When the distributing member 16k is in the second state, the gaming ball having won the second large winning opening 15 can easily pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second large winning opening sensor 15a. The route of the gaming ball flowing from the second large winning opening 15 to the specific area 16 is referred to as a second route.

  In addition, basically, the distribution member 16k is held in the first state. That is, it can be said that the first state is the normal state of the distribution member 16k. Then, only in a predetermined round game (for example, 16R), the distribution solenoid 16s can be energized to change to the second state. The operation mode of the distributing member 16k can be changed as appropriate.

  In the specific area 16 and the nonspecific area 17, a specific area sensor 16a and a nonspecific area sensor 17a are provided which detect the gaming balls having passed (enter) each of the areas 16 and 17 and allow the gaming balls to pass downward. .

  Note that it is possible to provide only one of the first big prize device 14D and the second big prize device 15D within a range that does not interfere with the game. Further, according to the game property, it is possible to provide two big winning devices without a specific area or a sorting device such as the first big winning device 14D.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, at the lowermost part of the game area 6, two game balls are discharged to the outside of the game area 6 which have not been won in any of the winning openings of the game area 6. An out port 19 is provided. In addition, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

  By the way, the game area 6 in which game balls can flow can be divided into the left game area 6A (first game area) on the left side from the center in the left-right direction and the right game area 6B (second game area) on the right side. it can. The operation mode of the handle 72k that causes the game balls to fire so that the game balls flow down the left game area 6A is referred to as "left strike". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that causes the game balls to fire so that the game balls flow down the right game area 6B is referred to as "right-handed". In pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the game ball is thrown by hitting the left, the channel where the game ball can flow down is called the first channel R1, and when the game ball is fired by hitting the game ball, the game ball flows down. A possible flow path is called a second flow path R2. The first flow passage R1 and the second flow passage R2 are also configured by a large number of playing nails and the like.

  On the first flow passage R1, a first starting opening 11 and two general winning openings 10 are provided. Therefore, the player can aim for winning in the first start opening 11 or the general winning opening 10 by firing the gaming ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by hitting left. On the other hand, on the second flow passage R2, a second start opening 12, a general winning opening 10, a gate 13, a first big winning opening 14, and a second big winning opening 15 are provided. Therefore, the player shoots the gaming ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by right-handling, so that the passage of the gate 13, the second start opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the first winning opening 14 Or, it is possible to aim for the winning of the second big winning opening 15.

  In addition, the game ball which did not enter any winning opening (1st starting opening 11, 2nd starting opening 12, general winning opening 10, 1st big winning opening 14, and 2nd big winning opening 15), It is guided to the out port 19 and discharged. 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 figure 1 and the special figure 2 are collectively referred to as a special figure or a special symbol, and the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as a special figure 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. Note that the gaming state in which the jackpot game is being performed is referred to as a jackpot gaming state. The jackpot gaming state is an example of a special gaming state advantageous to the player.

  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 (four in this embodiment) is set. The upper limit of the special figure 1 holding number and the special figure 2 holding number can be changed as appropriate, and the upper limit may be “none”. 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.

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 relating 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. 9A. 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, for example, 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 in the non-time-short state and the special drawing used in the time-short state 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 or SP reach 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. Since the first starting opening 11 is a starting opening that triggers the drawing of the special drawing 1, the first prefetch determination table can also be referred to as the special drawing 1 prefetching determination table. In addition, since the second starting opening 12 is a starting opening that triggers the drawing of the special view 2, the second prefetch determination table can also be referred to as a special view 2 prefetch determination table. 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 takes place, the time to close to the next opening (closing time or interval time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. are included. There is. 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. The operation mode of the distribution member 16k can be changed as appropriate. In the case where another operation mode is shown in the description of "features of pachinko game machine PY1" described later, it is assumed that the operation mode is adopted in the pachinko game machine PY1.

  It should be noted that during the big hit game, the VAT opening and closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k are the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) in which passage of the gaming ball to the specific area 16 (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") is easy. The operating jackpot is referred to as "V long jackpot", and the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate with the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which passage of the game ball into the specific area 16 is impossible or difficult. The jackpot 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 it is a 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 from the state of waiting for the variable display of the special view, 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), the left special pattern EZ1 of 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, with regard to the stop modes of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 that suggest a loss, the barrage eyes when reach is not established are referred to as "non-reach barrage eyes" or "non-reach loser eyes", and the barrage eyes when reach is established It is called "reach reach" or "reach miss". 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 result of the big hit judgment is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is “losing” and 20% if the result of the big hit judgment is “big hit”, It is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach A higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach B. 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 same icon TA (also referred to as the hold icon TA) that is the same as the hold icon HA in response to the start of the special figure change effect. Note that an icon different from the hold icon HA may be displayed as the icon TA.

  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. 21A, 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. Further, the movable device operated in the movable body effect can be appropriately changed. 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. The movable body effect is also referred to as movable body drive 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. In addition, an operation promotion effect that urges the operation of the operation means (operation unit) such as the special button 41 and the normal button 40 is also referred to as an operation instruction effect. In the operation promotion effect that urges the operation of the normal button 40, an image promoting the normal button 40 (special button image), an image representing the operation mode of the normal button 40, and an operation promotion image including an image representing the operation valid period are displayed It is displayed on the section 50a.

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”. As described above, the pre-reading effect of displaying the hold icon HA and the icon TA in a special mode ("☆" in this mode) instead of the normal mode ("O" in this mode) is referred to as a hold change effect. Also, the hold icon HA and the icon TA are collectively referred to as hold display. In the present embodiment, the hold icon HA and the icon TA are displayed as the hold display, but only the hold icon HA may be displayed and the icon TA may not be displayed. In addition, the timing to perform the suspension display of the special mode in the suspension change presentation may be at the time of occurrence of the start winning that triggers the suspension display, or at the time of the shift display of the suspension display (display area of suspension icon HA When it is changed, it may be during execution of the special figure change corresponding to the suspension display (when displayed as the icon TA). In addition, there may be a plurality of types of special modes of the hold display.

  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 pre-reading effect is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, and can be appropriately changed or added. As pre-reading effect other than reservation change production, for example, what is called continuous announcement etc. are mentioned.

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.

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 manner, various effects (special image variation effects, hold effects, operation effects, preview effects, other advance 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 a resurrection effect to be performed after the failure effect which suggests a loss in the SP reach is performed. In the present embodiment, the resurrection effect is an effect that suggests a jackpot win.

  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 "jackpot game 2" 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 the time saving state (high base 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 variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times (predetermined number of upper limit execution 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. Also, the jackpot gaming state in which "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 3" is executed is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which "big hit game 2" or "big hit 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 fluctuation pattern determination of the special view 1 in the non-time-short state will be described. In the non-time-saving state, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the special view 1 change pattern using the special view 1 change pattern determination table shown in FIG.

  In the special pattern 1 fluctuation pattern determination process when the microcomputer 101 for gaming control is set to the non-short time state, the result of the big hit determination performed in the special figure 1 determination process, the result of the big hit symbol type determination, the result of reach determination And the special figure fluctuation pattern random number, to determine the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 29, when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 1", the gaming control microcomputer 101 selects "THP001" to "THP011" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. It is possible to determine either. It is distributed by the special figure fluctuation pattern random number as to which special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined. The distribution ratio is as shown in FIG. The distribution ratio (selection ratio) of the special figure fluctuation pattern can be appropriately changed. The same applies to special figure fluctuation patterns other than “THP001” to “THP011”.

  Further, when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 2", the gaming control microcomputer 101 can determine any one of "THP021" to "THP025" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. .

  Further, when the result of the big hit determination is not the “big hit” and the result of the reach determination is “with reach”, the gaming control microcomputer 101 “THP 031” to “THP 033” as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. It is possible to determine either.

  Further, when the result of the big hit determination is not the “big hit” and the result of the reach determination is “no reach”, the gaming control microcomputer 101 “THP 041”, “THP 042” as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. It is possible to determine one of the three types “THP043”. Which one of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns to be determined is allocated according to the number of special figure 1 reservations. In the case where the number of reserved special figures 1 is 0 to 2, it is easy to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the special figure fluctuation time is relatively long, and in the case where the number of reserved special figures 1 is 3 to 4, the special figure fluctuation It is easy to determine the special pattern fluctuation pattern whose time is relatively short.

  Here, the special figure 1 fluctuation patterns “THP001” to “THP005” and “THP021” to “THP022” are battle jackpot fluctuations in which battle reach (a kind of SP reach) is performed. In addition, special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP006”-“THP010”, “THP 023”-“THP024” is a story jackpot fluctuation in which story reach (a kind of SP reach) is performed. In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP011”, “THP025” is N jackpot fluctuation in which N reach is performed but SP reach (battle reach or story reach) is not performed. Battle reach and story reach are examples of specific effects.

