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

  In addition, the game ball which did not enter any winning opening (1st starting opening 11, 2nd starting opening 12, general winning opening 10, 1st big winning opening 14, and 2nd big winning opening 15), It is guided to the out port 19 and discharged. In addition, it is possible to appropriately set the number of winning balls by winning in each winning opening.

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

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

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

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

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

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering) of the game ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, various random numbers (an example of determination information) for performing special drawing lottery etc. It may be acquired. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the below-mentioned special figure reservation storage unit 105 as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers”, and the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 12 The various random numbers acquired by (entering) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special view 1 related random number is stored as the special view 1 reserve, in the special view 1 reserve storage unit 105 a in the special view reserve storage unit 105. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored as the special figure 2 reserve, in the special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105 b in the special figure reserve storage unit 105. For the number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special view 1 reservation storage unit 105a (the special figure 1 reservation number) and the number of special view 2 reservations that can be stored in the special view 2 reservation storage unit 105b (the special figure 2 reservation number) The upper limit (four in this embodiment) is set. The upper limit of the special figure 1 holding number and the special figure 2 holding number can be changed as appropriate, and the upper limit may be “none”. In the following, the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve are generically called "special figure reserve", and the special figure 1 reserve number and the special figure 2 reserve number are generically called "special figure reserve number". Also, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are generically called "special figure related random number".

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

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

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

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

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

3-1-1. Clash Determination Clash determination is determination to determine whether or not a match is made (whether or not an auxiliary game is to be executed) according to a clash determination table as shown in FIG. 9 (A). The hit determination table is associated with the gaming state described later. That is, the collision determination table includes a collision determination table (non-time reduction collision determination table) used in the non-short time state and a collision determination table (time reduction collision determination table) used in the time reduction state. In each hit determination table, the determination value (normal symbol random number value) of the normal symbol random number is distributed to the hit and the loss which is the result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a hit determination as to whether it is a hit or a loss by determining the acquired normal symbol random number according to the hit determination table. Then, based on the result of the collision determination, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination for performing variable display of the common drawing is performed. Basically, when the result of the hit determination is a hit, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in a variable display of a common figure. On the other hand, when the result of the collision determination is a loss, basically, the lost spread is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the spread. The winning probability of winning can be changed as appropriate. Further, the hit determination table may not be divided for each gaming state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3-2-5. Pre-reading Determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination according to a pre-reading determination table as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special-image-related random numbers. The prefetch determination is performed prior to the jackpot determination (specifically, for example, at the time of winning on the starting opening). For the pre-reading determination, for example, it is determined whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be the big hit in the big hit determination, the big hit symbol type random number is the determination of which big hit symbol type is determined in the big hit symbol type determination, For example, it may be determined which special pattern fluctuation pattern is determined as the special pattern fluctuation pattern determination. The pre-reading determination table is associated with the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12) according to the starting winning combination. That is, in the prefetch determination table, a prefetch determination table (first prefetch determination table) when winning at the first starting port 11 and a prefetch determination table (second prefetch determination table) when winning at the second starting port 12 There is. Since the first starting opening 11 is a starting opening that triggers the drawing of the special drawing 1, the first prefetch determination table can also be referred to as the special drawing 1 prefetching determination table. In addition, since the second starting opening 12 is a starting opening that triggers the drawing of the special view 2, the second prefetch determination table can also be referred to as a special view 2 prefetch determination table. The pre-read determination table may not be divided according to the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The distribution member 16k is controlled in a fixed operation mode (that is, the specific area 16 is controlled in a fixed opening and closing manner). For example, the distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big winning opening 15 is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second big winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second big winning opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15, and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and Because of the relationship with timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). In this manner, the game ball is determined as a specific area in the big hit game by a combination of the fixed operation mode of the sorting member 16k (the fixed open and closed mode of the specific area 16) and the open and closed mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the big hit game. It is possible to set the difficulty (easiness) of making 16 enter. The operation mode of the distribution member 16k can be changed as appropriate. In the case where another operation mode is shown in the description of "features of pachinko game machine PY1" described later, it is assumed that the operation mode is adopted in the pachinko game machine PY1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Here, the possibility that the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach may be stopped in a manner showing a big hit (big hit expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot decision. For example, the execution probability of N reach is 10% if the result of the big hit judgment is "losing" and 100% if the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit", the execution probability of the SP reach is big hit judgment If the result of “No” is 4%, and the result of the big hit judgment is “big hit”, 100%, set the SP reach jackpot expectation higher than the N reach jackpot expectation It is possible. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is "loss", and the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit" If the result of the big hit judgment is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is “losing” and 20% if the result of the big hit judgment is “big hit”, It is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach A higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach B. As described above, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

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

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

  Further, as shown in FIG. 20A, the icon display area 50e consisting of one display area can be provided in the vicinity of the reserved icon display area 50d. The icon display area 50e can display the same icon TA (also referred to as the hold icon TA) that is the same as the hold icon HA in response to the start of the special figure change effect. Note that an icon different from the hold icon HA may be displayed as the icon TA.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the operation effect, for example, a period (operation effective period) in which the pressing operation of the input device (special button 41) is effective occurs in the SP reach, and as shown in FIG. Thus, an effect (operation promotion effect) for urging the operation of the special button 41 is performed. In the operation promotion effect, the operation promotion image G3 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Operation promotion image G3 is an image simulating special button 41 (special button image G31), an image representing the operation mode of special button 41 (that is, pressing operation) (pressing operation image G32), and the remaining time of the operation valid period And an image representing the operation effective period remaining time image G33). The operation valid period remaining time image G33 is composed of a roughly curved progress bar, and changes with the passage of time so that the player can easily understand the remaining time of the operation valid period. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22B, when the special button 41 is pressed in the operation valid period or after the operation valid period has elapsed without the special button 41 being operated in the operation valid period. The on-board movable device 55 is activated, and the on-board movable body 55k moves so as to overlap on the display unit 50a, suggesting a jackpot expectation. The operation effect is not limited to the operation of the on-board movable device 55, and can be appropriately changed or added. In addition, an operation promotion effect that urges the operation of the operation means (operation unit) such as the special button 41 and the normal button 40 is also referred to as an operation instruction effect. In the operation promotion effect that urges the operation of the normal button 40, an image promoting the normal button 40 (special button image), an image representing the operation mode of the normal button 40, and an operation promotion image including an image representing the operation valid period are displayed It is displayed on the section 50a.

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

  In the pre-reading effect, for example, when the result of the pre-reading determination for the special figure 1 hold is "big hit", as shown in FIG. 20C, the hold icon HA normally displayed as "で" in the hold icon display area 50d. May be displayed as "☆". In addition, when the result of the pre-reading determination is “missing”, the hold icon HA may be displayed as “☆” as so-called “gasse effect”. As described above, the pre-reading effect of displaying the hold icon HA and the icon TA in a special mode ("☆" in this mode) instead of the normal mode ("O" in this mode) is referred to as a hold change effect. Also, the hold icon HA and the icon TA are collectively referred to as hold display. In the present embodiment, the hold icon HA and the icon TA are displayed as the hold display, but only the hold icon HA may be displayed and the icon TA may not be displayed. In addition, the timing to perform the suspension display of the special mode in the suspension change presentation may be at the time of occurrence of the start winning that triggers the suspension display, or at the time of the shift display of the suspension display (display area of suspension icon HA When it is changed, it may be during execution of the special figure change corresponding to the suspension display (when displayed as the icon TA). In addition, there may be a plurality of types of special modes of the hold display.

