Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine.

  As a game machine, a game medium such as a game ball is shot into a game area by a launch device, and when a game medium is prized in a prize area such as a prize hole provided in the game area and execution conditions are satisfied, plural types of identification There is a pachinko gaming machine in which information is variably displayed on a variable display device, and it is determined whether or not a predetermined game value is to be given based on the display result, that is, a pachinko gaming machine in which the amusement of the game is enhanced by a so-called variable display game. In such a pachinko gaming machine, when the stop symbol aspect when the variable display of the display symbol in the variable display game is completely stopped becomes the specific display aspect, it becomes a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. For example, a pachinko gaming machine that has become a big hit gaming state opens a special electric role called a big winning opening or an attachment, and makes the winning of the gaming ball extremely easy to give the player a predetermined gaming value. Provide for a fixed time continuously.

  In addition, after the end of the big hit game state, it is possible to control to the definite change state as the advantageous state for the player, and the variable display game is executed a predetermined number of times as the specific period has passed in the definite change state. Accordingly, in the gaming machine which can be controlled to the time saving state or the normal state as the predetermined state which is more disadvantageous than the probability changing state, it is proposed that the special effect is executed over the period in which the predetermined number of variable display games are executed in the probability changing state. (E.g. Patent Document 1).

JP, 2016-016061, A

  According to the technology described in Patent Document 1, if controlled to an advantageous state, the same special effects are always executed, so it is not possible to enhance monotony and interest.

  This invention is made in view of the said situation, and an object of this invention is to provide the gaming machine which can improve the interest without making a special effect monotonous.

  (1) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to the present invention has an advantageous state (for example, a probability change state, a chance time of the first modification, etc.) advantageous for the player and a specific period For example, during the period when the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times in the definite change state, or in the chance time of the modification 1, the variable display of the first special symbol changes the special figure fluctuation time than when the gaming state is the low base state. Can be controlled to a predetermined state (for example, a normal state, a low base state of the first modification, etc.) that is more disadvantageous than the above-mentioned advantageous state according to the passage of a period of one execution with a long fluctuation pattern). It is a gaming machine, and a special effect (for example, a boss) over a part of the specific period (for example, a period in which the probability variation residual number is equal to or less than a predetermined number, the last 120 seconds of the chance time of modification 1) The special effect execution means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 for executing effects during a battle with the boss's enemy character, etc.) for executing the effect during battle with the enemy character is provided, and the special effect execution means The special conditions differ depending on the number of times the advantageous condition controlled to be controlled (for example, the number of times the jackpot gaming state is controlled, the number of times the jackpot type "big hit" is made to enter the chance time of variant 1) It is possible to carry out an effect.

  In such a configuration, the special effects are not monotonous and the interest can be improved.

  (2) In the gaming machine of the above (1), an ending condition for ending the counting of the number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition (for example, the time saving state ends without the variable display result being "big hit" during time saving control Informing means (e.g., continuous chan announcing effect) to notify the counted number of times of forming the advantageous condition (e.g., the number of consecutive chann, etc.) when normal state is not established) And the like) may further be provided.

  In such a configuration, the number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition can be associated with the special effect, and the player can be made aware of the number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition.

  (3) In the gaming machine of the above (1) or (2), the special effect executing means is the number of times of establishment of a specific advantageous condition among the advantageous conditions (for example, the big hit gaming state of the big hit type “second big hit” Depending on the fact that the number of times controlled) has reached the specific number of times, it may be possible to execute a special effect of the specific aspect (for example, an effect during battle with an enemy character of Lass boss (black), etc.).

  In such a configuration, it is possible for the player to have a sense of expectation that the specific advantageous condition is established.

  (4) The gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (3), further comprising notification means (for example, CPU 120 for effect control for executing a boss advance effect etc.) for giving notification that the special effect is to be executed. May be

  In such a configuration, it can be recognized in advance that the special rendering is performed.

  (5) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (4), information regarding variable display of the first special identification information (for example, the first special symbol etc.) is stored as the first hold storage information; Hold storage means (eg, first special view hold storage unit, second special view hold storage unit, etc.) for storing information on variable display of special identification information (eg, second special symbol) as second hold storage information; When it is possible to execute variable display of the first special identification information and variable display of the second special identification information, and when the first holding storage information and the second holding storage information are both stored in the holding storage means , Variable display means which prioritizes and executes the variable display of the second special identification information corresponding to the second reserved storage information (for example, the special drawing game using the second special drawing is the special drawing using the first special drawing Such as execution starts prior to the game, etc.) The start condition of the variable display of the second special identification information by the variable display means in response to the predetermined display result (for example, per common drawing etc.) being derived and displayed in the variable display of the information (for example, normal symbol etc.) Variable means (for example, a normally variable winning ball device etc.) that changes to a second state in which the starting condition is easily satisfied from a first state in which it is difficult to establish or not satisfied, and the first variable display means as the advantageous state. Corresponding to a period during which variable display of special identification information is executed (for example, during variable display of the first special symbol in the high base state of the modification 1 etc.), the ratio for setting the variable means to the second state is the predetermined State control means (for example, CPU 103 etc.) to control to a state (for example, high base state etc.) to be higher than the state, and predetermined effect execution means (for example, effect control CPU) capable of executing predetermined effects And the like, and the state control means can be controlled to the advantageous state even when the advantageous condition is satisfied corresponding to the variable display of the second special identification information by the variable display means (for example, In the first modification, when the big hit game executed is a big hit C, a big hit D, a big hit E or any of the big hit types of the big hit type based on the variable display of the second special view, etc.), the predetermined effect execution means The mode of the predetermined effect may be made different depending on whether or not the first hold storage information is stored in the hold storage means when controlled to the advantageous state (for example, as shown in FIG. 39). , The effect mode of the big hit end effect differs depending on the presence or absence of the first special view reserve memory at the end of the big hit game etc), etc.).

  In such a configuration, attention can be paid to whether or not the second hold storage information is stored in a period corresponding to the variable display of the first special identification information, and the game interest can be improved.

  (6) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (5), the special effect execution means determines that the advantageous condition is newly established in the execution period of the special effect (for example, positive variation Depending on the timing of the determination in the execution period, etc.) that the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during control becomes a “big hit” is stored for the special effect after the determination The form may be made different (for example, the special figure game in which the variable display result of the variable display which may be performed during probability change control becomes "big hit" at the early stage of the period when battle production with the enemy character of a boss is performed. If is stored on hold, as an effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character becomes advantageous is frequently executed, an effect of an aspect in which the own character wins is executed, The player gives the impression that the character will fight well and wins, and at the late stage of the period when the battle effect with the enemy character of the boss is executed, the variable display result of the variable display which can be executed during the probability change control is In the case where the special-figure game to be "" is stored on hold, as a result of the effect of the aspect in which the form of the own character becomes disadvantageous is frequently executed, the effect of the aspect in which the own character wins is executed. And give the player the impression that the player character struggles and wins etc.

  In such a configuration, interest can be improved.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, showing an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails is formed. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is shot and shot from a predetermined ball striking device.

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, LEDs of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc. The special symbol which is identification information of is displayed variably. For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B can variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. Do. In addition, the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols, in which combinations of what are turned on and turned off in the 7-segment LED are different.

  A plurality of special symbols are given symbol numbers corresponding to them. As an example, symbol numbers “0” to “9” are attached to the numbers indicating “0” to “9”, and symbol numbers “10” are attached to the symbols indicating “−”. Just do it. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as the "second special view" .

  The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are both formed, for example, in a square shape. The type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same, or the types may be different. Further, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B may be configured to variably display numbers indicating, for example, "00" to "99".

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 includes, for example, an LCD, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the image display device 5, corresponding to the variable display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A in the special figure game and the variable display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions such as three, decorative symbols which are plural types of identification information capable of identifying each are variably displayed. The variable display of this decorative pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the image display device 5, decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to any one of the change of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the change of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B being started in the special figure game, In the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, variation of the decorative symbols is started. After that, when the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special view game, each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the "left", "middle" and "right" in the image display device 5 The finalized decorative pattern that is the result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed.

  Thus, in the display area of the image display device 5, the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A, or the special drawing using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B In synchronization with the game, variable display of a plurality of decorative patterns that can be identified respectively is performed, and a finalized decorative pattern to be a variable display result is derived and displayed. Note that, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as a special symbol and a decorative symbol means stopping display of identification information such as a decorative symbol and the like, and ending variable display. On the other hand, during the variable display from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when the fixed decorative symbol as the variable display result is derived and displayed, the change speed of the decorative symbol is "0", and the decorative symbol is displayed. For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed in a definite manner, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative symbol by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the decorative pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction.

  The decorative symbols variably displayed in the decorative symbols display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" are constituted by, for example, eight kinds of symbols. Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the decorative symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. The decorative design is not limited to eight types, and may be any number as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations, such as a combination of big hit and a lost combination.

  After the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, until the finalized decorative symbol to be the variable display result is derived and displayed, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R for "left", "middle" and "right" For example, when the scroll display is performed such that the symbol numbers flow sequentially from the top to the bottom from the one with the highest symbol number to the next, and the decorative symbol with the highest symbol number is displayed, the symbol number is subsequently minimized. A certain decorative pattern is displayed. Alternatively, when at least one of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is scrolled from a large symbol number to a small symbol number and a decorative symbol having the smallest symbol number is displayed, Subsequently, a decorative symbol with the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the image display device 5, a start winning storage display area 5H is disposed. In the start winning storage display area 5H, a holding storage display for specifying the number of holdings of variable display corresponding to the special view game is performed. Here, the game ball passes the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A, and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball device 6B, for suspension of variable display corresponding to the special view game. It occurs based on the starting winnings by doing. That is, although the start condition for executing the variable display game such as the special view game and the variable display of the decorative symbol is satisfied, that the variable display game is being executed based on the start condition established earlier When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to being controlled to the jackpot gaming state or the like, suspension of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is performed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the start winning a prize storage display area 5H, the first reserve for displaying the number of special view reserve storages in an identifiable manner on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The first special view reservation storage number is the number of storages for which the execution of the special view game using the first special view is suspended. The second special view reservation storage count is the number of storages for which the execution of the special view game using the second special view is suspended. The number of pending storages of the variable display obtained by adding the number of the first special view pending storage and the number of the second special view pending storage is particularly referred to as the total pending storage number. The term "number of Tokushu reserve storages" simply refers to a concept that includes all of the number of first to reserve special storages, the number of second reserve special storages, and the total number of pending storages, but in particular to some of these There are also cases.

  Under the image display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The regular winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening as a starting area which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is an electric motor having a pair of movable winglets that changes between a normally open state in a vertical position and an enlarged open state in a tilting position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric symbol shown in FIG. A tulip type character is provided, and a second start winning opening is formed as a start area different from the first start area.

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, when the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is in the off state, it is difficult for the game ball to easily pass the second starting winning hole It will be open. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by tilting control in which the movable wing piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is on. It becomes easy to expand and open. In addition, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normal opening state, the gaming ball may enter more than in the enlarged opening state. It may be configured to be low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball device 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening in the normally open state. As described above, the second start winning opening as the second start area changes between an enlarged open state in which the game ball easily passes and a normally open state in which the game ball hardly passes or can not pass.

  The game ball which has passed the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, a first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball which has passed the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, a second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. A predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first start opening switch 22A, and the first start if the number of the first special view pending storages is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit. The condition is met. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start opening switch 22B, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball, and the second special view reserve storage number is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit, the second start The condition is met. The number of winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first starting opening switch 22A and the number of the winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the second starting opening switch 22B. The numbers may be the same or different from each other.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning prize ball device 7 includes a special winning opening door which is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning opening door shown in FIG. 7 and a specific area which changes to an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. To form a winning opening as.

  As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the OFF state, the big winning mouth door closes the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball can not pass the big winning mouth . On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door opens the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball easily passes the big winning mouth Do. As described above, the special winning opening as the specific area is changed into an opened state in which the game ball easily passes, which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass and which is disadvantageous for the player. In place of the closed state in which the game ball can not pass through the big winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball hardly passes through the big winning opening may be provided.

  The game ball which has passed through the special winning opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. Based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the count switch 23, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as winning balls. Thus, when the game ball passes through the special winning opening that has been opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, for example, when the game ball passes other winning openings such as the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening. More prize balls are paid out. Therefore, when the special winning prize opening is opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the gaming ball can enter the special winning prize opening, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning hole is closed in the special variable winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult to get the winning ball by passing the gaming ball through the big winning hole, which is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes 2 states.

  An ordinary symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of LEDs of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc. like the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and plural kinds of identification information different from the special symbol The symbol is usually displayed variably. Such variable display of normal symbols is called a common game.

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a general drawing reserve display 25C is provided. The general drawing retention indicator 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general drawing retention memory number as the number of effective passing balls passed through the passing gate 41.

In addition, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening and the large winning opening, for example, a single or a plurality of general winning openings can be provided which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. It may be done. In this case, a predetermined number of gaming balls may be paid out as winning balls based on the fact that the gaming ball having entered one of the general winning openings is detected by the predetermined general winning ball switch. At the lowermost position of the game area, an out port is provided where game balls that have not entered any winning port are captured.

  At the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided, and further, a gaming effect lamp 9 is provided at the periphery of the gaming area. A decorative LED may be arranged around each structure in the gaming area of the pachinko gaming machine 1. At the lower right portion of the gaming machine frame 3 is provided a striking operation handle which is operated by a player or the like to fire a gaming ball as a gaming medium toward the gaming area. For example, the hit ball operating handle adjusts the resilience of the gaming ball in accordance with the amount of operation by the player or the like. The hitting control handle may be provided with a single-shot release switch or a touch ring for stopping the drive of the firing motor provided in the hit shooting device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, the gaming ball paid out as a winning ball and the gaming ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine can be supplied so as to be able to be supplied to the ball striking device. A plate is provided. At the lower part of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a lower tray for retaining the surplus balls and the like overflowing from the upper tray so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

A push sensor may be provided inside the main body of the upper tray or the like at the installation position of the push button 31B so as to detect a player's operation performed on the push button 31B.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the variable symbol display of the normal symbol is executed by the normal symbol display 20 such that the game ball passing through the passing gate 41 provided in the game area is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. For example, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition for starting the variable display of the normal symbol is started, for example, that the previous normal drawing game has ended, after the normal drawing start condition for the normal drawing is satisfied, the normal symbol display 20 The popular figure game by is started.

  In this common-play game, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when a predetermined time as the common-pattern fluctuation time has elapsed, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed. At this time, if a specific normal symbol such as a number indicating "7" is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common figure". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7” as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol is “general symbol lost” Become. In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol being "per common figure", the expansion and release control is performed such that the movable wing piece of the electrically-driven tulip that constitutes the normally variable winning ball device 6B is tilted. The normal release control is performed to return to the vertical position when.

  For example, after the first start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the occurrence of the start winning which is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. 2, the gaming ball having passed the first starting winning opening formed in the regular winning ball device 6A. A special drawing game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started based on the establishment of the first start condition by the previous special drawing game, the end of the big hit gaming state, or the like. In addition, the second start condition is satisfied by the occurrence of the start winning that the game ball which has passed the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, by the end of the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  In the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, after the variable display of the special symbol is started after the variable display of the special symbol is started, the variable display of the special symbol Derivate and display the finalized special symbol. At this time, if a specific special symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol, it becomes a "loss". .

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit", the game is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, as an example, a special symbol indicating the number "3" or "7" is a big hit symbol, and a special symbol indicating the symbol "-" is a lost symbol. Each symbol such as a big hit symbol or lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Also, the special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol or a lost symbol.

  After the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game and becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, in the big hit gaming state, the big winning opening door of the special variable winning ball device 7, predetermined upper limit time The big winning opening is in the open state in the period until the elapse of or the time until the predetermined number of winning balls are generated. As a result, a round for setting the special variable winning prize ball device 7 to a first state advantageous to the player is performed.

  The special winning opening door with the big winning opening opened during execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then the special winning opening is closed, thereby the special variable winning winning ball device 7 is changed to a second state disadvantageous to the player to complete one round. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number. Note that, even before the number of round executions reaches the upper limit number, round execution may be ended when a predetermined condition is met.

  The jackpot gaming state in which the upper limit number of times for making the special variable prize ball device 7 the first state advantageous to the player is relatively large as the number of times of execution of the round in the jackpot gaming state is also referred to as a long-term open jackpot state. On the other hand, the jackpot gaming state in which the upper limit number of times the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is in the first state is a relatively small number is also referred to as a short-term open jackpot state. The long-term open jackpot state is also referred to as a first specific gaming state, and the short-term open jackpot state is also referred to as a second specific gaming state. In this embodiment, the jackpot gaming state in which the number of round executions is "16" is also referred to as a 16R jackpot state, while the jackpot state in which the number of rounds execution is "6" is also referred to as a 6R jackpot state.

  Of the special symbols indicating the number of "3" or "7" that will be the jackpot symbol, the special symbol indicating the number of "7" is the 16R jackpot symbol, and the special symbol indicating the number of "3" is the 6R jackpot symbol . After the special symbol indicating the number of "7" which is the 16R big hit symbol as the finalized special symbol in the special figure game is derived, it is controlled to the 16R big hit state as a long-term open big hit state. On the other hand, after the special symbol indicating the number of "3" which is the 6R big hit symbol as the determined special symbol in the special figure game is derived, it is controlled to the 6R big hit state as the short-term open big hit state.

  In the 16R big hit state based on the fact that the confirmed special symbol as a variable display result in the special figure game has become the 16R big hit symbol, "16" is set relatively high as the upper limit number of rounds when the big winning opening becomes open state Thus, the substantial period in which the big winning opening is open from the start to the end of the jackpot gaming state is relatively long. Therefore, in the 16R big hit state, many game balls are easy to pass through the big winning opening. On the other hand, in the 6R big hit state based on the determined special symbol as the variable display result in the special view game becoming the 6R big hit symbol, the relatively small upper limit number of rounds in which the big winning opening is opened " Since "6" is set, the substantial period in which the big winning opening is in the open state from the start to the end of the big hit gaming state is relatively short. Therefore, in the 6R jackpot state, only game balls smaller than the 16R jackpot state can pass the large winning opening. Thus, in the case of the 16R big hit state where the long open big hit state is reached, control is performed to change the big winning opening to the first state and the second state in the first change mode in which the game ball easily passes. On the other hand, when in the 6R big hit state where the short-term open big hit state is reached, control is performed to change the big winning opening to the first state and the second state in the second change mode in which the game ball hardly passes.