  In battle reach, the ally character and the enemy character battle each other, and finally, a victory effect (an example of a success effect) in which the ally character wins, or a defeat effect (an example of a failure effect) in which the ally character loses It is an effect that branches to). In addition, the story reach is a presentation that displays a story about an ally character, and finally branches into a successful presentation leading to good ending or a failure presentation not leading to good ending. In either of the reach effects, the success effect is an effect that suggests a big hit, and the failure effect is an effect that suggests a loss. The battle reach and story reach will be described in detail later.

  Here, for the battle jackpot fluctuation, a battle victory jackpot fluctuation in which a victory effect (success direction effect) is performed in battle reach, and a battle revival jackpot where a revival effect is performed after a defeat effect (failure effect effect) in the battle reach There is a change.

  And, in the battle victory jackpot change, the variation pattern (THP001) of the effect flow in which the Zoro eyes (corresponding to the specific aspect) of the definite variation symbol is stopped and displayed without the so-called symbol promotion being performed, and the Zoro eyes of the normal symbol is stopped After being displayed successfully, the variation pattern (THP002) of the presentation flow in which the Zoro eyes of the odd symbols are stopped and displayed after successful promotion of the symbols, and when the Zoro eyes of the normal symbols are stopped and displayed, it is not changed to the odd symbols There are variation patterns (THP 003, THP 021) of the effect flow that are displayed on stop as it is.

  In addition, with the symbol promotion, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 constituting the Zoro eyes (big hit stop mode) are definite variation showing that it is a probability variation big hit from a normal symbol which usually has a possibility of big hit (non-probable variation big hit) It is to be changed to a symbol (usually a chance symbol with no possibility of jackpot). The probability variation jackpot is the jackpot that the gaming state after the jackpot game is scheduled to be controlled to the high probability state, and the normal jackpot (non-probability variation jackpot) is the game state after the jackpot gaming is controlled to the low probability state The jackpot of In addition, a probability variation design is an example of an advantageous design. In the present embodiment, each of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 includes the numeral symbols of "1" to "9", and the probable variation symbol among them is the numeral symbols of "3" and "7", and the ordinary symbol is Is a number symbol other than "3" and "7". In addition, it is changeable suitably which kind of symbol is used for a probability variation symbol or a normal symbol.

  In addition, in the battle revival jackpot variation, the variation pattern (THP 004) of the effect flow in which Zoro eyes of definite variation symbols are stopped and displayed without so-called symbol promotion and the definite variation symbols when Zoro eyes of normal symbols are stopped There is a variation pattern (THP 005, THP 022) of the effect flow that is fixedly displayed as it is without being changed to. That is, when the resurrection effect is performed after the battle reach, the symbol promotion effect is not performed.

  Further, the story jackpot fluctuation includes a story success jackpot fluctuation in which success production is performed in story reach and a story revival jackpot fluctuation in which a resurrection production is performed after a failure production in story reach.

  And in the story success jackpot variation, the variation pattern (THP 006) of the effect flow in which Zoro eyes of definite variation symbols are stopped and displayed without so-called symbol promotion being done, and the symbols of Zoro eyes of normal symbols are stopped and displayed A change pattern (THP 007) of the effect flow in which Zoro eyes of definite variation symbol are stopped and displayed after successful promotion, and when Zoro's eye of normal symbol is stopped and displayed, it is definitely displayed as it is without changing to a definite variation pattern And the variation pattern (THP 008, THP 023) of the effect flow.

  In addition, for story revival jackpot fluctuation, fluctuation pattern (THP009) of the production flow where Zoro eyes of definite variation symbol are stopped and displayed without so-called symbol promotion and definite variation symbol when Zoro eyes of normal symbol are stopped and displayed There is a variation pattern (THP 010, THP 024) of the effect flow that is fixedly displayed as it is without being changed to. That is, when the rebirth effect is performed after the story reach, the symbol promotion effect is not performed.

  In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 031” is a battle defeat losing fluctuation in which battle reach is performed. The battle defeat losing fluctuation is a fluctuation pattern of the rendering flow in which a defeat effect (failure effect effect) is performed in the battle reach and a resurrection effect is not performed. In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 032” is a story failure lost fluctuation in which story reach is performed. The story failure loss fluctuation is a fluctuation pattern of the effect flow in which failure rendition is performed in the story reach and resurrection rendition is not performed. In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 033” is an N loss fluctuation in which N reach is performed but SP reach (battle reach and story reach) is not performed.

  In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP041” is “normal A loss fluctuation” in which the fluctuation effect ends in 10 seconds without the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 becoming a reach, and “THP042” is the effect pattern EZ1 , EZ2 and EZ3 do not reach reach, and the fluctuation effect is “normal B loss fluctuation” which ends in 7 seconds, “THP 043” is 3 seconds of fluctuation effect without the reach of the design patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 Ending with the “normal C change”. In addition, the reach is a state in which one of the plurality of effect symbols that is variably displayed is the remaining one, and depending on which symbol the fluctuation symbol is displayed and stopped, It is a state (for example, the state of "7 ↓ 7") which is a combination of effect symbols indicating that the game state becomes advantageous to the player (for example, becoming the big hit game state).

  In the present embodiment, SP reach such as battle reach and story reach is executed through N reach, and N reach is executed when normal fluctuation is executed and the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 become reach states (reach states). (See the column of the production flow of the special figure fluctuation presentation in FIG. 29).

  Next, the fluctuation pattern determination of Special Figure 2 from the first fluctuation to the 30th fluctuation in the high probability state and the short time state will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 determines the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern using the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 from the first fluctuation to the 30th fluctuation in the high probability state and the time-shortened state.

  The game control microcomputer 101 determines the big hit as a result of the big hit determination performed in the special figure 2 determination process in the special figure 2 change pattern determination process according to the first change to the 30th change in the high probability state and the short time state. Based on the result, the result of the reach determination, and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is determined. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 30, when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 3", the gaming control microcomputer 101 of "THP 051" to "THP 053" as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. It is possible to determine either. Further, when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is “big hit symbol 4”, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines “THP 054” as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. Moreover, the microcomputer 101 for game control is a case where the result of the big hit determination is not a "big hit" and the result of the reach determination is "with reach" or when it is "without reach", the special figure 2 fluctuation As a pattern, "THP055" is determined.

  Here, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern “THP 051” to “THP 054” is a striking fluctuation in which a big hit is notified without the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 becoming reach after the normal fluctuation is started. . In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern “THP055” is an immediate loss fluctuation in which each of the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is stopped and displayed at once after the normal fluctuation is started. The fluctuation time of the immediate loss fluctuation is as short as 1 second. In this embodiment, for the period from the first fluctuation to the 30th fluctuation in the high probability state and the short time state, all of the “immediate loss fluctuation” (THP055) are selected except in the case where the jackpot is won. Therefore, the 30 special figure fluctuations (the fluctuation display of the special symbol) during this period are digested in about 30 seconds if the jackpot is not won. Then, when the jackpot is won in this period, the strike effect (corresponding to the specific win notification effect) is executed. In the jackpot effect, a jackpot win is notified suddenly without the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 becoming a reach. As described above, in the present embodiment, the period from the first change to the 30th change in the high probability state and the short time state is a period in which a jackpot is suddenly notified to the player. Therefore, this period is referred to as a strike period, and the effect mode during the strike period is particularly referred to as a strike mode.

  In addition, the variation pattern (THP 051) of the effect flow in which Zoro eyes of a definite variation symbol are stopped and displayed without so-called symbol promotion in the bump variation, and the symbol promotion after the Zoro eyes of a regular symbol are stopped and displayed The fluctuation pattern (THP052) of the effect flow that Zoro eyes of the odd variation symbol are stopped and displayed in success, and the Zoro eyes of the normal symbol are fixedly displayed without being changed without being changed to the odd variation symbol Variation patterns (THP 053, THP 054) of the effect flow.

  Next, main effects (normal fluctuation, N reach, battle reach, story reach, revival effect, design) that constitute the special figure fluctuation effect in the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern and special figure 2 fluctuation pattern) mentioned above Among the promotion effects and the hit effects), the battle reach, the story reach, the resurrection effects, the symbol promotion effects and the hit effects will be described in detail. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the special image fluctuation effect, and emits light using the frame lamp 53 or the panel lamp 54 according to the display of the effect image. It is possible to execute effects, sound effects using the speaker 52, movable body effects using the movable devices 55, 56, 58, and operation effects using the input device (the normal button 40 and the special button 41).

