  Next, the gaming board unit YU will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. The game board unit YU has a game board 1 and an effect unit 1 U attached to the back side of the game board 1. First, the game board 1 will be described. The game board 1 is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate. In the approximate center of the game board 1, an opening 1A having a substantially circular shape in a front view is formed. Along the opening 1A, a substantially ring-shaped inner side wall portion 1B for partitioning the game area 6 where the game ball can flow down is formed to project forward. In addition, a substantially ring-shaped outer wall portion 1C for partitioning the game area 6 is also formed on the outside of the inner side wall portion 1B so as to project forward.

  On the front of the game board 1, a game area 6 surrounded by an inner side wall 1B, an outer side wall 1C and the like is formed. That is, the front surface of the game board 1 is divided into the game area 6 and the other area by the inner side wall portion 1B and the outer side wall portion 1C.

  The game area 6 is an area where game balls fired by the operation of the handle 82k can flow down, and is provided to play a game with the pachinko gaming machine PY1. In the game area 6, a large number of game nails (not shown) are provided in a protruding manner. The game nail enters the game area 6, and the game ball which flows down the game area 6, the 1st starting opening 11, the 2nd starting opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the gate 13, the 1st big winning opening 14, which will be described later And, the route which guides appropriately to 2nd large winning a prize mouth 15 and the like is formed.

  Immediately below the center of the inner side wall portion 1B in the game area 6, there is provided a first start winning device 11D in which a first start opening 11 whose upper side is opened is formed. At the lower left of the first starting opening 11, a second starting opening 12 which is open on the right side is provided. On the right side of the second starting opening 12, a second starting winning device (so-called "electric chew") 12D is provided which enables or disables entering the second starting opening 12.

  The first start winning device 11D is immobile. Therefore, the first start hole 11 is constant (unchangeable) without changing the ease of entering the game ball. The winning of the first starting hole 11 of the gaming ball, the lottery of the first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1") lottery (to be described later of the special figure 1 related random number and determination: hereinafter, "special figure 1 lottery" And the special display 1 variable display. In addition, when the gaming ball wins the first starting opening 11, a predetermined number (for example, four) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball.

  The electric chew 12D includes an operable electric chew opening / closing member 12k. The electric chewing opening and closing member 12k is formed of a substantially horizontally long rectangular tongue-like piece that descends downward and to the left in a plan view. The top left end of the top surface of the electric chewing opening / closing member 12k is located to the right of the lowermost point of the second starting opening 12 in plan view. The electric chew opening / closing member 12k is usually stored behind the gaming board 1 (in the normal state) so that its tip (front side) is located near the game area 6, ie, the front of the game board 1. The electric chew opening / closing member 12k can move (advance / retract) in the front-rear direction from the stored state. Then, in the special state, the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k moves forward. When the electric chute opening and closing member 12 k moves forward, the electric chute opening and closing member 12 k becomes a path for guiding to the second starting port 12. Therefore, in the normal state in which the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k is stored behind the gaming area 6, there is no route to guide this, so it is almost impossible to enter the gaming ball into the second starting opening 12. As described above, the fact that the electric chute opening / closing member 12k is in the protruding state is also referred to as the "open state" of the second starting opening 12 or the electric chute 12D, and only when the gaming ball is open A sphere becomes possible. On the other hand, the state in which the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k is housed inside the second starting opening 12 is also referred to as the "closed state" of the second starting opening 12 or the electric chewing 12D. Thus, the second start port 12 is opened and closed by the operation of the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k. In addition, the fact that the second start port 12 or the electric chow 12D is in the "open state" may also be referred to as "the electric chow 12D is open", and that the electric chow 12D is in the "closed state" is the "electric chew 12D is closed It is also called.

  The winning of the second starting opening 12 of the game ball is the second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2") lottery (acquisition and judgment of the special figure 2 related random number described later): "special figure 2 lottery" And special view 2 variable display. In addition, when the gaming ball wins the second starting opening 12, a predetermined number (for example, four) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball.

  Further, on the left side of the first start winning device 11D in the gaming area 6, two general winning openings 10 are provided. In addition, one general winning opening 10 is provided on the right side of the electric tube 12D. When the game balls reach the general winning opening 10, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as winning balls.

  In addition, on the lower right side of the opening 1A of the game board 1, a gate 13 through which game balls can pass is provided. The passage of the gate 13 of the gaming ball is a trigger for a lottery of normal symbols (hereinafter referred to as "common drawing") (that is, acquisition and determination of normal symbol random numbers) and variable display of the common drawing. The electric game 12D is opened by executing the auxiliary game. That is, the auxiliary game is a game involving the opening of the electric chew 12D.

  Further, immediately below the gate 13 on the right side of the first start winning device 11D in the gaming area 6, a first big winning device 14D (hereinafter, also referred to as "normal AT 14D") in which the first big winning opening 14 is formed is provided. It is done.

  The first big winning device 14D includes a normal AT opening / closing member 14k which takes an open state and a closed state. The first large winning opening 14 is opened and closed by the operation of the normal AT opening and closing member 14k. The normal AT opening / closing member 14k is a flat plate having a substantially rectangular shape in a front view, and normally closes the first large winning opening 14. Normally, the AT opening and closing member 14k can be rotated approximately 90 degrees around the lower end so that the upper end falls forward. When the normal AT opening and closing member 14k rotates, the normal AT opening and closing member 14k is vertically protruded to the game area 6, and receives the game ball flowing down and enters the first large winning opening 14. As described above, the game ball can enter the first large winning opening 14 only when the normal AT opening / closing member 14k is in the open state. When the gaming ball wins the first big winning opening 14, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball.

  Further, immediately below the first big prize device 14D in the game area 6, the upper surface is formed obliquely downward to the left and the induction stage 12g for guiding the game ball to the second starting opening 12 is the game area 6 (of the game board 1 It is provided to project forward from the front). The gaming ball rolling on the upper surface of the induction stage 12g can flow downward toward the second starting opening 12, but basically can not win a prize in the first starting opening 11.

  The second big prize device 15D (hereinafter, also referred to as "VAT 15D") in which the second big winning hole 15 is formed on the upper right side of the gate 13 and the first big winning hole 14 in the game area 6 Is provided. The second big winning device 15D is provided with an operable VAT opening and closing member 15k. The VAT opening / closing member 15k is a rod-like body having a blade-like shape in a front view, and is normally held in a posture of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction, and closes the second big winning opening 15. The VAT opening / closing member 15k rotates about 70 degrees so that the upper end falls to the left around the lower end, and can be opened. Only when the VAT opening / closing member 15k is in the open state, it is possible to enter the second large winning opening 15 of the gaming ball. On the other hand, the state in which the VAT opening and closing member 15k blocks the second big winning opening 15 is also referred to as "closed state". Thus, the second big winning opening 15 is opened and closed by the operation of the VAT opening and closing member 15k. When the gaming ball wins the second big winning opening 15, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball.

  Here, the second big winning device 15D will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Inside the second big winning device 15D is provided a gate-like second big winning opening sensor 15a that can detect the gaming ball entering the second big winning opening 15 and allow the gaming ball to pass downward. It is done.

  A specific area 16 and a nonspecific area 17 through which game balls can pass (enter) are provided in the downstream of the second large winning opening sensor 15a. The game balls having passed through the second big winning opening sensor 15a are distributed to the specific area 16 or the nonspecific area 17 by the distribution device 16D. The distribution device 16D includes a distribution member 16k formed of a substantially rectangular flat plate, and a distribution solenoid 16s that drives the distribution member 16k. The distribution member 16k is configured to be slidable to the left and right by the drive of the distribution solenoid 16s.

  When the distributing solenoid 16s is not energized, the distributing member 16k prevents the passage of the gaming ball to the specific area 16 in the first state (pass blocked state: the left end of the distributing member 16k in front view of FIG. 4A) Is located slightly to the right of the left end of the specific area 16, and the distribution member 16k is in a state of covering the specific area 16 immediately above it. When the sorting member 16k is in the first state, it is impossible for the gaming ball that has won the second large winning opening 15 to pass the specific area 16 after passing the second large winning opening sensor 15a. , Passing through the non-specific area 17. The route of the gaming ball flowing from the second large winning opening 15 to the non-specific area 17 is referred to as a first route.