  It is not limited to what makes passing easy of a game ball differ according to the number of times of execution of the round which makes a big prize mouth a 1st state, for example, passage of a game sphere according to the period which makes a big prize mouth a 1st state The ease of operation may be made different. As an example, the special winning opening door of the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the period until the predetermined upper limit period which is the first period elapses, or the period until the first number of winning balls occur In the open state, control is performed to change the large winning opening to the open state in the first change mode in which the game ball easily passes. On the other hand, the special winning prize opening door of the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is a period until a predetermined upper limit time which is a second period shorter than the first period elapses, or a period until a second number of winning balls are generated. By setting the special winning opening in the open state, control is performed to change the special winning opening to the open state in the second change mode in which the game ball hardly passes.

  A big win in the first big hit state in which the big winning opening is changed in the first change mode in all rounds executed when in the big hit gaming state, and in some rounds executed when the big hit gaming state A second jackpot state may be provided in which the mouth is changed in the second change mode. As an example, although the first big hit state and the second big hit state are both the upper limit number of rounds "16", in the first big hit state in the first change aspect the big winning opening in all of the 16 rounds While changing to the open state, after changing the big winning opening to the open state in the first change mode in 6 rounds of 16 rounds in the second big hit state, the big winning opening in the remaining 10 rounds May be changed to the open state in the second change mode. As described above, when in the first big hit state, control is performed to change the first winning state to the first state and the second state in the first change mode in which the game ball easily passes through the big winning opening, while in the second big hit state At some time, control may be performed to change the first state and the second state in a second change mode in which the game ball hardly passes the special winning opening in a predetermined period.

  For example, as in the game in the 16R big hit state, the game in the game state in which a large number of game balls easily pass through the big winning opening is an advantageous state for the player than the predetermined game in the 6R big hit state. In pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, a predetermined game and an advantageous game that is more advantageous to the player than a predetermined game are performed according to which of the 6R big hit state and the 16R big hit state is controlled as a big hit gaming state. It is feasible.

  In "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in image display device 5, a special figure game using the first special figure in first special symbol display device 4A Among the special drawing games using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B, variable display of the decorative design is started in response to the start of one of the special drawing games. Then, a period from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when variable display is ended by stop display of the decorative symbol in each of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. In this case, the variable display state of the decorative symbol may be in a predetermined reach state.

  In the reach state, when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the display is continuously changed with respect to the decorative pattern not being stopped and displayed yet It is a display state in which the state, or all or part of the decorative pattern changes synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in part of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "left", "middle" and "right", when the decorative symbols constituting the predetermined big hit combination are stopped and displayed, they are still displayed. In the remaining decorative symbol display area which is not stopped and displayed, the display condition in which the decorative symbol is changing, or in all or part of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" It is a display state in which the decorative design is fluctuating synchronously while constituting all or part of the big hit combination.

  In response to the reaching state, the variation speed of the decorative pattern is reduced, a character image different from the decorative pattern is displayed in the display area of the image display 5, and the display mode of the background image is changed. By rendering and displaying a moving image different from the decorative pattern or changing the variation pattern of the decorative pattern, a rendering operation different from that before reaching the reach state may be executed. A rendering operation such as a character image display, a change in the display mode of the background image, a reproduction display of a moving image, or a rendering operation such as a change in the variation pattern of the decorative pattern, or a combination of some or all of them It is called reach effect indication. In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the image display device 5, but also the voice output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, etc. An operation mode different from the above may be included.

  As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of effect patterns having different operation modes may be prepared in advance. And each reach mode differs in the possibility of becoming a "big hit". That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" can be made different depending on which of the plurality of reach effects is executed.

  In this embodiment, as an example, reach modes such as normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β are set in advance. Then, when the reach mode of the super reach such as the super reach α or the super reach β appears, the possibility that the variable display result is the “big hit” is higher than when the reach mode of the normal reach appears.

  Unlike the reach effect, the variable display state of the decorative pattern may reach the reach state during the variable display of the decorative pattern, or the variable display result may become the "big hit", etc. A variable display effect may be executed to notify the player by the variable display mode of the decorative symbol or the like. In this embodiment, variable display effects such as "slip" and "simulated link" can be performed. It may be determined whether or not to execute the variable display effect of “slip” or “simulated link” in response to the change pattern being determined on the main substrate 11 side. It should be noted that whether or not the variable display effect of “slip” is to be executed on the effect control substrate 12 side may be determined regardless of the variation pattern determined on the main substrate 11 side.

  Unlike variable display effects such as reach effects or "slip" or "simulated links" during variable display of decorative symbols, for example, displaying a predetermined effect image, image display or voice output as a message, etc. There is a possibility that the variable display state of the decorative symbol may reach the reach state by the effect operation different from the variable display operation of the decorative symbol such as lamp lighting, or the reach effect by the super reach may be executed. An advance notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance that there is a possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit". The production operation to be the preview production is the variable display state of the decorative design after the variable display of the decorative design is started in all of the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" It is sufficient if it is executed before the reach state. In addition, the notice effect that notifies that the variable display result may become a "big hit" may include one that is executed after the variable display state of the decorative symbol is in the reach state.

  When a special symbol to be a lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special drawing game, the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol does not reach the predetermined state after the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started. The fixed decoration pattern which becomes non reach combination of may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display mode of the decorative symbol is referred to as a "non-reach" variable display mode when the variable display result is "loss".

  When the special symbol to be the lost symbol is displayed as a stop as a final symbol in the special figure game, the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started after the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started. Then, after the reach effect is performed, or the reach effect is not performed, the finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined reach loss combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display result of a decorative symbol is referred to as a "reach" variable display mode in the case where the variable display result is "loss".

  When the special symbol to be the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the finalized special symbol in the special figure game, the predetermined reach effect is executed corresponding to the change display state of the decorative symbol becoming the reach state. After that, or the reach effect is not performed, the finalized decorative symbol which is a predetermined big hit combination is stopped and displayed. Here, for the finalized decorative pattern to be a big hit combination, for example, the symbol numbers variably displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the image display device 5 are “ Among the decorative symbols 1 ”to“ 8 ”, any one of the decorative symbols having the same symbol number is“ left ”,“ middle ”, and“ right ”in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. What is necessary is just the one displayed on the predetermined effective line and displayed in a stopped state.

  Depending on whether the special symbol derived as the finalized special symbol is the 16R big hit symbol or the 6R big hit symbol, the decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed as the big hit combination may be made different. As an example, when the 16R big hit symbol is derived as the finalized special symbol, the decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed in the big hit combination is selected for all of the decorative symbols of "1" to "8", while the 6R big hit is selected. When the symbol is derived as the finalized special symbol, the decorative symbol to be displayed in the big hit combination is selected for the decorative symbols whose symbol numbers are even "2", "4", "6" and "8" May be In this case, it is notified that the 16R big hit state will be reached by stopping display of any of the decorative symbols with odd number “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” in the big hit combination Be done. On the other hand, when any of the decorative symbols with symbol numbers “2”, “4”, “6” and “8” is stopped and displayed in the big hit combination, whether it will be 16R big hit state or 6R big hit state The player becomes unrecognizable or difficult to recognize.

  In response to the determined special symbol in the special figure game becoming the 6R big hit symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, or the reach effect is not executed, the decoration pattern of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed The variable display mode of the symbol is referred to as the "first jackpot" variable display mode. On the other hand, in response to the finalized special symbol in the special figure game becoming the 16R big hit symbol, the fixed ornament symbol of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed after the predetermined reach effect is executed or the reach effect is not executed. The variable display mode of the decorative symbol is called the "second jackpot" variable display mode.

  In this embodiment, after the big hit gaming state based on the fact that the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is "big hit" is controlled to the probability changing state where the probability change control is performed. By performing the probability change control, the variable display result becomes “big hit” and the probability of being further controlled to the big hit gaming state is improved to be higher than that in the normal state in the variable display of each special figure game and the decorative symbol. Do. Here, the normal state is the normal gaming state as the gaming state different from the specific gaming state such as the big hit gaming state, the probability change state, and the time saving state, and the same control as the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed .

  After the jackpot gaming state ends, time saving control may be performed along with the probability change control or separately from the probability change control. By performing the time saving control, the variation time of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. When time saving control is performed, control to shorten the variation time of the normal symbol in the regular drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 than in the normal state, or the variable display result of the regular symbol in each common drawing game Control to improve the probability of becoming a “hit” compared to that in the normal state, and a tilt control time for performing tilt control of the movable wing piece in the normally variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result becoming “per shot”. The game ball is likely to pass through the second start winning opening, such as control to make it longer than in the normal state and control to increase the number of tilting times more than in the normal state, and increase the possibility of the second start condition being met. This provides control that is advantageous to the player. Note that any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed. As described above, the control that is advantageous for the player because the game ball easily passes through the second start winning opening with the time saving control is referred to as high open control.

  By performing the high open control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening is in the wide open state is increased more than when the high open control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special drawing game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is easily established, and the special drawing game can be executed frequently. The time until the variable display result is a "big hit" is shortened. The period in which the high release control can be performed is also referred to as a high release control period. While the start and end of time saving control and high open control are performed simultaneously, the start and end of the probability change control may not be linked with the start or end of time saving control or high open control.

  The probability change control may be ended when either of a predetermined number of times the special drawing game is executed and the variable display result becomes “big hit” again, whichever condition is first established. However, when the variable display result is "big hit" again, it may be a positive change state in which positive change control is further performed after the big hit gaming state ends. The time saving control may end with the probability change control. Alternatively, any of a predetermined number of special figure games being executed before the final change control ends or after the final change control ends, or the variable display result becomes a "big hit" again The time saving control may be ended when the above condition is established first.

  A probability change state in which time-saving control is performed together with probability change control is also referred to as a high probability high base state. In addition, a probability change state in which only the probability change control is performed and the time reduction control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. Furthermore, the short time state in which only time saving control is performed without performing the probability variation control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability change control nor the time reduction control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. Thus, in addition to the high probability high base state in which time reduction control is performed along with the probability change control, the high probability state state in which only the positive change control is performed and the time reduction control is not performed is included in the positive change state. May be

  When probability change control, time reduction control and high open control are performed in a probability change state or a time reduction state, the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit" corresponding to each special view game is higher than usual, or each special figure Since the special view fluctuation time in the game is shortened and the second start condition is more easily established, the big hit gaming state is more likely than in the normal state. A gaming state which is likely to be a big hit gaming state as compared to such a normal state and advantageous to the player is referred to as a "special gaming state" different from the big hit gaming state as the specific gaming state. In addition, while a definite change state is also called a 1st special game state, a time saving state is also called a 2nd special game state. Moreover, the probability change state or the time saving state in which the high opening control is performed along with the time saving control is an advantageous change mode in which the game ball easily passes through the second start winning opening In some cases, the "advantage state" changes to the open state, or the "high base state".

  In this embodiment, a battle effect which is an effect during a probability change is executed in a predetermined period such as a period in which a predetermined number of special drawing games in a definite change state are executed. In the battle effect, an effect during battle is performed such that the player character plays against the enemy character. As an example, when the player character wins the battle with the enemy character in the battle effect, the player is notified in an identifiable manner that the probability change state ends and the jackpot gaming state is controlled. On the other hand, when the player character loses the battle against the enemy character in the battle effect, the player is notified that the probability change state is finished and the control is made to the short time state, in a recognizable manner. The effect of notifying the result of the battle according to the transition of the gaming state is also referred to as a battle result informing effect. As described above, the battle effect may include an effect during battle and a battle result notification effect. In this embodiment, for example, the player character can win the battle depending on which of a plurality of rendering modes during the battle effect such as whether the player character is superior to the enemy character or inferior to the enemy character. I have different sex.

The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte indicates MODE, and the second byte indicates EXT. The first bit of MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 3A is an example, and another command form may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is configured by two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one, or may be three or more.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3A, a command 8001H is a first change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. The command 8002H is a second change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. Command 81XXH is an ornament that is variably displayed in each of "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special figure game. It is a fluctuation pattern specification command which specifies a fluctuation pattern such as a symbol. Here, XXH represents an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set in accordance with the content of an instruction by the effect control command. In the fluctuation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set according to the fluctuation pattern or the like to be designated.

  The command 8CXXH is a variable display result notification command for specifying a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result notification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the determination result whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit”, or the variable display result is “big hit”. Different EXT data are set in accordance with the determination result as to which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be made. More specifically, the command 8C00H is a first variable display result notification command indicating a result of the prior determination that the variable display result is "loss". The command 8C01H is a second variable display result notification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type “first big hit” and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result notification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type "second big hit" and the big hit type determination result.

  The command 8F00H is a symbol determination command for designating stop of the variation of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a prize determination result specifying command for designating a predetermined determination result at the time of occurrence of the start winning, such as the first starting winning or the second starting winning. In this embodiment, a predetermined random number extracted at the occurrence of the start winning combination is determined to be included in a plurality of preset numerical ranges, and different data are determined based on the determination result in accordance with the determination result. Set as EXT data of specified command.

  The command A0XXH is a hit start designating command for designating the display of the effect image indicating the start of the big hit gaming state. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is in an open state in the big hit gaming state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after the opening of the special winning opening for notifying that it is a period in which the special winning opening has changed from the opening state to the closing state in the big hit gaming state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command that designates the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit gaming state.

  In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-decision result or the jackpot type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result notification command. . Alternatively, in the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-decision result and the jackpot type decision result and the EXT data to be set may be made different from the correspondence in the variable display result notification command. .

Here, the loss variation pattern type determination table (normal time) 132B is selected as the use table, for example, when the gaming state is the normal state. On the other hand, the loss variation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C is selected as a use table corresponding to time reduction control being performed, for example, when the gaming state is a probability change state or time reduction state. .

  In the fluctuation pattern type determination table (normal time) 132B and the loss fluctuation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C, the determination value is different for each fluctuation pattern type so that the ratio determined for each fluctuation pattern type is different. There is a part assigned. As a result, it is possible to make the ratio determined to the same variation pattern type different according to whether the gaming state is the normal state or the definite variation state or the time reduction control in the time reduction state. In the loss variation pattern type determination table (normal time) 132B and the loss variation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C, there are portions where decision values are allocated to different variation pattern types. Thereby, different fluctuation pattern types can be determined depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state or the definite variation state or the time reduction control in the time reduction state.

In the effect control pattern table, for example, a special pattern change effect control pattern, a notice effect control pattern, and various effect control patterns may be stored.

  The special figure fluctuation time effect control pattern corresponds to a plurality of kinds of fluctuation patterns, in the period from the start of the fluctuation of the special symbol in the special figure game to the time when the definite special symbol as the special figure display result is derived and displayed It is composed of data indicating the control content of various rendering operations such as variable display operations of decorative symbols, reach display operations in reach effects, etc., or various effects display operations without variable display of decorative symbols. The notice effect control pattern is composed of data etc. indicating the control content of the effect operation to be the notice effect to be executed corresponding to the notice pattern in which a plurality of patterns are prepared in advance. The various effect control patterns correspond to various effect operations performed in accordance with the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and are composed of data indicating the control content.

  FIG. 12A shows a configuration example of the effect control pattern. Each effect control pattern, such as a special figure fluctuation effect control pattern and various effect control patterns, includes, for example, a effect control process timer determination value, display control data, voice control data, lamp control data, operation detection control data, end code, It comprises control data for controlling various rendering operations, and the contents of the various rendering control, the switching timing of the rendering control, etc. may be set in time series. In addition to the above, the effect control pattern may include, for example, movable member control data or the like for specifying the content of operation control in the movable member provided inside or outside the game area. The effect control process timer determination value is a value to be compared with the value of the effect control process timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, and a determination value corresponding to the execution time of each effect operation is set in advance. Note that, instead of the effect control process timer determination value, for example, a predetermined effect control command is received from the main substrate 11, or that a predetermined process is executed as a process for controlling the effect operation in the effect control CPU 120. Data indicating the switching timing of the effect control may be set according to the predetermined control content or processing content.

  The display control data includes, for example, data indicating the display mode of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, such as data indicating the variation mode of each decorative pattern during variable display of the decorative pattern. That is, the display control data is data for specifying the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5. The voice control data includes, for example, data indicating an audio output mode from the speakers 8L and 8R, such as data indicating an output mode such as a sound effect interlocked with a variable display operation of an ornamental pattern during variable display of an ornamental pattern. There is. That is, the audio control data is data for specifying an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R. The lamp control data includes, for example, data indicating the lighting operation mode of the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED. That is, the lamp control data is data for specifying the lighting operation of the light emitter. The operation detection control data includes, for example, a period in which an operation on an operation unit such as the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is effectively detected, and data indicating control content of a rendering operation in the case where the operation is effectively detected. That is, the operation detection control data is data for specifying a rendering operation according to the operation on the operation unit. Note that these control data do not have to be included in all of the effect control patterns, but are effect control patterns configured to include a part of control data according to the contents of the effect operation by each effect control pattern. There may be.

  FIG. 12B is a diagram for describing various effect operations performed in accordance with the content of the effect control pattern. The effect control CPU 120 determines control content of the effect operation according to various control data included in the effect control pattern. For example, when the effect control process timer value matches any of the effect control process timer determination values, the decorative symbol is displayed in a mode designated by the display control data associated with the effect control process timer determination values, and the character Control is performed to display an effect image such as an image or a background image on the screen of the image display device 5. Further, control is made to output sound from the speakers 8L, 8R in a mode specified by the voice control data, and control is made to blink a light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 or decorative LED in a mode specified by the lamp control data. Control is performed to accept the operation on the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B in the operation valid period specified by the operation detection control data, and to determine the content of the effect. In addition, dummy data may be set to data corresponding to a component for effect that is not to be controlled even though it corresponds to the effect control process timer determination value.

  Although the rendering operation shown in FIG. 12 (B) corresponds to the entire period from the start of the variation of the decorative pattern to the final stop, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the variable display of the decorative pattern is performed. An effect control pattern may be provided to execute an effect operation corresponding to a partial period. Alternatively, an effect control pattern may be provided to execute an effect operation corresponding to a predetermined period other than during variable display of the decorative symbol.

  The effect control CPU 120 sets the effect control pattern based on, for example, the fluctuation pattern or the like indicated by the fluctuation pattern designation command, when starting variable display of the decorative pattern, for example. Further, the CPU 120 for effect control sets a corresponding effect control pattern, for example, when starting execution of a predetermined effect such as a preliminary effect or a large hit internal effect. Here, when setting the effect control pattern, the pattern data constituting the corresponding effect control pattern may be read from the ROM 121 and temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the corresponding effect control pattern may be configured. The storage address of the pattern data in the ROM 121 may be temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, and the reading position of the storage data in the ROM 121 may be designated. Thereafter, every time the effect control process timer value is updated, it is determined whether or not any of the effect control process timer determination values match, and if it matches, the effect operation according to the corresponding various control data Control the As described above, the effect control CPU 120 advances the control of the effect device in accordance with the contents of the process data # 1 to the process data #n included in the effect control pattern. In each of the process data # 1 to process data #n, display control data # 1 to display control data #n associated with the effect control process timer determination value # 1 to effect control process timer determination value #n, voice control Data # 1 to voice control data #n, lamp control data # 1 to lamp control data #n, and operation detection control data # 1 to operation detection control data #n indicate the control contents of the rendering operation in the rendering device, and the rendering control The presentation control execution data # 1 to the presentation control execution data #n for specifying the execution of are configured.