<Battle reach>
Battle reach is a reach effect in which an ally character and an enemy character battle. The battle reach has a critical branch, and branches to a success effect (victory effect) in which an ally character wins against an enemy character or a failure effect (defeat effect) in which an ally character defeats an enemy character. The success effect acts as an effect indicating that the player has won the jackpot. The failure effect acts as an effect indicating that the player has not won the jackpot. In addition, failure presentation may be performed, even when it is elected to the jackpot (see "Battle revival jackpot variation" in FIG. 29).

  In the critical branch in battle reach, an operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the special button 41 is executed. In response to the special button 41 being operated during the operation effective period in this operation instruction effect, or in response to the elapse of the operation effective period without the special button 41 being operated, a success effect or a failure effect Is executed.

<Story reach>
Story reach is a reach production that shows a story about the work that is the motif of this pachinko gaming machine PY1. The story reach has a bifurcation branch, and branches to a success rendering in which the story ends the good end, or a failure rendering in which the story ends the bad end. The success presentation in the story reach functions as a presentation that suggests that the player has won the jackpot as well as the success presentation in the battle reach. The failure effect in the story reach functions as an effect that suggests that the player has not won the jackpot as well as the failure effect in the battle reach. In addition, failure presentation may be performed, even when it is elected to the jackpot (see "story revival jackpot fluctuation" in FIG. 29).

  In the final branch in the story reach, an operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the normal button 40 or the special button 41 is performed. During the effective period of operation in this operation instruction effect, the effective period of operation in response to the operation of the operation unit (normal button 40 or the special button 41) of the operation object being operated or without the operation unit of the operation object being operated In response to the passage of the game, the successful presentation or the failure presentation is executed.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won, the battle reach is more easily selected than the story reach, and in the case of a loss, the story reach is more easily selected than the battle reach (see FIG. 29). ). That is, in the present embodiment, the battle reach is a reach effect having a higher jackpot expectation degree than the story reach.

<Return production>
The resurrection effect is an effect that is executed when a failure effect is executed in the battle reach or the story reach although the jackpot has been won. The revival effect functions as an effect that suggests that the jackpot has been won. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the resurrection effect is an effect of displaying a specific image G70 (an image of an ally character with a symbol mark on the back side) on the display unit 50a (FIG. 37 (A), FIG. See D).

  Here, in the present embodiment, as the execution pattern of the resurrection effect, there are two patterns having different timings at which the resurrection effect is performed. The two patterns are respectively referred to as a first revival pattern (revival P1) and a second revival pattern (revival P2). The first revival pattern is a revival pattern when the battle revival jackpot variation is selected, and the second revival pattern is a revival pattern when the story revival jackpot variation is selected. In the first revival pattern, after the display of the image as the SP reach (battle reach) is finished and the normal background image (for example, the background image for daytime G102) is displayed, the effect designs EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are displayed. The re-variation display is performed without the stop display being definitively displayed, and the resurrection production is executed during the re-variation display. When the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are re-varied, the same operation instruction effect as the operation instruction effect in the mini character operation advance notice to be described later is executed (see FIG. 36D). During this operation instruction effect, in response to the player operating the normal button 40, the resurrection effect is executed. In addition, also when the operation valid period passes without the normal button 40 being operated, the resurrection effect is executed.

  On the other hand, in the second revival pattern, an image as SP reach (story reach) is displayed, and at the timing at which the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with a reach losing eye (corresponding to a nonspecific mode). , Resurrection production is executed. The execution of the resurrection effect is not performed based on the operation of the operation unit such as the normal button 40, but is performed in response to the arrival of a predetermined execution timing (see FIGS. 40A and 40D).

<Design promotion effect>
The symbol promotion effect is a case where success effect is executed in battle reach or story reach, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 constituting the stop mode (Zoro eyes) suggesting a jackpot win are the normal symbols (this embodiment) In some cases, it is executed in the case of “1”, “2”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “8”, “9”). When the symbol promotion effect is executed, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 constituting the Zoro eyes are changed from the normal symbol to the probable symbol. In other words, the symbol promotion effect functions as an effect that suggests that the player is elected to the probability variation jackpot, and an effect that implies that the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game is controlled to a high probability state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the symbol promotion effect is an effect of displaying a specific image G70 (an image of an ally character with a symbol mark on the back side) on the display unit 50a as in the resurrection effect (FIG. See E). As described above, in the present embodiment, the same effect is performed by the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect.

<Cumshot production>
The striking effect is an effect that is executed without undergoing reach from the state in which all three of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed. When the strike effect is executed, the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed with the eyes. The jackpot effect functions as an effect that suggests a jackpot win to the player. In addition, since the stump effect is executed without reaching the reach of the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, it functions as an effect that gives the player a pleasant surprise. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the bumping effect is an effect of displaying the specific image G70 (image of the ally character with the symbol mark on the back side) on the display unit 50a as in the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect (See FIG. 42 (C)).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the same effect (effect of displaying the specific image G70 on the display unit 50a) is performed by the three effects of the resurrection effect, the symbol promotion effect, and the strike effect. In other words, a common effect is to be executed as an effect for notifying a player of an advantageous thing. Therefore, in various cases, it is easy for the player to grasp that something is in a good state.

  Next, determination of the operation part used for the operation presentation at the time of a critical branch in battle reach or story reach is explained. This determination is made based on the determination table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 31, the effect control microcomputer 121 always executes an operation effect for operating the special button 41 at the critical branch in battle reach ("battle win jackpot fluctuation in the figure," battle revival jackpot fluctuation " , "Battle defeat lost fluctuation" (see the column).

  On the other hand, in the critical branch in the story reach, there are cases where an operation effect for operating the normal button 40 is performed and an operation effect for operating the special button 41 is performed. More specifically, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is "story success jackpot fluctuation", the effect control microcomputer 121 operates in the case of the main branch. The special button 41 is selected at a rate of 30%, and the normal button 40 is selected at a rate of 70%, as the operation unit used for the effect. In addition, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is “story resurrection jackpot fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 always selects the normal button 40 as the operation unit used for the operation effect in the case of the critical branch. In addition, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is “story failure jackpot fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects the special button 41 at a ratio of 1% as the operation unit used for the operation effect at the time of the final branch. The button 40 is selected at a rate of 99%.

  That is, in the main branch of the story reach, in principle, the operation effect using the normal button 40 is performed, and the operation effect using the special button 41 is an effect having a very high jackpot expectation degree It is about to be executed rarely. Therefore, the player can recognize that the possibility of winning a jackpot is high when the operation effect using the special button 41 is performed at the sudden branch of the story reach. Also, while battle reach is a reach effect with a higher degree of jackpot expectation than story reach (see FIG. 29), in the main branch of the battle reach, operation effect using the special button 41 is always executed ing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the operation effect using the special button 41 (or the operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the special button 41) is the operation effect using the normal button 40 (or the operation instruction instructing the operation of the normal button 40). It can be said that the jackpot expectation degree is higher than the presentation effect), and the success presentation is easy to be executed. In the present embodiment, in the story revival jackpot variation, the operation effect using the special button 41 is not executed. However, the selection ratio and the like shown in FIG. 31 can be appropriately changed within a range that does not affect the game.

  Next, the relationship between the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 32, in the present embodiment, the symbol promotion effect may be executed in the variation in which the resurrection effect is not executed, but in the variation in which the resurrection effect is executed, the symbol promotion effect is not executed. . This is to make it easy for the player to grasp the meaning of the effect by preventing the effect from being unnecessarily complicated while the same effect is performed in the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect.

  Next, the mini character operation preview (one of the preview effects) that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. When the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the special figure fluctuation start command is received in the received command analysis process (S4201), the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the fluctuation start command reception process. In the fluctuation start command reception process, first, a fluctuation effect pattern selection process is performed, and then, a notice effect selection process is performed. In the variation effect pattern selection process, based on the special figure variation pattern indicated by the received special figure variation start command, the effect pattern (sub variation pattern) of the variation effect is selected. Then, in the notice effect selection processing, the notice effect to be performed along with the change effect is selected based on the special view change pattern indicated by the received special view change start command. The information on the notice effect selected in the notice effect selection process is stored in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124, and is included in the notice effect start command and transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 which has received the notice effect start command displays the image of the designated notice effect on the display unit 50a. Further, based on the information of the notice effect stored in the effect RAM 124, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs effect means (speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, movable device, input device, etc.) related to the notice effect. Control as appropriate.