  On the other hand, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is allowed to pass (enter) the specific area 16 of the gaming ball in the second state (pass allowed state: swinging in front view of FIG. 4B) The left end of the dividing member 16k is located slightly to the left of the right end of the specific area 16, and the distributing member 16k does not cover the specific area 16 directly above it, and is directly open on the specific area 16). 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 the last round game (16R) of the jackpot game described later, the distribution solenoid 16s can be energized to change to the second state.

  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 (entered) the respective 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.

  Also, at the lowermost part of the game area 6, two out ports 19 are provided for discharging the game balls, which have been driven into the game area 6, but did not win any of the winning openings, to the outside of the game area 6. There is.

  By the way, the game area 6 where the game balls can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side from the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right. The operation mode of the handle 82k that causes the game balls to fire so that the game balls flow down the left game area is referred to as "left strike". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 82k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area 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 gate 13, a first large winning opening 14, and a second large winning opening 15 are provided. Therefore, the player shoots the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting the right, so that the passage of the gate 13, the second starting opening 12, the first big winning opening 14, or the second winning opening It is possible to aim for a winning in the 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. 5, 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, special drawing 1 and special drawing 2 are collectively called special drawing, and special drawing 1 lottery and special drawing 2 drawing are generically called special drawing drawing. 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 big hit game is played.

  The special view display 81 includes, for example, eight LEDs 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, a lost design configured by lighting only the LED at the rightmost is displayed, such as the special drawing display 81 "■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Do. 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 gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, various random numbers (numerical information) for performing special drawing lottery etc. are acquired There is a thing. The various random numbers are temporarily stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 (see FIG. 7) as the special view reserve. 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 (see FIG. 7) 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 105b (see FIG. 7) in the special figure reserve storage unit 105. For the number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special view 1 reservation storage unit 105a (the special figure 1 reservation number) and the number of special view 2 reservations that can be stored in the special view 2 reservation storage unit 105b (the special figure 2 reservation number) The upper limit (for example, four) can be set. In the following, the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve are generically called "special figure reserve", and the special figure 1 reserve number and the special figure 2 reserve number are generically called "special figure reserve number". Also, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are generically called "special figure related random number".

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

  Then, the number of to-be- reserved special drawings is displayed on the special-characteristic hold display 83.

3. Next, the main game played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 16.

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, it is referred to as "establishment of the common drawing fluctuation start condition" that the gaming ball passes the gate 13 when the variable display of the common drawing or the auxiliary game is not performed.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires the common drawing relationship random number by the establishment of the common drawing change start condition when performing such a series of games (normal drawing lottery, variable display of common drawing, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 9A, the common drawing related random numbers to be acquired include normal symbol random numbers. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for making a hit determination. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. Clash Determination Clash determination is determination to determine whether or not a match is made (whether or not an auxiliary game is to be performed) using a clash determination table as shown in FIG. 10A. The hit determination table can be 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 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table, and makes a hit determination whether it is a hit or a loss. 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. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the win.

3-1-2. The common drawing fluctuation common pattern fluctuation pattern determination is a judgment for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern using the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table as shown in FIG. 10 (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 can be 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 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 a hit symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a display result (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 an auxiliary game using an auxiliary game control table as shown in FIG. 10 (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. Further, the number of times of opening and the opening time of each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the open time of the electric chow 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-time-shortened state and the auxiliary game in the time-shortened 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 addition, below, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in a non-time saving state is also called "a short opening auxiliary | assistant 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, 3.00 seconds) in which it is easy to win the gaming ball in the electric Chu 12D) longer than the first opening time. Open. In addition, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in time-saving state is also called "a long open | release auxiliary | assistant game" below.

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. 9B, there are special symbol random numbers, jackpot symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special pattern variation pattern random numbers as the special symbol relationship random numbers to be acquired. The special symbol random number is a random number (judgment information) for judging the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number (judgment information) for making a jackpot symbol type determination. The reach random number is a random number (determination information) for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number (determination information) for performing the variation pattern determination of the special symbol. 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) using a jackpot determination table as shown in FIG. 11A. 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 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 11A, the special symbol random number value determined to be a big hit is set more for the high probability big hit determination table than for the normal probability big hit determination table. 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 determines the type (big hit symbol type) of the big hit symbol using the big hit symbol type judgment table as shown in FIG. 11 (B) It is a judgment for For each jackpot symbol type, it is possible to associate jackpot components composed of the contents of the jackpot, in other words, the game benefits provided to the player, and the like.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is a type of special symbol that is variably displayed (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the winnings caused by the jackpot symbol type determination (which caused the jackpot symbol type determination) It is associated with the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12). 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 checks the acquired jackpot symbol type random number on the jackpot symbol type determination table to determine the type of jackpot symbol. 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. Moreover, it is possible to change suitably about the distribution ratio of big hit symbol classification. In addition, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by 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 determines whether or not reach is to be generated in a special figure fluctuation effect described later using a reach determination table as shown in FIG. 11C when the result of the big hit determination is a loss It is a judgment for

  The reach determination table can be 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.

  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 collates the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table, and determines whether there is reach or no reach (whether or not to cause reach). As shown in FIG. 11C, it is possible to make the number of reach random numbers determined to be “reached (to generate reach)” different between the non-time-shortening reach determination table and the time-shortening reach determination table. It is. In addition, in the following, the result of reach determination performed on the premise that the result of the big hit determination is "loss" "reach with (to generate reach)" is referred to as "reach with a loss", "no reach ( There is also a case that "no reach is lost".

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment is the fluctuation pattern judgment table (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) of the special symbol as shown in Figure 12-Figure 13 when the result of jackpot judgment is either big hit and loss It is the judgment for determining the fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern) of the variable display of a special figure using. 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. In addition, it is possible to include identification information on the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination, in addition to the special map change time and the special process change flow and the effect flow (effect contents of the special view change effect). As the special figure fluctuation pattern, it is possible to use a plurality of kinds of special figure fluctuation patterns each having different identification information, and the number thereof 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 where the winning due to the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed It is possible to associate with the type (first start port 11 / second start port 12). That is, in the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) 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. 13) used when performing.

  And each special figure fluctuation pattern decision table, it is possible to associate also game state (non time saving state / time saving state). That is, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table includes the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table (non-time minor special pattern 1 variation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and the special figure 1 used in the time-short state There is a variation pattern determination table (time chart for special figure 1 variation pattern determination table). 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).

  Further, each special figure fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state) can be 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.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss can be 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

  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. And, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (the result of the special symbol lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not performed immediately, and the big hit game is subsequently executed. Ru.

  Moreover, it is possible to link | relate to the production | presentation flow of special figure fluctuation production as shown in the 2nd column from the right of the table | surface of FIG.

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the table | surface of FIG. 12-FIG. 13 about a special figure fluctuation pattern, relating it to the special figure (big hit judgment result) and the special contents of special figure fluctuation production etc. is there. For example, the special figure fluctuation pattern relating to the jackpot is referred to as the "big hit fluctuation". On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a kind of reach, is performed among the lose with reach is called “SP loss fluctuation”, and in the loss with reach, the L reach which is a kind of reach is performed The figure variation pattern is "L lost variation", among the presence of reach, the figure of the special figure variation pattern where the special figure variation effect is finished with N reach which is a kind of reach is "N loss variation", without reach The special pattern fluctuation pattern is called "normal loss fluctuation".

3-2-5. Pre-reading Determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using a pre-reading determination table as shown in FIG. 14 based on the acquired special-image-related random numbers. 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-read determination table can be associated with the type (first start port 11 / second start port 12) of the starting opening related 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.

  Further, the pre-read determination table can be 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. Note that 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 and the second big winning opening 15) and the start of the first round game after the big hit is started 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 about 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 opening of the big winning opening (first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15) in each round game, Type and opening time (opening pattern) of big winning opening where each opening takes place, time to close until next opening (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. are included. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using the jackpot game control table as shown in FIG. 15 after the stop display of the special view. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more jackpot games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens up to 29.5 seconds from 1R to 15R, or the first large winning opening 14 up to 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. 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, the number and time of each element 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.

  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". Thus, although the distributing member 16k is controlled in a fixed operating mode (the specific area 16 is a fixed opening and closing mode), a fixed operating mode of the distributing member 16k (a fixed opening and closing mode of the specific area 16); In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (easiness) of entering the gaming ball into the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. In the following, the fact that the specific area 16 is in the open state is also referred to as "V open".

