  Note that the positions and the number of members and devices provided in the gaming machine frame 2 can be appropriately changed as long as the game is not disturbed.

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

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

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

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

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

  The electric chew 12D includes an operable electric chew opening / closing member 12k. The electric chewing opening and closing member 12k is formed of a substantially horizontally long rectangular tongue-like piece that descends downward and to the left in a plan view. The top left end of the top surface of the electric chewing opening / closing member 12k is located to the right of the lowermost point of the second starting opening 12 in plan view. The electric chew opening / closing member 12k is usually stored behind the gaming board 1 (in the normal state) so that its tip (front side) is located near the game area 6, ie, the front of the game board 1. The electric chew opening / closing member 12k can move (advance / retract) in the front-rear direction from the stored state. Then, in the special state, the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k moves forward. When the electric chute opening and closing member 12 k moves forward, the electric chute opening and closing member 12 k becomes a path for guiding to the second starting port 12. Therefore, in the normal state in which the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k is stored behind the gaming area 6, there is no route to guide this, so it is almost impossible to enter the gaming ball into the second starting opening 12.

  Thus, the fact that the electric chew opening / closing member 12k is in the projecting state is also referred to as the "open state" of the second starting opening 12 or the electric chow 12D, and the game ball is inserted into the second starting opening 12 only when it is open. A sphere becomes possible. On the other hand, the state in which the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k is housed inside the second starting opening 12 is also referred to as the "closed state" of the second starting opening 12 or the electric chewing 12D. Thus, the second start port 12 is opened and closed by the operation of the electric chewing opening and closing member 12k. In addition, the fact that the second start opening 12 or the electric chow 12D is in the "open state" may also be referred to as "the electric chow 12D is open", and that the electric chow 12D is in the "closed state" is the "electric chew 12D is closed." It is also called.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  On the other hand, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is allowed to pass (enter) the specific area 16 of the gaming ball in the second state (pass allowed state: swinging in front view of FIG. 4B) The left end of the dividing member 16k is located slightly to the left of the right end of the specific area 16, and the distributing member 16k does not cover the specific area 16 directly above it, and is directly open on the specific area 16). When the distributing member 16k is in the second state, the gaming ball having won the second large winning opening 15 can easily pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second large winning opening sensor 15a. The route of the gaming ball flowing from the second large winning opening 15 to the specific area 16 is referred to as a second route.

  In addition, basically, the distribution member 16k is held in the first state. That is, it can be said that the first state is the normal state of the distribution member 16k. Then, only in the last round game (16R) of the jackpot game described later, the distribution solenoid 16s can be energized to change to the second state.

  In the specific area 16 and the nonspecific area 17, a specific area sensor 16a and a nonspecific area sensor 17a are provided which detect the gaming balls having passed (entered) the respective areas 16 and 17 and allow the gaming balls to pass downward. .

  Note that it is possible to provide only one of the first big prize device 14D and the second big prize device 15D within a range that does not interfere with the game.

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

  By the way, the game area 6 where the game balls can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side from the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right. The operation mode of the handle 82k that causes the game balls to fire so that the game balls flow down the left game area is referred to as "left strike". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 82k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is referred to as "right-handed". In pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the game ball is thrown by hitting the left, the channel where the game ball can flow down is called the first channel R1, and when the game ball is fired by hitting the game ball, the game ball flows down. A possible flow path is called a second flow path R2. The first flow passage R1 and the second flow passage R2 are also configured by a large number of playing nails and the like.

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

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

  In addition, indicators 8 are disposed on the lower left of the game area 6 formed on the front of the game board 1 (a part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 5, a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, a special figure 2 indicator 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and a common figure are variably displayed on the display 8 A common picture display 82 is included. In addition, special figure 1 reserve indicator 83a which displays special figure 1 reserve number which it mentions later (U1: the number where variable indication of special figure 1 with special figure 1 indicator 81a is reserve) which it mentions later, And, a special figure 2 reserve display 83b is included which displays the special figure 2 reserve number (U2: the number of the special view 2 variable display being reserve by the special figure 2 display 81b) which will be described later.

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

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

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

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

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering) of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, various random numbers (numerical information) for performing special drawing lottery etc. are acquired There is a thing. The various random numbers are temporarily stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 (see FIG. 7) as the special view reserve. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers”, and the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 12 The various random numbers acquired by (entering) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers".

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

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

Clash Determination Clash determination is determination to determine whether or not a match is made (whether or not an auxiliary game is to be performed) using a clash determination table as shown in FIG. 10A. The hit determination table can be associated with the gaming state described later. That is, the collision determination table includes a collision determination table (non-time reduction collision determination table) used in the non-short time state and a collision determination table (time reduction collision determination table) used in the time reduction state. In each hit determination table, the determination value (normal symbol random number value) of the normal symbol random number is distributed to the hit and the loss which is the result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table, and makes a hit determination whether it is a hit or a loss. Then, based on the result of the collision determination, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination for performing variable display of the common drawing is performed. Basically, when the result of the hit determination is a hit, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in a variable display of a common figure. On the other hand, when the result of the hit determination is a loss, basically, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the common drawing. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the win.

3-1-2. The common drawing fluctuation common pattern fluctuation pattern determination is a judgment for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern using the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table as shown in FIG. 10 (B). The common drawing fluctuation pattern is identification information on predetermined matters concerning variable display of common drawing such as common drawing fluctuation time.

  The common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table, a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table (non-short time common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table used in the time-short state There is a time-shortened chart fluctuation pattern determination table).

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

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

  The elements constituting the auxiliary game (auxiliary game elements), that is, the various elements such as the number of times the electric chew 12D opens and the opening time for each opening are included. And each of these elements is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls an auxiliary game using an auxiliary game control table as shown in FIG. 10 (C) based on the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). The auxiliary game control table is associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). Auxiliary game components are stored in each of the auxiliary game control tables. Further, the number of times of opening and the opening time of each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the open time of the electric chow 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-time-shortened state and the auxiliary game in the time-shortened state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-short time state, the electric chew 12D is opened only for the first opening time (a time (for example, 0.08 seconds) in which it is difficult to win the gaming ball in the electric chew 12D). In addition, below, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in a non-time saving state is also called "a short opening auxiliary | assistant game." In addition, in the auxiliary game in the time saving state, the electric Chu 12D only for a second opening time (a time (for example, 3.00 seconds) in which it is easy to win the gaming ball in the electric Chu 12D) longer than the first opening time. Open. In addition, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in time-saving state is also called "a long open | release auxiliary | assistant game" below.

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

  Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 performs a special figure 2 lottery when the launched gaming ball wins the second starting opening 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs variable display of the special figure 2 (display of change and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 2 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a jackpot and a loss in the result of the special figure 2 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

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

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special drawing relationship random number by the establishment of the start condition when performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, big hit game, setting of gaming state), Perform various judgments on random numbers. As shown in FIG. 9B, there are special symbol random numbers, jackpot symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special pattern variation pattern random numbers as the special symbol relationship random numbers to be acquired. The special symbol random number is a random number (judgment information) for judging the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number (judgment information) for making a jackpot symbol type determination. The reach random number is a random number (determination information) for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number (determination information) for performing the variation pattern determination of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-2-1. Jackpot Determination The jackpot determination is a determination to determine whether or not a jackpot (whether a jackpot game is to be executed) using a jackpot determination table as shown in FIG. 11A. The jackpot determination table is associated with the gaming state, specifically, whether it is a normal probability state or a high probability state. That is, the jackpot judgment table includes a jackpot judgment table (normal jackpot judgment table) used in the normal probability state and a jackpot judgment table (high probability jackpot judgment table) used in the high probability state.

  In each jackpot determination table, the judgment value (special symbol random number value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot which is the result of the jackpot determination and the loss. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 11A, the special symbol random number judgment value in which the jackpot judgment table for high probability is judged to be a jackpot is set more than the jackpot judgment table for normal probability. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the jackpot.

3-2-2. Big hit symbol type judgment If the result of the big hit judgment is a big hit, the big hit symbol type judgment determines the type (big hit symbol type) of the big hit symbol using the big hit symbol type judgment table as shown in FIG. 11 (B) It is a judgment for For each jackpot symbol type, it is possible to associate jackpot components composed of the contents of the jackpot, in other words, the game benefits provided to the player, and the like.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is a type of special symbol that is variably displayed (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the winnings caused by the jackpot symbol type determination (which caused the jackpot symbol type determination) It is associated with the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12). That is, in the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type judgment table (first jackpot symbol type judgment table) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot used when performing variable display of the special figure 2 There is a symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

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

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

3-2-3. Reach determination reach determination determines whether or not reach is to be generated in a special figure fluctuation effect described later using a reach determination table as shown in FIG. 11C when the result of the big hit determination is a loss It is a judgment for

  The reach determination table can be associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). That is, in the reach determination table, there are a reach determination table (non-short time reach determination table) used when the non-time-short state is present and a reach determination table (time-short reach determination table) used when the time short state.

  In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination values (reach random numbers) are distributed to the reach determination results “reach (generate reach)” and “no reach (do not generate reach)”. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether or not the reach should be generated. That is, "reach" or "no reach" is determined. As shown in FIG. 11C, it is possible to make the number of reach random numbers determined to be “reached (to generate reach)” different between the non-time-shortening reach determination table and the time-shortening reach determination table. It is. In the following, the result of the big hit judgment is "loss" and the result of the reach judgment is "reach (to generate reach)" is called "reach with loss" and the result of the big hit judgment is "loss" And, there are also cases where the result of the reach determination is "no reach (does not cause reach)" as "no reach missing".

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment is the fluctuation pattern judgment table (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) of the special symbol as shown in Figure 12-Figure 13 when the result of jackpot judgment is either big hit and loss It is the judgment for determining the fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern) of the variable display of a special figure using. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time, the flow of the special figure fluctuation effect to be described later (content of the effect), and the like. In addition, it is possible to include identification information on the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination, in addition to the special map change time and the special process change flow and the effect flow (effect contents of the special view change effect). As the special figure fluctuation pattern, it is possible to use a plurality of kinds of special figure fluctuation patterns each having different identification information, and the number thereof can be appropriately changed.

  The special figure fluctuation pattern determination table is the type of special symbol that performs variable display to be determined (special figure 1 / special figure 2), in other words, the starting opening where the winning due to the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed It is possible to associate with the type (first start port 11 / second start port 12). That is, in the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 There is a special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 13) used when performing.

  And each special figure fluctuation pattern decision table, it is possible to associate also game state (non time saving state / time saving state). That is, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table includes the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table (non-time minor special pattern 1 variation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and the special figure 1 used in the time-short state There is a variation pattern determination table (time chart for special figure 1 variation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is also used similarly to the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table (time chart for special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table).

  Further, each special figure fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state) can be further associated with the jackpot determination result and the reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the non-time-shorting special figure 2 variation pattern determination table respectively have one for big hit, one for reach lost, and one for no reach loss. Similarly, in the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-shorting special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table, there are one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss can be associated with the number of special figure reservations. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach without loss used when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 0-2 and when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 3-4. There is a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for a non-reach loss. In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss is also associated with the number of special figure reservations. Specifically, when the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 0 to 2, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach-less loss used and the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 3 to 4 There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table for no reach loss used for

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

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

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the table | surface of FIG. 12-FIG. 13 about a special figure fluctuation pattern, relating it to the special figure (big hit judgment result) and the special contents of special figure fluctuation production etc. is there. For example, the special figure fluctuation pattern relating to the jackpot is referred to as "jackpot fluctuation (SP jackpot fluctuation A, SP jackpot fluctuation B, L jackpot fluctuation, N jackpot fluctuation)". On the other hand, in the presence of a loss there is a special pattern fluctuation pattern in which an SP reach, which is a kind of reach, is performed, "SP loss fluctuation (SP loss fluctuation A, SP loss fluctuation B)", in a reach failure loss Of the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which L reach which is a kind of reach is performed is "L lost fluctuation", in the presence of reach, it is a special figure fluctuation pattern where special figure fluctuation effect ends in N reach which is a kind of reach “N loss fluctuation” and the special figure fluctuation pattern relating to no reach loss are called “normal loss fluctuation (normal loss fluctuation A, normal loss fluctuation B)”.

3-2-5. Pre-reading Determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using a pre-reading determination table as shown in FIG. 14 based on the acquired special-image-related random numbers. For the pre-reading determination, for example, it is determined whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be the big hit in the big hit determination, the big hit symbol type random number is the determination of which big hit symbol type is determined in the big hit symbol type determination, For example, there is a determination as to which special drawing fluctuation pattern is determined as the special drawing fluctuation pattern determination. The pre-read determination table can be associated with the type (first start port 11 / second start port 12) of the starting opening related to the starting winning combination. That is, in the prefetch determination table, a prefetch determination table (first prefetch determination table) when winning at the first starting port 11 and a prefetch determination table (second prefetch determination table) when winning at the second starting port 12 There is.

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

  That is, in the prefetch determination table, a first prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state, a first prefetch determination table used in the time-short state, and a second prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state And a second lookahead determination table used in the time saving state. In addition, what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination can be changed as appropriate.