  The mini character operation advance notice is an effect performed at the timing when the change display of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is started, and it is expected that the effect designs EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 will be reach in the change where the mini character operation advance notice is performed. It is an effect that suggests a degree (reach expectation). In the present embodiment, in the mini character operation preview, first, the mini character is displayed, and a character image of “press the button!” Is displayed as a line of the mini character prompting operation of the normal button 40 (see FIG. 38C). ). Then, when the normal button 40 is operated during such an operation instruction effect, subsequently, an image indicating a degree of expectation of reach such as “chance!” Or “... See FIG. 38 (D) (E)). Note that the effect of displaying an image such as “chance!” Or “...” Is an example of the effect (reach notice effect) indicating the expected degree of reach.

  The lottery of the mini character operation advance notice is performed based on the lottery table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 33, in the effect control microcomputer 121, the special figure change pattern indicated by the special view 1 change start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is "battle win jackpot change", "battle revival big hit change", " In the case of “Story Success Jackpot Fluctuation” or “Story Revival Jackpot Fluctuation”, select 88% of the mini character operation notices in which the line displayed in response to the operation of the button 40 is “Chance!” .... ”is selected at a rate of 2%. In the case of these special drawing fluctuation patterns, the ratio of not performing the mini character operation advance notice is 10%.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 is displayed according to the operation of the normal button 40 when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is "N big hit fluctuation". Select 75% of mini character operation notices whose words are "chance!" And select 5% of mini character operation notices whose "...". In the case of this special figure fluctuation pattern, the ratio of not performing the mini character operation advance notice is 20%.

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 normally receives the normal button 40 when the special view change pattern indicated by the special view 1 change start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is "battle loss lost change" or "story failure lost change". Select the 85% of the mini character operation notices whose serifs are displayed as "chance!" In response to the operation of and select 5% of the mini character operation notices "...". In the case of these special drawing fluctuation patterns, the ratio of not performing the mini character operation advance notice is 10%.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 is displayed according to the operation of the normal button 40 when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “N number fluctuation”. Select 70% of the mini character operation notices whose words are "chance!" And select 10% of the mini character operation notices "...". In the case of this special view fluctuation pattern, the ratio of not performing the mini character operation advance notice is 20%.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 is displayed according to the operation of the normal button 40 when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “normal loss fluctuation”. The mini character operation notice whose speech is "chance!" Is selected at a rate of 3%, and the mini character operation notice "..." is selected at a rate of 27%. In the case of this special view fluctuation pattern, the rate of not executing the mini character operation advance notice is 70%.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the variation where reach is established, the mini character operation advance notice in which “chance!” Is displayed is easily selected according to the operation of the normal button 40, and the mini character operation in which “.. It is difficult to select a notice. On the contrary, in the change where the reach is not established (normal change of change), it is difficult to select the mini character operation advance notice in which “chance!” Is displayed, and the mini character operation notice in which “... Therefore, the mini character operation advance notice in which "chance!" Is displayed functions as an effect that the reach expectation degree is higher than the mini character operation advance notice in which "..." is displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the mini character operation advance notice is easier to be executed in the change in which the reach is established than the change in which the reach is not established. Therefore, the mini character operation advance notice is an effect that is expected to reach reach.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, in each variation of battle reach, story reach, and N reach, jackpot variation is selected as the "chance!" Mini character operation notice rather than lost variation. It is easy to do. For this reason, the mini character operation notice of "chance!" Functions as an effect having a higher jackpot expectation degree than the mini character operation notice of "....". In addition, the mini character operation advance notice also functions as an effect that indicates the jackpot expectation.

  Next, an example of execution of characteristic effects (battle reach, mini character operation advance notice, story reach, hit effect, etc.) in the present pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described.

<Battle reach>
A specific example of battle reach will be described. As shown in FIG. 34, in the battle reach, first, an image or the like indicating that the teammate character and the enemy character are to fight is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 34 (A)). Then, an image showing that the ally character and the enemy character attack and prevent is displayed on the display unit 50a (not shown). Before the sudden branch, an image indicating that the teammate character attacks the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 34 (B)). In the final branch, an operation instruction effect (an example of a first operation instruction effect) for instructing the operation of the special button 41 is executed (FIG. 34 (C)). If the special button 41 is operated during the operation valid period of the special button 41, it is a success which suggests that the jackpot has been won if it is a battle reach performed based on the battle victory jackpot change (see FIG. 29). As an effect (winning effect), a winning image (including an image that the ally character is pleased with and a background image for success G80) indicating that the ally character has won the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect pattern EZ1 , EZ2 and EZ3 are displayed as a temporary stop at "Zoro eyes" indicating a jackpot win (Fig. 34 (D)). The small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are still being displayed in a variable manner.

  By the way, with temporary stop indication, fluctuation speed of the production design is “0”, but it has made changes such as shaking and repeating expansion and contraction at the position where the production design is displayed, and it has stopped completely Say no state. On the other hand, when it is said that the final stop display (final stop display) or the final stop display (final stop display), it means that the effect pattern is completely stopped. The term "stop display" may refer to temporary stop display or fixed stop display.

  On the other hand, in the case of a battle reach executed based on battle revival jackpot fluctuation or battle defeat jackpot fluctuation (see FIG. 29), failure production that suggests a loss according to the operation of the special button 41 (loss production) As a defeat image (including an image that the ally character is sad and a background image for failure G81) is displayed on the display unit 50a as the ally character defeats the enemy character's counter and is displayed, the effect pattern EZ1,1 A temporary stop is displayed with "reach lost eyes" indicating that EZ2 and EZ3 are lost (Fig. 34 (E)). The small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are still being displayed in a variable manner.

  Subsequently, the effect development when the success effect is executed in the battle reach will be described. When the success effect is executed in the battle reach, the image of the success effect shown in FIG. 34 (D) is not displayed for a predetermined time (FIG. 35 (A)), and then the promotion symbol is promoted (normal symbol to probability symbol) “Promotion of design promotion” is executed. In the symbol promotion roar, while displaying so that the image G83 of the eyebrows may be superimposed on the front of the rendering pattern EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 in the display unit 50a, the rendering patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are gradually reduced (FIG. )). That is, this effect is an effect such as hiding the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 currently displayed as being temporarily stopped with a whistle. Then, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 disappear from the display unit 50a once and then are displayed again in the final stop mode.

  If the symbol elevation is unsuccessful (if it is not promoted to a definite symbol), as shown in FIG. 35 (C), the zolo of the same regular symbol as the symbol before elevation (here, “2 ···· 2”) is tentative The stop display is made (FIG. 35 (C)), and then the fixed stop display is made with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 (FIG. 35 (D)). Such an effect is performed when the special figure fluctuation pattern is "THP003" or "THP021" (see FIG. 29). In addition, in this form, although it is a probability change big hit, symbol promotion may not be performed during a fluctuation production (special figure change pattern "THP003"). In this case, during the subsequent jackpot game, notification that the jackpot is a probability variation jackpot (that the gaming state after the jackpot game is in a high probability state) is notified.

  On the other hand, when the symbol promotion turning is successful (in the case of being promoted to a probable symbol), an image G83 of a rose is displayed on the display unit 50a, and after the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 disappear, the symbol promotion effect is performed. The symbol promotion effect is an effect that suggests that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are promoted from a normal symbol to a probable symbol. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment displays, as a symbol promotion effect, a specific image G70 showing a symbol mark (predetermined image G84) attached to the back side by the ally character, as shown in FIG. A symbol display effect (corresponding to a predetermined effect) to be displayed on 50a is performed. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, it is only this symbol display effect that the ally character shows the symbol mark (predetermined image G84) on the back side. Therefore, the symbol display effect has an effect of giving the player a special feeling or surprise by the display of the symbol mark (predetermined image G84) which is not easily displayed during the game.

  When the effect time of the symbol promotion effect elapses, as shown in FIG. 35 (F), Zoro eyes of the odd symbol are temporarily displayed (FIG. 35 (F)), and thereafter, the final stop together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 It is displayed (FIG. 35 (G)). Such an effect is performed when the special figure fluctuation pattern is “THP 002” (see FIG. 29). In addition, although FIG. 34 and FIG. 35 showed the example in which the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the normal symbol along with the success rendering in the battle reach, if the special figure fluctuation pattern is "THP 001", the success is The production symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are displayed temporarily with a probability change symbol together with the effect.

