of 10 msec cycle is input to the sub control board 120. In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4012), as shown in FIG. 27, received command analysis process (S4201), effect timer update process (S4202), voice control process (S4203), and effect data creation process (S4204) are sequentially performed .

  In the reception command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 by the reception interrupt process (S4010) is analyzed, and a process according to the command (for example, selection of effect, setting of effect mode, setting of command, etc.) I do. In the effect timer update process, the timer for measuring the time concerning each effect is updated. For example, in the effect timer update process, the start timing and the end timing of the operation valid period of the operation unit such as the normal button 40 or the special button 41 are measured. In the voice control process, creation of voice data (data for controlling the output of voice from the speaker 52) and output to the voice control circuit 161 are performed based on the processing result of the input process and the received command analysis process. In the effect data creation process, the effect data is created based on the processing result of the reception command analysis process.

  Here, an example of processing performed when the effect control microcomputer 121 receives a command from the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The command received by the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure fluctuation start command (a special figure 1 fluctuation start command or a special figure 2 fluctuation start command). If the effect control microcomputer 121 determines in the received command analysis process (S4201) that the special figure change start command is received, it is processed as a change start command reception time based on the special figure change pattern indicated by the command. The effect pattern (sub variation pattern) of the special figure variation effect is selected, the information of the sub variation pattern is set, and the variation presentation start command including the information of the sub variation pattern is set in the output buffer. For example, if the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure fluctuation start command is SP fluctuation (SP jackpot fluctuation or SP lost fluctuation), select a sub fluctuation pattern for performing SP reach, and start fluctuation presentation corresponding to the sub fluctuation pattern Set command in output buffer. Thereafter, each process (command transmission process (S4004), light emission data output process (S4102), movable device control process (S4103), voice control process (S4203), etc.) is executed to cope with the selected sub variation pattern. Special figure fluctuation production is realized. In addition, the flow of processing relating to the realization of such effects is basically the same for other effects such as a jackpot game effect, customer waiting effect, pre-reading effect, and so-called notice effect accompanying the fluctuation.

7. Feature part of pachinko gaming machine PY1 Hereinafter, the feature part of pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described in detail. In addition, one of the characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in the effect during the jackpot game.

  First, the jackpot game that can be executed by the gaming control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 can execute various jackpot games (jackpot games 1 to 4) shown in the jackpot game control table of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 28, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 1 determination process (special figure determination process based on winning in the first start opening 11), the gaming control microcomputer 101 selects "big hit symbol 1" or "big hit". It is possible to determine one of the symbols 2 ". More specifically, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines "big hit symbol 1" at a rate of 60%, and determines "big hit symbol 2" at a rate of 40%. Further, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 2 determination processing (special figure determination processing based on winning in the second starting opening 12), the game control microcomputer 101 is either "big hit symbol 3" or "big hit symbol 4" It is possible to decide More specifically, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines "big hit symbol 3" at a rate of 60%, and determines "big hit symbol 4" at a percentage of 40%.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a jackpot game according to the determined jackpot symbol type. Specifically, in "big hit game 2" executed when "big hit symbol 1" is determined, and "big hit game 2" executed when "big hit symbol 2" is determined, round game Is performed 16 times. And, from 1R to 8R, the first large winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game, and for 9R to 16R, the first one for a maximum of 0.1 seconds per one round game The big winning opening 14 is opened. From 9R to 16R of this jackpot game, the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 is extremely short, and in reality, it is a round where a winning to the first big winning opening 14 can not be expected. That is, although the total number of round games in this jackpot game is 16 times, the number of substantial round games is eight times.

  In addition, in "big hit game 3" which is executed when "big hit symbol 3" is determined, and in "big hit game 4" which is executed when "big hit symbol 4" is determined, 16 round games are made. To be done. Then, in all of 1R to 16R, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for up to 29.5 seconds per one round game. That is, in this jackpot game, the total number of round games and the number of substantial round games are 16 times.

  Therefore, the "big hit game 3" or "big hit game 4" in which the number of substantial round games is 16 times is the "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 2" in which the number of substantial round games is 8 times. It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which the "jackpot game 3" and the "jackpot game 4" are executed, the jackpot game in which the "jackpot game 1" or the "jackpot game 2" is executed It can be said that the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the gaming state.

  Next, the gaming state which can be controlled by the gaming control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 performs the game state after the big hit game even when the big hit game of “big hit game 1”, “big hit game 2”, “big hit game 3”, and “big hit game 4” is executed, Set to time saving state. In addition, when the big hit game of either “big hit game 1” or “big hit game 3” is executed, the gaming state after the big hit game is set to the high probability state, while “big hit game 2” or “big hit game When one of the big hit games of "game 4" is executed, the gaming state after the big hit game is set to the normal probability state. In other words, after "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 3", control to high probability high base gaming state (high probability state and time saving state), after "big hit game 2" or "big hit game 4", Control to low probability high base gaming state (normal probability state and time saving state).

  In the present embodiment, the "high probability high base gaming state" can be continued until the next jackpot game is executed. On the other hand, the "low probability high base gaming state" can be continued until the number of times of the variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times.

  Therefore, the "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 3" for which the high probability state is set thereafter is more advantageous to the player than the "big hit game 2" or the "big hit game 4" for which the high probability state is not set thereafter. It can be said that it is a jackpot game. In addition, the jackpot gaming state in which "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 3" is executed is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot gaming state in which "jackpot game 2" or "jackpot game 4" is executed. I can say that.

