  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 72k 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 is provided which enables or disables entering the second starting opening 12.

  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. As described above, the fact that the electric chute opening / closing member 12k is in the protruding state is also referred to as the "open state" of the second starting opening 12 or the electric chute 12D, and only when the gaming ball is open A sphere becomes possible. On the other hand, the state in which the electric chew opening / closing member 12k is stored is also referred to as a "closed state" of the second start port 12 or the electric chew 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 game ball, the lottery of the normal symbol (hereinafter referred to as "common drawing") (ie, acquisition and determination of the normal symbol random number: hereinafter referred to as "common drawing lottery") and the variable display of common drawing It has become. 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, as shown in FIG. 3, at the bottom of the game area 6, two balls are discharged to the outside of the game area 6 to discharge the game ball that has been driven into the game area 6 but has not won any winning openings. A mouth 19 is provided.

  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 72k 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 72k that causes the game ball to fire 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 game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting the right, 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, A special figure 2 reserve display 83b is included to display the special figure 2 reserve number described later (U2: the number of the special view 2 variable display by the special figure 2 display 81b is pending).

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 11. Further, the variable display of the special view 2 is executed when the special view 2 lottery is performed triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 12. In the following description, 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 specific figure (special figure of a specific stop mode, ie, a big hit symbol), the special winning opening (first large winning opening 14 and second large winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

  The special view display 81 includes, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special view according to the result of the special view lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special figure lottery is a big hit (one of a plurality of types of big hits described later), the special figure display 81 is “□□ ■■ □□ ■■” (□: lighting, ■ : The jackpot symbol consisting of the lighting of the first, second, fifth and sixth LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a loss, 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 and judgment information for performing special drawing lottery etc. An example may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the below-mentioned special figure reservation storage unit 105 as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers”, and the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 12 The various random numbers acquired by (entering) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special view 1 related random number is stored as the special view 1 reserve, in the special view 1 reserve storage unit 105 a in the special view reserve storage unit 105. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored as the special figure 2 reserve, in the special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105 b in the special figure reserve storage unit 105. For the number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special view 1 reservation storage unit 105a (the special figure 1 reservation number) and the number of special view 2 reservations that can be stored in the special view 2 reservation storage unit 105b (the special figure 2 reservation number) The upper limit (for example, four) can be set. In the following, the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve are generically called "special figure reserve", and the special figure 1 reserve number and the special figure 2 reserve number are generically called "special figure reserve number". Also, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are generically called "special figure related random number".

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

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

  Further, the variable display of the common drawing reports the result of the common drawing lottery. In the variable display of the common drawing, after the common drawing is variably displayed, the stop display is performed. The stop-displayed common drawing (stop-general drawing, common drawing derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display) is one common drawing selected from among a plurality of common drawings by the common drawing lottery. When the stop-displayed common drawing is a predetermined specific common drawing (a common drawing of a predetermined stop mode, ie, a hit symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second starting opening 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed .

  The common drawing indicator 82 is constituted of, for example, two LEDs, and displays the common drawing according to the result of the common drawing lottery according to the lighting mode. If the result of the common drawing lottery is a hit, the common drawing display 82 displays a hit symbol consisting of lighting of both LEDs, such as "□□" (□: lit, ■: off). Further, when the result of the common drawing lottery is a loss, a lost symbol configured by lighting only the right LED is displayed, such as "■ □". You may employ | adopt the aspect which makes all the LED light-extinguish as a lost design. In addition, the lighting aspect of LED corresponding to the result of a common drawing lottery is not limited, It can set suitably.

  Further, before the common drawing is stopped and displayed, variable display of the common drawing is performed over a predetermined change time. The aspect of the variable display of a common drawing is the aspect that both LED lights alternately, for example. In addition, the aspect of the variable display of a common drawing is not specifically limited, If each LED is not stop display (lighting display in a specific aspect), you may set suitably that all the LEDs blink simultaneously. .

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the gaming ball passes through the gate 13, a normal symbol random number (an example of numerical information or determination information) for performing a common drawing lottery may be acquired. The random number is stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106 described later on the condition that variable display of the common drawing or auxiliary game is not executed. An upper limit (for example, four) can be set as the number of common drawing reservations that can be stored in the common drawing reservation storage unit 106 (the number of common drawing reservations). In addition, below, the thing of the normal symbol random number acquired by passing a game ball by the gate 13 is also called "common figure relative random number."

3. Next, the main game played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 16.

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

  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.

3-1-1. Clash Determination Clash determination is determination to determine whether or not a match is made (whether or not an auxiliary game is to be 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 collision determination is a loss, basically, the lost spread is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the spread. 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. 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 fired game ball wins the first start hole 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs variable display of the special figure 1 (display of variation and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 1 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a big hit and a loss in the result of the special figure 1 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

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

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

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

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, and determines whether there is reach or no reach (whether or not to cause reach). 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 addition, in the following, the thing of "with reach (to generate reach)" performed on the premise that the result of the big hit judgment is "loss" is called "with reach loss", and "no reach (does not cause reach)" ) May be referred to as "no reach lost".