  Next, the effect development when the failure effect is executed in the battle reach will be described. When a failure effect is executed in battle reach, the image of the failure effect shown in FIG. 34E is not displayed for a predetermined time, and then the background image before battle reach (here, a background image G102 for daytime normal use) is displayed. It is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 36A). That is, the background image of the display unit 50a is a background image for failure G81 (Battle reach image) in a state where the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped by the reach loss eye (here, "2.3.2"). Of the background image G102 for daytime. Then, if this failure effect is executed based on the battle defeat lost fluctuation (special figure fluctuation pattern “THP 031”, refer to FIG. 29), as shown in FIG. 36 (B), effect symbols EZ1 and EZ2 , EZ3 are reachably stopped and displayed together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 (FIG. 36 (B)).

  On the other hand, if the failure rendition is executed based on the battle revival jackpot fluctuation (special figure fluctuation pattern “THP004”, “THP005”, “THP022”, see FIG. 29), the first revival pattern Revival production is executed with. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 36 (C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 which have been temporarily stopped at the reach loss are re-variated without being displayed as a fixed stop. Then, in the state where each of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is completely scrolled, the same re-change notice effect (equivalent to the suggested effect) is the same as the operation instruction effect (see FIG. 38C) in the mini character operation advance notice. It is executed (FIG. 36 (D)). That is, an image G86 in which the mini character says the words "press the button" is displayed on the display unit 50a. In this pachinko gaming machine PY 1, the player is made to recognize as if the next fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation) has been started by such an effect. In particular, since the image G86 in which the mini character says the word "press a button" is displayed on the display unit 50a in accordance with the re-variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are simply displayed. It is possible to make it look as if the next fluctuation presentation was started more realistically than the configuration of displaying the re-variation display.

  Then, during the re-variation advance notice effect, the operation valid period of the normal button 40 is set. When the normal button 40 is operated during the operation effective period, the resurrection effect is executed in response to the operation of the normal button 40. The revival effect is an effect that suggests a jackpot win to the player. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, as the rebirth effect, as shown in FIG. 37A, the display unit 50a displays the specific image G70 showing the symbol mark (predetermined image G84) attached to the back side by the ally character. Perform the symbol display effect to be displayed on the. That is, the same effect as the symbol promotion effect is performed.

  When the effect time of the resurrection effect elapses, as shown in FIG. 37 (B), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are temporarily stopped by the Zoro eyes, and then the stop symbols are displayed together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3. (FIG. 37 (C)). The effect accompanied by such a resurrection effect is performed when the special figure fluctuation pattern is "THP004", "THP005", or "THP022" (see FIG. 29). In the present embodiment, when the rebirth effect is performed, the symbol promotion effect is not performed. In FIG. 37, an example is shown in which the resurrection effect is performed and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with normal symbols (the special pattern fluctuation patterns are "THP005" and "THP022"), but the special figure If the variation pattern is "THP004", a resurrection effect is performed, and the temporary stop symbols of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are displayed with probability variation symbols.

<Mini character operation notice>
Next, a specific example of the mini character operation advance notice will be described. The mini character operation advance notice is an effect performed at the timing when the change display of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is started, and it is expected that the effect designs EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 will be reach in the change where the mini character operation advance notice is performed. It is an effect that suggests a degree. Specifically, when the microcomputer for effect control 121 executes the mini character operation advance notice, as shown in FIGS. 38 (A), (B) and (C), it will soon be time to start the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3. The image G86 in which the mini character says the words "press button" is displayed on the display unit 50a. This image G86 is the same as the image G86 in the first resurrection pattern (the image G86 displayed in the re-attention change presentation, see FIG. 36 (D)). Then, when the normal button 40 is operated during the effect (operation instruction effect) period for displaying the image G86, in response to this operation, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays a line of “...” A word (Fig. 38 (D)) or a message of "Chance!" Is displayed (Fig. 38 (E)). Which line to display is determined by the lottery of the mini character operation notice mentioned above (see FIG. 33).

  As described above, in this embodiment, by performing the mini character operation advance notice, the interest at the start of the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is improved. And when performing revival production after failure production is performed by battle reach, while making fluctuation display of production design EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3, also the operation indication production in this mini character operation announcement (corresponds to “predetermined effect” In order to perform the same re-attribution announcement effect at the same time as) (FIG. 36 (D)), the player can easily recognize the re-attribution display before the resurrection production as a true new change display. Therefore, it is possible to give a stronger surprise to the player when the resurrection effect is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

<Story reach>
Next, a specific example of story reach will be described. As shown in FIG. 39, in the story reach, first, an image indicating an ally character and a heroine appearing in the story is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 39A). The effect shown in FIG. 39 (A) functions as an effect that suggests the start of story reach. Then, an image along the story is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 39 (B)). The story reach of this embodiment is a story in which an ally character searches for a heroine. In the success branch of story reach, an operation instruction effect (an example of a second operation instruction effect, FIG. 39 (C)) for instructing the operation of the normal button 40, or an operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the special button 41 (FIG. 39) Either (D)) is performed. In addition, it is determined by lottery which operation instruction effect is executed at the critical branch of story reach (see FIG. 31). By the way, the operation effect using the special button 41 is an effect with a very high expectation of a big hit.

  If the operation part (normal button 40 or special button 41) of the operation target is operated during the operation effective period, the jackpot is won if it is a story reach performed based on the story success jackpot fluctuation (see FIG. 29). While the success image (including the image that the heroine is pleased with and the background image for success G80) indicating that the heroine is willing is displayed on the display unit 50a as a success effect (a winning effect) that indicates that the The production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with "Zoro eyes" indicating a jackpot win (Fig. 39 (E)). The small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are still being displayed in a variable manner. The success image shown in FIG. 39E is an image that means a story in which the teammate character and the heroine meet.

  On the other hand, in the case of a story reach that is executed based on the story revival jackpot fluctuation or the story failure jackpot fluctuation (see FIG. 29), in response to the operation of the operation unit (normal button 40 or special button 41) to be operated, A failure image (including a sad image of the heroine and a background image for failure G81) indicating that the heroine is sad is displayed on the display unit 50a as a failure effect (a loss effect) indicating that there is a display The symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are displayed temporarily as "reach lost eyes" suggesting a loss (FIG. 39 (F)). The small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are still being displayed in a variable manner. Also, the failure image shown in FIG. 39F is an image that means a story in which the teammate character can not meet the heroine.

  When the success rendering is performed in the story reach (FIG. 39 (E)), the subsequent development of the rendering is the same as the case where the success rendering is performed in the battle reach. That is, if it is a special figure change pattern "THP 006" in which a probability change symbol is displayed in a stopped state without passing through a symbol promotion in the story success jackpot change, the 変 eyes of a probability change symbol are displayed temporarily stop together with the success effect, and the decision stop Is displayed. Moreover, if it is a special figure change pattern "THP 007" in which a definite variation pattern is stopped and displayed after a symbol promotion among the story success jackpot variation, a symbol promotion effect is executed from a symbol promotion round, and a definite variation symbol is fixedly displayed . Note that the symbol promotion effect performed after the success effect is performed in the story reach is the same effect as the symbol promotion effect performed after the success effect is performed in the battle reach. In addition, if it is special figure fluctuation pattern “THP008”, “THP 023” where normal design is stopped being displayed being failed in the symbol success which is successful in design success jackpot fluctuation, the design design EZ1 EZ2 and EZ3 are normal symbols after turning up the design promotion The confirmation stop display is displayed. In the case of the special figure fluctuation pattern “THP 008”, it is reported that the jackpot is a probability change jackpot during the jackpot game (the gaming state after the jackpot game becomes a high probability state).

  Next, the effect development when the failure effect is executed in the story reach will be described. When a failure effect is executed in the story reach (Fig. 39 (F), Fig. 40 (A)), this failure effect is executed based on the story failure lost fluctuation (see special pattern fluctuation pattern "THP 032", Fig. 29). 40A, the image of the failure effect shown in FIG. 40A is not displayed for a predetermined time, and then the background image before story reach (here, the background image for daytime G102) is displayed on the display unit 50a. (FIG. 40 (B)). That is, the background image of the display unit 50a is a background image for failure G81 (image of story reach) in a state where the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped by the reach loss eye (here, "2.3.2"). Of the background image G102 for daytime. Then, the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are displayed in a fixed stop together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 with the reach losing eye in sight (FIG. 40 (C)).

  On the other hand, if the failure rendition is executed based on the story revival jackpot fluctuation (special pattern fluctuation pattern “THP009”, “THP010”, “THP024”, see FIG. 29), the second revival pattern Revival production is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40A and 40D, the failure background image G81 is displayed, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped at the reach loss eye (see FIG. 40A). 40 (A), the resurrection effect is executed (FIG. 40 (D)). The revival effect performed after the failure effect is performed in the story reach is the same effect as the resurrection effect performed after the failure effect is performed in the battle reach. That is, this pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a symbol display for displaying on the display unit 50a a specific image G70 showing a symbol mark (predetermined image G84) attached to the back side by the ally character even as a resurrection effect after story reach Make a presentation.