  In addition, it can be said that the jackpot gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal gaming state regardless of the type of jackpot symbol. Further, it can be said that the “high probability high base gaming state” which is one of the high probability states is a gaming state more advantageous to the player than the “low probability high base gaming state” which is one of the normal probability states. In this specification, the gaming state advantageous to the player may be referred to as the advantageous gaming state.

  Next, the positional relationship between the first large winning opening 14 and the general winning opening 10 will be described. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, three general winning openings 10 are provided, but here, the general winning opening 10 (in other words, the second flow passage R2) is disposed. Hereinafter, the positional relationship between the "specific general winning opening 10T" and the first large winning opening 14 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first large winning opening 14 is disposed on the right of the lower portion of the center frame 61 in the right gaming area 6B. On the other hand, the specified general winning opening 10T is disposed to the right of the central portion of the center frame 61 in the vertical direction in the right gaming area 6B. Then, the specified general winning opening 10T is located above the first large winning opening 14 (corresponding to a specific direction). That is, the specific general winning opening 10T is on the upper side (upper side in the vertical direction (one side in the predetermined direction)) as viewed from the first large winning opening 14, and more specifically, at the right end of the first large winning opening 14 It is located above.

  For this reason, when the player is hitting the right in the jackpot gaming state, most of the game balls hit in the right game area 6B will win the first large winning opening 14, but to the specified general winning opening 10T. There will also be a win of. However, the number of gaming balls to be won in the specific general winning opening 10T among the gaming balls fired in the right gaming area 6B during the jackpot game is smaller than the number of gaming balls winning in the first large winning opening 14, It is about 10 to 20 balls in the big hit game of the real 16R. The ball entering rate to the specified general winning a prize opening 10T can be changed appropriately. In addition, since the specified general winning opening 10T is not always the opening and closing type winning opening but is always open, the game ball may win a prize in the specified general winning opening 10T if the player strikes the right even in the non-big game state.

  Next, the effects during the jackpot game will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a cumulative award ball number display G30 that cumulatively indicates the number of winning balls obtained based on the winning on the first large winning opening 14 and the winning on the general winning opening 10 during the jackpot game. Further, based on the winning on the general winning opening 10 in the jackpot game, the "prize ball number display" indicating the winning is performed.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram showing how the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated according to the winning of the first big winning opening 14. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 29, when the jackpot game is started, the opening effect is executed first (FIG. 29A), and then the round effect is performed with the start of the first round game (FIG. 29). 29 (B)). In the round effect, the number of rounds indicating the current number of rounds (display of the round image G109), the rightward display prompting the player to play the game on the right (display of the rightward image G108), the player in the jackpot A cumulative number-of-awards display G30 (display of a number-of-award winning balls number image G110) indicating cumulatively the number of winning balls obtained is included.

  When the jackpot game based on the so-called first hit has just been started and the winning prize ball number is “0”, the cumulative prize ball number display G30 is “0 pt” (FIG. 29 (B)). Note that "pt" in the cumulative award ball number display G30 is an abbreviation for "point". The value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is added by “15” for each winning ball to the first big winning opening 14. The number “15” is the number of winning balls based on the winning on the first big winning opening 14. Therefore, when one winning combination in the first large winning opening 14 is generated, the cumulative award number of balls display G30 is updated to "15 pt" (FIG. 29 (C)).

  Furthermore, when one winning combination in the first large winning opening 14 is generated, the cumulative award number display G30 is updated to “30 pt” (FIG. 29 (D)). That is, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated to the value "30" obtained by adding the number of award balls "15" based on the new winning to the displayed value "15". In the present embodiment, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated according to the winning on the first big winning opening 14 in this manner. The cumulative award ball number display G30 corresponds to a first winning effect and a specific effect.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes the "additional prize ball number display" and updates the accumulated prize ball number display G30 when a prize in the general winning opening 10 occurs in the big hit game. In the present embodiment, in the case where the game ball is shot by right-handing aiming at winning in the first large winning opening 14, winning in the specified general winning opening 10T occurs (see FIG. 2).

  FIG. 30 is a diagram showing an effect when a game ball is won in the specified general winning opening 10T during a jackpot game. As shown in FIGS. 30 (A) and 30 (B), when the game ball is won in the specified general winning opening 10T, an additional award ball image G20 designed with a character string of "+3" is displayed on the display unit 50a. The number “3” is the number of winning balls based on the winning on the general winning opening 10. That is, the additional award ball image G20 is an image indicating that three additional award balls are to be paid out. Then, the effect of displaying the additional award ball image G20 is "display of additional prize balls". The “additional prize ball number display”, that is, the display of the additional prize ball image G20 corresponds to the second winning presentation effect.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 not only performs “extra prize ball number display” but also updates the value of the cumulative prize ball number display G30 when a prize in the general winning opening 10 occurs. Specifically, a value (for example, "333") obtained by adding the number of winning balls "3" based on the winning on the general winning hole 10 to the value (for example, "330", see FIG. 30A) displayed. It updates to (FIG. 30 (B)).