  The instruction according to the effect control pattern set in this manner is output from the effect control CPU 120 to the display control unit 123, the voice control board 13, and the like. In the display control unit 123 that has received an instruction from the effect control CPU 120, for example, a predetermined VDP or the like reads image data indicated by the instruction from an image data memory such as a CGROM and temporarily stores the image data in the VRAM. Further, in the voice control board 13 receiving the command from the effect control CPU 120, for example, the voice synthesis IC reads out the voice data indicated by the command from the voice data ROM and expands it by temporarily storing it in the voice RAM or the like. .

  The RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2 as an area for holding various data used to control the effect operation, for example, an effect control data holding area 190 as shown in FIG. Is provided. The effect control data holding area 190 shown in FIG. 13A includes an effect control flag setting unit 191, an effect control timer setting unit 192, an effect control counter setting unit 193, and an effect control buffer setting unit 194. There is.

  For example, the effect control flag setting unit 191 can update the state according to the effect operation state such as the display state of the effect image on the screen of the image display device 5 or the effect control command transmitted from the main substrate 11. Flag is provided. For example, the effect control flag setting unit 191 stores, for each of a plurality of types of flags, data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the on state or the off state.

  The effect control timer setting unit 192 is provided with a plurality of types of timers used to control the progress of various effect operations such as the display operation of effect images on the screen of the image display device 5, for example. For example, the effect control timer setting unit 192 stores data indicating timer values in each of a plurality of types of timers.

  The effect control counter setting unit 193 is provided with a plurality of types of counters used to control the progress of various effect operations. For example, the effect control counter setting unit 193 stores data indicating the count value of each of a plurality of types of counters.

  The effect control buffer setting unit 194 is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used to control the progress of various effect operations. For example, the effect control buffer setting unit 194 stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

  In this embodiment, data constituting the first start winning command buffer 194A shown in FIG. 13 (B1) and the second start winning command buffer 194B shown in FIG. 13 (B2) is the effect control buffer setting unit. It is stored in a predetermined area 194. The first start winning command buffer 194A is provided with a storage area corresponding to the maximum value of the number of first special image storage blocks. A storage area corresponding to the maximum value of the second special drawing reserve storage number is provided in the second start winning command buffer 194B.

  When there is a start winning to the first start winning opening, a plurality of commands such as a first hold storage number notification command and a winning determination result designation command become one set, and are transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 . When there is a start winning to the second start winning opening, a plurality of commands such as a second hold storage number notification command and a winning judgment result specification command become one set, and are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . A storage area is secured in the first start winning command buffer 194A so that one set of commands transmitted in response to the occurrence of the first start winning can be stored in association with each other. A storage area is secured in the second start winning command buffer 194 B so that one set of commands transmitted in response to the occurrence of the second start winning can be stored in association with each other.

  The effect control CPU 120 stores the command received at the start winning combination in the free space of the first start winning command buffer 194A or the second start winning command buffer 194B according to the reception order. For example, when the first hold storage number notification command based on the first start winning and the winning judgment determination result designation command are received, storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers “1” to “4” of the first start winning command buffer 194A. The first reserved storage number notification command and the winning judgment result specification command are stored at the top of the free space in the order of the first hold storage number notification command. On the other hand, when the second pending storage number notification command based on the second start winning and the winning judgment determination result designation command are received, storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers "1" to "4" of the second start winning command buffer 194B. The second hold storage number notification command and the winning judgment result specification command are stored at the top of the free space in the order of the second hold storage number notification command.

  When the first start winning combination and the second start winning combination occur, command transmission is performed in the order of the pending storage number notification command and the winning determination result specifying command. Therefore, if command reception is normally performed, the pending storage number notification command and the winning time are stored in the storage areas corresponding to the buffer numbers “1” to “4” as shown in FIGS. 13 (B1) and (B2). It will be stored in order of the judgment result specification command. In FIG. 13 (B1), commands are stored in storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers “1” and “2”, and in FIG. 13 (B2), storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers “1” to “3” Command is stored.

  The commands stored in the first start winning command buffer 194A and the second start winning command buffer 194B are deleted from those stored in the first storage area each time variable display of decorative symbols is started. And the subsequent memory contents are shifted. For example, when variable display of a new decorative symbol is started corresponding to the start of a special drawing game using the first special drawing in the storage state shown in FIG. 13 (B1), it is stored in buffer number "1". Commands are deleted, and each command stored in the area corresponding to buffer number "2" is shifted to the area corresponding to buffer number "1", and buffer numbers "3" and "4" Each command stored in the area corresponding to each is shifted to the area corresponding to each of the buffer numbers “2” and “3”.

  With regard to the area corresponding to the buffer number "3" in the second start winning command buffer 194B shown in FIG. 13 (B2), the second special view pending storage number notified by the second pending storage number notification command is " An example is shown in the case where a mismatch occurs due to "1". That is, the buffer number has a larger value than the second special view pending storage number notified by the second pending storage number notification command, and the second special view pending storage number notified from the main board 11 is This is inconsistent with the number of second special-image pending storages specified from the storage contents of the 2 prize winning command buffer 194B. In addition, since the shift of each command is performed when the variable display of the decorative design is started, it is immediately contradictory even if the buffer number becomes a value smaller than the number of to-be-saved special figures notified by the pending memory number notification command. It must not be. However, differences at the time of reception of a command can be contradictory.

  For example, when being controlled to the big hit gaming state, based on the command at the time of the start winning that is stored in the second start winning time command buffer 194B, the special figure game of which the variable display result is "big hit" is reserved and stored A determination is made as to whether the The presentation mode in the jackpot middle stage presentation is determined at a different rate according to the result of the judgment of the inside of the reserve. At this time, when the command at the time of starting winning combination is missed or inconsistent, the presentation mode is determined on the assumption that there is no in-hold jackpot determination.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC incorporated in the gaming control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals, and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after executing the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 14 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening via the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S12). After that, by executing predetermined information output processing, for example, data such as jackpot information, start information, probability fluctuation information and the like supplied to the hole management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output (step S13).

  Following the information output process, the game random number updating process for updating at least a part of the gaming random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR5 used on the main substrate 11 side by software is executed (step S14). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S15). In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the display device 4B, opening / closing operation setting of the special winning opening in the special variable winning prize ball device 7 and the like in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process processing, a normal symbol process processing is executed (step S16). The CPU 103 controls the display operation of the normal symbol display 20 by executing the normal symbol process processing, and enables variable display of the normal symbol and tilting operation setting of the movable wing in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, etc. Do.

  After executing the normal symbol process processing, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process (step S17). As an example, in the command control process, among the output ports included in the I / O 105 corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table designated by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, effect control After control data is set in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the substrate 12, predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal, and the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. By setting the switch to the off state, etc., transmission of effect control commands based on settings in the command transmission table is enabled. After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is ended after setting to the interrupt enabled state.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S15 shown in FIG. 14 as the special symbol process process. In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101). FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S101 of FIG. 15 as the start winning determination process.

  In the start winning determination process shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 103 first performs the first based on the detection signal from the first start opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether the start port switch 22A is on (step S201). At this time, if the first starting opening switch 22A is on (step S201; YES), the number of first special drawing holding memories, which is the number of holding memories for the special drawing game using the first special drawing, is a predetermined upper limit It is determined whether or not (step S202). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the number of first to-be-stored storages by reading the first to-be-stored storage number count value which is the storage value of the first to-be-stored storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, for example. For example, when the first special figure storage number is not the upper limit value in step S202 (step S202; NO), the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is set to "1", for example ( Step S203).

  When the first start port switch 22A is off at step S201 (step S201; NO), or when the number of first special view storage blocks has reached the upper limit at step S202 (step S202; YES), Whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is on is determined based on a detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B ( Step S204). At this time, if the second starting opening switch 22B is on (step S204; YES), the second special view pending storage number, which is the pending storage number of the special view game using the second special view, is a predetermined upper limit value It is determined whether or not (step S205). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the second special image storage number by reading the second storage number count value, which is the storage value of the second storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, for example. When the second special drawing reserve storage number is not the upper limit value in step S205 (step S205; NO), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is set to "2" ( Step S206).

  After one of the processes in steps S203 and S206 is executed, the number of to-be-saved special-image storages according to the starting opening buffer value, which is the storage value of the starting opening buffer, is updated to 1 (step S207). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the first pending storage number count value is incremented by one, while when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, the second pending storage number count value is incremented by one. Thus, the first reserved memory number count value is increased by one when the game ball passes through the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special view game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is increased by 1 when the game ball passes through the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special view game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to At this time, the total pending storage number is also updated so as to add one (step S208). For example, the total pending storage number count value, which is the storage value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, may be updated so as to add one.

  After executing the processing of step S208, the CPU 103 uses the random number value MR1 for determining the special view display result and the big hit type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random counter of the random number circuit 104 and the game control counter setting unit 154. The numerical value data indicating the random number value MR2 and the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern type is extracted (step S209). Numeric data representing each random number value extracted in this manner is stored at the head of the empty entry in the special view holding storage unit according to the starting opening buffer value by being set as holding information (step S210). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, numerical data representing random number values MR1 to MR3 are set in the first special image storage unit 151A, while when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, Numerical data representing random number values MR1 to MR3 is set in second special image storage unit 151B.

  The numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type indicate whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit". Used to determine the type of jackpot in the case of "big hit". The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern type is used to determine the variation pattern type to which the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol belongs. The CPU 103 executes the processing of step S209 to select numerical data representing a part or all of the random display value used to determine the variable display mode including the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative pattern or the variable display time. Extract.

  Subsequent to the process of step S210, transmission setting of the pending storage number notification command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (step S211). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the storage control address of the first hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the transmission command buffer in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer, etc. The setting for transmitting the first pending storage number notification command is performed on T12. On the other hand, when the starting port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, etc. The setting for transmitting the second pending storage number notification command is performed. For example, after the special symbol process process is completed, the command control process of step S17 shown in FIG. 14 is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 after the special symbol process process is finished. It is transmitted.

  Subsequent to the process of step S211, it is determined which one of a plurality of previously set numerical ranges the random number value MR1 for special view display result determination indicated by the numerical data extracted by the process of step S209 is included (step S212). In this embodiment, the range of “8001” to “8437”, the range of “8438” to “11277”, and the range other than these are set in advance as the plurality of numerical value ranges. As an example, in the process of step S212, the minimum value and the maximum value in each numerical value range are set, and which numerical value range is included by comparison with the random value MR1 extracted in the process of step S209. It is sufficient if it can be determined.

  After execution of the processing of step S212, transmission setting of a winning determination result specification command is performed (step S213). FIG. 17 shows a configuration example of the in-winning determination result designation command for which transmission setting is performed in the process of step S213. The prize determination result specifying command shown in FIG. 17 differs depending on the determination result as to which of the plurality of numerical ranges the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination extracted in the process of step S209 is included. EXT data is set. More specifically, the command 9500H is a winning combination determination result first specification command indicating that the random number MR1 is included in the range of "8001" to "8437". The command 9501H is a winning combination determination result second specification command indicating that the random number MR1 is included in the range of “8438” to “11277”. The command 9502H is a winning combination determination result third designation command indicating that the random number MR1 is included in a range other than the above.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, if the random number value MR1 is any one of “8001” to “8437” regardless of whether the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or not. The special view display result is determined to be "big hit". Therefore, in the effect control board 12, it is determined that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit gaming state is controlled regardless of whether or not the gaming state is a definite change state, and the first determination command of winning determination result is determined. Specify to be identifiable on the side. If the random number MR1 is any one of "8438" to "11277", the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit" only when the probability variation control is being performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, it is possible to specify on the side of effect control board 12 that the variable display result is "big hit" and it is decided to control to the big hit gaming state when the gaming state is the definite variation state and the second judgment command upon winning a prize is determined. Specify to be The winning combination determination result third specification command specifies that it is possible to specify on the side of the effect control board 12 that the variable display result is “losing” and it is determined that the big hit gaming state is not to be controlled.

  After the process of step S213 is performed, it is determined whether the start port buffer value is "1" or "2" (step S214). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step S214; "1"), the start port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (step S215), step S204. Go to the process of On the other hand, when the starting port buffer value is "2" (step S214; "2"), the starting port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (step S216), The start winning determination process ends. As a result, even when both the first starting opening switch 22A and the second starting opening switch 22B simultaneously detect a starting winning combination of valid gaming balls, it is possible to surely complete the processing based on the detection of both starting starting winning combinations.

  In the start winning determination process, after the process of step S211 is performed, the process of step S213 is performed. After these processes are executed, by executing the command control process of step S17 shown in FIG. 14, the game ball passes through the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening, and the first start condition and the second start condition are obtained. When the start condition is satisfied, two commands, ie, a pending storage number notification command and a winning judgment result specification command, are collectively transmitted in one timer interrupt as one set. In addition, it is not limited to what is collectively transmitted in 1 timer interruption, and one command may be sequentially transmitted by the command control process of step S17 for every timer interruption.

  After executing the start winning determination process in step S101 of FIG. 15, the CPU 103 selects one of the processes in steps S110 to S117 according to the value of the special view process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152. And run.

  The special symbol normal processing of step S110 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In this special symbol normal processing, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol is based on the presence / absence of the pending data stored in the first special view pending storage unit 151A or the second special view pending storage unit 151B. A determination is made as to whether or not the special figure game is to be started by the display device 4B. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, whether or not to control the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit", based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special image display result The variable display result is determined before it is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, the finalized special symbol in the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is set corresponding to the variable display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game . In the special symbol normal processing, when the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is determined in advance, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “1”.

  The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, multiple variation pattern types are used using numerical data indicating a random value MR3 for determination of a variation pattern type based on the result of prior determination of whether or not to make the variable display result a "big hit". Processing to determine any of the types, processing to determine the variation pattern to any one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random value MR4 for determination of the variation pattern based on the determination result of the variation pattern type, and the like are included. ing. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variable display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2".

  By the special symbol normal processing in step S110 and the variation pattern setting processing in step S111, a variation pattern including the determined special symbol, the special symbol, and the variable symbol display time of the decorative symbol as the variable display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing are the random number value MR1 for determination of the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determination of the big hit type, the random number value MR3 for determination of the variation pattern type, and the random value for variation pattern determination A process of determining a variable display mode of a special symbol or a decorative symbol is included using MR4.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, a process to make settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. For example, every time the special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed, the special figure variation timer value which is the storage value in the special figure variation timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153 is decremented by 1 or incremented by 1 1 By a common timer regardless of whether it is a special drawing game using the first special drawing in the special symbol display device 4A or the special drawing game using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B Measurement of elapsed time is performed. Further, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Thus, the special symbol variation process of step S112 is the variation of the special symbol in the special symbol game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A, and the second special feature in the second special symbol display device 4B. It is sufficient that the processing of controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special drawing game using the figure is performed by the common processing routine. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3".

  The special symbol stopping process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop process, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol as the variable display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed. It includes the process of setting. Then, it is determined whether the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on or not, and if the big hit flag is on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". Be done. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In this big hit opening pre-processing, on the basis of the variable display result becoming “big hit” etc., the processing etc which does the setting for starting execution of the round in big hit game state and opening the big winning opening include. At this time, for example, the upper limit of the period in which the big winning opening is in the open state may be set according to whether the big hit type is “first big hit” or “second big hit”. As an example, corresponding to the big hit classification "first big hit", while setting the upper limit of the period which makes the big winning a prize opening state to "29 seconds", opening the big winning a prize opening which becomes the upper limit number of times to execute the round By setting the number of times to "six times", it may be set to set the short-term open jackpot state. On the other hand, the jackpot type corresponds to the "second jackpot", the upper limit of the period to open the big winning opening is set to "29 seconds", and the number of opening times of the winning opening that is the upper limit number of times to execute the round By setting “16 times”, it may be set that the long-term open jackpot state is set. At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit open processing of step S115 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is “5”. The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. And the like are included to determine whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, the processing of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed, and then the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6". .

  The big hit opening post process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round with the big winning opening opened reached the large winning opening opening frequency maximum value, the winning opening opening frequency maximum value was reached In this case, a process of setting for transmitting an end designation command is included. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the maximum winning opening open number maximum value, while the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5", when the maximum winning opening opening number maximum value is reached, the special drawing The value of the process flag is updated to "7".

  The big hit end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In this big hit end processing, waiting corresponding to a period in which ending effect is executed as a rendering operation to notify the end of the big hit gaming state by a rendering device such as the image display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the game effect lamp 9, etc. The process includes a process of waiting until time elapses, a process of performing various settings for starting the probability change control and the time saving control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state, and the like. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S110 of FIG. 15 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 103 first determines whether the number of second special view reservations is "0" (step S231). The second special figure reservation storage count is the number of reserved storages of the special view game using the second special view by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step S231, the second hold storage count value stored in the game control counter setting unit 154 may be read out, and it may be determined whether the read value is "0".

  When the number of second special view reservations is other than “0” at step S 231 (step S 231; NO), the suspension stored corresponding to the suspension number “1” in second special view suspension storage unit 151 B As data, numerical data representing a random number value MR1 for special image display result determination, a random number value MR2 for large hit type determination, and a random value MR3 for variable pattern type determination are read out (step S232). The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation, and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of step S232, for example, by updating the second reserved memory number count value by decrementing the second reserved memory number count value by one, and updating it so that the second special image reserved memory number is decremented by one, The holding data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the holding number "1" in the part 151B is shifted upward by one entry (step S233). In addition, in the process of step S233, the gaming control counter setting unit 154 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total suspension storage count count value stored in the total suspension storage count counter. At this time, the variation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the variation special figure designation buffer is updated to "2" (step S234).

  When the number of second Tokushu storages is "0" at step S231 (step S231; YES), it is determined whether or not the number of first special maps storage is "0" (step S235). The first special view reservation storage number is the number of suspension storages of the special view game using the first special view by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step S235, the game control counter setting unit 154 reads the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage count counter and determines whether the read value is "0". Just do it. As described above, the process of step S235 is executed when it is determined in step S231 that the number of second special view reservations is “0”, and the number of first special views suspension storage is “0”. It is determined whether or not. As a result, the special view game using the second special view starts being executed with priority over the special view game using the first special view.

  When it is determined in step S235 that the number of first special view reservations is other than “0” (step S235; NO), the suspension stored corresponding to the suspension number “1” in first special view suspension storage unit 151A. As data, random number value MR1 for special figure display result decision, random number value MR2 for big hit classification decision and the numerical data which shows random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern category decision, it reads out respectively (step S236). The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation, and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of step S 236, the first TOC pending memory number is updated to be decremented by 1, for example, by subtracting the first pending memory number count value and updating, etc. The pending data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the pending number "1" in the part 151A is shifted upward by one entry (step S237). Further, in the process of step S 237, the game control counter setting unit 154 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total suspension storage count count value stored in the total suspension storage count counter. At this time, the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is updated to "1" (step S238).