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

  The elements constituting such a big hit game (big hit game components) include the number of round games, the number of opening of the big winning opening (first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15) in each round game, Type and opening time (opening pattern) of big winning opening where each opening is done, time to close until next opening (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. are included. There is. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using the jackpot game control table as shown in FIG. 15 after the stop display of the special view. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more jackpot games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15, a round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds from 1R to 15R, or the first large winning opening 14 for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. Then, in the 16R (final round), the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, or the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 0.1 seconds a line It will be. In each round game, when the predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the large winning opening sensors 14a and 15a, it is before the maximum opening time of the large winning openings 14 and 15 elapses. Even end the round game.

  In addition, the number and time of each element can be changed as appropriate. It is also possible to play the jackpot game using both the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 or only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. The specific area 16 is in the closed state where it is impossible to win and the open state where it is possible to win by the distribution member 16k, so the operation mode of the distribution member 16k can be said as the open / close mode of the specific area 16. In the following, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as "opening / closing mode of the specific area 16". Thus, although the distributing member 16k is controlled in a fixed operating mode (the specific area 16 is a fixed opening and closing mode), a fixed operating mode of the distributing member 16k (a fixed opening and closing mode of the specific area 16); In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (easiness) of entering the gaming ball into the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. In the following, the fact that the specific area 16 is in the open state is also referred to as "V open".

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big winning opening, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 4A). Therefore, in the round game in which the second big winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second big winning opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15, and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and Because of the relationship with timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). Thus, for the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member with the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that facilitates the passage (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") of the specific area 16 of the gaming ball during the jackpot game. The VAT opening and closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate with a jackpot game in which the 15k and the distributing member 16k operate, and a second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is impossible or difficult. It is possible to perform a jackpot game. Thus, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as "V long jackpot". On the other hand, a jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is referred to as "V short jackpot".

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, as shown in FIG. 16, "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state", "high probability high base gaming state" and " It is possible to make it into any game state of "the jackpot game state". As a state constituting the gaming state, there are a state relating to the probability of being judged as a "big hit" in the big hit determination, and a state relating to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time-short state and a time-short state.

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

  The non-time saving state is set in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "high probability low base gaming state" or the "big hit gaming state". The time saving state is set in the "low probability high base gaming state" or "high probability high base gaming state", and the gaming state in which the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than the non time saving state. It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.0 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric tube 12D in the non-short state. Also, in the time saving state, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed using the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table that is selected such that the selection of the special figure fluctuation pattern with a short special figure fluctuation time is greater than in the non-short time state. It is also possible to do it (see FIGS. 12 to 13). As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of the special figure reserve is increased, and a valid winning to the starting opening (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reserve) is easily generated. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

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

  In addition, the time saving state is more likely to be determined as a hit in the hit determination than in the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, the hit is determined with a probability (eg, 59936/65536) higher than the probability (eg, 6600/65536) determined to be a hit in the non-time short state. Therefore, the number of times it is determined that a hit per unit time is likely to be greater in the time saving state than in the non-time saving state.

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

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

  In the time saving state, compared to the non-time saving state, it is easy to win a hit, the spread map fluctuation time is easily shortened, and the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be long. That is, although it is set to the player in an advantageous manner in three points regarding the game according to the common drawing, the points set to the player in an advantageous manner may be a part of these.

  The gaming state after the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time is the "low probability low base gaming state" in which the normal probability state and the non-short time state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as "normal gaming state". Further, in the "big hit gaming state", since the hit determination is performed but the big hit determination is not performed, the non-short time state is set along with the start of the big hit game. Further, with regard to the gaming state, it is possible to use all or only a part of the gaming states described above.

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

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

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure fluctuation effects are performed in "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state" and "high probability high base gaming state" This is an effect mode that can be set when there is no, and in a standby state in which the special image variation effect is not performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, a customer waiting demonstration moving image G100 for introducing a pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the hemispherical button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 17B, the setting screen G101 for setting for the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed. Is displayed. The setting relating to the effect includes volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, luminance setting of the display unit 50a, frequency setting of the effect to be executed, and the like.

  The normal effect mode can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is being performed in the "low probability low base gaming state" or the "high probability low base gaming state", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a non-time-saving state is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 18A, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a; As shown in FIG. 18 (C), a second normal rendering mode in which a background image representing a view of a mountain in the evening (a background image G103 for the ordinary day in the evening) is displayed on the display 50a as shown in FIG. 18 (B). There is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (Night normal background image G104) representing a nighttime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the player can not win a jackpot once or a plurality of times. It is switched as one condition that special figure change production is performed. Furthermore, in each of the first to third normal rendering modes, there are a normal front stage rendering mode before reaching reach and a normal rear stage rendering mode after reaching reach in the special figure fluctuation presentation. In the normal front effect mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103 and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the normal rear effect mode, the type is reach. A dedicated background image is displayed. Also, a special effect mode may be provided which is set only in the "high probability low base gaming state".

  The probability change effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure change effect is performed in the “high probability and high base gaming state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the state is a high probability state and a short time state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 18D, a background image (a probability variation background image G105) representing a space is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, in the special variation variation production mode, there are a second variation production mode before the reach is established and a second variation production mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation presentation. In the first stage effect mode, the display unit 50a displays the background image G105 for a variation, but in the second stage effect mode, a background image dedicated to the type of reach is displayed.

  The time reduction effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "low probability high base game probability", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a normal probability state and a time reduction state. In the time-saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 18E, a background image (time-saving background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, in the time reduction rendering mode, there are a time reduction preceding rendering mode before reaching reach and a time shortening later rendering mode after reaching. In the short front-side effect mode, the time-shortening background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a. However, in the time-short rear-side effect mode, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being performed in the "jackpot game state", and is an effect mode that indicates that the jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 19A, in the display unit 50a, an opening image G107 indicating the start of the jackpot game and a right-handed image prompting “right-handed” A jackpot opening effect in which G108 is displayed is performed. During the rounds in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 19B, the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls paid out. Round production is performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the display unit 50a, the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number indicating the total prize balls paid out A jackpot ending effect in which a winning ball number image G112 is displayed is performed.

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

  In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production, in addition to the fluctuation display of production design, image display 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, movable device 55, 56, 57, 58, hemispherical button 40, sword type button It is possible to perform rendering using various rendering devices such as 41.

4-2-1. In the display portion 50a of the image display device 50, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), the left effect, the center, and the right side are obtained by dividing the display portion 50a into three substantially in the horizontal direction. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect pattern area 50b2 and a right effect pattern area 50b3. The left effect pattern area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect pattern EZ1 at the time of the stop display of the effect pattern in the special figure variation effect. Similarly, the middle effect pattern area 50b2 and the right effect pattern area 50b3 are areas for displaying the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 20 (A), it is possible to provide the small symbol area | region 50c in one division of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end part of the display part 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the variable display of the special figure is performed.

  In FIG. 20 (A), left production symbol area 50b1, middle production symbol area 50b2, right production symbol area 50b3 and small symbol area 50c are shown by broken lines, but this is left production symbol area 50b1 and middle production It is described to represent the range of the symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3 and the small symbol area 50c, and is not actually displayed.

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

  When the variable display of the special drawing is started, the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started on the display unit 50a. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the special view is waiting for variable display. Along with the start of the variable display, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started. In addition to the variable display of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3, the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 is also started (see FIG. 20 (B)).

  If the special view fluctuation pattern of the special view variable display is a special view fluctuation pattern of a no reach loss (for example, normal loss fluctuation), the reach of the special view change display is terminated (stop the special view stop) In accordance with the display), the stop display of the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed with a missing eye (a so-called "barache eye") specific to a no reach loss. For example, first, as shown in FIG. 20 (C), the left effect design EZ1 temporarily stops at a substantially central position in the vertical direction toward the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and then FIG. 20 (D) As shown in FIG. 20, the right effect pattern EZ3 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction, and further, as shown in FIG. 20E, the intermediate effect pattern EZ2 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction. Then, finally, as shown in FIG. 20 (F), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 temporarily stopped in a state of being arranged horizontally in the vertical direction substantially at the center position, are completely stopped all at once as they are. , The stop is decided (stop display of the effect pattern EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, EZ3 is performed). The three small symbols KZ1, KZ2 and KZ3 are displayed when the temporary stopped design symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are completely stopped at the loose end, that is, when the stop display of the design symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is performed, It stops at the same time as the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 at the same time, and stop display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is also performed.

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

  In addition, in the case of the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure being the special figure fluctuation pattern of the loss with reach (for example, the N loss fluctuation), for example, as shown in FIG. The left effect pattern EZ1 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction, and then, as shown in FIG. 21D, the right effect pattern EZ3 consisting of the same numeral "5" is horizontally at the substantially central position in the vertical direction It stops temporarily and becomes reach (reach occurs or is established). In the present embodiment, the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 is continuously performed even if the reach is established with the left production symbol EZ1 and the right production symbol EZ3.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Here, the possibility that the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach may be stopped in a manner showing a big hit (big hit expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the lottery result of the special drawing lottery. For example, if the execution probability of N reach is 10% if the lottery result of the special drawing lottery is "loss", and 100% if the drawing result of the special drawing lottery is "big hit", the SP reach is Assuming that the execution probability is 4% when the lottery result of the special drawing lottery is "loss" and 100% when the drawing result of the special drawing lottery is "big hit", the jackpot expectation degree of the SP reach is, It is possible to set higher than the jackpot expectation degree of N reach. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is 2% when the lottery result of the special drawing lottery is "loss", and the drawing result of the special drawing lottery Is 20% in the case of “big hit”, the execution probability of SP reach B is 2% when the drawing result of the special drawing lottery is “loss”, and the drawing result of the special drawing drawing is “big hitting” In the case of 30%, it is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach B higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach A. As described above, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the drawing result of the special drawing lottery.

4-3. Hold Icon Display Area As shown in FIG. 28A, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 can be provided with a hold icon display area 50d consisting of four display areas. The reserved icon display area 50d is composed of a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3 and a fourth display area 50d4. It is possible to display the hold icon HA in the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3 and 50d4. For example, when the special drawing 1 holding number is "1", the holding icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special drawing 1 holding number is "2", the first display area 50d1 and the first display area 50d1 are displayed. The hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 28A, it is possible to provide the icon display area 50e consisting of one display area in the vicinity of the reserved icon display area 50d. The icon display area 50e can display the icon TA, which is the same as or different from the hold icon HA, in response to the start of the special figure change effect.

  The number of display areas constituting the reserved icon display area 50d can be changed as appropriate. In addition, it is also possible to set the reserved icon display area 50d as a display area for displaying both the number of special views 1 suspension and the number of special views 2 suspension, or as a display area for displaying only one of them.

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

  For example, when the special figure 1 reservation number is “0” and the gaming ball wins the first starting opening 11, the special figure fluctuation effect is started, as shown in FIG. 28 (B), in the icon display area 50e. The icon TA is displayed. Then, when two more game balls win the first starting hole 11 during the special figure fluctuation effect, as shown in FIG. 28C, the first display area 50d1 and the second display area of the reserved icon display area 50d are displayed. A reserve icon HA is displayed at 50d2, and the player is notified that the special view 1 reserve number is "2". After that, when the special figure fluctuation production ends and a new special figure fluctuation production is started, as shown in FIG. 28D, the holding icon displayed in the first display area 50d1 of the holding icon display area 50d The HA is moved to the icon display area 50e and displayed as the icon TA, and the hold icon HA displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the hold icon display area 50d is moved to the first display area 50d1 and displayed. The player is notified that the special drawing 1 holding number is “1”.

4-4. Notice Production The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform notice production at any timing during the special figure variation production. The notice effect is an effect using the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58, the input devices 40, 41, etc. It is possible to suggest the result of fluctuation pattern determination.

4-4-1. Movable-body production The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform movable-body production using movable devices 55, 56, 57, and 58 as advance announcement effects. The movable body effect is an effect of operating the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58, and can suggest in advance a development to an effect (for example, SP reach) to be performed thereafter.

  For example, when the result of the special view fluctuation pattern determination is SP jackpot fluctuation or SP lost fluctuation, when developing from N reach to SP reach, first, the front movable device 55 is moved as shown in FIG. 23 (A). In operation, the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk, and the lower front movable body 55Dk combine to cover the main character of the normal state (human) displayed on the display unit 50a.

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

  At this time, the rear upper light emitting device 54Ua and the rear upper light emitting device 54Ub provided on the rear upper movable body 56Uk, and the rear lower light emission device 54Da provided on the rear rear lower movable body 56Dk and the rear The bottom light emitting device 54Db emits white light. Therefore, the front upper left movable body 55ULk and the front upper upper right movable body 55URk disposed on the front of the rear upper movable body 56Uk and the front lower movable body 55Dk disposed on the front of the rear rear lower movable body 56Dk It glows white (see FIG. 23 (B)). As a result, it is possible to emphasize to the player that the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper movable body 55URk, and the lower front movable body 55Dk are united and integrated.

