Operate to the state.

  In this embodiment, for the first start opening 12, the second start opening 13, the special winning opening 14 and the normal winning openings 15a and 15b described above, the payout conditions for the winning balls are satisfied by the entry of the game balls in any winning openings. It is a winning opening. In this embodiment, the number of winning balls of the first starting opening 12 is [4 balls], the number of winning balls of the second starting opening 13 is [1 ball], and the number of winning balls of the large winning opening 14 is [15 balls]. The number of winning balls in the normal winning openings 15a and 15b is set to [5 balls]. The first starting opening 12, the second starting opening 13, the special winning opening 14 and the normal winning openings 15a and 15b are ball entry devices that are targeted for payout of a winning ball by entering the gaming ball, and the pachinko gaming machine 10 A plurality of ball entry devices are provided. The special winning opening 14 is a special ball entry device in which the game ball is allowed to enter during the big hit game, and the normal winning openings 15a and 15b are always allowed to enter the game ball while playing the game. It is a normal ball entry device in which only the payout condition of the winning balls is satisfied by the ball entry. On the other hand, the operation gate 18 is not a ball entry device that is a target of the payout ball payout due to the entry of the game ball, and even if the gaming ball enters the ball, the payout condition of the prize ball is not satisfied.

  In this embodiment, the player adjusts the strength of the launch strength of the launch handle HD to strike the gaming ball in the left area and the right area, and the first starting opening 12 and the second starting opening 13 It becomes possible to enter the game ball into the special winning opening 14, the normal winning opening 15a, 15b or the operation gate 18. Specifically, when the game ball is fired by adjusting the firing strength to a high degree (so-called right-handed), the game ball is easily flow-guided to the right area, and the second start opening 13 and the special winning opening 14, There is a possibility of entering the normal winning opening 15b or the operation gate 18. In addition, since it is necessary to cause the game ball to shoot vigorously in order to reach the area to the right, the right hitting is performed by adjusting the firing strength to a maximum strength or a strength slightly weaker than the maximum strength.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is fired by adjusting the firing intensity to be weak (so-called, left strike), the game ball is easily guided down to the left area, and enters the first start opening 12 or the normal winning opening 15a. There is a possibility of the ball. In addition, since it is not necessary to cause the game ball to fire as vigorously as in the case of the right hit, the left hit is performed by adjusting the strength such that the launched game ball does not reach the area on the right. In this embodiment, when the right strike is performed, the flow path of the game ball is formed by game parts such as game nails so that the game ball can not enter the first starting opening 12 and the normal winning opening 15a. . It should be noted that the game parts may be arranged to restrict entry to the first starting opening 12 and the normal winning opening 15a when the player strikes the right, compared to when the player strikes the left. It may be arranged so that it is difficult to enter the starting opening 12 and the normal winning opening 15a (the probability of entering the ball is extremely low).

  In this embodiment, the “left area” is an area located on the left side of a center line C that bisects the gaming area YBa horizontally when the gaming board YB is viewed from the front. Further, in this embodiment, the “right side area” is an area located on the right side of the center line C when the game board YB is viewed from the front. The gaming ball fired by the operation of the firing handle HD in the pachinko gaming machine 10 is guided by the launching passage 19 located on the left side when the gaming board YB is viewed from the front, and the reverse return prevention located downstream of the launching passage 19 It passes through the valve 20 to reach the game area YBa. For this reason, the “left region” is also a region closer to the launch passage 19, and conversely the “right region” is a region away from the launch passage 19. Then, the gaming ball which is flow-guided to the area on the left passes the left side of the effect display device 11 located in the game area YBa, and goes to the out port 22 located at the lowermost position of the game area YBa. In addition, the gaming ball to be flow-guided in the right area passes through the right side of the effect display device 11 located in the game area YBa and goes to the out port 22.

  Further, on the game board YB, special symbol display devices 23a and 23b, hold display devices 24a and 24b, and a normal symbol display device 25 shown in FIG. 3 are disposed. These display devices are located at a portion of the game board YB that can be viewed by the player when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front. For example, these display devices are disposed on a decoration member disposed in the game area of the game board YB, a corner decoration member of the game board YB, or the like.

  The special symbol display devices 23a and 23b play a symbol variation game using a special symbol, and in the symbol variation game, a special symbol according to the lottery result of the big hit lottery is derived. The special symbol display device 23a is a display device for performing a symbol variation game of a first special symbol, and the special symbol display device 23b is a display device for performing a symbol variation game of a second special symbol. When the game ball enters the first starting opening 12 and is detected, the starting condition of the symbol variation game of the first special symbol is established. On the other hand, when the game ball enters the second start hole 13 and is detected, the start condition of the symbol variation game of the second special symbol is established. In the first special symbol and the second special symbol, a big hit lottery is performed triggered by the establishment of the start condition, but the probability of winning the big hit lottery is the same probability. In the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the degree of advantage when winning the big hit lottery by changing the type of big hit determined when winning the big hit lottery and the determination ratio of the same type of big hit (( For example, some of the winning balls, the provision period of the improvement in the pitch rate, and the like may be made different.

  When the start condition is satisfied, the special symbol display game is executed by the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b to derive the lottery result of the big hit lottery, and the symbol change game is derived in the symbol fluctuation game A symbol variation game for deriving a result according to a special symbol is also performed in the effect display device 11 using the effect symbol.

  The special symbol display devices 23a and 23b are display devices provided with light emitters. In the special symbol pattern variation game, a combination of light emitters constituting the display device is derived as a special symbol. The special symbols include a big hit symbol derived when winning a big hit lottery and an out symbol derived when not winning a big hit lottery.

  On the other hand, in the effect display device 11, an effect pattern is derived which makes it possible to recognize the result of the symbol variation game by a combination of a plurality of identification information (in the embodiment, three rows of identification information). In this embodiment, the identification information constituting the combination of the rendering symbols is constituted by a design imitating Arabic numerals. Specifically, the identification information of each column is an Arabic numeral of [1] to [9]. Thereby, for example, the combination of rendering symbols is the combination such as [111] in which the identification information of all the rows is the same, or the combination of the identification information in all the rows is not the same [479], [337], [121], etc. become. And, the result of the symbol fluctuation game of the production symbol corresponds to the result of the symbol fluctuation game of the special symbol. Therefore, when a big hit symbol is derived in the symbol variation game of the special symbol, in the symbol variation game of the production symbol, a combination in which the identification information of all the rows is the same identification information is derived, and the big hit can be recognized. On the other hand, when a misplaced symbol is derived in the symbol variation game of the special symbol, in the symbol variation game of the produced symbol, a combination in which the identification information of all the rows does not become the same identification information is derived, and the off can be recognized. In addition, the symbol variation game of the first special symbol and the symbol variation game of the second special symbol are not executed at the same time, and in the effect display device 11, the symbol variation game of the effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol being executed is played.

  The hold display device 24a is a display device for displaying the number of symbol variation games (the number of start hold) of the first special symbol for which execution is suspended, and the hold display device 24b is for the second special symbol for which execution is suspended. It is a display device that displays the number of symbol variation games (the number of start reservations). The normal symbol display device 25 performs an ordinary symbol variation game using an ordinary symbol, and in the ordinary symbol variation game, an ordinary symbol according to the lottery result of the lottery of the ordinary symbol is derived in the ordinary symbol fluctuation game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with an operation button BT which can be operated by the player. In this embodiment, the operation button BT is disposed on the upper surface of the storage tray 21 that stores gaming balls. The operation button BT is a push button type. The operation button BT of this embodiment has one operation unit. The operation unit is a portion where the player performs a pressing operation.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a probability variation function. The probability fluctuation function is a function capable of giving a probability fluctuation state (hereinafter referred to as a “probable state”) to fluctuate the winning probability of the big hit lottery from low probability (normal probability) to high probability after the end of the big hit game . The definite change state is easier to win the big hit drawing than the non-probable fluctuation state (hereinafter referred to as "non-probable change state") in which the winning probability of the big hit drawing is low, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player . The definite change state is given, for example, until the jackpot lottery is won next time.

  Moreover, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a ball entry rate improving function. The ball filling rate improving function is a function capable of providing a ball entering rate improving state in which the ball entering rate of gaming balls per unit time to the second starting opening 13 as a predetermined ball entrance is improved. The ball entry rate improvement state is the so-called "power support state" and "high base state". In addition, in the following description, the state to which the ball-incident rate improvement state is not provided may be shown as a "non-ball-filling rate improvement state". The non-entering rate improvement state is the so-called "non-electric support state" and "low base state".

  The ball entry rate improvement state can be realized, for example, by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the following four controls, or by combining and executing a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol variation time reduction control in which the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is made shorter than in the non-entering rate improvement state. The second control is probability fluctuation control of a regular symbol that changes the probability of winning a regular symbol winning lottery (normal hit probability) to a higher probability than in the non-incident rate improvement state. The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the second starting opening 13 based on winning of a normal symbol winning lottery is made longer than in the non-entering rate improving state. In addition, as opening time extension control, the control which makes the frequency | count of opening of the 2nd starting opening 13 based on having won the lottery of the normal symbol more than the time of a non-entering rate improvement state, and the lottery of the normal symbol It is preferable to execute at least one control of the control for making the one opening time of the second starting opening 13 longer based on the winning of at least one time than the time of the non-ballading rate improvement state. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time reduction control that makes the variation time (for example, the average variation time) of the special symbol variation game shorter than in the non-entering rate improving state. When the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol is executed, the ball entry rate improvement state is a so-called "variation time reduction state".

  The pitch increase improvement state is, for example, the next time until the jackpot lottery is won, or until the symbol change game of the special symbol of the specified upper limit number of times (for example, 100 times) is executed after the ball increase rate improvement state is given, Alternatively, it is granted until the jackpot lottery is won before the specified upper limit number is reached. In this embodiment, the ball entering rate improvement state is an advantageous game which is generated after the end of the big hit game triggered by the winning in the big hit lottery and is more advantageous than the non-ball entering rate state (normal game). Then, the prescribed upper limit number of times of entering the ball pitch state can be a termination condition for terminating the state of entering the ball pitch state when the number of times of execution of the symbol variation game has reached a predetermined number. In addition, winning the big hit lottery during the ball entry improvement state can be an end condition for terminating the ball entry improvement state by obtaining a lottery result that can be a trigger for ending the ball entry improvement state. In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10 using the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the prescribed upper limit number of times is the total number of symbol fluctuation game of the first special symbol and the symbol fluctuation game of the second special symbol.

In addition, various substrates including a main control substrate 30 and a sub control substrate 31 shown in FIG. 3 are mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 10.
The main control board 30 can write and read necessary data, and a main control ROM 30b storing a control program for the main control CPU 30a, which can execute control operations according to a predetermined procedure, and a control program of the main control CPU 30a. And a main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control board 30 has a random number generation circuit 30d.

  The main control CPU 30a receives detection signals of the various sensors SE1, SE2, CS, GS, HS1 and HS2. In addition, the main control CPU 30a controls the display contents of various display devices (special symbol display devices 23a and 23b, hold display devices 24a and 24b, ordinary symbol display device 25 and the like), and operates the actuators AC1 and AC2. Control.

  The information stored in the main control ROM 30b includes a main control program for executing processing relating to a game, information specifying a variation pattern (main variation pattern) of a special symbol, various determination values, and the like. The main variation pattern of the special symbol can specify the variation time (rendering time) between the eyebrows for which the special symbol is determined and stopped after the special symbol starts to be varied. The main variation patterns can be classified into a main variation pattern for the big hit and a main variation pattern for the removal. The jackpot fluctuation based on the main fluctuation pattern for jackpot is an effect performed when a jackpot lottery is won, and in the symbol fluctuation game of the special symbol, a jackpot symbol is finally derived. Out-of-position fluctuation based on the main fluctuation pattern for out-of-plane is an effect performed when a big hit lottery is not won, and in the symbol fluctuation game of a special symbol, an out-of-pattern is finally derived. Note that the out-of-out fluctuation includes a change in which reach effect is performed in the symbol change game of the effect pattern and the out of effect, and a change in which reach effect is not performed in the pattern change game of the effect pattern. Hereinafter, there may be a case in which a reach effect is performed and a change that is an off-set is indicated to indicate a reach change. In addition, the various determination values include a big hit determination value used for a big hit lottery, a normal hit determination value used for a normal symbol lottery, and the like. The main control RAM 30c also stores various information (random number value, timer value, flag, start pending number, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The main control CPU 30a updates the values of various software random numbers every predetermined control cycle (interrupt cycle), and executes random number update processing (software random number generation processing) stored in the main control RAM 30c. The software random numbers include a jackpot symbol random number used when determining a jackpot symbol of a special symbol, a fluctuation pattern distribution random number used when distributing a fluctuation pattern, and the like. The random number generation circuit 30 d generates a hardware random number by updating the value by 1 each cycle of an internal system clock (for example, 10 MHz) supplied from a clock circuit (not shown) mounted on the microprocessor. The hardware random numbers include a big hit random number used for a big hit lottery of a special symbol, a normal hit random number used for a hit lottery of a normal symbol, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the sub control board 31 is electrically connected to the main control board 30 so that control information (control signal) is transmitted from the main control board 30 in one direction. The sub control board 31 can execute the control operation in a predetermined procedure, the sub control ROM 31b storing the control program of the sub control CPU 31a, and the sub capable of writing and reading necessary data. And a control RAM 31c.

  The sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 performs control according to the control information based on the control information (control command) transmitted from the main control board 30. For example, when starting the symbol variation game of the special symbol, the main control CPU 30a, in addition to the control of the display contents of the special symbol display devices 23a and 23b, sub-control information instructing the start of variation (game start) It sends to the control CPU 31a. The sub control CPU 31a that has received the control information controls the display content so as to cause the effect display device 11 to play the symbol variation game of the effect symbol.