  After performing any of the processes in steps S234 and S238, it is possible to use the special figure display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, as a use table for determining whether the "big hit" or "losing" is made. The figure display result determination table 130 is selected and set (step S239). Subsequently, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special image display result stored in the random number buffer for variation is compared with the determined value assigned to each special image display result of "big hit" or "lost". Then, it is determined whether the special map display result is to be "big hit" or "loss" (step S240). At this time, for example, by confirming the state of the probability change flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 or the like, it may be specified whether or not the probability change control in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed. The probability change flag is set to the on state when controlled to a probability change state in which probability change control is performed. On the other hand, when the probability change control ends, the probability change flag is cleared and the power is turned off.

  After the special view display result is determined in step S240, it is determined whether the special view display result is a "big hit" (step S241). Then, if it is determined that the "big hit" (step S241; YES), the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is set to the on state (step S242). At this time, the jackpot type determination table 131 is selected and set as a use table for determining the jackpot type as any of a plurality of types (step S243). By referring to the jackpot classification determination table 131 set in this way, numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot classification determination stored in the random number buffer for variation is each jackpot of “first jackpot” or “second jackpot” Depending on which of the determination values assigned to the type, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types (step S244).

  Corresponding to the jackpot type determined in the process of step S244, for example, by setting the value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 (step S245), store the determined jackpot type Let As an example, if the big hit type is “first big hit”, the big hit type buffer value may be “1”, and if “big hit”, it may be “2”.

  If it is determined in step S241 that the game is not a "big hit" (step S241; NO) or after the process of step S245 is executed, the result of the predetermination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state, In response to the determination result of the jackpot type in the game state, the determined special symbol is set (step S246). As an example, when it is determined that the special figure display result is not a "big hit" in step S241, the special figure display result is "loss" in response to the pre-decision result indicating that the "loss" is made. A special symbol indicating a symbol of "-" is set as the confirmed special symbol. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S241 that the special view display result is "big hit", the "3" or "7" that is the big hit symbol according to the big hit type determination result in step S244. Set one of the special symbols that show numbers to the finalized special symbol. That is, according to the determination result that the jackpot type is "first jackpot", a special symbol indicating a number of "3" which is a 6R jackpot symbol is set as the determined special symbol. Also, according to the determination result that the jackpot type is "the second jackpot", a special symbol indicating the number of "7" that is the 16R jackpot symbol is set as the determined special symbol.

  After setting the finalized special symbol in step S246, the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step S247), and the special symbol normal processing is ended. . If, in step S235, the number of reserved memories of the special drawing game using the first special drawing is "0" (step S235; YES), after performing predetermined demonstration display setting (step S248), the special symbol End normal processing. In this demonstration display setting, for example, whether or not an effect control command for specifying a demonstration display by displaying a predetermined effect image or the like on the image display device 5 has been transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 or not. Determine At this time, if it has already been sent, the demo display setting is ended as it is. On the other hand, if not sent, the setting for sending the customer waiting demo specification command is made, and then the demonstration display setting is ended.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 15 as the variation pattern setting process. In the fluctuation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 19, the CPU 103 first determines whether the big hit flag is on (step S261). Then, if the big hit flag is on (step S261; YES), the big hit fluctuation pattern type determination table 132A is selected and set as a use table for determining the fluctuation pattern type to any of a plurality of types (step S262) ). Further, for example, by reading the jackpot type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155, it is specified whether the jackpot type is "first jackpot" or "second jackpot" (step S263). .

  When the big hit flag is off in step S261 (step S261; NO), for example, it is determined whether or not the short time flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on, etc. When the time saving control is performed in the time saving state, it is determined whether or not the time reducing control is being performed (step S 264). Then, when the time saving control is not being performed (step S 264; NO), the lost change pattern type determination table (normal time) 132 B is selected and set as a use table for determining the change pattern type to any one of a plurality of types. (Step S265). If time reduction control is in progress in step S 264 (step S 264; YES), a loss change pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132 C is selected and set in the use table for determining the change pattern type (step S S266). When one of the processes in steps S265 and S266 is executed, the total pending storage number may be specified, for example, by reading the storage value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154.

  After one of the processes in steps S263, S265, and S266 is executed, it is set in the use table based on, for example, numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for determination of the variation pattern type stored in the variation random number buffer etc. The variation pattern type is determined to be any one of a plurality of types by referring to the variation pattern type determination table (step S 267).

  When the jackpot flag is on, the table data corresponding to the jackpot type determined by the process of step S263 is selected from the table data constituting the big hit fluctuation pattern type determination table 132A, and the fluctuation pattern type determination random It is only necessary to be able to determine the fluctuation pattern type to which the determination value corresponding to the numerical data indicating the numerical value MR3 is assigned. In this way, in the process of step S267, any variation pattern type may be determined from among a plurality of variation pattern types prepared in advance corresponding to the determination result of making the special view display result "big hit".

  When the jackpot flag is off, by determining the variation pattern type in the process of step S267, it is determined whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach". That is, the process of step S267 includes a process of determining whether or not the variable display state of the decorative symbol is to be in the reach state when the variable display result is "losing".

  After the variation pattern type is determined in step S267, the variation pattern determination table 133 is selected, and the variation pattern is set as a use table for determining any of a plurality of types (step S268). Subsequently, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be any one of a plurality of types by referring to the fluctuation pattern determination table 133 set in step S268 based on numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for fluctuation pattern determination (step S269). .

  The numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for determining the variation pattern may be extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the random counter of the game control counter setting unit 154 when the process of step S269 is executed, or the first start winning combination The game balls that have passed through the mouth and the second start winning opening are extracted at the time of the start winning being detected, together with random number values MR1 to MR3, in the first special view holding storage unit 151A and the second special view holding storage unit 151B. It may be stored as hold information.

  After the variation pattern is determined in step S269, a special figure variation time which is a variable display time of a special symbol according to the determination result of the variation pattern is set (step S270). The special figure fluctuation time which is the variable display time of the special symbol is the required time from when the fluctuation of the special symbol in the special figure game is started to when the finalized special symbol as the variable display result is derived and displayed.

  After executing the process of step S270, according to the variation special view designation buffer value, the special view game using the first special view in the first special symbol display device 4A, and the second special in the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to start any one of the special drawing games using the figures, setting for starting the variation of the special symbol is performed (step S271). As an example, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

  Subsequent to the process of step S271, setting for transmitting various commands used for the start of variation of the special symbol is performed (step S272). For example, when the fluctuation special view designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to issue a game state designation command, a first fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a variable display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 In order to sequentially transmit the notification command and the first hold storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the first variation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 The transmission command buffer stores the data in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to issue a game state designation command, a second fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a variable display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 In order to sequentially transmit the notification command and the second pending storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second variation start command table prepared in advance is designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. In the buffer area. Thereafter, the value of the special view process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step S273), and the variation pattern setting process is ended.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot end process executed in step S117 of FIG. In the big hit end process shown in FIG. 20, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the big hit end effect waiting time has elapsed (step S321). As an example, in the big hit opening post process of step S116 shown in FIG. 15, when updating the value of the special process process flag to "7", the timer initial value previously determined corresponding to the big hit end presentation waiting time is The game control process timer is set. In this case, in the process of step S321, the game control process timer value is updated by, for example, subtracting one, and the updated game control process timer value matches the predetermined waiting time elapsed determination value or not. It may be determined whether or not the big hit end production waiting time has elapsed. If the jackpot end effect waiting time has not elapsed in step S321 (step S321; NO), the jackpot end processing is ended as it is.

  On the other hand, when the big hit end presentation waiting time has elapsed in step S321 (step S321; YES), setting for starting the probability change control is performed (step S322). For example, the CPU 103 sets the probability change flag to the on state. Then, an initial count value predetermined corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game that can be executed during the probability variation control is set in the probability variation number counter provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 such as the game control counter setting unit 154.

  Following the processing of step S322, setting for starting the time saving control is performed (step S323). For example, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag to the on state. Then, an initial count value predetermined in accordance with the upper limit value of the special view game executable during the time-saving control is set in the time-reduction counter provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 such as the game control counter setting unit 154. After that, the value of the special process process flag is updated to "0" (step S324), and the execution of the big hit end process is ended.

  When execution for the special figure game is started based on the establishment of the first start condition or the second start condition after the setting for starting the probability change control is performed by the big hit end processing, step S240 shown in FIG. In the processing, it is determined whether or not the special view display result is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a "big hit" at a rate according to the probability change control. Then, due to the assignment of the determination values in the special figure display result determination table 130 as shown in FIG. 7, it is higher in the case of the definite change state in which the definite change control is performed than in the normal state or the time saving state in which the definite change control is not performed. At a rate, the special map display result is determined to be "big hit". As described above, when in the definite change state, it is easier to determine to control to the big hit gaming state than in the normal state or the time saving state.

  When the execution of the special figure game is started based on the establishment of the first start condition or the second start condition after the setting for starting the time saving control is performed by the big hit end process, the process of step S264 shown in FIG. Since it is determined that the time reduction control is being performed, the loss variation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C is selected by the process of step S266. When the time reduction state is performed by the assignment of the determination value in the lost fluctuation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C as shown in FIG. 9C, the normal state in which the time reduction control is not performed. The variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol becomes easier to be determined as the fluctuation pattern shorter than the case of the above.

  In addition, after the setting for starting the time saving control is performed by the big hit end processing, in the normal symbol process processing of step S16 shown in FIG. 14, processing for performing high opening control is executed. For example, when it is determined to start a regular drawing game by the normal symbol display 20, a predetermined common drawing display result determination table is referred to based on numerical data etc. indicating the random number MR5 for common drawing display result determination. Determine the common map display result. Here, in the common drawing display result determination table, when high opening control is performed in response to the time saving flag being turned on, the common drawing display result is “per common drawing” than in the case where high opening control is not performed. The decision value is assigned to the common map display result so that the rate at which the decision is made is high. Thus, in the advantageous state in which the high release control is performed in the short time state, the variable display result of the normal symbol in the flat game is more likely to be "per flat" than in the normal state. The frequency at which the second starting winning opening to be formed is in the enlarged open state increases, and the gaming ball can easily pass through the second starting winning opening.

  In the common drawing process processing, the common drawing fluctuation time corresponding to the common drawing display result is also determined. At this time, when high opening control is performed in response to the time saving flag being turned on, the variable display time of the normal symbol is set to be shorter than when high opening control is not performed. Thereby, in the advantageous state in which high open control is performed in the short time state, the interval at which the variable display result of the normal symbol in the regular drawing game is derived and displayed becomes short, and the variable display result of "per common figure" is derived and displayed Also, the interval at which the second variable winning ball device 6B normally forms is in an enlarged open state, and the gaming ball is more likely to pass through the second starting hole.

  In the common drawing process processing, when the common drawing display result is "per common drawing", the tilt control time which is the time for setting the second start winning opening in the enlarged open state and the number of tilt control times which is the number of times in the enlarged open state. Set At this time, when the high release control is performed in response to the time saving flag being turned on, the tilt control time and the number of tilt controls are set to increase more than when the high release control is not performed. Thus, in the advantageous state in which the high opening control is performed in the short time state, the game ball can easily pass through the second start winning opening by increasing the time and the number of times the second start winning opening becomes the enlarged open state.

  In the special symbol stop process in step S113 shown in FIG. 15, settings for ending the probability change control or the time saving control are performed in response to the special view display result being "big hit". For example, processing to clear the probability variation flag and time reduction flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 151 and the like to be turned off, and clear the probability variation number counter and time reduction number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 and the like A process etc. should just be performed.

  In the special symbol stop process, whether to terminate the time saving control or the high release control in the time saving state, and to stop the probability variation control in the probability variation state, corresponding to the case where the special figure display result is "loss" It is judged whether or not it is not. For example, when the hourly count value, which is the stored value of the hourly number counter, is other than "0", the count value is updated so as to be decremented by one, and the count value after subtraction becomes "0". Determine if Then, when the time saving count value becomes "0", it is determined that the time saving control is to be ended, and the time saving flag is cleared. Also, when the count value of the definite variation count which is the stored value of the definite variation count counter is other than “0”, the count value is updated so as to be decremented by 1 and the count value after subtraction becomes “0” Determine if Then, when the probability variation count value becomes “0”, it is determined that the probability variation control is to be ended, and the probability variation flag is cleared. In addition, the timing which updates time count value count value or probability variation count value is not limited to the timing when the special symbol end processing is executed corresponding to the end of the special figure game, for example, step S231 or step S235 shown in FIG. It may be timing when execution of a special figure game is started based on having been judged that special figure reservation memory count is other than "0" in.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described.

  In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 21 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12 Performs register settings etc. of mounted CTC. Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S72). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state each time a predetermined time elapses based on, for example, the register setting of CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S72; NO), the process of step S72 is repeatedly performed and the process waits.

  Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt generated every time the predetermined time passes. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. If an interrupt occurs because the effect control INT signal is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable state, but interrupts using the CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state. It is desirable to issue prohibited orders. The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt processing, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, a control signal serving as an effect control command from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 Capture The effect control command fetched at this time is stored, for example, in a effect control command reception buffer provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194. As an example, when the effect control command has a 2-byte configuration, the first byte and the second byte are sequentially received and stored in the effect control command reception buffer. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on at step S72 (step S72; YES), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be off (step S73), and command analysis processing is executed (step S74). In the command analysis process executed in step S74, for example, various presentation control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 and stored in the presentation control command reception buffer are read and then read. Settings, control, and the like corresponding to the output control command issued are performed.

  After the command analysis process is performed in step S74, an effect control process process is performed (step S75). In the effect control process of step S75, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, the effect With regard to the control content of the rendering operation using various rendering devices, such as the driving operation in the phantom, the determination, determination, setting, and the like according to the rendering control command and the like transmitted from the main substrate 11 are performed.

  Following the effect control process of step S75, effect random number updating process is executed (step S76), and the effect random number is counted by the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193 as various random number values used for effect control. The numerical data representing the is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S72.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S74 of FIG. 21 as the command analysis process. In the command analysis process shown in FIG. 22, the effect control CPU 120 first confirms the stored contents of the effect control command reception buffer, etc., whereby the received command from the main board 11 transmitted via the relay board 15 is It is determined whether there is any (step S501). At this time, if there is no reception command (step S501; NO), the command analysis process is ended.

  If there is a received command at step S501 (step S501; YES), for example, by checking the MODE data of the received command, it is determined whether or not the received command is the first pending storage count notification command ( Step S502). At this time, if it is determined that the received command is not the first pending storage number notification command (step S502; NO), it is determined whether the received command is the second pending storage number notification command (step S503). If it is determined that the command is not the second pending storage number notification command (step S503; NO), it is determined whether or not it is a winning determination result specification command (step S504).

  When it is determined in step S502 that the command is the first pending storage number notification command (step S502; YES), or when it is determined in step S503 that the command is the second pending storage number notification command (step S503; YES) Or, if it is determined in step S504 that it is a winning judgment result specification command (step S504; YES), start winning commands such as the first start winning command buffer 194A and the second starting winning command buffer 194B. After the reception command is stored at the top of the free space in any of the buffers (step S505), the process returns to the process of step S501.

  As an example, when the winning judgment result specifying command is received together with the first pending storage number notification command, the first pending storage is stored in the storage area having the smallest buffer number among the free areas in the first start winning command buffer 194A. The number notification command and the winning judgment result specification command are stored in order. On the other hand, when the winning judgment result specifying command is received together with the second pending storage number notification command, the second pending storage number is stored in the storage area having the smallest buffer number among the free areas in the second start winning command buffer 194B. The notification command and the winning judgment result specification command are stored in order.

  When the pending storage number notification command is received together with the change start command, the pending storage number notification command may not be stored in the start winning command command buffer. That is, it is only necessary to be able to sequentially store the effect control command received in response to the occurrence of the start winning, from the top of the free space in the start winning received command command buffer.

  The effect control command received from the main substrate 11 when a start winning occurs, such as a pending storage number notification command or a winning determination result specification command, is also referred to as a start winning command. In addition, the 1st pending storage number notification command and the 2nd pending storage number notification command, which are effect control commands to designate the first special view pending storage number and the second special view pending storage number to be recognizable, are pending It is also called notification information. As the suspension notification information, a starting opening winning combination designation command may be provided which can specify which one of the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening the gaming ball has passed. When a start winning is generated, the in-winning determination result designation command, which is an effect control command for designating a determination result based on an extraction value of numerical data indicating a random number MR1, is also referred to as determination result information. When the reception command is sequentially stored from the top of the free space in the start winning reception command buffer, the reception command is stored without distinction as to whether it is a pending storage number notification command or a winning judgment result specification command. Alternatively, each receive command may be distinguished and stored at the top of the free space in the corresponding storage area. When the reception commands are received separately, the storage area of the dropped reception commands is blank, and only a part of the effect control commands to be received as one set is excessively stored.

  As a specific example, when any one of the first pending storage number notification command and the second pending storage number notification command is received, the elapsed time after reception is measured to receive waiting time for the winning determination result designated command. It is determined whether or not has passed. Then, if the winning judgment result specifying command can be received before the reception waiting time elapses, it can be received within the normal reception period as a command corresponding to the pending storage number notification command, and the starting winning prize has already been received. In association with the pending storage number notification command stored in the command buffer, the received winning time determination result specification command is stored. On the other hand, if the winning determination result specifying command is received after the reception waiting time has elapsed, or if the winning determination result specifying command is received even though the elapsed time has not been measured, the normal reception period It is sufficient to store the received winning-time determination result specifying command in association with a new buffer number in the start-up winning time command buffer, because the reception storage number notification command is not received within the internal storage. .

  If it is determined in step S504 that the received command is not a winning judgment determination result designation command (step S504; NO), it is determined whether the received command is a gaming state designation command (step S506). And, when the reception command is the game state specification command (step S506; YES), for example, by storing the EXT data of the game state specification command in the game state specification buffer provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194 etc. The buffer storage is updated (step S507). After the process of step S507 is performed, the process returns to the process of step S501.

  If it is determined in step S506 that the received command is not a gaming state designating command (step S506; NO), it is determined whether the received command is a hit start designating command (step S508). Then, when the received command is the hit start designation command (step S508; YES), the hour / minute variation counter is cleared, the count value is initialized to "0" (step S509), and the positive variation variation counter is cleared. Then, the count value is initialized to "0" (step S510). After the process of step S510 is performed, the process returns to the process of step S501.

  If it is determined in step S508 that the received command is not a hit start designating command (step S508; NO), setting according to other received commands is performed (step S511), and the process returns to step S501.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S75 of FIG. 21 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 23, the effect control CPU 120 performs one of the processes in steps S170 to S175 as follows according to, for example, the value of the effect process flag provided in the effect control flag setting unit 191 or the like. Select and execute.