  When the effect time of the resurrection effect elapses, as shown in FIG. 40 (E), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped by the Zoro eyes, and then the stop symbols are displayed together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3. (FIG. 40 (F)). When the resurrection effect is performed, the symbol promotion effect is not performed. In addition, in FIG. 40, the case where the resurrection effect is performed and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the normal symbols (the special pattern fluctuation pattern is “THP010” or “THP024”) is shown, If the special figure fluctuation pattern is "THP 009", a resurrection effect is performed, and temporary stop display of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is performed with a probability pattern.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the resurrection production is performed when the resurrection production is performed after the battle reach (in the case of the battle resurrection jackpot variation) and when the resurrection production is performed after the story reach (in the case of the story resurgence jackpot fluctuation) The execution timing of is different. The execution pattern of the former revival effect is the first revival pattern, and the execution pattern of the latter revival effect is the second revival pattern. As shown in FIG. 41 (A), in the first revival pattern, after the failure effect is executed at the sudden branch of the battle reach, the background image is a daytime normal image from the background image for failure G81 (a background image as a battle reach). After returning to the background image G102 (normal background image) (background return), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are re-variated without being displayed as a final stop, and a resurrection effect is executed.

  On the other hand, in the second revival pattern, as shown in FIG. 41B, after the failure rendition is executed at the sudden branch of the story reach, the background image is a failure background image G81 (a background as a story reach Before returning from the image to the daytime normal background image G102 (normal background image) (that is, at the timing when the failure background image G81 is displayed), a resurrection effect is performed. Further, in the second resurrection pattern, the resurrection effect is executed from the state in which the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped at the reach loss eye.

  Thus, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment is provided with two types of revival patterns. However, the effect content of the resurrection effect is the same regardless of which resurrection pattern (FIGS. 37A and 40D). Therefore, it is easy for the player who saw the revival effect to understand the significance of the effect regardless of which revival pattern. In particular, in this embodiment, the symbol display effect is carried out as a resurrection effect before the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed by Zorome (stop mode meaning a big hit), so it is performed in the present pachinko gaming machine PY1 For players with little knowledge about the effects, it may be difficult to grasp the meaning of the effects, but with this pachinko gaming machine PY1, since the resurrection effects common to both resurrection patterns are used, the player grasps the meaning It has become easy to do, and the game interest is enhanced.

<Cumshot production>
Next, a specific example of the hit presentation will be described. In the present embodiment, the jackpot effect is executed when a jackpot is won during a jackpot period (from the jackpot mode being controlled to the first jackpot) in the high probability state and the time change state from the first fluctuation to the 30th fluctuation. (See special pattern variation pattern “THP 051”, “THP 052”, “THP 053”, “THP 054”, FIG. 30). When the special figure fluctuation pattern is "collision fluctuation", as shown in FIGS. 42 (A) to (C), it will be soon (in about 1 second) when the fluctuation display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is started. , Butt production is executed. The jackpot effect is an effect that suggests a jackpot win to the player. The pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment displays a specific image G70 showing a symbol mark (predetermined image G84) which the ally character is putting on the back side as shown in FIG. Perform a symbol display effect to be displayed on 50a. That is, the same effect as the resurrection effect or the symbol promotion effect is performed.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment executes symbol display effect (FIG. 42C) common to the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect as the bump effect. For this reason, even if the stump effect (symbol display effect) is executed at an unexpected timing (at a timing immediately after the variation display of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 starts), the meaning of the effect is the game It is easy to recognize that it is an advantage to the person who is a suggestion of jackpot winning.

  When the effect time of the striking effect has passed, as shown in FIG. 42 (D), the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the eyes. After that, the design symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are gradually reduced, and the "pattern promotion turning" to be hidden in the mist image G83 is executed (Fig. 42 (E)). In the case of THP 053 "or" THP 054 ", as shown in FIG. 42 (F), as shown in FIG. The display is made again in 2 · 2 “), and the fixed symbols are displayed together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3. On the other hand, in the case of promoting it to a probable variation symbol (in the case where the special figure variation pattern is “THP052”, refer to FIG. 30), as shown in FIG. 42 (G), zorome of the definite variation symbol of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ( Here, "7, 7, 7" is displayed again, and the fixed symbols are displayed together with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3. In addition, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is "THP 053", the symbol is not promoted during the fluctuation effect of what is a probability variation jackpot. In this case, it is reported that the jackpot is a probability change jackpot during the subsequent jackpot game (that the gaming state after the jackpot game becomes a high probability state). In addition, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is “THP051”, the production design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is displayed temporarily with probability variation design after hitting production, the production design EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 stop decision with the appearance eye Is displayed.

8. Effects of the Embodiment As described above in detail, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, after the failure effect is executed in the battle reach, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 being stopped and displayed are fluctuated again Then, a resurrection effect is performed (see FIG. 34, FIG. 36, and FIG. 37). Therefore, for the player, after the failure production, since the resurrection production is performed while recognizing that the next change is started without the resurrection production, the surprise of the resurrection production is increased, thereby the game Interest is improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, before the execution of the resurrection effect, the re-variation notice effect (the resurrection in which the image G86 in which the mini character says the word "press a button" is displayed on the display unit 50a A suggested effect that suggests that a effect is to be performed is performed (FIG. 36 (D)). For this reason, the re-attribution advance notice effect creates a pleasure of noticing the resurrection effect, which can further improve the game entertainment.

  Particularly in this embodiment, the re-attribution advance notice effect (FIG. 36D) is an effect (operation instruction effect in the mini character operation advance notice, FIG. 38C) to be performed at the start of the change display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. Same effect as). Therefore, it is possible to make the re-variation display of the rendering designs EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 performed after the failure rendering and before the resurrection rendering more natural as the start of a new variation rendering. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to notice that the resurrection effect is executed, and it is possible to further improve the unexpectedness of the resurrection effect.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the re-variation advance notice effect (FIG. 36 (D)) indicating that the resurrection effect is to be executed is the operation instruction effect for instructing the normal button 40 to be operated. When the normal button 40 is operated in accordance with this operation instruction effect, a resurrection effect is performed (see FIG. 36D and FIG. 37A). That is, the resurrection effect is performed at the timing when the player operates the normal button 40 after the re-variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the game interest regarding the resurrection production.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, in the mini character operation preview performed at the start of the variable display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, when the player operates the normal button 40 according to the operation instruction effect, the reach expectation degree 38D (specifically, an effect of displaying “... Shown in FIG. 38 (D) as a line of mini characters, or an indication of“ chance! ”Shown in FIG. 38 (E) as a line of mini characters Effect is performed. Therefore, it is possible to make the player think that the flow of such an effect is general. And, by adopting the same flow of the effect before the resurrection effect, the player who thinks that the effect suggesting the reach expectation is only executed even if the normal button 40 is operated. On the other hand, it is possible to show a revival effect that suggests a jackpot win. Therefore, it is possible to increase the surprise when the resurrection production is performed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the resurrection effect is executed after the battle reach (when the resurrection effect is executed by the first resurrection pattern) and when the resurrection effect is performed after the story reach (When the resurrection effect is executed in the second resurrection pattern), the execution timing of the resurrection effect differs (see FIG. 41). Therefore, expectation can be given to the execution of the resurrection production at a plurality of timings, and the game interest can be improved. Further, for a player who assumes only one of the execution timings, the resurrection effect performed at the other execution timing is a highly surprising effect. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a pleasant surprise by the resurrection production, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the same effect (FIG. 37A, FIG. 37A) as the resurrection effect even when the resurrection effect is executed after the battle reach or when the resurrection effect is executed after the story reach. FIG. 40D is executed. Therefore, it is easy for the player to recognize the meaning of the resurrection production.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the resurrection effect is executed after the battle reach, the display of the effect image as the battle reach is finished, and the daytime background image G102 is displayed. The resurrection effect is executed at (FIG. 36 (D), FIG. 37 (A)). On the other hand, when the resurrection effect is executed after the story reach, the resurrection effect is executed in a state where the effect image (background image for failure G81) as the story reach is displayed (FIGS. 40A and 40D) ). As described above, in the present embodiment, there are two revival patterns in which the display state of the background image when the revival effect is performed is different. However, in both resurrection patterns, the same effect is performed as the resurrection effect (see FIG. 37A and FIG. 40D). Therefore, it is possible to prevent a player who can not immediately grasp the meaning of the resurrection production from appearing.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the resurrection effect is executed after the battle reach, the resurrection effect is executed in a state where the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed (FIG. 36) (A) (C) (D), FIG. 37 (A). On the other hand, when the resurrection effect is executed after the story reach, the resurrection effect is executed in a situation where the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are temporarily stopped at the reach loss eye (FIGS. 40 (A) and (D)) . As described above, in this embodiment, there are two resurrection patterns in which the display states of the effect designs EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are different when the resurrection effect is executed. However, in both resurrection patterns, the same effect is performed as the resurrection effect (see FIG. 37A and FIG. 40D). Therefore, it is possible to prevent a player who can not immediately grasp the meaning of the resurrection production from appearing.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the failure effect is executed in response to the operation of the special button 41 (Fig. 34 (C) (E)), the resurrection effect is displayed in the first resurrection pattern. When the failure effect is executed according to the operation of the normal button 40 (FIGS. 39C and 39F), the resurrection effect is performed in the second resurrection pattern. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the type of the operation unit and the type of the revival pattern are associated with each other, it is possible to improve the fun of the game, such as the occurrence of fun to notice this.