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big winning opening, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 4A). 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). Thus, for the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member with the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that facilitates the passage (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") of the specific area 16 of the gaming ball during the jackpot game. The VAT opening and closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate with the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distributing member 16k operate, and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is impossible or difficult. It is possible to perform a jackpot game. Thus, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as "V long jackpot". On the other hand, a jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is referred to as "V short jackpot".

3-4. Gaming state

  Next, the gaming state will be described. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, as shown in FIG. 16, "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". 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, the latter includes 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 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. The high probability state can be switched 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 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. Also, in the time saving state, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed using the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table that is selected such that the selection of the special figure fluctuation pattern with a short special figure fluctuation time is greater than in the non-short time state. It is also possible to do it (see FIGS. 12 to 13). 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 can easily make the common drawing fluctuation time shorter than the non-time saving state. For example, in the short time state, a spread time (5 seconds) shorter than the spread time (30 seconds) determined in the non-short state is determined. Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of times the common drawing lottery is executed per unit time is more.

  In addition, the time saving state can be more easily 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 short state. 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 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. The time saving state can be changed from the time saving state to the non-time saving state by performing the jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning the jackpot, or winning 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 opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is easily lengthened, The game is set to the player in three points in favor of the game, but the points set to the player may be a part of these.

  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", since the hit determination is performed but the big hit determination is not performed, the non-short time state is set along with the start of the big hit game. Further, with regard to the gaming state, it is possible to use all or only a part of the gaming states described above.

4. Next, the 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 rendering mode, a normal rendering mode, a probability variation rendering mode, a time reduction rendering mode, and a jackpot rendering mode as a rendering 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. 17A, a customer waiting demonstration moving image G100 for introducing a pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the hemispherical button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 17B, the setting screen G101 for setting for the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed. 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. 18A, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a; As shown in FIG. 18 (C), a second normal rendering mode in which a background image representing a view of a mountain in the evening (a background image G103 for the ordinary day in the evening) is displayed on the display 50a as shown in FIG. 18 (B). There is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (Night normal background image G104) representing a night view of the mountain is displayed on the display unit 50a, and one or more special events are performed without winning a jackpot. It is switched as one condition that figure fluctuation production is 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. 18D, a background image (a probability 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. In the first stage effect mode, the display unit 50a displays the background image G105 for a variation, but in the second stage effect mode, a background image dedicated to the type of reach is displayed.

  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-saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 18E, a background image (time-saving 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. 19A, in the display unit 50a, an opening image G107 indicating the start of the jackpot game and a right-handed image prompting “right-handed” A jackpot opening effect in which G108 is displayed is performed. During the rounds in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 19B, 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. Round production is performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the display unit 50a, the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number indicating the total prize balls paid out A jackpot ending effect in which a winning ball number image G112 is displayed is performed.

4-2. Next, the special figure fluctuation presentation 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, image display 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, movable device 55, 56, 57, 58, hemispherical button 40, sword type button It is possible to perform rendering using various rendering devices such as 41.

4-2-1. In the display portion 50a of the image display device 50, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), the left effect, the center, and the right side are obtained by dividing the display portion 50a into three substantially in the horizontal direction. 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. 20 (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. 20A, 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 a 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.

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. 20 (A), in the display unit 50a, the left presentation symbol EZ1, the middle presentation symbol EZ2, and the right presentation 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, the variable display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started along with the start, and the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 is started. Then, if the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of this special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the loss without reach (for example, the normal loss fluctuation), the reach of the special view does not occur and the end of the variable display of the special view (special view In conjunction with the stop display of (1), the stop display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed with a missing eye (so-called "sloppy eye") specific to a no reach loss. For example, first, as shown in FIG. 20 (C), the left effect design EZ1 temporarily stops at a substantially central position in the vertical direction toward the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and then FIG. 20 (D) As shown in FIG. 20, the right effect pattern EZ3 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction, and further, as shown in FIG. 20E, the intermediate effect pattern EZ2 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction. Then, finally, the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 temporarily stopped in a state of being aligned horizontally in a substantially central position in the vertical direction completely stop all at once, as shown in FIG. 20 (F), A stop is determined (stop display of effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, is performed). The three small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are displayed when the temporary stopped design symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are completely stopped at the loose end, that is, when the stop display of the design symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is performed, It stops at the same time as the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 at the same time, and stop display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is also performed.

  In the example of FIG. 20, when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped in the order of left effect symbol EZ1 → right effect symbol EZ3 → middle effect symbol EZ2 but temporary The mode of stopping is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate.

  On the other hand, if the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the loss with reach (for example, the N loss fluctuation), as in the case of the above-mentioned reach no, FIG. As shown in A), from the state where left production design EZ1, middle production design EZ2 and right production design EZ3 are stopped and displayed, and left small design KZ1, middle small design KZ2 and right small design KZ3 are displayed stopped. The variable display of the special figure is started, and as shown in FIG. 21B, the variable display of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 starts, and the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3. Variable display starts. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (C), the left effect design EZ1 consisting of the number “5” is temporarily stopped at the approximate center position in the vertical direction, and then, as shown in FIG. 21 (D) The right effect design EZ3 consisting of "5" is temporarily stopped in line in the horizontal direction at a substantially central position in the vertical direction, and reaches reach (reach is generated or established). Even if reach is established with the production symbols, the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 is continuously performed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 21, when reach is established, the rendering symbol is temporarily stopped in the order of left rendering symbol EZ1 → right rendering symbol EZ3, but the mode of temporary stopping is not limited to this, and may be appropriately set. Can. In addition, the numbers of the rendering symbols constituting the reach are not limited to "5". Further, the position at which the temporary stop is performed is not limited to the substantially central position in the vertical direction. In addition, the direction in which the rendering symbols constituting the reach are arranged is not limited to the horizontal direction, and may be another direction such as an oblique direction.

4-2-3. N reach Pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N reach when reach is established after normal fluctuation. The N reach is a presentation that suggests that the lottery result of the special drawing lottery may have been a "big hit", and functions as a presentation for making the player expect a big hit.

  When reach is established, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (D), N reach is performed from that point on. In N reach, as shown in FIG. 22A, the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). When the N reach is started, as shown in FIG. 22 (B), the middle effect pattern EZ2 gradually decelerates in the normal mode of high-speed variable display (scroll).

  If the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the loss presence (for example, N loss fluctuation), the middle effect design EZ2 is temporarily stopped at the approximate center position in the vertical direction from the state where the reach is established. The stop display of the effect pattern indicating a loss is performed. At this time, since reach is established, as shown in FIG. 22 (C-1), a middle effect pattern consisting of numbers different from numbers configuring reach (“4” in FIG. 22 (C-1)) EZ2 temporarily stops. Then, along with the end of the variable display of the special figure (the stop display of the special figure), as shown in FIG. 22 (D-1), the temporary stop state becomes a complete stop state, and a loss specific to reach presence loss Stop display of the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3 is performed with eyes. Also, when the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 that have been temporarily stopped are completely stopped with a missing eye unique to reach presence, that is, when the stop display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is performed, three small The symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped with a missing eye which is the same as the reach symbols same as the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 and stop display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 is also performed.

  On the other hand, if the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the big hit (for example, the N big hit fluctuation), for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 22 (D-2), with the termination of the variable display of the special view (stop display of the special figure), the middle effect pattern EZ2 consisting of the same numbers temporarily stops at the approximate center position in the vertical direction. The temporary stop state becomes a complete stop state, and the stop display of the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3 is performed at a winch specific to the jackpot such as Zoro eyes. In addition, when the production design EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 which had been temporarily stopped are completely stopped at the winch specific to the big hit, that is, when the stop display of the production design EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is performed, three small designs KZ1 , KZ2 and KZ3 simultaneously stop with a unique hit to the same jackpot as the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3, and stop display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 is also performed. The contents of N reach can be changed or added as appropriate.

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

  After N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 24A, a background image (SP reach background image G113) dedicated to SP reach is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the enemy character A appears, as shown in FIG. As shown in), a scene in which the main character and the enemy character A are facing each other is displayed. And as shown to FIG. 24C, the image (SP reach start title image) G1 showing that SP reach was started is displayed on the center of the display part 50a. The SP reach start title image G1 is composed of a title image G11 representing the title of the SP reach (“Enemy A is defeated!” In FIG. 24C) and an effect image G12 that brings out the title image G11.