  The variable display start waiting process of step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0". Whether or not this variable display start waiting process starts variable display of the decorative symbol in the image display device 5 based on whether or not the first change start command or the second change start command from the main substrate 11 is received or not. And the like.

  The variable display start setting process of step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". This variable display start setting process is a decorative symbol on image display device 5 in response to the start of variable display of the special symbol in the special drawing game by first special symbol display device 4A or second special symbol display device 4B. In order to perform variable display of and various other rendering operations, processing for determining a finalized decorative symbol and various rendering control patterns according to the variation pattern of the special symbol, the type of display result, etc. is included.

  The variable display effect process of step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120 reads various control data from the effect control pattern corresponding to the timer value in the effect control process timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 192, and displays the decorative symbol It performs various effects control during variable display. After such effect control is performed, for example, the end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read out from the special pattern change effect control pattern, or that the symbol determination command transmitted from the main substrate 11 is received, etc. In response to the, the finalized stop display of the finalized design as the final stop design which is the result of the variable display of the decorative design is displayed completely. When the determined decoration pattern is completely stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3".

  The process for waiting for a special figure in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3." In the special-image-per-wait process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hit start designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received. Then, when the hit start designation command is received, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit during the rendering processing. On the other hand, when the effect control process timer times out without receiving the hit start designation command, it is determined that the special figure display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the value of the effect process flag is initialized. Update to the value "0".

  The jackpot inside effect process of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4". In this big hit, during the effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern corresponding to the contents of the effect in the big hit gaming state, and displays an effect image based on the setting contents on the display screen of the image display device 5 Or outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command to the voice control board 13, turning on / off / flashing the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by outputting a command to the lamp control board 14 And, various effects control in the big hit gaming state is executed. Further, in the big hit internal effect processing, for example, in response to receiving the hit end designation command from the main substrate 11, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to “5” which is a value corresponding to the ending effect processing.

  The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". In this ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state, and displays an effect image based on the setting content on the display screen of the image display device 5 or Output voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands to the voice control board 13, and turn on / off / flicker the game effect lamp 9 and decoration LED by outputting commands to the lamp control board 14 , Perform various effects control at the end of the big hit gaming state. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is an initial value.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S171 of FIG. 23 as the variable display start setting process. In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 24, the effect control CPU 120 first reads, for example, the EXT data in the variable display result notification command transmitted from the main substrate 11, and the special view display result is "lost". It is determined whether or not (step S631). At this time, if it is determined that the special view display result is “losing” (step S 631; YES), designation is performed, for example, by reading EXT data in the variation pattern designation command transmitted from main substrate 11. It is determined whether or not the variation pattern obtained is the non-reach variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" (step S632).

  If it is determined in step S632 that the pattern is the non-reach variation pattern (step S632; YES), a combination of determined decorative symbols to be the final stop design constituting the non-reach combination is determined (step S633). As an example, in the process of step S633, first, numerical data indicating a random value for left fixed symbol determination updated by the random counter or the like of the effect control counter setting unit 193 is extracted, and predetermined data stored in advance in the ROM 121 or the like By referring to the left finalized symbol determination table or the like, the left finalized decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed on the "left" decorative symbol display area 5L of the finalized decorative symbols on the screen of the image display device 5 is determined. Next, numerical data indicating the right determined symbol determination random number value updated by the random counter or the like of the effect control counter setting unit 193 is extracted, and a predetermined right determined symbol determination table stored in advance in the ROM 121 or the like is referenced. Thus, among the determined decorative symbols, the right determined decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed in the “right” decorative symbol display area 5R on the screen of the image display device 5 is determined. At this time, the symbol number of the right determined decorative symbol may be determined so as to be different from the symbol number of the left determined decorative symbol by setting or the like in the right determined decorative symbol determination table. Subsequently, numerical value data indicating a random value for determining the middle fixed symbol which is updated by the random counter or the like of the effect control counter setting unit 193 is extracted, and a predetermined middle fixed symbol determination table stored in the ROM 121 etc. is referred to By doing this or the like, the determined decoration symbol to be displayed in the stop display on the "in" decoration symbol display area 5C on the screen of the image display 5 among the determined decoration symbols is determined.

  If it is determined in step S632 that the pattern is not the non-reach variation pattern (step S632; NO), the combination of the finalized design symbols to be the final stop symbols constituting the reach combination is determined (step S634). As an example, in the process of step S634, first, numerical data representing a random value for determining left and right fixed symbols to be updated by the random counter or the like of effect control counter setting unit 193 is extracted, and predetermined data stored in advance in ROM 121 or the like By referring to the left and right fixed symbol determination table, etc., the symbol numbers of the fixed ornament symbols displayed on the left and right decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R on the screen of the image display device 5 are stopped and displayed Determine the same decorative pattern. Furthermore, numerical data indicating a random value for determining the middle fixed symbol determined to be updated by the random counter or the like of the effect control counter setting unit 193 is extracted, and a predetermined middle fixed symbol determination table stored in advance in the ROM 121 or the like is referred. In the finalized decorative symbol, the intermediate determined decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C on the screen of the image display device 5 is determined. Here, for example, when the determined decoration pattern becomes a big hit combination, as in the case where the symbol number of the middle determined decoration symbol becomes the same as the symbol number of the left determined decoration symbol and the right determined decoration symbol, an arbitrary value By adding or subtracting to the symbol number of the inside fixed decoration pattern, etc., the fixed decoration pattern may be a reach combination without being a big hit combination. Alternatively, when the middle fixed decoration pattern is determined, the difference between the left fixed decoration pattern and the symbol number of the right fixed decoration pattern may be determined, and the middle fixed decoration pattern may be set corresponding to the pattern difference.

  When it is determined in step S631 that the special view display result is not a "losing" but a "big hit" (step S631; NO), a combination of finalized decorative symbols to be a final stop design constituting a big hit combination is determined ( Step S635). As an example, in the process of step S635, first, numerical data indicating a random value for determining a big hit determined to be updated by the random counter or the like of the effect control counter setting unit 193 is extracted and subsequently stored in advance in the ROM 121 or the like. By referring to a predetermined big hit finalized symbol determination table, etc., "left", "middle" and "right" are displayed in a stop on the screen of the image display device 5 in a row in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Decide on a decorative pattern with the same symbol number. At this time, when the jackpot type is "first jackpot", a decorative symbol indicating a number other than "7" is determined as a finalized decorative symbol among a plurality of decorative symbols. Also, when the jackpot type is "second jackpot", among the decorative patterns of a plurality of types, the decorative symbol indicating the number "7" is determined as the finalized decorative symbol.

  After one of the processes in steps S633, S634, and S635 is performed, the probability variation in-progress setting process is performed (step S636). Subsequently, execution setting of the effect during the other variable display is performed (step S637). Thereafter, the effect control pattern is determined to be any of a plurality of patterns prepared in advance (step S638). At this time, the effect control CPU 120 selects one of a plurality of prepared special pattern fluctuation control patterns and sets it as a usage pattern, corresponding to, for example, the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. In addition, for example, when the setting for executing the number of times of consecutive notices, battle effects, and boss advance effects are made in the definite variation effect setting process of step S636, special effect variation time effect control corresponding to the setting is performed. A pattern is selected.

  After execution of the process of step S638, an initial value of the effect control process timer provided in effect control timer setting unit 192 is set corresponding to the change pattern specified by the change pattern specification command, for example (step S639) . Then, setting is made to start the variation of the decorative symbol or the like in the image display device 5 (step S640). At this time, for example, the display control command specified by the display control data included in the special pattern fluctuation effect control pattern determined as the usage pattern in step S638 is transmitted to the VDP of the display control unit 123 or the like. It is only necessary to start the variation of the decorative symbol in the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the screen of the image display device 5. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the variable display effect process (step S641), and the variable display start setting process is ended.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the probability variation-prone effect setting process executed in step S636 of FIG. The process of determining the effect mode and execution timing of the continuous change number informing effect and the battle effect, and whether or not to execute the boss notice effect, the effect mode and the execution timing are determined It is processing to do. In this probability variation effect setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the probability variation control is in progress by reading out the game state designation buffer value from, for example, the effect control buffer setting unit 194 (step S131). . At this time, if the probability change control is not in progress (step S131; NO), the probability change in-progress effect setting process is ended.

  If the probability variation control is being performed (step S131; YES), the variation count value during probability variation is read (step S132), the continuous chan count value is read (step S133), and the second jackpot count value is read (step S134).

  Here, the probability variation variation count value is a stored value of the probability variation variation counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193, and indicates the probability variation remaining number which is the remaining number of variable display executed during the probability variation control. In this embodiment, the probability variation variation count value is set to “100” as the maximum value of the variable indication executed during the probability variation control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state, and the variable indication result is derived and displayed Each time it is played, it is decremented by one, cleared in response to the start of the big hit gaming state, and initialized to "0".

  Further, the continuous change count value is a stored value of the continuous change counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193, and the end condition for ending the counting of the number of establishment of the advantageous condition controlled to the positive change condition as the advantageous condition is When the condition is not satisfied, it indicates the number of times the advantageous condition is counted. Here, in this embodiment, the jackpot type is controlled to a definite change state after the end of the jackpot gaming state in any case of the "first jackpot" and the "second jackpot". Therefore, in this embodiment, being controlled to the big hit gaming state is an advantageous condition to be controlled to the probability changing state as the advantageous state. Moreover, in this embodiment, the variable display result does not become "big hit" during the time reduction control, and the continuation condition as the completion condition is satisfied by the time reduction state ending and being controlled to the normal state. It shall be. That is, the continuous change count value indicates the continuous change frequency controlled to the big hit gaming state repeatedly without being controlled to the normal state. In this embodiment, the continuous chan count value is incremented by one in response to the end of the big hit gaming state, and the variable display result does not become "big hit" during the time saving control, and the time saving state ends and the normal state It is cleared and initialized to "0" in response to being controlled.

  Further, the second big hit count value is a stored value of the second big hit counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193, and the specific advantageous condition that is counted when the above-described consecutive chan end condition is not satisfied. Indicates the number of times the In this embodiment, it is assumed that a specific advantageous condition is established because the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of “second big hit”. That is, the second big hit count value is the number of times the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of the "second big hit" among the number of consecutive chants controlled to the big hit gaming state without being controlled to the normal state Show. In this embodiment, the second jackpot count value is incremented by one in response to the end of the jackpot gaming state with the jackpot type "second jackpot", and the variable display result does not become a "big hit" during time saving control. Cleared and initialized to "0" in response to the time saving state ending and being controlled to the normal state.

  After executing the process of step S134, the effect control CPU 120 determines an effect pattern of the continuous chan alert effect (step S135). Here, the continuous channel notification effect is an effect of reporting the number of continuous channels during the probability change control. In the consecutive chan notification effect, as the number of consecutive chants, the number of the first big hit controlled to the big hit gaming state of the big hit type "first big hit", and the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "second big hit" The player is notified that the number of the two big hits is recognizable. For example, in the process of step S135, a value obtained by subtracting the second big hit count value read out in step S134 from the continuous change count value read out in step S133 is notified as the first big hit count as a continuous chan notification effect pattern. The effect pattern may be determined in which the second jackpot count value read out in step S134 is notified as the second jackpot number.

  After executing the process of step S135, the effect control CPU 120 determines a battle effect pattern (step S136). In this embodiment, as described above, a battle effect which is an effect during definite variation is performed in a predetermined period such as a period in which a predetermined number of special drawing games in a definite variation state are executed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the enemy character playing a battle against the player character in the battle production is "Miscellaneous fish (half fish)", "Small boss (boy)", and "Medium middle" Corresponding to the cases of boss (old man) and “big boss (monster)” and “last boss (black)”, the player character is “less competitive” than the enemy character. A plurality of battle effect patterns A1 to A3, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, D1 to D4, E1 corresponding to the case of being "predominant", the case of being "winning" and the case of being "defeating" ~ E4 are prepared in advance.

  Note that, for example, the battle effect pattern corresponding to the case where the enemy character is “Missho (half fisher)” is referred to as a snail battle effect pattern, and the case corresponding to the case where the enemy character is “small boss (boy)” The battle effect pattern is referred to as a small boss battle effect pattern. The same applies to other battle rendition patterns.

  Also, for example, a battle effect pattern corresponding to the case where the player character is "less advanced" is referred to as a battle effect lesser pattern, and a battle effect pattern corresponding to the case where the own character is "dominant" is a battle effect superior pattern It is called. The same applies to other battle rendition patterns.

  Also, for example, a battle effect pattern corresponding to a case where the enemy character is "Miscious fish (half fish)" and the self character is "less advanced" is referred to as a miscellaneous fish battle production inferiority pattern, and the enemy character is "Mis The battle rendition pattern corresponding to the case where the player character is “dominant” is referred to as a miscellaneous fish battle rendition superiority pattern. The same applies to other battle rendition patterns.

  Here, in the battle production of the battle production inferiority pattern, although the character of the self character is disadvantageous, the production of an aspect in which the outcome is not decided is executed. In addition, in the battle production of the battle production superior pattern, although the character of the player character is advantageous, the production of an aspect in which the outcome is not decided is executed.

  In addition, in the battle production of the battle production victory pattern, production of the aspect where the self character finally wins is executed, but production of the aspect where the character of the self character is advantageous as the aspect of the battle until victory. May be executed, or an effect of an aspect in which the appearance of the own character is disadvantageous may be executed. By enabling execution of the battle production victory pattern of such an aspect, variable display results are derived and displayed even if the battle production of any of the battle production patterns of the battle production inferiority pattern or the battle production superiority pattern is executed. The player's expectation for the player character to finally win can be continued until the In that case, in the battle production of the battle production victory pattern, the ratio in which the performance of the aspect in which the style of the own character is advantageous is executed as the mode of the battle until victory is the aspect in which the style of the own character is disadvantageous It may be set to be higher than the rate at which the rendering is performed. By making the battle effect victory pattern of such an aspect executable, it is possible to improve the player's sense of expectation that the player character will ultimately win when the effect during battle of the battle effect superiority pattern is executed. It can be done.

  In addition, in the battle production of the battle production defeat pattern, production of the aspect where the self character finally defeats is executed, but production of the aspect where the character of the self character is advantageous as the aspect of the battle until the defeat. May be executed, or an effect of an aspect in which the appearance of the own character is disadvantageous may be executed. By enabling execution of the battle production defeat pattern of such an aspect, variable display results are derived and displayed even if the battle production of any of the battle production patterns of the battle production inferiority pattern or the battle production superiority pattern is executed. It can be made to notice whether or not the self character finally wins. In that case, in the battle production of the battle production defeat pattern, the proportion in which the performance of the aspect in which the character of the own character is disadvantageous is executed is an aspect in which the character of the own character is advantageous as the battle mode until defeat. It may be set to be higher than the rate at which the rendering is performed. By making the battle effect victory pattern of such an aspect executable, the player's expectation for the player character to ultimately win is excessive when the effect during the battle effect of the battle effect inferiority pattern is executed. It is possible to suppress

  For example, in the process of step S136, a battle effect pattern is determined if the consecutive-channel count value read in step S133 is "5" or less, that is, if the consecutive-channel count is 5 or less consecutive chan The battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A is set as a table for the purpose.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. The battle effect determination pattern may be determined by referring to the battle effect determination first table 201 based on the random number values thus extracted.

  In the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A, the battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the probability variation variation count value, that is, according to the probability variation remaining number. There is. Specifically, in the case where the probability variation variation count value is “33” to “11”, it is determined to be one of the miscellaneous fish battle effect patterns A1 to A3. Further, when the probability variation variation count value is “10” to “1”, it is determined to be one of the small boss battle effect patterns B1 to B4.

  In this way, if the number of consecutive changes is 5 or less, if the probability of remaining number of times is 11 or more, such a battle that the player character will play against the enemy character of the miscellaneous fish (half fisherman) The middle effect is performed, and if the probability variation remaining number is 10 or less, the battle effect is performed such that the player character battles against the enemy character of the small boss (boy). That is, when the number of consecutive churns is equal to or less than five consecutive chants, effects during battle with the enemy character of the small boss (boy) are executed as a special effect over a partial period in which the probability of remaining number of times is 10 or less. be able to.

  Further, in the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A, battle effect patterns are determined at different rates according to the probability variation variation count value and the variable display result. Specifically, if the variable display result is "loss" when the fluctuation count value during definite variation is "33" to "11", the miscellaneous fish battle production inferiority pattern A1 or the miscellaneous fish battle production superiority pattern A2 If the variable display result is determined to be "big hit", it is determined to be the miscellaneous fish battle effect victory pattern A3. In the case where the probability variation variation count value is “10” to “2”, when the variable display result is “loss”, the small boss battle rendering inferior pattern B1 or the small boss battle rendering superior pattern B2 is determined, When the variable display result is "big hit", it is determined to be the small boss battle effect winning pattern B3. If the variable display result is "losing" when the probability variation variation count value is "1", the small boss battle effect defeat pattern B3 is determined, and the variable display result is "big hit". Is determined to be the small boss battle rendition victory pattern B4.

  By doing this, regardless of the probability variation remaining count, when the variable display result is "big hit", it can be definitely notified that the big hit gaming state is controlled by the production mode of the battle effect . In addition, regarding the last variable display of the decorative symbol executed during the probability change control, when the variable display result is "big hit", it is informed that it will be controlled to the big hit gaming state by the production mode of the battle effect When the variable display result is "losing", it is possible to definitively notify that the time reduction state is controlled by the effect mode of the battle effect.

  Further, in the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A, the battle effect pattern is determined in different proportions according to the probability variation variation count value, the variable display result, and the variation pattern. It has become. Specifically, when the variation count value during the definite variation is “33” to “11” and the variable display result is “loss”, “non reach” is the case where the variation pattern is “reach variation pattern” It is easier to be determined as the miscellaneous fish battle rendition dominant pattern A2 than in the case of the variation pattern, and the case where the variation pattern is the "super reach variation pattern" is more than the case where the "reach variation pattern" is It is easy to be determined to the miscellaneous fish battle directing advantage pattern A2. In addition, when the variation count value during the definite variation is “10” to “2” and the variable display result is “loss”, the “non-reach variation pattern” is the one where the variation pattern is the “reach variation pattern”. It is easier to determine the small boss battle rendition dominant pattern B2 than in the case where the small boss battle rendition pattern, and the small boss battle rendition is more effective when the variation pattern is the "super reach variation pattern" than when it is the "reach variation pattern" It is easy to determine the dominant pattern B2.

  By doing this, as described above, in the battle effect of the battle effect victory pattern, the ratio of the effect of executing the aspect in which the character of the own character is advantageous as the aspect of the battle until the victory is If the character appearance of the character is higher than the rate at which the effect of the aspect is performed, the expectation of the variable display result becoming "big hit" may be changed by the effect mode of the battle effect. it can.