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

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23D, the front movable device 55 operates again, and the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk, and the front lower lower movable body 55Dk merge. It covers the upper back movable body 56Uk and the lower back movable body 56Dk which are united and integrated, and as shown in FIG. 23 (E) to FIG. 23 (F), the front movable unit 55 and the rear control unit 56 And develop into the SP reach back to the normal standby state (initial position). This movable body effect is an example of the development effect.

  In addition, about movable body production, it is not restricted to the development suggestion to SP reach, and it is possible to change or add suitably. Further, the operation content of the movable device in the movable body effect can be appropriately changed or added. In addition, when the effect does not develop (for example, in the case of N reach loss fluctuation), it is also possible to perform movable object effect as so-called "gasse effect".

4-4-2. Operation presentation The pachinko game machine PY1 includes, as advance notice, an operation presentation including an operation promotion presentation using the hemispherical button 40 and the sword button 41 and an operation result presentation according to the operation of the hemispherical button 40 and the sword button 41. It is possible to do. The operation effect is an effect in which the player operates the hemispherical button 40 or the sword-shaped button 41, and it can be suggested that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 stop in a mode showing a big hit.

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

  Thereafter, when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit", after the sword-shaped button 41 is depressed in the sword-shaped button operation effective period, or the sword-shaped button 41 is operated in the sword-shaped button operation effective period. As shown in FIG. 26C, the front movable device 55 is activated before the variable display of the special drawing ends after the remaining time of the operation effective period disappears, and the front left upper left The movable body 55ULk, the upper front upper right movable body 55URk, and the lower front lower movable body 55Dk combine, and the rear lower movable body 56 operates to combine the upper rear movable body 56Uk and the lower rear lower movable body 56Dk into one body Operation result presentation (big hit suggestion presentation) is performed. On the other hand, when the result of the jackpot determination is "loss", even if the sword-shaped button 41 is pressed during the sword-shaped button operation effective period, or the sword button 41 is not pressed, the effect button Even if the remaining time of the operation effective period is exhausted, before the variable display of the special view ends, the operation result presentation (loss suggestion effect) in which the front movable device 55 and the rear movable device 56 do not operate is performed.

  The operation result effect is not limited to the operation of the front movable device 55 and the rear movable device 56, and can be appropriately changed or added. Further, when the result of the jackpot determination is "loss", it is also possible to perform the same operation result presentation as the case of the result of the jackpot determination "big hit" as "gasse effect".

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

  For example, when the result of the pre-reading determination for the special figure 1 suspension is "big hit", as shown in FIG. 28A, the suspension icon HA normally displayed as "o" in the suspension icon display area 50d is "☆" Display with.

  The pre-reading effect can be performed on at least one of the special view 1 suspension and the special view 2 suspension. Further, the present invention is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, and can be appropriately changed or added. Moreover, when the result of the pre-reading determination is "loss", it is also possible to perform the same pre-reading effect as in the case of the "big hit" as the result of the pre-reading determination as "gasse effect".

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

[1. Main control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the gaming control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads out and executes the program of the main control main processing shown in FIG. 29 from the gaming ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, permission setting for access to the game RAM 104, setting of the game CPU 102, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), and the like are performed.

  Next to the power-on process, the interrupt is inhibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B are incremented by one and updated. When the upper limit value is reached, the counter value of each random number is returned to "0" and added again. The initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than “0”, or may be randomly changed. Also, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called "hardware random number" generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is finished, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, execution of the main timer interrupt process (S005) is possible.

A counter, a timer, a flag, a buffer, and the like appearing in the following description of control of effects by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out the program of the sub control main processing shown in FIG. 31 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it. As shown in the figure, in the sub control main process, first, a power on process according to the power on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the effect CPU 122, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

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

  When the random number seed update process is completed, the command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 which has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (performs various effects by the image). Further, the sub control board 120 causes the speaker 52 to output sound (performs various effects by sound) through the sound control circuit 161, along with various effects performed by the image control board 140, and a lamp control circuit 151 makes the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 emit light (performs various effects by light emission), operates the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58 (performs various effects by operation) ).

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

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

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

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit operable by the player such as the hemispherical button detection switch 40a or the sword button detection switch 41a is detected. In the light emission data output process, the light emission data is set to cause the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 to emit light at a timing or the like that matches the effect by the image based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process described later. It outputs to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process, drive data for performing movable body effect to operate the operating devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58 at a predetermined timing. Output That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs movable body effect to operate the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58, etc. in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In watchdog timer processing, reset setting of the watchdog timer is performed.

[3.10 ms timer interrupt processing]
The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4012) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of 10 msec cycle is input to the sub control board 120. In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4012), received command analysis process (S4201), effect timer update process (S4202), voice control process (S4203), effect data creation process (S4204), image effect start process (S4205), effect The mode setting process (S4206) is sequentially performed.

  In the reception command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 by the reception interrupt process (S4010) is analyzed, and a process (for example, selection of an effect, setting of a command, etc.) is performed. In the effect timer update process, the timer for measuring the time concerning each effect is updated. In the voice control process, creation of voice data (data for controlling the output of voice from the speaker 52) and output to the voice control circuit 161 are performed based on the processing result of the reception command analysis process. In the effect data creation process, the effect data is created based on the processing result of the reception command analysis process. In the image effect start process, the image data is transmitted to the image control board 140 in order to display the effect image on the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50 based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process. That is, the image control board 140 controls the display of the effect image based on the image data. In the effect mode setting process, the effect mode is set based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

7. Description of feature points of the first embodiment Hereinafter, the feature points of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment will be described in more detail. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment (first embodiment), the stock challenge effect, the stock effect, and the advance effect effect shown below can be executed while the special figure fluctuation effect described above is being executed. In addition, a notice production is a production which can suggest the possibility of becoming a big hit (that is, a special figure in change becomes a big hit design). In this embodiment, as such advance notice effects, there are movable body notice effects and effect effects described later. The stock effect is an effect that can be suggested about the execution of the advance effect and the aspect of the advance effect. In addition, the stock challenge effect is an effect that suggests that the stock effect is to be executed.

7-1. Movable Body Notice Production First, the movable body notice production in the notice production will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 and 34A. As described above, the movable body effect shown in FIG. 23 (A) to FIG. 23 (F) is executed during the execution of the special figure variation effect. In this embodiment, this movable body effect is executed as a development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect. Of the movable body effects, the effect shown in FIG. 23D is an effect capable of suggesting the jackpot expectation to the player. This effect is particularly referred to as a movable body advance effect effect (corresponding to a first effect and a first timing effect). In addition, the flow of execution of the movable body advance notice effect in the special figure fluctuation effect will be described later.

  In this movable body preview effect, the front upper left movable body 55ULk, the front upper upper right movable body 55URk, the front lower lower movable body 55Dk, the rear upper movable body 56Uk and the rear lower movable body 56Dk are used (FIG. 23) (D)). And various light emitting devices (the rear upper light emitting device 54Ua and the rear upper light emitting device 54Ub in the rear upper movable body 56Uk, and the rear lower lower light emitting device 54Da in the rear lower movable body 56Dk and the rear lower surface of the rear There are two types of light emission modes in the light emission mode using the light emitting device 54Db). That is, the light emission modes include a "red (corresponding to the first color)" light emission mode and a "blue (corresponding to the second color)" light emission mode.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot (the special figure during variation is the jackpot symbol), the “red” light emission mode is easier to be selected than the “blue” light emission mode. Specifically, as shown in the movable body advance presentation effect mode selection table of FIG. 34 (A), the light emission mode is "red" when it is a big hit, that is, when the special figure in change is a big hit symbol. The fraction is "75%". This is higher than the distribution ratio (“25%”) in which the light emission mode is “blue”. In addition, the distribution ratio in which the light emission mode is “red” when the big hit is achieved is the distribution ratio in which the light emission mode is “red” when the loss is a failure, that is, when the special figure during fluctuation is a loss pattern. It is higher than (“10%”).

  Therefore, by performing effects that cause the various light emitting devices 54Ua, 54Ub, 54Da, 54Db to emit light in the movable body advance notice effect shown in FIG. 23D, it is understood that the various movable bodies 55ULk, 55URk, 55Dk are integrated again. It can be emphasized and it is possible to capture the player's expectation to the jackpot. In addition, when the various light emitting devices 54Ua, 54Ub, 54Da, 54Db are made to emit light in "red", it is possible to suggest to the player that the jackpot expectation is higher than in the case of emitting "blue". It is possible to improve the player's expectation for

  It should be noted that the movable object notice effect to make the panel back upper point light-emitting device 54Ua, the panel back upper surface light-emitting device 54Ub, the panel back lower point light-emitting device 54Da, and the panel back lower surface light-emitting device 54Db emit light in "Red" mode It is also known as body effect (the first notice display effect, the first notice effect, equivalent to the specified notice effect), and in particular, the movable body notice effect for emitting "blue" light "blue movable body effect (second notice display effect, second It is also known as "forehead effect production)".

7-2. Effect Production Next, the effect production in the preliminary production will be described using FIG. 24 and FIG. 34 (B). As described above, during the execution of the SP reach of the special figure variation effect, the effect shown in FIG. 24C, that is, the effect using the SP reach start title image G1 is executed. In this embodiment, this effect can indicate the jackpot expectation to the player using the above-described effect image G12 of the SP reach start title image G1. This effect is referred to as an effect effect (corresponding to a first effect and a second timing effect). The flow of execution of the effect presentation in the special figure fluctuation presentation will be described later.

  There are two display modes for this effect effect. That is, the display modes include a display mode of "red (corresponding to the first color)" and a display mode of "blue (corresponding to the second color)". In the present embodiment, when the jackpot (the special figure during variation is the jackpot symbol), the "red" display mode is easier to be selected than the "blue" display mode. Specifically, as shown in the effect presentation mode selection table of FIG. 34 (B), the distribution ratio in which the display mode is “red” when the jackpot is achieved, that is, when the special figure during variation is the jackpot symbol. Is “80%”, which is higher than the distribution ratio (“20%”) in which the display mode is “blue”. In addition, the distribution ratio in which the display mode is “red” when the jackpot is achieved is the distribution ratio in which the display mode is “red” when the loss occurs, that is, when the special figure during the change becomes a lost symbol. ("5%") is higher.

  Therefore, by performing the effect of displaying the effect image G12, it is possible to get the player's expectation for the big hit. Further, when the effect image G12 is displayed in "red", it can be suggested to the player that the jackpot expectation is higher than in the case where it is displayed in "blue", and the player's expectation for the jackpot is felt. It is possible to improve.

  The effect effect of displaying the effect image G12 in "red" is also particularly referred to as "red effect effect (corresponding to the first notice display effect, the first notice effect, and the specific notice effect)", and the "blue" effect image G12 The effect effect to be displayed is particularly referred to as "blue effect effect (equivalent to second advance indication effect, second advance effect)".

7-3. Stock Challenge Production Next, stock challenge production will be described using FIGS. 35 to 39. The stock challenge production is performed during the normal movement of the special figure fluctuation production. In addition, the flow of execution of the stock challenge effect in the special figure fluctuation effect will be described later.

  The stock challenge effect causes the player to operate the sword-shaped button 41 or the hemispherical button 40 to obtain an item image G7 (see FIG. 35C) displayed in the stock effect, a player-participated effect It has become. The item image G <b> 7 is an image that suggests a mode (light emission mode, display mode) of the advance notice effect scheduled to be executed thereafter. Further, in the present embodiment, two challenges are possible in one stock challenge effect production. Therefore, up to two item images G7 can be acquired through one stock challenge presentation. The details of the item image G7 will be described later.

  In addition, stock challenge production is managed in a scenario. Specifically, using the selection tables (first scenario selection table and second scenario selection table) shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs stock challenge effects based on random numbers (stock challenge effect random numbers). The details of the presentation mode (content of presentation) are selected. With the details of the effect mode, the type of button operation promotion effect in the first and second challenges, the type of operation result effect after the button operation promotion effect, and the operation result effect of the “first operation result effect” In this case, it indicates the type (mode) of the item image G7 to be displayed (appeared) thereafter.

  In the present embodiment, the first scenario selection table and the second scenario selection table are selected depending on whether or not there is a plan to execute the movable body advance notice effect or the effect effect in the special view fluctuation effect for executing the stock challenge effect. Refer to one of the selection tables. That is, in the case where it is planned to execute the notice of both the movable body advance notice effect and the effect effect in the special view fluctuation effect, the first scenario selection table shown in FIG. 38 is referred to. When it is planned to execute only one of the notice effects (specifically, the effect effect) of the movable body advance effect and the effect effect, the second scenario selection table shown in FIG. 39 is referred to.

  In the stock challenge effect, first, as shown in FIG. 35 (A), an image G41 indicating the character string "stock challenge" is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. As a result, the player can grasp the execution start of the stock challenge effect. In addition, with the start of execution of the stock challenge effect, the display of the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3 disappears, and only the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a. (See FIG. 35A).

  Next, when the type of button operation promotion effect selected based on the selection table is a sword type button operation promotion effect, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), a sword type button for urging operation of the sword type button 41 Operation promotion presentation is performed. In the sword type button operation promotion effect, the above-described sword type button operation promotion image G3 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In addition, during execution of sword type button operation promotion presentation, the period (sword type button operation effective period) in which pressing-down operation of the sword type button 41 is effective generate | occur | produces.