  In addition, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect on both or one of the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve. Further, the pre-reading effect is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, and can be appropriately changed or added. As pre-reading effect other than reservation change production, for example, what is called continuous announcement etc. are mentioned.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the first starting opening sensor process, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the first starting opening sensor 11a.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7. Feature part of pachinko gaming machine PY1 Hereinafter, the feature part of pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described in detail. In addition, one of the features of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in the disk advance notice which is performed before SP reach (story reach, battle reach, and co-op reach).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, the fluctuation pattern determination of the special view 1 in the non-time-short state will be described. In the non-time-saving state, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the special view 1 change pattern using the special view 1 change pattern determination table shown in FIG.

  In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process when the game control microcomputer 101 is set to the non-short time state, the result of the big hit judgment performed in the special figure 1 judgment process, the result of the reach judgment, and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number The special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined based on. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 29, when the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination, it is a special figure also in the case of the jackpot symbol 1 and the jackpot symbol 2 as well. One of “THP 001” to “THP 004” can be determined as one variation pattern. It is distributed by the special figure fluctuation pattern random number as to which special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined. The distribution ratio is as shown in FIG. In addition, about the distribution ratio (selection ratio) of the special figure fluctuation pattern, it is possible to change suitably in the range which does not affect a game. The same applies to special figure fluctuation patterns other than “THP001” to “THP004”.

  Further, when the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines that there is a loss in the big hit determination, and the result of the reach determination is “with reach”, “THP011” to “THP014” as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. It is possible to determine either.

  Further, when the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines that there is a loss in the big hit determination, and the result of the reach determination is “no reach”, “THP 021”, “THP 022” as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. , “THP 023” can be determined. Which one of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns to be determined is allocated according to the number of special figure 1 reservations. In the case where the number of reserved special figures 1 is 0 to 2, it is easy to determine the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the special figure fluctuation time is relatively long, and in the case where the number of reserved special figures 1 is 3 to 4, the special figure fluctuation It is easy to determine the special pattern fluctuation pattern whose time is relatively short.

  Here, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 001” is a winning match fluctuation with which a double fighting reach (a kind of SP reach) is performed, and the special figure 1 variation pattern “THP011” is a common fighting reach loss variation with which a double fighting reach is performed is there. In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP002” is a battle reach jackpot fluctuation in which battle reach (a kind of SP reach) is performed, and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP012” is a battle reach loss fluctuation in which battle reach is performed . In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP003” is a story reach jackpot fluctuation in which story reach (a kind of SP reach) is performed, and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP013” is a story reach loss fluctuation in which story reach is performed . In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP 004” is N jackpot fluctuation in which SP reach is not performed although the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 become reach, and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP014” is the presentation pattern EZ1, It is N loss change that SP reach is not performed although EZ2 and EZ3 become reach.

  Battle reach and story reach are an example of a specific effect and an example of a second effect. The co-op reach may be included in the specific effect or may be included in the second effect. Also, the story reach is an example of a first specific effect, and the battle reach is an example of a second specific effect. Moreover, the co-op reach is an example of a special specific effect. Also, story reach and battle reach are examples of normal specific effects.

  The story reach is a presentation that displays a story related to the main character and branches into a successful presentation leading to good ending or a failure presentation not leading to good ending (see FIG. 30). In battle reach, a main character and an enemy character battle each other, and finally, a victory effect (an example of a success effect) in which the main character wins, or a defeat effect (an example of a failure effect) in which the main character defeats It is an effect that branches to) (see FIG. 31). In addition, in the common battle reach, the main character and its allied characters cooperate to challenge the battle with the enemy character, and finally, a victory effect (an example of a success effect) in which the main character wins, or a main character loses It is an effect that branches to a defeat effect (an example of a failure effect) (see FIG. 32). In any reach effect (competitive reach, battle reach, story reach), the successful effect is an effect that suggests a big hit and the failure effect is an effect that suggests a loss. In addition, I will elaborate on the battle reach, battle reach and story reach later.

  The special figure 1 fluctuation pattern “THP021” shown in FIG. 29 is a “normal A loss fluctuation” in which the fluctuation effect ends in 10 seconds without the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 becoming a reach, and the “THP 022” is an effect It is a "normal B loss change" in which the variable effects end in 7 seconds without the symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 becoming reach, and for the "THP 023", the change effects are not reached when the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 become reach. It is a "normal C loss change" that ends in 4 seconds. In addition, the reach is a state in which one of the plurality of effect symbols that is variably displayed is the remaining one, and depending on which symbol the fluctuation symbol is displayed and stopped, It is a state (for example, the state of "7 ↓ 7") which is a combination of effect symbols indicating that the game state becomes advantageous to the player (for example, becoming the big hit game state).

  Next, among the main effects (normal change, N reach, story reach, battle reach, co-battle reach) that constitute the special figure change production in the above-mentioned special map fluctuation pattern, the story reach, the battle reach and the co-battle reach are detailed explain. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the special image fluctuation effect, and emits light using the frame lamp 53 or the panel lamp 54 according to the display of the effect image. It is possible to execute effects, sound effects using the speaker 52, movable body effects using the movable devices 55, 56, 58, and operation effects using the input device (the normal button 40 and the special button 41).

<Story reach>
Story reach is a reach production that shows a story about the work that is the motif of this pachinko gaming machine PY1. The story reach has a bifurcation branch, and branches to a success rendering in which the story ends in a good end, or a failure rendering in which a story ends in a bad end (see FIG. 30). The success rendering in the story reach functions as a rendering that suggests that the player has won the jackpot. The failure rendering in the story reach functions as a rendering that indicates that the player has not won the jackpot.

<Battle reach>
Battle reach is a reach effect in which a main character and an enemy character battle. The battle reach has a critical branch, and branches to a success effect (victory effect) in which the main character defeats the enemy character or a failure effect (defeat effect) in which the main character loses the enemy character (see FIG. 31). The success effect acts as an effect that suggests that the player has won the jackpot similarly to the success effect in the story reach. The failure effect acts as an effect that suggests that the player has not won the jackpot as well as the failure effect in the story reach.

<Mutual Reach>
The co-op reach is a reach effect in which the main character cooperates with the ally character to battle with the enemy character. The co-fight reach has a critical branch, and branches to a success effect (victory effect) in which the main character defeats the enemy character or a failure effect (defeat effect) in which the main character defeats the enemy character (see FIG. 32). The success effect acts as an effect that suggests that the player has won the jackpot as well as the success effect in the story reach and the battle reach. The failure presentation functions as a production that indicates that the player has not won the jackpot as well as the failure presentation in the story reach and the battle reach.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29, when the jackpot is won (in the case of the jackpot fluctuation), the co-op reach is easier to be executed than the battle reach and the story reach, and the battle reach and the story reach have the same ratio Is executed by On the other hand, in the case of a loss (in the case of a change in a loss), the story reach is easier to execute than the battle reach and the co-op reach, and the battle reach is more easily performed than the co-op reach. That is, in the present embodiment, the co-op reach is a reach production with a higher jackpot expectation than the battle reach and the story reach, and the battle reach is a reach production with a higher jackpot expectation than the story reach. In particular, the co-op reach is hardly executed in the case of a loss, so it is a reach production with a very high degree of expectation. In the critical branch in various SP reach (story reach, battle reach, co-op reach), an operation effect may be performed to operate the operation unit (the normal button 40 or the special button 41).

  Here, in the present embodiment, prior to the combined reach reach, battle reach, story reach, and N reach, advance notice effects are to be executed (refer to the column of “Effect flow of special pattern change effect in FIG. 29”. ). The advance presentation effect is an effect that causes the establishment of the reach to be expected, or suggests the degree of expectation that the jackpot game is to be executed (the jackpot expectation degree). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can execute various types of advance notice effects. Among them, the characteristic effect is a disc advance notice effect (corresponding to a first effect) for reproducing a disc. Below, the configuration related to the execution of the disc advance presentation effect will be described in detail.

