In detail, the inner frame 13 is pivotable forward with the left side as the pivoting base end and the right side as the pivoting tip side in front view.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front door frame 14 is rotatably supported by the inner frame 13, and can be rotated forward with the left side as the rotation base end side and the right side as the rotation tip end side in front view It is assumed. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the back pack unit 15 is rotatably supported by the inner frame 13, and when viewed from the front, the left side is the rotation base end side and the right side is the rotation tip end side. It is made movable.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking device 16 is provided at the rotating tip of the gaming machine main body 12 and the gaming machine main body 12 is locked to the outer frame 11 so as not to be openable. The front door frame 14 has a function to lock the inner door 13 in an unopenable manner. Each of these locked states is released by performing an unlocking operation on the cylinder lock 17 provided exposed on the front surface of the pachinko machine 10 using an unlocking key.

  Next, the configuration of the front side of the gaming machine body 12 will be described.

  The inner frame 13 mainly includes a resin base 21 whose outer shape is substantially the same as the outer frame 11. A substantially elliptical window hole 23 is formed in the central portion of the resin base 21. A game board 24 is removably attached to the resin base 21. The game board 24 is made of plywood, and the game area formed on the front of the game board 24 is exposed to the front side of the inner frame 13 through the window hole 23 of the resin base 21.

  Here, the configuration of the game board 24 will be described based on FIG. The gaming board 24 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in the front-rear direction by being subjected to router processing. Each opening has a general winning opening 31, a variable winning device 32, an upper operation opening (first starting entry ball or non-priority starting entry ball) 33, a lower opening (second starting entry ball or priority starting entry ball) A section 34, a through gate 35, a variable display unit 36, a main display section 43, a character display section 44 and the like are provided.

  A detection sensor (not shown) is provided on the back side of the game board 24 corresponding to each of the general winning opening 31, the variable winning device 32, the upper operating opening 33 and the lower operating opening 34, and the general winning opening 31 When the ball is entered into the variable winning device 32, the upper operation port 33 and the lower operation port 34, it is detected by the corresponding detection sensor, and a predetermined number of payout balls are paid out based on the detection result. . In this case, payout of ten gaming balls is executed when entering the general winning opening 31 occurs, and dispensing of fifteen gaming balls when entering the variable winning device 32 occurs. Is executed, the payout of three gaming balls is executed when entering the upper operation opening 33, and the payout of four gaming balls is generated when entering the lower operation opening 34. Is executed.

  In addition, an out port 37 is provided at the lowermost portion of the game board 24, and game balls which did not enter the various winning ports etc. are discharged from the game area through the out port 37. Further, on the game board 24, a large number of nails 38 are implanted to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (features) such as a windmill are disposed.

  Here, entering the ball means that the gaming ball passes through the predetermined opening, and it is discharged not only from the gaming area after passing through the opening, but also discharged from the gaming area after passing through the opening Not included. However, in the following description, the variable winning device 32, the upper operation opening 33, the lower operation opening 34 or the entry of the game ball to the through gate 35 is clearly distinguished from the entry of the game ball to the out port 37. Is also expressed as a prize.

  The upper operating opening 33 and the lower operating opening 34 are unitized as an operating opening device and installed on the game board 24. The upper operating port 33 and the lower operating port 34 are both open upward. Further, both operation ports 33 and 34 are aligned in the vertical direction, more specifically in the vertical direction, with the upper operation port 33 facing upward. The lower operating port 34 is provided with a motorized part 34a as a guide piece including a pair of left and right movable pieces.

  The motorized roll 34a will be described. The motorized role 34a has a closed state (non-supporting state or non-guide state) in which the gaming ball is hard to win in the lower operation opening 34, and an open state (supporting state or guide state) in which the gaming ball is easier to win than the closed state. Can be switched to

  The operating port case constituting the upper operating port 33 projects to the front side and has a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front, and the upper side length <the lower side length. At this time, the upper side length (i.e., the left and right width of the upper operating port 33) of the operation opening case is a length slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball, and the lower side length is the left and right in the case where the electric accessory 34a is in the closed state. The length of the motorized jack 34a is greater than the distance between the motorized jacks 34a. In addition, when the motorized accessory 34a is in the closed state, the installation interval between both the operating apertures 33 and 34 is set so that the distance between the operating port case and the upper end of the motorized accessory 34a is slightly shorter than the diameter of the gaming ball It has been adjusted.

  According to the above configuration, the gaming ball can not win in the lower operation opening 34 in the closed state of the electric accessory 34a, and winning in the lower operation opening 34 becomes possible by opening the electric bonus 34a. At this time, in the middle of the movement of the motorized part 34a from the closed state to the open state, the operating port case of the upper operating port 33 has a substantially trapezoidal shape as described above, which causes an obstacle. It is not possible to win the game ball in the lower operation opening 34 until the object 34a is sufficiently released, and it is possible to win only when the electric role piece 34a is almost fully open. That is, the game ball dropped from above hits the side surface of the operation opening case 33a and is flipped outward, and does not directly win the lower operation opening 34. As a result, when the motorized product 34a is opened in a very short time, it is extremely difficult to win the lower operating port 34, and only when the opened state of the motorized product 34a is continued, the lower operating port 34 is opened. Winning is easy.

  Furthermore, the upper operating port 33 and the lower operating port 34 are juxtaposed as described above. More specifically, the game balls having flowed upward of the operating port device when the motorized accessory 34a is in the open state because they are juxtaposed vertically are the upper operating port 33 and the lower operating port. It can be won in any of the mouth 34. In other words, it is difficult to distinguish between the winning on the upper operating opening 33 and the winning on the lower operating opening 34 depending on the operation mode of the firing handle 54 described later when the motorized part 34a is in the open state. It has become.

  In addition to the configuration in which the actuation port case of the upper actuation port 33 has a substantially trapezoidal shape as described above, the actuation port case of the upper actuation port 33 has a two-stage configuration with a narrow upper portion and a wider lower portion, or the upper actuation port 33 A substantially V-shaped guide piece may be provided on the left and right sides of the case, or an obstacle nail may be planted obliquely below the case of the operation opening.

  The variable winning device 32 has a large winning opening 32a communicating with the back side of the game board 24 and an open / close door 32b for opening and closing the large winning opening 32a. The open / close door 32b is connected to a drive unit such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 24 and is normally in a closed state where the game ball can not win or hard to win. When the transition to (the open / close execution state) is won, the game ball can be switched to a predetermined open state in which the game ball is more likely to win than the closed state.

  Here, the open / close execution mode is a mode in which transition is made when a big hit is won. The open / close execution mode will be described in detail later. As an opening aspect of the variable winning device 32, the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened with a plurality of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) as an upper limit, with a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapsed or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winnings. There is an aspect to be done.

  The main display portion 43 and the character display portion 44 are provided on the decoration member 39 disposed along the outer edge on the lower side of the game area. The decorative member 39 extends forward of the pachinko machine 10 from the board of the game board 24. More specifically, the front face of the decorative member 39 is opposed to the window panel 62 provided on the front door frame 14 to make the gaming area visible from the front of the pachinko machine 10, The distance between them is narrower than one game ball. Thereby, the game ball is prevented from falling in front of the front surface of the decorative member 39.

  A main display 43 and a character display 44 are provided so as to be exposed from the front of the decorative member 39. That is, the main display unit 43 and the display unit 44 for prizes are visible from the front of the pachinko machine 10 through the window panel 62 of the front door frame 14, and the game ball is in front of both display units 43 and 44. It is prevented from falling.

  In the round display unit RS, the display of the number of times of opening is started at the start of the opening / closing execution mode, and the display is ended at the end of the opening / closing execution mode.

  In the first result display unit AS, the variation display of the pattern is performed triggered by the winning of the upper actuation opening 33, and as a result of the stop of the fluctuation display, the internal lottery performed on the basis of the winning of the upper actuation opening 33 The results are specified by the display. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the upper operation port 33 is the winning result corresponding to the transition to the open / close execution mode, a predetermined stop result is displayed on the first result display unit AS and the fluctuation display After switching to the open / close execution mode.

  In the second result display unit BS, the variation display of the pattern is performed triggered by the winning of the lower operation opening 34, and as a result of the stop of the variation display, the internal lottery performed based on the winning of the lower operation opening 34 The results are specified by the display. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning in the lower operation port 34 is the winning result corresponding to the transition to the open / close execution mode, the second result display unit BS displays the predetermined stop result and displays the variation After switching to the open / close execution mode.

  Here, based on the winning on any of the operation openings 33, 34, the variable display is started on the corresponding result display units AS, BS, and a predetermined stop result is displayed until the variable display is stopped. It corresponds to one game play. However, one game round is not limited to the above-mentioned contents, for example, a single result display unit is provided, and even if winning is generated in any operation opening 33, 34, the single In the configuration in which the variable display is performed in the result display unit, the variable display is started in the single result display unit, and the game is repeated until the variable display is stopped in a state in which the predetermined stop result is displayed. And once.

  The prize display 44 is a display for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on the winning on the through gate 35. In this case, the prize display unit 44 uses the winning on the through gate 35 as a trigger to perform variable display of the pattern, and as a result of stopping the variable display, an internal lottery performed based on the winning on the through gate 35 The result of is clearly indicated by the display. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning on the through gate 35 is the winning result corresponding to the shift to the electronic part opening state, a predetermined stopping result is displayed on the role display 44 and the fluctuation display After being stopped, shift to the open state. In the open state, the motorized accessory 34a provided in the lower operation port 34 is opened in a predetermined manner.

  Although the main display unit 43 and the character display unit 44 are configured by a segment display device having a plurality of segments, the present invention is not limited to this, and other display devices such as a liquid crystal display device may be used. It is also good.

  The power failure monitoring board 205 relays the main control board 201 and the power supply and emission control device 98, and monitors the voltage of the DC stable 24 volts which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply and emission control device 98. The payout control device 97 performs payout control of the winning balls and the rental balls by the payout device 96 based on the winning ball command input from the main control device 81.

  The power supply and launch control device 98 is connected to, for example, a commercial power supply (external power supply) in a game arcade or the like. Then, based on the external power supplied from the commercial power supply, the main control board 201, the payout control device 97, and the like generate necessary operation power for each, and the generated operation power is supplied through a predetermined power path. Do. Further, the power supply and launch control device 98 is responsible for the launch control of the game ball launch mechanism 53, and the game ball launch mechanism 53 is driven when predetermined launch conditions are satisfied.

  The MPU 302 is mounted on the sound emission control substrate 301 provided in the sound emission control device 300.

<About various counters>
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described.

  The MPU 202 uses a variety of counter information during game play to set a jackpot occurrence lottery, setting of display of the main display unit 43, setting of symbol display of the symbol display device 41, setting of display of the symbol display unit 44, and the like. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the jackpot random number counter C1 used for lottery of jackpot occurrence, the jackpot type counter C2 used when determining the jackpot type, and the symbol display device 41 deviates out Reach random number counter C3 used for the reach lottery, random number initial value counter CINI used for setting the initial value of the big hit random number counter C1, the first result display unit AS and the second result display unit BS of the main display unit 43, and the symbol The variation type counter CS for determining the variation display time on the display device 41 is used. Furthermore, the electric combination release counter C4 used in the drawing of whether or not the electric combination 34a of the lower operation opening 34 is in the electric combination release state is used. The counters C1 to C3, CINI, CS, and C4 are provided in the lottery counter area 231 of the RAM 204.

  Each of the counters C1 to C3, CINI, CS, and C4 is a loop counter in which 1 is added to the previous value each time it is updated, and reaches a maximum value and returns to 0. Each counter is updated at short intervals. The updated value is appropriately stored in the RAM 204 based on the fact that the gaming ball has won the respective operation openings 33, 34.

  Here, the configuration of the holding ball storage area 232 will be described.

  The first result display area reserve area Ra stores the values of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 in time series in accordance with the winning history of the gaming ball to the upper operation opening 33 It is a reserved area for In addition, the second result display area reserve area Rb time-series each value of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 in accordance with the winning history of the gaming ball to the lower operation opening 34. It is a reserved area for storing. Here, since the first result display unit reserve area Ra and the second result display unit reserve area Rb have the same configuration, the first result display unit of the both reserve areas Ra and Rb will be described below. The configuration of the reserved area Ra will be described.

  The first result display unit holding area Ra is configured of four storage areas, ie, the first area to the fourth area, and the number-of-holds storage area. Each storage area includes a storage area for storing the value of the big hit random number counter C1, a storage area for storing the value of the big hit type counter C2, and a storage area for storing the value of the reach random number counter C3. It is configured. By the four storage areas of the first to fourth areas, the winning history of the gaming ball to the upper operation opening 33 is reserved and stored up to four at maximum.

  In addition, in the holding ball storage area 232, the number of holdings for storing information of the number of the sum of the number of holdings in the holding area Ra for the first result display unit and the holding number in the holding area Rb for the second result display unit. An area CR is provided.

  The respective counters will be described in detail.

  First, the motorized product release counter C4 will be described. For example, the motor-operated combination release counter C4 is configured to be incremented by one in order within the range of 0 to 250, and to return to zero after reaching the maximum value. The motorized jack release counter C4 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold combination area 233 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the through gate 35. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the motorized jack 34a is to be controlled to the open state by the value of the stored motorized jack release counter C4.

  Here, in the present pachinko machine 10, a plurality of types of support modes are set such that the modes of support by the motorized role 34a are different from each other. Specifically, in the support mode, when compared in the situation where the firing of the game ball is continued in the same manner with respect to the game area, the electric role 34a of the lower operation opening 34 is opened per unit time. The low frequency support mode (or the low frequency guide state) and the high frequency support mode (or the high frequency guide state) are set such that the frequency of occurrence is relatively high and low.

  In the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode, the probability of being in the open position in the electric combination release lottery in the electric combination release lottery using the electric combination release counter C4 is the same (for example, both are 4/5) In the high frequency support mode, the number of times the motorized part 34a is released when the electronic component is released is set more frequently than in the low frequency support mode, and one open time is set longer. ing. In this case, in the high frequency support mode, when the electric work open state is elected and the open state of the motorized accessory 34a occurs a plurality of times, closing from the end of one open state to the start of the next open state The time is set shorter than one open time. Furthermore, in the high-frequency support mode, the securing time minimumly secured when the next electric combination opening lottery is performed after the one electric combination opening lottery is performed rather than the low frequency support mode (ie, One fluctuation display time in the symbol display 44 is set to be short.

  As described above, in the high frequency support mode, the probability that the lower operating port 34 will be winning is higher than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, the probability of winning in the upper operation port 33 is higher than in the lower operation port 34, but in the high frequency support mode, the lower operation port 34 to the lower operation port 34. The probability of winning will increase. Then, when the lower operation opening 34 has a winning, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out, so in the high-frequency support mode, the player plays a game while not reducing his ball much be able to.