  Then, if the type of the operation result effect selected based on the selection table is the first operation result effect, after the sword type button 41 is pressed in the sword type button operation valid period, or the sword type button After the remaining time of the operation effective period disappears without the sword-shaped button 41 being operated in the operation effective period, the first operation result presentation shown in FIG. 35C is performed. In the first operation result effect, as shown in FIG. 35C, an image G42 indicating the character string "success" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a, and an item image G7 (see FIG. In 35 (C), the "red" item image G7R) is displayed (appears).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35D, an image G45 indicating the character string "NEXT" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. As a result, the player can grasp that the first challenge ends and the second challenge starts.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (C) and FIG. 35 (D), the item image G7 ("red" item image G7R) is continuously displayed. In the present embodiment, the item image G7 is continuously displayed until the above-described advance notice effect (movable body advance notice effect or effect effect) is performed. That is, the execution of the stock effect is started when the item image G7 is displayed, that is, when the item image G7 appears on the display unit 50a. Then, the execution of the stock effect continues until the advance effect (movable object advance effect or effect effect) is performed. We will explain the stock production in detail later.

  On the other hand, when the type of the operation result effect selected based on the selection table is the second operation result effect, even if the sword button 41 is operated in the sword button operation valid period, the sword button 41 is also selected. Even if the remaining time of the effect button operation effective period disappears without the operation of the second operation result, the second operation result effect shown in FIG. 35 (E) is performed. In the second operation result presentation, as shown in FIG. 35E, an image G43 indicating the character string "failure" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. In addition, the item image G7 is not newly displayed (appears) on the display unit 50a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35F, an image G45 indicating the character string "NEXT" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. As a result, the player can grasp that the first challenge ends and the second challenge starts.

  The second challenge also progresses in the same flow as the first challenge shown in FIGS. 35 (B), 35 (C) and 35 (E). Therefore, the description about the case where it becomes a second challenge without acquiring the item image G7 in the first challenge is omitted.

  However, the second challenge after acquiring the item image G7 in the first challenge will be described below. When the sword type button operation promotion effect is selected as the button operation promotion effect in such a second challenge, as shown in FIG. 36A, the sword type button operation promotion effect urging the operation of the sword type button 41 is To be executed. At this time, an item image G7 ("red" item image G7R) is continuously displayed on the upper left portion of the display unit 50a.

  If the selected operation result effect is the first operation result effect, then the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 36 (B) is performed. In the first operation result effect, the image G42 indicating the character string "success" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a, and the second item image G7 (Fig. 36 (B) is displayed at the upper left of the display unit 50a. "Blue" item image G7B) is displayed (appears) to the right of the "red" item image G7R.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36C, an image G46 indicating the character string "stock challenge end" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. Thus, it is possible to notify the player that the stock challenge effect has ended.

  In addition, as shown to FIG. 36 (B) and FIG. 36 (C), "blue" item image G7B is also displayed continuously similarly to "red" item image G7R. That is, the item image G7 ("blue" item image G7B) can be displayed continuously until the notice effect (movable body advance effect or effect effect) is performed. Thus, in FIG. 36 (B) and FIG. 36 (C), two stock effects, that is, a stock effect using the item image G7 acquired in the first challenge (first stock effect (FIG. 45 (C-1 And the stock effect (the second stock effect (FIG. 45 (C-2))) using the item image G7 acquired in the second challenge are being executed in parallel. The stock production and the second stock production will be described in detail later.

  On the other hand, when the selected operation result effect is the second operation result effect, even if the sword button 41 is operated in the sword button operation valid period, the effect is performed without the sword button 41 being operated. Even if the remaining time of the button operation effective period is exhausted, the second operation result effect shown in FIG. 36 (D) is performed. In the second operation result presentation, an image G43 indicating the character string "failure" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. Then, the item image G7 is not newly displayed (appears) on the display unit 50a. Therefore, only the item image G7 (“red” item image G7R) already acquired is displayed as it is. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36E, an image G46 indicating the character string "stock challenge end" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. Thus, it is possible to notify the player that the stock challenge effect has ended.

  When the button operation promotion effect selected based on the selection table is not a sword button operation promotion effect but a hemispherical button operation promotion effect, the hemispherical button 40 shown in FIG. A hemispherical button operation promoting effect for prompting the operation is performed. In the hemispherical button operation promotion effect, the hemispherical button operation promotion image G5 is displayed on the display unit 50a (see FIG. 37A). The hemispherical button operation promotion image G5 includes an image (hemispherical button image) G51 representing the hemispherical button 40, an image (pressing operation image) G52 representing an operation mode (that is, a pressing operation) of the hemispherical button 40, and a hemisphere And an image (operation effective period remaining time image) G53 indicating the remaining time of the operation effective period (hemispherical button operation effective period) related to the operation of the mold button 40. During the execution of the hemispherical button operation promotion effect, a period in which the pressing operation of the hemispherical button 40 is effective (a hemispherical button operation effective period) occurs.

  The item image G7 displayed along with the effect of the first operation result includes a color specification item image G7C such as the “red” item image G7R or the “blue” item image G7B described above, and FIG. There is a "?" Item image GQ which does not designate a specific color. The color designation item image G7C is an item image G7 for designating a color, and suggests an aspect of the notice effect. That is, the "red" item image G7R suggests that the light emission mode of the movable body advance notice effect is "red" or that the display mode of the effect effect is "red". Further, the "blue" item image G7B suggests that the light emission mode of the movable body advance notice effect is "blue" or that the display mode of the effect effect is "blue".

  On the other hand, the “?” Item image GQ indicates that the light emission mode of the movable object preview effect is “red” or “blue”, or that the display mode of the effect effect is “red” or “blue” It suggests. That is, the “?” Item image GQ merely suggests the execution of the notice effect.

  In the present embodiment, in the stock challenge effect, when the execution of the sword button operation promotion effect is performed, the item image G7 is more easily obtained than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. Specifically, for example, as shown in the first scenario selection table of FIG. 38, in each of the first and second challenges, the distribution ratio at which the first operation result presentation is performed after the sword type button operation promotion presentation is performed. "45%". The distribution ratio is higher than the distribution ratio (“25%”) at which the first operation result presentation is performed after the hemispherical button operation promotion presentation is performed in each of the first and second challenges. Further, for example, as shown in the second scenario selection table of FIG. 39, in each of the first and second challenges, the distribution ratio at which the first operation result presentation is performed after the sword type button operation promotion presentation is performed is “33 "%". The distribution ratio is higher than the distribution ratio (“13%”) at which the first operation result presentation is performed after the hemispherical button operation promotion presentation is performed in each of the first and second challenges.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to suggest the player the possibility of executing the stock effect according to the type of the button operation promotion effect to be executed. That is, it is possible to make the player recognize that the sword button operation promotion effect is higher than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect as the effect with high possibility of stock effect. Therefore, in the stock challenge effect, the player is more likely to expect the execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. In addition, when execution of the sword-shaped button operation promotion effect is performed, the player can easily expect the execution of the first operation result effect accompanied by the display of the item image G7 after this. Therefore, it is easy for the player to pay attention to the button operation promotion effect of the stock challenge effect, and it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sword-shaped button operation promotion effect is easier to obtain the color designation item image G7C such as “red” item image G7R or “blue” item image G7B than hemispherical button operation promotion effect. It has become. Specifically, for example, as shown in the first scenario selection table of FIG. 38, an item image G7 additionally displayed after the sword type button operation promotion effect is performed in the first challenge becomes a color specification item image G7C. The fraction is "32%". The distribution ratio is higher than the distribution ratio ("13%") in which the color designation item image G7C is additionally displayed after the hemispherical button operation promotion effect is executed in the first challenge. Further, for example, in the second challenge, the distribution ratio at which the color designation item image G7C is additionally displayed after the execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect is “29%”. The distribution ratio is higher than the distribution ratio ("16%") in which the color designated item image G7C is additionally displayed after the hemispheric button operation promotion effect is performed.

  Therefore, there is a high possibility of execution of stock effects for the sword type button operation promotion effect, and if the effect is executed, the player is an effect that is easy to acquire (additionally display) the color designated item image G7C. It is possible to make Therefore, when the execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect is performed, the first operation result effect is subsequently performed, and the player can easily expect notification of the effect mode of the subsequent notice effect.

  In particular, the color designated item image G7C of the present embodiment includes two types of "red" item image G7R and "blue" item image G7B. As described above, there are two types of modes of the advance notice effects (movable body advance notice effects and effect effects), “red” and “blue”. In addition, in the case of the movable body advance notice effect and the effect effect, when the special figure is a big hit symbol, “red” is more easily selected than “blue” as the effect mode (see FIGS. 34A and 34B). ). In addition, the “red” item image G7R corresponds to the “blue” aspect of the notice effect, and the “blue” item image G7B corresponds to the “blue” aspect of the notice effect. Therefore, when the "red" item image G7R is displayed as the color specification item image G7C, the advance notice effect is executed in the "red" mode (light emission mode, display) through the "red" item image G7R. It is possible to inform the player in advance. In addition, when the "blue" item image G7B is displayed as the color designation item image G7C, it is possible to inform the player in advance that the execution of the notice effect is performed in the "blue" mode through it. There is.

  Moreover, when the "red" item image G7R is displayed as the color designation item image G7C, it is possible to show the player that the possibility of a jackpot is higher than when the "blue" item image G7B is displayed. It has become. Therefore, when the "red" item image G7R is displayed, it is possible to make the player highly expect a jackpot.

  Thus, when "red" is selected as the mode of the notice effect, the sword type button operation promotion effect is more added display (acquisition) of the color designated item image G7C than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. As a result, the "red" item image G7R can be displayed as the color specification item image G7C. That is, when the mode of at least one of the movable body advance notice effect and the effect effect is “red”, the sword type button operation promotion effect is more “color designated item image G7C” than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. "Red" item image G7R can be displayed. Thus, by executing the sword type button operation promotion effect, it is possible to make the pachinko game machine PY1 easy for the player to be aware of the possibility of a jackpot from the early stage before the execution of the preview effect rather than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. It has become.

7-4. Next, stock effect will be described with reference to FIG. 35, FIG. 36, and FIG. 40 to FIG. The stock effect is an effect of continuously displaying the item image G7 described above on the display unit 50a. As described above, the start of the stock effect is when the item image G7 is displayed (appears) on the display unit 50a by the execution of the first operation result effect of the stock challenge effect. In the present embodiment, when the item image G7 is displayed on the display unit 50a along with the execution of the first operation result presentation in the first challenge, and the item according to the execution of the first operation result presentation in the second challenge There are two start timings when the image G7 is displayed on the display unit 50a.

  In addition, the end of the stock effect is immediately before the execution of the advance effect performed in the mode suggested by the item image G7. In this embodiment, 2 immediately before the execution of the movable body preview effect performed in the development effect during the special figure change effect, and immediately before the effect effect performed in the SP reach during the special figure change effect There are two final timings.

  The stock rendition is continuously executed from one of the two start timings described above to one of the two end timings. Thus, for example, until the item image G7 ("red" item image G7R) displayed in the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 35C is immediately before the execution of the movable object advance effect shown in FIG. At the time of normal fluctuation (Fig. 40 (A)), at the time of N reach (Fig. 40 (B)), and at the time of development effect before the notice of movable body (Fig. 41 (A), Fig. 41) (B)) is displayed continuously. Further, for example, after the stock challenge effect is produced until the item image G7 (“red” item image G7R) displayed in the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 35C is immediately before the execution of the effect effect shown in FIG. During the normal change (Figure 40 (A)), the N reach time (Figure 40 (B)), the development effect (each figure in Figure 41), and the SP reach before the effect effect (Figure 42) (A) is continuously displayed over FIG. 42 (B).

  Thus, when the stock effect is performed, one of the movable object advance effect and the effect effect is performed after the execution of the stock effect. In other words, the execution of the stock presentation is committed to the execution of the preliminary presentation production thereafter. Therefore, it is possible for the player to wait for the execution of the notice effect while being excited before the execution of the notice effect.

  Further, the item image G7 displayed on the display unit 50a along with the execution of the stock effect makes it possible to suggest an aspect of the advance notice effect (movable body advance notice effect, effect effect) to be executed thereafter. That is, in the case where the item image G7 is a color designated item image G7C, it is possible to suggest an aspect of the notice effect to be executed after the stock effect by the color designated by the color designated item image G7C.

  Specifically, for example, when the “blue” item image G7B is displayed, it is emitted in “blue” in the subsequent movable body announcement effect, or displayed in “blue” in the subsequent effect presentation. Ru. Also, for example, when the “red” item image G7R is displayed, it is emitted in “red” in the subsequent movable body announcement effect, or displayed in “red” in the subsequent effect effect.

  In addition to the above “blue” item image G7B and “red” item image G7R, when “?” Item image GQ is displayed, it is set to “blue” or “red” in the subsequent movable body announcement effect. The light is emitted or displayed in “blue” or “red” in the subsequent effect presentation.