  FIG. 33 is an effect flow relating to the execution of the disk advance effect. As shown in FIG. 33, the disc advance notice effect is executed through the disc turning effect of the success mode after the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started. The disc turning effect is an effect that encourages the execution of the disc advance notice effect, and is an effect that branches into a success mode that suggests that the disc advance notice effect is executed and a failure mode that suggests that the disc advance notice effect is not executed. is there. When the disc turning effect in the failure mode is executed, the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed at the non-reach losing eyes (non-reach barring eyes) indicating a loss, and the disc advance notice effect is not executed.

  There are four parts of the disc advance production, early stage, middle stage, late stage, and extension. In the execution pattern of the disc advance production, there are a pattern that ends in the early stage (a pattern in which only the early stage is executed), a pattern that is executed and executed from the early stage to the late stage (a pattern in which the early stage, the middle, and the late stage is executed) There is a pattern (an early stage, a middle stage, an end stage, an extension is executed) in which the extension part is executed after being executed from the end to the end. The pattern that ends in the early stage is called the cassette pattern. Also, a pattern that is executed from the beginning to the end and finished is called a normal pattern. Also, a pattern in which an extension part is executed after being executed from the early stage to the late stage is called a special pattern.

  When the disc advance notice effect ends in the early stage (when the cassette pattern is executed), the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed at the missing eye (more specifically, the reach losing eye). On the other hand, when the disc advance notice is executed until the end (when the normal pattern is executed) or when the disc advance effect is executed until the extension (when the special pattern is executed), the development effect The SP reach is executed after (the movable body effect). Although described in detail later, in this embodiment, when the normal pattern is executed, battle reach or story reach is executed as the SP reach, and when the special pattern is executed, the co-reach reach is executed as the SP reach. Be done.

  Next, a specific configuration of the disc advance presentation effect will be described based on FIG. The disc advance notice is an effect to reproduce the disc recording the growth of the main character (see FIG. 39 to FIG. 41), and as described above, the disc notice effect includes four parts: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and extension. There is. As shown in FIG. 34, the early part is composed of a part of “birth” and a part of “hot and cold”. The middle part consists of the "sword toy" part, the "training (boy)" part, and the "training (youth)" part. Also, the final part is composed of the "knight" part. Also, the extension part is composed of the "special training (knight)" part.

  The part of "birth" is composed of the animation of the just born main character (see FIG. 39 (A)). This part is a part from "00:00" to "00:09" in the reproduction time display G60 indicating the progress of the disc advance presentation effect. In addition, the part of “hot and cold” is composed of the moving image of the main character of the hot and cold walking (see FIG. 39 (B)). This part is a part whose playback time display G60 is "00:10" to "00:19".

  Further, the part of "sword toy" is composed of a moving image of a protagonist character of an early childhood showing interest in the sword toy (see FIG. 39C). This part is a part whose playback time display G60 is "00:20" to "00:29". In addition, the part of “Study (boy)” is composed of a moving image in which the main character of the boy is engaged in the practice of swordsmanship (see FIG. 39 (D)). This part is a part from "00:30" to "00:39" in the reproduction time display G60. Further, the part of “Study (Youth)” is composed of a moving image in which the main character of the youth is devoted to the practice of swordsmanship (see FIG. 40A). This part is a part whose playback time display G60 is "00:40" to "00:49".

  In addition, the part of "knight" is composed of a moving image of the main character that can be transformed into a knight who has been trained after training (see FIGS. 40 (B) and (C)). This part is a part whose playback time display G60 is "00:50" to "00:59".

  In addition, the part of “special training (knight)” is composed of a moving image in which the main character transformed into a knight who has given a whistle is performing special training (see FIGS. 41 (A) and (B)). This part is a part whose playback time display G60 is "01:00" to "01:09".

  Here, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 may perform disc advance notice at a special advance speed that is higher than a normal advance speed. Specifically, the disc advance notice effect is performed at the normal progression speed until the reproduction time display G60 becomes "00:15", and then the special advance speed is performed until the reproduction time display G60 becomes "00:52", From "00: 52", proceed at normal speed again. As a result, the disc is normally reproduced during the period from "00:00" to "00:14" of the playback time display G60, and the disc is fast-forwarded during the period from "00:15" to "00:51". In the period from 00:52 "onward, the disc appears as if it was normally reproduced (see FIG. 42). In addition, the advancing aspect reproduced | regenerated at a normal advancing speed is called a normal advancing aspect, and the advancing aspect reproduced | regenerated at a special advancing speed is called a special advancing aspect. Also, the fast-forwarding period is called a fast-forwarding period. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes the disc advance notice until the end of the game (when it is executed until the reproduction time display G60 becomes "00:59") and when it is performed until the extension (reproduction time display G60 is "01:09 (When it is performed until it becomes “)”, the disc advance presentation may be performed in a special progress mode.

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

  First, an explanation will be given of an execution lottery of a disk turning effect by the effect control microcomputer 121. The execution lottery of the disk turning effect is performed based on the lottery table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 35, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “competitive reach jackpot fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 makes the disc rotate in the success mode The effect is selected at a rate of 50%, and there is no selection of the disc turning effect in the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected. As another notice effect, a known notice effect such as a chance up notice or a step up notice can be adopted. This is the same as in the case of the special figure fluctuation pattern other than "competitive reach jackpot fluctuation".

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the disc turning effect of the success mode to 35% when the special view change pattern indicated by the special view 1 change start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is "battle reach jackpot change". There is no selection by percentage and selection of the disc turning effect of the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the disc turning effect of the success mode to 35% when the special view change pattern indicated by the special view 1 change start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is "Story reach jackpot change". There is no selection by percentage and selection of the disc turning effect of the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected.

  Further, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “N big hit fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a disc with a failure mode of the success mode and the failure mode as well. There is no need to select a sting effect either. In the case of N jackpot variation, another preview effect is to be selected.

  Further, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “competing reach loss fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 has a ratio of 40% of the disc turning effect of the success mode There is no selection of the disc turning effect in the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected.

  Further, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “battle reach loss fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a ratio of 25% of the disc turning effect of the success mode There is no selection of the disc turning effect in the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected.

  Further, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “story reach loss fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 has a ratio of 25% of the disc turning effect of the success mode There is no selection of the disc turning effect in the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected.

  Further, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “N loss fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 has a ratio of 20% of the disc turning effect of the success mode. There is no selection of the disc turning effect in the failure mode. If the disc turning effect of the success mode is not selected, another preview effect is selected.