When the operation button BT is pressed, the detection unit outputs a detection signal that makes it possible to identify the operation. The detection unit is, for example, a proximity sensor or a contact switch that can output an electric signal. The detection signal is a binary signal consisting of ON / OFF.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a payout control board 32 is mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 10. The payout control board 32 is connected to the main control board 30. The main control board 30 and the payout control board 32 are electrically connected to transmit information (control signal) in both directions. The payout control board 32 drives the ball payout device 33 based on the payout information instructing the payout of the prize balls transmitted from the main control substrate 30, and pays out a predetermined number of the prize balls.

  The payout designation command (dispense signal) as payout information transmitted from the main control board 30 to the payout control board 32 enters the winning opening targeted for the prize ball payout, and thus the winning ball corresponding to the winning opening It is configured to be able to identify the number. For example, the payout designation command when entering the first starting opening 12 is configured to be able to specify [4 balls] as the number of winning balls. In addition, for example, when managing the total number of winning balls obtained by adding the number of winning balls to be paid out in the main control board 30, the payout designation command is configured to instruct the payout of one winning ball, and the necessary number of times is required. A payout designation command may be sent to the payout control board 32 for instructing the payout of one winning ball for a minute (until the total number of winning balls becomes zero). The payout designation command is composed of 2-byte data, and it is data indicating that one of the first byte data and the second byte data instructs payout of the winning balls, and the other is the number of winning balls Is data indicative of

Hereinafter, processing (normal processing) performed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 to control the game will be described.
First, processing (reception processing (input processing)) related to reception of a detection signal of a game ball from various sensors SE1, SE2, CS, GS, HS1, and HS2 will be described.

  When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the start sensor SE1 by entering the ball into the first start port 12, the start pending number of the first special symbol is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) Determine if there is. Then, when the start pending number of the first special symbol is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the start pending number and rewrites it, and also displays the start pending number after addition to be displayed. Control.

  Further, when the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the start sensor SE2 by entering the second start port 13, the number of start pending reservations of the second special symbol is the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) Determine if it is less than. Then, when the start pending number of the second special symbol is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the start pending number and rewrites it, and displays the start pending number after addition to be displayed on the hold display device 24b. Control.

  The main control CPU 30a does not add the start pending number when the start pending number has reached the upper limit number. On the other hand, when the start pending number is added, the main control CPU 30a transmits information (such as a hold designation command) that can specify the start pending number after addition to the sub control board 31. The sub control CPU 31a that has received the information that can specify the start pending number causes the effect display device 11 to display an image indicating the start pending number that can be identified from the information. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a hold / counting means for counting the game balls entering the starting opening (the first starting opening 12 or the second starting opening 13) during execution of the symbol variation game as starting hold. . Further, in this embodiment, the main control RAM 30c functions as a hold storage means for storing the number of start hold cases counted by the main control CPU 30a which is a hold counting means.

  In addition, when the game ball enters the ball by less than the upper limit number of the start pending number, the main control CPU 30a can acquire the values of various random numbers triggered by the ball entry and can specify the acquired values of various random numbers. The random number information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The random number information may be configured by the value of the random number, or may be configured by information obtained by converting the value of the random number into other information that can specify the value. Further, when storing the random number information, the main control CPU 30a enters the ball entry sequence (information storage sequence) of the gaming ball that triggered the acquisition of the value of the random number and the ball entry sequence of the game ball entered earlier. The main control RAM 30 c is stored so that (information storage order) can be specified. When acquiring the value of the random number, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the big hit random number from the random number generation circuit 30d, and obtains the value of the big hit symbol random number and the value of the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 30 c. .

  Further, in the processing when the detection signal from the gate sensor GS is received, the main control CPU 30a performs processing of storing the number of normal reservations (the number of popular games) and processing of acquiring various random numbers used for regular hit lottery and the like. I do. The upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) is determined similarly to the number of start reservations for the first special symbol and the second special symbol for the ordinary number of reservations. For this reason, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the normal holding number and rewrites it when the normal holding number is less than the upper limit number, and rewrites the normal holding number after addition so as to display the normal holding number. Control.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a performs an award ball process for paying out a predetermined number of award balls in the input process when the detection signals from the start sensors SE1, SE2, the normal sensors HS1, HS2, and the count sensor CS are received. Do. In the prize ball processing, a payout designation command (dispense signal) to be sent to the payout control board 32 is generated and sent, and a prize ball designation command (prize ball designation as prize ball information to be sent to the sub control board 31) And (b) generating and transmitting a signal). In the process of transmitting the prize ball specification command, the main control CPU 30a goes to the winning opening (first start opening 12, second starting opening 13, large winning opening 14, ordinary winning openings 15a, 15b) which is the target of the award ball payout. Every time the entry of the game ball is detected, a prize ball designation command corresponding to the winning opening where the entry occurs is generated and transmitted.

  The winning ball specification command is configured to be able to specify a winning opening to be paid out and a number of winning balls to be paid out by entering the winning opening. For this reason, the winning balls designating command is set for each type of winning opening. Specifically, the prize ball designation command of the first start opening 12 is [A5H04H], the prize ball designation command of the second start opening 13 is [A6H01H], and the prize ball of the left regular prize hole 15a is designated. The designated command is [A7H05H]. In addition, the award ball specification command of the normal winning opening 15b on the right is [A8H05H], and the award ball specification command of the special winning opening 14 is [A9H0FH]. In this embodiment, each award ball specifying command is composed of 2-byte data, and the first byte data (upper data) is data indicating a ball entry device (prize opening) to be an object of award ball payout. The second byte data (lower byte) is data indicating the number of winning balls.

  Next, a process (special figure change process) related to the execution of a symbol change game of a special symbol for deriving a lottery result of a big hit lottery will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes the special figure fluctuation process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms).

  In the special figure change processing, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the start condition of the symbol change game of the special symbol is satisfied. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition is satisfied when the special symbol pattern variation game is not being executed and the big hit is not in progress, while the special symbol symbol variation game is being executed, Or when it is in the big hit game, it decides that start condition is not satisfied. Then, when the start condition is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure change processing.

  When the above-described start condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a reads out the start pending number of the second special symbol, and determines whether the read start pending number is greater than zero. Then, when the start pending number of the second special symbol is larger than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process so as to start the symbol variation game of the second special symbol. On the other hand, when the start pending number of the second special symbol is zero, the main control CPU 30a reads the start pending number of the first special symbol, and determines whether the read start pending number is greater than zero. Then, when the start pending number of the first special symbol is larger than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process so as to start the symbol variation game of the first special symbol. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment does not execute the symbol variation game of the first special symbol and the symbol variation game of the second special symbol at the same time, but with a specification that causes the symbol variation game of the second special symbol to be preferentially executed. is there.

  In addition, when both the number of start pendings of the first special symbol and the number of start pendings of the second special symbol are zero, the main control CPU 30a executes a demonstration effect (hereinafter referred to as “demonstration effect”) Do the processing. The demonstration effect is an effect for notifying that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a standby state by using a device such as the effect display device 11, for example, to obtain a customer gathering effect.

  When starting the symbol variation game of the second special symbol, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the start pending number of the second special symbol and rewrites it, and the pending display device 24b is displayed to display the start pending number after subtraction. Control. When the main control CPU 30 a subtracts the start pending number, the main control CPU 30 a transmits information (such as a hold specification command) that can specify the start pending number after the subtraction to the sub control board 31.

Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information among the random number information stored in the main control RAM 30c.
The main control CPU 30a that has acquired the random number information compares the value of the big hit random number with the big hit determination value, and performs a big hit lottery. In the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the big hit lottery time (that is, the special figure fluctuation process is executed) is a definite variation state or a non-probability variation state based on the information that can specify the gaming state. Based on the determination result, the big hit lottery is performed with different winning probability.

  In the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 30 a determines whether the value of the big hit random number acquired from the main control RAM 30 c matches the big hit determination value. Then, when the value of the jackpot random number and the jackpot determination value match, a jackpot lottery is won. When the jackpot lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit symbol of the special symbol based on the value of the big hit symbol random number specified from the acquired random number information. This determined jackpot symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the symbol variation game of the special symbol. In addition, the jackpot symbol of the special symbol is associated with the type of jackpot. Thus, determining the jackpot symbol will determine the type of jackpot. The type of jackpot in this embodiment will be described later. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a jackpot type determination unit that determines the type of the jackpot when the jackpot lottery is won.

  Also, the main control CPU 30a determines a main variation pattern from among the main variation patterns for the big hit that can be selected when the big hit is won, based on the value of the variation pattern apportionment random number specified from the acquired random number information. . At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines a main variation pattern from among the main variation patterns that can be selected based on information that can specify the gaming state. The types of main variation patterns that can be selected according to the game state in this embodiment will be described later.

  When the main control CPU 30a does not win the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs the outlier process. In the removal process, the main control CPU 30a determines the removal symbol of the special symbol. This determined out-of-design symbol becomes the fixed stop symbol derived in the symbol variation game of the special symbol. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a main fluctuation pattern for disconnection based on the value of the fluctuation pattern apportionment random number specified from the acquired random number information. When determining the main fluctuation pattern for losing, the main control CPU 30a determines either the main fluctuation pattern with reach or the main fluctuation pattern without reach. At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines the main variation pattern from the main variation patterns that can be selected based on the information that can specify the gaming state, as described above.

  In addition, when starting the symbol variation game of the first special symbol, the main control CPU 30a performs the same control as the control of the second special symbol described above, targeting the first special symbol. That is, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit process or an off process based on the result of subtraction of the start reserve number of the first special symbol, the big hit lottery, and the big hit lottery.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a is control information for instructing the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 to control the game effect based on the result of the processing described above as the processing related to the execution of the symbol variation game of the special symbol Processing to generate a control command). Various control information generated in the processing is transmitted to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing by command transmission processing performed by the main control CPU 30a.

  When starting the symbol variation game of the special symbol, the main control CPU 30a generates, as control information, a variation start command (variation start information) which can specify that the symbol variation game is to be started. The change start command also includes information that can specify a change pattern determined in the above-described big hit process or the release process. Further, when starting the symbol variation game of the special symbol, the main control CPU 30a generates a special figure command (special figure information) capable of specifying the special symbol as control information. Since the big hit symbol of the special symbol corresponds to the type of the big hit, the type of the big hit can be specified by the special image information. For this reason, the special drawing command is also information that can identify pass / fail, and is also information that can identify the type of jackpot.

  In addition, when the elapsed time from the start of the symbol variation game of the special symbol reaches the predetermined variation time (the time defined in the main variation pattern), the main control CPU 30a performs the symbol of the special symbol as control information. A change stop command (change end information) that can specify that the change game is ended is generated. In addition, when starting the symbol variation game of the special symbol, the main control CPU 30a causes the display contents of the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b to start the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Along with control, start measuring fluctuation time. Then, the main control CPU 30a displays the display content of the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b so as to derive the determined special symbol when the fluctuation time defined in the determined main fluctuation pattern elapses. Control.

Here, according to FIG. 4, the type of jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a special symbol ZA, a special symbol ZB, and a special symbol ZC as a big hit symbol of the first special symbol. Moreover, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a special symbol Za, a special symbol Zb, and a special symbol Zc as a big hit symbol of the second special symbol.

The big hit games of the special symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc are each composed of 16 rounds (16R) of round games.
In the big hit game of the special symbol ZA, Za, 16 (times) is defined as the number of round games (round number) that can substantially obtain a payout (prize ball) during the big hit game. The round game capable of substantially obtaining the ball is a round game in which the opening time of the big winning opening 14 is opened in a long opening pattern, such as 25 seconds. In addition, the round game in which it is impossible to obtain the balls substantially is a round game in which the opening time of the big winning opening 14 is opened in a short opening pattern, such as 0.4 seconds. The degree of the number of withdrawals obtained during the big hit game corresponds to the degree of the round game in which the withdrawal balls can be substantially obtained. The number of balls obtained may be expressed as the total number of gaming balls (prize balls) paid out by entering the large winning opening 14, or the number obtained by subtracting the number of firings from the total number of gaming balls paid out. It may be expressed as

  On the other hand, in the big hit game of the special symbols ZB and Zb, 4 (times) is defined as the number of round games (round number) which can substantially obtain the balls (winning balls) during the big hit game. That is, the big hit game of the special symbols ZB and Zb is a round game in which four round games are released with a long opening pattern, out of the 16 round games, although the total number of round games is 16 times, It is a round game in which 12 round games are released in a short opening pattern. In the big hit game of the special symbols ZC and Zc, 7 (times) is defined as the number of round games (round number) which can substantially obtain the balls (winning balls) during the big hit game. In other words, the special game ZC, Zc is a round game in which seven round games are released with a long opening pattern, although the total number of round games is 16, but the total number of round games is 16, It is a round game in which nine round games are released in a short opening pattern.

  According to the above configuration, when comparing the big hit games of the special symbols ZA to ZC, Za to Zc, the number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game of the special symbols ZA, Za is the big hit of the special symbols ZB, ZC, Zb, Zc The theoretical value is larger than the number of winning balls obtained in the game. Also, when comparing the big hit games of the special symbols ZB, ZC, Zb, Zc, the number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game of the special symbols ZC, Zc is more theoretical than the number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game of the special symbols ZB, Zb. There are many values. Therefore, in terms of the number of winning balls in the big hit game, the big hit of the special symbol ZA, Za has a higher advantage than the big hit of the special symbol ZB, ZC, Zb, Zc, and the big hit of the special symbol ZC, Zc The degree of advantage is high compared to the big hit of the special symbols ZB and Zb.