  The configuration for increasing the frequency with which the high-frequency support mode is to be in the open state per unit time than in the low-frequency support mode is not limited to the above-described one. It is also possible to increase the probability of being in the electronic combination open state winning state in. In addition, a securing time (for example, based on the winning on the through gate 35) is secured on the occasion where the next electric combination opening lottery is performed after the one electric combination opening lottery is performed (for example In the configuration where multiple types of variable display to be executed are prepared, the high frequency support mode is set so that the short securing time is easier to be selected or the average securing time is shorter than the low frequency support mode. It may be done. Furthermore, the number of times of opening is increased, the opening time is lengthened, and the securing time secured upon the execution of the next electric combination opening lottery after the one electric combination opening lottery is performed is shortened. The advantage of the high frequency support mode over the low frequency support mode may be enhanced by applying any one condition or any combination of conditions among the shortening of the average securing time and the increase of the winning probability. .

  Next, the jackpot random number counter C1 will be described. For example, the jackpot random number counter C1 is sequentially incremented by 1 within the range of 0 to 599, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. In particular, when the big hit random number counter C1 makes one revolution, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the big hit random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the large hitting random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599).

  The jackpot random number counter C1 is periodically updated, and is stored in the holding ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the gaming ball has won the upper operating opening 33 or the lower operating opening 34. More specifically, the game ball is stored in the first result display area holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball has won in the upper operation port 33, and the second result display area of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball has won in the lower operation port 34. It is stored in the reserved area Rb.

  The value of the random number for winning the jackpot is stored as a yes / no table (winning information group) in a yes / no table storage area 222 as a yes / no information group storage unit in the ROM 203. Here, the contents of the success or failure table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, as the success / failure table, the success / failure table (low probability success / failure information group) for the low probability mode of FIG. 7A and the success / failure table for high probability mode of FIG. Probability pass / fail information group) is set. That is, in the pachinko machine 10, the low probability mode (low probability state) and the high probability mode (high probability state) are set as the lottery modes in the hit / fall lottery means.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the value of the random number for the jackpot win is two under the gaming state in which the low probability mode success / failure table is referred to at the time of the lottery. On the other hand, under the gaming state where the high probability mode pass / fail table is referred to at the time of the lottery, as shown in FIG. 7B, the number of random numbers for winning a big hit is 21. In this case, the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is jackpotted in the low probability mode is included in the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is jackpotted in the high probability mode.

  In addition, if the winning probability in the high probability mode is higher than that in the low probability mode, the number and value of the random numbers to be won are arbitrary, and the jackpot random number that is a big hit in the situation in the low probability mode. The value group of the counter C1 may or may not be partially included in the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is the jackpot winning state in the high probability mode.

  In addition, in each lottery mode, the lottery result is out of the result except for the random number which is the big hit, but in this pachinko machine 10, as the out result, the special out result (small hit result) and the outlier normally And 2 types are set. The special out result and the normal out result do not trigger transition to the pass / fail lottery mode or the support mode, but the special out result becomes the transition to the open / close execution mode, whereas the out normal result goes to the open / close execution mode It is not an opportunity for

  Next, the jackpot type counter C2 will be described. The jackpot type counter C2 is configured to be sequentially incremented by one within the range of 0 to 29 and to return to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The jackpot type counter C2 is periodically updated, and is stored in the holding ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the gaming ball has won in the upper operating opening 33 or the lower operating opening 34. More specifically, the game ball is stored in the first result display area holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball has won in the upper operation port 33, and the second result display area of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball has won in the lower operation port 34. It is stored in the reserved area Rb.

  The distribution destination of the game result for the jackpot type counter C2 is stored as a distribution table (distribution information group) in a distribution table storage area 223 as distribution information group storage means in the ROM 203. The contents of the distribution table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, as a distribution table, a distribution table (first distribution information group) for the first result display unit of FIG. 8 (a) and a second result display unit of FIG. 8 (b) A distribution table (second distribution information group) is set.

  The distribution table for the first result display unit corresponds to the hold information shifted from the hold area Ra for the first result display unit to the execution area AE, that is, the hold information acquired based on the winning of the upper operation port 33. Is a table to be referred to when the distribution lottery is performed. Also, the distribution table for the second result display unit is the hold information shifted from the hold area Rb for the second result display unit to the execution area AE, that is, the hold information acquired based on the winning on the lower operation opening 34. It is a table referred to when distribution lottery is performed.

  In the distribution table for the first result display section, as shown in FIG. 8A, as the distribution destination of the game result, the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result, RU (rank up) probability variation jackpot result A RU (rank up) positive variation big hit result B, RU (rank up) positive variation big hit result C, normal big hit result, special probability variation big hit result and most advantageous big hit result are set. In the distribution table for the second result display unit, as shown in FIG. 8B, as a distribution destination of the game results, RU probability variation jackpot result A, RU probability variation jackpot result B, RU probability variation jackpot result C, normal jackpot As a result, the special probability big hit result and the most advantageous big hit result are set.

  The above game results are (1) a mode of opening and closing control of the variable winning device 32 in the opening and closing execution mode, (2) a lottery mode in the lottery means after completion of the opening and closing execution mode, and (3) lower operation after the opening and closing execution mode ends There is a difference in at least one of the four conditions of the support mode in the motorized accessory 34a of the mouth 34 and the display mode of the symbol display device 41 in each game time after the opening / closing execution mode ends.

  Each of the game results will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is an explanatory view of each game result.

  First, the open / close execution mode of (1) in each game result will be described.

  As the opening / closing execution mode, the round number regulation mode in which the round game is executed with the predetermined number of round games as the upper limit, and the round game is not set, and based on the variable winning device 32 opening and closing times becoming the upper limit number. The switching number regulation mode to be ended is set. A transition is made to the round number specification mode based on one of the jackpot results, and a transition to the switching number specification mode is made based on the outlier result. Here, in the round game, one of the conditions is that a predetermined upper limit continuation time (upper limit continuation period) elapses, and that a predetermined upper limit number of gaming balls wins in the large winning opening 32a. It is a game that continues until the condition is satisfied. In addition, in a single opening mode of the big winning opening 32a, a short time mode in which the big winning opening 32a is opened for a short time (specifically, 0.17 sec) and a long winning opening 32a for a long time (specifically, 30 sec) The long time mode to open is set.

  The implicit probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result and the exceptional result are game results in which the large winning opening 32a is opened twice in a short time manner. In addition, RU probability variation big hit result A opens big winning opening 32a in long time mode 5 times, RU probability variation big hit result B, normal big hit result and special probability variation big hit result, big winning opening 32a 10 times in long time feature The RU probability variation big hit result C and the most advantageous big hit result are game results of opening the big winning opening 32a 15 times in a long time mode. Thus, in each game result, the control mode of the variable winning device 32 in the opening / closing execution mode is different in one of the opening mode of the large winning opening 32a and the number of opening and closing times (round number) of the large winning opening 32a. ing.

  Next, the lottery mode of (2) in each game result will be described.

  The jackpot result other than the normal jackpot result is a game result in which the lottery mode is set to the high probability mode after the opening / closing execution mode regardless of the lottery mode before the opening / closing execution mode. In detail, the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the RU probability variation jackpot result A, B, C, the special probability variation jackpot result and the most advantageous jackpot result, the lottery mode after the switching execution mode is set to the high probability mode Game results. The high probability mode is continued at least until a jackpot is won in the lottery. The normal jackpot result is a game result in which the lottery mode after the open / close execution mode is set to the low probability mode.

  Next, the support mode (3) in each game result will be described.

  The implicit probability variation jackpot result is a game result in which the support mode before the open / close execution mode is maintained as it is. In this case, the support mode before the open / close execution mode is the high-frequency support mode, and the low-frequency support mode when the high-frequency support mode reaches the termination reference number (specifically, 45 times to 100 times). If it is a high frequency support mode with a limited number of times to transition to the high frequency support mode, the number of times is maintained until the jackpot is won at least in a winning lottery, and a transition is made to a high frequency support mode without limit. The end reference number will be described in detail later. Further, the explicit probability variation jackpot result and the most advantageous jackpot result are gaming results in which the support mode becomes the frequent support mode with no limit after the opening / closing execution mode, regardless of the support mode before the opening / closing execution mode.

  Each RU probability variation big hit result A, B, C, normal big hit result and special probability variation big hit result, the game results in which the support mode becomes the high frequency support mode after the opening and closing execution mode regardless of the support mode before the opening and closing execution mode It is. However, the high-frequency support mode is a high-frequency support mode with a limited number of transitions to the low-frequency support mode when the number of games reaches the end reference frequency after the transition. The end reference number of times is set by lottery in high frequency game number setting processing (step S1319) of the MPU 202 described later.

  In (2) and (3), the special out result is a game result in which neither the lottery mode nor the support mode changes between before and after the open / close execution mode as described above.

  Next, the display mode of the symbol display device 41 of (4) will be described.

  In the pachinko machine 10, a plurality of types of display modes are set as display contents of the symbol display device 41 in each game run. Specifically, a first display mode, a second display mode and a third display mode are set. First, the display contents of the symbol display device 41 of each game play in the first display mode will be described based on FIG. FIG. 10 is a view showing a display screen G of the symbol display device 41 in the first display mode.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, on the display screen G of the symbol display device 41, three symbol rows Z1, Z2, and Z3 of the upper, middle and lower rows are set. In each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the main symbols and the sub symbols are arranged in a predetermined order. Specifically, in the upper symbol row Z1, nine types of main symbols from "1" to "9" are arranged in descending numerical order, and one sub-symbol is arranged between each main symbol . In the lower figure pattern row Z3, nine types of main symbols of "1" to "9" are arranged in the ascending order of the numbers, and one sub-symbol is arranged between each main symbol. That is, the upper pattern row Z1 and the lower pattern row Z3 are formed of 18 symbols. On the other hand, in the middle symbol row Z2, nine main symbols of "1" to "9" are arranged in ascending order of numbers, and then between the main symbol of "9" and the main symbol of "1" The main symbols of "4" are additionally arranged in each, and one sub-symbol is arranged between each of these main symbols. That is, only in the middle symbol row Z2, ten main symbols are arranged and are configured by twenty symbols. Then, on the display screen G, the symbols of each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are displayed so as to scroll in a predetermined direction with periodicity. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the display screen G is such that three symbols are stopped and displayed for each symbol row, and as a result, a total of nine symbols of 3 × 3 are stopped and displayed. It is supposed to be

  Further, on the display screen G, five effective lines, that is, a left line L1, a middle line L2, a right line L3, a right downward line L4, and a right upward line L5 are set. Then, the variable display stops in the order of upper symbol row Z1 → lower symbol row Z3 → middle symbol row Z2, and the same number (specifically, "3..3..3" or "7") is displayed on any valid line.・ If variation display of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is finished in the state that combination of symbols with 7. 7 ") is formed, big hit animation is displayed as occurrence of the most advantageous big hit result There is. In addition, if variation display of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is completed in a state in which a combination of symbols having the same number with an odd number other than the above specific number is formed on any valid line, any RU A big hit moving picture is displayed as the occurrence of the probability variation big hit results A, B, C. And if the variation display of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is finished in the state that the combination of the symbols given the same number of even numbers is formed in any effective line, the occurrence of the normal jackpot result or the special probability variation jackpot result As a big hit animation is displayed. If the variation display of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is finished in a state where a combination of symbols given a specific combination of numbers (specifically, "3.4.1") is formed on any effective line The video is displayed as the occurrence of an implicit definite jackpot result, an explicit definite jackpot result, or an exceptional result.

  Next, the display contents of the symbol display device 41 of each game play in the second display mode and the third display mode will be described based on FIG. 11 (a) to 11 (f) are diagrams showing the display screen G of the symbol display device 41 of each game run.

  The second display mode is the game time after the open / close execution mode based on any of the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the RU probability variation jackpot result A, B, C, the normal jackpot result, the special probability variation jackpot result and the most advantageous jackpot result Is displayed. In the second display mode, as shown in FIG. 11A, the girl's character and the enemy's character are displayed on the display screen G. The girl's character and the enemy's character are in a hostile relationship, facing each other as they scatter sparks. In each game session, an anti-counterfeit effect is performed as a variable display in which the appearance of the girl's character and the enemy's character facing each other is displayed from various angles.

  If it becomes a specific game time, as shown in FIG. 11B, a confrontation effect in which the character of the girl and the character of the enemy are confronted is displayed. The confrontation effect is, for example, an effect in which a situation in which a girl character and an enemy character fight with a sword or magic is displayed. When the game result of the specific game time is the game result of shifting to the open / close execution mode in which the variable winning device 32 is controlled to open / close in a long time mode, that is, RU probability variation big hit result A, B, C, usually big hit result, If the game result is one of the special probability variation big hit result and the most advantageous big hit result, after the above confrontation effect is displayed, as shown in FIG. Is displayed. The victory effect is, for example, an effect in which a girl character is surrounded by dazzling light and congratulations on victory are displayed. Further, when the confrontation effect is started under the conditions other than the above game result, after the confrontation effect, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), a defeat effect in which the girl character loses to the enemy character is displayed . The defeat effect is, for example, an effect in which a girl character is saddened by defeat. That is, it can be said that the confrontation effect is an effect in which the contents of the subsequent effects are different according to the branch of the confrontation between the two characters.

  In addition, in the game times corresponding to any of the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result and the special outlier result, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), unlike the above-mentioned confrontation effect, the lottery mode has a high probability mode The reinforcement effect is displayed as an effect that suggests that there is a possibility of shifting to the. The reinforcement effect is, for example, an effect in which a reinforcement effect for acquiring an item that is easy to win in the confrontation effect is displayed. Furthermore, in the game session corresponding to the normal deviation result, the development effect is displayed as the effect indicating the possibility that the confrontation effect will occur, in addition to the above-mentioned counter effect by lottery. Although not shown, the development effect is, for example, an effect of displaying a state in which the expression of one of the characters is zoomed up to give a feeling. This development effect is always displayed in the game session where the confrontation effect or the reinforcement effect is performed.

  The third display mode is the game time after the opening / closing execution mode based on the implicit probability variation big hit result and the special outlier result is ended, or after the predetermined number of games after executing the confrontation effect that becomes the defeat effect in the second display mode It is displayed in the game time of. In the third display mode, a girl's character is displayed on the display screen G as shown in FIG. The girl character is waiting for confrontation with the enemy character. In each game session, a standby effect of displaying the state of the girl's character waiting from various angles is performed as a variable display. And, in the game times corresponding to any game results of RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C, special big hit results, special probability variation big hit results and most advantageous big hit results, the above-mentioned second Similar to the display mode, a confrontation effect is displayed, and a victory effect in which the girl character beats the enemy is displayed. In addition, in the game times corresponding to the game results of any of the game results of the game times, the explicit probability variation big hit results, the explicit probability variation big hit results and the special out results, as in the second display mode described above, the reinforcement effect is Is displayed. Further, in the game session corresponding to the normal deviation result, a development effect is displayed in addition to the above standby effect by lottery. As in the second display mode, this development effect is always displayed in the game session where the confrontation effect or the reinforcement effect is performed.