  In addition, stock effect using the "red" item image G7R is also referred to as "red indication stock effect (first indication display effect, first indication effect, equivalent indication effect)", and "blue" item image G7B is used. The stock production that has been called is also called "blue stock production". Moreover, the stock effect using the “?” Item image GQ corresponds to the first indication display effect and the second indication effect.

7-5. Next, with regard to the flow of a series of effects from the stock challenge effect to the stock effect and the advance effect (the effect effect and the movable body advance effect described above) in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment (first embodiment), Description will be made mainly with reference to FIGS. In detail, the case where the special figure fluctuation pattern (refer to Drawing 12) of special figure fluctuation production is "P01" or "P05" is explained based on Drawing 43-Drawing 45. Also, the case of “P02” or “P06”, which is different from “P01” and “P05”, is described based on FIG. In addition, according to FIGS. 43-46, stock challenge production | presentation is performed during execution of the normal fluctuation | variation of special figure fluctuation production | presentation. Further, according to FIGS. 43 to 45, the movable body advance notice effect is performed during the execution of the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect. Further, according to FIGS. 43 to 46, the effect effect is performed during the execution of the SP reach of the special figure fluctuation effect.

  The execution start time of the stock challenge effect is "time t01", the time when the item image G7 is displayed in the first challenge is "time t02", and the time when the item image G7 is displayed in the second challenge is It is assumed that "time t03" (see FIGS. 43 to 46). Further, the execution start time of the movable body advance notice effect is "time t04", and the execution start time of the effect effect is "time t05". As shown in FIG. 43 and the like, time t04 and time t05 are different from each other, and the timing of the start of the execution of the movable body advance notice effect and the timing of the start of the execution of effect effect are different from each other.

  First, based on FIG. 43, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is "P01" or "P05", and the item image G7 is displayed in the first challenge of the stock challenge effect (the item image in the second challenge A case where the stock effect is executed until the movable object advance effect is executed will be described. In such a case, after the item image G7 is displayed, the stock effect is performed until immediately before the execution of the movable body advance effect of the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect. That is, the stock effect is continuously executed over the normal fluctuation of the special image fluctuation effect → N reach → development effect. Further, according to FIG. 43F, the stock effect is continuously performed during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t04.

  At the start of execution of the stock effect, it is unclear to the player how long the stock effect lasts, and it is unclear to the player which advance effect is executed in relation to the stock effect. That is, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the advance notice of the mobile object of the development effect is performed or the effect effect of the SP reach is performed. Therefore, it is possible for the player to enjoy the stock effect while thrilling which notice effect is to be executed when the execution of the stock effect is started.

  Subsequently, based on FIG. 44, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is “P01” or “P05”, and the item image G7 is displayed in the first challenge of the stock challenge effect (the item of the second challenge is the item A case where stock effect is executed until execution of effect effect will be described. In such a case, the stock effect is performed until immediately before the execution of the effect effect of the SP reach of the special figure fluctuation effect after the item image G7 is displayed. That is, the stock effect is continuously executed over the normal fluctuation of the special image fluctuation effect → N reach → development effect → SP reach. Further, according to FIG. 44 (F), the stock effect is continuously executed during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t05.

  Also in the case shown in FIG. 44, it is unclear for the player how long the stock effect lasts when the execution of the stock effect starts, and it is unclear to the player which preview effect is executed in relation to the stock effect Are unknown to the That is, as shown in FIG. 43, it is difficult to determine whether the mobile object preview effect in the development effect is performed or whether the effect effect in the SP reach is performed as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible for the player to enjoy the stock effect while thrilling which notice effect is to be executed when the execution of the stock effect is started.

  In the case shown in FIG. 44, if the display of the item image G7 does not disappear at the time of executing the development effect (that is, if the execution of the stock effect has not ended), the execution of the effect effect during the SP reach is decided by the stock effect. It will be done. That is, after the development effect, not the L reach but the SP reach is executed, and the player can be notified that the effect effect is executed during the SP reach. Therefore, in such a case, it is possible to convince the player of the SP reach at the time of the development effect, and the player can wait for the execution of the effect effect while enhancing the expectation. It has become.

  Subsequently, based on FIG. 45, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is “P01” or “P05”, and the item image G7 is displayed in the first and second challenges of the stock challenge effect, respectively, and various notices A case where stock effect is executed until execution of effect will be described. In such a case, the stock effect (first stock effect) shown in FIG. 45 (C-1) is a display of the item image G7 in the first challenge, and then the movement of the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect It is executed until just before the performance of body preview effect. Also, in the stock effect (second stock effect) shown in FIG. 45 (C-2), the item image G7 in the second challenge is displayed, and until immediately before the execution of the SP reach effect effect of the special figure fluctuation effect. To be executed. That is, the first stock effect is continuously executed over the normal fluctuation of special figure fluctuation effect → N reach → development effect, and the second stock effect is the normal fluctuation of special figure fluctuation effect → N reach → development effect → SP It runs continuously over the reach. Further, according to FIG. 45 (F), the first stock effect is continued during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t04, and the second stock effect is continued during a period from time t03 to immediately before time t05. To be executed.

  Also in the case shown in FIG. 45, at the start of execution of the first stock effect and the second stock effect, it is unclear to the player how long each stock effect lasts, and it is unknown to the player which is associated with each stock effect. It is unclear to the player whether the effect is executed. That is, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the advance notice of the mobile effect of the development effect is performed after the first stock effect or the effect effect of the SP reach is performed. In addition, it is difficult to determine whether the movable object advance presentation effect of the development effect is executed after the second stock effect or whether the effect effect during the SP reach is executed. Therefore, when the player executes the stock effects (the first stock effect and the second stock effect) respectively, both players are excited about which notice effect is to be executed in relation to each stock effect. It is possible to enjoy stock production.

  Subsequently, based on FIG. 46, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is “P02” or “P06”, and the item image G7 is displayed in the first challenge of the stock challenge effect (the item of the second challenge is the item A case where stock effect is executed until execution of effect effect will be described. In such a case, the stock effect shown in FIG. 46C is executed until immediately before the execution of the SP reach effect effect of the special figure fluctuation effect after the display of the item image G7 in the first challenge is performed. . That is, the stock effect is continuously executed over the normal fluctuation of the special image fluctuation effect → N reach → development effect → SP reach. Also, according to FIG. 46 (F), the stock effect is continuously performed during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t05.

  Also in the case shown in FIG. 46, it is unclear to the player how long the stock effect lasts when the execution of the stock effect starts, and it is unclear to the player which advance effect is executed in relation to the stock effect. It is unknown. In other words, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the mobile object preview effect in the development effect is executed or the effect effect in the SP reach is performed. Therefore, it is possible for the player to enjoy the stock effect while thrilling which notice effect is to be executed when the execution of the stock effect is started.

  In the case shown in FIG. 46, it is possible to make the player expect that the special effects may be developed patterns (“P01” or “P05”) at the start of execution of stock effects. That is, it is possible to make the player expect a special-figure variation presentation pattern including a notice presentation effect different from the actual special-figure variation pattern, which makes it possible to improve the interest.

8. Effects of the First Embodiment As described above in detail, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to continuously execute the stock effect which is the second effect on the display unit 50a (FIG. 43) (Refer to FIG. 46), When the stock effect is executed, the player can easily notice the execution of the stock effect. In addition, it is possible to execute a first staging effect (effect performance, movable body preview effect) in association with the item image G7 of stock production. That is, for example, in the case of a red suggestive stock effect (stock effect using “red” item image G7R), the effect image G12 of effect effect is displayed in “red” after execution of the stock effect, or a movable body The various light emitting devices 54Ua, 54Ub, 54Da, 54Db of the notice effect are emitted in “red”. For example, in the case of stock effect using the "blue" item image G7B, after the execution of the stock effect, the effect image G12 of the effect effect is displayed in "blue", or various light emitting devices of movable object advance effect 54Ua, 54Ub, 54Da, 54Db are emitted in "blue". That is, the color indicated by the item image of the stock effect and the color of the effect mode of the subsequent notice effect are the same. Therefore, when the execution of various advance notice effects is performed after the execution of the stock effect, the player can enjoy the notice effects without a sense of discomfort. Thus, the player is likely to be interested in both the advance notice and the stock effect, and the interest can be improved by the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, both of the effect effect and the movable object advance effect are effects capable of suggesting the jackpot expectation. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention to various advance notice effects (effect effects and movable body advance notice effects). In addition, it is possible to inform the player in advance about the execution of such advance notice effects through the execution of stock effects. Therefore, it is possible to get the player's expectation to the jackpot before the execution of the various advance notice effects.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by executing the red suggestive stock effect (stock effect using the “red” item image G7R) which is the first suggestive display effect, a red effect effect (“red”) which is the first notice display effect is performed. It is possible to notify in advance the execution of the effect effect of displaying the effect image G12. Therefore, it is possible to improve the expectation of the player to the jackpot before the execution of the red effect effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the stock effect using the “?” Item image GQ, which is the second indication display effect, may be performed as in the case of the execution of the first indication display effect. It is possible to give the player the desire of That is, unlike the execution of the above-mentioned red suggestive stock effect and blue suggestive stock effect, it is possible to give the player a feeling of excitement until the execution of various advance effects (effect effects and movable object advance effects) is performed. ing. Therefore, it is possible to set it as the composition which provided two productions (red suggestion stock production and stock production using "?" Item image GQ) with different intention in one production (stock production), and the interest improvement Is possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the stock effect can be continuously executed, the player can easily notice the execution of the stock effect when the stock effect is executed. Also, there are times when the movable body advance notice effect is executed in association with such stock effect, and when the effect effect is executed. Therefore, the player can enjoy the executed presentation without discomfort even when the movable object advance presentation effect is executed after the execution of the stock effect or even when the effect presentation is performed. In addition, since it is difficult for the player to predict whether the effect to be executed is the movable object advance effect or the effect effect, the player can start executing the advance effect (movable object advance effect, effect effect) in relation to the stock effect. You can wait while you are excited, and it is possible to improve the interest by directing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the advance notice effect is an effect capable of suggesting the possibility of becoming a big hit (big hit game state), it is possible to attract the attention of the player to the notice effect. In addition, it is possible to inform the player in advance of the execution of such advance notice production through the execution of the stock effect, and it becomes possible to get the player's expectation to the jackpot before the execution of the advance notice effect. There is.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the red movable object effect or the red effect effect can be executed at any timing (time) of the time t04 corresponding to the first timing and the time t05 corresponding to the second timing. . Therefore, it is possible to create a pachinko game machine PY1 capable of performing a variety of effects while offering the player's sense of expectation to the jackpot before the execution of the red movable object effect or the red effect effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to notify the player in advance of the execution of the stock effect and further the execution of the advance effect through the execution of the stock challenge effect. The preliminary announcement effect is an instruction that suggests the possibility of becoming a big hit, and the player's attention is high. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the execution of the stock presentation that suggests the execution of such preliminary announcement production and also the execution of the stock challenge presentation as much as the execution of the preliminary presentation production.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an effect aspect in the stock challenge effect (that is, an effect aspect in which the sword-shaped button 41 is operated (see FIG. 35B)) or an effect aspect in which the hemispherical button 40 is operated (FIG. )), It is possible to suggest to the player the possibility (easiness of being executed) that the red movable object effect or the red effect effect is executed as the advance notice effect. That is, it is possible to inform the player in advance of the possibility of becoming a big hit before the execution of the advance notice effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the stock effect can be continuously executed, when the stock effect is executed, the player is likely to notice the execution of the stock effect. Further, since the advance notice effect can be executed in association with the stock effect, when the advance effect is executed after the execution of the stock effect, the player can enjoy the executed advance effect without discomfort. Therefore, the player can easily pay attention to a series of stock effects and advance notice effects following the execution of the stock challenge effects.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the execution of the stock effect is started, the information regarding the end time of the stock effect is not shown to the player. Therefore, it is unclear for the player that the end timing of the stock effect, and further, which notice effect execution is to be started in relation to the stock effect, and it becomes possible to stimulate the player's curiosity There is. Therefore, it is possible to attract the attention of the player from stock presentation to notice presentation.

9. Modified Example Next, a modified example (the second embodiment and other modified examples) will be described. In the description of the modification, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Of course, the configurations according to the modification may be combined appropriately. Moreover, the technical features in the first embodiment and the following modified example can be appropriately deleted if they are not described as essential in the present specification.

9-1. Description of Features of the Second Embodiment Features of the present invention in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second embodiment will be described using FIGS. 47 to 61 in addition to the above-described drawings. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second embodiment is different from the above-described first embodiment in that it suggests effects of predetermined effects (in the present embodiment, special figure fluctuation effects or SP reach in this embodiment) through stock effects.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment (the second embodiment), the stock challenge effect and the stock effect shown below can be executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect described above. In the present embodiment, it is possible that the special figure variation production and the SP reach among the special figure variation production will be a big hit (that is, the special figure during variation will be a big hit symbol) depending on the contents of the presentation to be performed. Can be suggested. That is, it is possible to indicate the possibility of becoming a big hit by the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect and the difference between the main character appearing in the SP reach. In addition, the stock effect is an effect that can be suggested with regard to the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect and the execution of at least one of the SP reach effects, and the contents of the effect of the effect. As in the first embodiment, the stock challenge effect is an effect that suggests that the above-described stock effect may be performed.