  In addition, the big hit of the special symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb is a big hit that gives a high ball entry state where the probability of winning the big hit lottery after the end of the big hit game is high and the specified upper limit is 10000 times. is there. On the other hand, the big hit of the special symbol ZC, Zc is a big hit that gives a high ball entry state with an increase in the probability of winning the big hit lottery after the end of the big hit game and the prescribed upper limit frequency of 100 times.

  According to the above configuration, when the big symbols of the special symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc are compared, the conditions for imparting the probability change state and the ball convergence rate improvement state in the special symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb are the special symbol ZC, It is superior to the conditions of provision of the state of probability change in Zc and the state of improvement in the rate of ball entry. For this reason, the big hit of the special symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb has a high advantage in terms of the condition of provision of the state of probability change and the state of improved ball entry rate compared to the big hit of the special symbols ZC, Zc.

  As described above, from the point of view of the number of winning balls and the condition of giving the probability change state and the ball entry rate improvement state, among the big hits of the special symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc in this embodiment, the big hits of the special symbols ZA and Za. Is the most advantageous. That is, in this embodiment, the type of the big hit can be distinguished by the degree of advantage as described above, and the big hit of the special symbol ZA, Za having the highest degree of advantage among the plurality of types of big hits corresponds to a specific big hit.

  The winning probability of the special symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc by the lottery using the jackpot symbol random number when the jackpot lottery is won is set to a predetermined probability. The winning probability of the special symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc is defined by the number of values that can be taken by the big hit symbols distributed as values to win each special symbol. FIG. 4 exemplifies the distribution of possible numerical values of the jackpot symbols for the special symbols ZA to ZC and Za to Zc. Specifically, when the number that can be taken of the jackpot symbol random number is 0 to 99 (100 in total), 10 for the special symbol ZA of the first special symbol, 40 for the special symbol ZB, and the special symbol ZC 50 numbers are assigned to. In addition, when the numerical value which can be taken of the big hit design random number is 0-99 (total 100 pieces), it is 35 in the special symbol Za of the 2nd special symbol, 15 in the special symbol Zb, 50 in the special symbol Zc The numbers are assigned. According to such a distribution, a ratio (probability change entry rate) in which the big win lottery of the first special symbol is won and the big hit game will be in a definite change state after the big hit game end and the big win lottery of the second special symbol is won after the big hit game The probability that the probability change state (probability change entry rate) is 50% in all cases, and is the same proportion. And, when the winning probability of the special symbol ZA of the first special symbol and the winning probability of the special symbol Za of the second special symbol are compared, the winning probability of the special symbol Za is high, so the winning symbol of the first special symbol is won It is easier to be able to get the jackpot with the highest degree of advantage when you win the jackpot lottery of the second special symbol than you do.

Next, the types of main fluctuation patterns in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described according to FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d).
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment generates three gaming states by the combination of the non-probability state, the probability state, the non ball entering state, and the ball entering state, depending on the type of jackpot illustrated in FIG. Is possible. Specifically, non-probability state and non-classification rate improvement state (low certain and low base), definite variation state and ball-class improvement state (high certain and high base) and non-probability state and sphere increase It is a state (low certain one high base). And the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with the fluctuation pattern distribution table according to the above-mentioned three game states. The fluctuation pattern allocation table is a set of selectable main fluctuation patterns, and is configured by allocating a predetermined number of numerical values from among numerical values that can be acquired for the fluctuation pattern allocation random number for each fluctuation pattern. That is, the selection rate for each fluctuation pattern is defined by distributing a predetermined number of numerical values for each fluctuation pattern distribution table.

  FIG. 5A is a fluctuation pattern distribution table for low probability and low base which is referred to when selecting the main fluctuation pattern at low certainty and low base. In the fluctuation pattern distribution table for low probability and low base, main fluctuation patterns PA1 and PA2 of out-of-out fluctuation, main fluctuation patterns PA3 and PA4 of out-of-reach reach fluctuation, and main fluctuation of big hit fluctuation as selectable main fluctuation patterns A plurality of main variation patterns including patterns PA5 and PA6 are distributed.

  FIG. 5B is a fluctuation pattern distribution table for high probability / high base which is referred to when selecting the main fluctuation pattern at high certain / high base. In the fluctuation pattern distribution table for high probability / high base, main fluctuation patterns PB1, PB2 of out-of-out fluctuation, main fluctuation patterns PB3, PB4 of out-of-reach reach fluctuation, main fluctuation of big hit fluctuation as selectable main fluctuation patterns A plurality of main variation patterns including the patterns PB5 and PB6 are distributed.

  FIGS. 5C and 5D are fluctuation pattern distribution tables for low probability / high base referred to when selecting the main fluctuation pattern at low certainty / high base. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is a fluctuation pattern distribution table for low probability / high base, which is referred to when the fluctuation count after the end of the big hit game is 1 to 99 (see FIG. 5). (C)) and a fluctuation pattern distribution table (FIG. 5 (d)) which is referred to when the number of fluctuation after the big hit game is 100 times. That is, as the fluctuation pattern distribution table for the low probability high base, there are provided two tables which are referred to in the same gaming state but different in reference timing, that is, the number of times of fluctuation. Note that the number of times of change corresponds to the number of times of execution of the symbol change game.

  In FIG. 5C, main fluctuation patterns PC1 and PC2 of out-of-out fluctuation, main fluctuation patterns PC3 and PC4 of out-of-reach reach fluctuation, and main fluctuation patterns PC5 and PC6 of big hit fluctuation as selectable main fluctuation patterns, There are a plurality of main variation patterns including. On the other hand, in FIG. 5D, the main fluctuation pattern PC1x of outlier fluctuation and the main fluctuation pattern PC5 of big hit fluctuation are distributed as selectable main fluctuation patterns.

  Not only the main variation patterns illustrated in each of the variation pattern distribution tables shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, but also a number of main variation patterns are distributed. On the other hand, in the fluctuation pattern distribution table shown in FIG. 5 (d), one type of main fluctuation pattern of out-of-range fluctuation and one type of main fluctuation pattern of big hit fluctuation are distributed. That is, in this embodiment, the main variation pattern which can be selected when the number of variations is 100 is the low certainty and high base, and the main variation pattern PC1x when the big hit lottery is not winning is the main variation pattern PC1x. At the time of the jackpot winning the lottery, it is uniquely determined as the main fluctuation pattern PC5. In each fluctuation pattern distribution table, there is also a main fluctuation pattern that is also used for distribution to other fluctuation pattern distribution tables, and there is also a dedicated main fluctuation pattern that is distributed only to the fluctuation pattern distribution table. .

  Note that “T1”, “T2”, and “TX” in the main fluctuation pattern of the outlier fluctuation allocated to each of the fluctuation pattern distribution tables in FIGS. 5A to 5D are fluctuation times at the time of the outlier fluctuation. . In addition, “NR” and “SR” in the main fluctuation pattern of out-of-reach reach fluctuation or jackpot fluctuation allocated to each fluctuation pattern distribution table in FIGS. 5A to 5D are outlier reach fluctuation or jackpot It is a kind of reach effect performed in the change. Specifically, "NR" is normal reach production, and "SR" is super reach production. The normal reach effect is an effect that causes a combination of effect symbols to be derived by stopping the fluctuation of the remaining lines (one line in the middle) after the formation of the reach. The super reach effect is an effect in which the effect is developed after deriving the effect symbols of the remaining lines by the normal reach effect, or the effect is developed during the normal reach effect, and the combination of the effect symbols is derived by the effect after the development. Super reach production is positioned as a production with a high expectation of big hit compared to normal reach production. The jackpot expectation can be calculated by the ratio of the appearance ratio in the case of big hit to the total appearance ratio obtained by adding the appearance ratio in the case of out-of-pocket and the appearance ratio in the case of big hit. In the case of providing a plurality of types of super reach effects, the degree of jackpot expectation may be different for each type of super reach effect.

Next, the process regarding the progress of the big hit game performed by having won the big hit lottery will be described.
The big hit game of this embodiment is composed of an opening with the start of the big hit game, a round game for opening the big winning opening 14, and an ending with the end of the big hit game. In other words, the jackpot game proceeds in stages, such as opening → round game → ending. Then, the main control CPU 30a opens the large winning opening with the process of generating control information (control command) instructing the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 to control the game effect as a process relating to the progress of the big hit game. And carry out the closing process. The various control information generated in the above process is transmitted to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing by the command transmission process performed by the main control CPU 30a.

Next, processing relating to the gaming state will be described.
In this process, the main control CPU 30a generates control information that can specify the gaming state as control information. The various control information generated in the above process is transmitted to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing by the command transmission process performed by the main control CPU 30a.

  When the main control CPU 30a sets the gaming state to the non-probability changing state and the non-incident rate improving state (low certainty and low base), the state 1 designating command (gaming state information) as a state designating command capable of specifying the gaming state Generate Further, when the main control CPU 30a sets the gaming state to be a definite change state and an increase in the pitch rate (high certainty and high base), the state 2 designation command (gaming state information) as a state designation command capable of specifying the gaming state. Generate When the main control CPU 30a sets the gaming state to a non-probability changing state and to increase the ball percentage (low certainty and high base), the state 3 designating command (playing state as a state designating command capable of specifying the gaming state) Generate information). In addition, when managing the application period of the ball entry state in the ball pitch improvement state by the number of fluctuations, the main control CPU 30a counts the number of times the symbol variation game of the special symbol executed is executed, and the termination condition of the ball entry state in the ball entry state is satisfied. An end command (playing state information) is generated as a state designating command capable of specifying the end of the pitch increase state.

  The generated game state information is transmitted to the sub control CPU 31a, for example, at the time of power on (power recovery) or at the transition of the game state. For example, when the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is changed to the definite change state and the ball filling rate improvement state, the state 2 designation command is transmitted to the sub control CPU 31a with the end of the big hit game. The gaming state information is not limited to the illustrated control information, and is set for each gaming state that needs to be recognized by the sub control CPU 31a.

  In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state. And, in the gaming state, the non-filling rate improvement state (low base), which is the first gaming state, and the degree of advantage regarding the entering of the gaming ball to the second starting port 13 is advantageous compared to the first gaming state And the ball entry rate improvement state (high base) which is the second game state. In addition, the ball entry rate improvement state is a game state in which the degree of advantage regarding the ball entry to the second starting opening 13 is advantageous compared to the non-ball entry rate improvement state. Then, when the termination condition of the second gaming state is satisfied when the second gaming state (high base) is in the second gaming state (high base), the main control CPU 30a which is the gaming state control means ends the second gaming state.

Next, a process (common figure change process) related to the execution of the normal symbol change game in which the lottery result of the normal hit lottery is derived will be described.
In the common figure change processing, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the start condition of the normal symbol change game is satisfied. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition is satisfied when the normal symbol variation game is not being executed and the normal symbol is not hitting the game, while the normal symbol variation game is being executed, or It is determined that the start condition is not established when the player is in the middle of hitting the normal symbol game. Then, when the start condition is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the common drawing change processing.

  When the above-described start condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a reads the normal holding number and determines whether the read normal holding number is larger than zero. Then, when the normal holding number is larger than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start the normal symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the number of normal reservations is zero, the main control CPU 30a ends the common drawing change processing.

  When starting the normal symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the normal holding number to rewrite. Then, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information among the random number information (normally hit random number) stored in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the normal hit random number specified from the acquired random number information with the normal hit determination value, and performs a normal hit lottery. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a ball hitting rate improvement function. For this reason, in the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs the normal hit lottery with a different winning probability depending on whether the normal hit lottery time is in the ball entering rate improving state or the non ball entering rate improving state.

  In this embodiment, the winning probability in the non-filling-rate improvement state is zero (no hit), and the winning probability in the filling-percentage improvement state is 100% (no loss). Note that the winning probability of the normal hit lottery can be defined by the ratio of the number of values (normal hit judgment value) to be normally hit to the values that can be taken by the normal hit random number.

  Returning to the explanation of the common drawing change processing, in the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the value of the normal hit random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c matches the normal hit determination value. Then, when the value of the normal hit random number and the normal hit determination value match, the normal hit lottery is won. When the normal hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a performs a normal hit process. In the normal hit processing, the main control CPU 30a determines the hit symbol of the normal symbol, and also determines the change pattern of the normal symbol which can specify the change time of the normal symbol change game. The hit symbol of this determined normal symbol is the fixed stop symbol derived in the normal symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a does not win the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs the normal removal process. In the normal misplacement process, the main control CPU 30a determines the out-of-pattern of the normal symbol and determines the variation pattern of the normal symbol. The determined off symbol of the normal symbol is the fixed stop symbol derived in the normal symbol variation game.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a executes the normal symbol variation game on the normal symbol display device 25 according to the determination result in the normal hit processing or the normal offset processing performed based on the lottery result of the normal hit lottery, and causes fluctuation. After the passage of time, a normal hit symbol or a normally off symbol is displayed for a definite stop. When the main control CPU 30a has won the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal hit game to occur after the end of the normal symbol variation game. In the normal hit game, by opening the second starting opening 13 in a predetermined opening pattern, control is performed so as to be able to take an acceptable state for allowing the game ball to enter.

  In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a normal hit lottery means for performing a normal hit lottery as a hit lottery for a normal symbol. Further, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal hit game in which the opening and closing member of the second starting opening 13 is opened after the end of the normal symbol variation game when the normal symbol wins the lottery. It functions as a hit game occurrence means.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 will be described based on the effect control program. When receiving the control command from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a executes various processes in accordance with the control command. And in this embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a functions as effect control means for controlling the execution of effects.