  Then, the battle in the SP reach progresses further, and as shown in FIG. 25A, the profile of the leading character transformed into the special state is displayed in the background image G113 for SP reach, and FIG. 25B is displayed. As shown in FIG. 25 (C), when the profile of the enemy character A is displayed, the two swords try to be different and the battle between the main character and the enemy character A is concluded. I will meet the scene to be taken. This scene constitutes a turning point (a winning / losing turning point) whether the main character wins or loses in the battle. Then, after the win / loss turning point, if the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the big hit (for example, the SP big hit fluctuation), as shown in FIG. The main character in a special state in which a battle is won and standing in a standing position is displayed, and a predetermined sound effect is output from the speaker 52. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing a big hit. As described above, the display of the main character transformed into the special state in which the battle is won and standing in the middle and the output of the predetermined sound effect constitute an effect (informing notification effect) in which the big hit is notified. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 27 (B), stop display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is performed.

  On the other hand, if the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the reach presence loss (for example, SP lost change fluctuation) after the win-loss junction, the jackpot notification effect is not performed and the background for the SP reach In the image G113, a loss notification effect is performed in which an image in which the main character loses the battle flows. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 22 (C-1), temporary stop display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is performed with the missing eye, and as shown in FIG. 22 (D-1), the effect is produced with the missing eye as it is The stop display of the symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is performed. The content of the SP reach is not limited to the content in which the characters battle with each other, and can be appropriately changed or added.

4-2-5. Movable-body production The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform movable-body production at any timing during the special figure fluctuation production. The movable body effect is an effect using movable devices such as the front movable device 55 and the back movable device 56, and functions as a production that indicates the jackpot expectation and the development to the SP reach.

  When developing from N reach to SP reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 23A, first, the front movable device 55 is activated to move the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk and The front lower movable body 55Dk unites and covers the main character in the normal state displayed on the display unit 50a.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23B, the rear movable unit 56 is actuated, and the upper rear movable body 56Uk and the lower rear movable body 56Dk are united to be displayed on the display unit 50a in a normal state. Of the main character and the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk, and the lower front movable body 55Dk which are united and integrated, and covers the main state main character.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23C, the upper front upper left movable body 55ULk, the upper front upper right movable body 55URk, and the lower front lower movable body 55Dk temporarily return to the normal standby state (initial position). At this time, in the entire area of the display unit 50a, a black image is displayed (blacked out) as if it were turned off.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23D, the front movable device 55 operates again, and the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk, and the front lower lower movable body 55Dk are united, It covers the upper rear movable body 56Uk and the lower rear movable body 56Dk integrated and integrated.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 23E to 23F, the front movable device 55 returns to the normal standby state (initial position), and the back mobile device 56 also returns to the normal standby state.

  When the board movable unit 56 returns to the normal standby state, a scene in which the main character transformed into the special state is largely displayed on the display unit 50a is displayed, and the state is developed into SP reach. The operation content of the movable device in the movable body effect can be appropriately changed or added.

4-2-6. Operation production Pachinko game machine PY1 performs operation production including operation promotion production using operation means such as sword type button 41 and operation result production according to operation of operation means at arbitrary timing during special figure fluctuation production It is possible. The operation promotion effect is an effect for urging the player to operate the operation means, and the operation result effect is an effect to be performed according to the operation of the operation means in the operation promotion effect, and for each player to expect a big hit It functions as an effect.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25 (C), when the win / loss turning point is reached in the SP reach, a period in which the pressing operation of the sword type button 41 is valid (sword type button operation valid period) occurs. With the occurrence of the effective period, as shown in FIG. 26A, an effect (sword type button operation promoting effect) for urging the operation of the sword type button 41 is performed. In the sword type button operation promotion effect, a sword type button operation promotion image G3 is displayed on the display unit 50a. The sword-shaped button operation promotion image G3 is an image (sword-shaped button image) G31 representing the sword-shaped button 41, and an image (pressed-operation image) G32 representing the operation mode (that is, pressing operation) of the sword-shaped button 41 An image (operation effective period remaining time image) G33 indicating the remaining time of the operation effective period (sword type button operation effective period) related to the operation of the mold button 41; The sword type button operation effective period remaining time image G33 is composed of a roughly curved progress bar, and changes with time so that the player can easily understand the remaining time of the effect button operation effective period. . FIG. 26B shows that a sword-shaped button operation effective period has occurred and one-third of the sword-shaped button operation effective time has elapsed.

  Then, after the sword-shaped button 41 is pressed and operated in the sword-shaped button operation effective period, if the special-pattern fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special drawing is the jackpot-changing pattern (for example, SP jackpot fluctuation) of the jackpot or After the remaining time of the operation effective period is exhausted without operating the sword type button 41 in the sword type button operation effective period, the operation result effect is performed before the jackpot notification effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 26C, the front movable unit 55 operates, and the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk, and the front lower movable body 55Dk are united, and the rear back movable device 56 operates and the upper rear movable body 56Uk and the lower rear movable body 56Dk unite and integrate.

  On the other hand, if the special view change pattern of the variable view of the special view is the special view change pattern of the loss with reach (for example, SP lost change), even if the sword button 41 is pressed during the sword button operation valid period, Alternatively, even when the sword button 41 is not pressed and the remaining time of the effect button operation effective period is exhausted, the operation result effect is not performed, and the loss notification effect is performed. The operation result presentation is not limited to the operation of the front movable device 55 and the rear movable device 56, and can be appropriately changed or added.

4-2-7. Pre-reading effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 may perform pre-reading effect for special figure 1 holding or special figure 2 holding on which the special drawing lottery is not performed based on the result of the pre-reading determination at an arbitrary timing of the special figure fluctuation effect. It is possible. The pre-reading effect is an effect that suggests the jackpot expectation degree for the special view 1 suspension or the special view 2 suspension, and functions as an effect that causes a jackpot to be expected from before the variable display of the special view.

  When the game ball wins in the first starting opening 11 and special drawing 1 retention occurs, for example, as shown in FIG. 21A, the holding image G114 indicating the special drawing 1 holding number suggests the jackpot expectation degree Display mode is displayed as "☆". There are a plurality of types of display modes that indicate the jackpot expectation degree that display colors are different from one another. Here, blue, red and gold are provided as modes that indicate the jackpot expectation, and the jackpot expectation is set to be higher in the order of blue <red <gold. The pre-reading effect can be performed for one or both of the special view 1 suspension and the special view 2 suspension. The prefetching effect is not limited to the display mode of the reserve image G114, and can be appropriately changed or added.

5. Control of the Game by the Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described based on FIGS. 28 to 29. FIG. 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. 28 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 various random numbers shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B 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. 29, 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 after the output process (S101), the gaming control microcomputer 101 also takes in the detection signal from the lower plate full switch for detecting the lower plate 35 being full, and sets the game RAM 104 as lower plate full data. Store in the output buffer of

  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 process of FIG. That is, the updating process of the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and the other period (main timer interrupt process (S500). 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).

  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. 28) until the next interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 (see FIG. 28), 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. 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), and the acquired special figure 2 related random numbers are stored sequentially from the first area Ru. When the special figure 2 related random number is stored up to the n-th area, the newly obtained special figure 2 related random number is not stored. Further, the second prefetch determination is performed using the acquired special view 2 related random number and the second prefetch determination table (see FIG. 14). Further, in accordance with the result of the process, a second starting opening sensor command including a second starting winning command representing the result of the second pre-reading determination is generated.

  In the first starting opening sensor process, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the first starting opening sensor 11a. When it is determined that the game ball is detected, the special figure 1 related random number including the special symbol random number counter, the big hit symbol type random number counter, the reach random number counter and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number counter is acquired and acquired Are stored in the special view 1 suspension storage unit 105 a provided in the game RAM 104. Special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a has a plurality of storage areas from the first area to the n-th area (n is an integer of 2 or more), and the acquired special figure 1 related random numbers are stored sequentially from the first area Ru. When the special figure 1 related random number is stored up to the n-th area, the newly obtained special figure 1 related random number is not stored. Also, the first prefetch determination is performed using the acquired special map 1 related random number and the first prefetch determination table (see FIG. 14). Further, in accordance with the result of the process, a first starting opening sensor command including a first starting winning command representing the result of the first pre-reading determination is generated.

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

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

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

[2-2. Normal operation processing]
In the normal operation process (S105), the normal symbol standby process, the normal symbol variation process, the normal symbol determination process, and the auxiliary game control process are sequentially performed.