  The display time of the additional award ball image G20 is about 3 seconds. In the present embodiment, it is possible to display up to three additional award ball images G20. Specifically, in the state where one additional award ball image G20 is displayed, when a new winning to the specified general winning a prize opening 10T occurs, as shown in FIG. 30C, a new additional award ball is displayed. The image G20 is displayed in another area in the display unit 50a. At this time, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated (for example, updated from "333" to "336").

  Then, in the state where two additional award ball images G20 are displayed, when a new winning to the specified general winning a prize opening 10T occurs, as shown in FIG. 30 (D), a further new additional award ball image G20. Are displayed in another area of the display unit 50a. Also at this time, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated (for example, updated from "336" to "339"). That is, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is added by “3” each time a winning on the specified general winning opening 10T occurs (see FIGS. 30A to 30D).

  In the state where three additional award ball images G20 are displayed on the display unit 50a, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 generates a further additional award ball image G20 even if a new winning on the specified general winning opening 10T occurs. Do not display. However, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated (for example, from "339" to "342", see FIGS. 31 (A) and (B)).

  Incidentally, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 outputs a specific winning sound from the speaker 52 in accordance with the winning on the specific general winning opening 10T. Therefore, although the additional award ball image G20 is not displayed on the display unit 50a more than three, the player can use the specified general winning opening 10T by updating the accumulated number of balls display G30 or outputting a specific winning sound. It is possible to recognize the winning prize. It is assumed that this specific winning sound is output even when the additional award ball image G20 is displayed, if there is a winning on the specific general winning opening 10T.

  Here, the additional award ball image G20 displayed at the first position is referred to as a first specific image G21 (see FIG. 30B), and the additional award ball image G20 displayed at the second position is identified second The image G22 (see FIG. 30C) is referred to, and the additional award ball image G20 displayed in the third place is referred to as a third specific image G23 (see FIG. 30D). As shown in FIG. 30D, the areas where the first specified image G21, the second specified image G22, and the third specified image G23 are displayed in the display unit 50a are different from each other. The first specific image G21 is displayed at a predetermined position on the right end side of the display unit 50a (in the present embodiment, immediately below the right-handed image G108). The second specific image G22 is displayed on the right end side of the display unit 50a and below the display position of the first specific image G21 (more specifically, at the lower left). The third specified image G23 is the right end side of the display unit 50a and is lower than the first specified image G21 and the second specified image G22 (more specifically, just below the first specified image G21 and the second specified image G22 Displayed in the lower right of). The area where the first specific image G21 is displayed in the display unit 50a is referred to as a first area 201, the area where the second specific image G22 is displayed in the display unit 50a is referred to as a second area 202, and the third area in the display unit 50a. The area where the specific image G23 is displayed is referred to as a third area 203. The first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203 are also referred to as a general winning display area 200.

  Further, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is displayed at the lower end on the right end side of the display unit 50a. That is, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is displayed below the first specific image G21, the second specific image G22, and the third specific image G23. The area where the cumulative award ball number display G30 is displayed on the display unit 50a is referred to as a specific display area 210. With reference to the specific display area 210, the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203 are all located above it. The specific display area 210 corresponds to a first display area and a specific effect area, and each of the general winning display areas 200 (the first area 201, the second area 202, the third area 203) is a second display area. Equivalent to.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the specified general winning a prize opening 10T is located above (corresponding to a specific direction) with reference to the first big winning opening 14 (see arrow X shown in FIG. 32). . That is, in the present embodiment, the positional relationship between the first large winning opening 14 and the specified general winning opening 10T is similar to the positional relationship between the specific display area 210 and the general winning display area 200. The following effects are achieved by the positional relationship between such two winning openings and the display area of the effect corresponding to the winning on each winning opening.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when the player is aiming to win the first big winning opening 14 (when hitting the right), the specific display is displayed each time the first winning opening 14 is hit. In the area 210, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated. In such a situation, the additional prize ball image G20 may be displayed in the general winning display area 200 located above the specific display area 210. In the game board 1, a specific general winning opening 10 T is disposed above the first large winning opening 14. Accordingly, from such a relationship, a 3-ball display based on the fact that the additional prize ball image G20 is displayed according to the winning in the specified general winning opening 10T, and the display of "+3" is based on the winning in the specified general winning opening 10T. It is easy for the player to be informed that the meaning of the award ball is. That is, it is possible for the player to intuitively understand the meaning of the additional award ball image G20.