  In addition, the aspect of the variation display of the symbols in the symbol display device 41 is not limited to the above and is arbitrary, the number of symbol rows, the direction of the variation display of the symbols in the symbol rows, the number of symbols of each symbol row, The characters, the display method of the characters, the contents of the confrontation effect, the contents of the reinforcement effect, the contents of the development effect, and the like can be changed as appropriate.

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. 8, in the distribution table for the first result display unit, among the values of the big hit type counter C2 of “0 to 29”, “0 to 2” corresponds to the implicit probability variation big hit result "3 to 5" corresponds to the explicit probability variation jackpot result, "6 to 8" corresponds to the RU probability variation jackpot result A, and "9 to 11" corresponds to the RU probability variation jackpot result B "12 to 14" corresponds to RU probability variation big hit result C, "15 to 19" usually corresponds to big hit result, "20 to 24" corresponds to special probability variation big hit result, " 25-29 "corresponds to the most advantageous jackpot result.

  In the distribution table for the second result display unit, as shown in FIG. 8B, among the values of the big hit type counter C2 of “0 to 29”, “0 to 4” corresponds to the RU probability variation big hit result A "5 to 9" corresponds to RU probability variation big hit result B, "10 to 14" corresponds to RU probability variation big hit result C, "15 to 19" usually corresponds to big hit results “20-24” corresponds to the special probability variation jackpot result, and “25-29” corresponds to the most advantageous jackpot result.

  That is, the probability that one of the probability variation jackpot results is 25/30 in the distribution table for the first result display unit and 25/30 in the distribution table for the second result display unit, and the same probability It has become. On the other hand, the implicit probability variation jackpot result and the explicit probability variation jackpot result are included in the distribution table for the first result display unit and are not included in the distribution table for the second result display unit. Further, as described above, in the low frequency support mode, it is easier to win the upper operation port 33 than in the lower operation port 34, and in the high frequency support mode, it is easier to win the lower operation port 34 than the upper operation port 33. Therefore, regardless of the level of the support mode, the probability of becoming a jackpot win will be the same, but the rate of transition to the open / close execution mode in which the open / close control is performed in a long time mode is higher in the high frequency support mode. This makes it possible to further increase the advantage of the frequent support mode.

  Returning to the explanation of the various counters, the reach random number counter C3 is configured to be sequentially incremented by one within the range of 0 to 238, for example, and returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and is stored in the holding ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the gaming ball is won in the upper operating port 33 or the lower operating port 34. More specifically, the game ball is stored in the first result display area holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball has won in the upper operation port 33, and the second result display area of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball has won in the lower operation port 34. It is stored in the reserved area Rb. Then, in the first display mode, it is determined whether or not to generate a reach based on the reach table stored in the reach table storage area 224 of the ROM 203. However, in the game session to shift to the open / close execution mode, the MPU 202 determines the reach occurrence regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3. Further, in the second display mode or the third display mode, based on the development effect table stored in the development effect table storage area 225 of the RON 203, the development effect indicating the possibility of developing into confrontation effect or reinforcement effect is generated It is decided to decide whether or not to However, in the game session to shift to the open / close execution mode, the MPU 202 determines the generation of the development effect regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3.

  Reach display (reach state) is provided with a symbol display device 41 capable of performing variable display (or variable display) of a symbol (pattern), and the stop display result after the variable display is the game time in the opening / closing execution mode. In the game machine that is the special display result, the fluctuation tends to be the special display result at the stage before the stop display result is derived and displayed after the variable display (or variable display) of the symbol (pattern) in the symbol display device 41 is started. The display state to make the player think that the display state.

  In other words, in the first display mode, the special winning opening 32a is displayed for a long time by stopping and displaying the symbols for a part of the plurality of symbol rows displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 41. It is a display state that displays the combination of reach symbols that the combination of jackpot symbols may be established corresponding to the occurrence of open / close execution mode to open and close in, and performs variable display of symbols in the remaining symbol row in that state. . Further, in the second display mode and the third display mode, the development effect is developed from the development effect to the confrontation effect on the display screen of the symbol display device 41, corresponding to the occurrence of the open / close execution mode for opening / closing the big winning opening 32a in a long time mode. It is a display state that displays that there is a possibility of winning effect.

  More specifically, in the first display mode, the big winning opening 32a is on the preset effective line in the display screen of the symbol display device 41 for a long time as a step prior to ending the variable display of the symbol. A reach line is formed by stopping and displaying a combination of reach symbols that may be a combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the open / close execution mode opened and closed in the final state under the situation where the reach line is formed The variation display of symbols is performed by the stop symbol row.

  If the display contents of FIG. 10 are specifically explained, first, in the state where the variation display of symbols is finished in symbol row Z1 of the upper row and the variation display of symbols is finished in symbol row Z3 of the lower row further, any of them is effective A reach line is formed by stopping display of the main symbols with the same number attached to the lines L1 to L5, and the variation display of symbols is performed in the middle row of the symbol row Z2 in a situation where the reach line is formed. It becomes a reach indication by being treated. And, when there is an open / close execution mode in which the special winning opening 32a opens and closes in a long time mode, the main symbol with the same number as the main symbol forming the reach line is stopped and displayed on the reach line , And the variation display of symbols in the middle row of symbol row Z2 is ended. In addition, as the variable indication of game times corresponding to any of the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result and the special outlier result, the reach indication is executed as described above, which is different from the main symbol forming the reach line The main symbols with numbers are stopped on the reach line (i.e., out of reach display), and then the upper, middle, and lower symbol rows re-fluctuate, and the combination of the above specific symbols is finally stopped.

  The contents of the development effect in the second display mode and the third display mode will be described later.

  In the reach display, while the combination of reach symbols is displayed as described above, fluctuation display of symbols is performed in the remaining symbol rows, and a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on the background screen. What performs a reach effect is included by displaying a predetermined character etc. as a moving image in the substantially whole display screen, after reducing or displaying the thing of performing a reduction and the combination of a reach symbol reduced. In addition, when reach display is performed or before advance display, it is determined whether to display advance notice using a predetermined image such as a predetermined character using reach random number counter C3 or another counter. May be

<About various processes executed by main controller 81>
Next, timer interrupt processing and normal processing executed when the MPU 202 in the main control device 81 advances the game at each gaming time will be described. In addition to the timer interrupt process and the normal process, the MPU 202 executes an NMI interrupt process activated by the main process activated upon power on and the input of a power failure signal to the NMI terminal (non-maskable terminal). Description of these processes is omitted.

<Timer interrupt processing>
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing. This processing is started up periodically (for example, in a cycle of 2 msec) by the MPU 202.

  In step S101 in the timer interrupt process, the reading process is executed. In the reading process, the states of various switches connected to the main control device 81 are read, and the states of the switches are determined to store detection information (winning detection information).

  After the reading process is performed in step S101, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, after the process of adding 1 to the numerical information of the random number initial value counter CINI is executed, the process of overwriting the read source counter is executed, and when it reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0".

  In the subsequent step S103, the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the electric character release counter C4 are updated. Specifically, after the process of adding 1 to the numerical information of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3 and the motorized product release counter C4, respectively, the process of overwriting the read source counter is executed. When the maximum value is reached, clear it to "0".

  Thereafter, in step S104, a winning process for the operating openings is performed in conjunction with the winning of the operating openings 33, 34. In the subsequent step S105, after execution of a through winning process accompanying the winning on the through gate 35, the timer interrupt process is ended. In the through winning process, when the winning on the through gate 35 has occurred, the number of bonus item holding memories stored in the electronic book holding area 233 is less than the upper limit number (for example, “4”) Under the condition, the value of the motorized jack release counter C4 updated in the step S103 is stored in the electric power holding area 233. In addition, the processing for lighting the third holding lamp unit 47 corresponding to the number of bonus holding memories with respect to the sound emission control device 300 is executed.

  The winning process for the upper operating opening in step S104 will be described below.

<Prize process for operation port>
First, the winning process for the operation port will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S201, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won the upper actuation opening 33 (start winning). If the upper operation port 33 is a prize, in step S202, the number of the hold information stored in the first result display holding area Ra is grasped, and the grasped number is stored in the first start reservation memory. Set as number RaN. After that, the process after step S205 is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has not won the upper operation opening 33, it is determined in step S203 whether the game ball has won the lower operation opening 34 (start winning). . If the lower operation opening 34 has not been won, the present winning process ends. If the lower operation port 34 is a prize, the number of the hold information stored in the second result display area Rb is grasped in step S204, and the grasped number is stored in the second start reservation memory. Set as number RbN. After that, the process after step S205 is executed.

  In step S205, it is determined whether the number of start reserve memories N (RaN or RbN) set in step S202 or step S204 described above is less than the upper limit (4 in the present embodiment). If the start pending storage number N is the upper limit value, the winning process is ended as it is. If the start pending storage number N is less than the upper limit value, the start pending storage number N of the corresponding result display section pending area is updated so as to increase by 1 in step S206.

  In the following step S207, the respective values of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in the step S103 are stored in the first storage area of the free storage area of the corresponding result display holding area. That is, it stores in the storage area corresponding to the number of pending storage updated in step S206.

  That is, when the first start storage number RaN is set, the values of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in the step S103 are used for the first result display unit. The first storage area of the free storage areas of the reserve area Ra, ie, the storage area corresponding to the first start reserve storage number RaN updated in step S206, is stored.

  When the second start reserve storage number RbN is set, the values of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 are used for the second result display unit. The storage area corresponding to the first storage area among the free storage areas of the reserve area Rb, that is, the second start reserve storage number RbN updated in step S206, is stored.

  After executing the processing of step S207, the present winning processing ends. In addition, when the process of step S207 is performed, the process for making the 1st pending | holding lamp part 45 or the 2nd pending | holding lamp part 46 corresponding to the start pending storage number with respect to the sound emission control apparatus 300 is performed. Do.

<Normal processing>
Next, the flow of the normal processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The normal process is a process that is started after the main process that is activated in response to the power-on is performed. In the normal process, the main process of the game is performed. As an outline thereof, the processing of steps S301 to S307 is executed as a periodic processing of 4 msec cycle, and the counter updating processing of steps S309 and S310 is executed with the remaining time.

  In the normal process, in step S301, output data such as a command set in the timer interrupt process or the previous normal process is transmitted to each control device on the sub side. Specifically, it determines the presence or absence of a winning ball command, and if the winning ball command is set, it sends it to the payout control device 97. In addition, when rendering commands such as a hold command, a change command, a type command, a change end command, a low frequency command, a high frequency command, and various display commands are set, they are sent to the voice emission control device 300 Send.

  Next, in step S302, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, after the current numerical value information is read out from the corresponding counter of the RAM 204 and the read out numerical value information is incremented by one, the process of overwriting the counter at the read source is executed. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0".

  In the subsequent step S303, the winning ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 97 are read. Thereafter, in step S304, game number control processing for controlling the game in each game number is executed. In this game number control process, jackpot determination, setting of variation display of symbols by the symbol display device 41, display control of the result display portions AS and BS on the side of performing variation display, and the like are performed. Details of the game number control process will be described later.

  Thereafter, in step S305, a first gaming state transition process is executed to shift the gaming state. Although the details will be described later, in the first game state transition processing, the game state is shifted to the open / close execution mode, or the high probability mode, the high frequency support mode or the like is set when the open / close execution mode is ended.

  In step S306, a second gaming state transition process for transitioning the gaming state is executed. Although the details will be described later, after the opening / closing execution mode is ended and the high frequency support mode and the second display mode are set by the second gaming state transition processing, the low frequency support mode is set or the third display mode is set. Do.

  In the following step S307, a process for supporting the combination for driving and controlling the motorized part 34a provided in the lower operation port 34 is performed. In this electronic-support-support process, it is determined whether or not the motorized combination 34a is in the open state, and display control of the combination display 44 is performed. In this case, as described above, since the high frequency support mode and the low frequency support mode are set in the pachinko machine 10, the support mode currently set is grasped, and based on the result of the grasp, the motorized part is Perform drive control of 34a.

  In the following step S308, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next normal processing has come, that is, whether a predetermined time (4 msec in the present embodiment) has elapsed from the start of the previous normal processing. Then, the update of the random number initial value counter CINI and the variation type counter CS is repeatedly executed within the remaining time until the execution timing of the next normal process (steps S309 and S310). That is, in step S309, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, the random number initial value counter CINI is read out, and a process of adding one to the read out numerical value information is executed, and then a process of overwriting the counter of the read source is executed. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0". In step S310, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, the variation type counter CS is read, and a process of adding one to the read out numerical information is executed, and then a process of overwriting the counter of the read source is executed. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0".

  Here, since the execution time of each process of steps S301 to S307 changes according to the state of the game, the remaining time until the execution timing of the next normal process is not constant but fluctuates. Therefore, it is possible to randomly update the random number initial value counter CINI (that is, the initial value of the big hit random number counter C1) by repeatedly executing the update of the random number initial value counter CINI using such remaining time. The variation type counter CS can also be updated at random.

<Game times control processing>
Next, the game number control process of step S304 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  In the game number control process shown in FIG. 15, it is first determined in step S401 whether the open / close execution mode is in progress. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode flag is stored in the open / close execution mode flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 234 of the RAM 204. The opening / closing execution mode flag is stored when the gaming state is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode in the gaming state transition processing described later, and is deleted when ending the opening / closing execution mode in the gaming state transition processing.

  When in the opening / closing execution mode, the main game is performed without executing the processing of step S402 and subsequent processing, that is, the processing for starting the game play of step S402 to step S405 and the processing of the game play progression for step S406 to step S410. End the control process. That is, when in the open / close execution mode, the game play is not started regardless of whether or not a winning on the operation openings 33 and 34 has occurred.

  If the open / close execution mode is not in effect, it is determined in step S402 whether or not the main display unit 43 is displaying variable. Note that this determination is performed by determining whether or not the variable display flag storage area is stored in the variable display flag storage area in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204. The variation display flag is stored when the variation display is started on the main display unit 43, and is erased when the variation display is ended.

  If the main display unit 43 is not in the variable display mode, the process proceeds to the processing for starting the game play of steps S403 to S405. In the game number start process, first, in step S403, it is determined whether the number of reserved memories CRN is "0". The case where the number of pending storages CRN is “0” means that the pending information is not stored in the pending ball storage area 232. Therefore, the game number control process ends.

  If the number of pending storages CRN is not "0", data setting processing is executed in step S404. In the data setting process, it is judged whether or not the second start pending number RbN held in the second result display section pending area Rb is "0", and the second start pending number RbN is "0". In this case, the data setting process for the first result display unit is performed, and when the second start reservation number RbN is not “0”, the data setting process for the second result display unit is performed. That is, when the hold information is stored in both of the first result display unit reserved area Ra and the second result display unit reserved area Rb, the second result display unit reserved area corresponding to the lower operation opening 34 The hold information stored in Rb is prioritized.

  In the data setting process for each result display unit, first, the corresponding start pending storage number RaN is decremented by one, and the common pending number CRN is decremented by one. Also, the data stored in the first holding area of the corresponding holding area for the result display unit in the holding ball storage area 232 is moved to the execution area AE. Thereafter, a process of shifting data stored in each reserve area of the reserve area is executed.