  In particular, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the operation instruction effect (first operation instruction effect) for operating the special button 41 is more than the operation instruction effect (second operation instruction effect) for operating the normal button 40. Also, where the degree of expectation that success effect is executed is high (refer to FIG. 31), the case where failure effect is performed from the first operation instruction effect is more than the case where failure effect is performed from the second operation instruction effect Also, the timing of the resurrection production is delayed. Therefore, the discouragement period of the player after the first operation instruction effect is extended, and it is possible to enhance the uplifting feeling during the resurrection effect accordingly.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the special button 41 is operated in the critical branch of battle reach, but the normal button 40 is performed after the failure effect is performed according to the operation and before the resurrection effect is performed. Operate the As described above, in this embodiment, since the resurrection effect is executed according to the operation of the normal button 40 having no special feeling as compared to the special button 41, it is possible to improve the player's surprise at the time of the resurrection effect, It is possible to improve the game interest.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment has a story reach (first reach effect, first specific effect) and a battle reach having a higher level of jackpot expectation than the story reach (second reach effect, second specification) When it is possible to execute the production, and the failure production is performed in the battle reach, the resurrection production is performed at a specific timing after redisplaying the production patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 whose temporary stop display is displayed, but the story When the failure effect is performed in the reach, the resurrection effect is not performed at the specific timing (the resurrection effect is performed at a timing different from the specific timing). Therefore, by showing that the next change has been started without achieving the jackpot expectation with high reach production and the revival production is not performed, the player is made to have enough regrettable emotion, and the revival production is performed. Since the game is performed, the surprise and excitement given to the player become high, and the game interest can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the effects (FIG. 37 (A) and FIG. 40 (D)) used for the resurrection effect and the effects (FIG. 35 (E)) used for the symbol promotion effect are , The same effect (symbol display effect). That is, common rendition is used for different renditions indicating conversion to a player's favor such as resurrection rendition or symbol promotion rendition. Therefore, it is easy for the player to recognize that the game is advantageous in either case, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the symbol display effect (displaying the specific image G70 showing the symbol mark (the predetermined image G84 attached to the ally character on the back side) as the resurrection effect after the failure effect When the effect shown in the section 50a, see FIG. 37A, is executed, there are cases where either a jackpot (non-probability jackpot) or a normal jackpot is won. On the other hand, when the symbol display effect is executed as the symbol promotion effect after the successful effect, it is determined that the probability change jackpot has been won. As described above, in the present embodiment, the meaning of the symbol display effect differs between when the symbol display effect is performed after the failure effect and when the symbol display effect is performed after the success effect. Therefore, it is possible to increase the interest in the process of the effect until the symbol display effect is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the rebirth effect is performed, the symbol promotion effect is not performed in the variation (see FIG. 32). That is, the symbol display effect is not performed twice or more within one special figure fluctuation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect from becoming complicated.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, not only the symbol display effect is performed as a resurrection effect or a symbol promotion effect, but also as a strike effect which reports a big hit election without passing through the reach (FIG. )). In other words, the effect used for the notification of winning that is difficult to predict, such as a hit effect, is the same effect as informing a conversion to a more advantageous one for the player, such as a revival effect or a symbol promotion effect. Therefore, it is easy for the player to understand the meaning of the hit presentation, and the improvement of the game interest can be expected.

  In addition, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, in the case of performing a bumping effect, if the normal symbol is promoted to a probability variation symbol in the fluctuation, the symbol display effect is not performed but a probability variation symbol is displayed. Promote (Fig. 42 (E) (G)). That is, the symbol display effect is not performed twice or more within one special figure fluctuation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect from becoming complicated.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the resurrection effect is largely performed on the display portion 50a with the symbol mark (predetermined image G84, in other words, "a part of the predetermined character") attached to the back side of the ally character. It is an effect to be displayed. In the present embodiment, the symbol mark attached to the ally character is displayed only in the resurrection effect, the symbol promotion effect, and the strike effect. That is, for the player, for example, it is an image which has no opportunity to view until it gets a so-called "first hit". Such an image is used for an effect such as a resurrection effect or the like, which suddenly shows a situation advantageous to the player, thereby improving the game interest.

  In other words, in this embodiment, it is displayed in other effects of the specific motif (friend character) that may be displayed also in other effects (SP reach etc.) other than the resurrection effect, the symbol promotion effect, and the hit effect. An effect of displaying a difficult portion (symbol mark) in a wide range on the display unit 50a is adopted as a resurrection effect, a symbol promotion effect, and a striking effect. Thus, the symbol display effect is an effect of displaying a symbol mark (predetermined image G84) having a high impact on the player. In the present embodiment, a scene in which a predetermined image G84 having a high impact is displayed is not limited to a resurrection effect, but a scene in which a resurrection effect such as a symbol promotion effect or a strike effect is not performed Are used, and scenes that have neither notified nor informed of the result of the pass / fail judgment. Therefore, the symbol display effect is an effect that makes it easy for the player to associate a good result, and it becomes easy to grasp the meaning of the effect in any scene, and the enjoyment of the whole game can be expected to be improved.

  In this embodiment, the symbol mark (predetermined image G84) is not displayed at all in the effects other than the resurrection effect, the symbol promotion effect, and the bump effect, but it is extremely difficult to be displayed in other effects. It may be displayed rarely.

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. In addition, 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.

  In the above embodiment, an operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the normal button 40 as a suggestive effect that suggests that a resurrection effect is to be performed between the revariation display of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 and the execution of the resurrection effect. However, the contents of the suggested effect can be changed as appropriate without causing any hindrance to the game. For example, an effect of displaying an image of a predetermined character or item on the display unit 50a, an effect of operating a movable body included in a movable device such as the on-board movable device 55, the under-board movable device 56, and the frame movable device 58 It may be an effect of causing a light emitter such as the lamp 54 or the frame lamp 53 to emit light, an effect of outputting a predetermined effect sound from the speaker 52, or the like.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the suggested effect that suggests that the resurrection effect is to be performed is the same effect as the operation instruction effect in the mini character preview effect performed at the start of the change effect, but may be similar effect. Similar effects refer to effects similar to the extent that they can be recognized as the same effect. For example, although the motif to be displayed is the same, the difference such as different display size and display color is included in the category of “similar to a degree that can be recognized as the same effect”. In addition, even if it is adopted as an effect that suggests that the resurrection effect is to be performed, an effect (a completely different effect) that is neither identical nor similar to the “effect that may be performed at the start of the fluctuation effect” is used. Good.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the resurrection effect in the first resurrection pattern and the resurrection effect in the second resurrection pattern are the same effect, but may be similar effects. Here, similar effects refer to effects that are similar to the extent that the player can recognize the same effects even if there are portions that are somewhat different. For example, although the motif to be displayed is the same, the display size and the display color are different, the brightness of the image is different, and whether the operation of the movable body is involved in the display is different. It is included in the category of “similar to the degree that the player can recognize the same effect”.