  Next, the display timing of the first specified image G21, the second specified image G22, and the third specified image G23 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 30 (A) and 30 (B), when a prize (first prize) to the specified general prize winning opening 10T occurs in a situation where no additional prize ball image G20 is displayed, the first area 201 is obtained. The first specific image G21 is displayed on the screen. Then, when the next winning (second winning) to the specified general winning a prize opening 10T occurs in a state where the first specific image G21 is displayed in the first area 201, the second specific image G22 is displayed in the second area 202. It is displayed (FIG. 30 (B) (C)). On the other hand, after the first specific image G21 displayed in the first area 201 disappears (after non-display), when the next winning of the specified general prize winning opening 10T occurs, the first area 201 The first specific image G21 (additional prize ball image G20) is displayed on the screen (FIGS. 30B, 30E, and 30F).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 30C and 30D, the situation in which two additional award ball images G20 are displayed (that is, the first specific image G21 is displayed in the first area 201, and the second When the second specific image G22 is displayed in the area 202 and a further winning (third prize) to the specific general winning hole 10T occurs, the third specific image G23 is displayed in the third area 203. Ru. On the other hand, after the first specific image G21 displayed in the first area 201 disappears and only the second specific image G22 is displayed in the second area 202 (FIG. 33 (A) ( B)) When a further winning of the specified general prize winning opening 10T occurs, the first specific image G21 (additional prize ball image G20) is displayed in the first area 201 instead of the third area 203 (additional prize ball image G20) Fig. 33 (B) (C). When the additional award ball image G20 is displayed in the first area 201 and the second area 202 in this manner, the additional award ball image G20 displayed in the second area 202 is displayed. , Disappears earlier than the additional award ball image G20 displayed in the first area 201 (Fig. 33 (C) (D)).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the area in which the new additional award ball image G20 is displayed changes in accordance with the display condition of the additional award ball image G20 at the time of winning in the specific general winning opening 10T. Thus, the display of the additional award ball image G20 (additional prize ball number display) improves the game interest during the big hit game. Further, the area for displaying the additional prize ball image G20 is any one of the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203 in the display unit 50a, and is not displayed at other positions. The execution area of "number display" can not be expanded without limit. Therefore, it is possible to make the "reward award ball number display" an effect that the player can easily understand.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes an ending effect at the end of the jackpot game. Also in this ending effect, the cumulative number of balls is displayed. As shown in FIG. 34, the cumulative award ball number display G40 (display of the total award ball number image G112) in the ending effect is different in display mode from the cumulative award ball number display G30 in the round game. Specifically, the cumulative award ball number display G40 is displayed at the center in the left-right direction in the upper part of the display unit 50a in a size larger than the cumulative award ball number display G30 in the round game. The cumulative award number display G40 (display of "2454 pt") shown in FIG. 34 indicates that the cumulative number of awards is "2454". Such an ending effect enables the player to know the total number of winning balls obtained up to the present time.

  Incidentally, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G40 displayed in the ending effect is the same as the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 at the end of the final round. In the present embodiment, when a winning on the general winning opening 10 occurs during the ending period, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G40 in the ending effect is not updated. However, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G40 in the ending effect may be updated.

  Next, based on the timing chart shown in FIG. 35, the process of updating the cumulative award ball number display G30 by the effect control microcomputer 121 and the process of executing the additional award ball image G20 display (additional prize ball number display) will be described. Do. As described above, the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes the jackpot game when it is determined that the jackpot is won in the special drawing 1 determination processing or the special drawing 2 determination processing. An opening command is sent at the beginning of the opening of the jackpot game, a round game command is sent at the beginning of each round, and an ending command is sent at the beginning of the ending. In addition, the game control microcomputer 101 transmits a command for the first large winning opening sensor based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first large winning opening sensor 14a, and based on the detection of the gaming ball by the general winning opening sensor 10a. , Send a command for the general winning opening sensor.

  When receiving the opening command from the game control microcomputer 101, the effect control microcomputer 121 executes the opening effect. Also, when a round game command is received, a land effect is executed. Also, when an ending command is received, an ending effect is executed. Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 updates the cumulative award ball number display G30 when receiving the command for the first large winning opening sensor during the big hit game. In addition, when the command for the general winning a prize opening sensor is received during the round game in the jackpot game, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated, and according to the display situation of the additional prize ball image G20, a new additional prize ball image G20 Display. The cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated when the effect control microcomputer 121 transmits a command to that effect to the image control board 140. Further, the display of the additional award ball image G20 is realized by the effect control microcomputer 121 transmitting a command instructing that to the image control board 140.

  As shown in FIG. 35, when the big hit game is started and the first big winning opening sensor 14a detects a winning, the effect control microcomputer 121 updates the cumulative award ball number display G30 displayed in the specific display area 210. To (timing Ta). The cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated each time the first big winning opening sensor 14a detects a winning (timing Ta, timing Tb).

  In addition, when general winning a prize opening sensor 10a detects winning in the situation where no additional award ball image G20 is displayed during the round game, the effect control microcomputer 121 controls the cumulative award ball displayed in the specific display area 210. The number display G30 is updated, and the additional award ball image G20 (first specific image G21) is displayed in the first area 201 (timing Tc).

  Further, when the general winning opening sensor 10a detects a winning in the situation where only the first specific image G21 is displayed as the additional award ball image G20 during the round game, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays it in the specific display area 210. The cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated, and the additional award ball image G20 (second specific image G22) is displayed in the second area 202 (timing Td).

  Further, when the general winning opening sensor 10a detects a winning in the situation where only the second specific image G22 is displayed as the additional award ball image G20 during the round game, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays it in the specific display area 210. The cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated, and the additional award ball image G20 (first specific image G21) is displayed in the first area 201 (timing Te). As a result, the additional award ball image G20 is displayed again in the first area 201 and the second area 202. However, in this situation, the second specific image G22 is not displayed first (timing Tf).

  Further, when the general winning opening sensor 10a detects a prize in the situation where the first specific image G21 and the second specific image G22 are displayed as the additional prize ball image G20 during the round game, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that The cumulative award ball number display G30 displayed in the display area 210 is updated, and the additional award ball image G20 (third specific image G23) is displayed in the third area 203 (timing Tg).

