3. Next, the main game played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 14.

3-1. Games related to popular figures First, the games related to popular figures will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can execute 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 common drawing related determination information when the common drawing fluctuation start condition is established, in performing such a series of games (normal drawing lottery, variable display of common drawing, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 7A, the common drawing related determination information to be acquired includes a normal symbol random number. 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 a determination to determine whether a clash is made (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using a clash determination table as shown in FIG. 8A, for example. 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 determination 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. 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. The winning probability of winning can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. The common drawing fluctuation pattern determination and the common drawing variable display The common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment is a judgment for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern, for example, using the common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment table as shown in FIG. 8 (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 saving state and the time saving state. For example, in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stopping and displaying the common drawing of the lost (the common drawing) is determined to the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stop display of the common drawing, it is determined that the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds, for example. Moreover, in the time saving state, the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stopping and displaying the lost common drawing is determined as the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds, for example. As for the variable display of the figure, a common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds, for example, is determined. In addition, it is possible to change suitably about these common drawing fluctuation time.

  Then, variable display of the common drawing fluctuation time corresponding to the common drawing fluctuation pattern determined by the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination is performed by the common drawing display 82. 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 can be associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the auxiliary game, for example, using an auxiliary game control table as shown in FIG. 8C based on the gaming state (non-time-shorting state / time-shorting 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. The factors such as the number of times of opening and the opening time 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-time-shortened state, the electric chew 12D is opened for a first open time in which it is difficult to win the game ball in the electric chew 12D such as 0.2 seconds. On the other hand, in the auxiliary game in the time saving state, for example, the game ball is awarded to the electric chew 12D longer than the first opening time such as two 2.5 seconds opening on both sides of the 1.0 second interval (closing). The electric chow 12D is opened for a second opening time that is easy to cause.

  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." On the other hand, the auxiliary game in the time saving state is also referred to as "long open auxiliary game". In addition, the opening time in each auxiliary game is the total time in the auxiliary game, for example, open a plurality of times in one auxiliary game, such as opening again after an interval once closed and then closed once It may be configured as follows.

3-2. Next, the game related to the special drawing will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can execute the special figure 1 lottery when the fired game ball wins the first starting 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 displayed in a stop. 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. In addition, when the lost design 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 can execute the 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. Furthermore, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  In addition, in the following, the game ball winning in the first starting opening 11 is referred to as "establishment of the first starting condition", and the game ball winning in the second starting aperture 12 is satisfied of the second starting 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".

  Pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires special drawing related judgment information by establishment of starting condition in order to perform such a series of games (special drawing lottery, variable display of special drawing, big hit game, and setting of gaming state) And various determinations are made on the special map related determination information. As shown in FIG. 7 (B), there are special symbol random numbers, jackpot symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special pattern variation pattern random numbers in the special figure related determination information to be acquired. The special symbol random number is a random number (judgment information) for judging the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number (judgment information) for making a jackpot symbol type determination. The reach random number is a random number (determination information) for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number (determination information) for performing the variation pattern determination of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. Next, each determination performed using the special figure related determination information will be described.

3-2-1. Jackpot judgment Jackpot judgment is, for example, using a jackpot judgment table as shown in FIG. 9 (A) or FIG. 9 (B), whether it is jackpot or not (whether jackpot game is executed or not), in other words jackpot or It is to decide any of the loss. The jackpot determination table is used in a jackpot determination table (hereinafter referred to as a "first jackpot determination table") used in jackpot determination based on a winning to the first starting opening 11 and in a jackpot determination based on winning in the second starting opening 12 There is a jackpot determination table (hereinafter, referred to as “second jackpot determination table”). Then, each of the jackpot determination tables associated with the type of starting opening further includes a jackpot judgment table (first jackpot judgment table for normal probability, second jackpot judgment table for normal probability) used in the normal probability state, and a high probability There are a jackpot determination table (first jackpot determination table for high probability, second jackpot determination table for high probability) used in the state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the variable display of the special view 1 is executed when winning in the first start opening 11, and the variable display of the special view 2 is executed when winning in the second start opening 12. Therefore, it can be said that the first jackpot determination table is a jackpot determination table for Special Figure 1 and the second jackpot determination table is a jackpot determination table for Special Figure 2.

  In each first jackpot determination table associated with the gaming state, the judgment value (special symbol random number judgment value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot which is the result of the jackpot judgment and the loss. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the first jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 9A, the special symbol random number determination value determined to be a big hit is set more for the high probability first jackpot determination table than for the normal probability first jackpot determination table.

  Further, in each second jackpot determination table associated with the gaming state, the judgment value (special symbol random number judgment value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot which is the result of the jackpot judgment and the loss. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the second jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 9 (B), the special symbol random number determination value determined to be a big hit is set more for the high probability second jackpot determination table than for the normal probability second jackpot determination table.

  In addition, it is possible to change suitably about how to allocate the special symbol random number determination value with respect to the determination result of the jackpot probability and the various jackpot determinations.