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment, using the fluctuation pattern judgment table (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) of special symbol as shown in Figure 12-Figure 13, the fluctuation pattern of the special display (special figure fluctuation Determination for determining the pattern), and is performed when the result of the jackpot determination is either a jackpot or a loss. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time, the flow of the special figure fluctuation effect to be described later (content of the effect), and the like. 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 include one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss. Similarly, in the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-shorting special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table, there are one for big hit, one for reach presence loss, and one for no reach loss.

  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 no reach loss. In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss is also associated with the number of special figure reservations. Specifically, when the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 0 to 2, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach-less loss used and the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 3 to 4 There is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for no reach loss used in

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

  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 "big hit fluctuation". On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a kind of reach, is performed among the lose with reach is called “SP loss fluctuation”, and in the loss with reach, the L reach which is a kind of reach is performed The figure variation pattern is "L lost variation", among the presence of reach, the figure of the special figure variation pattern where the special figure variation effect is finished with N reach which is a kind of reach is "N loss variation", without reach The special pattern fluctuation pattern is called "normal loss fluctuation".

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, it may be determined which special pattern fluctuation pattern is determined as the special pattern 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 pre-reading determination table used in the time saving state. Note that what judgment is included in the pre-reading judgment can be changed as appropriate.

3-3. Jackpot game

  Next, the jackpot game will be described. In the jackpot game, a plurality of round games involving opening and closing of the big winning opening (the first big winning opening 14 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 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 takes place, time to close until next opening (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. are included. ing. 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, the round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens up to 29.5 seconds from 1R to 15R, or the first large winning opening 14 up to 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. And in the 16R (final round), the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, or the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 0.1 seconds, To be done. In each round game, when the predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the large winning opening sensors 14a and 15a, it is before the maximum opening time of the large winning openings 14 and 15 elapses. Even end the round game.

  In addition, 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 distributing solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big winning opening is started, and the distributing member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 4 (B)). 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 the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distributing member 16k operate, and the 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. Gaming state

  Next, the gaming 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". In addition, "low probability low base gaming state" "low probability low base state", "low probability high base gaming state" "low probability high base state", "high probability low base gaming state" "high probability "Low base state" and "high probability high base gaming state" can be abbreviated as "high probability high base state". As a state constituting the gaming state, there are a state relating to the probability of being judged as a "big hit" in the big hit determination, and a state relating to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, 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-short time state is set in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "high probability low base gaming state" or the "big hit gaming state". The time saving state is set in the “low probability high base gaming state” or “high probability high base gaming state”, and the gaming state in which the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than the non time saving state. It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.0 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric tube 12D in the non-short time state. 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 can easily make the common drawing 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, in the time saving state, the number of times the common drawing lottery is executed per unit time is more.

  In addition, the time saving state can be more easily 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, in the time saving state, the number of times it is determined to be a hit in the hit determination per unit time is more.

  As described above, in the time saving state, the open time of the electric chow 12D per unit time is longer than that in the non-time saving state, and the gaming ball is more likely to win frequently to the second starting opening 12. As a result, the base which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls becomes high. Therefore, in the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of gaming balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time saving state is 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. The game is set to the player in an advantageous manner in three points with respect to the game according to the common drawing. However, points set to be advantageous to the player may be 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". 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 night view of the mountain is displayed on the display unit 50a, and one or more special events are performed without winning a jackpot. It is switched as one condition that figure fluctuation 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. Although the background image for definite variation G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a in the first stage effect mode, the dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed in the second stage effect mode.

  The time-saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "low probability high base gaming state", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a normal probability state and a time-saving state. In the time-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.

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

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

  In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production, in addition to the fluctuation display of production design, 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. 20A, the left effect symbol area 50b1, the middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are clearly indicated by broken lines, but this is the left effect symbol area 50b1 It is described to represent the range of the effect 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 view is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), in the display unit 50a, the left presentation symbol EZ1, the middle presentation symbol EZ2, and the right presentation symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed, The left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the variable display of the special view is not performed, and from the state of waiting for the variable display of the special view, FIG. As shown, the variable display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started along with the start, and the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 is started. Then, if the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of this special view is the special view fluctuation pattern of the loss without reach (for example, the normal loss fluctuation), the reach of the special view does not occur and the end of the special display (special view In conjunction with the stop display of (1), the stop display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is performed with a missing eye (so-called "sloppy 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, the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 temporarily stopped in a state of being aligned horizontally in a substantially central position in the vertical direction completely stop all at once, as shown in FIG. 20 (F), A stop is determined (stop display of effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, 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.

  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 loss with reach (for example, the N loss fluctuation), as in the case of the above-mentioned reach no, FIG. As shown in A), from the state where left production design EZ1, middle production design EZ2 and right production design EZ3 are stopped and displayed, and left small design KZ1, middle small design KZ2 and right small design KZ3 are displayed stopped. The variable display of the special view is started, and as shown in FIG. 21B, the variable display of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 The variable display of is started. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (C), the left effect design EZ1 consisting of the number “5” is temporarily stopped at the approximate center position in the vertical direction, and then, as shown in FIG. 21 (D) The right effect design EZ3 consisting of "5" is temporarily stopped in line in the horizontal direction at a substantially central position in the vertical direction, and reaches reach (reach is generated or established). Even if reach is established with the production symbols, the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 is continuously performed.