The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot gaming state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is performed using the jackpot game control table (see FIG. 15). After the transition to the jackpot gaming state, each round game is started depending on the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. In addition, ending is started according to ending the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information on the result of the jackpot 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 FIGS. 30 to 32. 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 for sub control main processing shown in FIG. 30 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, interrupt is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determination regarding various effects are updated. As an example, the method of updating the determination random number counter for various effects can be 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 seed update process is completed, the 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). Further, the sub control board 120 causes the speaker 52 to output sound (performs various effects by sound) through the sound control circuit 161, along with various effects performed by the image control board 140, and a lamp control circuit 151 makes the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 emit light (performs various effects by light emission), operates the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58 (performs various effects by operation) ).

  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 an STB signal (strobe signal), that is, various commands sent from the main control board 100, is input to the external INT input unit of 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 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4011), input processing (S4101), light emission data output processing (S4102), movable device control processing (S4103), and watchdog timer processing (S4104) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit operable by the player such as the hemispherical button detection switch 40a or the sword button detection switch 41a is detected. In the light emission data output process, light emission data so that lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made to emit light at a timing or the like that matches the effect by the image based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process described later. 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 effect data created in the effect data creation process, drive data for performing movable object effect to operate the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58 at a predetermined timing. Output That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs movable body effect to operate the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 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), received command analysis process (S4201), effect timer update process (S4202), voice control process (S4203), effect data creation process (S4204), image effect start process (S4205), effect The mode setting process (S4206) is sequentially performed.

  In the reception command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 is analyzed by the reception interrupt process (S4010). In the effect timer update process, the timer for measuring the time concerning each effect is updated. 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 reception 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. In the image effect start process, the image data is transmitted to the image control board 140 in order to display the effect image on the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50 based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process. That is, the image control board 140 controls the display of the effect image based on the image data. In the effect mode setting process, the effect mode is set based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

First Embodiment
Hereinafter, based on the above-described pachinko gaming machine PY1, the features of the present invention will be described in detail as the first embodiment. First, a jackpot game that can be executed by the gaming control microcomputer 101 will be described using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG.

  In the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 1 determination process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 can determine either “big jack symbol 1” or “big jack symbol 2”. On the other hand, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 2 determination processing, it is possible to determine either "big jack symbol 3" or "big jack symbol 4".

  As shown in FIG. 33, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 1 judgment processing, the microcomputer 101 for gaming control is a jackpot symbol with a ratio of 60% for "big hit symbol 1" and 40% for "big hit symbol 2". Determine the type of On the other hand, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 2 determination processing, the type of jackpot symbol is determined at a ratio of 60% for "jackpot symbol 3" and 40% for "jackpot symbol 4". The game control microcomputer 101 executes a jackpot game according to the determined jackpot symbol type.

  Here, the jackpot game will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 33, in "big hit game 1" executed when "big hit symbol 1" is determined, and "big hit game 2" executed when "big hit symbol 2" is determined, A round game is played 16 times. Then, the first large winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game from 1R to 8R, and the first one for a maximum of 0.1 seconds per one round game from 9R to 16R. 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 a maximum of 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 the "big hit game 4" in which the number of substantial round games is 16 times is the "big hit game 1" or the "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 gaming state in which the "jackpot game 3" or the "jackpot game 4" is executed is the jackpot game state in which the "jackpot game 1" or the "jackpot game 2" is executed. It can be said that the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than.

  Next, the gaming state which can be controlled by the gaming control microcomputer 101 will be described.

  The game control microcomputer 101 is time-saving even after the jackpot gaming state in which any jackpot game of "jackpot game 1", "jackpot game 2", "jackpot game 3" and "jackpot game 4" is executed Set the state. Also, after the jackpot gaming state in which either the jackpot game 1 or the jackpot game 3 is executed, a high probability state is set while the jackpot game 2 and the jackpot game 4 After the jackpot gaming state in which any jackpot game is executed, the high probability state is not set (the normal probability state is set). Therefore, after the jackpot gaming state in which either the jackpot game 1 or the jackpot game 3 is executed, control is performed in the "high probability high base gaming state" in which the high probability state and the time saving state are set. Then, after the jackpot game state in which either the jackpot game 2 or the jackpot game 4 is executed, control is performed in the "low probability low base game state" in which the normal probability state and the time saving state are set Do.

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

  Therefore, the "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 3" for which the high probability state is set thereafter is advantageous to the player over 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, the jackpot gaming state in which "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 3" is executed is more for the player than the jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 2" or "jackpot game 4" is executed. It can be said that it is an advantageous gaming state.

  Next, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern which can be determined by the gaming control microcomputer 101 will be described using the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG.

  In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process when the non-time saving state is set, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the result of the big hit determination performed in the special figure 1 determination process, the result of the big hit symbol type determination, and the result of the reach determination. And based on a special figure fluctuation pattern random number, a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined using a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 34, it is possible to determine 12 special pattern 1 fluctuation patterns of “THP 001” to “THP 009”, “THP 021” and “THP 031” to “THP 032” as the special drawing 1 fluctuation patterns. . It is distributed by the special figure fluctuation pattern random number as to which special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit" and the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 1" or "big hit symbol 2", "THP001" to "THP003" and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern It is possible to determine four types of "THP 021". Of the four special pattern 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP 001” is easier to be determined than the other special image 1 fluctuation patterns.

  If the result of the jackpot determination is "lost" and the result of the reach determination is "reach", 5 of "THP 004" to "THP 006" and "THP 031" to "THP 032" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. It is possible to determine the type. Of the five special pattern 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP 006” is the easiest to determine.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is "loss" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", it is possible to determine three types of "THP 007" to "THP 009" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. is there. Which one of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns to be determined is assigned by the number of special figure 1 reservations. If the number of reserved special figures 1 is 0 to 2, "THP 007" with 13000 ms, which has a relatively long time to change the special figures, is easily determined, and if the number of reserved special figures 1 is 3 to 4, the special figure The 4000 ms "THP 009", which has a relatively short fluctuation time, is easily determined.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35 to FIG. 36, the special figure fluctuation effect that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described according to the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determined by the gaming control microcomputer 101. First, the main effects that can be performed in the special image variation effect will be described.

A. It is an effect that may be performed according to the start of the variable display of the normal variation special drawing. Since it is performed first in special figure fluctuation production, it functions as a production which suggests that special figure fluctuation production is started.

B. Reach After the "normal change", it is an effect that the left production design EZ1 and the right production design EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same design. Even when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit" or "loss", it may be performed, so it functions as an effect that a jackpot game may be played. Moreover, since reach effects such as "SP reach" and "L reach" may be performed after that, they also function as effects that indicate that reach effects may be performed.

C. N Reach This effect is sometimes performed after the "reach" is established. Even when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit" or "loss", it may be performed, so it functions as an effect that suggests that a big hit game may be played.

D. Developmental direction It is a direction that may be performed after "N reach". After that, since reach effects such as “SP reach” and “L reach” may be performed, it functions as an effect that suggests that the reach effect is performed.

E. Special Reach This is an effect that may be performed without an "advanced production" after the "N reach". Even when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit" or "loss", it may be performed, so it functions as an effect that suggests that a big hit game may be played. In addition, since it is easier to perform a "big hit" when the result of the big hit determination is "losing", it also functions as an effect that suggests that the big hit game is likely to be played.

F. Blink production This is a production that may be performed after "special reach". Since it is easier to perform a "big hit" when the result of the big hit determination is "losing", it works as an effect that indicates that the possibility of a big hit game is high. Also, even if the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 1" or even if it is "big hit symbol 2" may be performed, either "big hit game 1" and "big hit game 2" It also acts as an indication that suggests that there may be a

G. Pre-stage speech effect This is an effect that may be performed after the "normal change" is started. Since it may be performed when "reach" is materialized after that, it functions as an effect which suggests that "reach" may be materialized. Also, even if the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 1" or even if it is "big hit symbol 2" may be performed, either "big hit game 1" and "big hit game 2" It also acts as an indication that suggests that there may be a

H. Post-stage speech effect This is an effect that may be performed after the "Burning effect" is started. Even if the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 1" or even if it is "big hit symbol 2" may be performed, either "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 2" is a line It acts as an indication that suggests that there is a possibility of being hit.

  Next, the flow of producing a special image variation effect will be described in detail. Here, although it demonstrates focusing on the production image displayed on the display part 50a, according to the display of a production image, the luminescence production using the frame lamp 53 or the board lamp 54, the sound production using the speaker 52, Is executed.