  This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting data stored in the first to fourth reserve areas to the lower area side, and clears the data of the first reserve area, and the second reserve area → The data in each area is shifted in the order of the first holding area, the third holding area → the second holding area, and the fourth holding area → the third holding area.

  Thereafter, in the data setting process for the first result display unit, the second result display unit flag of the second result display unit flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 234 of the ROM 203 is erased, and the second result display is performed. In the data setting process for the department, a process of storing the second result display area flag is executed. The second result display unit flag is information for specifying which of the first result display unit AS or the second result display unit BS is the start of the current variable display.

  Further, in the data setting process, the voice emission control device 300 is made to recognize that the shift of the hold information has been performed, and the display on the first hold lamp unit 45 or the second hold lamp unit 46 is made to correspond to the decrease in the number of hold. Execute processing to make it change.

  After the data setting process is performed, the variation start process for starting the variation display on the main display unit 43 and the variation display on the symbol display device 41 is executed in step S405. When the fluctuation start process is executed, the game number control process is ended.

  Here, the change start process of step S405 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the change start process, first, in step S501, it is determined whether the success or failure lottery mode is the high probability mode. Specifically, it is determined whether the high probability mode flag is stored in the high probability mode flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204. The high probability mode flag is a flag that is stored at the end of the open / close execution mode related to the occurrence of each probability variation big hit result, and is a flag that is usually erased when the big hit result occurs.

  If it is determined in step S501 that the mode is not the high probability mode, in step S502, the process for determining whether to correspond to the low probability mode is performed. Specifically, whether or not the value acquired from the one updated by the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the jackpot numerical information corresponding to the low probability mode shown in FIG. 7A. Determine if On the other hand, if it is determined in step S501 that the mode is the high probability mode, then in step S503, a success / failure determination process corresponding to the high probability mode is executed. Specifically, whether or not the value acquired from the one updated by the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the jackpot numerical information corresponding to the high probability mode shown in FIG. 7B. Determine if If the process of step S502 or step S503 is performed, it will progress to step S504.

  In step S504, it is determined whether the result of the success or failure determination process in step S502 or step S503 is a big hit. If the jackpot has been won, in steps S505 to S507, processing for setting a game result in the case of jackpot winning and processing for setting a stop result are executed.

  In step S505, distribution determination is performed with reference to the distribution table (FIG. 8). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the second result display unit flag is stored in the second result display unit flag storage area of the RAM 204. When the second result display unit flag is not stored, the distribution determination is performed with reference to the distribution table (FIG. 8A) for the first result display unit. That is, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is the numerical range of the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the numerical range of the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the numerical range of the RU probability variation jackpot result A, the RU probability variation jackpot result B Determine whether it is included in the numerical range, the numerical range of RU exact variation jackpot result C, the numerical range of the regular jackpot result, the numerical range of the special probability variation jackpot result, and the numerical range of the most advantageous jackpot result. When the second result display unit flag is stored, the distribution determination is performed with reference to the distribution table for the second result display unit (FIG. 8B). That is, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is the numerical range of the RU probability variation jackpot result A, the numerical range of the RU probability variation jackpot result B, the numerical range of the RU probability variation jackpot result C, the numerical value of the normal jackpot outcome Determine whether the range, the numerical range of the special probability variation jackpot result, or the numerical range of the most favorable jackpot result is included.

  After the process of step S505, in step S506, a stop result setting process for each jackpot is executed. In the stop result setting process for each jackpot, the stop result table for each jackpot in the stop result table storage area 226 is referred to, and the stop result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE The address information is acquired, and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area 235 of the RAM 204. Thereafter, in step S507, the jackpot flag corresponding to the jackpot flag storage area in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204 is stored. Specifically, the implicit flag is stored if it is an implicit definite variation jackpot result, the explicit flag is stored if it is an explicit definite variation jackpot result, and the RUA flag is stored if it is an RU exact variation jackpot result A Store and store the RUB flag if the RU probability variation big hit result B, store the RUC flag if the RU probability variation big hit result C, and store the normal flag if the normal jackpot result, special A special flag is stored if it is a probability variation jackpot result, and a most advantageous flag is stored if it is the most advantageous jackpot result.

  If it is determined in step S504 that the jackpot has not been won, it is determined in step S508 whether the result of the acceptance or rejection determination process is a special outlier result. If the result is an exceptional result, the process proceeds to step S509.

  In step S509, the address information of the stop result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE is acquired with reference to the stop result table for special removal in the stop result table storage area 226, The address information is stored in the stop result address storage area 235 of the RAM 204. Thereafter, in step S510, the special removal flag is stored in the special removal flag storage area in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204.

  If it is determined in step S508 that the result is not a special out result, in step S511, either in the first result display portion AS or the second result display portion BS in the current game round in which a normal out result is obtained. In the state where the stop result is displayed, a stop result setting process for normal removal is performed to set whether to end the variable display. In the stop result setting process for the normal removal, the stop result corresponding to the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE is referred to with reference to the stop result table for removal in the stop result table storage area 226. The address information of the data is acquired, and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area 235 of the RAM 204.

  If the process of step S507, step S510 or step S511 is performed, it will progress to step S512. In step S512, it is determined whether the display mode in the symbol display device 41 is the first display mode. In this process, it is determined whether or not the first display flag is stored in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204. In the first display flag, it is determined whether or not to shift to the first display mode at power-on or in each gaming time which is the third display mode, and when it is shifted to the first display mode, various types of data in the RAM 204 The flag is stored in the first display flag storage area of the flag storage area 234, and is a flag that is erased in transition processing (FIG. 20) at the end of the open / close execution mode described later. Further, to briefly describe another display mode, the second display flag is stored in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204 when shifting to the second display mode, and of the RAM 204 when shifting to the third display mode. A third display flag is stored in the various flag storage area 234. These processes will be described in detail later.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S512, a first variable display time setting process is executed in the subsequent step S513. In this process, the fluctuation display time is set in the fluctuation display time counter provided in the various counter areas 236 of the RAM 204. The value of the variable display time counter is decremented at predetermined intervals, and when the value becomes "0", the game play is ended.

  Specifically, the value of the fluctuation type counter CS stored in the RAM 204 is acquired. In addition, it is determined whether reach display is generated by the symbol display device 41 in the current game round. That is, it is determined that the reach display is generated when the game times relating to the start of fluctuation this time is any of the big hit results or the special off results. In addition, even if it is not the jackpot result, when the numerical information related to the reach random number counter C3 stored in the execution area AE is the numerical information corresponding to the reach occurrence, it is determined that the reach display occurs.

  When it is determined that the reach display occurs, the fluctuation display time corresponding to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS of this time is referred to with reference to the fluctuation generation display time table for reach generation stored in the fluctuation display time table storage area 227 of the ROM 203 Information is acquired, and the fluctuation display time information is set in the fluctuation display time counter of the RAM 204. On the other hand, when it is determined that the reach display is not generated, it refers to the non-reach occurrence change display time table stored in the change display time table storage area 227 of the ROM 203 and corresponds to the value of the current change type counter CS. The acquired fluctuation display time information is acquired, and the fluctuation display time information is set to the fluctuation display time counter. Incidentally, the fluctuation display time that can be acquired with reference to the non-reach generation fluctuation display time table is different from the fluctuation display time that can be acquired with reference to the reach generation fluctuation display time table.

  In addition, the fluctuation display time information at the time of reach non-occurrence | occurrence | production is set so that the fluctuation display time may become short, so that the number of starting pending storage numbers NA is large. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display time may not be varied according to the start reserve memory number NA, or may be opposite to the above relationship. Furthermore, the above configuration may be applied to the fluctuation display time at the time of reach occurrence. Further, in the case of various jackpot results, in the case of a special outlier, in the case of outreach, and in the case of a normal outlier with non-reach occurrence, variable display time tables may be individually set. In this case, distribution of the variable display time according to each game result will be performed.

  If a negative determination is made in step S512, that is, if the display mode on display screen G of symbol display device 41 is the second display mode or the third display mode, then in step S514, the second variation display time setting process Run. Here, the second variation display time setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the second variation display time setting process, the numerical value information of the variation type counter CS and the numerical information of the reach random number counter C3 are acquired in step S601. In the following step S602, it is determined whether the game result is any of the RU probability variation jackpot results A, B and C, the normal jackpot result, the special probability variation jackpot result and the most advantageous jackpot result. If an affirmative determination is made in step S602, the fluctuation corresponding to the value of fluctuation type counter CS of this time is referred to with reference to the fluctuation display time table for confrontation effect stored in fluctuation display time table storage area 227 of ROM 203 in step S603. Display time information is acquired, and the variable display time information is set in the variable display time counter of the RAM 204. The variable display time table for competition presentation is such that a variable display time longer than the fluctuation display time table for reinforcement effect and the fluctuation display time table for development effect, which will be described later, is selected. A plurality of variable display times corresponding to the type of confrontation effect to be played are set. After the process of step S603 is performed, the second variable display time setting process is ended.

  On the other hand, when a negative determination is made in step S602, it is determined in step S604 whether or not the high-frequency game frequency counter is "10". The high frequency game frequency counter, which will be described later in detail, is set in the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode when it is a predetermined jackpot result, and indicates the number of continuations of the high frequency support mode. It is a counter that is decremented by one each time it is executed. When an affirmative determination is made in step S604, the process proceeds to step S603 to set a variation display time for confrontation effect, and the present second variation display time setting process is ended.

  If a negative determination is made in step S604, it is determined in step S605 whether or not the current game result is any of an implicit probability variation jackpot result, an explicit probability variation jackpot result and a special outlier result. In the case of these game results, the process proceeds to step S606. In step S606, the fluctuation display time information corresponding to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS of this time is acquired with reference to the fluctuation display time table for reinforcement effect stored in the fluctuation display time table storage area 227 of the ROM 203, and the fluctuation thereof Display time information is set in the variable display time counter of the RAM 204. The fluctuation display time table for reinforcement effect is shorter than the fluctuation display time set with reference to the above-mentioned fluctuation display time table for confrontation effect, and the fluctuation display set with reference to the fluctuation display time table for development effect described later The variable display time longer than the time is selected, and a plurality of variable display times corresponding to the type of the reinforcement effect performed by the symbol display device 41 are set. After the process of step S606 is performed, the second variable display time setting process is ended.

  If a negative determination is made in step S605, it is determined in step S607 whether it is a game run for which the development effect is to be executed. Specifically, when the numerical information on the reach random number counter C3 stored in the execution area AE is the numerical information corresponding to the development effect, it is determined that the development effect is generated. If it is determined that the development effect is generated, the value of the fluctuation type counter CS of this time is referred to with reference to the fluctuation display time table for development effect stored in the fluctuation display time table storage area 227 of the ROM 203 in step S608. The corresponding fluctuation display time information is acquired, and the fluctuation display time information is set in the fluctuation display time counter of the RAM 204. After the process of step S608 is performed, the second variation display time setting process is ended.

  If a negative determination is made in step S607, that is, if the current game time is not the game time for transition to the open / close execution mode and the development effect is not executed, the variation display time for the game time is set in step S609. Execute the process In this process, the variation display time information corresponding to the value of the variation type counter CS of this time is acquired with reference to the variation presentation non-occurrence variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 227 of the ROM 203. The fluctuation display time information is set in the fluctuation display time counter. Incidentally, the fluctuation display time that can be acquired with reference to the development effect non-generation fluctuation display time table is different from the fluctuation display time that can be acquired with reference to the above-described fluctuation display time table for each effect. Specifically, the fluctuation display time that can be acquired with reference to the development presentation non-occurrence fluctuation display time table is shorter than the fluctuation display time that can be acquired with reference to each of the presentation fluctuation display time tables.

  The fluctuation display time information at the time of the development effect non-occurrence is set such that the fluctuation display time becomes shorter as the number of start pending storage numbers NA increases. In addition, in the situation where the support mode is the high frequency support mode, the development presentation effect is such that the display duration time is selected shorter as compared with the situation where the number of holding information is the same than the situation where the support mode is the low frequency support mode. The display continuation time table for non-occurrence is set. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that the display continuation time does not change according to the start pending storage number NA or the support mode, and the above relationship may be reversed. Furthermore, the above configuration may be applied to the display continuation time when the development effect occurs.

  Returning to the explanation of the fluctuation start process (FIG. 16), after executing the process of step S513 or step S514, it is determined in step S515 whether or not the second result display unit flag is stored in the RAM 204. If the second result display unit flag is not stored, in step S516, the first variation command is set. The first variation command includes information indicating that the current game run is related to the hold information acquired based on the winning of the upper operation port 33, and the presence or absence of reach, the confrontation effect The information includes the presence or absence of occurrence, the information regarding the presence or absence of the occurrence of the reinforcement effect, the presence or absence of the occurrence of the development effect, and the information of the fluctuation display time. On the other hand, if the second result display unit flag is stored, the second variation command is set in step S517. The second variation command includes information indicating that the current game run is related to the hold information obtained based on the winning of the lower operation opening 34, and information of the presence or absence of reach occurrence, Information on the presence or absence of occurrence of confrontation effect, information on the presence or absence of occurrence of development effect, and information on fluctuation display time are included.

  After the process of step S516 or step S517, the type command is set in step S518. The type command includes information on the game result. In other words, in the type command, as information on game results, information on implicit probability variation jackpot result, information on explicit probability variation jackpot result, information on RU probability variation jackpot result A, information on RU probability variation jackpot result B, RU probability variation jackpot result C It includes information, usually information on the jackpot result, special probability variation jackpot information, information on the most favorable jackpot result and information on the exceptional result.

  The fluctuation command and type command set in steps S516 to S518 are transmitted to the sound emission control apparatus 300 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14). In the sound emission control apparatus 300, the light emission mode of the display lamp unit 63 and the sound output mode of the speaker unit 64 are determined based on the received variation command and type command, and various settings are performed so that the determined contents are executed. Control the device. Further, the voice emission control device 300 transmits the received variation command and type command to the display control device 400 as it is. The display control device 400 controls the display of the symbol display device 41 so that the variation display of the symbols corresponding to each game is performed based on the variation command and the type command.

  Thereafter, in step S519, of the first result display unit AS and the second result display unit BS, the variation display of the pattern is started on the result display unit corresponding to the current game round. In this case, when the second result display unit flag is not stored in the RAM 204, it is specified that the result display unit corresponding to the current game time is the first result display unit AS, and the second result display unit flag is If it is stored, it is specified that the result display unit corresponding to the current game play is the second result display unit BS.

  Returning to the explanation of the game number control process (FIG. 15), when the main display unit 43 is in a variable display mode, the game number progression process of steps S406 to S410 is executed. In the processing for game progression, first, at step S406, it is determined whether or not the variation display time of the current game has elapsed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable display time information stored in the variable display time counter of the RAM 204 has become “0”. As described above, the value of the variable display time information is set in the first variable display time setting process (step S513) or the second variable display time setting process (step S514). Also, the value of the set variable display time information is decremented by "1" each time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 12) is activated.