  In addition, when the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure 1 fluctuation start command received from the game control microcomputer 101 is “normal A loss fluctuation”, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the disc turning effect of the failure mode to be 10%. There is no selection by ratio and selection of the disc turning effect of the success mode. When the disc turning effect of the failure mode is not selected, another preview effect may be selected.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the disc turning effect is performed in the special figure change in which the SP reach (competitive reach, battle reach, story reach) is executed, it is a big hit change or a lost change, Make sure to execute the disc turning effect in the success mode. In addition, also in the case of executing the disc turning effect in the case of the N number of variations, the disc turning effect of the success mode is always executed. On the other hand, when the disc turning effect is executed in the normal A change, the disc turning effect of the failure mode is always executed. That is, in the present embodiment, the reach is established when the disc turning effect of the success mode is executed, and the reach is not realized when the disc turning effect of the failure mode is executed. ing. Incidentally, after the disc turning effect of the success mode is executed, the disc advance notice effect is executed (see FIG. 33). Therefore, in the present embodiment, it can be said that the reach is established when the disc advance notice effect is executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 35, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is “N loss fluctuation”, it is a fluctuation pattern in which various SP reach (story reach, battle reach, coward reach) are performed. Is more likely to perform the disc turning effect in the success mode. Therefore, the disc turning effect in the success mode functions as an effect to be expected for the execution of the SP reach. Further, in the present embodiment, the “divergence reach jackpot fluctuation” is easier to execute the disc turning effect (and the subsequent disc advance presentation effect) in the success mode than the “combative reach loss fluctuation”. In addition, the "battle reach jackpot change" is easier to execute the disc turn-over effect (and the subsequent disc advance notice effect) of the success mode than the "battle reach loss change". In addition, “Story reach jackpot fluctuation” is easier to be executed in the disc turning effect (and the subsequent disc preview effect) in the success mode than “Story reach loss fluctuation”. Therefore, the disc turning effect (and the subsequent disc previewing effect) in the success mode functions as an effect to make the jackpot win.

  Next, an execution lottery of the disc advance notice effect by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described. In the execution lottery of the disk advance presentation effect, the disk advance presentation effect is performed by using a cassette pattern (a pattern ending in the early stage), a normal pattern (a pattern ending in the late stage), or a special pattern (a pattern executed until extension) Decide what to do. The execution lottery of the disk advance presentation effect is performed based on the lottery table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 36, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is “competit reach reach jackpot fluctuation” and the “success mode” is selected in the lottery for disk turning effect (see FIG. 35), the effect control microcomputer 121 selects Decide to perform disc advance notice with a special pattern.

  Also, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects the “success mode” in the lottery for turning on a disk (see FIG. 35) in which the special figure fluctuation pattern is “battle reach jackpot fluctuation” or “story reach jackpot fluctuation”. Is determined to perform the disc advance presentation in the normal pattern.

  In addition, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is "competitive reach loss fluctuation" and the "success mode" is selected in the disk turning effect lottery (refer to FIG. 35), the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the disc advance notice operation with the special pattern. Decide to do.

  In addition, when the special control fluctuation pattern is "Battle reach loss fluctuation" or "Story reach loss fluctuation" and the "success mode" is selected in the drawing about the disk turning effect (see FIG. 35), the effect control microcomputer 121 selects It is decided to perform the disc advance presentation in the normal pattern.

  Further, when the special control fluctuation pattern is "N loss fluctuation" and the "success mode" is selected in the disk turning effect lottery (refer to FIG. 35), the effect control microcomputer 121 has the disk advance notice effect with the gasse pattern. Decide to do.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a disk with any pattern when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is “normal A loss fluctuation” and “failure mode” is selected in the disk turning effect lottery (see FIG. 35). It is decided not to execute the advance presentation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the disc turning effect of the success mode is executed, the disc advance notice effect is executed following the disc turning effect, but when the disc turning effect of the failure mode is executed, the disc advance notice effect Do not run Therefore, the disc turning effect in the success mode functions as an effect that suggests that the disc advance notice effect is executed, and the disc turning effect in the failure mode functions as an effect that suggests that the disc advance notice effect is not performed. Further, in the present embodiment, “disc advance notice effect of the cassette pattern” is selected only in the case of N-loss fluctuation. Therefore, the “disc advance notice effect of the cassette pattern” functions as an effect that suggests a loss.

  Further, in the present embodiment, “the disk advance notice effect of the normal pattern” is selected only in a change in which battle reach is performed or a change in which story reach is performed. Thus, the “normal pattern disc preview effect” functions as an effect that suggests that battle reach or story reach will be performed. In addition, “special pattern disc advance notice effect” is selected only in the movement in which the common reach is performed. Therefore, the "special pattern disc advance notice effect" functions as an effect that suggests that a co-fight reach will be performed. In addition, the co-op reach is a reach effect that has a higher jackpot expectation than the battle reach and the story reach (see FIG. 29). Therefore, the special-pattern disc advance notice function functions as an effect that suggests a jackpot expectation degree higher than that of the normal-pattern disc advance notice effect.

  Next, the lottery of the progress mode of the disc advance notice effect by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described. In the lottery of the progress mode of the disk advance presentation effect, it is determined whether or not "fast forward" is to be executed in the disk advance presentation effect. The lottery of the progress mode of the disk advance presentation effect is performed based on the lottery table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 37, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects the “special pattern (up to extension)” in the lottery for the disk advance effect (see FIG. 36) in which the special figure fluctuation pattern is “competitive reach jackpot fluctuation”. In the case, select no fast forward (that is, no change from the normal progress mode to the special progress mode) at a rate of 10%, and 90% with fast forward (that is, the change from the normal progress mode to the special progress mode). Select at a rate of

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 fast-forwards when the special figure fluctuation pattern is "battle reach jackpot fluctuation" and "normal pattern (up to the last stage)" is selected in the lottery for disc advance notice effect (see FIG. 36). Select "None" at a rate of 70% and "Fast-forward" at a rate of 30%.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs fast-forwarding when the special figure fluctuation pattern is "story reach jackpot fluctuation" and "normal pattern (up to the end)" is selected in the lottery for disc advance notice effect (see FIG. 36). Select 80% of none, and 20% of fast forward.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 does not have fast forward when no special pattern fluctuation pattern is “competitive reach loss fluctuation” and “special pattern (up to extension)” is selected in the lottery for disc advance notice effect (see FIG. 36). Is selected at a rate of 85%, and fast forward is selected at a rate of 15%.

  Also, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is "Battle reach loss fluctuation" and the "normal pattern (up to the last stage)" is selected in the lottery for disc advance notice effect (see FIG. 36), the effect control microcomputer 121 does not have fast forward Is selected at a rate of 90%, and fast forward is selected at a rate of 10%.

  Further, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is "story reach loss fluctuation" and the "normal pattern (up to the last stage)" is selected in the lottery for disc advance notice effect (see FIG. 36), the effect control microcomputer 121 does not have fast forward Is selected at a rate of 98%, and fast forward is selected at a rate of 2%.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121 does not have fast forward when no special pattern fluctuation pattern is “N loss fluctuation” and “cased pattern (up to the opening stage)” is selected in the lottery for disc advance notice effect (see FIG. 36). Is selected at a rate of 100%, and there is no selection of rapid traverse.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the disc advance notice effect of the cassette pattern is executed, the disc advance notice effect is not executed in the progress mode with the fast forward. Therefore, the progress mode with the fast-forward function functions as an effect that indicates that the disc advance announcement effect is not ended in the early stage (that is, is performed until the last stage or extension), and as an effect that suggests that the SP reach is executed. Function.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the progress mode with fast forward is more lost if it is a big hit change (competit reach reach big hit change, battle reach big hit change, story reach big hit change). It is easier to select than the case of fluctuation). Therefore, the advancing mode with fast forward functions as an effect that suggests that the jackpot expectation is high.

  Also, in this embodiment, the progressing mode with fast-forwarding when the special pattern fluctuation pattern is “competitive reach jackpot fluctuation” is more than “battle reach jackpot fluctuation” or “story reach jackpot fluctuation”. Is easy to select. Therefore, the progress mode with the fast-forward function functions as an effect that indicates that the disc advance notice effect is likely to be executed until the extension (it is highly likely that the co-fight reach is performed). Further, in the present embodiment, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is “battle reach jackpot fluctuation”, the progressing mode with fast-forwarding is more easily selected than in the case of “story reach jackpot fluctuation”. Therefore, the progress mode with the fast forward functions as an effect that suggests that the battle reach is more likely to be executed than the story reach. Further, in the present embodiment, there is extremely little possibility that the common reach will be selected if the result of the jackpot determination is a loss (see FIG. 29), so the fast forward is not effective when the progress mode with fast forward is selected. The co-op reach is performed more easily than when the progress mode is selected (see FIG. 37).