  First, the special figure fluctuation presentation for the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern "THP021" will be described. The special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is associated with “special / flirting jackpot fluctuation” (the rightmost column in the table of FIG. 34). In the special figure fluctuation production of "special / flirting big hit fluctuation", the production flow mainly composed of "normal fluctuation → reach → N reach → development effect → special reach → turn effect" is executed (see the table in FIG. 34) Second column from the right).

  In the special figure fluctuation effect of “special / flood jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 35 (A), on the background image (for example, background image G102 for daytime normal use) displayed on the display unit 50a, the effect design EZ1, Along with the fluctuation display of EZ2 and EZ3, "normal fluctuation" is performed in which fluctuation display of left small symbol KZ1, middle small symbol KZ2 and right small symbol KZ3 is performed. At this time, although the details will be described later, "previous stage speech effect" may be performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 35B, the left effect pattern EZ1 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction, and then the right effect pattern EZ3 consisting of the same numbers as the left effect symbol EZ1 is substantially at the approximately central position in the vertical direction A temporary stop is established side by side in the horizontal direction, and "reach" is established. Then, as shown in FIG. 35C, “N reach” in which the middle effect pattern EZ2 gradually decelerates is performed.

  After “N reach”, “special effect” (see FIG. 23) is not performed, which suggests that the effect will be developed (either “SP reach” or “L reach” will be performed). Reach is done. In "special reach", as shown in FIG. 35D, a background image (special reach background image G115) dedicated to special reach is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character challenges the mission is displayed. . Then, the display unit 50a displays an image G4 (an image of "Achieve a mission!") Indicating that "special reach" has been started.

  The “special reach” progresses further, and as shown in FIG. 36A, a scene in which the main character has achieved a mission is displayed on the display unit 50a, and then “flicker effect” is performed. In “Burning Effect”, as shown in FIG. 36 (B), an ally character appears on the display unit 50a, and a scene to shout something is displayed. At this time, although details will be described later, “post-stage speech effect” is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a big hit.

  Next, special figure fluctuation presentation for the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 031” will be described. This special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is associated with “special / dwarf fluctuation” (rightmost column in the table of FIG. 34). In the special figure fluctuation production of “special / flood lost fluctuation”, a production flow mainly composed of “normal fluctuation → reach → N reach → development presentation → special reach → flirting presentation” is executed (see the table in FIG. 34 Second column from the right).

  The special figure fluctuation effect of “special / dangerous loss fluctuation” is the same effect flow as “special / diverged jackpot fluctuation” up to “divergent effect” (FIG. 35 (A) to FIG. 35 (D), FIG. 36 (A )-Figure 36 (B)). As shown in FIG. 36 (D), after "flicker effect", the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a loss. Note that the "follow-up speech effect" described above may be performed in the "turn effect".

  Next, special figure fluctuation presentation for the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 032” will be described. This special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is associated with “special loss fluctuation” (the rightmost column in the table of FIG. 34). In the special figure change production of "special loss change", the production flow mainly composed of "normal change → reach → N reach → development effect → special reach" is executed (the second from the right in the table in FIG. 34) Field).

  The special figure fluctuation effect of the "special loss fluctuation" is the same effect flow as the "special / changed jackpot fluctuation" up to the "special reach" (FIG. 35 (A) to FIG. 35 (D)). After “special reach”, as shown in FIG. 36E, the display unit 50a displays a scene in which the teammate character has failed in the mission. Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (F), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a loss.

  Next, "previous stage speech effect" will be described in detail. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute "previous stage speech effect" after "normal fluctuation" is started in the special view fluctuation effect based on the previous stage serif effect selection table shown in FIG. 37A. .

  There are five types of words, "serif A," "serif B," "serif C," "serif D," and "serif E," in the "previous stage serif effect". In the “pre-stage speech effect effect” of the speech A, a speech image of “...” Is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and the speech of the speech is not output from the speaker 52. In the "previous stage serif effect" of the serif B, "REACH? The words image is displayed, from the speaker 52 "reach? The dialogue voice is output. In the "pre-stage dialogue effect production" of dialogue C, "It is REACH!" The words image is displayed, from the speaker 52 'reach! The dialogue voice is output. In the "preceding stage speech effect" of the speech D, a speech image of "BIG BONUS may" is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a speech sound of "big bonus may" is output from the speaker 52. In the "preceding stage speech effect" of the speech E, a speech image of "SMALLBONUS may" is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a speech sound of "small bonus may" is output from the speaker 52.

  Further, although the details will be described later, the serif images of the serif B, the serif C, the serif D and the serif E include a still image (first display mode) and a moving image (second display mode). There is only a still image (first display mode) in the serif image of.

  The effect control microcomputer 121, as shown in FIG. 37A, responds to the type of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern, or according to the type of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern and the type of the big hit symbol. When performing “non-execution” or “previous stage speech effect”, which speech image is to be displayed is selected at a different ratio. Here, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is “normal A loss fluctuation”, “special loss fluctuation”, “SP loss fluctuation”, “special / rotation loss fluctuation”, “SP jackpot fluctuation” and “special / rotation jackpot fluctuation” In any case, "previous stage speech effect" is executable.

  In the case of "Normal A change", select 60% non-execution, 30% serif A, and 10% serif B (still image: 10% / moving image: 0%), serif C, serif Do not select D and serif E. In this special view fluctuation effect, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner showing a loss without "reach" being established.

  In the case of “special loss variation”, non-execution is 30%, serif A is 10%, serif B is 20% (still image: 20% / moving image: 0%), serif C is 30% (still image: 20) % / Moving image: 10%), serif D 5% (still image: 5% / moving image: 0%), serif E 5% (still image: 5% / moving image: 0%) Do. In these special view fluctuation effects, "reach" is established, but after "special reach", the display symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a loss.

  In the case of "SP lost fluctuation" or "special / Bad lost fluctuation", non-execution 20%, serif A 10%, serif B 10% (still image: 5% / moving image: 5%), serif C 40% (still image: 10% / moving image: 30%), serif D: 10% (still image: 5% / moving image: 5%), serif E: 10% (still image: 5% / moving image : 5%) to select. In these special figure fluctuation rendition, "reach" is established, but after "SP reach" or "special reach" and "flicker effect", the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 It is stopped and displayed in a mode showing a loss.

  In the case of "SP jackpot variation" and "big hit pattern 1", non-execution 35%, serif A 5%, serif B 10% (still image: 5% / moving image: 5%), serif C 40% (still image: 10% / moving image: 30%) and serif D at a ratio of 10% (still image: 3% / moving image: 7%) and do not select serif D. In this special view fluctuation effect, "reach" is established, and after "SP reach", stop display is performed in a mode in which the directing symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 indicate a big hit, "big hit game 1 Is executed.

  In the case of "SP jackpot variation" and "big hit pattern 2", non-execution 35%, serif A 5%, serif B 10% (still image: 5% / moving image: 5%), serif C 40% (still image: 20% / moving image: 20%), serif E: 10% (still image: 5% / moving image: 5%), serif D is not selected. In this special view fluctuation effect, "reach" is established, and after "SP reach", stop display is performed in a mode in which the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 indicate a big hit, "big hit game 2 Is executed.

  In the case of "special / flirting jackpot fluctuation" and "big hit pattern 1", 25% non-execution, 5% serif A, 10% serif B (still image: 5%, moving image: 5%), Select Serif C at a ratio of 40% (still image: 10% / moving image: 30%), Serif D: 20% (still image: 5% / moving image: 15%) and do not select serif E. In this special figure fluctuation production, "reach" is realized, and after "special reach" and "flicker production", stop display in a mode in which the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 show a big hit And the "jackpot game 1" is executed.

  In the case of “special / flood jackpot fluctuation” and “big hit pattern 2”, non-execution 25%, serif A 5%, serif B 10% (still image: 5%, moving image: 5%), Select serif C at a ratio of 40% (still image: 20% / moving image: 20%), serif E at a ratio of 20% (still image: 10% / moving image: 10%) and do not select serif D. In this special figure fluctuation production, "reach" is realized, and after "special reach" and "flicker production", stop display in a mode in which the design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 show a big hit And the "jackpot game 2" is executed.