  Further, in the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A, the probability change variation count value, the variable display result, and the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during probability change control are “big hit”. The battle effect pattern is determined at a different rate depending on whether or not the special figure game is on hold and stored, and the in-hold in-game big hit determination result. Specifically, in the case where the probability variation variation count value is “10” to “2” and the variable display result is “loss”, when the probability variation pending inside jackpot determination result is “no inside pending jackpot determination” Is easier to be determined in the small boss battle production inferiority pattern B1 than in the case of "with hold in the big hit determination", and the case in which the result is "with hold in the big hit determination" The smaller boss battle rendition dominant pattern B2 is easier to be determined than in the case of “no pending inner jackpot determination”.

  In this way, when the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control is "big hit" is not stored on hold, the effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character is disadvantageous In the aspect that when the special view game in which the variable display result is a “big hit” is stored on hold as the variable display suspension storage performed during the probability change control, the character of the player character is advantageous. The effect is likely to be continued, and the effect of winning the self character is executed in the variable display corresponding to the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control becomes a "big hit". That is, at an early stage of the period during which the battle effect with the enemy character of the small boss (boy) is executed, the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control becomes "big hit" In this case, the effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character becomes advantageous is executed frequently, and as a result, the effect of the aspect in which the own character wins is executed, and the own character wins Can give the player the impression of On the other hand, at a late stage of the period during which the battle effect with the enemy character of the small boss (boy) is executed, the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control becomes "big hit" In this case, the effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character becomes disadvantageous is frequently executed, so the effect of the aspect in which the own character wins is executed, and the own character struggles to win Such an impression can be given to the player. That is, in the execution period of the battle effect with the enemy character of the small boss (boy), the special view game in which the variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control becomes a "big hit" is reserved and stored. When it is determined that the state becomes the state, it is possible to make the aspect of the battle effect with the enemy character of the small boss (boy) after the determination different according to the timing.

  In addition, for example, in the process of step S136, when the consecutive-ch frequency count value read in step S133 is "6" or more and "10 or less", that is, the consecutive-ch frequency is 6 or more continuous chan and 10 or less continuous chan In this case, a battle effect determination first table 202 shown in FIG. 27B is set as a table for determining a battle effect pattern.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. The battle effect determination pattern may be determined by referring to the battle effect determination second table 202 based on the random number values thus extracted.

  In the setting of the battle effect determination second table 202 shown in FIG. 27B, the battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the probability variation variation count value, that is, according to the probability variation remaining number. There is. Specifically, in the case where the probability variation variation count value is “33” to “6”, it is determined to be one of the miscellaneous fish battle effect patterns A1 to A3. Further, when the probability variation variation count value is “5” to “1”, it is determined to be one of the middle boss battle effect patterns C1 to C4.

  By doing this, if the number of consecutive breaks is 6 or more and 10 or less, if the probability of remaining number of times is 6 or more, the player character fights against the enemy character of the miscellaneous fish (half fisherman) If such an effect during a battle is performed and the probability variation remaining number is 5 times or less, an effect during a battle is performed such that the player character plays against the enemy character of the middle boss (old man). That is, when the number of consecutive churns is 6 or more and 10 or less, during the battle with the enemy character of the middle boss (old man) as a special effect over a partial period in which the probability number of remaining times is 5 or less. A presentation can be performed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the number of consecutive breaks is 5 or less, the period in which the special effect can be performed is longer than in the case where the number of consecutive breaks is 6 or more and 10 or less. . In other words, the special effect is started earlier in the case where the number of consecutive vibrations is 5 or less than in the case where the number of consecutive vibrations is 6 or more and 10 or less.

  In this way, when the number of consecutive churns is 5 or less, the probability change control corresponding to the period when the special effect may be executed, compared to the case where the number of consecutive churns is 6 or more and 10 or less consecutive chants Since the chance of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" at an early timing in the middle increases, the player can be given an impression that the enemy character of the boss is won at an earlier timing, as the number of consecutive chases is smaller.

  In addition, when the number of consecutive channings is 6 or more and 10 or less consecutive chans, the period in which the special effect can be performed is shorter than in the case where the number of consecutive churns is 5 or less, so the number of consecutive churns increases As a result, it is possible to give the player an impression that it becomes difficult to win against the enemy character of the boss.

  In addition, in the setting of the battle effect determination second table 202 shown in FIG. 27 (B), similar to the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27 (A), the probability variation variation count value, the variable display result, The battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the variation pattern and the probability change pending in-class big hit determination result.

  Also, for example, in the process of step S136, if the consecutive-ch frequency count value read in step S133 is "11" or more and the second big hit count value read in step S134 is less than "5", ie, A table for determining a battle effect pattern when the number of consecutive churn is 11 or more and the number of times that the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of “the second big hit” is less than 5 times The battle effect determination third table 203 shown in FIG. 28A is set.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. The battle effect determination pattern may be determined by referring to the battle effect determination third table 203 based on the random number values thus extracted.

  In the setting of the battle effect determination third table 203 shown in FIG. 28 (A), the battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the probability variation fluctuation count value, that is, according to the probability variation remaining number. There is. Specifically, when the probability variation variation count value is "33" to "4", it is determined to be one of the miscellaneous fish battle effect patterns A1 to A3. Also, when the probability variation variation count value is “3” to “1”, it is determined to be one of the large boss battle effect patterns D1 to D4.

  In this way, if the number of consecutive chants is 11 or more, and the number of times that the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "the second big hit" is less than 5 times, the probability variation remaining number of times If there are four or more times, effects are produced during a battle where the player character fights against the enemy character of the miscellaneous fish (half fisher), and if the number of probability variations is three or less, the player character is a large boss (monster During the battle, the battle character is played against the enemy character of. That is, if the number of consecutive churns is 11 or more and the number of times that the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "second big hit" is less than 5 times, the probability variation remaining number is 3 times or less During the battle with the enemy character of the large boss (monster) as a special effect, it is possible to execute the special effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the number of consecutive breaks is 6 or more and 10 or less, the period in which the special effect can be performed is longer than in the case where the number of consecutive movements is 11 or more. . In other words, when the number of consecutive churns is 6 or more and 10 or less, the special effect is started earlier than when the number of consecutive chants is 11 or more consecutive chans.

  In this way, when the number of consecutive churns is 6 or more and 10 or less, probability variation control corresponding to a period in which the special effect may be executed, compared to the case where the number of consecutive chants is 11 or more consecutive chants Since the chance of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" at an early timing in the middle increases, the player can be given an impression that the enemy character of the boss is won at an earlier timing, as the number of consecutive chases is smaller.

  In addition, when the number of consecutive channings is 11 consecutive chans or more, since the period in which the special effect can be performed is shorter than when the number of consecutive chantings is 6 or more and 10 or less, the number of consecutive sleepings increases As a result, it is possible to give the player an impression that it becomes difficult to win against the enemy character of the boss.

  In addition, in the setting of the battle effect determination third table 203 shown in FIG. 28 (A), similar to the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27 (A), the probability variation variation count value, the variable display result, The battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the variation pattern and the probability change pending in-class big hit determination result.

  Also, for example, in the process of step S136, even if the consecutive-ch frequency count value read in step S133 is "11" or more, the second big hit count value read in step S134 is "5" or more That is, even if the number of consecutive churns is 11 or more, if the number of times the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "second big hit" is 5 times or more, the battle effect pattern is determined The battle effect determination fourth table 204 shown in FIG. 28 (B) is set as a table to be played.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. The battle effect determination pattern may be determined by referring to the battle effect determination fourth table 204 based on the random number values thus extracted.

  In the setting of the battle effect determination fourth table 204 shown in FIG. 28 (B), the battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the probability variation fluctuation count value, that is, according to the probability variation remaining number. There is. Specifically, when the probability variation variation count value is "33" to "4", it is determined to be one of the miscellaneous fish battle effect patterns A1 to A3. In addition, when the probability variation variation count value is “3” to “1”, it is determined to be one of the Las Boss battle effect patterns E1 to E4.

  In this way, if the number of consecutive chants is 11 or more, and the number of times that the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "the second big hit" is 5 times or more, the probability variation remaining number of times If four or more times, the self-character is in the battle to play against the enemy character of the miscellaneous fish (half fish person) is performed, if the number of probability variation remaining is three times or less, the own character is Lassboss (black) During the battle, the player is directed to battle against the enemy character of. That is, even if the number of consecutive churns is 11 or more, if the number of times that the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "the second big hit" is 5 times or more, the probability variation remaining number is 3 times During a part of the following period, it is possible to execute an in-game battle with the enemy character of Lass Boss (black) as a special effect of the specific aspect.

  Thus, even if the number of consecutive villas is 11 or more consecutive chans, among the specific embodiments of the specific mode that can not be viewed unless the number of times the jackpot type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "second big hit" is five or more As a special effect, it is possible to execute during the battle with the enemy character of Lass boss (black), as a specific advantageous condition, against being controlled to the jackpot gaming state of the "second jackpot" jackpot type , The player can have a sense of expectation.

  Besides, in the setting of the battle effect determination fourth table 204 shown in FIG. 28 (B), similar to the setting of the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27 (A), the probability variation variation count value, the variable display result, The battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the variation pattern and the probability change pending in-class big hit determination result.

  After executing the processing of step S136, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the battle effect pattern determined in step S136 is a miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern (step S137). At this time, if it is determined that it is not a miscellaneous fish battle rendition pattern (step S137; NO), the probability variation in progress setting processing ends.

  If it is determined in step S137 that the mixed fish battle effect pattern is determined (step S137; YES), the EXT data in the variable display result notification command transmitted from the main substrate 11 is read, for example. It is determined whether the figure display result is "loss" (step S138). At this time, when it is determined that the special view display result is not a "losing" but a "big hit" (step S138; NO), the in-progressive effect setting process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S138 that the special view display result is "loss" (step S138; YES), whether or not to execute the boss notice effect, and the boss notice effect pattern to be executed are determined. Then (step S139), the process of setting the effect during positive variation ends. Here, the boss advance notice effect is a special effect before a battle effect with the enemy character of the boss is started as a special effect, that is, in a period in which a battle effect with the enemy character of miscellaneous fish is executed. It is an effect that predicts that an effect during battle with an enemy character of a boss is to be executed.

  Here, in the process of determining the presence or absence of the boss notice effect in step S139, and the boss notice effect pattern in the case of executing the boss notice effect, it is determined in step S138 that the special view display result is "loss". Will only be executed if By doing this, the boss notice effect is produced despite the fact that the probability change state is ended and the big hit gaming state is controlled without the effect being produced during the battle of the small boss battle effect pattern being executed as the special effect. Inconsistencies between the effects can be prevented from occurring, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29, a plurality of boss notice effects patterns YP1 to YP4 are prepared in advance.

  Here, in the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP2, it is announced by displaying a message such as “It is a boss soon!” That the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed as the special effect. In addition, in the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP3, the boss notice effect pattern YP2 boss notice such as “The boss is close!” That the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed as a special effect. Notice by displaying a message of nuance that is stronger than the effect. In addition, in the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP4, the boss notice effect pattern YP3 boss notice such as “A boss comes !!!” that the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed as a special effect. Notice by displaying a message of nuance that is stronger than the effect. On the other hand, in the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP1, the boss notice effect pattern YP2, "Boss's sign is ..." that the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed as a special effect. The notice is given by displaying an ambiguous nuance message that can be either strong or weak, as compared to the nuances of the YP3 boss notice effect.

  For example, in the process of step S139, if the consecutive-ch frequency count value read out at step S133 is "5" or less, that is, if the consecutive-ch frequency is equal to or less than 5 consecutive ch And as a table for determining a boss | announced notice production | presentation pattern in the case of performing, the boss | advised announcement production determination 1st table 301 shown to FIG. 30A is set.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. Based on the random number value extracted in this manner, the boss notice effect determination first table 301 may be referenced to determine the presence or absence of the boss notice effect and the boss notice effect pattern for execution.

  In the setting of the boss advance notice effect determination first table 301 shown in FIG. 30A, according to the probability variation variation count value, that is, the probability variation remaining number and the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during probability variation control The boss advance presentation effect pattern is determined at different rates depending on whether or not the special figure game to be the "big hit" is on hold and stored, and the in-hold big hit determination result. Specifically, if the probability variation variation count value is “33” to “15”, the percentage determined not to execute the boss advance presentation effect is 100%. On the other hand, if the probability variation variation count value is "14", it may be determined to execute the boss advance notice effect, and if the probability variation variation count value is "13" to "11" , Be sure to be determined to perform the boss notice effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, during the small boss battle, as a special effect, the in-game effect of the effect pattern is executed as a special effect in response to the ten remaining probability variations. Therefore, when the number of consecutive churns is equal to or less than 5 consecutive chases, variable display in which a battle is produced during a battle with a small boss battle effect pattern as a special effect corresponding to the probability variation remaining number being 14 times Rather, in response to the fourth variable display being executed, a boss advance notice effect can be executed.

  Further, in the setting of the first notice of bosses presentation effect determination table 301 shown in FIG. 30A, when the change count value during the probability change is “14”, the bosses not notice effect is not executed, and the bosses announcement effect pattern YP1. If it is determined to be one of the boss notice effects in the case, and the probability change variation count value is "13", either the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP1 or the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP2 It is supposed to be decided.

  By doing this, in response to the probability change residual number having become 14 times, although the boss advance presentation is executed, the boss corresponding to the fact that the probability change residual number has become 13 times, It is possible to prevent a situation in which the advance notice effect is not performed and prevent the player from feeling distrust.

  Further, in the setting of the first notice of boss presentation effect determination table 301 shown in FIG. 30A, when the variation count value during the probability change is “12”, any of the boss announcement effects of the boss announcement effect pattern YP1 to YP3. In the case where the probability variation variation count value is “11”, it is determined to be one of boss notice effects of boss notice effects patterns YP1, YP3, and YP4.

  In this way, although the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP3 is executed corresponding to the probability change remaining number becoming 12 times, the probability change remaining number becomes 11 times In response to the above, the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP2 of which the nuance of the message is weaker than that of the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP3 is prevented from being executed. You can try not to hold it.

  Here, in the case where the special view game in which the variable display result is the "big hit" is suspended and stored when the definite variation variation count value is "14" to "11", during the battle of the miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern The variable display result is "big hit" during the execution of the effect, there is a possibility that the probability change state is ended and the jackpot gaming state is controlled without the effect being produced during the battle of the small boss battle effect pattern being performed as a special effect .

  Therefore, in the setting of the boss notice effect determination first table 301 shown in FIG. 30 (A), the special view game in which the variable display result is “big hit” is suspended when the probability variation change count value is “14”. The boss notice effect is better when the in-hold big hit determination result of whether or not it is stored is “with in-hold big hit determination” than in the case where the in-hold big hit determination result is “no in-hold big hit determination” It is easy to decide not to execute.

  By doing this, the boss notice effect is produced despite the fact that the probability change state is ended and the big hit gaming state is controlled without the effect being produced during the battle of the small boss battle effect pattern being executed as the special effect. Can be prevented from occurring frequently, and the player can be prevented from being distrusted.

  Further, in the setting of the first notice of boss presentation effect determination first table 301 shown in FIG. 30 (A), the variable display result is “big hit” when the change count value during the probability change is “13” or “12”. If the on-hold jackpot determination result as to whether or not the figure game is on-hold is stored, the percentage determined as the on-the-boss announcement effect of the on-the-boss announcement effect pattern YP1 is 100%.

  By doing in this way, a special effect is not performed during a battle with a small boss battle effect pattern as a special effect, and even though the definite change state is ended and the situation is controlled to the big hit gaming state, strong nuance It is possible to prevent the boss notice effect for displaying a message from being executed, and to prevent the player from feeling distrust. Moreover, in response to the probability change remaining number of times becoming 14 times, although the boss notification effect is executed, the boss notification effect is not executed in response to the probability change remaining number becoming 13 times , Etc. can be prevented, and the player can be prevented from being distrusted.

  Here, as described above, in the process of determining the presence or absence of the boss notice effect in step S139, and the boss notice effect pattern in the case of executing the boss notice effect, the special view display result is "missing" in step S138. It is executed only when it is determined that the Therefore, when the boss advance notice effect is executed in the variable display where the number of probability change remaining times is 11 times, the variable display result becomes “lost”, and the small boss battle in-progress pattern as a special effect corresponding to the next variable display. Production during the battle will always be executed.

  Therefore, in the setting of the first notice of boss presentation effect determination table 301 shown in FIG. 30A, if the probability variation variation count value is “11”, the percentage determined to be the boss announcement notice of boss announcement effect pattern YP4 Is 100%.

  In this way, in the variable display where the probability of remaining number of times is 11 times, it is possible to execute the boss notice effect displaying the message of the strongest nuance, and the special effect during the small boss battle during the battle It can improve the interest in being implemented.

  Also, for example, in the process of step S139, when the consecutive-ch frequency count value read in step S133 is "6" or more and "10 or less", that is, the consecutive-ch frequency is 6 or more and 10 or less. In this case, as a table for determining the presence or absence of the boss notice effect and the boss notice effect pattern to be executed, the boss notice effect determination second table 302 shown in FIG. 30B is set.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. Based on the random number value thus extracted, the presence / absence notice of boss notice effect and the boss notice effect pattern for execution may be determined by referring to the boss notice effect determination second table 302.

  In addition, in the setting of the boss advance notice effect determination second table 302 shown in FIG. 30B, as in the setting of the boss notice effect determination first table 301 shown in FIG. The battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the jackpot determination result.

  Also, for example, in the process of step S139, when the consecutive-ch frequency count value read out at step S133 is "10" or more, that is, when the consecutive-ch frequency is 11 consecutive chans or more, As a table for determining the presence or absence and the boss notice effect pattern in the case of execution, a boss notice effect determination third table 303 shown in FIG. 30C is set.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for battle effect determination, which is updated by, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193. Based on the random number value thus extracted, the presence or absence of the boss notice effect and the boss notice effect pattern to be executed may be determined by referring to the boss notice effect determination third table 303.

  In addition, in the setting of the boss advance notice effect determination third table 303 shown in FIG. 30C, like the setting of the boss advance notice effect determination first table 301 shown in FIG. The battle effect pattern is determined at different rates according to the jackpot determination result.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing executed in step S172 of FIG. 23 as the variable display effect processing. In the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 31, first, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern has elapsed based on, for example, the effect control process timer value (step S661) ). As an example, in the process of step S661, the effect control process timer value is updated, and when the end code is read from the effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value after the update, the variable display time elapses It may be determined that the

  If the variable display time has not elapsed in step S661 (step S661; NO), it is determined whether or not it is a continuous chan notification effect execution period for executing the continuous chan notification effect (step S662). The continuous chan notification effect execution period may be determined in advance by, for example, a continuous chan notification effect control pattern corresponding to the continuous chan notification effect, or a special view fluctuation effect control pattern or the like.