  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". In addition, 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.

  In addition, the content of the effect of N reach is not limited to that the middle effect pattern EZ2 is gradually decelerated, and can be appropriately changed or added.

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. 25 (C), when the profile of the enemy character A is displayed, the two swords try to be different and the battle between the main character and the enemy character A is concluded. I will meet the scene to be taken. 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 effect contents of the SP reach are not limited to the contents in which the characters battle 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, and each of them is selected according to the special view 1 reserve count or the special view 2 reserve count. It is possible to display the hold icon HA in the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3 and 50d4. For example, when the special drawing 1 holding number is "1", the holding icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special drawing 1 holding number is "2", the first display area 50d1 and the first display area 50d1 are displayed. The hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 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 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 in the normal state 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. Then, as shown in FIG. 23C, the upper front upper left movable body 55ULk, the upper front upper right movable body 55URk, and the lower front lower movable body 55Dk temporarily 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 squeeze 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 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, if 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 big hit determination is "loss", it is also possible to perform the same operation result effect as the case of the big hit determination as "big hit" as so-called "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 prefetching effect can suggest in advance the lottery result of the special drawing lottery for the special drawing 1 holding or the special drawing 2 holding.

  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 "☆" May be displayed. In addition, when the result of the pre-reading determination is “missing”, the hold icon HA may be displayed as “☆” as so-called “gasse effect”.

  In addition, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect on both or one of the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve. Further, the present invention is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, and can be appropriately changed or added.

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. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

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

[2. Main timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main timer interrupt process (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 30, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), an output process (S101) is first executed.

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

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

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

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

[2.1 ms timer interrupt processing]
The 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of 1 msec cycle is input to the sub control board 120. In the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011), as shown in FIG. 32, an input process (S4101), a light emission data output process (S4102), a movable device control process (S4103), and a watchdog timer process (S4104) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit operable by the player such as the hemispherical button detection switch 40a or the sword button detection switch 41a is detected. In the light emission data output process, light emission data so that lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made 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. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54 and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process, drive data for performing movable object effect to operate the movable 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), as shown in FIG. 33, the received command analysis process (S4201), the effect timer update process (S4202), the voice control process (S4203), and the effect data creation process (S4204) are sequentially performed .

  In the reception command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 by the reception interrupt process (S4010) is analyzed, and a process according to the command (for example, selection of effect, setting of effect mode, setting of command, etc.) I do. In the effect timer update process, the timer for measuring the time concerning each effect is updated. 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.

<Features of pachinko gaming machine PY1>
Hereinafter, the features of the above-described pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described in detail. First, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the gaming control microcomputer 101 will be described. The gaming control microcomputer 101 can determine the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern using the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG.

  In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process when the non-time saving state is set, the microcomputer 101 for gaming control determines the result of the reach determination and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number as a result of the jackpot determination performed in the special figure 1 determination process. Based on the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined. As shown in FIG. 34, it is possible to determine nine types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns “THP001” to “THP009” as the special figure 1 fluctuation patterns. It is distributed by the special figure fluctuation pattern random number as to which special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit", it is possible to determine three types of "THP001" to "THP003" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. Of the three special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP001” is easier to be determined than the other special figure 1 fluctuation patterns.

  If the result of the jackpot determination is "loss" and the result of the reach determination is "reach", it is possible to determine three types of "THP004" to "THP006" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is there. Of the three special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP 006” is the easiest to determine.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is "loss" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", it is possible to determine three types of "THP 007" to "THP 009" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. is there. Which one of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns to be determined is assigned by the number of special figure 1 reservations. If the number of reserved special figures 1 is 0 to 2, "THP 007" with 13000 ms, which has a relatively long time to change the special figures, is easily determined, and if the number of reserved special figures 1 is 3 to 4, the special figure The 4000 ms "THP 009", which has a relatively short fluctuation time, is easily determined.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35 to FIG. 44, the special figure fluctuation effect that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described according to the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determined by the gaming control microcomputer 101. First, main effects that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 in the special figure fluctuation effect will be described.

A. It is an effect that may be performed according to the start of the variable display of the normal variation special drawing. Since it is performed first in special figure fluctuation production, it functions as a production which suggests that special figure fluctuation production is started.

B. Reach After the "normal change", it is an effect that the left production design EZ1 and the right production design EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same design. Since the jackpot determination may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it functions as an effect that a jackpot game may be performed. In addition, since it may develop into reach production such as “character reach” or “game reach” after that, it also functions as a production that suggests that reach production may be performed.

C. N Reach This effect is sometimes performed after the "reach" is established. Since the jackpot determination may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it functions as an effect that suggests that a jackpot game may be performed.

D. Character reach It is an effect that may be performed after “N reach”, and is an effect that effects are performed according to the types of players. Since it is easier to perform a "big hit" when the result of the big hit determination is "losing", it works as an effect that indicates that the possibility of a big hit game is high. In addition, since the jackpot game is more likely to be played if the player has developed into the "character reach" after the "N reach" than when ending with the "N reach", the jackpot game may be performed more than the "N reach" It also works as an effect that suggests that sex is high.