9-2. Special figure fluctuation presentation The special figure fluctuation presentation of this embodiment is explained using FIG. 12 and FIG. There are two cases in which the special figure change effect is the "SP reach" after the "N reach" and the "SP reach" without the "development effect". Specifically, for example, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when the gaming state is "non-short time state" and the special figure determination result is "big hit", "P01" (or "P51") as a special figure fluctuation pattern When is selected, the special figure fluctuation production proceeds in the production flow that becomes normal fluctuation → reach → N reach → development effect → SP reach. On the other hand, when “P02” (or “P52”) is selected, the special figure fluctuation presentation proceeds in the presentation flow in which normal fluctuation → reach → N reach → SP reach. That is, after the N reach, the transition to the SP reach (progression) is performed without executing the development effect.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, when the gaming state is “non-short time state” and the special view determination result is “loss”, “P05” (or “P55”) is selected as the special view fluctuation pattern When it is done, special figure fluctuation production advances with the production flow which becomes normal fluctuation-> reach-> N reach-> development effect-> SP reach. On the other hand, when “P06” (or “P56”) is selected, the special figure fluctuation presentation proceeds in the presentation flow of normal fluctuation → reach → N reach → SP reach. That is, as in the case of the above-mentioned "P02", the transition to the SP reach (progression) is performed without the execution of the development effect after the N reach.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot (the special figure during the fluctuation is the jackpot symbol), the direction of the effect contents that becomes the "SP reach" via the "development effect" as the special image change effect is the "development effect" It is easier to be selected than the effect contents that become "SP reach" without intervention. In detail, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, in the case of becoming a big hit, that is, when the special figure during the change becomes a big hit symbol, the contents of presentation that becomes “SP reach” via “development effect”, ie The distribution ratio of "P01" is "60%", and it is higher than the content of the effect that becomes "SP reach" without "development effect", that is, higher than the distribution ratio ("10%") of "P02" ing. That is, in the case of becoming a big hit, it is easy to be selected the contents of presentation which becomes "SP reach" through "development effect". On the other hand, in the case of a loss, the content of the effect that becomes "SP reach" via "development effect", that is, the distribution ratio of "P05" is "5%", and "SP not" via "development effect" On the contrary, it is lower than the content of the effect to be "reach", that is, the distribution ratio ("10%") of "P06". That is, in the case of a loss, it is easy to select presentation contents that become "SP reach" without intervention of "development presentation".

  Therefore, when both "development effect" and "SP reach" are executed during the special figure change rendition, it is more than the case where only "SP reach" is executed without executing the "development effect" during the special figure change rendition. Also, it is possible to suggest to the player that the jackpot expectation is high, and it is possible to improve the player's expectation for the jackpot.

9-2-1. Development Reproduction Next, the development rendition (corresponding to the first rendition and the first timing rendition) of the above-mentioned special view fluctuation rendition will be described with reference to FIG. 23, FIG. 47 and FIG. 48 (A). There are a plurality of (two) effects (a first development effect and a second development effect) having different effect contents in the development effect. The character to be used is different between these two development effects (first development effect, second development effect).

  The first development effect (corresponding to the first notice effect and the specific notice effect) is to complete the face of the main character "LOGO" in front of the display unit 50a using the movable devices 55, 56, 57 and 58 described above. It is the production of the contents of the production. Specifically, in the first development effect, when the front movable device 55 operates and the front movable bodies 55ULk, 55URk, and 55Dk merge (FIG. 23A), the rear movable device 56 operates. The rear movable bodies 56Uk and 56Dk are united between the front movable bodies 55ULk, 55URk and 55Dk and the display unit 50a (FIG. 23 (B)). Thereby, the design (design) of the face of the character "LOGO" is completed in front of the display unit 50a (Fig. 23 (B)). Then, once the front movable bodies 55ULk, 55URk, 55Dk return to the normal standby state (initial position) (FIG. 23 (C)), the front movable device 55 operates again, and the front movable bodies 55ULk, The 55URk and 55Dk combine to cover the rear movable bodies 56Uk and 56Dk (FIG. 23D), and the face design of the character "LOGO" is completed again. Thereafter, the front movable bodies 55ULk, 55URk, 55Dk return to the normal standby state (FIG. 23 (E)), and the rear movable bodies 56Uk, 56Dk also return to the normal standby positions (FIG. 23F) .

  With respect to the above-mentioned first developmental effect, the second developmental effect (corresponding to the second advance presentation effect) means, as shown in FIG. 47, the front of the display unit 50a using the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58 described above. Of the presentation contents for completing the face of the main character "BAKU". The main character "BAKU" is a main character different from the main character "LOGO", and is a main character having more opportunities to appear in various effects than the main character "LOGO". That is, the direction with the development effect using the main character "LOGO" is rarer than the effect using the main character "BAKU", which is a valuable effect for the player.

  In the second development effect, specifically, when the front movable device 55 is operated and the front movable bodies 55ULj, 55URj, 55Dj are united (FIG. 47A), the back mobile device 56 is operated. The rear movable bodies 56Uj and 56Dj are united between the front movable bodies 55ULj, 55URj and 55Dj and the display unit 50a (FIG. 47 (B)). Thereby, the design of the face of the character "BAKU" is completed in front of the display unit 50a (Fig. 47 (B)). Once the front movable bodies 55ULj, 55URj, 55Dj return to the normal standby state (FIG. 47 (C)), the front movable bodies 55ULj, 55URj, 55Dj combine again, and the rear back movable bodies 56Uj , 56Dj (FIG. 47D), and the face design of the character "BAKU" is completed again. Thereafter, the front movable bodies 55ULj, 55URj, 55Dj and the rear back movable bodies 56Uj, 56Dj return to the normal standby position (FIG. 47 (E) and FIG. 47 (F)).

  In addition, in the development rendition of this embodiment, when the big hit (the special figure during the change is the big hit design), “first development rendition” is easier to be selected than “second development rendition” . That is, in the present embodiment, the development effect which is the contents of the effect on the character "LOGO" tends to be a big hit.

  Specifically, as shown in the development effect selection table of FIG. 48 (A), the distribution ratio to be the first development effect is “60% in the case of a big hit, ie, when the special figure in change is a big hit pattern. And is higher than the distribution ratio (“40%”), which is the second development effect. In addition, the distribution ratio that will be the first development effect in the case of a big win will be the distribution ratio that will be the first development effect (“10% when it is a loss, ie, when the special figure during the change becomes a lost pattern ") Is higher than.

  Therefore, when the first developmental effect of the effect content in which the face of the character "LOGO" is completed is executed, the jackpot expectation is greater than in the case where the second developmental effect of the effect content in which the face of the character "BAKU" is completed. It is possible to suggest to the player that the degree is high, and it is possible to improve the player's expectation for the jackpot.

9-2-2. SP Reach Next, the SP reach of the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 48 (B), 49, and 50 in addition to the above-described drawings. The SP reach of the present embodiment includes an introductory effect corresponding to the introductory portion of the SP reach and a main effect (corresponding to a first effect and a second timing effect) which is an effect to be executed subsequent to the introductory effect. . Specifically, the effects shown in FIG. 49 (A) and FIG. 50 (A) correspond to the introduced effect, and the effects shown in FIG. 49 (B) and later and FIG. 50 (B) and later correspond to the main effect. Among these, the introduction effect is an effect of the effect content indicating the appearance of the enemy character A. On the other hand, the main effect is an effect of the effect contents in which the main character "LOGO" (or the main character "BAKU") appears and confronts the enemy character A (the battle is advanced).

  The main effect includes a plurality of (two) effects having different effect contents. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 49 (B) and FIG. 49 (C), the battle effect (first battle effect) of the effect contents in which the character “LOGO” fights against the enemy character A, and FIG. 50 (B) and As shown in FIG. 50C, there is battle presentation (second battle presentation) in which the character “BAKU” fights against the enemy character A.

  In the first battle effect (corresponding to the first notice effect and the specific notice effect), as shown in FIG. 49 (B), an image G115 indicating the character string "LOGO join" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. Further, an image G116 indicating the upper half of the character "LOGO" is displayed above the image G115. As a result, it is possible to inform the player that the first battle effect of the effect contents in which the character "LOGO" fights against the enemy starts as the SP reach.

  On the other hand, in the second battle effect (corresponding to the second advance effect), after displaying the image shown in FIG. 24 (A) (FIG. 50 (A)), as shown in FIG. An image G117 indicating the character string "BAKU visiting" and an image G118 indicating the upper half of the character "BAKU" are displayed above the image G117. As a result, it is possible to inform the player that the second battle effect of the effect contents in which the character "BAKU" fights against the enemy starts as the SP reach.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot (the special figure during the fluctuation is the jackpot symbol), the first battle effect is easier to be selected than the second battle effect. That is, in the present embodiment, as in the development effect, it is likely that the character "LOGO" appears in the SP reach is a big hit.

  In detail, as shown in the SP reach effect selection table of FIG. 48 (B), the distribution ratio of the first battle effect is “60% in the case of a big hit, that is, when the special figure in change becomes a big hit symbol. ", And it is higher than the distribution ratio (" 40% ") to be the second battle effect. In addition, the distribution ratio that will be the first battle effect in the case of a big win will be the distribution ratio that will be the first battle effect if it is a loss, that is, if the special figure during the change will be a lost symbol ("2% ") Is higher than.

  Therefore, when the first battle effect in which the character "LOGO" appears is executed, it is possible to suggest to the player that the jackpot expectation is higher than in the case where the second battle effect in which the character "BAKU" appears. Therefore, it is possible to improve the player's expectation to the jackpot.

9-3. Stock Challenge Effect Next, the stock challenge effect of the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 51 to 54 in addition to the above-described drawings. As in the first embodiment, the stock challenge presentation is performed during the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation presentation. In addition, the flow of execution of the stock challenge effect in the special figure fluctuation effect will be described later.

  As in the first embodiment, the stock challenge effect causes the player to operate the sword-shaped button 41 or the hemispherical button 40, and the item image G8 displayed in the stock effect (FIG. 37 (B), FIG. 51). It is a player participation type presentation aiming to obtain (A), FIG. 51 (B) and FIG. 52). In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, two challenges are possible in one stock challenge effect. Details of the item image G8 will be described later.

  The stock challenge effect is managed in a scenario as in the first embodiment. Specifically, using the selection tables (first scenario selection table and second scenario selection table) shown in FIGS. 53 and 54, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs stock challenge effects based on random numbers (stock challenge effect random numbers). The details of the presentation mode (content of presentation) are selected. With the details of the effect mode, the type of button operation promotion effect in the first and second challenges, the type of operation result effect after the button operation promotion effect, and the operation result effect of the “first operation result effect” In this case, it indicates the type (mode) of the item image G8 to be displayed (appeared) thereafter.

  In the present embodiment, in the case where the special figure variation effect for executing the stock challenge effect is an effect for executing both the development effect and the SP reach, the first scenario selection table shown in FIG. 53 is referred to. When it is planned to execute only one advance presentation effect (specifically, the SP reach) of the development effect and the SP reach, the second scenario selection table shown in FIG. 54 is referred to.

  In the stock challenge effect, as in the first embodiment, when the operation result effect selected based on the selection table (FIGS. 53 and 54) is the first operation result effect, the sword type button operation is effective. After the sword-shaped button 41 is pressed in the period, or the sword-shaped button 41 is not operated in the sword-shaped button operation effective period, the first operation result presentation is performed after the remaining time of the operation effective period is exhausted . In the first operation result presentation of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 51A, the image G42 indicating the character string "success" is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a, and the upper left portion of the display unit 50a When the "LOGO" item image G8L is displayed as the item image G8 and when the "BAKU" item image G8B is displayed as the item image G8 at the upper left portion of the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. There is. When the item image G8 is acquired in both the first and second challenges, as shown in FIG. 52, the second item image G8 is arranged in the upper left and upper right portions of the display unit 50a. Is displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as with the item image G7 of the first embodiment, the item image G8 is continuously displayed. That is, the display is continuously performed until the development rendition and the main rendition of the SP reach are performed. That is, the execution of the stock effect is started from the time when the item image G8 is displayed (when the item image G8 appears on the display unit 50a). Then, the execution of the stock effect continues until the development effect or the main effect of the SP reach is performed.

  In addition to the “LOGO” item image G8L and the “BAKU” item image G8B, the item image G8 displayed along with the first operation result effect is shown in FIG. 37 (B) as in the first embodiment. There is an “?” Item image GQ. The “LOGO” item image G8L suggests that the main character “LOGO” appears in the development effect, or that the main character “LOGO” appears in the main effect of the SP reach. Further, the “BAKU” item image G8B suggests that the main character “BAKU” appears in the development effect or the main character “BAKU” appears in the main effect of the SP reach.