First, the effect symbol variation process will be described.
In the effect symbol variation process, when the sub control CPU 31a receives the special drawing command, it determines a combination of effect symbols to be derived in the symbol variation game of the effect symbol based on the special symbol designated by the special symbol command. When the big hit symbol of the special symbol is designated, the sub control CPU 31a determines the combination of the big hit by the effect symbol. In addition, when the out-of-hand symbol of the special symbol is designated, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the combination of the effect symbols to be derived in the symbol change game of the effect symbols based on the main change pattern specified from the change start command. . Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the combination of the disconnection including the reach formation pattern when the main fluctuation pattern of the out-of-reach reach fluctuation is designated. In addition, when the main variation pattern of out-of-out variation is designated, the sub control CPU 31a determines a combination of out-of-ranges not including the reach formation pattern.

  In this embodiment, the symbol variation game of the production symbols is made to derive a combination of the production symbols of three rows including the left row, the middle row, and the right row. And, in the design fluctuation game of production design, reach is formed by the same production design being drawn out in specified plural lines (this line 2 lines of left line and right line in this execution form), remaining line (this execution In the form, a reach effect for leading one middle row) is performed. For this reason, the same effect design derived in a plurality of predetermined rows becomes the reach formation symbol, and the combination of the outset including the reach formation symbols is the same effect design in a plurality of predetermined rows, and the remaining rows are a predetermined plurality It becomes the combination which is the production design which differs from the production design of the line. In addition, the combination of the out formation which does not include the reach formation design is the design where the specified plural lines differ, concerning the remaining line it becomes the combination which does not ask the coincidence with the specified design effect plural lines. Incidentally, the combination of the jackpot of this embodiment is a combination in which the rendering patterns of all the rows become the same rendering pattern. That is, the combination of the big hit also includes the reach formation pattern.

  Further, when receiving the change start command, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 (image display unit GH) and the like based on the type of the main change pattern that can be identified from the command. Determine the sub-variation pattern. The sub variation pattern can specify the variation content (representation content) of the symbol variation game of the presentation symbol.

  The sub control CPU 31a that has determined the sub variation pattern controls the display content of the effect display device 11 (image display unit GH) so that the symbol variation game of the rendering symbol is displayed by the variation content specified by the sub variation pattern Do. Then, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the image display section GH so that the symbol variation game of the rendering symbol is ended and the combination of the rendering symbols is derived by the passage of the variation time specified from the main variation pattern. . In this embodiment, the symbol variation game of the rendering symbol is ended upon receipt of the variation stop command, but the variation time specified from the main variation pattern is timed by the control of the sub control CPU 31a, The symbol variation game of symbols may be ended. That is, without transmitting the change stop command from the main control board 30, the end of the symbol change game of the effect pattern may be controlled.

  In addition, the start pending that may exist in the symbol variation game in which the end condition of the ball entry rate improvement state (high base) will be met is a normal created by winning the regular hit lottery before the start of the symbol variation game. It may be caused by the game ball entering the second starting opening 13 in a normal hit game which is generated by winning a normal hit lottery during the hit game or the symbol variation game. The start suspension (the start suspension of the second special symbol) that can occur in this way is to be executed in the non-filling rate improvement state even when shifting from the ball entry rate improvement state to the non-ball entering rate improvement state Become. Then, as described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5D, the main variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern distribution table corresponding to the gaming state at the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main variation pattern of the symbol variation game for which the termination condition of the above-mentioned ball entry condition improvement state is satisfied is selected from the fluctuation pattern distribution table at the high base, but the termination condition of the ball entry ratio improvement condition is The start pending that may exist in the symbol variation game to be established is selected from the low base variation pattern distribution table. For this reason, the type of the main variation pattern that can be selected changes depending on the difference of the variation pattern distribution table that selects the main variation pattern, and the variation content and non-entry percentage of the symbol variation game executed in the ball entry percentage improvement state. There may be a case where the contents of variation of the symbol variation game executed in the improved state are different.

  Further, in the control of the effect display device 11, the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 selects an image effect to be performed, and reads out data necessary for the selected image effect from the ROM. The sub control board 31 is provided with a character ROM for storing character image data to be displayed on the effect display device 11, specifically, a person, a character, a figure or a symbol (including a decorative pattern) in advance. Data may be read out. Then, the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 outputs the read data to the VDP (video display processor). The VDP performs display control based on the input data, and causes the image display unit GH to display an image.

In addition, when receiving the control command transmitted from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a executes control according to the control command.
For example, during the big hit game, a control command capable of specifying that it is a big hit game is transmitted to the sub control CPU 31a. For example, such control commands include an opening command that can specify the start of opening, a round command that can specify the start of each round game, and an ending command that can specify the start of ending. Then, the sub control CPU 31a that has received these commands causes the image display unit GH or the like to execute an opening effect, each round effect, and an ending effect.

  In addition, during the big hit game, the sub-control CPU 31a receives the winning ball designating command, from the received winning ball designating command, the winning opening (ie, the winning opening in which the ball is generated) and the winnings to be paid out. Identify the number of winning balls to be paid out by entering the mouth. The prize ball specification command is transmitted each time entry to the winning opening targeted for the prize ball payout is detected regardless of the progress of the big hit game, and is received by the sub control CPU 31a. Then, in this embodiment, when the sub control CPU 31a specifies that a winning ball has been generated by entering the large winning opening 14 from a winning ball designating command, the winning ball stored in the sub control RAM 31c is specified. The number of winning balls is added to stored information that can specify the total number, and stored. For example, when a winning ball specification command [A9H0FH] is received while storing and holding memory information that can specify "90 balls" as the total number of winning balls, the sub control CPU 31a sets the total number of winning balls as [ Let 105 balls (90 balls + 15 balls) be memory information that can be specified. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a executes an effect of informing the total number of prize balls based on stored information that can specify the total number of award balls after the addition. That is, on the image display unit GH in the big hit game, information indicating the total number of winning balls is displayed by the control of the sub control CPU 31a. The total number of award balls stored in the sub control RAM 31c is held until a predetermined reset condition is satisfied, and is cleared to zero when the reset condition is satisfied.

  FIGS. 6A to 6F show an example of an image displayed on the effect display device 11 (image display unit GH) in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment. The images shown below are displayed on the effect display device 11 by the control of the sub control CPU 31a.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate the background image HK of the image display unit GH when the symbol variation game of the production symbol is being executed. The background image HK illustrated in FIG. 6A is an image of a background in which fresh green is imaged, in which mountains are stained green. Moreover, the background image HK illustrated in FIG. 6 (b) is an image of a background in which the sea is imaged. Such a background image HK is not limited to a still image, and may be, for example, a moving image in which part of a cloud floating in the sky moves with the passage of time. Then, the symbol variation game of the production symbols is displayed so as to overlap on the front side of the background image HK, and the production symbols of each row are displayed so as to overlap on the front side of the background image HK.

  When the background image HK of the image display unit GH is the main image (main presentation) among the images displayed on the image display unit GH, the background image HK is behind the image related to the fluctuation of the pattern It can be positioned as an image to be projected. In addition, the background image HK of the image display unit GH should be positioned as an image shown in a portion where notification information (for example, information on the number of start reservations) is not displayed in the image display unit GH. You can also. From this, for example, in the background image HK, an image when it is shown behind in the fluctuation of the production pattern such as the normal fluctuation (the fluctuation before reach formation) or the reach production in the symbol fluctuation game of the production symbol. There is. Further, in the background image HK, there are also an image shown during an interval between symbol variation games of a production symbol and an image shown during a demonstration effect. In addition, since the background image HK can be positioned as a secondary effect for promoting the effect of the main effect, the effect mode in the secondary effect is, for example, pattern variation of the effect pattern in order to promote the effect of the main effect. It may be changed during the game.

  In addition, the white down arrow shown to FIG. 6 (a), (b) shows the state which the production | presentation pattern of each row is changing. Further, in the image display unit GH, the holding image HG is displayed so as to overlap the background image HK. In the example of FIGS. 6A and 6B, the hold image HG is displayed at the lower left of the image display unit GH. The hold image HG is displayed by the secondary control CPU 31a that has received information (hold designation command) that can specify the start hold number transmitted by the main control CPU 30a. The hold image HG is constituted by, for example, display of characters for the start hold number and display by numerals, and increases by the establishment of the start condition, but decreases by the start of the symbol variation game of the special symbol.

  Further, the hold image HG displayed on the image display unit GH is used in the effect of the advance notice. The prefetch notice is a symbol variation game that has not yet been started, and is a notice that suggests that the symbol variation game stored as pending storage (start pending) may become a big hit. Then, when the symbol change game stored as pending storage at the time when the start condition is satisfied is the specific symbol change game (target change of the advance notification), the advance notice is executed before the specific change game is started. It is a notice. At this time, when there is a symbol variation game started prior to the specific symbol variation game, the advance notice is executed across a plurality of symbol variation games (or across a plurality of symbol variation games).

  The prefetch notice that uses the hold image HG includes a hold change notice that changes the hold image HG corresponding to the specific symbol variation game to a hold image HG different from the normal display mode. Specifically, for example, when the hold is newly generated when the start hold number as the number of hold memories is “2”, the hold image HG indicates a hold of three balls from an image showing a hold of two balls. It becomes an image. At this time, when the pre-reading notice is executed, the image showing the suspension of the third ball is displayed in a display mode different from that of the normal image showing the suspension of the first ball and the second ball, and an image for the ordinary image With changes in It can be recognized that the pre-reading notice is executed by the change of the reserved image. That is, the symbol variation game corresponding to the third ball on hold can be a specific symbol variation game. The advance notice is an effect of giving notice of the expectation of the jackpot in the symbol variation game which has not been started yet, in other words, the symbol variation game of the future. For this reason, in order to avoid the inconsistency between the result of the pre-reading and the actual result, for example, the game is executed under a situation involving a change in gaming state such as transition from the ball entry state to the non ball entry state. It may be configured to be regulated. That is, for example, the advance notice is not executed over the symbol variation game in which the symbol variation game which may be the final variation in the ball entry percentage improvement condition is not executed as the specific symbol variation game, or may be the final variation in the ball entry percentage improvement condition. Is executed at a time different from the execution timing of the final change of the ball entry rate improvement state.

  FIGS. 6C and 6D illustrate a notification image FG for notifying a region recommended as a region for firing game balls in the course of the game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 2, when it is preferable to aim the first start opening 12 to advance the game, the gaming ball should be fired to the left area While it is recommended that the game ball should be launched to the right area when it is preferable to aim at the second start port 13 or the big winning port 14 and proceed with the game. If the area on the left is recommended, it is a game that does not need to aim at the second start opening 13 or the large winning opening 14, that is, a game performed in a non-incident rate improvement state (low base) not in the big hit game . On the other hand, when the right side area is recommended, it is a game that needs to aim at the second starting opening 13 and the big winning opening 14, that is, a game played in an improvement in ball pitch (high base), and a big hit game. .

  FIG. 6C is a notification image FG instructing right-handing when the area on the right side is recommended. The notification image FG instructing a right hit is displayed in a period in which the ball hitting rate improvement state after the end of the big hit game is given after the big hit game is given. That is, the notification image FG instructing a right hit may be displayed at the time of transition to the jackpot game and transition to the pitch increase state, or may be continuously displayed during the above-described period. The notification image FG instructing a right strike is displayed by the sub control CPU 31a that has received information that can specify a right strike instruction transmitted by the main control CPU 30a. Information that can specify a right-handed instruction may be dedicated information (right-handed specification command), or it may be specified that the opening command or pitch improvement state is transmitted when shifting to a big hit game It may be a state specification command.

  FIG. 6D is a notification image FG instructing left hitting when the left region is recommended. The notification image FG instructing left-handed is ended when the ball packing density improvement state reaches the specified upper limit number of times, and it is specified when transitioning to the non-probability changing state and the non ball packing ratio improvement state (low certainty and low base) It is displayed for a period (for example, several seconds to several tens of seconds). The notification image FG instructing left strike is displayed by the sub control CPU 31a that has received information that can specify the left strike instruction transmitted by the main control CPU 30a. The information that can specify the left-handed instruction may be dedicated information (left-handed designating command), or the state designating command that can specify that the ball entry state has ended due to reaching the specified upper limit frequency It may be an end command).

  The notification image FG instructing left hitting in FIG. 6D is not limited to transition to the non-probability state and the non-ball-in-class improvement state, for example, during the gaming state in the non-probability state and the non-ball-in-class improvement state. For example, the game may be displayed by entering a predetermined number (or one or two or more balls) of game balls into the operation gate 18. The above-mentioned display at the time of transition is intended to return the hitting manner (operation method) of the game ball from right-handed to left-handed by the end of the ball entry rate improvement state. On the other hand, the notification by the predetermined number of game balls entering the above-mentioned operation gate 18 strongly means the warning that the game ball is not fired to the recommended area, and a notification image instructing left strike FG can also be considered as a type of error notification.

  FIGS. 6E and 6F are game result images RG displayed in a notification effect (first effect) in which the result of the game played by the player is notified. The game result image RG is displayed on the image display unit GH at a predetermined time during the game when the condition for displaying the game result image RG is satisfied. In this embodiment, in the game result image RG, the result of counting the total number of winning balls as gaming media obtained by the player as the game ball enters the big winning opening 14 triggered by a big hit (hereinafter referred to as “prize” It is reported that "the ball count result" is shown and the count result of the number of consecutive times of the big hit game (hereinafter referred to as "the continuous count result"). In FIG. 6 (e) and (f), the winning ball counting result is indicated by the title of [acquired PT (acquired point)], and the consecutive counting result is indicated by the title of [consecutive number of times]. It is written.