  If it is determined in step S662 that the connected chan alert effect execution period is in progress (step S662; YES), effect operation control for executing the linked chan alert effect is performed (step S663). As an example, in the process of step S663, the display of the effect image, the output of the sound effect, the lighting of the lamp, the effect according to the effect control execution data read out from the continuous channel notification effect control pattern or the special image variation effect control pattern In order to perform a predetermined effect operation including a part or all of the operation of the movable member for this purpose, various commands are created and transmitted to the display control unit 123, the voice control board 13, the lamp control board 14 etc. You should do it. In particular, in the continuous channel notification effect image display area provided on the screen of the image display device 5, display operation control for displaying an image corresponding to the continuous channel notification effect may be performed.

  When it is not the consecutive chan information effect execution period in step S661 (step S662; NO) or after the process of step S663 is executed, it is determined whether or not it is a battle effect execution period for executing battle effect (Step S664). The battle effect execution period may be determined in advance by, for example, a battle effect control pattern corresponding to the battle effect, a special image fluctuation effect control pattern, or the like. When a battle result notification effect for notifying the result of the battle according to the transition of the game state is executed, the execution period may be included in the battle effect execution period.

  If it is determined in step S664 that the battle effect execution period is in progress (step S664; YES), effect operation control for executing battle effect is performed (step S665). As an example, in the process of step S665, the display of the effect image, the output of the sound effect, the lighting of the lamp, the effect for the effect according to the effect control execution data read from the battle effect control pattern or the special image variation effect control pattern etc. In order to perform a predetermined effect operation including part or all of the operation of the movable member, various commands are created and transmitted to the display control unit 123, the voice control board 13, the lamp control board 14 and the like. Just do it. In particular, in the battle effect image display area provided on the screen of the image display device 5, display operation control for displaying an image corresponding to the battle effect may be performed.

  When it is not the battle effect execution period in step S664 (step S664; NO) or after the process of step S665 is executed, it is determined whether or not it is a boss notification effect execution period for executing a boss notification effect. (Step S666). The boss notice effect execution period may be determined in advance by, for example, a boss notice effect control pattern corresponding to a boss notice effect, a special view fluctuation effect control pattern, or the like.

  If it is determined in step S666 that the boss notice effect execution period is in progress (step S666; YES), effect operation control for executing the boss notice effect is performed (step S667). As an example, in the process of step S667, the display of the effect image and the output of the sound effect, the lighting of the lamp, and the effect according to the effect control execution data read out from the boss announcement effect control pattern or the special image variation effect control pattern etc. In order to perform a predetermined effect operation including a part or all of the operation of the movable member, various commands are generated and transmitted to the display control unit 123, the sound control board 13, the lamp control board 14 and the like. Just do it. In particular, in the boss notice effect image display area provided on the screen of the image display device 5, display operation control for displaying an image corresponding to the boss notice effect may be performed.

  When it is not the boss announcement effect execution period in step S666 (step S666; NO) or after the process of step S667 is performed, for example, based on the setting in the special figure fluctuation effect control pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern, etc. After performing other rendering operation control (step S668), the variable display effect processing ends.

  If the variable display time has elapsed in step S661 (step S661; YES), it is determined whether or not the symbol determination command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received (step S669). At this time, if the symbol determination command is not received (step S669; NO), the variable display effect processing is ended and the process waits. In addition, after the variable display time has elapsed, when the predetermined time has elapsed without receiving the symbol determination command, predetermined error processing is executed in response to the failure to receive the symbol determination command normally. It may be done.

  In step S669, when the symbol determination command is received (step S669; YES), for example, in the variable display of the decorative symbol, for example, transmitting a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123 or the like. Control is performed to derive and display the final stop symbol as the display result (step S670).

  After executing the process of step S669, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not the probability change control is in progress by reading out the game state designation buffer value from, for example, the effect control buffer setting unit 194 or the like (step S671). At this time, if the probability change control is being performed (step S 671; YES), the probability change variation count value is updated so as to be decremented by one in response to the variable display being executed during the probability change control (step S 672) ). Thus, the count value after update indicating the remaining number of times of the variable display performed during the probability variation control is stored in the probability variation middle variation counter.

  If the probability change control is not in progress in step 671 (step S671; NO), or after the processing in step S672 is executed, time reduction control is being performed, for example, by reading the game state designation buffer value from the effect control buffer setting unit 194 or the like. It is determined whether or not (step S673). At this time, if the time saving control is being performed (step S 673; YES), the time change record count value is updated so as to be decremented by 1 in response to the variable display being executed during the time saving control (step S 674). ). In this way, the updated count value indicating the remaining number of times of the variable display performed during the time saving control is stored in the time saving / mid-hour fluctuation counter.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the updated hour and week variation count value has become “0” (step S 675). If the updated hour and hour change count value is “0” (step S 675; YES), the special view display result is “for example, by reading the EXT data in the variable display result notification command transmitted from the main substrate 11. It is determined whether or not there is a loss (step S 676). At this time, if it is determined that the special figure display result is "lost" (step S676; YES), the continuous channel counter is cleared, and the count value is initialized to "0" (step S677). And the second jackpot counter is cleared, and the count value is initialized to "0" (step S678).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the count value of the number of consecutive changes, the number of consecutive changes, and the number of consecutive changes corresponding to the end of the time reduction state without the variable display result of the variable display becoming a "big hit" in the time reduction state. Among them, the count value of the number of times the jackpot type is controlled to the jackpot gaming state of "second jackpot" is cleared.

  If the time saving control is not in progress in step S673 (step S673; NO), if the hour / hour variation count value after updating in step S675 is other than “0” (step S675; NO), the process in step S676 If it is determined that the special map display result is not a “losing” but a “big hit” (step S 676; NO), or after the process of step S 678 is performed, it is determined in advance as a hit start designation command reception waiting time. The set constant time is set (step S679). Then, after the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3” which is a value corresponding to the special-image-per-wait process (step S 680), the variable-in-display effect process is ended.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing executed in step 175 of FIG. 23 as the ending effect processing. In the ending effect process shown in FIG. 33, the effect control CPU 120 first determines, for example, whether the ending effect in progress flag provided in the effect control flag setting unit 191 or the like is on (step S 681). Here, the ending effect in-progress flag is set to the on state by the processing of step S684 described later, corresponding to the execution of the ending effect.

  When the ending effecting flag is off at step S681 (step S681; NO), a fixed time set as the ending effecting time is set (step S682). Subsequently, for example, setting is made to start a rendering operation to be an ending rendering, such as selecting a rendering control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state as a usage pattern (step S683). Thereafter, the ending effecting flag is set to the on state (step S684), and the ending effect process is ended.

  When the ending effecting flag is on at step S681 (step S681), it is determined whether the ending effecting time has elapsed (step S685). If the ending effecting time has not elapsed (step S685; NO), the ending effect processing is ended after control of the effect operation to be the ending effect (step S686).

  If the ending effecting time has elapsed in step S685 (step S685; YES), the ending effecting flag is cleared to turn off (step S687).

  After execution of the process of step S687, for example, "100" is set as the count initial value corresponding to the number of times of the variable display for executing the time reduction control in the time reduction variation counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193 or the like. (Step S688) For example, "33" is set as a count initial value corresponding to the number of times of variable display for executing the probability change control in the probability change middle variation counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193 or the like (step S689).

  After execution of the process of step S689, for example, the connected chan count value, which is the stored value of the connected channel counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193 or the like, is updated to add 1 (step S690). Note that the process in step S690 is not limited to the addition of one consecutive chan count value when the big hit gaming state ends, for example, even when the consecutive start count command is received, the consecutive chan count value is updated. Good.

  After execution of the process of step S690, it is determined whether or not the big hit type is "second big hit", for example, by reading the EXT data in the hit end designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 (step S691) . At this time, if it is determined that the big hit type is "second big hit" (step S691; YES), for example, the stored value of the second big hit counter provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193 or the like The second big hit count value 1 is updated so as to add 1 (step S692). Note that the processing in step S692 is not limited to the addition of the second jackpot count value when the jackpot gaming state ends, for example, when a jackpot start command is received, the jackpot type is "second jackpot". If so, the second jackpot count value may be updated.

  If the jackpot type is not the "second jackpot" but the "first jackpot" in step S691 (step S691; NO), after executing the processing of step S692, clear the rendering process flag, and After the value is initialized to "0" (step S693), the ending effect process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 33 to FIG. 37, an example operation of the battle effect and the like will be described.

  As described above, in this embodiment, battle rendition is performed in response to being controlled to the probability change state. In the battle production, first, during the battle production of the miscellaneous fish battle production pattern of a mode in which the player character plays against the enemy character of the miscellaneous fish (half fisher), then the battle with the enemy character of the boss is performed as a special production. The middle effect is executed.

  In this embodiment, according to the number of consecutive moves, the stage during the battle of the miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern ends, and the timing of transitioning to the stage during the battle with the enemy character of the boss as the special stage is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33 (A), when the number of consecutive changes is 5 or less, the variable display for 10 times corresponds to the probability change remaining number becoming 10 times, As a special effect, an effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed. Further, as shown in FIG. 33 (B), when the number of consecutive changes is 6 or more and 10 or less, the variable display for 5 times is performed corresponding to the probability change remaining number becoming 5 times, As a special effect, an effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 33C and 33D, when the number of consecutive changes is 11 or more, the variable display for 3 times is performed corresponding to the probability change remaining number being 3 times. As a special effect, an effect during a battle with the enemy character of the boss is executed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, by changing the timing at which the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is performed as the special effect in accordance with the number of consecutive movements, the special effect Since the chance of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" at an early timing during the probability change control corresponding to the period that can be executed is increased, it is possible to give the player an impression of winning the enemy character of the boss at an early timing. Further, as the number of times of continuous shooting increases, the period in which the special effect can be performed becomes shorter, so it is possible to give the player an impression that it is difficult to win against the enemy character of the boss.

  Further, in this embodiment, according to the number of consecutive changes and the number of times the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of “second big hit” among the number of consecutive shots, with the enemy character of the boss as a special effect The production during the battle is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33 (A) and FIG. 34 (A), when the number of consecutive breaks is five or less, the jackpot type is controlled to the jackpot gaming state of “second jackpot” Regardless of the number of times, as a special effect, an in-game effect of a small boss battle effect pattern is executed such that the own character CHZ plays against the enemy character CHB of the small boss (boy). Also, as shown in FIG. 33B and FIG. 34B, when the number of consecutive breaks is six or more and ten or less, the jackpot type is controlled to the jackpot gaming state of “second jackpot” Regardless of the number of times, as a special effect, an in-game effect of an inside boss battle effect pattern is executed such that the self character CHZ plays against the enemy character CHC of the inside boss (old man). Also, as shown in FIGS. 33C and 34C, if the number of consecutive churn is 11 or more and the jackpot type is less than 5 times controlled to the jackpot gaming state of "second jackpot" In the special effect, an effect during battle of a large boss battle effect pattern is executed such that the self character CHZ plays against the enemy character CHD of the large boss (monster). Also, as shown in FIG. 33D and FIG. 34D, if the number of consecutive churn is 11 or more and the big hit type is 5 or more times controlled to the big hit gaming state of “second big hit” As a special effect, an effect during battle of a boss boss battle effect pattern is executed such that the self character CHZ plays against the enemy character CHE of boss boss (black).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the boss enemy character is selected as a special effect according to the number of times of control of the big hit type of the “second big hit” among the number of consecutive hits and the number of consecutive hits. By making the production mode of the production during the battle different, the special production is not monotonous and the interest can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 34 (A) to (D), when being controlled in the positive change state, the positive change number display area 5Z provided on the screen of the image display device 5 In the above, display operation control for displaying characters notifying the remaining number of times is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 34 (A) to (D), in the continuous channel notification effect image display areas 5A and 5B provided on the screen of the image display device 5, the continuous channel notification effect is displayed. Display operation control for displaying a corresponding image is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 34, as an image showing the number of times the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "first big hit", an image such as "* x M (M is a number)" It is displayed on 5A. Also, as an image showing the number of times the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of "second big hit", an image such as "★ × N (N is a number)" is displayed in the continuous chan notification effect image display area 5B There is.

  By doing this, it is possible that the number of consecutive churns is M + N, and that among the number of consecutive chases, the number of times that the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of “second big hit” is N times, Not only can the notification be given to the player, but also the number of consecutive attempts can be associated with the special effect, and the player can be made aware of the number of consecutive attempts.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 33A to 33D, the variable display from the fourth time before the variable display in which the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is started as the special effect is performed. It is possible to execute the boss notice effect.

  FIG. 35 shows an example of the effect operation when the boss advance notification effect is executed when the number of consecutive vibrations is five or less.

  If the number of consecutive changes is five or less, as shown in FIG. 35A, after the variable display with the probability change remaining number of 15 is performed, the variable display with the probability change remaining number of 14 is performed. In response to the event, the boss notice effect can be executed.

  In this example of the rendering operation, an example is shown in which the boss advance notice effect is executed over the period from the variable display in which the probability variation residual number is 14 times to the variable display in which the probability variation residual number is 11 times. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), the boss notice effect of boss notice effect pattern YP1 is executed corresponding to the variable display where the probability variation residual number is 14 times, and is shown in FIG. 35 (C). Thus, in response to the variable display in which the probability of remaining variable number is 13 times, the boss notification effect of the boss informing effect pattern YP2 is executed, and as shown in FIG. In response to the display, the boss notice effect of the boss notice effect pattern YP3 is executed, and as shown in FIG. 35 (E), the boss notice effect pattern YP4 of the boss notice effect pattern YP4 corresponding to the variable display having 11 times of probability variation remaining number. Boss notice effect is being performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 35F, in response to the variable display in which the probability variation residual count is 10 times, transition is made to an effect during battle with the enemy character CHB of the small boss (boy) as a special effect.

  As in this production operation example, as the number of variable displays before transitioning to a staging effect with a small boss (boy) enemy character CHB as a special staging decreases, it is gradually stronger that the special representation is executed Noticing a notice with a nuance can not only inform the player that a special effect is to be executed, but also can improve the interest for the special effect.

  FIG. 36 shows that the variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control at the start of the battle effect with the enemy character CHB of the small boss (boy) to be executed as the special effect when the number of consecutive breaks is 5 or less An example of rendering operation in the case where a special drawing game to be a "big hit" is stored on hold is shown. FIG. 37 shows that, at the start of a battle effect with a small boss (boy) enemy character CHB executed as a special effect when the number of consecutive movements is 5 or less, variable display results that can be executed during the probability change control are A variable that may be executed during probability change control while a special figure game to be a "big hit" has not been reserved and stored, but a battle effect with a small boss (boy) enemy character CHB is being executed as a special effect The presentation operation example in case the special drawing game by which a display result becomes a "big hit" is pending-stored is shown.

  Referring to FIGS. 36 and 37, according to the timing at which the special view game in which the variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control is a "big hit" is stored on hold, the enemy character of the boss is executed as a special effect. It demonstrates that the production | presentation aspect of battle production of is different. In FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, of the circles indicating the pending storage display displayed in the start winning storage display area 5H, the pending display of the special figure game in which the variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control is "big hit". Hatching is applied to the circle indicating the display.

  The variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control is "big hit" at the start of the battle effect with the enemy character CHB of the small boss (boy) to be executed as a special effect when the number of consecutive changes is 5 or less. When the special figure game to be stored is on hold, according to the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A which is referred to in the process of step S136 in the effect variation setting process shown in FIG. If the display result is "loss", the small boss battle rendition dominant pattern B2 is determined at a higher rate than the proportion determined to the small boss battle retribution inferiority pattern B1.

  As a result, in the special effect executed corresponding to the variable display in which the variable display result is “losing”, rather than the effect of the aspect in which the shape of the own character CHZ becomes disadvantageous as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 36 (D), the result of the variable display is “big hit,” as a result of frequent execution of the rendering of the aspect in which the self character CHZ is advantageous as shown in FIGS. 36 (A) and 36 (C). In response to the variable display of “”, an effect is executed such that the player character CHZ wins. In FIGS. 36C to 36D, in the battle effect of the battle effect victory pattern, an effect in which the own character CHZ finally wins is executed, but as an aspect of the battle until it is won An example is shown in which an effect of an aspect in which the self character CHZ is advantageous is executed.

  As in this production operation example, the special display in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control becomes "big hit" at an early stage of the period during which the battle production with the enemy character of the boss is executed as the special production. When the game is on hold, as an effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character CHZ becomes advantageous is frequently executed, an effect of an aspect in which the own character wins is executed, It is possible to give the player an impression that the character CHZ wins well.

  On the other hand, at the start of the battle effect with the enemy character CHB of the small boss (boy) to be executed as a special effect when the number of consecutive churns is 5 times or less, the variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control is “big hit If the special view game to be “is not stored on hold, the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A referred to in the process of step S 136 in the probability variation in progress setting process shown in FIG. For example, if the variable display result is "losing", the small boss battle staging inferiority pattern B1 is determined at a rate higher than the percentage determined for the small boss battle directing superiority pattern B2.

  As a result, in the special effect executed corresponding to the variable display in which the variable display result is “losing”, the form of the own character CHZ is disadvantageous as shown in FIGS. 37 (A) and 37 (B). The production is performed frequently.

  Then, while the battle effect with the enemy character CHB of the small boss (boy) is being executed as the special effect, the special drawing game in which the variable display result that can be executed during the probability change control is “big hit” is stored on hold In this case, according to the battle effect determination first table 201 shown in FIG. 27A, which is referred to in the process of step S136 in the positive variable effect effect setting process shown in FIG. The small boss battle rendition dominant pattern B2 is determined at a rate higher than the proportion determined for the small boss battle rendition inferiority pattern B1.

  As a result, in the special effect executed corresponding to the variable display in which the variable display result is “losing”, the form of the own character CHZ becomes disadvantageous as shown in FIGS. 37 (D) and (E). As shown in FIG. 37 (H), as a result of the execution of an aspect in which the self character CHZ has an advantage as shown in FIG. 37 (C), (F) and (G) more frequently than the effect is executed. Then, in response to the variable display in which the variable display result is a "big hit", an effect is executed such that the own character CHZ wins. In FIGS. 37 (G) to 37 (H), in the battle effect of the battle effect victory pattern, an effect in which the own character CHZ finally wins is executed, but as an aspect of the battle until it is won An example is shown in which an effect of an aspect in which the self character CHZ is advantageous is executed.

  As in this production operation example, the special display in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control becomes "big hit" at a late stage of the period during which the battle production with the enemy character of the boss is executed as the special production. When a game is stored on hold, as an effect of an aspect in which the character of the own character CHZ becomes disadvantageous is frequently executed, an effect of an aspect in which the own character CHZ wins is executed. The player can be given an impression that the character struggles and wins.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment, and one of the embodiments described above can solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may have a configuration of part.