  In the above embodiment, although the symbol display effect common to the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect is performed, the effect to be performed as the resurrection effect and the effect to be performed as the symbol promotion effect are not completely the same effect but are similar to each other Even the effect is included in the “common predetermined effect”. In the above embodiment, the symbol display effect common to the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect is performed as the hit effect, but the effect performed as the hit effect is the effect performed as the resurrection effect and the effect performed as the symbol promotion effect Even if the effects are not completely the same, but similar effects, they are included in the “common predetermined effect”. In the above embodiment, the symbol display effect common to the three effects of the resurrection effect, the symbol promotion effect, and the strike effect is performed. However, the symbol display effect common to any two effects among these effects is performed. It is good also as composition.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in SP reach (including battle reach and story reach), the operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the normal button 40 and the operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the special button 41 are configured to be executable. On the other hand, an operation instruction effect (an example of a first operation instruction effect) using a specific effect button (an example of a first mode operation unit) in the first mode is provided with a specific effect button capable of mode change. And an operation effect (an example of a second operation instruction effect) using a specific effect button (an example of a second mode operation unit) in the second mode may be executable. Specifically, for example, a presentation button including a movable body is provided, and the presentation button in a state in which the movable body is in operation is a first mode operation unit, and the presentation button in a state in which the movable body is not in operation is a second mode It may be an operation unit. In this case, it is preferable that the operation instruction effect using the first mode operation unit has a higher jackpot expectation than the operation instruction effect using the second mode operation unit. In addition, an effect button incorporating a light emitter is provided, and the effect button in a state in which the light emitter is operating in the first light emission mode is the first mode operation portion, and the light emitter is in the second light emission mode The effect button may be the second mode operation unit.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the operation instruction effect performed during the re-variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 after the failure effect, when the normal button 40 is operated, the return effect is always executed. . On the other hand, there is a configuration in which the resurrection effect may not be executed even when the normal button 40 is operated in the operation instruction effect (that is, re-issuance effect designs EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 after the failure effect with a predetermined probability even in the lost fluctuation A configuration in which variable display and operation instruction effects are performed may be adopted. In such a configuration, the operation instruction effect performed during the re-variation display of the effect designs EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 after the failure effect functions as an effect that suggests that the resurrection effect may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the resurrection effect is performed in the first resurrection pattern (in the case of resurrection effect after battle reach) and in the case where the resurrection effect is performed in the second resurrection pattern (in the case of resurrection effect after story reach) And the probability of the probability variation jackpot may be different. Specifically, for example, the probability of a probability variation jackpot may be significantly higher in the case where the resurrection effect is performed in the first resurrection pattern than in the case where the resurrection effect is performed in the second resurrection pattern. With this configuration, it is possible to increase the player's interest in which resurrection pattern is to be performed, and the game interest can be further improved. In addition, such a configuration has a configuration in which the probability of a probability change jackpot differs depending on the length of time from the execution of the failure production to the execution of the resurrection production, or the time from the execution of the failure production to the execution of the resurrection production is longer However, it can be said that the probability of the probability variation jackpot is high.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when a failure effect is performed in battle reach, a resurrection effect is performed from the state where the failure background image G81 is displayed, and the display symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are temporarily stopped at a reach loss eye The resurrection production may be performed from the state being done. In addition, when a failure effect is performed in the story reach, a resurrection effect is performed after the background image returns from the background image for failure G81 to a normal background image (for example, a background image for daytime normal use G102) or The rebirth effect may be performed after the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 which have been temporarily stopped are re-varied and displayed. In the above embodiment, the special button 41 (an example of the first mode operation unit) is always used in the critical branch in battle reach, but the normal button 40 (an example of the second mode operation unit) is used It may be.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the symbol promotion effect is configured to be executed during the fluctuation display of the special symbol (special symbol fluctuation), but the symbol promotion effect may be executed during the jackpot game.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned form, Zoro eyes of the advantageous symbol meant being elected to the probability variation jackpot, but the jackpot such as 16 round jackpots, etc. has a relatively large number of rounds capable of acquiring the prize ball It may mean that the player has won a jackpot with a relatively large number of winning balls. In this case, a jackpot having a relatively large number of obtainable winning balls may not be a probability variation jackpot.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when symbol display effect is executed after the success effect, it is always configured to be elected as a probability change big hit (an example of “relatively advantageous big hit”). On the other hand, the symbol display effect may be executed after the success effect, which may indicate that the probability of winning the probability change jackpot is higher than the case where the symbol display effect is not performed.

  In the above embodiment, the symbol display effect is not executed as the symbol promotion effect in the variation in which the resurrection effect is executed. However, if allowing the effect to be somewhat complicated, the symbol display effect within one variation is permitted. May be executed a plurality of times.

  In the above embodiment, the striking effect is the effect to be executed when the jackpot is won by the first change to the 30th change in the high probability state and the short time state, but it is performed in other situations such as the normal gaming state It may be configured as

  In the above-described embodiment, battle reach and story reach are performed as specific effects that can be branched to success effects or failure effects, but the contents of the specific effects can be changed as appropriate without causing any hindrance to the game. In addition, the effect contents of various effects other than the specific effect can also be appropriately changed as long as the game is not disturbed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the special button 41 may be performed in the critical branch in the story reach, but the configuration is not performed (in other words, the critical branch in the story reach In such a case, only the operation instruction effect for instructing the operation of the normal button 40 may be executed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, after the symbol display effect is finished (after being hidden), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the eyes (Fig. 35 (E) (F). 37 (A) (B), FIG. 42 (C) (D)), a configuration in which the symbol display effect and the temporary stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 at the Zoro eye are simultaneously performed, or The display periods may partially overlap each other. In other words, Zoro eyes of a definite variation symbol may be stopped and displayed together with the symbol promotion production, or the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 may be stopped and displayed with Zoro eyes together with the resurrection production, and the production pattern EZ1 together with the hit production , EZ2 and EZ3 may be stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, at least one of the case where the resurrection effect is performed with the first resurrection pattern and the case where the resurrection effect is performed with the second resurrection pattern, the on-board movable body 55k and the on-board movable are A movable body drive effect may be configured to operate a predetermined movable body such as the body 56k and the movable body included in the frame movable device 58. When only one of the revival patterns is configured to be accompanied by the movable body drive effect, the revival pattern of the person who executes the movable body drive effect can have a special feeling, and the improvement of the game entertainment can be expected.

A game machine characterized in that the predetermined effect is also executed as the specific winning notification effect (see FIG. 42C).

  According to the gaming machine of this configuration, it is common to the effect of notifying the player of a conversion to an advantage such as a resurrection effect or a symbol promotion effect such as a resurrection effect or a symbol promotion effect, which is used for a notification of winning that is difficult to predict. Since the effect is set, it is easy for the player to understand the meaning of the specific winning notification effect, and the improvement of the game interest can be expected.

Invention C5:
A gaming machine according to Invention C4,
The effect control means promotes the symbol to the advantageous symbol without performing the predetermined effect when performing the promotion from the normal symbol to the advantageous symbol in the variation in which the specific winning notification effect is executed (FIG. 42 (C) (C)) D) (E) (refer to (G)) The game machine characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to the gaming machine of this configuration, since two or more predetermined effects are not executed within one fluctuation, it is possible to prevent the effects from being complicated.

  By the way, conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is an example of a gaming machine, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-184839, it is determined whether it is a big hit based on entering a ball into the starting opening, A special game advantageous to the player is executed based on the result of the determination. In the gaming machine described in this document, a revival effect may be executed to notify that it has been determined to be a big hit after it has been determined to be determined not to be a big hit if it is determined to be a big hit. . However, in recent years, as there are many gaming machines capable of performing revival effects such as the gaming machine described in JP-A-2017-184839, there may be a lack of interest simply by the fact that revival effects may be performed. , There is room for improvement in this respect.

  Invention A described above suggests that the special game is not executed when it is determined that the special game is to be executed by the determination means with respect to the gaming machine described in JP-A-2017-184839. It is suggested that the special game is to be executed after changing the display of the effect pattern again after displaying the failure effect to be performed and the stop display of the effect pattern in the non-specific mode which suggests that the special game is not executed. It is different in that it has a resurrection effect that In addition, the invention B described above does not execute the special game when it is determined that the special game is to be executed by the effect control means by the determination means with respect to the gaming machine described in JP-A-2017-184839. After performing a failure effect that suggests a and a stop display of the effect pattern in a non-specific mode that suggests that a special game is not performed, there may be a resurrection effect that suggests that a special game is performed, When performing a resurrection effect, there is a difference between performing the resurrection effect with the first resurrection pattern and when performing the second resurrection pattern with a different execution timing from the first resurrection pattern. In addition, the invention C described above applies to the gaming machine described in JP-A-2017-184839, “the special game is executed after the failure effect indicating that the special game is not executed is executed. There are performing suggestive revival effect and performing symbol promotion effect suggesting the promotion from normal symbol to advantageous symbol after executing success effect suggesting that special game is to be executed. There is a difference in that a common specific effect is performed between the resurrection effect and the symbol promotion effect. In this way, each invention of Invention A to Invention C can solve the problem of “improve the interest of the game through the effect” (effects can be achieved).