  If the variable display time has not elapsed, processing for variable display is executed in step S407. In the variable display process, the display mode in the result display unit according to the current game run is changed. Thereafter, the game play control process ends.

  If the fluctuation display time has elapsed, fluctuation end processing is executed in step S408. In the variation end process, the address information stored in the RAM 204 is specified in the process in any of the step S507, the step S510 or the step S511, and the form of the pattern corresponding to the address information is the result display unit according to the present game Control the display of the result display unit so that

  In the following step S409, a change end command is set. The fluctuation end command set in step S409 is transmitted to the sound emission control apparatus 300 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14). In the sound emission control device 300, the effect in the game play is ended based on the received change end command. In addition, the fluctuation end command is transmitted from the sound emission control device 300 to the display control device 400, and the display control device 400 receives the fluctuation end command to display the final combination of the final stop symbols in the game time Final stop display).

  Thereafter, in step S410, a game number counter subtraction process is executed. Specifically, the value of the high frequency game number counter provided in the various counter areas 236 of the RAM 204 is decremented by "1". When the game number counter subtraction process is executed, the game time control process is ended.

<First game state transition processing>
Next, the first gaming state transition processing in step S305 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  In the first gaming state transition process shown in FIG. 18, it is first determined in step S701 whether or not the open / close execution mode is in progress. If it is not in the open / close execution mode, the process proceeds to step S702, and it is determined whether it is the timing at which the variation display of symbols in the first result display unit AS or the second result display unit BS of one game cycle is finished. If it is not time to finish the variable display, the first game state transition processing is ended.

  If it is the timing when the variable display has ended, it is determined in step S703 whether the game result of the current game play corresponds to the transition to the open / close execution mode. Specifically, it is determined whether any of the implicit flag, the explicit flag, the RUA flag, the RUB flag, the RUC flag, the normal flag, the special flag, the most advantageous flag, and the special out flag is stored in the RAM 204. Do. If none of the above flags is stored, the first gaming state transition processing is ended as it is.

  If any of the above flags is stored, it is determined in step S704 whether or not the current open / close execution mode corresponds to the special deviation result. Specifically, it is determined whether the special out flag is stored in the RAM 204 or not. If the special removal flag is stored, "2" is set to the open / close counter SOC provided in the various counter areas 236 of the RAM 204 in step S705. The open / close counter SOC is a counter for specifying the number of times of opening and closing the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 by the MPU 202, and is decremented by one each time the special winning opening 32a is opened once.

  If it is determined in step S704 that the result does not correspond to the special out result, in step S706, a setting process for round is performed, and the round counter RC provided in the various counter areas 236 of the RAM 204 corresponds to each big hit result Set the number of rounds The round counter RC is a counter for specifying the number of round games to be executed within the range of one opening / closing execution mode by the MPU 202, and each time one round is digested in the opening / closing execution mode of the round number defining mode 1 "is subtracted.

  Here, the setting processing for rounds in step S706 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  First, at step S801, "10" is set in the winning counter PC provided in the various counter areas 236 of the RAM 204 as the upper limit number, which is one end condition of the round game. The winning counter PC is a counter which is decremented by one each time a winning of the gaming ball to the big winning opening 32a occurs. At the following step S802, the open / close counter SOC is set to "1". In step S803, it is determined whether or not the game result that has triggered the transition to the round number setting mode this time is an implicit definite jackpot result or an explicit definite jackpot result. In the case of the implicit definite variation jackpot result or the explicit estimation variation jackpot result, in step S804, the round counter RC is set to "2", and this setting process is ended. If it is not the implicit definite jackpot result or the explicit odd variation jackpot result, it is determined in step S 805 whether the game result that has triggered the transition is the RU probability variation jackpot result A. If the RU probability variation jackpot result A, in step S806, the round counter RC is set to "5", and this setting processing is terminated. If it is not RU probability variation jackpot result A, in step S 807, whether the game result which became the trigger of the above transition is any of RU probability variation jackpot result B, normal jackpot result and special probability variation jackpot result or not judge. When an affirmative determination is made in step S807, in step S808, after setting "10" to the round counter RC, the present setting process is ended. If a negative determination is made in step S807, the present setting process is ended after setting “15” in the round counter RC in step S809.

  That is, although it is not one-on-one according to the kind of the jackpot result which became the opportunity of transition, the number of rounds is different.

  Returning to the description of the first gaming state transition process (FIG. 18), after executing the process of step S705 or step S706, an opening command is set in step S707. The set opening command is transmitted to the sound emission control apparatus 300 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14). The opening command includes information on the game result that has triggered the open / close execution mode. The sound emission control apparatus 300 determines the content of the effect corresponding to the open / close execution mode based on the received opening command, and controls various devices so that the content of the determined effect is executed. Further, the opening command is transmitted from the sound emission control device 300 to the display control device 400, and the display control device 400 receives the opening command, thereby displaying (eg, displaying a moving image) corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode. Control the display of the symbol display device 41 so that After executing the processing of step S707, the present first gaming state transition processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when the open / close execution mode is in effect, an affirmative determination is made in step S701, and the special winning opening / closing process is executed in step S708. In the special winning opening / closing process, when the special winning opening 32a is closed, the variable winning driving unit 32c is driven under the condition that the round counter RC or the opening / closing counter SOC is "1" or more. The big winning opening 32a is opened. In addition, when the special winning opening 32a is open, the variable winning drive unit on condition that the opening limit time has elapsed from the opening of the special winning opening 32a or that the opening limit number has been won The driving state of 32c is stopped, and the big winning opening 32a is closed. In addition, as already explained, the opening time of the large winning a prize opening 32a differs depending on the game result which became the trigger of the opening and closing execution mode in the long-term mode and the short-term aspect, and the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result And, in the opening and closing execution mode which was started triggered by either of the special out results, it is opened in a short time mode, in the opening and closing execution mode which was started triggered by other game results is opened in a long time mode.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10, in a situation where the firing handle 54 is operated by the player, the game ball shooting mechanism 53 is driven so that one game ball is shot toward the game area in 0.6 sec. It is controlled. Further, in the round game, the upper limit number of end conditions is set to ten. Then, in the long time mode among the above-mentioned open modes, the open continuation time of a time longer than the product of the firing cycle of the game balls and the upper limit number of one round game is set. On the other hand, in the short-time mode, the opening duration of a time shorter than the product of the game ball firing cycle and the upper limit number of one round game, more specifically, the time shorter than the game ball firing cycle is set. ing. Therefore, when one open of the variable winning device 32 is performed in a long time mode, it is expected that winnings corresponding to the upper limit number in one round game occur to the large winning opening 32a. When the variable winning device 32 is opened once in a short time mode, it is expected that no winning in the big winning opening 32a will occur.

  After the special winning opening / closing process is performed in step S708, the process proceeds to step S709. In step S709, it is determined whether the value of the round counter RC is "0" and the value of the open / close counter SOC is "0". If one of the values is not "0", the first gaming state transition process is ended as it is. On the other hand, when the values of both counters are "0", the ending command is set in step S710. The ending command thus set is transmitted to the sound emission control apparatus 300 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14). The sound emission control device 300 ends the effect corresponding to the open / close execution mode based on the reception of the ending command. Further, the ending command is transmitted from the sound emission control device 300 to the display control device 400, and the display control device 400 receives the ending command to end the display corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode.

  Thereafter, in step S711, transition processing at the end of the open / close execution mode is executed. Here, the transition processing at the end of the open / close execution mode will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  First, in step S901, it is determined whether the game result that triggered the transition of the open / close execution mode executed this time is the explicit certainty variation big hit result or the most advantageous big hit result. If an affirmative determination is made in step S901, the high frequency support flag is not stored in RAM 204 in step S902, and the flag is stored if it is already stored, and the state is maintained if it is already stored. . This sets the support mode to the high frequency support mode.

  In the subsequent step S903, when the number limit flag is stored in the RAM 204, the number limit flag is erased. If the high frequency support flag is stored in the RAM 204 and the number limit flag is not stored, the high frequency support mode is continued until the game result of the game play results in any of the jackpot results.

  In the following step S904, if the high probability mode flag is not stored in the RAM 204, the flag is stored, and if it is already stored, the state is maintained. Thereby, the success or failure lottery mode is set to the high probability mode. In addition, this high probability mode is continued until the game result of the game round usually becomes a big hit result. In the following step S905, a high frequency command is set.

  After the process of step S 905 is performed, the first display flag or the third display flag is erased and the second display flag is stored in step S 906. Specifically, when the first display flag or the third display flag is stored in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204, the flag is erased, and when it is not stored, the state is maintained. If the second display flag is not stored in the various flag storage area 234 of the RAM 204, the flag is stored. If the second display flag is already stored, the state is maintained. Thereafter, in step S 907, a second display command is set. The high frequency command set in step S905 and the second display command set in step S907 are transmitted to the voice emission control device 300 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14), It is transmitted from the voice emission control device 300 to the display control device 400. The display control device 400 controls the symbol display device 41 to start display in the high frequency support mode based on the reception of the high frequency command. In addition, based on the reception of the second display command, the variable display corresponding to each game result is executed in the second display mode in the subsequent gaming rounds. Thereafter, this migration processing is ended.

  If a negative determination is made in step S901, it is determined in step S908 whether or not the game result that has triggered the transition of the open / close execution mode executed this time is an implicit probability variation jackpot result. If an affirmative determination is made in step S908, it is determined in step S909 whether or not the high frequency support flag is stored in the RAM 204.

  If the high-frequency support flag is stored, the process of step S903 to step S907 described above is performed, and the transition process is finished. If the high frequency support flag is not stored, the high probability mode flag is not stored in the RAM 204 in step S 910, the flag is stored, and if it is already stored, the state is maintained. Do. Thereby, the success or failure lottery mode is set to the high probability mode. In the subsequent step S911, a low frequency command is set.

  After the process of step S911 is executed, the first display flag or the second display flag is erased and the third display flag is stored in step S912. Specifically, when the first display flag or the second display flag is stored in the RAM 204, the flag is erased, and when it is not stored, the state is maintained. Then, when the third display flag is not stored in the RAM 204, the flag is stored, and when the third display flag is already stored, the state is maintained. Thereafter, in step S913, the third display command is set. The low frequency command set in step S911 and the third display command set in step S913 are transmitted to the audio light emission control device 300 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14), It is transmitted from the voice emission control device 300 to the display control device 400. The display control device 400 controls the symbol display device 41 to start the display in the low frequency support mode based on the reception of the low frequency command. In addition, based on the reception of the third display command, the variable display corresponding to each game result is executed in the third display mode in the subsequent gaming rounds. Thereafter, this migration processing is ended.

  If a negative determination is made in step S908, it is determined in step S914 whether or not the game result that has triggered the transition of the open / close execution mode executed this time is a special out result.

  If a negative determination is made in step S914, that is, the game result that triggered the transition of the open / close execution mode executed this time is any of RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C, normal big hit result and special probability variation big hit result If yes, it is determined in step S915 whether the game result that has triggered the transition of the open / close execution mode executed this time is the result of the normal big hit. When an affirmative determination is made in step S915, the process proceeds to the subsequent step S916. In step S916, if the high probability mode flag is stored in the RAM 204, the flag is erased, and if it is not stored, the state is maintained. Thereby, the success or failure lottery mode is set to the low probability mode.

  If a negative determination is made in step S915, that is, if the game result that triggered the transition of the open / close execution mode executed this time is any of RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C and special probability variation big hit results Proceed to step S917. In step S917, if the high probability mode flag is not stored in the RAM 204, the flag is stored, and if it is already stored, the state is maintained. Thereby, the success or failure lottery mode is set to the high probability mode.

  After the process of step S916 or step S917 is executed, the high frequency support flag is not stored in the RAM 204 in the following step S918, the flag is stored, and the state is maintained if it is already stored. Do. This sets the support mode to the high frequency support mode.

  In the subsequent step S919, a high frequency game number setting process is executed. Here, high frequency game frequency setting processing will be described using FIG. 21 and FIG.

  In the high frequency game frequency setting process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 21, first, in step S1001, a process of reading the high frequency game frequency table stored in the high frequency game frequency table storage area 228 of the ROM 203 is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the high frequency game frequency table, the number of times the game frequency for which the high frequency support mode continues in the situation where the frequency limit flag is stored is M times according to the value of the big hit random number counter C1. It is set to be either. Specifically, it is set to any of 45 times to 100 times. That is, the number of times the selection can be made is continuous 45 to 100 times, and it is a table for selecting any one of 45 times, 46 times... 99 times, and 100 times. Therefore, there is a possibility that the high frequency support mode may end at each set number of times, the number of continuations of the high frequency support mode is diversified, and the game is performed while predicting which game frequency the high frequency support mode will continue to It is possible to do

  Further, in the high frequency game frequency table, the number of values of the large hit random number counter C1 is different depending on each setting frequency, and a plurality of high frequency of setting probability is provided. Specifically, the number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 set to 45 times, 55 times, 65 times, and 100 times is 20 each, and is 10 for the other setting times. Therefore, in the high frequency game number setting process, the probability of setting the number of continuations of the high frequency support mode to 45 times, 55 times, 65 times, and 100 times is higher than the other times. As a result, the player is expected to continue beyond the number of times the probability of being selected is high, that is, the number of times the frequent support mode is likely to end. In addition, when the high frequency support mode continues for more than 65 times by providing a plurality of times with a high probability of being selected, for example, the probability of continuing up to 100 times is high. The probability of the high frequency support mode ending is low in the first to third game times, and the player can play the game with peace of mind. Therefore, by adding intonation to each number of continuations, not only the game result of each game time but also the attention degree of the high frequency support mode itself can be increased.

  After executing the processing of step S1001, in step S1002, numerical information of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the ROM 203 is acquired. In the following step S1003, based on the numerical information acquired in step S1002, the high frequency game frequency table read at step S1001 is referenced to determine the high frequency game frequency. In step S1004, the high frequency game frequency determined in step S1003 is set in the high frequency game frequency counter provided in the various counter areas 236 of the RAM 204. When the high frequency support mode is set, the high frequency game frequency counter determines whether or not it is the timing to end the high frequency support mode, and in the predetermined game time, the confrontation effect is made in the symbol display device 41 To run the After the process of step S1004, the high frequency game number setting process is ended.

  Returning to the description of the transition process (FIG. 20) at the end of the open / close execution mode, after the process of step S919 is performed, the number restriction flag is stored in step S920. When the high frequency support flag is stored in the RAM 204 and the number limit flag is further stored, the high frequency support mode is continued until the value of the high frequency game number counter becomes “0”. Thereafter, in step S921, a high frequency command is set, and in step S922, the first display flag or the third display flag is erased and the second display flag is stored, and in step S923, the second display command is set. . The process of step S921 to step S923 is the same as the process of step S905 to step S907. After the process of step S 923 is performed, the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode is ended.

  Further, if the determination in step S914 is affirmative, that is, if the game result triggered by the open / close execution mode executed this time is a special out result, the first display flag or the second display flag is selected in step S924. While erasing, the third display flag is stored, and in the subsequent step S925, a third display command is set. The processes of steps S924 and S925 are similar to the processes of steps S912 and S913. After executing the process of step S925, the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode is ended.