  (Modification 1) The pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to a definite change state in which probability change control is performed after the big hit gaming state based on the change display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol becoming "big hit" is finished It is not limited to the thing of game nature.

  Next, the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modification will be described based on FIG.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modified example, a first ordinary winning ball device capable of winning a game ball hit in the left gaming area and an ordinary prize winning a game ball hit in the right gaming region can be won It is assumed that a ball device is provided.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modified example is provided with a passing gate through which the game ball hit in the right game area can pass and a normal variable winning ball device in which the game ball hit in the right game area can win It shall be. And, above the second ordinary winning ball device, the passing gate and the ordinary variable winning ball device, a sorting device for distributing the gaming ball to the second ordinary winning ball device and the passing gate and the ordinary variable winning ball device Shall be provided.

  Further, it is assumed that the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modified example is provided with a special variable winning ball device capable of winning a game ball hit in the right game area. Then, in the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device, the first count switch for detecting the gaming ball by passing the gaming ball, and the point after the gaming ball having passed the first count switch flowed down It is assumed that a second count switch for detecting game balls by passing the game balls is provided on one of the branch roads.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modification, a countdown display device is provided above the image display device 5. As an example, the countdown display device is composed of 7 segments, LEDs of dot matrix, etc., and in the high base state described later, the remaining from the start of variable display of the first special symbol to the high base end effect start timing The period can be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 38, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modification, first, in the low base state, the first starting winning opening formed in the first ordinary winning ball device by striking the gaming ball in the left gaming area The variable display of the first special symbol is executed by winning a. In the low base state, variable display of the first effect pattern corresponding to the first special symbol is executed in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5. When the variable display result is "losing" in the variable display of the first special symbol, the variable display of the first special symbol and the first effect symbol is repeated by further winning the game ball in the first start winning opening. To be executed.

  And, when it becomes "big hit" as a variable display result of the first special symbol, and the big hit type of "big hit" is "big hit A", the high base control is started after the big hit game is over and rushes into the chance time Do. On the other hand, when the jackpot type of the "big hit" is "big hit B" as the variable display result of the first special symbol, and the big hit type of "big hit" is "big hit B", the gaming state is controlled to the low base state again after the big hit game The variable display of the first special symbol is executed by winning the gaming ball in the first starting winning opening.

  The chance time is a period in which the variable display of the first special symbol is executed once with a variation pattern with a longer special pattern variation time than when the gaming state is in the low base state, and the gaming state is in the high base state It refers to the period from being controlled to the end of the variable display of the first special symbol.

  In the high base state, the game ball is launched to the right game area. At this time, part of the game balls hit in the right game area is distributed to the second ordinary winning ball device side, the passing gate, and the normal variable winning ball device side by entering the allocating device. In this case, the first special view reserve memory is generated by the game ball entering the second ordinary winning ball device at this time, so the first special figure reserve memory is controlled to the high base state in the state of 0 Even if there is, the variable display of the first special symbol can be performed.

  Then, when the game ball passes through the pass gate, the variable display of the normal symbol is executed. In the high base state, variable display of the second effect symbol corresponding to the normal symbol is executed in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5. When the variable display result is "losing" in the variable display of the normal symbol, the game ball passes through the passage gate to repeat the variable display of the normal symbol and the second effect symbol.

  In the case of "hit" as a result of the variable display of the normal symbol, the game ball is in a state where the game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device. Then, when a part of the game balls distributed to the passing gate and the normally variable winning ball device side by the distribution device wins the second start winning opening, the second special view reserve storage occurs.

  After one variable display of the first special symbol in the high base state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the low base state. Then, if the number of second special symbol holding memories generated during the chance time is 0, the variable display of the first special symbol is executed by striking out the gaming ball on the left gaming area again. In addition, when the number of 2nd special view reservation memories generated during the chance time is 1 or more, the variable display of the 2nd special symbols for the 2nd special view reserve storage numbers generated during the chance time is executed and the big hit Plunge into the rush zone to repeat the game.

  Specifically, when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed and the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "big hit C", the big hit game of big hit C is executed. Further, when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed and the variable display result is "small hit", the opening of the big winning opening is repeated as a small hit game. When the game ball is detected by the second count switch by hitting the game ball in the right game area while the big winning opening is open, a big hit game according to the small hit type is executed.

  Since the big hit C to big hit E is always controlled to the high base state after the big hit game is over, if the number of the second special view reservation memory number is 0 after the big hit game is over, the chance time is entered again. Thereafter, when the second special map reserve storage number occurs during the chance time, the chance time and the rush zone are repeatedly executed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 39 (A) and FIG. 39 (B), the big hit A, big hit C, big hit D, big hit E is controlled to the high base state with the first special view reservation memory at the end of the big hit game. If it is, the variable display of the first effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is started in the lower left part of the image display device 5, and the second effect symbol corresponding to the normal symbol is displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The display of the initial stop symbol is started. Furthermore, in the countdown display device, the countdown to the high base end time effect start timing according to the special figure fluctuation time of the first special symbol is started.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 52C and FIG. 52D, the big hit A, big hit C, big hit D, and big hit E at the end of the big hit game is controlled to the high base state without the first special view reserve memory. If it is, the stop symbol of the first effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is displayed in the lower left part of the image display device 5, and the second effect symbol corresponding to the normal symbol is displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The display of the initial stop symbol is started. Moreover, the display to the effect that variable display of the 1st special symbol in the high base state is not started yet is started on the image display device 5, and blinks all segments as a 1st special symbol variation start waiting effect in the countdown display device. Is executed.

  When the game ball enters the first start winning opening after being controlled to the high base state without the first special symbol holding memory as described above, as shown in FIG. 39 (E), the image display device In the lower left portion of 5, the variable display of the first effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is started, and the display that the variable display of the first special symbol in the high base state is not started yet is ended. Then, the countdown to the high base end time effect start timing according to the special figure fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the countdown display device is started.

  (Modification 2) In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modification 1, even if the special effect as in the above embodiment is executed over a partial period such as the last 120 seconds of the chance time. Good. In that case, special effects in different modes may be made executable according to the number of times the "big hit" of the big hit type is made to enter the chance time by starting high base control after the end of the big hit game. As a result, even in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the gaming nature as in the first modification, the special effects are not monotonous and the interest can be improved.

  (Modification 3) The production mode of the special production in the battle production is not limited to the one determined in accordance with the probability variation variation count value, the variable display result, the variation pattern, and the probability variation middle pending inner jackpot determination. For example, when the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control is "big hit" is on hold storage, it is determined whether or not the special effect is being executed, and the special effect is executed. If it is medium, the number of times of execution of the variable display until the variable display result becomes “big hit” may be calculated, and the effect mode of the special effect may be made different according to the calculated number of times of execution. In that case, for example, as the calculated number of times of execution is smaller, the effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character becomes advantageous is frequently executed, and the effect of the aspect in which the own character wins is executed and calculated. As the number of executions increases, the effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character becomes disadvantageous is frequently executed, and as a result, the effect of the aspect in which the own character wins may be executed.

  (Modification 4) In the above embodiment, when the variable display result is "big hit" during the period during which the miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern is in battle, the special effect is in battle with the enemy character of the boss. The presentation has been described as not being performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, when a special drawing game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the execution period of the battle effect of the miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern is "big hit" In order to avoid the special effects during the battle with the miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern, the special effects may be transferred to effects during battle with the enemy character of the boss. As a result, not only the execution frequency of the special effect increases, but also the timing at which the special effect is performed can be made to have unexpectedness. In addition, it is possible to improve the sense of expectation for the special rendering to be performed, and to improve the interest.

  (Modification 5) In the above embodiment, after the boss advance notice effect is executed during the execution of the miscellaneous fish battle effect pattern during the battle, the effect during the battle with the boss enemy character is always executed as a special effect. As described. However, in the battle effect which is the effect during the definite change, the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss may not be executed as the special effect. In that case, even when the effect during the battle with the enemy character of the boss is not executed as the special effect, the boss advance notice effect which is a gap may be executed. This makes it possible to improve the interest of special effects and boss advance effects.

  In the above embodiment, the special figure game using the first special figure is executed based on the detection of the gaming ball having passed the first starting winning opening, and the detection of the gaming ball having passed the second starting winning opening is performed. It has been described that the special drawing game using the second special drawing is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a special figure game using a common special symbol is executed regardless of which of the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening the game ball passes through. It may be.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, CPU120 for presentation control of the presentation control board 12 demonstrated as what determines the control content of various presentation operation | movement. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a plurality of CPUs or the like mounted respectively on a plurality of control boards provided to control a rendering operation share control contents of various rendering operations and determine them. You may

  In the above embodiment, in order to notify the CPU for effect control 120 of the fluctuation pattern indicating the fluctuation mode such as the fluctuation time and the type of reach effect, one fluctuation pattern designation command is transmitted when the fluctuation is started. However, the variation pattern may be notified to the CPU 120 for effect control by two or more commands. Specifically, when notified by two commands, the microcomputer 100 for game control indicates the fluctuation time or fluctuation mode before reaching the reach, such as presence or absence of pseudo ream, presence or absence of slip effect, in the first command. The command may be transmitted, and the second command may transmit a command indicating a fluctuation time or fluctuation mode after reaching the reach, such as the type of reach and presence / absence of re-lottery effect. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 may perform effect control in the variable display based on the change time derived from the combination of two commands. The game control microcomputer 100 notifies the fluctuation time by each of the two commands, and the effect control CPU 120 selects a specific fluctuation mode to be executed at each timing. It is also good. When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and after sending the first command, send the second command after a predetermined period has elapsed. You may do so. In addition, the fluctuation | variation aspect shown by each command is not necessarily limited to this example, It can change suitably also about the order to transmit. In this way, by notifying the fluctuation pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data which has to be stored as the fluctuation pattern command.

  In the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 which variably displays the special symbol and the decorative symbol by firing the gaming ball to be the gaming medium into the gaming area, and the predetermined image of the different aspect according to the aspect after the change of the movable member. It has been described that the configuration etc. capable of executing the predetermined effect to display the image is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration or function characterizing the present invention can be applied to other gaming machines such as slot machines.

  In addition, the device configuration and data configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the processing shown in the flowchart, and various rendering operations including the display operation of the rendering image in the display area of the image display device 5 deviate from the spirit of the present invention. As long as it does not, it is possible to change and modify arbitrarily. In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to a payout type gaming machine that pays out a predetermined number of winning balls in response to detection of winning balls, but encloses the gaming balls and responds to detection of winning balls. It can apply also to the enclosed type game machine which gives a score.

  The program and data for realizing the present invention are not limited to the form of being distributed / provided by a removable recording medium to the computer device etc. included in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the computer device etc. It may be distributed by pre-installing it in the storage device of. Furthermore, by providing a communication processing unit, the program and data for realizing the present invention are distributed by downloading from another device on a network connected via a communication line or the like. It does not matter.

  And the execution form of the game is not limited to that executed by attaching the removable recording medium, but can be executed by temporarily storing the program and data downloaded via the communication line etc. in the internal memory etc. It may be executed directly using hardware resources of another device on the network connected via a communication line or the like. Furthermore, the game may be executed by exchanging data with another computer device or the like via a network.

  Further, in the above embodiment, “the proportions are different” is not limited to those having different proportions such as A: B = 70%: 30% or A: B = 30%: 70%, A: B = 100%: 0% is a concept that includes different proportions.

  Also, in the above embodiment, the gaming machine is shown to be controlled to a definite change state after the big hit game based on the fact that there is a definite variation big hit or normal big hit as a big hit classification, and a definite variation big hit as a big hit classification. Not limited to such gaming machines. For example, the game machine has a special variable winning ball device having a predetermined random variable area provided therein, and the probability change is determined based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed through the random variable area in the special variable winning ball device during the big hit game. The configuration described in the above embodiment can also be applied to a gaming machine that is controlled to be in a positive change state after the end.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the case of variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols or decorative symbols of “1” to “8” and deriving and displaying the display result is shown, but such variable display is such a mode It is not limited to. For example, the symbol to be variably displayed and the symbol to be derived need not necessarily be the same, and a symbol different from the symbol that is variably displayed may be derived and displayed. Moreover, it is not necessary to variably display a plurality of types of symbols, and variable display may be performed using only one type of symbol. In this case, for example, the variable display may be performed by alternately repeating lighting and blinking of the one type of symbol display. And even in this case, one kind of symbol used for the variable display may be derived and displayed at the end, or a symbol different from the one kind of symbol is finally derived and displayed It may be one.

  The random numbers may not be synchronized by changing the update timing of each random number or changing the update range of each random number.

  In the above embodiment, the main substrate 11 stores the determination table for the random number value, and the main substrate 11 determines the random number value determination table based on the random number value extracted in the main substrate 11 at the start winning prize. Although the random number value determination process is executed with reference to it, the effect control board 12 receives the determination result determined in the main board 11 and executes the pre-reading advance notice effect based on the received determination result. The implementation mode of the pre-reading advance notice effect is not limited to this. For example, the table for determination of the random number is stored in the effect control board 12, and the effect control board 12 receives the random number itself extracted in the main board 11 from the main board 11, and based on the received random number The random number value determination process may be executed with reference to the random number value determination table, and the prefetching notice effect may be performed based on the determination result of the determination process. That is, the determination process of the random number value may be performed in the effect control board 12. Further, the determination process of the random number value may be performed on both the main substrate 11 and the effect control substrate 12. For example, the effect control board 12 may receive a part of random number values and execute the determination process of the random number values, and may receive the determination result determined in the main board 11. Specifically, for example, the effect control board 12 receives a random number value and performs determination of whether or not to be a big hit, and when it is a big hit, performs determination of the type of big hit, and based on the random value, the main board 11 The determination result of the variation pattern type determined in step S may be received. That is, the effect control board 12 can execute the advance reading notice effect based on the determination result determined by itself and the determination result determined by the main substrate 11.

  In the above embodiment, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. As described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an interrupt request for receiving the effect control command may be generated in response to an interrupt request due to the first bit of serial communication.

  As described above, the gaming machine according to the present invention has an advantageous state (for example, a probability change state, a chance time of the first modification, etc.) advantageous for the player and a specific period (for example, a probability change state) in the advantageous state. In the period during which the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times, and in the chance time of the first modification, the variable display of the first special symbol has a fluctuation pattern with a longer special pattern fluctuation time than when the gaming state is the low base state. It is a gaming machine that can be controlled to a predetermined state (for example, a normal state, a low base state of the first modification, etc.) that is more disadvantageous than the advantageous state according to the passage of a period of one execution etc.). A special effect (for example, a boss character with an enemy character) over a partial period in a specific period (for example, a period in which the probability variation residual number is equal to or less than a predetermined number, last 120 seconds of the chance time of modification 1) The special effect execution means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 for executing effects during a battle with the boss's enemy character, etc.) for executing the middle effect etc. is provided, and the special effect execution means is controlled under an advantageous condition Different special effects can be performed according to the number of establishments (for example, the number of times the jackpot gaming state is controlled, the number of times the jackpot type “big hit” or the like is made to enter the chance time of variant 1). As a result, the special effects do not become monotonous and the interest can be improved.

  A termination condition for ending the count of the number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition (for example, that the time saving state ends and the normal state is controlled, etc., without the variable display result being "big hit" during time reduction control) is satisfied If there is not, it may further include establishment number notification means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 for executing a continuation chan notification effect, etc.) that notifies the counted number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition (for example, the number of consecutive chances etc.). Thus, the number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition can be associated with the special effect, and the player can be made aware of the number of times of establishment of the advantageous condition.

  The special effect execution means responds to the fact that the number of times of establishment of a particular advantageous condition (for example, the number of times the big hit type is controlled to the big hit gaming state of “second big hit” among the advantageous conditions has reached a specific number) It may be possible to execute a special effect of a specific aspect (for example, an effect during battle with an enemy character of Lass Boss (black), etc.). This makes it possible for the player to have a sense of expectation for the establishment of a specific advantageous condition.

  You may further provide the alerting | reporting means (for example, CPU120 grade for effect control etc. which perform boss | announced notice production etc.) which alert | reports that special production is performed. This makes it possible to recognize in advance that the special rendering is to be performed.

  Information on variable display of first special identification information (for example, first special symbol etc.) is stored as first pending storage information, and information on variable display of second special identification information (for example second special symbol) is second Hold storage means (for example, first special view hold storage unit, second special view hold storage unit, etc.) to be stored as hold storage information, variable display of first special identification information and variable display of second special identification information If it is possible and both the first pending storage information and the second pending storage information are stored in the pending storage means, priority is given to the variable display of the second special identification information corresponding to the second pending storage information. Variable display means (for example, the special drawing game using the second special drawing is started prior to the special drawing game using the first special drawing, etc.) and the ordinary identification information ( For example, a predetermined display result in the variable display of a normal symbol etc.) For example, in response to the fact that the general display is derived and displayed, the start condition of the variable display of the second special identification information by the variable display means is not satisfied or not satisfied from the first state where the condition is not satisfied. The variable means (for example, a normal variable winning ball device etc.) which easily changes to the second state, and the period during which the variable display of the first special identification information is executed by the variable display means as an advantageous state (for example, State control means (for example, high base state etc.) to control the state (for example, high base state etc.) in which the ratio of changing the variable means to the second state is made higher than the predetermined state. , CPU 103 and the like) and predetermined effect execution means (for example, effect control CPU 120 etc.) capable of executing predetermined effects, and the state control means is a variable table of the second special identification information by the variable display means. It is possible to control to an advantageous state even when an advantageous condition is established corresponding to (for example, in the modification 1, a big hit C, a big hit D, a big hit E that the executed big hit game is based on the variable display of the second special view). The predetermined effect execution means is a predetermined effect according to whether or not the first hold storage information is stored in the hold storage means when controlled to an advantageous state) (For example, as shown in FIG. 39, the effect mode of the big hit end effect differs depending on the presence or absence of the first special view reservation memory at the end of the big hit game, etc.). This makes it possible to focus attention on whether or not the second hold storage information is stored within a period corresponding to the variable display of the first special identification information, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  When it is determined that the special effect execution means newly establishes an advantageous condition in the special effect execution period (for example, a special figure game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control is “big hit” Depending on the timing of the decision in the execution period, etc., the mode of the special effect after the decision may be made different (for example, a period during which the battle effect with the enemy character of the boss is executed) In the early stage of, when the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control becomes a "big hit" is stored on hold, the effect of the aspect in which the character of the own character becomes advantageous is frequent As a result, the effect is executed in such a manner that the player character wins, giving the player an impression that the player character wins well, and the boss character In a late stage of the period during which the battle effect with TA is executed, the state of the own character is stored if the special view game in which the variable display result of the variable display that can be executed during the probability change control is "big hit" is stored. As a result of the rendering of the aspect in which the player is at a disadvantage is executed frequently, the rendering of the aspect in which the player character wins is executed, giving the player an impression that the player character struggles and wins. etc). This makes it possible to improve the interest.