E. Pre-match production This production is sometimes performed after "N reach" and is a prognostic production showing the situation before the soccer game is played. Since the jackpot determination may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it functions as an effect that a jackpot game may be performed. In addition, since "match reach" is performed after that, it also functions as an effect that suggests that "match reach" will be performed.

F. Match reach This is a production performed after "pre-game production", and is a reach production showing how a soccer game is being played. Since it is easier to perform a "big hit" when the result of the big hit determination is "losing", it works as an effect that indicates that the possibility of a big hit game is high. In addition, since the jackpot game is more likely to be played if the player has developed into "game reach" after "N reach" than when developed to "character reach" after "N reach", the jackpot is larger than "character reach". It also functions as an effect that suggests that the possibility of playing a game is high.

G. This is an effect performed in the “game reach”, and is an effect that indicates whether or not the main player decides the goal in accordance with the operation of the hemispherical button 40. Since it is suggested that a big hit game is played or a loss, it functions as an effect indicating whether or not a big hit game is played.

H. Stock production This is a production that is sometimes performed in "pre-game production". Since "chance suggestion production" or "button promotion production" may be performed in the subsequent "game reach", it functions as a production that suggests that "chance suggestion production" or "coincidence button production" is performed.

I. It is an effect that may be performed in "match reach", and is an effect that suggests that the main player may decide the goal. Since it is easier to perform a "big hit" when the result of the big hit determination is "losing", it works as an effect that indicates that the possibility of a big hit game is high.

J. Chance indication production It is a production that may be performed in the "game reach", and functions as a production that indicates the possibility that the "chance up production" will be performed.

K. Button promotion effect It is an effect that may be performed in "match reach". After that, since "the hit button effect" is performed, it functions as a effect that suggests that the "touch button effect" is performed.

  Next, the flow of producing a special image variation effect will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in the special figure fluctuation effect, and uses the light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 and the speaker 52 according to the display of the effect image. It is possible to perform the sound effect that has been.

  As shown in Fig. 35 (A), in the special figure fluctuation presentation of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern "game big hit fluctuation", "game lost fluctuation", "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "game A presentation flow consisting of “previous presentation” → “match reach” is executed. In "pre-match production", "stock production" may be performed, and in "game reach", "chance suggestion production", "button promotion production", "shake production", and "chance up production" may be performed .

  Special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is “character big hit fluctuation”, “special character fluctuation fluctuation” of the “character loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “N reach” → “character A presentation flow composed of "reach" is executed. In this special image variation production, "stock production", "chance suggestion production", "button promotion production", "shake production", and "chance up production" are not performed.

  Special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is “N big hit fluctuation”, “N lost fluctuation” in special figure fluctuation production, as shown in Figure 35 (C), “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “N reach” Effect flow is executed. In this special image variation production, "stock production", "chance suggestion production", "button promotion production", "shake production", and "chance up production" are not performed.

  Next, the "pre-game effect" executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute "stock effect" in the "pre-match effect". The "stock effect" includes a stock A (see FIG. 36B) for stocking the chance suggestion image G4 and a stock B (see FIG. 36 (D)) for stocking the button suggestion image G5. Stock A's "stock production" is the production that gives notice in advance that "chance suggestive production" will be made, and stock B's "stock production" gives it's notice in advance that "button promotion production" will be made. It is an effect. Although details will be described later, the chance suggestion image G4 and the button suggestion image G5 are images in which the display mode changes in response to the start of the “match reach”.

  36 (A) to 36 (E) are diagrams showing the flow of "pre-game effect". In the "pre-game effect", as shown in FIG. 36A, the pre-game background image G115 is displayed on the display unit 50a, suggesting that either the chance suggestion image G4 or the button suggestion image G5 is displayed. A roaring production is performed. Here, the chance suggestion image G4 and the button suggestion image G5 are variably displayed as the turning effect. After that, when the “stock effect” of stock A is performed, as shown in FIG. 36 (B), as shown in FIG. 36 (C), a chance suggestion image G4 is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. The chance suggestion image G4 is displayed in the lower left portion of the display unit 50a, and it is suggested that the “chance suggestion effect” is performed in the “match reach”. On the other hand, when the "stock effect" of the stock B is performed, as shown in FIG. 36 (D), after the button suggestion image G5 is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 36 (E). The button suggestion image G5 is displayed in the lower right portion of the display unit 50a, and it is suggested that the “button promotion effect” is performed in the “game reach”.

  Next, the "match reach" executed in the special figure fluctuation presentation will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 is capable of executing the "immediate button effect" in the "game reach".

  In "immediately falling button effect", an operation image G201 for prompting the user to operate the hemispherical button 40 is displayed. There are three types of buttons A to C in the operation image G201, and the normal button image G201a is displayed in the "drop-down button effect" of the button A (see FIG. 37 (B1)). Then, the 3D button image G201b is displayed (see (B2) in FIG. 37), and the gold button image G201c is displayed (see (B3) in FIG. 37) in the “touch button effect” of the button C. When the hemispherical button 40 is operated in the "dropping button effect", a jackpot or a loss is suggested. The normal button image G201a is an image imitating the hemispherical button 40, the 3D button image G201b is an image imitating a soccer ball, and the gold button image G201c is a gold image imitating the hemispherical button 40 .