  Next, an example of execution of characteristic effects (disk turn effect, disk advance effect, story reach, battle reach, co-op reach, etc.) in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. In the following description, the illustration of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 may be omitted as appropriate.

<Disc turn production>
A specific example of the disc turning effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 38, the disc turning effect is executed soon after the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started (FIGS. 38A, 38B, 38C). In the disc turning effect, an effect image showing that a predetermined character finds a disc and tries to reproduce the disc, and a serif image of “What is this disc?” Are displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 38 (FIG. C)). If the disc rotation effect of the success mode, following the effect of FIG. 38 (C), the effect image showing how the image stored in the disk is displayed on the display, and the contents of the disk are the growth record of the main character A serif image ("serif image of the growth record of the child!") Indicating that there is a message is displayed on the display unit 50a (Fig. 38 (D)).

  On the other hand, in the case of the disc turning effect in the failure mode, following to the effect of FIG. 38C, the effect image showing that the disc can not be reproduced and the serif image of “I can not see it”. It is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 38 (E)). When the disc turning effect in the failure mode is executed, subsequently, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 The stop display is made with "non-reach lost eyes" indicating a loss (FIG. 38 (F)).

<Disc notice effect>
Next, a specific example of the disc advance presentation effect will be described. When the disc turning effect of the success mode is executed, the disc advance notice effect is subsequently executed (FIG. 39A). In the disk advance presentation effect, the image stored in the disk is displayed on the entire area of the display unit 50a (that is, the display of the display shown in FIG. 38D is displayed on the display unit 50a). Further, in the disc advance notice effect, a reproduction time display G60 indicating the reproduction time is displayed on the upper right portion of the display unit 50a. The reproduction time display G60 is a display indicating how far the disc advance notice effect has progressed, and is updated (advanced) in a count-up form as time passes. The reproduction time display G60 corresponds to "progress display" or "indication display".

  As described above, there are four parts of the disc advance notice effect, the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the extension (FIG. 33). When the disc advance presentation is executed, the early stage is executed first. In the early stage of the disc advance presentation effect, first, a moving image of the just born main character (moving image of a scene of “birth”) is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 39A). The moving image of the scene of “birth” is from “00:00” to “00:09” as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 39A shows the case where the reproduction time display G60 is "00:05".

  In the early stage of the disc advance presentation effect, a scene of “Yoshiki” is displayed on the display unit 50 a following the “birth” scene (FIG. 39 (B)). The video of the scene of "hot-and-slow" is a video of the leading character that has begun to walk. The moving image of the scene of “Yoshiki” is from “00:10” to “00:19” as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 39B shows the case where the reproduction time display G60 is "00:13". Even the scene of "Yokabiki" is the first stage of the disc advance production.

  In the case of the disk preview effect of the Gasse pattern, the disk preview effect ends in the scene of "hot and cold". In this case, following to the effect of FIG. 39 (B), an effect image (an effect image showing a display showing nothing is displayed) showing that the disc advance notification effect has ended halfway, “I finished it. A dialogue image of “.” Is displayed on the display unit 50 a (FIG. 39E). Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 finally become "reach lost eyes" from the state of reach and stop display along with the small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3. (FIG. 39F).

  On the other hand, in the case of the disk preview effect of the normal pattern, or in the case of the disk preview effect of the special pattern, the effect control microcomputer 121 continues the disk preview effect of the scene of "walking". Perform the middle stage. In the middle part of the disc advance notice effect, first, a moving image of the main character showing interest in the sword toy (moving image of a scene of “sword toy”) is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 39C). The moving image of the scene of "sword toy" is from "00:20" to "00:29" as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 39C shows the case where the reproduction time display G60 is "00:21".

  In the middle stage of the disc advance notice effect, a scene of “Study (boy)” is displayed on the display unit 50 a following the scene of “Sword's toy” (FIG. 39 (D)). The animation of the scene of "Study (boy)" is an animation of the main character of the boy who is engaged in the practice of swordsmanship. The moving image of the scene of “Study (boy)” is from “00:30” to “00:39” as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 39D shows the case where the reproduction time display G60 is "00:33".

  Furthermore, in the middle part of the disc advance notice effect, a scene of “Study (Youth)” is displayed on the display unit 50 a following the scene of “Study (Senior)” (FIG. 40 (A)). The animation of the scene of "Study (Youth)" is an animation of the hero character of the youth who is devoted to the practice of swordsmanship with the swordsman. The moving image of the scene of "training (youth)" is from "00:40" to "00:49" as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 40A shows the case where the reproduction time display G60 is "00:45". The scene of "Study (Youth)" is the middle stage of the disk advance presentation.

  The presentation control microcomputer 121 executes the final stage of the disc advance presentation following the scene of "Study (Youth)". At the end of the disc advance production, a movie (a movie of a scene of a "knight") of the main character that has become able to be transformed into a knight with a bribe by training is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 40 (B ) (C)). More specifically, the movie of the scene of "knight" is a movie showing a hero character who is about to transform into a knight who is going to win a whistle (see FIG. 40 (B)) and a hero character who has been transformed into a knight who has wore a whistle And a moving image (see FIG. 40C). The moving image of the scene of "knight" is from "00:50" to "00:59" as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 40 (B) shows that the reproduction time display G60 is "00:53", and FIG. 40 (C) shows that the reproduction time display G60 is "00:57". There is. In addition, when a moving image showing the main character transformed into a knight who has snarled is displayed on the display unit 50a, a serif image rejoicing that the main character has grown into a knight ("I became a knight." (Self-image) is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 40 (C)). The scene of such a "knight" is the end of the disc advance presentation. In addition, it is good also as not displaying a speech image in the case of the effect | action of FIG.40 (C). Alternatively, any one of a plurality of serif images indicating different jackpot expectations may be displayed.

  In the case of the disk preview effect of the normal pattern, the disk preview effect ends in the scene of "knight". In this case, following the effect shown in FIG. 40C, the movable object effect 55k on the board and the movable element 56k on the board overlap the front of the display unit 50a (progressive effect to suggest the development to SP reach) Is executed (FIG. 40D), and develops into battle reach (FIG. 31) or story reach (FIG. 30).

  On the other hand, in the case of the special-pattern disc advance notice effect, the effect control microcomputer 121 executes the part of extension of the disc advance notice effect following the scene of "knight" (FIG. 40C). . In the extension part of the disc advance presentation, the display unit 50a displays a moving image of the main character (special moving knight) scene that is converted to a knight dressed as a whistle and performing special training (FIG. 41). (A) (B)). The moving image of the scene of "special training (knight)" is from "01:00" to "01:09" as viewed on the reproduction time display G60. FIG. 41 (A) shows that the reproduction time display G60 is "01:03", and FIG. 41 (B) shows that the reproduction time display G60 is "01:07". There is. The scene of such a "special training (knight)" is a part of extension of disc advance notice production.

  In the case of the special pattern disc preview effect, the disc preview effect ends in the scene of "special training (knight)". In this case, following the effect shown in FIG. 41 (B), the movable object effect 55k on the board and the movable element 56k on the board overlap the front of the display unit 50a (progressive effect to suggest the development to SP reach) Is executed (FIG. 41 (C)), and it develops into a common battle reach (FIG. 32).