  In addition, although the game result images RG in FIGS. 6 (e) and 6 (f) are all images displayed by the notification effect for notifying the game result, it is satisfied that the above-mentioned counting result satisfies a predetermined condition or not. Either is selected and displayed depending on the absence. Specifically, FIG. 6 (e) is a game result image RG when the counting result does not satisfy the predetermined condition, and FIG. 6 (f) shows that the counting result satisfies the predetermined condition. It is a game result image RG when being. In the game result image RG shown in FIG. 6 (f), the screen configuration is such that the character (girl) KY appearing on the screen wears a luxurious costume and emits a congratulatory message so as to praise the game result. There is. In the following description, the description of the game result image RG does not particularly distinguish between the game result images RG of FIGS. 6 (e) and 6 (f), and the game result of FIG. 6 (e) does not distinguish them. The image RG is described as a game result image RG1, and the game result image RG of FIG. 6F is described as a game result image RG2.

  The prize ball counting result and the continuous counting result are results counted by the sub control CPU 31a that received the control information transmitted by the main control CPU 30a, and these counting results are for the sub control until a predetermined reset condition is satisfied. It is stored and held in the RAM 31c. The control of the sub control CPU 31a for displaying the game result image RG will be described later. Note that the notification image FG and the game result image RG illustrated in FIGS. 6C to 6F may be captured as a type of background image displayed on the image display unit GH.

Next, according to FIG. 7, the effect mode with which the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is equipped and the transition mode of the effect mode will be described.
In the effect mode of this embodiment, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10, specifically speaking, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is low probability or high probability, or is the ball entry rate improving state (high base) It is reported whether it is a non-incident rate improvement state (low base). These effect modes correspond mainly to the type of the background image HK displayed on the effect display device 11 (image display section GH) when the symbol variation game of the effect symbols is being executed, and the player is the background image HK Can specify the effect mode. Then, the effect mode is switched when the transition condition is established, and it can be said that the effect mode is a specific effect which can be continued across a plurality of symbol variation games until the transition condition is established. In addition, the background image HK corresponding to the rendering mode is, for example, when the symbol variation game of the rendering symbol is switched to the super reach rendering and is switched to an image unique to the super reaching rendering, or the demonstration rendering is performed by the execution condition of the demonstration rendering. It will be in the non-displayed state when switching to the image of. However, the background image HK corresponding to the effect mode is displayed on the image display unit GH in principle when the above-mentioned condition for non-display state is not satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a rendering mode M1 in a non-probability state and a non-ball entry rate improvement state (low certainty and low base), a probability change state and a ball entry rate improvement state (high It is provided with a production mode M2 of a certain high base) and a production mode M3 of a non-probability state and an improvement in ball entry rate (low certain high base).

  The effect mode M1 further includes a normal mode and a special mode in which the background image HK differs in the same gaming state. In the normal mode, as the background image HK, a background image HK1a in which an image of fresh green in which a mountain is dyed green is displayed is displayed. On the other hand, in the special mode, a background image HK1b in which an image of a snow scene in which a mountain is dyed white is imaged is displayed as the background image HK.

  The effect mode M2 is a definite variation mode in which it is informed that the winning probability of the big hit lottery is high. In the definite variation mode, as the background image HK, a background image HK2 in which an image of a cherry blossom landscape in which a mountain is dyed in cherry color is imaged is displayed. Further, the effect mode M3 is a chance mode (time saving mode) informing that the ball hitting rate is in an improved state although the winning probability of the big hit lottery is low. In the chance mode, as the background image HK, a background image HK3 in which an image of autumn leaves dyed in red is displayed.

  The transition modes of these effect modes M1, M2 and M3 are as described below. In this embodiment, the transition of the rendering mode is performed by control of the sub control CPU 31a, and the sub control CPU 31a functions as a mode control unit that controls the rendering mode.

  From the effect mode M1, it is a transition condition to win the big hit lottery, and it is possible to shift to either the effect mode M2 or the effect mode M3 depending on the type of the winning jack. Specifically, when winning a special symbol ZA, ZB, Za, Zb which is a probability variation big hit, it shifts to the effect mode M2 after the end of the big hit game, and a special symbol ZC, Zc which is a non probability variation big hit If the player is elected, the game mode is shifted to the effect mode M3 after the big hit game is over. In addition, even when staying in either the normal mode or the special mode in the effect mode M1, the transition mode to the effect mode M2 or the effect mode M3 is the same condition.

  In addition, in the normal mode and the special mode in the effect mode M1, the transition from the normal mode to the special mode is not performed, and the transition from the special mode to the normal mode is possible. In the special mode, in the effect mode M3 staying in the non-probability changing state and the ball entering rate improving state, the effect capable of transitioning from the effect mode M3 when the ending condition of the ball entering rate improving state is satisfied It is a mode. In the special mode, it is possible to stay until the number of times of variation of the symbol variation game after transition reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), and shifts to the normal mode after reaching the predetermined number of times.

  From the effect mode M2, it is a transition condition to win the big hit lottery, and it is possible to shift to either the effect mode M2 or the effect mode M3 depending on the type of the win. Specifically, when winning a special symbol ZA, ZB, Za, Zb which is a probability variation big hit, it shifts to the effect mode M2 after the end of the big hit game, and a special symbol ZC, Zc which is a non probability variation big hit If the player is elected, the game mode is shifted to the effect mode M3 after the big hit game is over.

  From the effect mode M3, it is a transition condition to win the big hit lottery, and it is possible to shift to either the effect mode M2 or the effect mode M3 depending on the type of the winning jack. Specifically, when winning a special symbol ZA, ZB, Za, Zb which is a probability variation big hit, it shifts to the effect mode M2 after the end of the big hit game, and a special symbol ZC, Zc which is a non probability variation big hit If the player is elected, the game mode is shifted to the effect mode M3 after the big hit game is over. Furthermore, from the effect mode M3, after the transition to the effect mode M3, the effect is performed on condition that the number of times of fluctuation of the symbol fluctuation game executed without winning in the big hit lottery has reached the specified upper limit number of ball entry rate improvement states. Transition to mode M1. That is, when the high base ends, the transition from the effect mode M3 to the effect mode M1 is made. At this time, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment shifts to the special mode of the effect mode M1.

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the sub control CPU 31a in order to display the game result image RG in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, control for counting the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result notified by the game result image RG will be described.

  The continuous counting result indicates the number of times the jackpot has been won consecutively (so-called, the number of consecutive breaks). In this embodiment, regardless of the type of jackpot, "I won the jackpot in a row" won the jackpot lottery during the improvement of the ball hitting rate after the jackpot game was won after winning the first jackpot including. For this reason, when the jackpot is won so as to satisfy the above-described conditions, the sub control CPU 31a counts the number of consecutive times of the jackpot game. In addition, the big hit that can be the first big hit is a big hit that can be generated by winning the big hit lottery during the non-deterministic state and the non-incident rate improvement state (low certainty and low base) except for the special situation described later. is there.

  In addition, the winning ball counting result is obtained by the player by the game ball entering the big winning opening 14 during the big hit game based on the big hit corresponding to the continuous big hit counted as the continuous counting result described above Indicates the total number of winning balls to be obtained. The total number of winning balls in this embodiment corresponds to the number of gaming balls paid out by the ball payout device 33, and is a number that does not take into consideration the number of firing balls played by the player in the game.

  Here, specific examples of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result will be described according to FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (d). In addition, ZA, Za, Zc, and Zc in a figure show the kind (namely, kind of big hit) of a special symbol. Further, "high" in the figure indicates a high base (in ball pitch improvement state), and "low" indicates a low base (non ball fall state improvement state).

  FIG. 8 (a) shows that the special symbol ZA (first special symbol) is won in the non-deterministic state and the non-incident rate improvement state (low certain but low base) and the big hit of this special symbol ZA is the first time It can be a big hit. Next, if the special symbol Za (second special symbol) wins a big hit in the state of improvement in the pitch rate after the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol ZA, the big hit of this special symbol Za can be the second big hit . Next, if the special symbol Zc (second special symbol) wins the big hit in the special symbol Za based on the big hit of the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Za, the big hit of this special symbol Zc can be the third big hit . After that, the jackpot lottery is not won in the state of improvement in the pitch rate after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Zc, and the game state shifts to the non ballfall state improvement state when reaching the specified upper limit frequency. To effect mode M1 (special mode).

  In the example of FIG. 8 (a), since the big hit lottery was not won in the state of improvement of the pitch rate after the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Zc, the continuous counting result is (1), (2), in the figure. As shown as (3), it is counted as [three times]. Further, in the example of FIG. 8A, the winning ball counting result is a winning ball obtained in three big hit games counted by the continuous counting result, that is, each big hit game shown as d1, d2 and d3 in the figure. It is counted as [D1] which is the total value of the winning balls acquired in.

  FIG. 8 (b) shows the winning of the special symbol ZC (first special symbol) in the non-deterministic state and the non-incident rate improving state (low certain but low base), and the big hit of this special symbol ZC is the first time It can be a big hit. Next, if the special symbol Za (the second special symbol) wins a big hit in the state of improvement in the pitch rate after the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol ZC, the big hit of this special symbol Za can become the second big hit . Next, if the special symbol Zc (second special symbol) wins the big hit in the special symbol Za based on the big hit of the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Za, the big hit of this special symbol Zc can be the third big hit . After that, the jackpot lottery is not won in the state of improvement in the pitch rate after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Zc, and the game state shifts to the non ballfall state improvement state when reaching the specified upper limit frequency. To effect mode M1 (special mode).

  In the example of FIG. 8 (b), since the big hit lottery was not won in the state of improvement of the ball entering rate after the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Zc, the continuous counting result is (1), (2), in the figure. As shown as (3), it is counted as [three times]. Further, in the example of FIG. 8B, the winning ball counting result is a winning ball obtained in three big hit games counted by the continuous counting result, that is, each big hit game shown as d4, d5, d6 in the figure. It is counted as [D2] which is the total value of the winning balls acquired in.

  In the examples of FIGS. 8A and 8B, the types of the second and third big hits are the same, but the types of the first big hits are different. And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 4, there may be a difference in the number of balls obtained between the big hit of the special symbol ZA and the big hit of the special symbol ZC. For this reason, although the same [3 times] is counted as the continuous counting result, the result of the different counting is shown as the winning ball counting result. In addition, the round game which comprises a big hit game may be complete | finished by satisfy | filling either one of the progress of predetermined prescription time, or the predetermined number of ball | bowl entry. In addition, as described above, the round game is ended under the same condition, such as the passage of a prescribed time or the entry of a prescribed number, but the aspect in which the gaming balls fired to the gaming area YBa enter the big prize opening 14 is unique. It is not determined. That is, if the number of rounds entering the special winning opening 14 is less than the prescribed number and the round game is over due to the passage of the prescribed time, the number of winnings in the special winning opening 14 exceeds the prescribed number of rounds There are also cases where the game is over (occurrence of over winning). For this reason, the winning ball counting result fluctuates depending on the type of the big hit etc. even if the continuous counting result is the same due to the factors as described above, and further the gaming ball enters the big winning opening 14 in the round game It changes also with aspects. In addition, assuming that the same type of big hit (or the same number of winning balls obtained as the theoretical value is continuous) is continuous, the number of winning balls counted increases as the number of times counted as the continuous counting result increases. .

  In FIG. 8 (c), the jackpot of the special symbol ZA (first special symbol) is won in the non-deterministic state and the non-incident rate improvement state (low certain but low base), and the big hit of this special symbol ZA is the first time It can be a big hit. Next, if the special symbol Zc (second special symbol) wins the big hit in the special symbol ZA based on the big hit on the big hit game, the big hit of this special symbol Zc can be the second big hit . After that, the jackpot lottery is not won in the state of improvement in the pitch rate after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Zc, and the game state shifts to the non ballfall state improvement state when reaching the specified upper limit frequency. To effect mode M1 (special mode). And in FIG.8 (c), after transfering to a non-ball entering rate improvement state, the case where it wins to the big hit of the special symbol ZA (1st special symbol) in a non probability change state and a non ball entering rate improvement state is shown further. ing.

  In the example of FIG. 8 (c), since the big hit lottery was not won in the state of improving the ball percentage after the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol Zc, the continuous counting result is (1), ( As shown in 2), it is counted as [2 times]. That is, even after winning to the special symbol ZA again in the non-probability state and the non-incident rate improving state after transitioning to the non-incident rate improving state, the jackpot is the first time as shown by (1) in the figure The result is a big hit, which is not reflected in the previous counting results. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 8 (c), the winning ball counting result is obtained by two big hit games counted in the continuous counting result, that is, winning balls shown by d7 and d8 in the figure. It is counted as [D3] which is the total value of the winning balls obtained.

  And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, although the event illustrated in FIG. 8C is not reflected in the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result, the event in which the big hit is won as illustrated in FIG. The is to reflect the winning of the said big hit on the continuous counting result and the ball counting result.

  The big hit of the special symbol Zc (second special symbol) shown in FIG. 8 (d) is a big hit counted as a continuous counting result, and in this example, the continuous counting result is counted as [X times (X: numeral)] doing. And, while not winning the big hit lottery in the ball entry rate improvement state after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit of the X-th special symbol Zc, the game state will transition to non-ball entry rate state when reaching the specified upper limit frequency, A transition is made from the effect mode M3 to the effect mode M1 (special mode). In this embodiment, the special mode of the effect mode M1 is a dedicated effect mode that can be shifted only when transitioning from the ball entry state to the non ball entry state, and after transition, the number of times of variation of the symbol variation game is Stay until reaching a predetermined number of times W (for example, 10 times).