  In this manner, the display of the cumulative award ball number display G30 and the additional award ball image G20 shown in FIG. 29, FIG. 30, FIG. 33, etc. (the bonus ball number display) is realized. Has been improved. Incidentally, in the explanation based on FIG. 35 etc., while the winning to the specific general winning opening 10T is occurring, the winning to the first large winning opening 14 does not occur, but in fact, to the first large winning opening 14 Because the winning of the specific general winning opening 10T occurs at random while the winnings of the are occurring frequently, the update of the cumulative award ball number display G30 based on the winning of the first large winning opening 14 and the specific general winning opening The update of the cumulative award ball number display G30 based on the winning to 10T is performed in a mixed manner.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the cumulative award ball number display G30 indicates the total number of winning balls acquired in a so-called continuous period. The consecutive period is a game period from the so-called first hit to the return to the normal gaming state again. The first hit is a jackpot that is won in the normal gaming state. As a specific example of the continuous period, the following series of periods may be mentioned. That is, in the normal gaming state, it wins the jackpot symbol 1 (see FIG. 28) in the lottery of the special view 1 and sequentially shifts to the jackpot gaming state and the high probability high base gaming state. Wins the jackpot symbol 4 (see FIG. 28) in the lottery of 2, and sequentially shifts to the jackpot gaming state, the low probability high base gaming state, does not win the jackpot in the low probability high base gaming state, 100 specials It is a period from when the variable display of the symbol is executed until it returns to the normal gaming state.

  In the case where the cumulative award ball number display G30 is a display indicating the total number of winning balls in the consecutive period, the winning on the general winning hole 10 in the high base state between the big hit games may be a target of counting. It may be excluded. The cumulative award ball number display may indicate the total number of award balls obtained in one jackpot game.

  Next, the function of the cumulative award ball number display G30 and the function of displaying the additional award ball image G20 (additional prize ball number display) will be described collectively.

A. Cumulative prize ball number display G30
Since the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated according to the winning on the first big winning opening 14, it functions as an effect that suggests a winning on the first big winning opening 14. Further, since only the number of winning balls based on the winning on the first large winning opening 14 is added, it functions as an effect that suggests the number of winning balls based on the winning on the first large winning opening 14. Also, if the number of winning balls to the first large winning opening 14 is known, the number of winnings to the first large winning opening 14 can also be known (that is, it is known that one ball has been won if “15” is added). The number display G30 also functions as an effect that suggests the number of winnings on the first big winning opening 14.

  Further, since the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated according to the winning on the general winning opening 10, it functions as an effect that suggests a winning on the general winning opening 10.

Therefore, it is possible to easily show the player what the display of the cumulative award ball number display G30 and the additional award ball image G20 indicate.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the first large winning opening 14 and the specified general winning opening 10T are both arranged in the second flow passage R2. Therefore, when the player is aiming to win the first large winning opening 14 in the jackpot gaming state, a winning to the specified general winning opening 10T is incidentally generated. Therefore, while knowing the benefit obtained by the winning of the first big winning opening 14 (the benefit obtained by becoming the jackpot gaming state) by the cumulative award ball number display G30, it can be obtained concomitantly with the acquisition of the benefit The bonus can be known by the display of the additional prize ball image G20 (display of bonus prize ball number), and the game interest in the jackpot gaming state can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the jackpot gaming state is reached, the jackpot gaming state as well as the winning of the first large winning opening 14 that can be won by the jackpot gaming state Even if it is not, it is possible to obtain a winning ball even on the basis of the winning on the specific general winning opening 10T that can be won. Therefore, the prize based on the so-called character ratio (the ratio of winning balls based on winning in the opening and closing expression to the total winning balls) and the continuous character ratio (winning based on the big winning opening based on the jackpot for the whole winning balls) It is possible to lower the proportion of spheres). In other words, it is possible to make a gaming machine having a good ball (it is difficult to reduce the number of balls).

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated not only according to the winning on the first large winning opening 14 but also in response to the winning on the general winning opening 10. Therefore, it is possible to correctly know the amount of benefits acquired in the jackpot gaming state by the cumulative award ball number display G30, and it is possible to improve the effect of the cumulative award ball number display G30.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the update timing of the cumulative award ball number display G30 according to the winning in the specific general winning opening 10T is the cumulative number of winning balls according to the winning in the first large winning opening 14 It is the same timing as the update timing of display G30 (both are at the time of winning occurrence) (see FIG. 35). Therefore, compared with the case where the update timing of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is different between the two, it is an effect that the cumulative award ball number display G30 is easy to understand, and it is possible to improve the interest by the cumulative award ball number display G30.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when a winning on the specified general prize winning opening 10T occurs, the additional award ball image G20 is displayed for a predetermined time (about 3 seconds). The display of the additional award ball image G20 is an effect specialized to the winning suggestion to the general winning opening 10. Therefore, it becomes possible to notice the occurrence of a winning on the general winning opening 10, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the area in which the new additional award ball image G20 is displayed changes depending on the display condition of the additional award ball image G20 when the specific general winning hole 10T has a prize. (Refer FIG. 30, FIG. 33). Therefore, it is possible to suppress that the display of the additional award ball image G20 (additional award ball number display) is a monotonous effect, and the game interest can be improved.