  In this embodiment, the same movable body effect is executed both when developing from the disk advance notice of the normal pattern to battle reach or story reach, and when developing from the disk advance notice of the special pattern to combined reach. On the other hand, for example, a movable body effect that operates only the undercarriage movable body 56k is a movable body effect whose jackpot expectation is lower than that of the movable body effect that operates both the onboard movable body 55k and the undercarriage movable body 56k It may be provided, and it may be constituted so that either movable body production may be performed selectively. By configuring in this way, it is possible to expect improvement in game entertainment.

  Next, the case where fast-forwarding is executed in the disc advance presentation effect will be described. When fast-forwarding is selected in the lottery of the progress mode of the disk advance presentation effect, as shown in FIG. 42 (A), the effect control microcomputer 121 displays “00:00” to “00:14” in the reproduction time display G60. After displaying the image corresponding to the above on the display unit 50a at the normal traveling speed (that is, after displaying as normally reproduced), as shown in FIG. 42 (B), the reproduction time display G60 displays “00 The image corresponding to “15:” to “00: 51” is displayed on the display unit 50 a at a special advancing speed (displayed as being fast-forwarded). In the present embodiment, the special traveling speed is four times the normal traveling speed (quadruple speed). The speed to which the special advance speed is to be made can be changed as appropriate.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when fast-forwarding is executed in the disc advance notice effect, the moving-image to be fast-forwarded is displayed on the display unit 50a at a special advancing speed. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 42B, during fast forward, the character image of “fast forward” and the mark image indicating “fast forward” are also displayed on the display unit 50 a. As a result, the player is clearly indicated that "fast-forwarding" is being performed. Note that the character image “fast forward” and the mark image indicating “fast forward” may not be displayed. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 42 (B), during fast forward, the reproduction time display G60 is also updated at a special advance speed higher than the normal advance speed. That is, the reproduction time display G60 in the disc advance notice effect in the special progress mode is updated at an update speed four times the reproduction time display G60 in the disc advance notice effect in the normal advance mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, the moving image of the main character is displayed at the special advancing speed, and the reproduction time display G60 is also updated at the special advancing speed. Therefore, compared with the case where there is no reproduction time display G60, it is possible to convey the feeling of fast-forwarding to the player more easily.

  After the image corresponding to “00:15” to “00:51” is displayed on the display unit 50a at the special advance speed, the effect control microcomputer 121 is shown in FIG. 42C. As described above, the image corresponding to the period after “00: 52” of the reproduction time display G60 is displayed on the display unit 50a at the normal progressing speed. That is, in the case of the disc advance notice effect of the normal pattern, the image corresponding to “00:52” to “00:59” of the reproduction time display G60 is displayed on the display unit 50a at the normal traveling speed, and then movable Execute battle reach or story reach after body rendition. In addition, in the case of a special pattern disc advance notice, an image corresponding to "00: 52" to "01: 09" is displayed on the display unit 50a at the normal progress speed of the playback time display G60, and then movable. Perform co-op reach through body rendition.

  Here, in the present embodiment, whether the disc advance notice effect ends when the reproduction time display G60 is "00:19" or the disc advance notice effect continues even after "00:20" of the reproduction time display G60, SP reach is achieved. Whether or not to develop is different (see FIGS. 33 and 34). Therefore, one of the concerns of the player when the disc advance notice effect is executed is whether or not the disc advance notice effect is executed when the reproduction time display G60 exceeds "00:19". Therefore, in the present embodiment, fast-forwarding of the disc advance notice effect is started when the reproduction time display G60 is "00:15" and is continued until the reproduction time display G60 becomes "00:52". In other words, fast-forwarding is performed at a timing (at the timing of "00:15" at the playback time display G60) before the timing at which the disc advance notice effect continues (the timing at which the playback time display G60 becomes "00:20"). It is configured so as not to return to the normal reproduction until it is executed and the time when it is recognized that the disc advance presentation effect is continued is exceeded. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the fact that the disc advance notice effect is executed in the fast forward direction is an indication that the disc advance notice effect is executed at least until the final stage. Note that the disc advance notice effect executed in the fast forward and the reproduction time display G60 updated in the fast forward are examples of the “indication effect”. Also, the mode "00:19" of the reproduction time display G60 corresponds to the "predetermined mode", the mode "00:59" corresponds to the "specific mode", and the mode "01:09" is the "special mode". Equivalent to

  In the case of executing the disc advance notice effect in the progress mode with fast forward, the effect time of the disc advance notice effect is shorter than in the case of executing the disc advance notice effect in the progress mode without fast forward. Therefore, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs disc advance notice in a progressive mode with fast forward, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 lengthens the SP reach presentation time following the disc advance notice by the amount shortened by the fast forward. In other words, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is configured to be able to execute the SP reach of the normal performance measure and the SP reach of the performance scale longer than this as the SP reach following the disk advance production. It is assumed that it is possible to execute SP reach of a suitable performance measure according to the performance time. In addition, it is good also as a structure filled with the production | presentation time of the part shortened by performing a disk advance production | presentation in the advancing aspect with fast forward by arbitrary presentation different from SP reach.

<Story reach>
Next, a specific example of story reach will be described. As shown in FIG. 30, in the story reach, first, an image etc. showing the main character appearing in the story and the heroine are displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 30 (A)). The effect shown in FIG. 30A functions as an effect that suggests the start of story reach. Then, an image along the story is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 30 (B)). The story reach of this embodiment is a story in which the main character searches for a heroine.

  If it is the story reach performed based on the story reach jackpot fluctuation (special figure fluctuation pattern “THP003”, refer to FIG. 29), it is a success indicating that the jackpot is won after the effect of FIG. 30 (B) As an effect (winning effect), a success image (including an image that the heroine is delighted and a background image for success G80 are shown) indicating that the heroine is pleased is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 "Zoro eyes" suggesting a jackpot win is provisionally displayed as a stop (Fig. 30 (C)). Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are fixedly stopped and displayed with "Zoro eyes" (FIG. 30) (D)). The success image shown in FIG. 30C is an image that means a story in which the main character and the heroine meet.

  On the other hand, if it is a story reach performed based on the story reach loss change (special figure change pattern “THP013”, refer to FIG. 29), a failure effect that suggests that it is a loss after the effect of FIG. As a loss effect), a failure image (including an image that the heroine is sad and a background image for failure G81 are displayed) indicating that the heroine is sad is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are lost A temporary stop is displayed at "reach loser eyes" which suggests "(30) (E)". Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed with "reach lost eyes" (Fig. 30). (F)). The failure image shown in FIG. 30E is an image that means a story in which the main character can not meet the heroine.

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

<Battle reach>
Next, a specific example of battle reach will be described. As shown in FIG. 31, in the battle reach, first, an image or the like indicating that the main character and the enemy character are to battle is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 31A). Then, an image showing that the main character and the enemy character are attacking and preventing is displayed on the display unit 50a (not shown), and an image showing that the main character attacks the enemy character before the critical branch. Is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 31 (B)).

  If the battle reach is executed based on the battle reach jackpot fluctuation (special figure fluctuation pattern “THP002”, see FIG. 29), it is a success indicating that the jackpot is won after the effect of FIG. 31 (B). As an effect (winning effect), a winning image (including an image that the main character is pleased with and a background image for success G80) indicating that the main character has won the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect pattern EZ1 , EZ2 and EZ3 are displayed as a temporary stop at "Zoro eyes" indicating a jackpot win (Fig. 31 (C)). Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are fixedly stopped and displayed with "Zoro eyes" (FIG. 31) (D)).