  That is, in the transition processing at the end of the open / close execution mode, when the explicit probability variation big hit result or the most advantageous big hit result, the support mode is shifted to the high frequency support mode without the number of times limit, and the success lottery mode is the high probability mode Migrate to And the process which changes the display mode in the symbol display apparatus 41 into a 2nd display mode is performed.

  In the case of the implicit definite variation jackpot result, the support mode maintains the previous state. However, in the case of the frequent support mode with a limited number of times, the mode is shifted to the frequent support mode without a limited number of times. Moreover, the success or failure lottery mode is shifted to the high probability mode. And the process which changes the display mode in the symbol display apparatus 41 into a 2nd display mode or a 3rd display mode is performed.

  In the case of a normal jackpot result, the success or failure lottery mode is shifted to the low probability mode, and the support mode is shifted to the high frequency support mode with the number of times limited. And the process which changes the display mode in the symbol display apparatus 41 into a 2nd display mode is performed.

  In the case of any RU probability variation jackpot result A, B, C or special probability variation jackpot result, the success or failure lottery mode is shifted to the high probability mode, and the support mode is shifted to the high frequency support mode with a limited number of times. And the process which changes the display mode in the symbol display apparatus 41 into a 2nd display mode is performed.

  If the result is a special out-of-order result, transition processing between the pass / fail lottery mode and the support mode is not performed. However, the process of changing the display mode in the symbol display device 41 to the third display mode is executed.

<Second game state transition processing>
Next, the second gaming state transition processing (step S306) in the normal processing (FIG. 14) will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In the second gaming state transition processing, it is first determined in step S1101 whether or not the high frequency support mode is set. In the case of the high frequency support mode, it is determined in step S1102 whether the high frequency game number counter is "0". If the high-frequency game frequency counter is "0", it is determined in the subsequent step S1103 whether or not the frequency limit flag is stored. If both the step S1102 and the step S1103 make a positive determination, that is, the high frequency game number counter is "0", either RU probability variation big hit result A, B, C, usually big hit result or special probability variation big hit result In the case of the high frequency support mode started as a trigger, the high frequency support flag is erased in the subsequent step S1004. This shifts to the low frequency support mode. In the following step S1105, a low frequency command is set. In step S1106, the second display flag is erased and the third display flag is stored. Then, in step S1107, a third display command is set.

  The low frequency command set in step S1105 and the third display command set in step S1107 are transmitted to the voice emission control device 300 in the external output process (step S301) of the normal process (FIG. 14). The voice emission control device 300 transmits the low frequency command and the third display command to the display control device 400. When the display control device 400 receives the low frequency command and the third display command, the display control device 400 controls the symbol display device 41 to perform variable display of each game time in the low frequency support mode and the third display mode.

  That is, in the second gaming state transition process, the high frequency support when it is the high frequency support mode started triggered by any of RU probability variation jackpot results A, B, C, normal jackpot result and special probability variation jackpot result Under the condition that the number of times of continuation of the mode has become the set number, processing is performed to shift to the low frequency support mode and to change the display mode from the second display mode to the third display mode.

  If a negative determination is made in any of step S1101, step S1102 and step S1103, or after the process of step S1107 is performed, the process proceeds to step S1108. In step S1108, it is determined whether the third display flag is stored. If a negative determination is made in step S1108, that is, in the game session in which the variable display is performed in the first display mode or the second display mode, the second game state transition process is ended as it is. In addition, when the affirmative determination is made in step S1108, that is, in the gaming round in which the variable display is performed in the third display mode, the first display mode transition lottery process is executed in the subsequent step S1109. In this process, first, numerical information of the jackpot random number counter C1 is acquired. Then, with reference to the display mode transition table of the ROM 203, it is determined whether or not to shift to the first display mode. In the display mode transition table, 20 pieces of numerical information are set as numerical information of the jackpot random number counter C1 corresponding to the transition to the first display mode. That is, the probability of determining to shift to the first display mode in one transition lottery is 1/30.

  In the following step S1110, it is determined whether or not the determination result in step S1109 results in shifting to the first display mode, and in the case of shifting to the first display mode, the third display flag is erased in step S1111. At the same time, the first display flag is stored. In the following step S1112, a first display command is set. The first display command is transmitted to the sound emission control apparatus 300 and transmitted from the sound emission control apparatus 300 to the display control apparatus 400 in the external output process (step S301) in the normal process (FIG. 14). The display control device 400 controls the symbol display device 41 to perform variable display of each game time in the first display mode based on the reception of the first display command. Thereafter, the second gaming state transition processing is ended.

  That is, the variable display performed in the third display mode continues until the first display mode transition lottery is won, and thereafter, when the first display mode transition lottery is won, the variable display of each game time is performed in the first display mode. To be done.

<Command Corresponding Processing Executed by Display Control Device 400>
Next, command corresponding processing executed by the MPU 402 of the display control device 400 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. Here, the command received from the main control device 81 via the audio light emission control device 300 is stored in the command storage area 421 of the work RAM 404 by the command storage process activated when the command is received. The command handling process is a process that is activated periodically (for example, 2 msec cycle) in the MPU 402 and is for executing various controls corresponding to the commands stored in the command storage area 421. The command storage area 421 is configured as a ring buffer capable of storing a plurality of commands individually and readable from the previously stored commands, and even when a plurality of commands are received at the same time The processing corresponding to each command can be performed well.

  In the command corresponding process, first, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the command that is the command stored in the command storage area 421 and is the read target command this time is the opening command. If the command is an opening command, the processing in step S1202 is performed, and then the command handling process is ended.

  In step S 1202, the open / close execution flag is stored in the open / close execution flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 422 of the work RAM 404. The open / close execution flag is information for specifying in the open / close execution mode by the MPU 402 of the display control apparatus 400, and is stored at the start of the open / close execution mode triggered by the reception of the opening command. It is erased when receiving an ending command upon termination. In the MPU 402, when the open / close execution flag is stored, the display content in the symbol display device 41 corresponds to the open / close execution mode.

  If the command to be read this time is not the opening command, it is determined in step S1203 whether or not the command to be read this time is the ending command. If it is the ending command, the open / close execution flag is erased from the work RAM 404 in step S 1204, and the command handling process is ended.

  If the command to be read this time is not the ending command, it is determined in step S1205 whether or not the command to be read this time is a high frequency command. If the command is a high frequency command, the support flag is stored in the support flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 422 of the work RAM 404 in step S1206, and then the command handling process is ended.

  The support flag is information for specifying in the MPU 402 of the display control apparatus 400 that the support mode is the high frequency mode, and is stored at the transition to the high frequency support mode triggered by the reception of the high frequency command, and is low. It is erased at the transition to the frequency support mode, triggered by the reception of the low frequency command.

  If the command to be read this time is not the high frequency command, it is determined in step S1207 whether or not the command to be read this time is the low frequency command. If the command is a low frequency command, in step S1208, the support flag is erased from the work RAM 404, and then the command handling process is ended.

  If the current reading target is not the low frequency command, it is determined in step S1209 whether the current reading target command is any of the first display command, the second display command, and the third display command. Do. If it is any display command, display mode change processing is executed in the subsequent step S1210. In this process, when the command to be read this time is the first display command, the first display flag is stored in the first display flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 422 of the work RAM 404, and this time When the command to be read out is the second display command, the second display flag is stored in the second display flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 422 of the work RAM 404, and the command to be read this time is If the command is the third display command, the third display flag is stored in the third display flag storage area provided in the various flag storage area 422 of the work RAM 404. Further, regardless of any display command, the display flags other than the display flags stored this time are erased. Thereafter, the present display mode change processing is ended.

  Each display flag is a flag for determining in which display mode the variable display of each game time in the symbol display device 41 is to be executed. It is erased when receiving the display command.

  If the command to be read this time is not each display command, the variable display control process is executed in step S1211. Here, the variable display control process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the fluctuation display control process, when the fluctuation command is received, the fluctuation display of the symbol for one game cycle is started in the symbol display device 41, and when the fluctuation end command is received, the fluctuation display of the symbol Execute a process to display the final stop.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 25, it is determined in step S1301 whether or not variable display of symbols for one game cycle has been executed in the symbol display device 41. If the variation display of the symbols for one game cycle is not performed, it is determined in step S1302 whether or not the variation command has been received. If the variation command has not been received, the variation display control process is terminated. If the variation command has been received, the variation start control process is ended after the variation start process is executed in step S1303.

  On the other hand, when the variation display of the symbols for one game cycle is performed, it is determined in step S1304 whether or not the variation end command is received. If the fluctuation end command has not been received, the fluctuation display control process is ended after the fluctuation-in-use process is executed in step S1305. In the during-variation processing, the symbol display device 41 is controlled so that the symbol is variably displayed after the game run is started.

  If the fluctuation end command has been received, the fluctuation display control process is ended after the fluctuation end process is executed in step S1306. In the variation end process, the symbol display device 41 is controlled to end the variation display of the symbols and to stop the final stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the main control device 81.

  The variation start process executed in step S1303 of the variation display control process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 26, in step S1401, the variation command received this time is read out, and from the command, information on presence / absence of reach occurrence, information on presence / absence of development effect occurrence, information on presence / absence of confrontation effect occurrence, reinforcement Identify information on presence / absence of presentation occurrence and information on fluctuation display time. Further, as described above, the main control device 81 also transmits the type command when transmitting the change command. Therefore, in step S1401, the type command received with the variation command received this time is read, and from the command, information on the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the indication probability variation jackpot result, various RU probability variation jackpot results A, B, C information, usually information of jackpot result, information of special probability variation jackpot result, information of most advantageous jackpot result, information of exceptional outlier result and information of outlier normally. Then, in step S1401, from the above identified information, information on the presence or absence of big hit, information on the type of big hit if the big hit, information on the presence or absence of the reach occurrence if the big hit is not won, development effect occurrence Information of presence / absence, information of presence / absence of confrontation effect occurrence, information of presence / absence of intensification effect occurrence and information of fluctuation display time are grasped, and the grasped information is stored in the register of the MPU 402.

  In the subsequent step S1402, the first display flag storage area, the second display flag storage area, and the third display flag storage area of the work RAM 404 are checked and grasped in which display mode the variable display is to be executed. In the following step S1403, it is determined as a result of the process of step S1402 whether or not it is the first display mode. If the display mode is the first display mode, stop result setting processing for the first display mode is executed in the subsequent step S1404.

  In the stop result setting process for the first display mode, based on the process of step S1401, symbol determination processing corresponding to the contents of the game result of the game round started this time is performed. Specifically, in the case of the most advantageous jackpot result, a combination of the same specific odd symbol on one effective line L1 to L5 (specifically, "3.3.33" or "7-7.7" Information corresponding to the stop result for which “)” is established is determined as the information of the present stop result. In the case of each RU probability variation big hit result A, B, C, the information corresponding to the stop result in which the combination of odd symbols other than the same specific odd symbol is established on one valid line L1 to L5 is Determined as stop result information. In the case of the normal jackpot result or the special probability variation jackpot result, the information corresponding to the stop result in which the combination of the same even symbols is established on one of the valid lines L1 to L5 is determined as the information of the present stop result. In these cases, the type of symbol of the numeral and the valid lines L1 to L5 are randomly determined by lottery or the like. If it is any of the implicit definite oddity big hit result, the explicit definite oddity big hit result and the special outlier result, the combination of the reach pattern is established on one effective line L1 to L5, and on any effective line L1 to L5 Also, after temporarily stopping so that the combination of the same symbol is not established, it re-fluctuates after that, and the combination of the common symbol predetermined on one effective line L1 to L5 (specifically, Information corresponding to the stop result for which “3.4.1” is established is determined as the information of the present stop result. In this case, the valid lines L1 to L5 are randomly determined by lottery or the like.

  Further, in the case of the normal out result, it is determined whether or not it is a game round related to the occurrence of the off reach display based on the contents of the change command, and in the case of a game round related to the occurrence of the off reach display The information corresponding to the stop result in which the combination of the reach symbols is removed on the one effective line L1 to L5 is determined as the information of the current stop result. In this case, the type of combination of out-of-reach reach symbols and the effective lines L1 to L5 are randomly determined by lottery or the like. In addition, in this determination, the same symbol combination is not established on any of the valid lines L1 to L5, and a stop result in which the combination of the common symbols is not stopped is determined. If it is not a game round related to the occurrence of the off reach display, the combination of the same symbols is stopped and displayed on any of the activated lines L1 to L5 without the combination of the same symbols being established. Furthermore, the information corresponding to the stop result in which the combination of the outlying reach symbol is not stopped and displayed is determined as the information of the stop result this time.

  Further, in step S1404, storage processing of the address information of the determined stop information is executed. Specifically, the program ROM 403 is provided with a stop information table storage area 411 as stop information group storage means, and the stop information table storage area 411 stores a stop information table as a stop information group. . In the stop information table, information on combinations of stop symbols for information on each valid line is set in a one-to-one correspondence with address information. In the storage processing of the address of the stop information, the address information corresponding to the information of the stop line and the information of the combination of each symbol is read from the stop information table, and the address information of the read stop information is provided in the work RAM 404 It is stored in the storage area 423 of the stop information address.

  After the process of step S1404 is performed, a setting process of the variable display pattern for the first display mode is performed in step S1405. In the variable display pattern setting process, information on the variable display time stored in the register of the MPU 402 in step S1401 with reference to the first variable display pattern table provided in the variable display pattern table storage area 412 of the program ROM 403; In step S 1404, the information of the variable display pattern corresponding to both the information stored in the storage area 423 of the stop information address is specified.

  Specifically, in the first variable display pattern table, information of the variable display pattern is set in a one-to-one correspondence with an arbitrary combination of the information of each variable display time and each stop information, and further, Address information is set corresponding to information of each variable display pattern. In the setting process of the variable display pattern in step S1405, address information corresponding to the combination of the information of the variable display time already specified this time and the stop information is specified in the variable display pattern table, and the specified address information is It is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address provided in the RAM 404.

  By storing the address information of the variation display pattern in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address, the MPU 402 generates an internal command to the VDP 405 in the output process of an internal command (not shown) different from the variation start process. The symbol display device 41 is driven so as to perform the variation display of the symbol corresponding to the currently set variation display pattern. In this case, the output process of the internal command is repeatedly activated in a predetermined cycle (for example, 2 msec), and in the output process of the internal command, the internal command corresponding to the information of the set fluctuation display pattern is symbolized It is generated according to the elapsed time from the start of the variable display, and the generated internal command is output to the VDP 405. The VDP 405 reads out the image data from the character ROM 406 according to the internal command, and writes the read out image data to the video RAM 407. Thereby, in the symbol display device 41, the variation display of the symbol corresponding to the variation display pattern set this time is performed.

  In addition, the information of the fluctuation display pattern stored in the fluctuation display pattern table includes not only the contents of the fluctuation display of the symbol but also the information of the background image displayed together with the fluctuation display of the symbol and the reach effect in the case The information of the image of reach production is also included. Therefore, when an internal command corresponding to the set fluctuation display pattern is output to VDP 405, the background image is displayed together with the fluctuation display of the symbol, and furthermore, when various effects such as reach effect are performed, The image of the effect is displayed.