  In particular, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when a winning on the specified general winning opening 10T newly occurs, if the additional award ball image G20 is displayed in the first area 201 and the second area 202, A new additional award ball image G20 is displayed in the third area 203, but if the additional award ball image G20 is not displayed in the first area 201, a new additional award ball image G20 is displayed in the first area 201 (FIG. 30). , See Figure 33). Therefore, it is possible to display the additional prize ball image G20 (display of bonus prize ball number) without excessively widening the area for displaying the additional prize ball image G20. As a result, it is possible to indicate in an easy-to-understand manner the occurrence of a winning on the general winning opening 10.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the number (+3) to be updated in the cumulative award ball number display G30 is suggested by the display of the additional award ball image G20 (additional prize ball number display). Therefore, due to the relationship between the two displays, it is possible to further improve the interest in the jackpot gaming state.

  As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, two winnings randomly generated during the game (that is, the timing of occurrence is not determined), and the special general winnings on the first big winning opening 14 By giving the above-described relationship to the effect based on the event of winning in the mouth 10T), the interest of the game is enhanced while easily communicating the event that occurred to the player.

9. Modifications Hereinafter, modifications of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. Of course, the configurations according to the modification may be combined appropriately. Moreover, the technical features in the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted if they are not described as essential in the present specification.

Second Embodiment
In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment described above, the display timing of the additional award ball image G20 and the update timing of the cumulative award ball number display G30 at the same time when the winning at the general winning opening 10 occurs in the big hit gaming state (See FIG. 35). On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, after the additional award ball image G20 is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, about 3 seconds), the cumulative award ball number display G30 is displayed at the timing of erasing the additional award ball image G20. It is supposed to be updated.

  Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment performs “display of bonus prize ball number” (corresponding to the second winning effect) as shown in FIG. That is, first, when the winning in the specified general winning a prize opening 10T is continuously generated twice from the state where no additional award ball image G20 is displayed, the additional award ball image is displayed in the first area 201 and the second area 202. G20 (numeric image) is displayed (FIGS. 36A and 36B). At this time, updating of the cumulative award ball number display G30 (cumulative value image) is not performed.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 36C to 36F, after the additional award ball image G20 is displayed for a predetermined time (about 3 seconds), the cumulative award is displayed from the displayed area After moving and displaying so as to approach the ball number display G30, the display is made non-display (erased from the display unit 50a). Then, at the timing of erasing the additional award ball image G20, the value of the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated to a value obtained by adding "3".

  Specifically, in the case of the additional prize ball image G20 (first specific image G21) displayed in the first area 201, the first specific image is moved and displayed from the first area 201 to the specific display area 210. The cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated at the timing of erasing G21 (FIG. 36 (C) (D)). Further, in the case of the additional prize ball image G20 (the second specific image G22) displayed in the second area 202, the second area 202 is moved toward the specific display area 210, and the second specific image G22 is erased. The cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated at the timing (FIG. 36 (E) (F)).

  FIG. 37 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of the display of the cumulative award ball number display G30 and the additional award ball image G20 (additional prize ball number display) in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 37, when a winning on the general winning opening 10 (winning detection by the general winning opening sensor 10a) occurs during the big hit game, the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines the first specific image G21 (additional prize ball The image G20) is displayed in the first area 201 (timing Tp). If a new winning combination in the general winning opening 10 occurs while the first specific image G21 is being displayed, the second specific image G22 (additional prize ball image G20) is displayed in the second area 202 (timing Tq).

  Then, when a predetermined time passes after the first specific image G21 is displayed in the first area 201, the first specific image G21 is moved and displayed as described above and then hidden. At this timing, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated (timing Tr). That is, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated according to the non-display of the first specific image G21. In addition, when a predetermined time elapses after the second specific image G22 is displayed in the second area 202, the second specific image G22 is moved and displayed as described above and then hidden. At this timing, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated (timing Ts). That is, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated according to the non-display of the second specific image G22. Although the description of the third specific image G23 is omitted, in the second embodiment, the same display control as that of the first specific image G21 and the second specific image G22 is performed for the third specific image G23.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment described above, the update timing of the cumulative award ball number display G30 corresponding to the winning on the specified general winning opening 10T is the cumulative award corresponding to the winning on the first large winning opening 14 It is later than the update timing of the ball number display G30. Therefore, it is possible to suppress that the cumulative award ball number display G30 is a monotonous effect, and it is possible to improve the dramatic fun of the cumulative award ball number display G30.

  Further, according to the second embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine, the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated in line with the end of the display of the additional award ball image G20 (that is, at the timing when the additional award ball image G20 is not displayed). It will be. Therefore, it is possible to easily convey to the player an image in which the number (specifically, "+3") suggested by the additional award ball image G20 is added to the cumulative award ball number display G30. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the rendering effect by the display of the additional award ball image G20 (additional award ball number display) and the cumulative award ball number display G30. In particular, in the second embodiment, since the additional award ball image G20 is moved and displayed toward the cumulative award ball number display G30 and then non-displayed, the above effect can be further exhibited.

  Incidentally, among the effects exhibited by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, those other than the effects resulting from the difference from the present embodiment are also exhibited in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, the additional award ball image G20 may be hidden without being moved and displayed toward the cumulative award ball number display G30.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the update timing of the cumulative award ball number display G30 according to the winning in the specified general prize winning opening 10T may not be the time when the display of the additional award ball image G20 ends. It can be changed. For example, it may be in the middle of the display period of the additional award ball image G20, or after a predetermined time has elapsed after the display of the additional award ball image G20 is ended.