  The effect control microcomputer 121 selects which of the buttons A to C is to execute the “fall button effect” using the hit button effect selection table shown in FIG. In addition, it is possible to change suitably about the production | presentation content and selection ratio of "the hit button effect".

  FIGS. 37 (A) to 37 (D) are diagrams showing the flow of "game reach". In "game reach", as shown in FIG. 37A, a game reach background image G116 is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a live-action telop image G200 for explaining the situation of the game is displayed on the game reach background image G116. Is displayed. In this live-up telop image G200, a frame image surrounding a character image is usually displayed in white. Further, from the speaker 52, a voice corresponding to the character image displayed as the live telop image G200 is output. There are four branch points at timings T1 to T4 in the "game reach" (see Fig. 35A), and the game development changes at each branch point, and a scene where the team to which the main player belongs is dominant or inferiority To the scene where Then, when the four branch points are passed, the "fall button effect" is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (B1) to FIG. 37 (B3), in the "winning button effect", a scene in which the main player tries to shoot is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a normal button image is displayed as the operation image G201. One of G201a, 3D button image G201b, and gold button image G201c is displayed. After that, in response to the hemispherical button 40 being operated or without the hemispherical button 40 being operated, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern according to the passage of a predetermined effective time (for example 4 seconds). If the game is "game big hit change", as shown in FIG. 37 (C), an aspect (so-called Zoro eyes) that the presentation symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a big hit together with the display of the goal scene on the display unit 50a. If the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is “match lost game fluctuation”, the display section 50a displays the unscored scene and the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ2 as shown in FIG. 37 (D). , EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a mode (so-called loose eye) suggesting a loss.

  Here, the roles of the normal button image G201a, the 3D button image G201b, and the gold button image G201c will be described.

  Since the goal scene may be displayed after that, the normal button image G201a functions as an effect that suggests that the "hit button effect" in which the normal button image G201a is displayed may be played a big hit game. Do. In addition, since the 3D button image G201b is easier to display the goal scene later than the normal button image G201a, the "destroy button effect" in which the 3D button image G201b is displayed is a "drop in which the normal button image G201a is displayed. It functions as an effect that suggests that a jackpot game is more likely to be played than a button effect. In addition, the gold button image G201c is more likely to display a goal scene thereafter than the normal button image G201a or 3D button image G201b, so the "golden button effect" in which the normal button image G201a or 3D button image G201b is displayed It acts as an effect that suggests that the jackpot game is likely to be played. That is, in the order of the normal button image G201a <3D button image G201b <gold button image G201c, the jackpot expectation rate is high.

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “shake effect” immediately before the timings T1 to T4 in the “game reach”. The effect control microcomputer 121 selects whether or not to execute "shake effect" using the chance-up effect selection table shown in FIG. The selection ratio can be changed as appropriate.

  FIG. 38A to FIG. 38C are diagrams showing how “shake effect” is performed. As shown in FIG. 38A, when the game reach background image G116 and the live-up telop image G200 are displayed on the display unit 50a, immediately before reaching timings T1 to T4, as shown in FIG. 38B. Thus, the match reach background image G116 and the live telop image G200 are temporarily reduced (for example, 2 seconds). A black image is displayed in the space created by the reduction of the match reach background image G116. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 38C, the match reach background image G116 and the live-up telop image G200 are enlarged and return to the original state. At this time, "chance up effect" may be performed along with the expansion of the game reach background image G116. As described above, by linking “shake production” and “chance up presentation”, the effect of “game reach” is enhanced. The "shake effect" may be performed at part or all of the timings T1 to T4 or may not be performed at all of the timings T1 to T4.

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “chance suggestive effect” in the “game reach” when the “stock effect” of the stock A is performed in the “pre-game effect”. In the "chance suggestive presentation", the ball images G4a to G4d suggest that the "chance up presentation" may be performed.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 uses the ball image selection table shown in FIG. 43B to select the type of ball images G4a to G4d displayed in the “chance suggestive effect”. At the time of selection, the effect selected on the chance-up effect selection table (see FIG. 43A) is referred to. In addition, it is possible to change suitably about the display mode of a ball image, the kind of ball image, and a selection ratio.

  The ball images G4a to G4d include large ball images and small ball images having different display sizes. In addition, in the ball images G4a to G4d, numbers “1” to “4” are attached in association with the timings T1 to T4.