  However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and information on symbol display patterns and information on other display patterns are distinguished, and information on symbol display patterns includes only information on variation display modes of symbols, and others The information of the display pattern may be configured to include information of the background image and information of the image of the reach effect in the case where the reach effect is performed.

  After the process of step S1405 is performed, the variation start process ends.

  On the other hand, when the negative determination is made in step S1403, the effect setting process for the second display mode and the third display mode is executed in step S1406, and the variation start process is ended. Here, the effect setting process for the second display mode and the third display mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the effect setting process for the second display mode and the third display mode, first, in step S1501, it is determined whether the second display flag is stored in the work RAM 404. If the second display flag is stored, the effect setting process for the second display mode from step S1502 to step S1508 is executed. If the second display flag is not stored, step S1509 to step S1515. The effect setting process for up to the third display mode is executed. First, the effect setting process for the second display mode from step S1502 to step S1508 will be described.

  In the effect setting process for the second display mode, in step S1502, based on the process in step S1401, it is determined whether a confrontation effect is generated in the currently-started game play. When an affirmative determination is made in step S1502, a confrontation effect setting process is executed in step S1503. Here, the confrontation effect setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the confrontation effect setting process, it is determined in step S1601 whether the current game play is any of RU probability variation big hit results A, B and C, normal big hit results, special probability variation big hit results and most advantageous big hit results . If an affirmative determination is made in step S1601, address information corresponding to the information on the variable display time and the win effect is specified in step S1602, and the specified address information is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address of the work RAM 404. It memorizes and sets victory production as production of this game time. In addition, if the negative determination is made in step S1601, that is, the game result of the current game is not any of the above, and the current game has a high frequency game number counter of “10”. If so, in step S1603, the address information corresponding to the variable display time information and the defeat effect is specified, and the specified address information is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address of the work RAM 404. We set defeat production as production of turn. In step S1603, after setting the defeat effect, the defeat effect flag is stored in the various flag storage area 422 of the work RAM 404. The flag causes the effect of the content regretting that the girl's character has been defeated in the symbol display device 41 at each game cycle when the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is between “9” and “0”. This flag is a flag for deleting when changing from the second display mode to the third display mode in the display mode change process (step S1210).

  Returning to the description of the effect setting process (FIG. 28) for the second display mode and the third display mode, when a negative determination is made in step S1502, the process proceeds to step S1504. In step S1504, it is determined based on the process of step S1401 whether the reinforcement effect is generated. When the reinforcement effect occurs, the address information corresponding to the information on the variable display time and the reinforcement effect is specified in step S1505, and the specified address information is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address of the work RAM 404. Let's set up a reinforcement production as a production for this game. If a negative determination is made in step S1504, it is determined in step S1506 whether a development effect is generated, and if a development effect is generated, the information of the variable display time and the development effect are generated in step S1507. The address information corresponding to is specified, the specified address information is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address of the work RAM 404, and the development effect is set as the effect of the current game round.

  By storing the address information for each effect in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address, the MPU 402 generates an internal command for the VDP 405 in the output processing of the internal command, and corresponds to each effect set this time. The symbol display device 41 is driven so that the effect is performed. The VDP 405 reads out the image data from the character ROM 406 in accordance with the internal command, and writes the read out image data into the video RAM 407 by referring to the effect data table. Specifically, when information for winning effect is received from MPU 402, the corresponding data table for winning effect is referred to, and when information for losing effect is received, the corresponding data table for losing effect is referred to. When the information for reinforcement effect is received, the corresponding data table for reinforcement effect is referred to, and when the information for development effect is received, the image data read out with reference to the corresponding data table for development effect Is written to the video RAM 407. Thereby, in the symbol display device 41, display corresponding to each effect set this time is performed. A plurality of types of effect data tables are set so that the effect contents differ depending on the fluctuation display time. That is, in the data table for winning effect, for example, data tables in which the patterns attacked by the girl's character are different are set. Moreover, in the data table for defeat effect, for example, data tables in which the patterns attacked by the enemy characters are different are set. Furthermore, in the enhanced rendering data table, for example, data tables with different types of swords and magic to be acquired are set, and in the development rendering data table, for example, data tables with different facial expressions of background and zoom up are set. Therefore, the VDP 405 reads out the data table corresponding to each effect content and the fluctuation display time based on the received internal command.

  The type of the data table and the contents of the effect are not limited to this, and different types according to the degree of expectation to shift to the open / close execution mode for open / close control in a long time mode instead of or in addition to the variable display time It may be configured to select the data table of

  An example of each data table will be described with reference to FIG. 29 (a) shows a data table for victory effect, FIG. 29 (b) shows a data table for defeat effect, FIG. 29 (c) shows a data table for reinforcement effect, and FIG. 29 (d) shows a development effect Shows a data table for

  Here, in the case of displaying a moving image corresponding to the game result of each gaming time on the display screen G of the symbol display device 41, the data table is for displaying an image for one frame which is periodically updated. Necessary processing is a defined information group. Each frame in the data table is updated so as to advance the information of the pointer set in the data table by one frame in pointer update processing (not shown). Based on the updated pointer information, the MPU 402 gives a drawing instruction to the VDP 405, and a moving image is displayed on the display screen G of the symbol display device 41.

  As shown in FIGS. 29 (a) to 29 (d), in each data table, information on the number of frames, which is information indicating the number of the frame after the presentation for the game run is started, and in each frame The information of the used data group to be used is set in one-to-one correspondence. In addition, in each of the effects, in the confrontation effect in which the victory effect is selected and the confrontation effect in which the defeat effect is selected, the section from the start to the middle of the game effect is common to the effect contents in the symbol display device 41 Exists. Furthermore, since the development effect is always displayed when the confrontation effect and the reinforcement effect are displayed, even in the game session where only the confrontation effect, the reinforcement effect and the development effect are performed, from the start to the middle of the effect, There is a section in which the effect contents in the symbol display device 41 are common. That is, in accordance with the existence of the common section of each of the effects, the data tables of FIGS. 29A to 29D share the effects.

  That is, the same use data group is set up to the frame numbers F (1) to F (q-x-1) corresponding to the common section in the game round where only the confrontation effect, the reinforcement effect and the development effect are performed. As shown in FIG. 29A, an image in which the expression of the girl's character is zoomed up is displayed, and there is a possibility of developing into the confrontation effect or the reinforcement effect, that is, transition to any open / close execution mode It is set to indicate that there is a possibility. After that, in the victory effect data table and the defeat effect data table, the same use data group is set up to the frame numbers F (q−x) to F (q−y−1), as shown in FIG. As shown in), an image where a girl character and an enemy character face each other with a sword or magic is displayed, and the content to make it predict whether it will be a victory effect or a defeat effect, ie, a variable winning device in a long time mode The content is set to predict whether the result will be transition to the open / close execution mode in which the open / close control mode 32 is controlled or the high frequency support mode will end. Then, after the number of frames F (q−y) of the victory effect data table and the defeat effect data table, an image corresponding to each effect is displayed. That is, in the victory effect data table, as shown in FIG. 29C, the girl character wins and is covered with dazzling light during the period from the frame number F (q-y) to the final frame F (q). An effect is performed, and it is set so that the player can recognize transition to the opening / closing execution mode in which the variable winning device 32 is opened / closed in a long time mode. Also, in the data table for defeat effect, as shown in FIG. 29D, during the period from the number of frames F (q-y) to the final frame F (q), the girl character loses and the effect of sadness is lost. And is set so that the player can recognize that the high frequency support mode will end thereafter.

  After the number of frames F (q−x) in the reinforcement rendering data table and the development rendering data table, images corresponding to the renderings are set to be displayed. That is, after the frame number F (q-x) of the data table for reinforcement effect, as shown in Fig. 29 (E), an image in which the girl acquires an item easy to win in the confrontation is displayed. It is set to predict whether to shift to the high probability mode based on that. Also, after the frame number F (q-x) of the development effect data table, neither the confrontation effect nor the reinforcement effect is developed, and as shown in FIG. 29F, the girl character and the enemy character face each other. An image to be displayed is displayed so that the player can recognize that the transition to the low frequency support mode and the transition to the open / close execution mode are not performed in the current game session.

  Returning to the description of the effect setting process (FIG. 27) for the second display mode and the third display mode, if a negative determination is made in step S1506, any of the confrontation effect, the reinforcement effect and the development effect in the current game round Also, the facing rendering setting process is performed so that the situation in which the girl's character and the enemy's character are facing each other is displayed from various angles. In this process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the post-defeat effect flag is stored, and if the post-defeat effect flag is stored, the post-defeat effect is set. Further, when the after-effect effect flag is not stored, the information of the fluctuation display time stored in the register of the MPU 402 with reference to the counter display pattern table provided in the fluctuation display pattern table storage area 412 of the program ROM 403 The information on the counter display pattern corresponding to both the stop information address and the stop information address is specified, and the specified address information is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address provided in the work RAM 404. The address information generates an internal command in the output process of the internal command, and drives the symbol display device 41 so that an anti-counter effect corresponding to the effect set this time is performed. Thereby, in the symbol display device 41, the display of the counterfeit effect corresponding to the display pattern set this time is performed.

  After the process of step S1503, step S1505, step S1507 or step S1508 is performed, the effect setting process for the second display mode and the third display mode is ended.

  That is, in the game time to execute the variable display in the second display mode, the confrontation effect is the game time to shift to the open / close execution mode to open and close the variable winning device 32 in a long time mode, or the value of the high frequency game frequency counter It is displayed only at any of the game times of "10". In addition, in the game session in which the confrontation effect is transferred to the open / close execution mode in which the variable winning device 32 is controlled to open or close in a long time mode, after the confrontation effect, a victory effect is displayed and the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is “ In the game session which is 10 ", after the confrontation effect, a defeat effect is displayed. When the defeat effect is displayed, the effect after defeat is displayed until the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes “0” in the subsequent game times, and the value of the high frequency frequency game frequency counter becomes “0” In the second gaming state transition process described above, transition to the low frequency support mode, and transition to the third display mode.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1501, the effect setting process for the third display mode in steps S1509 to S1515 is executed. In the effect setting process for the third display mode, it is determined in step S1509 whether a confrontation effect is generated. When the confrontation effect occurs, in step S1510, the setting of the victory effect is performed. This process is the same as the process of step S1602 in the above-mentioned confrontation effect setting process (FIG. 28). Here, in the situation where the variable display is performed in the third display mode, the defeat effect is not set. This is because the game times in which the confrontation effect to be the defeat effect occurs, that is, the situation in which the high frequency game number counter is "10" always corresponds to the game times in which the variable display is performed in the second display mode.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1509, it is determined in step S1511 whether or not reinforcement effect occurs. When the reinforcement effect occurs, setting of the reinforcement effect is performed in step S1512. This process is the same as the process of step S1505. If a negative determination is made in step S1511, it is determined in step S1513 whether a development effect is generated. When the development effect is generated, the development effect is set in step S1514. The process is the same as the process of step S1507.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1513, standby effect setting processing is executed in step S1515. This processing refers to both the information of the fluctuation display time stored in the register of the MPU 402 and the information of the stop information address with reference to the display pattern table for standby provided in the fluctuation display pattern table storage area 412 of the program ROM 403. The information of the corresponding display pattern for standby is specified, and the specified address information is stored in the storage area 424 of the pattern information address provided in the work RAM 404. The address information generates an internal command in the output process of the internal command, and drives the symbol display device 41 so that the standby effect corresponding to the effect set this time is performed. Thereby, in the symbol display device 41, display of the standby effect corresponding to the display pattern set this time is performed.

  After the process of step S1510, step S1512, step S1514 or step S1515 is performed, the effect setting process for the second display mode and the third display mode is ended.

<About display mode and support mode transition based on each game result>
Next, the display mode based on each game result and the transition of the support mode will be described using FIG.

  The pachinko machine 10 is set such that the display mode becomes the first display mode when the power is turned on. That is, the first display flag is stored in the RAM 204 in the activation process after the power is turned on. The variation display in the first display mode is started based on the game balls winning in the respective operation openings 33, 34, and the open / close execution mode is started when the game result shifts to any of the open / close execution modes. If the game result that triggers the open / close execution mode is any of RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C, normal big hit result and special probability variation big hit result, any of 45 times to 100 times after the open / close execution mode ends Transition to high frequency support mode up to the number of times. In addition, the display mode of each game time shifts to the second display mode. However, if it is either RU probability variation jackpot result A, B, C or special probability variation jackpot result, transition to the high probability mode is made, and if transition to the low probability mode is the case of normal jackpot result. The high frequency support mode transitioning based on these game results continues until transitioning to the open / close execution mode in which opening / closing control is performed in a long time mode, or until the high frequency game number counter becomes “0”.

  In the high frequency support mode, a confrontation effect is executed in the game times for transitioning to the open / close execution mode in which the opening / closing control is controlled in a long time mode, or in the game times where the high frequency game number counter is “10”. However, in the former case, the confrontation effect is a victory effect, and in the case of the latter, the confrontation effect is a defeat effect.

  When the winning effect is achieved, the support mode is reset after the open / close execution mode, and each game play is variably displayed in the second display mode. On the other hand, when the defeat effect is produced, the support mode shifts to the low frequency support mode and the display mode shifts to the third display mode, triggered by the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becoming "0". However, even in this case, the lottery mode does not shift. Therefore, an event occurs in which the support mode shifts to the low frequency support mode but the lottery mode does not shift to the low probability mode. As a result, the sense of loss due to the end of the support mode can be mitigated, and even if the support mode is ended, it is possible to play a game while expecting that the lottery mode is the high probability mode internally. The third display mode continues until it wins the transition lottery of the display mode in each game time (step S1109 in FIG. 23), and shifts to the first display mode when it wins the transition lottery of the display mode.

  Here, the confrontation effect to be a defeat effect is executed only at the game times when the high frequency game frequency counter is “10”, and the minimum continuation frequency of the high frequency support mode is 45 times, so that high frequency In the 34th game run after the support mode is started, the victory effect is always produced when the confrontation effect is executed. As a result, after performing the confrontation effect, a victory effect that suggests switching to the opening / closing execution mode in which opening / closing control is performed in a long time mode and a defeat effect that suggests that the high frequency support mode is ended are alternatively selected. In the configuration selected in the above, it is possible to provide a period in which a win effect is produced whenever the confrontation effect is executed for a certain period.

  After the open / close execution mode which shifts based on the most advantageous jackpot result or the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the lottery mode shifts to the high probability mode, and the display mode shifts to the second display mode. Also, the support mode shifts to the frequent support mode. However, since the high frequency game frequency counter is not set, the high frequency support mode continues until the next big hit result. Furthermore, since the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is not set, when the confrontation effect is executed during the high frequency support mode, the defeat effect is not produced and the victory effect is always produced.