  On the other hand, the “?” Item image GQ suggests that “LOGO” or “BAKU” will appear in the development effect, or “LOGO” or “BAKU” will appear in the main effect of the SP reach. ing. That is, the “?” Item image GQ merely suggests the execution of the development effect, or the execution of the main effect of the SP reach.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, in the configuration where the execution of the sword-shaped button operation promotion effect is performed in the stock challenge effect, the item image G7 can be more easily acquired than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. It has become. Specifically, for example, as shown in the first scenario selection table of FIG. 53, in each of the first and second challenges, the distribution ratio at which the first operation result is produced after the sword type button operation promotion effect is performed. "45%". The distribution ratio is higher than the distribution ratio (“25%”) at which the first operation result presentation is performed after the hemispherical button operation promotion presentation is performed in each of the first and second challenges. Further, for example, as shown in the second scenario selection table of FIG. 54, “the distribution ratio at which the first operation result presentation is performed after performing the sword type button operation promotion presentation at each of the first and second challenges is“ 33%. The distribution ratio is higher than the distribution ratio (“13%”) at which the first operation result presentation is performed after the hemispherical button operation promotion presentation is performed in each of the first and second challenges.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to suggest the player the possibility of the stock effect according to the type of the button operation promotion effect to be executed. That is, it is possible to make the player recognize that the sword button operation promotion effect is higher than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect as the effect with high possibility of stock effect. Therefore, in the stock challenge effect, the player is more likely to expect the execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. In addition, when execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect is performed, the player can easily expect the execution of the first operation result effect accompanied by the display of the item image G8 after this. Therefore, it is easy for the player to pay attention to the button operation promotion effect of the stock challenge effect, and it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sword-shaped button operation promotion effect is easier to obtain the “LOGO” item image G8L and the “BAKU” item image G8B than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. Specifically, for example, as shown in the first scenario selection table of FIG. 53, in the first challenge, the item image G8 additionally displayed after executing the sword type button operation promotion effect is “LOGO” item image G8L The distribution ratio to be one of the item images G8 of the “BAKU” item image G8B is “32%”. This distribution ratio is the distribution ratio in which one of the item images G8 of the "LOGO" item image G8L and the "BAKU" item image G8B is additionally displayed after the hemispheric button operation promotion effect is executed in the first challenge. Higher than ("13%"). Further, for example, in the second challenge, the distribution ratio at which one of the item images G8 of the “LOGO” item image G8L and the “BAKU” item image G8B is additionally displayed after the execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect “29%” And This distribution ratio is a distribution ratio ("16%") in which one of the item images G8 of "LOGO" item image G8L and "BAKU" item image G8B is additionally displayed after the hemispheric button operation promotion effect is performed. Higher than.

  Therefore, there is a high possibility of stock effect execution for the sword type button operation promotion effect, and when the effect is executed, any item image of the "LOGO" item image G8L and the "BAKU" item image G8B It is possible to make the player recognize that it is an effect that it is easy to additionally display G8. Therefore, when execution of the sword type button operation promotion effect is performed, the player can easily expect notification of the effect contents of the SP reach through the subsequent first operation result effect.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the effect contents of the main effects of the SP reach include those in which the character "LOGO" appears and those in which the character "BAKU" appears. Then, as described above, when the special figure is a jackpot symbol, a battle effect in which the character "LOGO" appears is more easily selected than a battle effect in which the character "BAKU" appears as effect content (FIG. 48 (B) reference). In addition, the “LOGO” item image G8L and the “BAKU” item image G8B respectively correspond to the contents of the development effect and the contents of the main effect of the SP reach.

  Therefore, when the "LOGO" item image G8L is shown as the item image G8, the main character "LOGO" appears in the development effect through the "LOGO" item image G8L or the main character "LOGO" in the main effect It is possible to notify the player in advance that the "" will appear. Also, when the "BAKU" item image G8B is shown as the item image G8, the main character "BAKU" appears in the development effect or the main character "BAKU" appears in the main effect through it. It is possible to notify the player in advance.

  Moreover, when the "LOGO" item image G8L is displayed as the item image G8, it is possible to show the player that the possibility of the jackpot is higher than the case where the "BAKU" item image G8B is displayed. There is. Therefore, when the “LOGO” item image G8L is displayed, it is possible to make the player highly expect a jackpot.

  Thus, when the development effect in which the character "LOGO" appears or the main effect in which the character "LOGO" appears is selected, the sword button operation promotion effect is more effective than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect, It is easy to perform additional display (acquisition) of the "LOGO" item image G8L. Therefore, by executing the sword type button operation promotion effect, it is possible to make the pachinko game machine PY1 easy for the player to be aware of the possibility of the jackpot from the early stage before the execution of the preview effect rather than the hemispherical button operation promotion effect. It has become.

9-4. Next, stock presentation will be described using FIGS. 55 to 58. FIG. The stock effect is an effect of continuously displaying the above-described item image G8 on the display unit 50a, as in the first embodiment. The start of this stock effect is, as described above, the execution of the first operation result effect of the stock challenge effect, the item image G8 ("LOGO" item image G8L, "BAKU" item image G8B, "?" Item image GQ ) Is displayed (appeared) on the display unit 50a. In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the item image G8 is displayed on the display unit 50a by the execution of the first operation result presentation in the first challenge, and the first operation result presentation in the second challenge There are two start timings when the item image G8 is displayed on the display unit 50a by the execution of.

  The end of the stock effect in the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment and immediately before the effect (development effect, the main effect of the SP reach) to be executed with the effect contents suggested by the item image G8. That is, in this embodiment, two final timings of immediately before the execution of the development effect in the special figure change production different from the first embodiment and immediately before the execution of the main effect in the SP reach during the special figure change production are different. is there.

  The stock rendition is continuously executed from one of the two start timings described above to one of the two end timings. Therefore, for example, the “LOGO” item image G8L displayed in the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 51 (A) is the same as the first embodiment until immediately before the development effect shown in FIG. 55 (B). It is continuously displayed over a plurality of effects (during normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect after the above-mentioned stock challenge effect and the N reach (FIG. 55 (A))). Further, for example, the “BAKU” item image G8B displayed in the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 51 (B) is the same as the first embodiment until immediately before the development effect shown in FIG. 56 (B). It is continuously displayed over a plurality of effects (at the time of normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect after the stock challenge effect and at the time of N reach (FIG. 56A)).

  Further, for example, the “LOGO” item image G8L displayed in the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 51 (A) has a plurality of effects (eg, for example, until immediately before the main effect of the SP reach shown in FIG. 57 (B). It is continuously displayed over the time of the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation production after the above-mentioned stock challenge production, the time of N reach, the development production, and the introduction production of SP reach (Drawing 57 (A)). Further, for example, the “BAKU” item image G8B displayed in the first operation result effect shown in FIG. 51 (B) has a plurality of effects (for example, until just before the main effect of the SP reach shown in FIG. 58 (B). It is continuously displayed over the time of the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation production after the stock challenge production, the N reach, and the introductory production of the SP reach (FIG. 58 (A)).

  Thus, when the stock rendition is performed, one of the development rendition and the SP reach main rendition is performed after the stock rendition. In other words, the execution of the stock effect is committed to the execution of any of the above effects thereafter. Therefore, it is possible for the player to wait for the execution of the effects while being thrilled before the execution of those effects.

  In addition, the item image G8 displayed on the display unit 50a along with the execution of the stock effect makes it possible to suggest the contents of the effect (development effect, the main effect of the SP reach) to be performed thereafter. Specifically, for example, when the item image G8 is a "LOGO" item image G8L, the effect content of the effect (development effect, main effect of SP reach) to be executed after the stock effect is the character "LOGO" by the item image G8. It is possible to suggest that it is a presentation content that appears. When the item image G8 is a "BAKU" item image G8B, the item image G8 causes the character "BAKU" to appear in the effect contents of the effect (development effect, the main effect of SP reach) to be executed after the stock effect. It is possible to suggest that it is the contents of the effect to appear.

  In addition to the above “LOGO” item image G8L and “BAKU” item image G8B, when “?” Item image GQ is displayed, the effect contents of the subsequent effect (development effect, main effect of SP reach) However, it is possible to suggest that this is a presentation content in which the character "LOGO" appears (appears) or a presentation content in which the character "BAKU" appears.

9-5. Next, the flow of a series of effects from the stock challenge effect to the stock effect in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment and the above-mentioned development effect or the main effect of the SP reach will be mainly described with reference to FIGS. It explains based on. In detail, the case where the special figure fluctuation pattern (refer FIG. 12) of special figure fluctuation production is "P01" or "P05" is demonstrated, for example.

  As in the first embodiment, the execution start time of the stock challenge effect is "time t01", the time when the item image G7 is displayed in the first challenge is "time t02", and the item in the second challenge is The time when the image G7 is displayed is set to "time t03" (see FIGS. 59 to 61). Further, an execution start time of the development effect is "time t13", an execution start time of the introductory effect of SP reach is "t14", and an execution start time of the main effect of SP reach is "time t15". As shown in FIG. 60 and the like, time t13 and time t15 are different, and the timing of the start of the development effect and the timing of the start of the main effect of the SP reach are different from each other.

  First, based on FIG. 59, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is “P01” or “P05”, and the item image G8 is displayed in the first challenge of the stock challenge effect (the item image in the second challenge A case will be described in which stock effect is performed until G8 is executed and development effect is executed. In such a case, after the item image G8 is displayed, the stock effect is executed until immediately before the start of the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect (the end of the N reach). That is, stock production is continuously performed over the normal fluctuation → N reach of the special figure fluctuation production. Further, according to FIG. 59 (D), the stock effect is continuously executed during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t13.

  It should be noted that it is unclear to the player how long the stock production will last when the stock production starts, and in relation to the stock production, which of the development production and the SP reach (main production) is executed. At that time (at the start of execution of the stock effect), it is unknown (difficult to judge) for the player. Therefore, when the execution of the stock rendition is started, until the rendition is performed which is to be executed, that is, until the end of the N reach after the normal fluctuation during the execution of the stock rendition. , It is possible for the player to watch while pounding. That is, when execution of the stock effect is started, the player can enjoy the stock effect while pounding which notice effect is to be performed.

  Subsequently, based on FIG. 60, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is “P01” or “P05”, and the item image G8 is displayed in the first challenge of the stock challenge effect (the item of the second challenge is the item A case where stock effect is executed until execution of the main effect of SP reach will be described. In such a case, the stock effect is performed until immediately before the main effect of the SP reach of the special figure fluctuation effect is performed after the item image G8 is displayed. That is, the stock effect is continuously executed over the normal fluctuation of the special image fluctuation effect → N reach → development effect → SP reach. Further, according to FIG. 60 (D), the stock effect is continuously executed during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t15. The effect time of this stock effect shown in FIG. 60 is different from the effect time of the stock effect shown in FIG.

  Also in the case shown in FIG. 60, it is unclear to the player how long the stock effect lasts when the execution of the stock effect starts, and it is unclear for the player, and the development effect and the SP reach in relation to the stock effect It is unclear to the player which of the effects is to be executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 59, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the development effect is executed or, as shown in FIG. 60, the SP reach is executed. Therefore, when the execution of the stock rendition is started, until the rendition is performed which is to be executed, that is, until the end of the N reach after the normal fluctuation during the execution of the stock rendition. , It is possible for the player to watch while pounding. That is, when execution of the stock effect is started, the player can enjoy the stock effect while pounding which notice effect is to be performed.

  In the case shown in FIG. 60, the display of the item image G8 does not disappear at the start of the execution of the development effect, that is, the execution of the SP reach is decided by the stock effect if the execution of the stock effect is not finished. . That is, after the development effect, it is possible to notify the player that the SP reach is executed instead of the L reach. Therefore, in such a case, it is possible to convince the player of the SP reach at the time of the development effect, and the player can wait for the SP reach while raising a sense of expectation.

  Subsequently, based on FIG. 61, the special image fluctuation pattern of the special image fluctuation effect is “P01” or “P05”, and the item image G8 is displayed in the first and second challenges of the stock challenge effect, respectively, and various effects The case where the stock effect is executed until the execution of will be described. In such a case, the stock effect (first stock effect) shown in FIG. 61 (C-1) is the display of the item image G8 in the first challenge, and then the development effect of the special figure fluctuation effect is executed. It will run until just before. Also, the stock effect (second stock effect) shown in FIG. 61C-2 is performed until immediately before the main effect of SP reach is performed after the item image G8 in the second challenge is displayed. That is, the first stock effect is continuously executed over the normal fluctuation → N reach of the special figure fluctuation effect, and the second stock effect is continued over the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect → N reach → the development effect → SP reach Execution is done. Further, according to FIG. 61 (D), the first stock effect is continued during a period from time t02 to immediately before time t13, and the second stock effect is continued during a period from time t05 to immediately before time t15. To be executed. That is, in this case, the rendering time of the first stock effect and the rendering time of the second stock effect are different from each other.