  39 (A) to 39 (F) are diagrams showing how "chance suggestive presentation" is performed. As shown in FIG. 39 (A), when “match reach” is started while the chance suggestion image G4 is displayed at the lower left portion of the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 39 (B), the chance suggestion The image G4 changes to four ball images G4a to G4d. Then, immediately before reaching timing T1, as shown in FIG. 39C, the ball image G4a (here, a large ball image) moves to the left center of the display unit 50a. At this time, the "chance up effect" of the chance A may be performed along with the movement of the ball image G4a. The ball image G4a is erased after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. Thereafter, immediately before reaching the timing T2, as shown in FIG. 39D, the ball image G4b (here, a small-ball image) moves to the left center of the display unit 50a. At this time, the "chance up effect" of the chance B may be performed along with the movement of the ball image G4b. The ball image G4b is erased after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. Thereafter, immediately before the timing T3 is reached, as shown in FIG. 39E, the ball image G4c (here, the large ball image) moves to the left center of the display unit 50a. At this time, the “chance up effect” of the chance C may be performed along with the movement of the ball image G4c. The ball image G4c is erased after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. Then, immediately before reaching timing T4, as shown in FIG. 39 (F), the ball image G4d (here, a small ball image) moves to the left center of the display unit 50a. At this time, the "chance up effect" of the chance D may be performed along with the movement of the ball image G4d. The ball image G4d is erased after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. By linking the ball images G4a to G4d and the "chance-up effect" in this manner, the effect of the "match reach" is enhanced.

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “chance up effect” at timings T1 to T4 in the “game reach”. There are four types of rendition of chances A to D in the "chance up production". The "chance up production" of chance A may be performed at timing T1, the "chance up production" of chance B may be performed at timing T2, and the "chance up production" of chance C may be timing T3. The chance increase presentation of chance D may be performed at timing T4. The effect control microcomputer 121 uses the chance-up effect selection table shown in FIG. 43 (A) to select whether or not to execute the “chance-up effect” of the chances A to D. In addition, about the production | presentation content of "a chance improvement presentation", a selection ratio, and an execution timing, it is possible to change suitably.

  In the “chance up effect” of the chance A, as shown in FIG. 40A, the icon image G6 is displayed on the match reach background image G116. In the “chance up effect” of the chance B, as shown in FIG. 40 (B), the frame image of the live telop image G200 changes to red. As shown in FIG. 40C, the logo movable body 57k is raised in the "chance up effect" of the chance C. As shown in FIG. 40 (D), in the “Dance-up presentation” of the chance D, the cut-in image G8 is displayed on the match reach background image G116. As described above, the effect of the "game reach" is enhanced by performing the "chance up effect" having different effect contents at a plurality of timings T1 to T4. In addition, "a chance up production" may be performed only a part of chances A to D or may not be performed any of chances A to D.

  FIGS. 41 (A) to 41 (H) are diagrams showing how “shake effect” and “chance up effect” of chances A to D are performed in conjunction with each other. As shown in FIG. 41 (A), if “shake production” is performed immediately before reaching timing T1, as shown in FIG. 41 (B) along with the enlargement of match reach background image G116 and live-action telop image G200. As such, the "a chance up presentation" of the chance A is performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 41C, if “shake production” is performed immediately before reaching timing T2, as the match reach background image G116 and the live telop image G200 are enlarged, FIG. 41D. As shown in, the chance B "up chance" is performed. Also, as shown in FIG. 41E, when “shake production” is performed immediately before reaching timing T3, as the match reach background image G116 and the live telop image G200 are enlarged, FIG. As shown in, “CHANNEL UP” of chance C is performed. Also, as shown in FIG. 41 (G), if “shake production” is performed immediately before reaching timing T4, as the match reach background image G116 and the live telop image G200 are enlarged, FIG. 41 (H) As shown in, “Dance-up production of Chance D” is performed.

  Here, the role of “shake production”, the roles of the ball images G4a to G4d displayed by the “chance suggestion effect”, and the roles of the large ball image and the small ball image will be described.

  The “shake production” functions as a production indicating that “chance up production” may be performed since “chance up production” may be performed after that. Also, since "shake increase effect" is more easily performed after "shake effect" is performed than when it is not performed, there is a high possibility that "chance increase effect" is performed. It also works as a suggestive effect. In addition, since “shake production” is sometimes performed when the result of the jackpot determination is “jackpot”, it also functions as a presentation that suggests that a jackpot game may be performed. In addition, "shake production" is more likely to be played if the result of the big hit determination is "losing" than when the result of the big hit determination is "big hit", suggesting that the big hit game is likely to be played. It also works as an effect.

  Since the ball image G4a may be moved to the left center of the display unit 50a, the "chance up effect" of the chance A may be performed, so it may indicate that the "chance up effect" of the chance A may be performed. Act as an image. Further, since the ball image G4b may be moved to the left center of the display unit 50a, the "chance up effect" of the chance B may be performed, so that the "chance up effect" of the chance B may be performed. It functions as a suggestive image. In addition, since the ball image G4c may be moved to the left center of the display unit 50a, the "chance up effect" of the chance C may be performed, so that the "chance up effect" of the chance C may be performed. It functions as a suggestive image. In addition, since the ball image G4d may be moved to the left center of the display unit 50a, the "chance up effect" of the chance D may be performed, so that the "chance up effect" of the chance D may be performed. It functions as a suggestive image.