  Here, the role of the “previous stage serif effect” of each of the serif A, the serif B, the serif C, the serif D, and the serif E will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 37A, the dialogue A is easy to be selected in the “normal A loss fluctuation” in which the “reach” does not hold, and the “special loss fluctuation”, the “SP loss fluctuation” in which the “reach” is satisfied, Since it is difficult to select “Special / Bigger Fluctuation”, “SP Jackpot Fluctuation” and “Special / Bigger Jackpot Fluctuation”, the “pre-stage dialogue effect” of serif A has a low possibility of “reach” being established. It acts as a suggestive effect.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (A), in the “normal A loss fluctuation” in which “reach” does not hold, since “serif B” is more difficult to select than serif A, “preceding serif effect in serif B” corresponds to “serif A”. It functions as an effect that suggests that "reach" is more likely to be established than "previous stage speech effect".

  As shown in FIG. 37A, the words C, D, and E are not selected in the “normal A loss variation” in which “reach” is not established, and “reach” is established in the “special loss”. "Since C, Serif D and Serif E" as they may be selected in "Variation", "SP Missing Variation", "Special / Bearing Lost Variation", "SP Big Hit Variation" and "Special / Bearing Big Variation" The dialogue effect functions as an effect that suggests that "reach" is established.

  Moreover, serif D may be selected in the case of "big hit symbol 1" in "SP big hit variation" or "special / hit big hit variation", but is selected in the case of "big hit symbol 2" There is no In addition, serif E may be selected in the case of "big hit pattern 2" in "SP big hit variation" or "special / hit big hit variation", but it should be selected in the case of "big hit symbol 1" There is no Therefore, the "pre-stage speech effect" of the speech D is more likely to be played "big hit game 1" than the "pre-stage speech effect" of the speech E ("high probability high base gaming state" is high) It functions as an effect that suggests that the “big hit game 1” is performed (a “high probability high base gaming state” is to be performed).

  Next, "post-stage speech effect" will be described in detail. The effect control microcomputer 121 is capable of executing "post-stage speech effect" after "turn production" is started in the special-image variation presentation based on the post-stage speech effect selection table shown in FIG. 37 (B). . In this case, it is possible to execute when the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is either “special / abrupt fluctuation” or “special / abrupt jackpot fluctuation”.

  There are five types of serifs: "serif F," "serif G," "serif H," "serif I," and "serif J" in "post-stage serif production". In the “follow-up speech effect” of the speech F, a speech image of “...” Is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and the speech of the speech is not output from the speaker 52. In the “second-stage speech effect” of the speech G, a speech image of “BIGBONUS may” is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and a speech of “big bonus” is output from the speaker 52. In the “post-stage speech effect” of the speech H, a speech image of “SMALLBONUS KA” is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and a speech of “small bonus” is output from the speaker 52. In the second part of the line "Seripher effect" of words I, "BIGBONUS on the display unit 50a! The words image is displayed, from the speaker 52 'Big bonus! The dialogue voice is output. In the second part of the line "demonstration effect" of words J, "It is SMALL BONUS in the display section 50a! The speech image of "small bonus" is output from the speaker 52.

  Although details will be described later, the serif images of the serif G and the serif H include a still image (first display mode) and a moving image (second display mode), and the serif image of the serif F includes There are only still images (first display mode), and serif images of serif I and serif J have only moving pictures (second display mode).

  As shown in FIG. 37 (B), the effect control microcomputer 121 responds to the “post-stage serif effect according to the type of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern, or according to the type of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern and the type of the big hit symbol. "" Selects which serif image is to be displayed in different proportions.

  In the case of “special / dwarf fluctuation”, 60% of serif F, 20% of serif G (still image: 15% / moving image: 5%), 20% of serif H (still image: 15% / moving image : Select at a ratio of 5%, and do not select serif I and serif J. In this special view fluctuation effect, after the "turn around effect", the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a loss.

  In the case of “special / flood jackpot fluctuation” and “big hit pattern 1”, serif F is 5%, serif G is 15% (still image: 5% / moving image: 10%), serif I is 80% Select by percentage, do not select serif H and serif J. In this special view change effect, after the "turn around effect", the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a big hit, and the "big hit game 1" is executed.

  In the case of “special / flood jackpot fluctuation” and “big hit pattern 2”, 5% of serif F, 20% of serif H (still image: 10% / moving image: 10%), serif J of 75% Select by percentage, do not select serif G and serif I. In this special view change effect, after the "flicker effect", the stop symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ2 and EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are displayed in a manner indicating a big hit, and the "big hit game 2" is executed.

  Here, the role of the “post-stage speech effect” of each of the speech F, the speech G, the speech H, the speech I, and the speech J will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (B), the dialogue F is easy to be selected in the “special / dwarf lost fluctuation” which is a loss, and is hard to be selected in the “special / dwarf jackpot fluctuation” which is a large hit. The speech effect "functions as an effect that suggests that the possibility of a jackpot game being played is low.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (B), since the words “G” and “H” are less likely to be selected than the words “F” in the “special / dwarfed change” that causes a loss, the “follow-up line effects” of the words “G” and “H” are It functions as an effect that suggests that the big hit game is more likely to be played than the "follow-up speech effect" of the speech F.

  Moreover, serif G may be selected in the case of "big hit symbol 1" in "special / flirting big hit variation", but is not selected in the case of "big hit symbol 2". In addition, the dialogue H may be selected in the case of "big hit symbol 2" in "special / flirting big hit variation", but is not selected in the case of "big hit symbol 1". Therefore, the "second-stage speech effect" of the speech G is more likely to be played "big hit game 1" than the "second-stage speech effect" of the speech H (the probability of becoming a "high probability high base gaming state" is high) Function as an indication that suggests.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (B), serif I and serif J are not selected in the "special / dwarf lost fluctuation" which is a loss, but are selected in the "special / dwarf jacked fluctuation" which is a big hit. Because of this, the "follow-up speech effect" of the speech I and the speech J functions as an effect that suggests that the jackpot game will be performed.

  Moreover, in the case of "big hit symbol 1", the words I may be selected in "special / succeeded jackpot variation", but not selected in the case of "big hit symbol 2". Moreover, serif J may be selected in the case of "big hit symbol 2" in "special / flirting big hit variation", but is not selected in the case of "big hit symbol 1". Therefore, the "second-stage speech effect" of the speech I is more likely to be played "big hit game 1" than the "second-stage speech effect" of the speech J (the probability of becoming a "high probability high base gaming state" is high) Function as an indication that suggests.

  Next, the speech image of “pre-stage speech effect production” or “post-stage speech effect production” will be described in detail. As described above, the dialogue image of "previous stage speech effect" or "post stage speech effect" is displayed as a moving image (second display mode) when displayed as a still image (first display mode) There are times.

  FIG. 38A to FIG. 38C are diagrams showing how a speech image is displayed as a still image in the “preceding stage speech effect”. As shown in FIG. 38A (before “reach” is established) when all of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed after “normal fluctuation” is started in the special figure fluctuation production. In addition, the teammate character image G5 is displayed at the right end on the background image (for example, the background image for normal day G102) displayed on the display unit 50a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 38B, a blow-out image G6 is displayed on the left side of the teammate character image G5. Then, as shown in FIG. 38C, a serif image is displayed as a still image on the blow-out image G6 (here, a serif image of “REACH may be”). The serif image displayed as a still image continues to be displayed without moving relative to the background image, and is erased together with the ally character image G5 and the blowout image G6 before the left effect pattern EZ1 is temporarily stopped (predetermined time For example 3 seconds)).

  FIGS. 38D to 38F are diagrams showing how a speech image is displayed as a moving image in the "preceding stage speech effect". As shown in FIG. 38 (D) when all of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are fluctuatingly displayed (before “reach” is established) after “normal fluctuation” is started in the special figure fluctuation production. In addition, the teammate character image G5 is displayed at the right end on the background image (for example, the background image for normal day G102) displayed on the display unit 50a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 38E, on the left side of the ally character image G5, a moving image in which the speech image moves to the left one character at a time is displayed as if it were emitted from the mouth of the ally character. Then, as shown in FIG. 38F, when all the characters of the speech image are displayed, the movement of the speech image is stopped (here, the speech image of "REACH!"). The serif image displayed as a moving image continues to be displayed even after all the characters have been displayed, and is erased together with the ally character image G5 before the left effect pattern EZ1 is temporarily stopped (for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) Is erased).