3-2-2. Big hit symbol type determination If the result of the big hit decision is a big hit, for example, the big hit symbol type determination (big hit symbol type) is determined using the big hit symbol type judgment table as shown in FIG. 9C. It is to be. The jackpot symbol type can be associated with a jackpot component (content advantageous to the player) composed of the contents of the jackpot, in other words, the game bonus given 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 several types of jackpot designs that can be set. In each jackpot symbol type determination table, the judgment value (jackpot symbol type random number judgment value) for jackpot symbol type random number is distributed to jackpot symbol types that are results of jackpot symbol type determination. 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. And, in the first big hit symbol type judgment table and the second big hit symbol type judgment table, the big hit symbol type random number judgment value is appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols.

  The big hit symbol of the special figure 1 and the big hit symbol of the special figure 2 can be set appropriately, but for example, the big hit symbol of the special figure 1 like the big hit symbol type judgment table shown in FIG. 9 (C) As the jackpot symbol A, jackpot symbol B, and jackpot symbol C three types of jackpot symbols are provided, as jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, jackpot symbol D, jackpot symbol E, and jackpot symbol F three types of jackpot symbols It can be provided. Then, as in the big hit symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 9C, 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 determination value is appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols ing. In addition, about the distribution ratio of jackpot symbol type, it is possible to change suitably. In addition, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

3-2-3. Reach determination reach determination determines whether or not reach is to be generated in a special figure fluctuation effect to be described later using a reach determination table as shown in FIG. 9D, for example, when the result of the big hit determination is a loss It is to be.

  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 value (reach random number determination value) is distributed to the reach determination results “reach (generate reach)” and “no reach (do not generate reach)”. There is. 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. 9D, the number of reach random number determination values determined to be "reach (reach is generated)" may be different between the non-time-shortening reach determination table and the time-shortening reach determination table. It is possible. In addition, in the following, the result of reach determination performed on the premise that the result of the big hit determination is "loss" "reach with (to generate reach)" is referred to as "reach with a loss", "no reach ( There is also a case that "no reach is lost".

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment / special figure variable display Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment, in the case of the result of the big hit judgment is either a big hit or a loss, for example, the fluctuation pattern judgment table of the special symbol as shown in Figure 10-Figure 11 This is to determine the variation pattern (special figure variation pattern) of the variable display of the special figure by using (special figure variation pattern determination table).

  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, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table includes the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 10) 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. 11) used when performing.

  And each special figure fluctuation pattern decision table, it is possible to be related to 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 view fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state (non-short time state / short time state) can be further associated with the big hit determination result, the big hit type determination result, and the reach determination result. That is, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for non-short time and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for time short have the one for the big hit symbol A, the big hit symbol B and C, the reach presence loss, and the no reach loss, respectively. . Similarly, for the special pattern 2 variation pattern determination table for non-short time and the special pattern 2 variation pattern determination table for time short, for big hit symbol D, big hit symbol E, F, reach presence loss, and no reach loss is there.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reach-less loss associated with the gaming state can also be associated with the special figure 1 reservation number. 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. Similarly, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reach-less loss associated with the gaming state can also be associated with the special figure 2 holding number. 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. And, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (the result of the special symbol lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not performed immediately, and the big hit game is subsequently executed. Ru.

  In addition, it is possible to associate each special figure fluctuation pattern with a special figure fluctuation presentation flow as shown in the third column from the right in the table of FIGS. Here, representative effects that constitute an effect flow of the special image fluctuation effect associated with the special image fluctuation pattern will be described.

  There are normal fluctuation, reach, normal reach (N reach), long reach (L reach), special reach (SP reach), and battle effect as the effects making up the special pattern fluctuation effect producing flow.

  As for normal fluctuation, it is suggested that the production design which had been stopped and started to fluctuate, and the variable display of the special figure was started with the variable display of high speed to the extent that each one constituting each production design was difficult to recognize It is an effect that And special figure fluctuation production (the part from the fluctuation start of fluctuation of production design to fluctuation stop) which relates to no reach losing fluctuation, and the part until reach in the special figure fluctuation production where reach occurs is established fluctuation May be composed of

  N reach is normally maintained for a predetermined period of time (for example, 10 seconds) at the position where the rendering design that constitutes the reach has temporarily stopped, for example, immediately after the reach is established (confirmed) through normal fluctuation. The effect pattern is decelerating, and it is an effect that fluctuates at a lower speed than normal fluctuation. The jackpot expectation suggested by N reach is usually higher than fluctuation, and lower than L reach and SP reach described later. When special figure fluctuation production ends with N reach, the remaining 1 production design which fluctuates with that low speed stops. In the case of a loss, the remaining one production pattern is stopped with a different production pattern from that of the reach pattern. When special figure fluctuation production is not finished with N reach, the remaining one production design fluctuates at high speed again, develops from N reach to L reach or SP reach (switch) while the reach is maintained.