  Also in the case shown in FIG. 61, it is unclear for the player how long each stock effect lasts at the start of the execution of the first stock effect and the second stock effect, in relation to each stock effect. It is unclear to the player which of the following, the development instruction and the SP reach, is to be executed. That is, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the development effect or the SP reach is performed after the first stock effect. In addition, it is difficult to determine whether the development effect is performed or the SP reach is performed after the second stock effect. Therefore, when execution of two stock effects is started, it is possible that the player can watch while pounding until the effect is executed until which of the stock effects is associated with which notice effect. It has become. In other words, when execution of two stock effects is respectively started, the player can enjoy each stock effect while being excited about which notice effect is executed in relation to each stock effect. There is.

9-6. Effects of the Second Embodiment As described above in detail, in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, the main character “LOGO” is executed by executing the stock effect using the “LOGO” item image G8L which is the first suggested effect. It is possible to notify in advance the execution of the developmental effects of the effect content causing “to appear” or the execution of the SP reach (main effect) of the effect content causing the main character “LOGO” to appear. Therefore, it is possible to improve the player's expectation for the big hit (big hit gaming state) before the development of such contents of the presentation or the execution of the SP reach.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the stock effect using the “?” Item image GQ, which is the second suggested effect, causes the character “LOGO” to be the same as the execution of the stock effect using the “LOGO” item image G8L. It is possible to give the player a desire that the development effect of the effect content to appear or the SP reach (the effect effect) of the effect content causing the character “LOGO” to appear may be performed. That is, different from the time of execution of stock effect using the “LOGO” item image G8L, it is possible to give the player a thrilling feeling until the main effect of the development effect or the SP reach is executed. Therefore, two different effects (stock effect using “LOGO” item image G8L and stock effect using “?” Item image GQ) having different intentions are provided in one effect (stock effect). It is possible to improve the interest.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the stock effect can be continuously executed, the player can easily notice the execution of the stock effect when the stock effect is executed. In addition, there are time to execute the development effect (first timing effect) of the effect content suggested by the stock effect and the time to execute the main effect (second timing effect) of the SP reach of the effect content suggested by the stock effect . Therefore, the player can enjoy the executed presentation without discomfort even when the development presentation is executed after the execution of the stock presentation or when the main presentation of the SP reach is executed. In addition, since it is difficult to predict which of the presentation to be executed is the development presentation or the main presentation of the SP reach, it is possible for the player to wait for the start of the main presentation of the development presentation or the SP reach while pounding It is possible to improve interest by

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the main effects of the development effect and the SP reach are effects capable of suggesting the possibility of becoming a big hit (big hit gaming state) by the contents of the effect, so It is possible to attract the attention of the player to the main effect. In addition, it is possible to inform the player in advance of the execution of such an effect through the execution of the stock effect, and the player's expectation to the jackpot is felt before the execution of the development effect or the main effect of the SP reach. Is possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is suggested that the possibility of becoming a big hit is relatively high at any timing (time) of time t13 corresponding to the first timing and time t15 corresponding to the second timing. It is possible to execute the effect of the content of the effect to be performed, that is, the development effect shown in FIG. 55 (B) and the main effect of the SP reach shown in FIG. 57 (B). Therefore, it is possible to create a pachinko gaming machine PY1 capable of performing a variety of effects while offering the player a sense of expectation to the jackpot from before execution of stock effects using the "LOGO" item image G8L. There is.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to notify the player in advance of the execution of the stock effect, and further the execution of the main effect of the development effect or the SP reach through the execution of the stock challenge effect which is the third effect. . Note that, as described above, the development effect and the main effect of the SP reach are effects of effect contents that suggest a possibility of becoming a big hit, and the player's attention is high. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the execution of the stock effect that suggests the execution of such effects and the execution of the stock challenge effect as well as the execution of the development effect and the main effect of the SP reach. ing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an effect aspect in the stock challenge effect (that is, an effect aspect in which the sword-shaped button 41 is operated (see FIG. 35B)) or an effect aspect in which the hemispherical button 40 is operated (FIG. )), It is possible to suggest to the player the possibility (easiness to be carried out) of the development effect that the character “LOGO” appears, or the main effect of the SP reach where the character “LOGO” appears. ing. That is, it is possible to inform the player in advance of the possibility of becoming a big hit before the development effect and the execution of the SP effect.

9-7. Other Modifications Hereinafter, modifications of the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described. In addition, in description of the example of a change, about the structure similar to pachinko game machine PY1 of said 1st Embodiment etc., the code | symbol same as the said embodiment is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, after the execution of the second effect (stock effect) is finished, the first effect (the movable object advance effect, the effect effect, the development effect, and the main effect of the SP reach) is performed. I started the execution. However, after the execution of the second effect is started, the execution of the first effect may be started before the end of the execution of the second effect. That is, the second effect and the first effect may be partially (parallelly) executed in parallel. In addition, although the execution of the first effect is started in succession to the execution of the second effect, after the execution of the second effect is ended, the execution of the first effect is performed after setting a predetermined period. May be started.

  Further, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the number of button operation promotion effects (sword type button operation promotion effect, hemispherical button operation promotion effect) in one stock challenge effect is two. However, the number of button operation promotion effects in one stock challenge effect may be one or three or more. In addition, although one item image can be acquired with one button operation promotion effect, a plurality of item images may be acquired with one button operation promotion effect. In addition, although the upper limit value of the number of item images that can be acquired in one stock challenge effect is two, the upper limit value may be one or three or more. In addition, during the execution of the stock presentation after the execution of the stock challenge presentation, the stock challenge presentation may be performed again.

  In the first and second embodiments, the item images acquired later are arranged and displayed together with the item images acquired earlier. That is, the acquired item images are configured to increase. However, the item image acquired later may be overwritten with the item image acquired earlier. According to such a configuration, even if the item image is acquired, the item image may be overwritten (changed) later. For example, the item image acquired before the end of the execution of the stock rendition It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the may be overwritten. In addition, the acquired item image may be partially or entirely erased. According to such a configuration, even if the item image is acquired, the item image may be deleted later. For example, the player feels tense until the execution of the first effect starts. It is possible to have it.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the stock challenge effect includes button operation promotion effect (sword type button operation promotion effect, hemispherical button operation promotion effect). However, stock challenge effects including player participation type effects other than button operation promotion effects may be used. Alternatively, stock challenge effects may be included that do not include player participation type effects.

  In the first embodiment, the color designation item image G7C is of two types (two colors) of the "red" item image G7 and the "blue" item image G7B. However, the color designation item image may be of one type (one color) or three types (three colors) or more. However, it is more preferable that the color suggested by the color designation item image is a color related to the effect mode of the first effect (movable body advance effect, effect effect).

  In the first embodiment, the "blue" item image G7B is an image in which the character "blue" is disposed at the center of the medal. That is, the color designated item image G7C is an image in which the color designated at the center of the medal is described by characters. However, the medal may be painted only with the specified color for the color specified item image. Moreover, it is good also as an item image which shows shapes other than a medal | token.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the image production which used the color designation item image about 2nd production. However, effects using light emitting devices such as lamps and lights may be used. As such an effect, for example, an effect that indicates a color in an emission color (emission mode) when the light emitting device is caused to emit light can be mentioned. In addition, an effect using voice may be used. As such an effect, for example, an effect of outputting a sound indicating a color from the speaker once or plural times can be mentioned.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when a plurality of (two) item images are displayed, one item image corresponds to the movable body advance notice effect, and the other item image corresponds to the effect effect. However, in the case where there are a plurality of item images, the configuration may be such that a plurality of or all of the item images can be made to correspond to one preview effect.

  Specifically, for the effect using the SP reach start title image G1 shown in FIG. 24C, in addition to the above-described effect effects, the title image G11 representing the SP reach title of the SP reach start title image G1 is used. With regard to the rendition, there is also a configuration in which the jackpot expectation can be suggested. That is, the display mode of the title image G11 is also provided with two display modes ("blue" and "red") as in the effect effect. And when it becomes a big hit (special figure in fluctuation is big hit symbol), the display mode of "red" is easier to be selected than the display mode of "blue".

  For example, when two item images ("red" item image G7R and "blue" item image G7B) are acquired by the above-described stock challenge effect, each stock is obtained as shown in FIGS. 62 (A) and 62 (B). The effects (stock effects using the “red” item image G7R and stock effects using the “blue” item image G7B) are continuously executed in parallel. Thereafter, execution of these two stock effects (that is, display of various item images) can be ended together. Then, when the execution of the two stock effects is ended, an effect using an SP reach start title image G1 as shown in FIG. 62 (C) is started. At that time, one display mode of the title image G11 and the effect image G12 is displayed in "red", and the other display mode is displayed in "blue".

  The display mode of the title image G11 is provided in two types of "red" and "blue", and the display mode of the effect image G12 is also provided in two types of "red" and "blue" as in the title image G11. As a result, there are three combinations of the display mode of the title image G11 and the display mode of the effect image G12. That is, both the display modes of the title image G11 and the effect image G12 are "blue", both are "red", and one of the display modes of the title image G11 and the effect image G12 is "red" and the other is "blue". There are three ways. And in the case of the combination of both "red", the credibility to a high jackpot expectation degree can be improved. Also, if only one of the combinations is "red", it is suggested that the jackpot expectation is high by one of the effects, so it is possible to make the player pay attention to the end of the special figure fluctuation effect.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when a plurality (two) of item images are displayed, one item image is a development effect, and the other item image is a main effect of SP reach (first effect) I correspond to each. However, in the case where there are a plurality of item images, the configuration may be such that a plurality of or all of the item images can be made to correspond to one first effect.

  Specifically, for example, when two item images (“LOGO” item image G8L and “BAKU” item image G8B) are obtained by the above-described stock challenge effect, as shown in FIG. 63A, each stock effect (The stock effect using the “LOGO” item image G8L and the stock effect using the “BAKU” item image G8B) are continuously executed in parallel. Thereafter, execution of these two stock effects (that is, display of various item images) can be ended together. Then, when the execution of the two stock effects is ended, a main effect (first effect) as shown in FIG. 63 (B) is executed. Specifically, an image G119 showing the character string "Competition !!" in the center of the display unit 50a, an image G116 showing the upper half of the main character "LOGO" above the image G119, and a main character below the image G119 A main effect of displaying an image G118 indicating the upper half body of "BAKU" is executed.

  As in the second embodiment, when a plurality of item images are displayed, one of the item images can be made to correspond to the main effect (first effect) of the SP reach. By doing so, when there are two item images, a plurality of effect contents different from each other (i.e., effect contents in which only the main character "LOGO" appears, effect contents in which only the main character "BAKU" appears, and a main character It is possible to take the effect contents in which both “LOGO” and “BAKU” appear, and it is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine which first effect is to be made.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the light emission aspect of movable body advance announcement production was made into two types. However, three or more light emission modes may be used. Moreover, although the display aspect of effect production was made into two types, three or more types of display aspects may be sufficient.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the first effect is an effect during special image variation effect (a movable object effect during development effect or an effect effect during SP effect). However, based on the effects other than the special figure change effect, for example, the pre-read determination, the advance effect which may be executed before the special figure change effect may be set. Moreover, it is good also as an effect in a big hit game (special game).

  Further, in the first embodiment, although the distribution ratio is shown in FIG. 34A and FIG. 34B, the configuration may be such that the jackpot expectation increases in the order of “blue” → “red”. For example, the distribution ratio is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 34 (A) and 34 (B). In addition, the jackpot expectation is set to be higher in the order of “blue” → “red”, but the jackpot expectation may be set to be higher in the order of “red” → “blue”.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, it was set as the structure which performs stock challenge production | presentation (3rd production | presentation) at the time of the normal fluctuation | variation of special figure fluctuation production. However, it may be performed, for example, during N reach of special figure change production, during development effect, during L reach, during SP reach, or before the special figure change production, other than the normal change.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, although it is possible to suggest either of the effect modes (content of effects) of the first effect by the “?” Item image GQ, for example, the “red / blue” item image Alternatively, it may be an item image that displays all of the possible modes, such as a "LOGO / BAKU" item image.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the development effect (first effect) including the configuration of the main character embodied using the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58 is included in the effect content. That is, the difference in the contents of the presentation between the two development effects (the first development effect, the second development effect) is the difference in the type of the main character using the movable devices 55, 56, 57, 58. Further, the main effect (first effect) of the SP reach including the configuration of the main character appearing on the display unit 50a in the effect content is set. That is, the difference in the contents of presentation between the two main effects is regarded as the difference in the type of the leading character appearing. However, the difference in the contents of the effect may be a difference other than the type of the character, specifically, for example, a difference in the number of characters. Moreover, it is good also as a difference of a production | presentation aspect. That is, the first effect may be an effect using a light emitting device, and the difference in the contents of the effect may be the difference in the light emission mode of the light emitting device. Further, after the first effect is displayed on the display unit 50a, the difference in the content of the effect may be set as the difference in the display mode of the image effect. Further, the first effect may be an effect using a movable device, and the difference in the content of the effect may be the difference in the operation mode of the movable device.

  Further, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the pachinko gaming machines PY1 referred to as so-called "first type" and "digipachi" are shown as gaming machines. However, it is a so-called "type 3", a so-called "right thing" pachinko game machine, a so-called "type 1" pachinko gaming machine that combines the characteristics of the "class 2" pachinko gaming machine It may be a pachinko gaming machine called "one kind two kind mixing".