  On the other hand, if the battle reach is executed based on the battle reach loss change (special figure change pattern “THP012”, see FIG. 29), a failure effect (less than the effect shown in FIG. 31 (B)) As a loss effect), a defeat image (including an image in which the main character is sad and a background image for failure G81) indicating that the main character defeats the enemy character counter and is defeated is displayed on the display unit 50a and The symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are displayed temporarily as "reach lost eyes" indicating loss (FIG. 31 (E)). Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are fixedly stopped and displayed with "reach lost eyes" (FIG. 31) (F)).

<Mutual Reach>
Next, a concrete example of the common rival reach will be described. In the common battle reach, an image indicating that the main character and the enemy character are to play a match is displayed on the display unit 50a (not shown), and then, as shown in FIG. An image is displayed on the display unit 50a indicating that the unit has appeared as a reinforcement. Thereafter, an image in which the main character and the ally character cooperate to battle against the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a (not shown), and it is further shown that both the main character and the ally character attack the enemy character. An image is displayed on the display unit 50a (FIG. 32 (B)).

  If it is a cofight reach performed based on a coward reach jackpot fluctuation (special figure fluctuation pattern “THP001”, see FIG. 29), it is a success that suggests that a jackpot has been won after the effect of FIG. 32 (B) As an effect (winning effect), a winning image (including an image that the main character is pleased with and a background image for success G80) indicating that the main character has won the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect pattern EZ1 , EZ2 and EZ3 are displayed as a temporary stop at "Zoro eyes" indicating the jackpot winning (Fig. 32 (C)). Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed with "Zoro eyes" (Fig. 32). (D)).

  On the other hand, if it is a co-op reach performed based on the co-op reach loss fluctuation (special figure fluctuation pattern “THP011”, refer to FIG. 29), it is a failure production ( As a loss effect), a defeat image (including an image in which the main character is sad and a background image for failure G81) indicating that the main character defeats the enemy character counter and is defeated is displayed on the display unit 50a and The symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are temporarily stopped at "reach lost eyes" indicating a loss (FIG. 32 (E)). Then, the background image of the display unit 50a returns to the background image for normal use G102 for daytime, and the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are stopped and displayed with "reach lost eyes" (Fig. 32) (F)).

8. Effects of the Embodiment As described above in detail, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the disc advance notice including the reproduction time display G60 may be executed at a special advance speed higher than the normal advance speed. (Refer FIG. 34, FIG. 42). That is, the progressing speed of the disk advance presentation effect including the reproduction time display G60 changes. Therefore, it looks novel and can improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, when the disc advance notice effect is executed in the special advance mode (fast-forwarding) where the advance speed is fast, the disc advance notice effect is executed in the normal advance mode (normal play) Close to the end earlier than in the case. Therefore, it is easy to give expectation to the development of the SP reach such as the battle reach when the disc advance notice effect is executed until the end, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the disc advance notice effect is executed in the special advancing mode (fast-forwarding), the updating speed of the reproduction time display G60 also becomes faster. Therefore, it is possible to emphasize the feeling that the disc advance notice effect is approaching the final stage at a speed faster than the normal progress speed, and it is possible to further improve the game interest. In other words, the feeling of fast-forwarding the image stored on the disk in the disk advance presentation effect is emphasized, and the game interest can be further improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the disc advance notice effect is executed beyond a predetermined timing (the timing of the reproduction time display G60 being "00:19"), the disc advance notice effect is executed until the last stage Is determined (see FIGS. 33 and 34). Then, when the disc advance notice effect is executed in the special advancing mode (fast-forwarding) from the timing before this timing (timing that the playback time display G60 is "00:15"), "00:19 with the advancing mode as it is. It is supposed to exceed the Therefore, when the progress mode of the disc advance notice effect becomes a special advance mode, it is possible to give a sense of security to the disc advance notice effect being executed until the final stage, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the jackpot expectation degree is greater in the case where the disc advance notice effect is executed in the special progression mode (fast forward) than in the case where it is not executed in the special progression mode (fast forward). A relatively high SP reach is easily performed (see FIG. 37). Therefore, when the disc advance notice effect is executed in the special progress mode (fast forward), it is possible to expect the jackpot to be won, so the player's interest in whether or not the disc advance notice effect is executed in the fast forward It is possible to enhance and to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, a predetermined effect (a effect of displaying a knight with a whistle on the display unit 50a, see FIG. 40C) is executed at the end of the disc advance effect, and the disc advance effect is performed. As an SP reach following the stage, various effects (various SP reach for causing a knight with a whistle to appear, see FIGS. 30 to 32) are executed. Therefore, the significance of the disk advance production to the final stage by fast-forwarding is enhanced, and the amusement interest is further enhanced.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the disc advance notice effect does not end even when the reproduction time display G60 becomes the specific mode (00:59), and the reproduction time display G60 becomes the special mode (01:09) Disc preview effects may be advanced (see FIG. 34). Therefore, when the reproduction time display G60 is in the specific mode, it is possible to give a surprise to the player who thinks that the disc advance notice effect is finished and develops into the SP reach, and the fun of the game is improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the reproduction time display G60 is a special aspect rather than the SP reach (battle reach or story reach) which is executed by progressing the reproduction time display G60 to the specific aspect (00:59). The SP reach (co-fight reach), which is advanced to (01:09), has a higher jackpot expectation. Therefore, when the reproduction time display G60 has progressed to the special mode (01:09), it is possible for the player to have a strong sense of anticipation for a big hit and to improve the game interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the reproduction time display G60 has a special aspect (01: 01) when the progressing speed of the reproduction time display G60 changes to the special advance speed (fast forward) than when it does not change. Proceeding to 09), it is easy to carry out a common reach (see FIG. 37). That is, whether or not the advancing speed of the reproduction time display G60 changes to the special advancing speed indicates whether the reproduction time display G60 is advanced to the special mode (01:09). Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to the change of the advancing speed of the reproduction time display G60, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

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

  In the above embodiment, the disc preview effect is not finished until the end of the disc, but it is finished by the end of the disc, but the composition is finished by the last part of the disc or by the first part of the disc For example, the end timing in the case of ending on the way without executing the disc advance presentation effect to the end, such as the configuration to be performed, can be appropriately changed.

  In the above embodiment, the reproduction time display G60 is performed in the disc advance notice effect, but the reproduction time display G60 may not be performed. In addition, although the progress display progressing according to the passage of time is set as the reproduction time display G60 progressing according to the progress of the disc advance notice effect, the progress indication progressing regardless of the progress of the disc advance notice effect (for example, 30 seconds Or the like may be displayed as a timer for measuring a predetermined time such as. That is, the progress display may be an effect independent of the effect (main effect) that is mainly performed by the display unit 50a while the progress display is being performed.

  In the above embodiment, when the disc advance notice effect is executed at the special advance speed (fast forward), the reproduction time display G60 is also updated at the special advance speed (fast forward), but the disc advance notice effect is executed at the special advance speed Even in the case where the playback time display G60 is updated at the normal progressing speed, or the disc advance notice effect is not executed at the special progressing speed (that is, as it is performed at the normal progressing speed) It may be configured to be updated.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the disc advance notice effect is configured to be determined to be executed until the final stage when the predetermined timing (the timing when the reproduction time display G60 is "00:19") is exceeded. On the other hand, if the disc advance notice effect is highly likely to be executed until the final stage if the predetermined timing (the timing of the reproduction time display G60 is "00: 19") is exceeded, the predetermined timing is exceeded. Also, it may not be executed until the end of the game.

  In the above embodiment, as the timing at which the disc advance notice effect is changed from the normal progression mode (normal reproduction) to the special progression mode (fast-forwarding), the timing (reproduction time display G60) earlier than the timing at which it is determined that However, the timing may be provided later than the timing at which it is determined that the final stage is to be executed.