  And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when the jackpot lottery is won during the stay in the special mode, the jackpot is added to the already counted continuous counting result without making the jackpot the first jackpot, and the jackpot The prize balls acquired during the big hit game based on are added to the already counted prize ball counting results. That is, in the example of FIG. 8D, the jackpot winning in the special mode is added to [X] which is the continuous counting result already counted, and the continuous counting result after the addition becomes [X + 1]. Further, in the example of FIG. 8 (d), the winning ball counting result is a winning ball obtained in X jackpot games counted in the continuous counting results already counted, that is, a special symbol Zc shown as dx1 in the figure. The winning ball count result including the winning balls obtained in the big hit game based on the big hit is added to the winning ball component obtained in the big hit game based on the big hit of the special symbol ZA shown as dx 2 in the figure. That is, the winning ball counting result obtained by adding the winning balls shown as dx2 in the figure is counted as [Dx]. It should be noted that if the special symbol ZA is won in the special mode, then after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit, the ball entry rate will be improved, and thereafter the continuous count will be performed under the conditions described in FIG. Results and ball counting results are continuously counted.

  As described above, under the conditions described in FIGS. 8A to 8D, the sub control CPU 31a counts the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result. That is, the sub control CPU 31a can specify that the big hit lottery has been won by receiving the control command transmitted by the main control CPU 30a, such as the type of main fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation start command and a special drawing command. is there. In addition, the sub control CPU 31a can specify that the ball entry state improvement state is generated and the entry of the ball entry state improvement state is ended by receiving the state designation command transmitted by the main control CPU 30a. Further, since the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect mode, it can specify that the effect mode M3 has shifted to the special mode M1 and that the special mode has shifted to the normal mode. In addition, the sub control CPU 31a receives the prize ball specification command transmitted by the main control CPU 30a, and the game ball enters the big winning opening 14 from the type of the received prize ball specification command, and a prize ball is generated. Can be identified.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a can count the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result under the conditions described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (d). Further, the sub control CPU 31a stores and holds each of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result in the sub control RAM 31c. In this embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a does not hold the condition for continuously counting the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result due to the termination of the special mode, and the reset condition for the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result is satisfied. By doing this, these counting results are cleared to zero.

  The timing to clear the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result to zero may be the end time of the special mode, or may be the next time when the jackpot is won for the first big hit. Further, when the backup function of the sub control board 31 is mounted, the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result are held as backup information even when the power supply is stopped, and information which can be restored when the power supply is started It may be On the other hand, when the backup function of the sub control board 31 is not installed, the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result can be information erased by stopping the power supply.

  Next, according to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, display control of the game result image RG for notifying of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result counted as described above will be described. In this embodiment, the effect display device 11 (image display unit GH) functions as a notification unit.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the display timing of the game result image RG is the timing at which the ball entry rate improvement state (high base) ends and the transition to the non ball entry rate improvement state (low base) can be made.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, in the symbol variation game of the production symbol that reaches the specified upper limit number of times that the end condition of the ball entry rate improvement state is met, the symbol variation game is out of bounds variation (ie, big hit When it is determined that the lottery is not made), the game result image RG is executed. That is, the game result image RG is displayed on the image display unit GH when the specific condition that the final change of the ball pitch improvement state is the release change is satisfied, and the game result image RG is displayed to display the continuous count result and the prize. Informing effect of informing the ball counting result is executed. In other words, the sub-control CPU 31a causes the notification effect to be executed in response to the termination of the ball entry rate improvement state when the variation count of the symbol variation game reaches the specified upper limit count. It should be noted that since the ball entry rate improvement state can be the final change by repeating the number of times of change or by taking steps, the fact that the ball entry rate improvement state as a specific condition is the final change is an element that holds over time. . In addition, since the big hit lottery is performed at the start of the symbol variation game, it is determined whether it is a big hit or lost by the big hit lottery, so the final variation of the ball entry improvement state as a specific condition is lost That is an element that holds at the time of performing a big hit lottery. Therefore, the specific condition in this embodiment is a condition that can be satisfied by the above-described plurality of elements being satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 5D, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is a variation pattern distribution table for a low probability high base, and is dedicated to select the main variation pattern when the number of variations reaches 100 times. The fluctuation pattern distribution table of. Then, the fluctuation pattern distribution table for low probability / high base when reaching 100 times is equipped with a main fluctuation pattern PC1x of outlier fluctuation in which [TX] is defined as fluctuation time. The main variation pattern PC1x is a dedicated main variation pattern which is not distributed to another variation pattern distribution table and can execute notification effect for displaying the game result image RG. For this reason, it can be said that the specific condition for executing the notification effect is satisfied by the selection of the specific variation pattern of the main variation pattern PC1x.

  The main control CPU 30a selects the main variation pattern PC1x from the variation pattern distribution table for the low probability high base shown in FIG. 5D when the above-mentioned specific condition is satisfied, and designates the main variation pattern PC1x. The start command is sent to the sub control CPU 31a. Then, the sub control CPU 31a that has received the change start command specifying the main change pattern PC1x controls the display content of the image display unit GH according to the corresponding sub change pattern, and changes the design pattern as shown in FIG. Run the game.

  Specifically, in the symbol variation game of the effect symbol displayed on the image display unit GH when the above-mentioned specific condition is satisfied, a combination of effect symbols which can be recognized when the time T1 elapses after the start of the variation In the figure, [123] is illustrated). This time T1 is, for example, shifted in the main fluctuation pattern PC1 of out-of-out fluctuation that is distributed to the fluctuation pattern distribution table for low probability / high base referred to when selecting the main fluctuation pattern up to 1 to 99 times of fluctuation. It is the same time as the time which stops the combination of the production | presentation pattern which can recognize, and complete | finishes a fluctuation | variation.

  Subsequently, on the image display unit GH, the game result image RG is displayed after the combination of the effect symbols that can recognize the removal is stopped. At this time, either the game result image RG1 of FIG. 6 (e) or the game result image RG2 of FIG. 6 (f) is displayed on the image display unit GH according to the respective counting results of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result. Is displayed. Specifically, the game result image RG1 is displayed when the count result does not satisfy the predetermined condition, and the game result image RG2 is displayed when the count result satisfies the predetermined condition. In this embodiment, to satisfy the predetermined condition means that the continuous counting result has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) or that the winning ball counting result has reached a predetermined number of balls (for example, 20000 balls) It is assumed that either one is satisfied. If the predetermined number of times is [10], for example, it means that the jackpot has been won ten times in a row, and if the predetermined number of balls is for example [2000], it is counted as a continuous counting result. This means that the total number of winning balls won in multiple hit games has reached 20000.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a, which functions as effect control means, normally generates a notification effect when the counting result consisting of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result does not satisfy the predetermined condition. The result image RG1) is executed. On the other hand, when the counting result satisfies the predetermined condition, the sub control CPU 31a executes notification effect in a special mode (game result image RG2). Then, on the image display unit GH, the game result image RG (RG1 or RG2) is continuously displayed during the time α after the combination of the effect symbols which can recognize the detachment is stopped. In this embodiment, before the notification effect is performed, the combination of the effect symbols capable of recognizing the off is stopped, so that the ending condition of the ball entering rate improvement state which is the advantageous game is satisfied (that is, It suggests or informs that the ball entry rate improvement state ends). And stopping the combination of the effect symbols that can recognize the departure means that a variation result that can identify that the jackpot lottery has not been won is derived, and in this embodiment, the jackpot lottery is not won. The notification effect is executed after the derivation of the fluctuation result that can identify the

  Further, in this embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a executes notification effects when the above-described specific condition is satisfied. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9, during the improvement in the ball entry rate where it is easy to obtain the start suspension, there is a high probability that the start suspension is high even when the final variation of the ball entry rate improvement state is performed. And, in the symbol variation game which is not yet started which is stored as start pending, there are cases where a symbol variation game as a big hit is included, and when a symbol variation game as a big hit is not included (all In the case of a symbol variation game) It is possible to identify whether there is a symbol variation game that will be a big hit in the suspension of starting by looking ahead at the suspension of starting, and the symbol variation game becoming a big hit being suspended for starting at this point will be described later It may be performed after the transition to the special mode of the mode M1. However, in this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a executes the notification effect by satisfying the specific condition that the final change of the ball content improvement state is the out-of-order fluctuation, and the specific condition is a big hit in the start suspension. In the case where there is a start-up hold that is the case and when there is no big-off start-up hold in the start-up hold. That is, the sub control CPU 31a executes the notification effect only when the specific condition is satisfied, regardless of the information obtained by prefetching the start hold. In addition, even when it is a case where alerting production is performed when specific conditions are satisfied, the start reservation pending which can occur before execution of alerting performance is being maintained without disappearing in the state of an increase in the pitch rate. In addition, for example, the game ball entered into the second starting opening 13 during the execution of the notification effect is stored as a start pending.

  Then, after the display of the game result image RG, an effect of changing the background of the image display unit GH is displayed on the image display unit GH during the time β. Specifically, the background image HK3 (image representing autumn leaves) displayed on the image display unit GH at the start of the change is displayed as the background image HK1 b (image representing a snow scene) in the special mode of the effect mode M1. Change (third effect). Then, in the image display unit GH, the combination of the effect symbols that can recognize the release that has stopped when the time T1 has elapsed after the time β has elapsed is definitely stopped. In addition, the combination of the rendering symbols stopped at the time of time T1 is in the state of the stop, and it becomes the state of the fixed stop at the time of passage of time β, that is, when the fluctuation time TX (= T1 + α + β) of the main fluctuation pattern PC1x elapses. Then, in the image display section GH, after the end of the 100th symbol variation game, if there is a start pending at the end of that, the gaming state shifts to the non-probability changing state and the non-incident rate improving state (low certain low base) After that, the first symbol variation game is started. That is, the subsequent symbol variation game including the first symbol variation game is played according to the main variation pattern selected from the low probability / low base variation pattern distribution table shown in FIG. 5A. Thereby, in the image display unit GH, the background image HK changes in response to the change of the gaming state, and the change contents which can appear in the symbol change game of the rendering symbol are different before and after the change of the game state. .

  Moreover, in this embodiment, after the end of the 100th symbol variation game, transition to the special mode of the effect mode M1 is made. That is, the transition condition of the effect mode M3 to the special mode of the effect mode M1 is that the 100th symbol variation game is ended, and the process of advancing the 100th symbol variation game is not included in the transition condition. Therefore, even if the sub control CPU 31a displays any image of the game result image RG1 or the game result image RG2 as the game result image RG in the 100th symbol variation game and executes notification effect, the notification effect is After execution, it is shifted to the special mode of the effect mode M1 with the end of the symbol variation game. That is, after the notification effect is performed, the mode is shifted to the same type of effect mode (special mode of effect mode M1). Thereby, the special mode of the rendering mode M1 in this embodiment can be a dedicated rendering mode that appears after the notification rendering is performed. Further, in this embodiment, when transitioning from the effect mode M3 to the effect mode M1, the area recommended as the area for firing the game ball changes from the area on the right to the area on the left. Therefore, after the termination of the 100th symbol variation game, the notification image FG instructing left hitting shown in FIG. 6D is displayed on the image display unit GH together with the background image HK1 b of the special mode for a predetermined period ( Third effect).

  Further, in this embodiment, the special mode of the effect mode M1 is a period in which it is possible to continuously count the jackpots which have won the jackpot lottery during the special mode as the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result. And since the transition to the special mode is performed after the execution of the informing effect, [the number of continuous times] and [acquired PT] notified in the informing effect are the continuous counting result and the prize in the period in which the special mode is continued. It can be a starting value for counting ball counting results.

  In the above, the case where the informing effect is displayed due to the 100th symbol fluctuation game being outlier fluctuation has been described, but in the case of a big hit, the image display unit GH displays the effect described below.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, in the symbol variation game of the effect symbol displayed on the image display unit GH, after the start of variation, reach is formed when the time Ta has elapsed. That is, in the image display unit GH, the same rendering symbol (for example, [3]) is stopped in a predetermined plurality of columns (two columns in the left column and the right column in this embodiment).

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, a variation effect distribution table for a low probability high base when the number of times of variation reaches 100 times shown in FIG. As the variation pattern, only the main variation pattern PC5 of the big hit variation is distributed. In other words, in the fluctuation pattern distribution table for the low probability / high base shown in FIG. 5D, the main fluctuation pattern of the deviation reach fluctuation is not distributed as in the other fluctuation pattern distribution tables. Therefore, when winning the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a selects the main variation pattern PC5 from the variation pattern distribution table for the low probability / high base in FIG. 5D, and designates the main variation pattern PC5. A change start command is sent to the sub control CPU 31a. Then, the sub control CPU 31a that has received the change start command specifying the main change pattern PC5 controls the display content of the image display unit GH according to the corresponding sub change pattern, and changes the design pattern as shown in FIG. Run the game. From this, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when reach is displayed on the image display unit GH in the symbol variation game of the 100th production symbol, it can be positively recognized that it is a big hit at that time It will be.

  In addition, the symbol fluctuation game of the production symbol based on the main fluctuation pattern PC5 is the fluctuation contents for deriving the big hit via the normal reach effect. Therefore, in the image display unit GH, after the formation of the reach, the normal reach effect is displayed during the time Tb, and the combination (for example, [333]) of the effect symbols capable of recognizing the big hit is stopped. At this time, in the image display unit GH, a part of the effects displayed in the process of deriving a combination of effect symbols capable of recognizing a big hit changes according to the type of the big hit that has been won.