Other Modifications
In the above-described embodiment, the specific general winning opening 10T is disposed above the first large winning opening 14, but the positional relationship between the large winning opening and the general winning opening (ordinary winning opening) can be changed as appropriate. For example, there may be a general winning opening on the left side of the special winning opening. In this case, it is preferable to display a second winning effect corresponding to the winning on the general winning opening to the left of the first winning effect corresponding to the winning on the special winning opening. Also, in this case, the left side corresponds to the “specific direction”. Also, for example, there may be a general winning opening on the right side of the special winning opening. In this case, the second winning effect may be displayed to the right of the first winning effect. Also, in this case, the right side corresponds to the “specific direction”. Also, for example, there may be a general winning opening below the large winning opening. In this case, the second winning effect may be displayed below the first winning effect. In this case, the lower side corresponds to the "specific direction". Note that the “specific direction” may be configured to be forward or backward.

  Here, the positional relationship between the center of the display area of the first winning effect and the center of the display area of the second winning effect may be the same as the positional relationship between the special winning opening and the general winning opening. . For example, in the example shown in FIG. 38, in the right gaming area 6B, the general winning opening 10X is disposed on the right side of the large winning opening 14X (corresponding to a specific direction, see arrow Y in FIG. 38).

  Then, the cumulative award ball number display G50 updated according to the winning in the special winning opening 14X is displayed at the upper right end of the display unit 50a. An area where the cumulative award ball number display G50 is displayed on the display unit 50a is set as a specific display area 210X. In addition, an additional prize ball image G20 is displayed in accordance with the winning on the general winning opening 10X. An area where the additional award ball image G20 (an example of the specific image) is displayed in the display unit 50a is set as a general winning display area 200X.

  The general winning display area 200X is below the specific display area 210X. However, the position of the center of the general winning display area 200X (more specifically, the position of the center in the left-right direction; see the two-dot chain line a in FIG. 38) is the position of the center of the specific display area 210X (more specifically, the left-right direction Position on the right of the two-dot chain line b in FIG. 38). That is, the positional relationship between the specific display area 210X and the general winning display area 200X when both display areas are viewed at the center (the center in the predetermined direction) (the general winning display area 200X is on the right of the specific display area 210X) A certain thing is the same as the positional relationship between the special winning opening 14X and the general winning opening 10X (having the general winning opening 10X on the right side of the large winning opening 14X).

  As described above, the center of the display area (specific display area 210X) where the cumulative award ball number display G50 (first winning effect) is performed and the display where the additional award ball image G20 is displayed (second winning effect) is performed If the positional relationship between the area (general winning display area 200X) and the center of the area is the same as the positional relationship between the special winning opening 14X and the general winning opening 10X, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the example shown in FIG. 38, the cumulative award ball number display G50 represents the 5-digit value "12210", but the cumulative award ball number is 2 digits (for example, "15") or 3 digits. In the case of (for example, "120") and four digits (for example, "1500"), the display area of the cumulative award ball number display G50 may be smaller than in the case of five digits. That is, the size of the display area may be changed according to the carry due to the accumulation. Even with such a configuration, the center of the specific display area 210X in which the cumulative award ball number display G50 is displayed is the position of the two-dot chain line b in FIG. 38 (that is, the center of the display area at the maximum digit number). Position).

  In the above embodiment, the first large winning opening 14 (first winning opening) and the specific general winning opening 10T (second winning opening) are in a specific positional relationship, and the specific display area 210 and each general winning display The area 200 (the first area 201, the second area 202, the third area 203) is in the same positional relationship as the above-mentioned specific positional relationship (see FIG. 32). On the other hand, the positional relationship between the first large winning opening 14 and the specified general winning opening 10T, the specific display area 210 and the display area 200 for each general winning (first area 201, second area 202, third area 203) The positional relationship of may be a similar positional relationship. That is, the same positional relationship and similar positional relationship are included in the same positional relationship. And the same positional relationship should just be a positional relationship (for example, right above, diagonally upper, etc.) including the component of the same direction.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, at the time of winning in the first large winning opening 14, only the cumulative award ball number display G30 is updated, but the third winning effect that suggests winning in the first large winning opening 14 is It may be configured to be performed together with the update of the cumulative award ball number display G30. An example of the third winning effect is an effect of displaying an image designed with a character string of "+15". The number “15” is the number of winning balls corresponding to the winning on the first big winning opening 14.

  In the above-described embodiment, the trigger for updating the accumulated prize ball number display G30 and displaying the additional prize ball image G20 (displaying bonus ball number) is not set to all the regular winning holes 10, but only for the specific general winning hole 10T (that is, right). It is good also as a general winning a prize mouth 10 which can be won during a hit.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first winning effect is an effect (accumulated award ball number display G30) indicating an accumulated value of the number of award balls paid out. On the other hand, the first winning effect may indicate the number (winning number) of gaming balls that have won in the first winning opening (the first large winning opening 14 in the embodiment). For example, in a game machine with 10 counts per round, ten icon images may be displayed on the display unit 50a, and effects may be made to disappear one by one (make them non-displayed) according to a winning. Alternatively, the effect may be such that ten icon images are displayed in the first display mode (for example, white) and changed to the second display mode (for example, red) in accordance with the winning.

  In addition, the first winning effect may indicate the number (winning number) of gaming balls that have won in the second winning opening (in the embodiment, the specified general winning opening 10T in the embodiment). For example, it may be an effect that indicates the number of winning to the second winning opening by counting up the numbers. Alternatively, the icon image may be displayed in a manner that suggests the number of winnings for the second winning opening.