  Further, since the “chance up effect” of chances A to D is more easily performed on the ball images G4a to G4d as the large ball images than the ball images G4a to G4d as the small ball images, the ball images G4a to G4d as the small ball images Also functions as an image that suggests that "chance up production" is likely to be performed. In addition, since “shake production” is easier to be performed on the ball images G4a to G4d as large ball images than the ball images G4a to G4d as small ball images, “shake production” is performed more than the ball images G4a to G4d as small ball images It also functions as an image that suggests that it is likely to be done.

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “button promotion effect” in the “game reach”. In the "button promotion effect", the type of the operation image G201 displayed in the "falling button effect" is suggested.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “button promotion effect” in the “game reach” when the “stock effect” of the stock B is executed in the “pre-game effect”. There are six types of “promotion pattern of button promotion”, promotion patterns A to F. Using the button promotion effect selection table shown in FIG. 44 (B), the effect control microcomputer 121 selects which of the promotion patterns A to F is to execute the “button promotion effect”. At the time of selection, the effect selected on the hit button effect selection table (see FIG. 44A) is referred to. The type and selection ratio of the promotion pattern can be appropriately changed.

  In the “button promotion effect”, any one of the normal button suggestion image G5a, the 3D button suggestion image G5b, and the gold button suggestion image G5c is finally displayed. The normal button suggestion image G5a is an image similar to the normal button image G201a, and when the normal button suggestion image G5a is finally displayed, the normal button image G201a is displayed in the "immediate button effect". The 3D button suggestion image G5b is an image similar to the 3D button image G201b, and when the 3D button suggestion image G5b is finally displayed, the 3D button image G201b is displayed with "immediate button effect". The gold button suggestion image G5c is an image similar to the gold button image G201c, and when the gold button suggestion image G5c is finally displayed, the gold button image G201c is displayed in the "immediate button effect".

  FIG. 44C is a diagram showing promotion pattern contents in the “button promotion effect”. After the button suggestion image G5 changes to the normal button suggestion image G5a in response to the start of the "game reach", the display mode may further change at timing T3 and timing T4. The promotion pattern A is a pattern in which the display mode does not change with the normal button suggested image G5a. The promotion pattern B is a pattern in which the display mode changes in the order of the normal button suggested image G5a, the normal button suggested image G5a, and the 3D button suggested image G5b. The promotion pattern C is a pattern in which the display mode changes in the order of the normal button suggested image G5a, the normal button suggested image G5a, and the gold button suggested image G5c. The promotion pattern D is a pattern in which the display mode changes in the order of the normal button suggestion image G5a → 3D button suggestion image G5b → 3D button suggestion image G5b. The promotion pattern E is a pattern in which the display mode changes in the order of the normal button suggestion image G5a → 3D button suggestion image G5b → gold button suggestion image G5c. The promotion pattern F is a pattern in which the display mode changes in the order of the normal button suggested image G5a → the gold button suggested image G5c → the gold button suggested image G5c. The timing at which the display mode changes can be changed as appropriate.

  FIGS. 42A to 42F are diagrams showing how the “button promotion effect” is performed. Here, the “button promotion effect” of the promotion pattern E will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 42 (A), when the “match reach” is started when the button suggestion image G5 is displayed in the lower right portion of the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 42 (B), the button The suggested image G5 changes to the normal button suggested image G5a. Thereafter, immediately before reaching the timing T3, as shown in FIG. 42C, the shutter image G202 is closed and the normal button suggestion image G5a becomes invisible. The shutter image G202 moves to open after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 42D, the normal button suggestion image G5a changes to a 3D button suggestion image G5b. Then, immediately before the timing T4 is reached, as shown in FIG. 42E, the shutter image G202 is closed and the 3D button suggested image G5b becomes invisible. The shutter image G202 moves to open after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 42 (F), the 3D button suggestion image G5b changes to a gold button suggestion image G5c. As described above, by changing the display mode of the button suggestion image G5, the effect of "game reach" is enhanced. Note that the movement that opens after the shutter image G202 is closed can be performed even when the display mode does not change.

  Here, the role of the “button promotion effect” of the promotion patterns A to F will be described. Since the normal button image G201a is displayed in the subsequent "falling button effect" of the promotion pattern A for the promotion pattern A that eventually becomes the normal button suggestion image G5a, the normal button image G201a is displayed in the "falling button effect". It functions as an effect that suggests that it is displayed (an effect that indicates that a jackpot game may be played). In addition, “promotion pattern B” for the promotion pattern B and for “promotion pattern D for promotion pattern D” that will eventually become the 3D button suggestion image G5 b is “3” button appearance because the 3D button image G 201 b is displayed in the subsequent “touch button effect” Functions as an effect that suggests that the 3D button image G201b is displayed (an effect that indicates that there is a high probability that a big hit game will be performed as compared with the "button promotion effect of the promotion pattern A"). In addition, “promotion pattern C”, “promotion pattern E”, and “promotion pattern E” of promotion pattern F, which finally become gold button suggestion image G5 c, are displayed as gold button image G 201 c is displayed in the subsequent “accident button effect”. A presentation that suggests that the gold button image G201c is displayed in the most likely button effect "(indicating that the jackpot game is more likely to be played than the" button promotion effect "of the promotion pattern A, promotion pattern B or promotion pattern D Function as

  Further, the effect that the shutter image G202 moves to close is that the display mode may change after the shutter image G202 moves to open, and thus functions as an effect to hear the change in the display mode.