  Specifically, when the special symbol Za (or the special symbol ZA) is won, in the image display section GH, the background image HK is special from the background image HK3 (image in which the autumn leaves are imaged) in the effect mode M3. It changes to a background image HK4 (an image representing the sea) provided as a background image. Then, in the image display unit GH, after a predetermined time elapses after changing to the background image HK4, the combination of the effect symbols that can recognize the big hit is stopped while changing to the background image HK3 again. That is, the background image HK4 is cut in to the image display unit GH as an effect of notifying that the special symbol Za (or the special symbol ZA) is won. The effect of displaying the background image HK4 is executed when a specific jackpot is determined, and is an effect different from the informing effect. In addition, the effect of displaying the background image HK4 is a dedicated effect that can be executed in the symbol variation game in which the state of improvement in the ball entry rate ends.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol Zb, Zc (or the special symbol ZB, ZC) is won, in the image display section GH, the background image HK is maintained as the background image HK3 (image in which autumn leaves are imaged) in the effect mode M3, The combination of the effect patterns that can recognize the big hit is stopped.

  Then, in the image display unit GH, after the time Tb has elapsed, the combination of the effect symbols capable of recognizing the big hit is definitely stopped. That is, the combination of the effect symbols capable of recognizing the big hit is in the state of the fixed stop when the variation time T3 (Ta + Tb) of the main variation pattern PC5 has elapsed. Thereafter, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a big hit game is generated, and after the big hit game is over, the ball entry rate is improved and the transition to the effect mode M2 or the effect mode M3 according to the type of the big hit.

  As described with reference to FIG. 10, when the 100th symbol variation game is a big hit, it is established that the specific condition for displaying the game result image RG, that is, the final variation of the ball entry percentage improvement state is the deviation variation Since it does not, game result picture RG is not displayed in the design fluctuation game of production design, notification production is not executed. On the other hand, when the 100th symbol variation game becomes a big hit, the main variation pattern PC5 assigned as the main variation pattern of the big hit variation in the variation pattern assignment table for the low probability high base in FIG. The symbol variation game of the variation content based on is executed (second effect). In the fluctuation pattern distribution table for the low probability high base in FIG. 5D, the main fluctuation pattern PC5 is uniquely distributed as a main fluctuation pattern of the big hit fluctuation. For this reason, the effect based on the main variation pattern PC5 assigned to the variation pattern assignment table for the low probability high base in FIG. 5 (d) is on the condition that the final variation in the ball entry percentage improvement state is a big hit variation. Since the effect is an appearance that can appear, it can be a dedicated effect that can be executed in the symbol variation game in which the end condition of the ball entry rate improvement state is satisfied. In addition, the effect based on the main change pattern PC5 can be a special effect that is executed when the symbol change game in which the end condition of the ball entry level improvement state is satisfied is a big hit lottery. In addition, the effect (content of fluctuation) based on the main fluctuation pattern PC5 that can be executed when the symbol fluctuation game in which the end condition of the ball entry state is satisfied is a big hit is a big hit fluctuation, and the effect is the ball entry state improved state It is an effect which can not appear as an effect (varying contents) when the symbol variation game for which the end condition of the above is satisfied is an off. That is, in this embodiment, the effect when the symbol variation game in which the end condition of the ball entry state is satisfied is out is the effect of out-of-out variation based on the main variation pattern PC1x, and the effect based on the main variation pattern PC5 The reach is formed in the same way, and then it is different from the outreach change, which becomes a slip.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) A game result image RG1 of the normal mode and a game result image RG2 of the special mode are provided as game result images RG in which the continuous count result and the winning ball count result are displayed. Therefore, notification effects for displaying the game result image RG are diversified, and the interest can be improved. Then, whether the game result image RG is displayed in the normal mode or in the special mode, whether the continuous counting result exceeds the predetermined number or the winning ball counting result exceeds the predetermined number of balls It depends on whether it meets the conditions of. For this reason, the player is interested in displaying the game result image RG2 of the special aspect, and as a result, it is possible to pay attention to winning the big hit lottery and the game during the big hit game, and the big hit To improve the interest in

  (2) Further, even when either the game result image RG1 or the game result image RG2 is displayed, the game result image RG2 is displayed because the mode is shifted to the same kind of effect mode (in the embodiment, the special mode of the effect mode M1). Can improve the scarcity value for That is, it is possible to give the player a sense of superiority over displaying the game result image RG2. Further, by shifting to the same kind of effect mode, it is possible to make the player understand that no change can occur in the game after the game result image RG is displayed, and the easy game is provided. be able to.

  (3) In addition, since the notification effect that the game result image RG is displayed is executed when the specific condition is satisfied, the player can easily recognize at which timing the notification effect is to be executed. it can. Further, since the game result image RG is displayed when the specific condition is satisfied, the rarity with respect to the game result image RG being displayed can be improved.

  (4) Further, since the special mode of the effect mode M1 is a dedicated effect mode that shifts after the notification effect is executed, the player can be motivated to continue the game by the appearance of the effect mode. Further, when the big hit lottery is won in the special mode, the big hit is reflected on the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result, so it is possible to give the motive to the player to continue the game. In particular, in a situation where the game result image RG2 is not displayed yet, it is possible to motivate the player to continue the game aiming to win a big hit in the special mode.

  (5) The main variation pattern PC1x capable of executing the notification effect is a dedicated variation pattern that can be selected in the case of final variation and removal of the state of improvement in the ball pitch rate. Then, after the end of the symbol variation game in which the informing effect is executed, that is, the effect mode of the transition destination after the end of the increase in ball pitch state is the special mode of the effect mode M1, and the special mode is also a dedicated mode. For this reason, it is possible to give speciality to the process of transitioning from the state of improving the ball entering rate to the state of improving the non ball entering rate through the notification effect. As a result, it is possible to reduce the discouragement of the player due to the transition to the non-incident rate improvement state by the peculiarity of the effect.

  (6) When the final change in the ball entry rate improvement state is out, the notification effect is executed, and when the big hit is made, the effect of the big hit change is executed without executing the notification effect. For this reason, it is possible to easily make the player recognize at which timing and which condition is satisfied, the notification effect is executed.

  (7) And, since the big hit fluctuation when the final change of the ball entry improvement state is a big hit is a dedicated effect, it is possible to definitely recognize that it will be a big hit by the appearance of the effect. That is, even if the combination of the rendering symbols is not derived in the symbol variation game of the rendering symbols, it is possible to make a definite recognition that it becomes a big hit. In addition, it is possible to give the player a sense of superiority by having obtained a big hit just before there is a possibility of transitioning from a pitch increase state to a non-fill rate improvement state.

  (8) In addition, when the final change in the ball entry rate improvement state is a big hit and a particular big hit, a background image HK4 that can be a dedicated effect can be displayed during the big hit change. For this reason, in addition to the effect of the above (7), it is possible to give the player a sense of superiority due to winning a specific big hit.

  (9) In addition, before the notification effect is executed, the player is made to recognize that the ball entry state improvement state is ended by stopping the combination of the outs, and the notification effect performed after that is not triggered. The feeling can be switched to the continuation of the game in the state of increased ball hitting rate.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
-FIG. 11 exemplifies a mode in which an informing effect is executed when a big hit lottery is won in the state of improvement in the pitch rate. In this mode, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a combination of effect symbols capable of recognizing the deviation is displayed once, and then, for example, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the game result image RG1 (RG) is displayed. The notification effect is executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), an image IG imitating a lightning bolt is cut in during execution of the informing effect, and then an effect that can recognize a big hit in the image display unit GH as shown in FIG. 11 (d) Display the combination of symbols. According to the effect illustrated in FIG. 11, the display of the game result image RG1 (RG) makes it seem that the ball entry rate improvement state ends, but a revival effect notifying that it is a big hit by cut-in of the image IG It can be realized. That is, in the effect shown in FIG. 11, informing effect is executed in the symbol variation game in which there is a possibility that the ending condition of the ball entry state improving state is satisfied. Then, according to the resurrection effect using such notification effect, the mood improvement state can be ended, and the mood of the player who is once disappointed can be raised at a stretch, and a highly entertaining effect can be realized. The cut-in image IG may be a dedicated image for achieving the effect shown in FIG. 11, that is, the resurrection effect, or may be a combined image which is cut-in also in a normal symbol variation game.

  In addition, in the above another example, the timing of the resurrection effect may be given by the operation of the operation button BT. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, after the game result image RG is displayed, an image prompting the operation of the operation button BT is displayed, and the resurrection effect is executed according to the operation result of the operation button BT A case (success game effect) and a case where the resurrection game operation is not performed (failure game effect) may be created. At this time, the image for prompting the operation of the operation button BT may be displayed instead of the cut-in of the image IG shown in FIG. In this case, the image for prompting the operation of the operation button BT can also be regarded as an image to be cut in. In addition, an image prompting the user to operate the operation button BT may be displayed after cut-in of the image IG shown in FIG. When the operation button BT is used as in this another example, if the operation button BT is not operated, the resurrection effect may be performed as in the case of operating the operation button BT, or the operation button BT may be used. It is good also as development of the presentation which reaches to Drawing 11 (d) through the presentation different from the time of operating. Further, the image for prompting the operation of the operation button BT in the effect using the operation button BT may be a dedicated image to realize the resurrection effect, or the effect using the operation button BT is executed in the normal symbol variation game It may be a dual-purpose image that appears also when doing. Further, the degree of expectation of the big hit may be notified by changing the display mode of the image of the operation button BT. The image of the operation button BT in this case is an image obtained by changing the design (including shape change and color change) of the operation button BT, and an image obtained by changing the size of the image of the operation button BT. The degree of expectation may be notified.

  In addition, the alternative example described with reference to FIG. 11 can also be realized as a continuous effect in which the player is notified as to whether or not the ball entry state improvement state continues. For example, it is assumed that a jackpot capable of giving 30 times the ball entry state, a jackpot which can be awarded 50 times, and a jackpot which can be awarded 100 times. In this case, for example, when winning a big hit that can be awarded the ball entry rate improvement state 100 times, the notification effect is executed in the 30th and 50th symbol variation games, and then it is shown in FIG. Such a rebirth effect may be performed to notify that the ball entry rate improvement state continues.

  The three or more game result images RG may be provided as notification effects, and the conditions for changing the displayed game result images RG may be set in a plurality of stages. For example, the type of the game result image RG may be changed when the number of consecutive times is 10 times, and the type of the game result image RG may be changed when the number of times is 20 times.

The game result image RG in the notification effect may be displayed as either the continuous counting result or the winning ball counting result.
-In addition to displaying both the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result as in the embodiment, the game result image RG in the notification effect may display another counting result. For example, the total number of games from the satisfaction of the condition counted as the continuous counting result until the notification effect is executed may be displayed. Further, for example, the number of times the reach effect has appeared may be displayed until the notification effect is performed after the condition counted as the continuous counting result is satisfied. Note that this alternative example can be diverted to the case where only one of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result in the above other example is displayed, and for example, the continuous counting result and the other counting results are displayed. It is also possible to display the winning ball count results and other count results.

  ・ In addition to the effect by the display of the game result image RG, the notification effect includes other effects such as the light emission of the decoration lamp La, the sound output from the speaker Sp, and the operation of the effect movable body when the effect movable body is provided. Any combination may be performed.

  -In the above another example, when the notification effect is added to the display of the game result image RG and executed in combination with other effects, the target of the special aspect of the notification effect when the counting result satisfies the predetermined condition is changed You may Specifically, the target of the special aspect may be the game result image RG as in the embodiment, another effect, or both the game result image RG and the other effect.

  In addition, when the effect display device 11 of the embodiment is a main display device, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may include one or more sub-display devices in addition to the main display device. Then, the notification effect may be performed by the sub display device. In addition, if the sub display device is movable, the sub display device can be regarded as one type of effect movable body, and the notification effect may be performed in a special mode using the sub display device.

  The notification effect may be executed after the final variation of the ball entry state improvement state is finished and before the next symbol variation game is started. In this case, in the variation pattern distribution table for low probability / high base shown in FIG. 5D, the main variation pattern of out-of-the-range variation distributed to another variation pattern distribution table instead of the main variation pattern PC1x You should distribute the Further, in this alternative example, the main variation pattern dedicated to the final variation of the ball content improvement state may be distributed as the main variation pattern to be selected at the time of disconnection.

The notification effect may be performed in the ending effect of the big hit game, or may be performed after the big hit game is over and before the symbol variation game is started.
The notation of the counting result shown in the game result image RG may be changed. For example, the numerical value counted as the continuous counting result and the numerical value counting as the winning sphere counting result may be displayed as it is.

  In the notification effect, a title may be displayed according to the continuous counting result or the winning ball counting result. For example, titles such as “Apprentice” may be displayed when the continuous counting result is in the range of 1 to 3 times, and “10 consecutive kings” may be displayed when the result is more than 10 times.

  · Back up continuous counting results and final results of winning ball counting results in pachinko gaming machine 10 (that is, results when conditions to continue counting continuously end) are backed up, and these counting results during demonstration effects etc. The ranking of may be displayed. This ranking display may be automatically displayed after the transition of the demonstration effect, or may be displayed by the player operating the operation button BT or the like. Further, the ranking may be today's ranking or may be a ranking for a predetermined period (for example, weekly, monthly, etc.). Also, when a result exceeding the stored count result is obtained, it is specified as a real-time notification, for example, that the current count result exceeds the counted count result ranked in during a big hit game or the like. A possible message may be displayed on the image display unit GH. In order to realize such an effect, it is preferable to mount a backup function of the sub control board 31 and to mount an RTC (real time clock) capable of measuring date and time on the sub control board 31.