  Further, the first winning effect based on the winning on the first winning opening (in the embodiment, the first big winning opening 14) may not be the display of the cumulative winning balls. For example, the effect may be to display an image including a number that indicates the number of winning balls “+15”.

  Also, in the above embodiment, the count targets for the cumulative award ball number display G30 are the winning on the first large winning opening 14 and the winning on the general winning opening 10, but other winning openings (for example, 2) A winning combination for the starting opening 12, etc.) may be added to the counting object.

  When the jackpot game of opening the second big winning opening 15 is configured to be executable, the cumulative winning balls number display G30 is updated according to the winning on the second big winning opening 15. Good. In this case, it is desirable that the specified general winning opening 10T be above the second large winning opening 15. That is, it is desirable to have a positional relationship as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the suggestion of the number updated in the cumulative award ball number display G30 by the display of the additional award ball image G20 (additional award ball number display) is a mode of displaying numbers (display of "+3") , May be another aspect. For example, the number updated in the cumulative award ball number display G30 may be indicated by a display mode (for example, the number of display, the display color, etc.) of a predetermined icon image.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the display time of the additional award ball image G20 can be appropriately changed within a range that does not affect the game.

  In the above embodiment, the additional prize ball image G20 is displayed (additional prize ball number display) in accordance with the prize winning in the general winning hole 10, but the "additional prize ball number display" (second prize effect) The winning opening serving as an execution opportunity may not be the general winning opening 10. For example, it is possible to provide a starting opening (starting winning opening) which can be won during right-handed driving, and to perform "display of bonus ball number" in accordance with the winning on this starting opening. In this case, the starting opening may be a starting opening (variable starting opening) related to electric power, or may be a non-variable starting opening (fixed starting opening) in which the ease of winning does not always change. .

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the additional award ball image G20 is displayed in the order of the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203 in accordance with the winning on the specified general winning opening 10T. On the other hand, the display area of the additional award ball image G20 may be only one. In this case, when the next winning is generated while the additional award ball image G20 is displayed, all or a part of the new additional award ball image G20 may be superimposed and displayed. Note that a configuration may be adopted in the above-described embodiment in which the whole or a part of the new additional award ball image G20 is superimposed and displayed on the area where the additional award ball image G20 is already displayed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the number of displayable areas of the additional award ball image G20 can be arbitrarily changed. For example, when an additional prize ball image G20 (specific image) is displayed in all of the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203, when a prize winning in the specific general winning opening 10T occurs, The additional award ball image G20 may be displayed in a fourth area different from any of the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203.

  In the above embodiment, the specific winning sound is output from the speaker 52 in response to the winning in the specific general winning opening 10T, but the types of winning sounds may always be the same, or the specific general winning It may be changed according to the number of gaming balls that have won the mouth 10T. For example, the winning sound for displaying the additional prize ball image G20 may be changed from the winning sound for not displaying it, or only the winning sound for non-display may be changed in order according to the number of winnings.

  In the above embodiment, the specific images displayed in the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203 are all the same image (additional prize ball image G20), but the specific images differ according to the display area. It is also good. For example, depending on the display area, the design of the character string of “+3” may be different, the color may be different, or the like.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot gaming state is "advantage game state", the cumulative award ball number display G30 is "first winning effect", and the display of the additional award ball image G20 (additional bonus ball number display) is "second The award winning On the other hand, the high probability state or the short time state (high base state) may be set as the "advantage game state". When the time saving state (high base state) is made the advantageous gaming state, the first winning effect is performed according to the winning on the electric chew during the high base state, and the second winning is performed according to the winning on the general winning opening. It is possible to produce an effect. In addition, it is possible to perform the first prize presentation according to the prize winning on the basis of winning to the so-called small hit in the high base state, and to perform the second prize presentation according to the prize for electric chow It is. In addition, in the gaming machine having two large winning openings, the first winning effect is performed according to the winning on one large winning opening, and the second winning effect is performed according to the winning on the other large winning opening. You may do so. In this case, the first large winning opening is a large winning opening that opens with a big hit game, and the second large winning opening is a small hitting game (a small winning opening with a total opening time of 1.8 seconds or less based on a small hitting election) It is good also as a special winning opening made to open by the special game made to open.

  In addition, the contents of the first winning effect and the contents of the second winning effect can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, instead of the image display effect using the image display device 50, an effect that suggests a winning on the winning opening may be performed by the operation of the structure. The structure in this case may be, for example, a motorized movable object driven by the detection of winning by a sensor, or a non-electric movable object operated by receiving a load by the winning gaming ball ( For example, it may be a so-called windmill.

  In the above embodiment, the gaming machine is determined to shift to the high probability state based on the type of the jackpot symbol that has won, but based on the passage of the so-called V machine (specific area (V area) in the big winning opening) It may be configured as a gaming machine to control to a high probability state. In the above embodiment, once controlled to the high probability state, the game machine is configured as a gaming machine (so-called probability changing loop type gaming machine) in which control to the high probability state continues until the start of the next big hit game. The game machine may be configured as a game machine of the In addition, it may be configured as a so-called 1 type 2 type mixing machine or a honey type type gaming machine. That is, the invention shown in the present specification can be suitably adopted to gaming machines of various game characteristics regardless of the gaming characteristics of the gaming machine.