  Next, the relationship between “shake production” and “chance up presentation” will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 executes "shake shake" and "chance up effect" in conjunction with each other, when only "shake action" is performed, and when only "chance up effect" is performed, There is. As described above, since "shake production" indicates that jackpot gaming is likely to be performed, expectations for jackpot gaming are increased at the time "shake presentation" is performed. . Furthermore, when the "chance up effect" is performed in conjunction with the "shake effect", the jackpot game is more easily performed than when only the "shake effect" is performed. It is getting higher.

  Next, the relationship between the “chance suggestion presentation” and the “shake presentation” and the “chance up presentation” will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the ball images G4a to G4d in the "chance suggestion effect" as the large ball images and in the small ball images when the "shake distribution" and the "chance up effect" are executed in conjunction with each other. There are times. As described above, since the ball images G4a to G4d as the large ball images are images that suggest that the possibility of the "shake production" or the "chance up effect" being performed is high, the ball images G4a to 4c as the large ball images When G4d is displayed, expectations for interlocking "shake production" and "chance up presentation" are increasing.

  Next, the relationship between "game reach" and "button promotion effect" will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 changes the display mode of the images (normal button suggestion image G5a, 3D button suggestion image G5b, gold button suggestion image G5c) in "button promotion effect" at timings T3 and T4 in "game reach". Sometimes. As described above, since the game development changes at timings T3 and T4 in "game reach", attention to "button promotion effect" is increased at the timing when the game development changes. Here, it is assumed that the display mode is more likely to be changed when developed into a superior scene, than when developed into a inferior scene, but the display mode changes when deployed to an inferior scene. It is also possible to make it easy.

<Effect of the embodiment>
Hereinafter, the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the embodiment will be described.

(1) Since "shake production" and "chance up presentation" may be performed in conjunction with each other, it is possible to create a novel presentation and enhance the interest of the game. In addition, since "chance up effect" may be performed on the game reach background image G116 in accordance with the expanding movement of the game reach background image G116 in "shake production", it becomes an integrated presentation, It is possible to enhance the interest.

(2) The probability that the jackpot game will be performed differs from each other when "shake production" and "chance up presentation" are performed in conjunction with each other only when "shake production" is performed, so "shake production" It is possible to pay attention to

(3) Since the contents of the effect (display of the 3D button image G201b and the gold button image G201c) of the "hit button effect" may be suggested by the "button promotion effect", attention may be paid to the "button promotion effect" It is possible. Moreover, since the normal button suggestion image G5a may change to the 3D button suggestion image G5b or the gold button suggestion image G5c in the "button promotion effect", it is possible to make the "button promotion effect" pay attention to the end.

(4) When the game development of "game reach" is expanded to the dominant scene, the button suggestion image G5 in the "button promotion effect" is easily changed to the 3D button suggestion image G5b or the gold button suggestion image G5c. It is possible to make changes easier to understand.

(5) In the "button promotion effect", since the normal button suggestion image G5a and the 3D button suggestion image G5b become invisible by the shutter image G202, it is possible to get an expectation for changes in the display mode.

(6) In the "match reach", "chance up effect" may be performed at a plurality of timings T1 to T4, so that "match reach" can be focused on. In addition, since the possibility for each “chance up presentation” is suggested by the “chance suggestion presentation”, it is possible to make the “match reach” focus on to the end.

(7) The probability of the "chance up effect" is different depending on the contents of the "chance suggestive effect", so that it is possible to pay attention to the "chance suggestive effect". Further, since the probability that "shake production" and "chance up production" are performed in conjunction with each other differs depending on the contents of the "chance suggestion production", it is possible to pay attention to the "chance suggestion production".

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

  In the embodiment, in the “shake production”, an operation of reducing and then enlarging the match reach background image G116 is performed, but the operation is not limited to this. For example, the game reach background image G116 may be rotated or slid.

  In the embodiment, the “chance-up effect” is performed along with the expansion of the game reach background image G116, but the “chance-up effect” is performed according to the reduction of the game reach background image G116. It is good.

  Also, in the embodiment, when "shake production" and "chance up effect" are performed in conjunction, the jackpot game is more easily performed than when only "shake production" is performed, but " The jackpot game may be performed more easily if only the shake effect is performed.

  Further, in the embodiment, in the “button promotion effect”, the display mode is changed in response to the change in the game development of “game reach”, but the opportunity is not limited to this. For example, the display mode may be changed in conjunction with “shake production”.

  In the embodiment, the normal button suggestion image G5a is displayed first in the “button promotion effect”, but the 3D button suggestion image G5b and the gold button suggestion image G5c are displayed from the beginning. Also good.

  In the embodiment, the ball images G4a to G4d are simultaneously displayed in the "chance suggestive effect", but may be displayed one by one in order.

  Further, in the embodiment, when a large ball image is displayed as the ball images G4a to G4d, "shake production" and "chance up effect" are more easily performed in conjunction than when a small ball image is displayed. However, the “shake effect” and the “chance up effect” may be performed more easily in the case where the small ball image is displayed.