  The effect mode M1 may be set to the normal mode only, and transition to the normal mode may be made after the end of the ball entry rate improvement state. Then, even if a big hit lottery is won after the transition to the normal mode, the big hit may not be added to the targets of counting of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result. In other words, it may be the first big hit. In this case, the first jackpot to start counting the continuous counting results is the jackpot winning the jackpot lottery in the non-probability state and the non-incident rate improvement state.

  -A special mode is provided as an effect mode as a transition destination when transitioning from a pitch improvement state to a non-fill rate improvement state, but even if a big hit is made in the special mode, the big hit May be positioned as the first big hit. That is, even if the big hit lottery is won in the special mode, the result of the winning may not be reflected on the continuous counting result or the winning ball counting result.

  The effect mode that can be shifted after the notification effect is not necessarily fixed. For example, when there are a plurality of modes in which the background image HK is different in the effect mode M1, such as a mountain mode, a sea mode, a river mode, etc. The transfer destination may be selected arbitrarily. For example, the transition destinations may be in a predetermined order, or the transition destinations may be determined by lottery. That is, the mountain mode, sea mode, and river mode in this alternative example are all modes in the rendering mode M1, specifically speaking in the non-probability state and the non-incident rate improvement state (low certainty and low base) is there. For this reason, it can be said that the three modes illustrated are the same kind of effect mode in that they are modes in the non-probability changing state and the non-entering rate improvement state. Then, when the notification effect is in the normal mode and when the notification effect is in the special mode, transition to each mode may be possible.

  The winning ball counting result is not limited to the winning balls generated by entering the large winning opening 14, and adding the winning balls generated by entering the second starting opening 13 and the normal winning opening 15b during the big hit game. It may be counted. In addition, the winning ball counting result may be counted by adding the winning balls generated during the increase in the ball entering rate. In this case, since the prize ball designating command of the embodiment is configured to be able to specify the prize opening in which the prize balls are generated, the prize balls generated in a part of the prize openings are added to the prize ball counting result and counted. Alternatively, the winning balls generated at all winning openings may be added to the winning ball counting result and counted. Also, when winning balls generated at winning openings other than the big winning opening 14 are added to the winning ball counting result, the total number of winning balls generated at the high winning opening 14 and the total number of winning balls generated at other winning openings. It is also possible to divide and display.

  ・ On the premise that the notification effect is executed within the fluctuation time of the symbol variation game, the symbol variation game is a big hit depending on the notification content of the notification effect, or there is a symbol variation game that becomes a big hit in the start suspension. It may be suggested or informed to do. An effect that suggests or informs that such a big hit can be positioned as a preliminary effect. And if specifically showing the case where the advance notice effect is executed according to the notice contents of the notice effect, in the embodiment, since the game result image RG1 and the game result image RG2 are provided as the images displayed in the notice effect, For example, the notice effect may be performed by changing the background color of the game result images RG1 and RG2. Also, the display color of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result may be changed. According to this another example, the game result image RG displayed in the informing effect can be positioned not only as an image notifying the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result but also as an image for giving notice of a big hit, the effect of making an effect Can be improved.

  The notification effect may indicate or notify that there is a symbol variation game which will be a big hit in the start hold by the notification content on the premise that the notification effect is to be executed within the effect time in the predetermined effect. An effect that suggests or informs that such a big hit can be positioned as a preliminary effect. And, for example, an ending effect during a big hit game can be mentioned as a predetermined effect in this other example, and while performing a notification effect within the effect time of the ending effect, the game result image RG1 as in the other example described above , RG2 may be changed to change the background color. Also, the display color of the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result may be changed. According to this another example, the game result image RG displayed in the informing effect can be positioned not only as an image notifying the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result but also as an image for giving notice of a big hit, the effect of making an effect Can be improved.

  In the fluctuation pattern distribution table for low probability / high base shown in FIG. 5D, out-of-reach reach fluctuations capable of causing notification effects to be distributed may be distributed. In this case, only the main fluctuation pattern of the outreach reach fluctuation may be distributed, or the main fluctuation pattern of the outreach reach fluctuation may be distributed in addition to the main fluctuation pattern PC1x of the outturn fluctuation. If comprised in this way, the opportunity for a reach to be formed can be made to increase as a final change of a ball | bowl rate improvement state.

  ・ The type of jackpot may be changed. For example, in the case of providing a plurality of types of jackpots, a round game constituting a jackpot game based on each jackpot may have its opening pattern set to a time when balls are obtained. That is, the jackpot included in the pachinko gaming machine 10 may cause the jackpot game not to be equipped with the round game according to the opening pattern set to the time when the balls can not be obtained. That is, including the type of the big hit (including the opening pattern of the big hit game) in the pachinko game machine 10, the specification (spec) of the pachinko game machine 10 is not limited to the embodiment and can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the jackpot probability and the probability change transition rate can be arbitrarily changed, and the type of the main variation pattern distributed to the variation pattern distribution table can also be arbitrarily changed.

  The image display unit GH in the state of improvement in the ball entry rate may be notified of the remaining number of states in which the ball entry rate is improved. Then, by displaying the notification of the remaining number as zero at the start of the final change of the ball entering state, it can be recognized that the ending condition of the ball entering state is established. Further, the means for recognizing that the termination condition of the ball entry state improved state is satisfied is not limited to the one by image display, and may be voice output such as "last one time", for example.

  ・ During a big hit game, only the total number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game may be notified, or in addition to the total number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game, a result of counting balls may be notified together . In addition, since the total number of winning balls acquired in the big hit game is reflected in the winning ball counting result as the total number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game included in the continuous counting result, it is reset after the big hit game is over It is also good.

  The preview advance notice that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be a mode in which a specific image (a related image is preferable) is displayed on the image display unit GH across, for example, a plurality of symbol variation games.

  The background image HK displayed on the image display unit GH in the effect modes M1 to M3 can be arbitrarily changed. For example, in the case of an effect in which an ally character battles with an enemy character, such an image may be displayed as a background image HK across a plurality of symbol variation games.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 having the rendering mode, the type of the rendering mode and the transition mode of the rendering mode can be arbitrarily changed according to the type of the jackpot included in the pachinko gaming machine 10.
The transition from the special mode to the normal mode in the effect mode M1 of the embodiment may be transitioned by having won the transition to the transition in the lottery whether to shift or not. In this case, the probability of winning in the lottery may be a fixed probability or, in the case of the fixed probability, the upper limit number of times of the predetermined number of fluctuations may be the upper limit number and the mode may be forcibly shifted to the normal mode. Further, the probability of winning the lottery may be varied according to the number of times of change. For example, in the stage where the number of changes is small, the winning probability is zero or extremely low and the special mode is continued over a certain number of changes, and the winning probability is highly variable with a certain number of changes. It is also good. Also, the winning probability may be varied stepwise to a high probability.

  In the special mode of the effect mode M1 according to the embodiment, the continuous counting result or the winning ball counting result may be notified. In addition, the continuous counting result or the winning ball counting result may be notified in the state of improvement in the pitch rate.

  The power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is interrupted due to a power failure or the like during continuous counting, which is the target of the continuous counting result, and the notification effect of displaying the game result image RG is not executed if the power is restored after that. Good. Alternatively, when the notification effect is performed in the above situation, the display of the continuous counting result or the winning ball counting result can specify that it is impossible to count, such as "????", or it is unclear whether the counting is correct or not. It may be displayed. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in which the backup function is mounted on the sub control board 31, this display is applicable even when the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result are backed up. That is, the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result stored in the sub control RAM 31 c may not be displayed under the situation where the continuous counting result and the winning ball counting result may not be correct. In addition, such a situation is not limited to the time of power recovery, for example, the secondary control CPU 31a transmits control commands transmitted from the main control RAM 30c necessary for counting continuous counting results and winning balls counting results, such as a winning ball specification command. There may be a case where reception is not possible for some reason or a case where a control command is missing.

  -The winning probability may be set so as to normally win the winning lottery even during the non-incident rate improvement state. For example, when one random number can take a value of [0] to [10000], and one value is determined as the normal hit determination value, the winning probability of the normal hit lottery is 1/10000, and the same as in the embodiment. The probability is almost zero. That is, although the winning probability of the normal hit lottery in the non-incident rate improving state may be set without being limited to zero, it is assumed to be extremely low compared to the winning probability of the regular hit lottery in the ball entering state. Good thing.

  In the embodiment, the winning probability of the normal hit lottery in the non-incident rate improvement state is zero. For this reason, if the game state at the time of the normal lottery is the non-fill-in-class rate improvement state, the regular drawing fluctuation processing performs the normal out-of-hand process without performing the normal hit lottery if the game state at the time of lottery is the non-filling rate improvement state. It may be configured to perform a normal hit lottery when the ball rate is improved.

  · A sub control board 31 is a sub control board, and a display control board specialized for controlling the effect display device 11 separately from the sub control board 31, a light emission control board specialized for controlling the decoration lamp La, and a speaker Sp specialized control An audio control board may be provided. Such a sub control board and a board for controlling other effects may be included as a sub control board.

  The main control CPU 30 a of the main control substrate 30 and the sub control CPU 31 a of the sub control substrate 31 may be mounted on a single substrate. Further, in the above another example, the display control substrate, the light emission control substrate, and the sound control substrate may be arbitrarily combined to form a single substrate or a plurality of substrates.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the embodiment may be embodied in a gaming machine (a so-called 1-type 2-type mixing machine) that provides a big hit game when the gaming ball passes the specific area.
-As a pachinko gaming machine 10 equipped with a probability variation function, a specification that gives a probability variation state until winning the next big hit, a specification (tumbling machine) that gives a probability variation state until a fall lottery is won, or predetermined There is a specification (ST machine) that gives a probability fluctuation state until the number of times the symbol fluctuation game ends. In addition, pachinko gaming machines equipped with a probability variation function have specifications (V-probability variation machines) that give probability variation states when a game ball passes through a specific area. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine of any of these specifications. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be a pachinko gaming machine having a specification in which the above-described tumbler and the V-type variator are mixed.

  The symbol variation game of the first special symbol and the symbol variation game of the second special symbol may be applied to a pachinko machine that can be executed simultaneously. For example, the symbol variation game of the first special symbol may be configured to be executable when the big hit is not occurring regardless of whether the symbol variation game of the second special symbol is being executed or not. Furthermore, for example, the symbol variation game of the second special symbol may be configured to be executable when the big hit game is not occurring regardless of whether or not the symbol variation game of the first special symbol is being executed. In a pachinko gaming machine capable of simultaneously executing such a symbol variation game of the first special symbol and a symbol variation game of the second special symbol, a state (for example, a small hit RUSH) using a small hit lottery or a small hit game It may be configured to be possible. For example, the state using the small hit lottery or the small hit game may be advantageous compared to the high base state.

  The embodiment may be embodied in a reel-type gaming machine. The reel-type gaming machine (slot machine, pachislot) uses medals as gaming media, performs lottery by operating the start lever and stops the rotation of the reel by operating the stop button, according to the result of the lottery It is a gaming machine which pays out a medal as a prize when a combination is won. In the roll-to-roll type gaming machine, there are bonus games and ART games as advantageous games advantageous to the player. The ART game has an assist function of informing the order of operation of the stop button in order to win a specific combination. The ART game is awarded by winning the ART lottery, and winning the ART lottery corresponds to obtaining a lottery result that can be a trigger for causing an advantageous game. Then, the ART game is that the number of times the symbol variation game has been executed has reached a predetermined number, or that a lottery result that can trigger the termination of the ART game has been obtained (for example, the number of times the specific small winning combination has reached a predetermined number) End with) as the end condition. And, in such a roll-to-roll type gaming machine, a notification effect including the total number of gaming media (medals) acquired by the player during the ART game which is an advantageous game, or at least any counting of the number of consecutive ART games. The (game result image RG) may be executed as in the embodiment. In the case of the roll-to-roll type gaming machine, the notification effect described above may be executed during the symbol variation game in which the termination condition of the ART game is satisfied. Further, in the pivoting type gaming machine, the notification effect may be performed during a period until the next symbol variation game starts after the symbol variation game having a possibility that the ART game termination condition is satisfied starts. That is, the period includes that the notification effect is executed after the symbol variation game ends (after the medal payout process ends). In addition, when the notification effect is to be executed in the reeling type gaming machine, it is suggested or notified that the ART game may end or the ART game end condition may be established before the notification effect is performed. A presentation may be performed. The effect is, for example, an effect in which an ally character is defeated in a battle effect by an ally character and an enemy character, or an effect in which the remaining number is zero when the number of remaining times in the ART game is notified. In addition, even in the case of the roll-to-roll type gaming machine, it may be possible to create a case in which the notification effect is performed in the normal mode and a case in which the notification effect is performed in the special mode. Then, similarly to the embodiment, the effect mode after the end of the informing effect may be the same type of effect mode in the case where the informing effect is executed in the normal mode and in the case where it is performed in the special mode. In addition, the total number of game media acquired by the player in the ART game is, for example, the total number of game media acquired by the player until the ART game is ended if the game characteristics have the game count increased. In addition, the total number of game media acquired by the player in the ART game is, for example, one set of games given a predetermined number of times, and if the number of sets is added, until the game for the number of sets ends It is the total number of game media acquired by the player. In the ART game by the number of sets, after one set of ART games is over, the preparation mode is in the period until the next ART game starts, but the game media acquired in the preparation mode may be included in the total number May or may not be included. In addition, display devices, such as a liquid crystal, are mounted in the reel-type game machine, for example, and the notification effect may be performed on the display device.

Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be additionally described below.