  In the above embodiment, the progress mode of the disc advance notice effect is returned from the special progress mode to the normal progress mode at a specific timing (the timing when the reproduction time display G60 becomes "00: 52"). The disc advance notice effect may be executed until the end without returning. Further, the timing of returning from the special progress mode to the normal progress mode can be appropriately changed within a range that does not affect the game. However, it is desirable that this timing is after timing at which it is known that the disk advance presentation effect is executed at least until the final stage (timing at which the reproduction time display G60 becomes "00:20").

  In the above embodiment, the reproduction time display G60 is performed as a suggestion display indicating how far the disc advance presentation effect has progressed, but the indication display is not limited to the one for displaying the time, and a meter or the like having a plurality of graduations It may be another display capable of expressing the progress status such as a progress bar.

  In the above embodiment, the disc preview effect is provided as a suggestion effect that suggests that the disc advance notice effect is to be executed until the end of the disc (a suggestion effect that indicates that the reproduction time display G60 is advanced to the specific mode (00:59)). The configuration is such that fast-forwarding (fast-forwarding of playback time display G60) is performed. However, the content of the effect of the suggested effect is not limited to fast forward, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, in addition to the effect of advancing the disc advance notice effect and the reproduction time display G60 in n-times speed reproduction (where n> 1), the effect of advancing in slow reproduction (for example, 0.8 speed) It may be an effect to be caused, an effect to rewind, an effect to skip a predetermined effect section, or the like. In addition, it does not relate to the advance mode of the disc advance notice effect or the reproduction time display G60, but may be an effect for displaying a specific image such as a predetermined character or item.

  In the above embodiment, the special advancing speed of the reproduction time display G60 is set to the advancing speed higher than the normal advancing speed, but may be set to a speed lower than the normal advancing speed. In addition, while progressing at a normal progressing speed, a progressing pattern to be paused may be provided, a progressing pattern may be provided to return to a predetermined time to resume the progress, or a progressing pattern may be provided to skip a predetermined section. These traveling patterns may be used as special traveling speeds.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the selection ratio in the drawing of the disc rotation effect (FIG. 35), the drawing of the disk advance effect (FIG. 36), and the drawing of the progress mode of the disk advance effect (FIG. 37) depends on the role of various effects. And can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the contents of the effects of the disc turning effect and the disc advance effect can be changed as appropriate as long as the game is not disturbed. In addition, the contents of the effects of various SP reach (joint battle reach, battle reach, story reach) can be appropriately changed within the range that does not affect the game. In addition, the types of effects that can be performed can be appropriately increased or decreased as long as the game is not disturbed. For example, a disc turning effect may not be performed. Also, even if the types of SP reach that can be executed following the normal pattern disc turning effect are three or more types, and the types of SP reach that can be executed subsequently to the special pattern disc turning effect are also two or more types. Good. In addition, a predetermined mode ("00: 19" in the above mode), a specific mode ("00: 59" in the above mode), a special mode (in the above mode) of the reproduction time display G60 (progressive display, suggestion display) in the disc advance notice effect "01:09" can be changed as appropriate.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a specific motif (knight with a whistle) is displayed at the end of the disc advance presentation (first presentation), and the specific motif is displayed also in the subsequent reach presentation (second presentation) However, there may not be such relevance in the contents of the disc advance presentation and the reach presentation. However, if a specific motif is made to appear at the end of the disc preview effect and the reach effect that causes the specific motif to appear when the disc advance effect is executed until the end phase, the player is connected with both effects. It becomes possible to make it feel, and it becomes possible to enhance the significance of making the final stage of the disc advance notice effect appear earlier by fast forward.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the co-op reach is always executed when the disc advance presentation effect is executed up to the extended part (FIG. 33), the co-up reach is easily executed as compared to the battle reach or the story reach However, battle reach and story reach may be performed. Also, in the above embodiment, although the co-game reach is not performed when the disc advance production is finished in the final stage, the co-game reach is performed although it is difficult to execute the co-game reach as compared to the battle reach or the story reach. It may be a configuration that may be known.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, different SP reach is performed depending on whether the disc advance notice effect has been executed up to the extended part and the disc finished in the final stage. On the other hand, the same SP reach is performed depending on whether the disc preview effect is executed up to the extended part or the end of the late stage, but the jackpot expectation is high up to the extended part. It may be configured to be a case.

  In the above embodiment, the SP reach is always executed when the reproduction time display G60 is advanced to the specific mode (00:59), but the possibility of developing into the SP reach is high. However, it may be a configuration that does not necessarily develop into SP reach. Moreover, when the reproduction time display G60 is not advanced to the specific mode (00:59), the SP reach is not necessarily executed, but even if the reproduction time display G60 is not advanced to the specific mode ( That is, even when the disc advance presentation is ended in the early stage), it may be configured to develop into the SP reach although the possibility of developing into the SP reach is lower than when progressing to the specific mode.

  Also, in the above embodiment, the degree of expectation that the reproduction time display G60 is advanced at the special advance speed (fast-forward) is advanced to the special mode (01:09) as compared to the case where the reproduction time display G60 is not advanced at the special advance speed. (The degree of expectation that the disc advance presentation effect is executed until extension) is high. On the other hand, the configuration in which the reproduction time display G60 is advanced at the special advancing speed has a lower expectation than the special aspect (01:09) than in the case where it is not advanced at the special advancing speed. It may be

  In the above embodiment, the first start port 11 (fixed start port) in which the ease of entering the game ball does not change and the second start port 12 (variable start port) in which the ease of entering the game ball can be changed Although the starting opening which concerns on electric chow 12D was provided, you may provide only any one.

  In the above embodiment, the special figure 2 determination process is performed preferentially to the special figure 1 determination process (the variation display of the special figure 2 is preferentially performed over the variation display of the special figure 1). The special figure 1 determination process may be performed preferentially to the special figure 2 determination process (the variation display of the special figure 1 may be performed preferentially to the variation display of the special figure 2). In this case, the special figure 1 lottery may be a lottery which is more likely to win a jackpot which is more advantageous than the special figure 2 lottery.

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

  In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko game machine, but it is also possible to apply to other ball game machines such as an arrange ball machine and a ball game machine.

  Further, in the above embodiment, variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is carried out substantially in synchronization with the special view variable display, but instead of having three symbols like the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3, 2 It may be configured with one symbol other than three, such as one. For example, two symbols divided by the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 may be provided. In addition, one symbol may be provided common to the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. In these cases, display may be performed by the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, and the sub control board 120 may perform the control. Further, in the area other than the game area 6 of the game board 1, an LED device for displaying a symbol may be provided. In this case, control of the LED device may be performed on the main control board 100 or the sub control board 120.

  In the above embodiment, the main control board 100 performs basic control related to the progress of the game, and the sub control board 120 performs basic control related to the progress of the effect according to the progress of the game (control of the game) As described above, the game control and the effect control are performed on different substrates, but may be performed on one substrate. In this case, the image control substrate 140 may be included in the one substrate or may be provided separately from the one substrate.

  In addition, all the jackpot gaming states do not have to correspond to the "special gaming state advantageous to the player". For example, a jackpot gaming state scheduled to be controlled to a high probability state thereafter corresponds to the "special gaming state advantageous to the player", or a jackpot capable of acquiring a relatively large number of prize balls such as the real 16R. The game state may correspond to the "special game state advantageous to the player". Further, the "special game state advantageous to the player" may not be a jackpot game state, but may be a high probability state or may be a high base state (time reduction state). When making "special game state advantageous to the player" into high probability state or high base state (time reduction state), various effects which are expected to be in the special game state are during the variation display of the special symbol Not only the rendition of the rendition but also the rendition in the big hit game, the rendition to be performed at other timing may be.