  39 (A) to 39 (C) are diagrams showing how a speech image is displayed as a still image in the "post-stage speech effect". After "flicker effect" is started by the special figure fluctuation effect, as shown in FIG. 39A, the friend character image G7 is displayed at the right end on the special reach background image G115 displayed on the display unit 50a. Ru. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 39 (B), the blowout image G8 is displayed on the left side of the character image G7. Then, as shown in FIG. 39C, a serif image is displayed as a still image on the blow-out image G8 (here, a serif image of “BIGBONUS may”). The serif image displayed as a still image continues to be displayed without moving with respect to the background image, and is erased together with the ally character image G7 and the blowout image G8 before the rendering patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 stop. Erased in time (eg 3 seconds).

  39 (D) to 39 (F) are diagrams showing how a speech image is displayed as a moving image in the "post-stage speech effect". After "flicker effect" is started by the special figure change effect, as shown in FIG. 39 (D), the ally character image G7 is displayed at the right end on the special reach background image G115 displayed on the display unit 50a. Ru. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 39E, on the left side of the ally character image G7, a moving image in which the speech image moves to the left one character at a time is displayed as if it were emitted from the mouth of the ally character. Then, when all the characters of the speech image are displayed, the movement of the speech image stops (here, the speech image of "BIGBONUS!"). The serif image displayed as a moving image continues to be displayed even after all the characters are displayed. Then, when the speech image displayed as a moving image is a speech image of either speech G or speech H, the rendering patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are erased before stopping (predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) Is erased). On the other hand, if the serif image displayed as a moving image is any of the serif images of the serif J and the serif I, as shown in FIG. 39F, the effect will continue even if the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped. Are displayed during the jackpot game (e.g., in response to the end of the opening).

  Here, the roles of the still image and the moving image in the speech image of “post-stage speech effect” will be described. The “post-stage speech effect (still image effect)” in which the speech image is displayed as a still image is easy to be selected in the “special / flirting loss fluctuation” that causes loss, and is hard to be selected in the “special . In addition, “post-stage speech effect (moving image effect)” in which a speech image is displayed as a moving image is difficult to be selected in “special / dangerous loss fluctuation” that causes loss, and is selected in “special / destroying big hit fluctuation” that is a big hit easy. Therefore, the “post-stage speech effect” in which the speech image is displayed as a moving image functions as an effect that suggests that the big hit game is more likely to be performed than the “post-stage speech effect” in which the speech image is displayed as a still image. Do.

  In addition, in the case of "big hit symbol 1" in the "special / scruffed jackpot variation", the "follow-up phrase effect" of the serif I in which the word image is displayed as a moving image may be selected, but "big hit symbol" In the case of 2 ", it is not selected. In addition, in the case of "big hit pattern 2" in the "special / scruffed big hit fluctuation", the "post-speech effect" of the voice J that the word image is displayed as a moving image may be selected, but "big hit symbol" In the case of 1 ", it is not selected. Therefore, in the "post-stage speech effect" of the speech I in which the speech image is displayed as a moving image, "big hit game 1" may be performed rather than the "post-stage speech effect" of the speech J in which the speech image is displayed in the moving image Performance that suggests that is high (that there is a high probability of becoming a "high probability high base gaming state") or that "the jackpot game 1" is performed ("high probability high base gaming state") Acts as a suggestive effect.

  Next, the ally character image G7 displayed in the "post-stage speech effect" will be described in detail. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the ally character image on the display unit 50a based on the ally character selection table shown in FIG. 37C, and the voice of the speech from the speaker 52 is different according to the ally character image. It is possible to output

  There are three types of images of the ally character A, the ally character B, and the ally character C in the ally character images displayed in the “post-stage dialogue effect”. In the “follow-up dialogue effect” of the ally character A, the image of the ally character A is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and the speech of the ally character A is output from the speaker 52 as the voice of the ally character A. In the “follow-up speech effect” of the ally character B, the image of the ally character B is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and the speech of the ally character B is output from the speaker 52 as a voice of the ally character B. In the “follow-up speech effect” of the ally character C, the image of the ally character C is displayed on the display unit 50 a, and the speech of the ally character C is output from the speaker 52 as a voice of the ally character C.

  The effect control microcomputer 121, as shown in FIG. 37C, responds to the “post-stage serif effect according to the type of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern, or according to the type of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern and the type of the big hit symbol. "" Is selected at different ratios to which image of the ally character is to be displayed.

  In the case of "special / changed lost fluctuation", the teammate character A is selected at 70%, the teammate character B at 20%, and the teammate character C at a ratio of 10%. In this special view fluctuation effect, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a loss.

  In the case of "special / succeeding jackpot variation" and "big hit pattern 1", the teammate character A is selected at a ratio of 30%, the teammate character B at a ratio of 30%, and the teammate character C at a ratio of 40%. In this special view fluctuation effect, the display symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode showing a big hit, and the "big hit game 1" is executed.

  In the case of "special / succeeding jackpot variation" and "big hit pattern 2", the teammate character A is selected by 30%, the teammate character B by 40%, and the teammate character C by 30%. In this special figure change effect, the stop symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are displayed in a manner showing a big hit, and the "big hit game 2" is executed.

  Here, the role of the “post-stage speech effect” of each of the teammate character A, the teammate character B and the teammate character C will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 37C, the ally character A is easy to be selected in the "special / dwarf lost fluctuation" which causes a loss, and is hard to be selected in the "special / succeeded jackpot fluctuation" which is a large hit. The “second-stage speech effect” functions as an effect that suggests that the possibility of a jackpot game being played is low.

  Since the ally character B and the ally character C are less likely to be selected than the ally character A in the “special / corruption lost variation” which causes a loss, as shown in FIG. 37C, the ally character B and the ally character C The second-stage speech effect "functions as an effect that suggests that a big hit game is more easily performed than the" second-stage speech effect "of the allied character A.

  Further, the ally character B is more likely to be selected in the case of the “big hit symbol 2” than in the “big hit symbol 1” in the “special / succeeded jackpot variation”. In addition, in the “special / flirting jackpot variation”, the ally character C is more likely to be selected in the “big hit symbol A” case than in the “big hit symbol 2” case. Therefore, it is more likely that the "big hit game 1" will be played than the "follow-up speech effect" of the ally character B ("high probability high base gaming state") Function as a suggestion that suggests that

<Effect of First Embodiment>
The effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be described below.

(1) Since the dialogue image of "pre-stage speech effect" or "post-stage speech effect" is displayed as a still image or as a moving image, the variation of the presentation increases and the interest of the game is improved. It is possible to

(2) In “pre-stage speech effect” or “post-stage speech effect”, the probability that a jackpot game will be played differs from each other when the speech image is displayed as a moving image rather than when the speech image is displayed as a still image. It is possible to make the player feel comfortable by the display content of the image.

(3) The "big hit game 1" is more likely to be played when the content of the line is "Bigbon may" than in the "preceding line's effect" or "latter's line effect" Because it is easy to become “probability high base gaming state”), it is possible to make the player feel better by the contents of the words.

(4) As the content of the dialogue, "It is SMALL BONUS! And 'Bigbonous! Since it directly suggests that “big hit game 1” and “big hit game 2” are performed, etc., it is possible to teach the player the contents of the played big hit game in an easy-to-understand manner.

(5) In the "post-stage speech effect", since the big hit game is easier to be played when the ally character B or C is more kind than the ally character A as the ally character type, the player is selected depending on the ally character type. It is possible to have a good time.

(6) In the "follow-up speech effect", the "big hit game 1" is more likely to be played when the ally character C is more than the ally character B as the ally character type ("high probability high base gaming state") Because it is easy to become), it is possible to make a player feel comfortable by the kind of ally character.

<Example of Modification of First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, modifications of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the “previous stage speech effect” includes “normal A loss fluctuation”, “special A displacement fluctuation”, “SP loss fluctuation”, “special / rotation loss fluctuation”, “SP jackpot fluctuation” and “special / Although it is executed by the special figure fluctuation rendition for any fluctuation pattern of “the jackpot fluctuation”, it may be executed by the special figure fluctuation rendition for other fluctuation patterns.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the “post-stage speech effect” is executed as a special figure fluctuation effect with respect to any of the special figure fluctuation patterns of the “special / abrupt change” and the “special / abrupt jackpot fluctuation”. It may be made to be performed by special figure change production to other change patterns.

  In the first embodiment, the jackpot game is more easily played when the speech image is displayed as a moving image than when the speech image is displayed as a still image, but the speech image is displayed as a moving image. The jackpot game may be more easily played when displayed as a still image than when the game is played.