  After the open / close execution mode transitioning based on the implicit probability variation jackpot result or the exceptional result, the display mode shifts to the third display mode, and the support mode differs depending on the state of the support mode up to that point. Specifically, in the case of the high frequency support mode, transition to the high frequency support mode with unlimited number of times regardless of the presence or absence of the frequency limit, and in the low frequency support mode, the low frequency support mode It will be continued. Further, the lottery mode shifts to the high probability mode in the case of the implicit probability variation jackpot result, and in the case of the special outlier result, the height of the lottery mode does not shift.

  According to the present embodiment described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  A confrontation effect is set as an effect of each game run performed by the symbol display device 41. The confrontation effect is not the game result of transitioning to the opening / closing execution mode and the winning effect that suggests that the game result is transitioning to the opening / closing execution mode in which the variable winning device 32 is controlled to open / close in a long time mode. Defeat effect that suggests that is set. In addition, during the period up to the 34th game cycle after the opening / closing execution mode, the victory effect is executed but the defeat effect is not executed. Therefore, until 34 times of game times after the opening and closing execution mode which controls the opening and closing in long time mode are performed, when the confrontation effect is executed, the confrontation effect is necessarily a period when the victory effect is achieved, and a novel game can be made it can. As a result, the player can play the game expecting that the confrontation effect will be executed until the 34th time.

  The number of continuation times set in the high frequency game number setting process is set in a plurality of types. Therefore, the player plays a game while predicting which number of continuations has been set, and expects that a long number of continuations has been set. Therefore, the degree of attention of the high frequency support mode can be increased.

  The probability that the number of continuations is 45 times, 55 times, 65 times, and 100 times is higher than the probability that other times. Thus, for example, the player can play games expecting to continue up to 65 times, and can expect to continue up to 100 times if continued beyond 65 times. As a result, it is possible to add tonation to each game of the high frequency support mode, and to increase the attention of the high frequency support mode.

  The number of continuations is set to any of 45 times to 100 times. Therefore, the high frequency support mode may end in each game session, and it becomes possible to increase the attention level of the high frequency support mode.

  When the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes “10”, it is configured to execute a confrontation effect that is a defeat effect. The transition to the opening / closing execution mode in which the opening / closing control is performed in the long time mode as described above when the confrontation effect is a winning effect, and the high frequency support mode may end thereafter when the confrontation effect is a defeat effect. Therefore, the subsequent degree of advantage is largely different depending on the contents of the confrontation effect, and the player pays attention to which of the effect contents will be obtained when the confrontation effect is executed. On the other hand, since it is decided that at least the 34th event will be a winning effect if it becomes a confrontation effect, the player will play a game expecting that the confrontation effect will be executed, thereby improving the interest of the game Good results.

  If it is the explicit probability variation jackpot result or the most advantageous jackpot result, transition to the high frequency support mode with no number limit is made, and the high frequency play number counter is not set. Therefore, even when the confrontation effect is executed during the high frequency support mode, the victory effect is always produced after the confrontation effect. This makes it possible to diversify the period in which the winning effect will be made whenever the confrontation effect is executed.

  In the case of any one of the implicit definite jackpot result, the explicit definite jackpot result and the special outlier result, the reinforcement effect is executed. When performing reinforcement presentation, development presentation is performed as the first step. This developmental presentation is also performed as a stage before the confrontation production. Furthermore, when the gaming times resulting in these gaming results are the high frequency support mode, there is no transition to the low frequency support mode in the transition processing at the end of the open / close execution mode. That is, the high frequency support mode is continued when the reinforcement presentation is performed after the development presentation. On the other hand, after the development effect, it becomes a confrontation effect, and when it is a defeat effect, the high frequency support mode ends. Therefore, the player pays attention to the subsequent presentation contents of the development presentation, and the interest can be improved.

Second Embodiment
In the present embodiment, the continuation mode of the high-frequency support mode in which transition is made based on the RU probability variation jackpot results A, B, C is different. The different contents are described below.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing transition processing at the end of the open / close execution mode in the present embodiment.

  In the transition processing at the end of the open / close execution mode in the present embodiment, step S1701 is the same as in the first embodiment in the case of any of the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the most advantageous jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result. In step S1713, the setting of the support mode and the lottery mode is performed in accordance with each game result. In addition, when the negative determination is made in step S1708, and it is determined that the special outlier result is not obtained in step S1714, that is, the RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C, the normal jackpot result and the special probability variation big hit result, step S1715 In step S1717, the setting of the lottery mode is performed as in the first embodiment. Further, as in the first embodiment, in the subsequent steps S1718 and S1719, the high frequency support mode is set and the high frequency game number counter is set. In the subsequent step S1720, unlike the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not it is a normal jackpot result or a special probability variation jackpot result. In the case of the normal jackpot result or the special probability variation jackpot result, the number limit flag is stored in step S1721, and in the case of any RU probability variation jackpot result A, B, C, the number limit flag is selected in step S1722. to erase. The subsequent processing of steps S1723 to S1727 is the same as the processing of steps S921 to S925 in the first embodiment.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in the case of any RU probability variation jackpot results A, B, C, although the high frequency game frequency counter is set, the frequency limit flag is not stored. On the other hand, in the case of the normal jackpot result or the special probability variation jackpot result, the high frequency game frequency counter is set and the frequency restriction flag is stored as in the first embodiment.

  The second variation display time setting process and the second gaming state transition process in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 23 again.

  In the second variable display time setting process (FIG. 17), the variable display time for confrontation effect is set on the condition that the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is “10” in step S604. That is, as in the first embodiment, in the high-frequency support mode shifted based on either RU probability variation jackpot results A, B, C, normal jackpot results or special probability variation jackpot results, In the game round where the value is "10", a confrontation effect that is a defeat effect is executed.

  On the other hand, in the second gaming state transition process (FIG. 23), similarly to the first embodiment, it is determined in step S1101 whether or not the high frequency support mode is selected, and the number of high frequency games is determined in step S1102. It is determined whether the value of the counter is "0". If the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is “0”, the presence or absence of the frequency restriction flag is confirmed in the subsequent step S1103. Here, as described above, in the case of RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C, since the count restriction flag is not stored, a negative determination is made in step S 1103, and the subsequent processing is not performed, and the high frequency game The frequent support mode continues even if the value of the number counter becomes "0". On the other hand, in the case of the normal jackpot result or the special probability variation jackpot result, transition to the low frequency support mode is performed on the condition that the value of the high frequency game number counter is “0”.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the case of the high frequency support mode shifted based on any RU probability variation jackpot result A, B, C, the game in which the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is “10” In the times, although the confrontation effect to be a defeat effect is executed, even if the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes “0”, it does not shift to the low frequency support mode, and thereafter until it usually becomes a big hit result, High frequency support mode continues. Further, in this case, even if the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is "0", the second display mode continues without shifting to the third display mode.

  Although not shown in the figure, in the high frequency support mode started with one of RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C as a trigger, the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes “0”, the winning effect is produced The player is able to identify that the high frequency support mode is to be continued. Specifically, when the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is "10" in step S604 of the second variation display time setting process (FIG. 17), and the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is "0", If the number limit flag is not stored, it is determined whether or not it is one. In this way, the variation display time for confrontation effect is set in the high frequency support mode started with the RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C as a trigger and the value of the high frequency game number counter becomes “0”. Be done. Further, information on the fact that the value of the high-frequency game frequency counter is “0” and the game times for executing the confrontation effect to be the winning effect is included in the fluctuation command transmitted from the main control device 81. The display control device 400 having received this fluctuation command recognizes that the confrontation effect is generated in the effect determination process (FIG. 27) for the second display mode and the third display mode, and the confrontation effect setting process (FIG. 28) Set up a confrontation effect that will be a winning effect at.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the confrontation effect to be the victory effect may also be executed regardless of the game result. That is, the confrontation effect which is a defeat effect executed when the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is "10" is also the confrontation effect which is a victory effect executed when the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is "0" Also, it can be said that the effect is executed without being triggered by the lottery result.

  According to the present embodiment described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  If it is any RU probability variation big hit results A, B, C, although the high frequency game frequency counter is set by the high frequency game frequency setting process, the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes “0” Even frequent support mode will continue. On the other hand, in the case of the normal jackpot result or the special probability variation jackpot result, the high frequency support mode ends when the value of the high frequency game number counter becomes “0”. Therefore, whether or not the high frequency support mode continues can be differentiated depending on the type of the jackpot result if the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes "0". This makes it possible for the player to pay attention to which jackpot result and to increase the attention degree of the game round when the value of the high-frequency game number counter is “0”.

  Further, in the above configuration, the same high frequency game frequency table is used for setting regardless of the type of the jackpot result. Therefore, each set number of times for any of the above jackpot results is the same expected value. Thereby, although the number of times of setting is the same, it is possible to realize the case where the high frequency support mode continues and the case where it does not continue, and the degree of attention of the game times when the value of the high frequency game number counter becomes "0". Can be further enhanced.

<Other Embodiments>
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, A various deformation | transformation improvement is possible within the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, it may be changed as follows. Incidentally, the configuration of the other embodiment described below may be applied individually to the configuration of the above embodiment, or may be applied in combination.

  (1) In the above embodiment, the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is “45” to “100”, but it is not limited to this. For example, the minimum selection numerical value may be set smaller than "45", and the maximum selection numerical value may be set larger than "100". However, from the viewpoint of setting a period that will always be a victory effect when the confrontation effect is executed, the minimum selection value is the value of the high frequency game frequency counter that executes the confrontation effect that will be a defeat effect (the above In form, it is desirable that it is "10" or more.

  (2) Although the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is configured to be selected from all values from "45" to "100", it is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured to include a value not to be selected, or may be configured to include a numerical value band not to be selected so as not to select "80" to "99", such as "50" or "100" Only two types of values may be used. In these cases, it is preferable to change the value of the high frequency game frequency counter for executing the confrontation effect which is the defeat effect to a value that can be selected as described above.

  In addition, in order to have an effect of predicting when the high frequency support mode will end in each game time of successive game times, it is preferable that at least a continuous numerical range be included as selectable numerical values.

  (3) In the high frequency game frequency table, although “45”, “55”, “65”, and “100” are easily selected, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of easy to select numerical values may be smaller or larger than this. Any numerical value may be selected with the same probability. A numerical band easy to select may be provided to make it easy to select “45” to “55”, and a numerical band hard to select may be provided to make it difficult to select “56” to “75” . However, from the viewpoint that the possibility of continuing until the other predetermined number of times increases when the number of continuations of the high frequency support mode becomes equal to or more than the predetermined number, a table in which at least two types of numbers are easy to select Is desirable.

  (4) In the high frequency game frequency setting process, the high frequency game frequency is set by acquiring the value of the big hit random number counter C1 and referring to the high frequency game frequency table, but it is not limited to this. For example, the values of the fluctuation type counter CS, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 may be used, or a counter for high frequency game number setting processing may be separately provided and the counter may be used.

  (5) In the high frequency game frequency setting process, the high frequency game frequency is determined regardless of the type of the game result, but it is not limited to this, a high frequency game frequency table is provided for each type of game result, At least a part of the high frequency game numbers to be selected may be different between a predetermined game result and another type of game result, or the high frequency game numbers to be selected may be different depending on the type of game result. For example, in the case of a large jackpot result, the table is highly likely to select a high frequency game number of times, and in the case of each other probability variation jackpot result, a high frequency game number of times less than that is selected It is good also as a table with high possibility of doing. In this case, since the high probability mode is likely to continue even if the defeat effect is produced when the confrontation effect is executed with a small number of times, it is assumed that the game ball required to be the next big hit is small ,preferable. In addition, if a large number of times is selected based on the normal jackpot result, since the number of times of drawing of each game time increases, the probability of being a big hit will be high in the game time in the meantime although it is the low probability mode. Therefore, as a result, both are preferable to the player.

  Furthermore, if the high frequency support mode continues to be set, the possibility of staying in the high probability mode increases as the high frequency support mode continues if the relationship of the high frequency game frequency in this configuration is set reversely. It is possible to increase the degree of attention.

  (6) Although it was set as the structure which performs confrontation production which becomes defeat production, when the value of a high frequency game frequency counter is "10", it is not limited to this. For example, the effect may be executed when the value of the high frequency game frequency counter is a predetermined value smaller than "10", and the effect may be performed when the predetermined value is larger than "10". May be executed. In the former case, the minimum value is “0”, and in this case, the game times for executing the defeat effect and the game times for ending the high-frequency support mode coincide with each other, and the control configuration can be simplified. Further, in the latter case, the maximum value is "99", and in this case, after the defeat game is performed until the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes "0", the game effect after defeat is repeated Although it will always be a victory effect if the confrontation effect is executed during this period, it is possible to realize a period in which the player expects the confrontation effect to be executed over a longer period of time. .

  (7) The variable display of each game time in the symbol display device 41 is configured to be executed in one of the first display mode, the second display mode and the third display mode, but is not limited to this. For example, the variable display may not be performed in the second display mode or the third display mode, or may not be performed in the second display mode and the third display mode. In these cases, the confrontation effect executed in the second and third display modes is substituted by the reach display in the first display mode, and the open / close control is performed in the long time mode until the value of the high frequency game frequency counter becomes "10". The reach display is executed only when the game result shifts to the opening / closing execution mode, and the out-of-reach display is executed when the value of the high frequency game number counter becomes “10”, which is equivalent to the above. It is possible to achieve the effect of However, from the viewpoint of making the player clearly recognize that it is a game cycle that will always be a big hit when the reach display is executed, it is desirable to perform the variable display in such a manner that at least the interval can be recognized.

Further, the development effect may be executed only in the game round in which the confrontation effect is executed regardless of the game result or the value of the reach random number counter C3.

  (12) Although it was considered as the high probability mode of unlimited number of times based on becoming explicit probability variation big hit result or the most advantageous big hit result, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured to shift to a high probability mode with a limited number of times based on at least one of these. In this case, the number of continuations of the high probability mode may be the same as the number of continuations of the high frequency support mode, or may be different.

  (13) In the high frequency game number setting process, set the number of continuations of the high frequency support mode with the number of times limit, and execute the confrontation effect that becomes defeat effect in the predetermined number of times (high frequency game number counter = "10") In addition to or instead of this, the number of continuations of the lottery mode may be different. Specifically, in the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode, a process for setting the number of continuations of the high probability mode is added, or instead of the high frequency game number setting process, the low probability mode is reached. It is good to set it as the structure which becomes defeat presentation in the frequency | count of continuation of the set high probability mode, after setting it as the structure which transfers to. Also in this case, the confrontation effect executed with less than the minimum number of continuations of the high probability mode is always a victory effect.

The gaming machine according to any one of the features B6 to B9, wherein the degree of expectation is relatively high, or the degree of expectation is high.

  According to the feature B10, in the case of the special transition handling result of the predetermined type, the predetermined number of times is set so as to be a larger number of times than in the case of the other types of special transition handling results. Therefore, the number of continuations of the specific state is different depending on the type of special transition handling result. Thus, the degree of attention to the determination result of the transition determination means can be increased, and the degree of attention can also be increased to the number of continuations of the specific state.