  The L reach is a feasible presentation after the N reach, and is performed for a longer time than the N reach, suggesting that the jackpot expectation is higher than the N reach. Even in the L reach, the established reach is maintained, but at the same time the effect design that constitutes the reach is reduced and the left effect design EZ1 described later is displayed on the upper left of the display unit 50a and the right effect design EZ3 is displayed In the state of moving to the upper right of the unit 50a, the background image for L reach is switched (image for L reach is streamed). In L reach, an animation image by 2DCG is mainly displayed on the display unit 50a. As the effect contents of L reach, a scene in which the main character performs special training in order to acquire a special move is displayed (a video to be trained flows in the display unit 50a).

  The SP reach is a viable instruction after the N reach, and is performed for a longer time than the L reach, suggesting that the jackpot expectation is higher than the L reach. Even in the SP reach, the established reach is maintained, but at the same time the effect design that constitutes the reach is reduced and a predetermined position (for example, the left effect design EZ1 described later is displayed on the upper left of the display unit 50a and the right effect design EZ3 is displayed In the state of having moved to the upper right of the unit 50a, the background image for SP reach is switched to (a video for SP reach flows). In addition, SP reach is performed for a longer time than L reach. In the SP reach, a 3DCG image is mainly displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, a scene in which the A team to which the main character belongs and the B team to which the rival of the main character belongs is displayed as the effect contents of the SP reach (a video to be played flows on the display unit 50a).

  The battle effect is an effect that can be performed after reaching in the time saving state, and is an effect that suggests that the jackpot expectation is higher than the normal fluctuation. Even in the battle effect, the established reach is maintained, but the effect symbols constituting the reach are reduced and the predetermined position (for example, the left effect pattern EZ1 is at the upper left of the display unit 50a, the right effect pattern EZ3 is the display unit 50a In the state of moving to the upper right of), it switches to a background image dedicated to battle rendering (a video dedicated to battle rendering flows). In the battle effect, a 3DCG image is mainly displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, a scene in which the A team to which the main character belongs and the B team to which the rival of the main character belongs is displayed as the effect contents of the SP reach (a video to be played flows on the display unit 50a).

  In addition, in "the state where the reach is maintained" in N reach, L reach, SP reach, and battle production, the production design which forms reach in the said N reach, L reach, SP reach, and battle production is indicator 50a In addition to the visual recognition state, for example, in a relationship with a dedicated background image, a rendering pattern that constitutes the reach includes a state in which visual recognition is difficult or invisible from the display unit 50a. In addition, the contents of normal fluctuation, N reach, L reach, SP reach, and battle effects can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the effects that make up the special figure fluctuation effect are not limited to these, and can be added or reduced as appropriate.

  Also, as shown in the second column from the right in the table of FIGS. 10 to 11, with regard to the special figure fluctuation pattern, attach a name in association with the special figure (big hit judgment result) and special contents of the special figure fluctuation effect. There is. Then, the special figure fluctuation pattern relating to the jackpot may be collectively referred to as "big hit fluctuation", and the special figure fluctuation pattern relating to the loss may be collectively referred to as "loss fluctuation".

  Furthermore, regardless of the jackpot judgment result, the special figure fluctuation pattern in which SP reach is performed is "SP reach fluctuation", the special figure fluctuation pattern in which L reach is performed is "L reach fluctuation", and the special figure fluctuation with N reach The special pattern variation pattern that the production ends may be generically referred to as "N reach variation". In addition, the change in loss with reach is referred to as "reach with change in reach", and the change in loss without reach may be collectively referred to as "normal change in change".

3-2-5. Pre-reading determination Before the jackpot determination is performed, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using, for example, a pre-reading determination table as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 13 based on the acquired special drawing related determination information. The look-ahead judgment table indicates the type of the starting opening (first starting opening 11 / second starting opening 12) related to the starting winning combination, in other words, the type of special view variably displayed by the starting winning combination (special figure 1 / special drawing It is possible to relate to 2). That is, in the pre-read determination table, the first pre-read determination table (FIG. 12) in the case where the variable display of the special view 1 is won and the second start opening 12 is paid There is a second pre-reading determination table (FIG. 13) when the variable display of 2 is performed. The prefetch determination performed based on the first prefetch determination table is also referred to as “first prefetch determination”, and the prefetch determination performed based on the second prefetch determination table is also referred to as “second prefetch determination”.

  The prefetch determination table can also be associated with the gaming state (normal gaming state / high probability high base gaming state / low probability high base gaming state) described later. That is, in the prefetch determination table, a prefetch determination table (normal gaming state prefetch determination table) used in the normal gaming state and a prefetch determination table (high probability high base gaming) used in the high probability high base gaming state There are a state prefetching determination table) and a prefetching determination table (low probability high base gaming state prefetching determination table) used in the low probability high base gaming state.

  That is, in the pre-reading determination table, the first pre-reading determination table used in the normal gaming state, the first pre-reading determination table used in the high probability high base gaming state, and the low probability high base gaming state The first look-ahead determination table used, the second look-ahead determination table used in the normal gaming state, the second look-ahead determination table used in the high probability high base gaming state, and the low probability high base gaming state And a second pre-read determination table used for

  In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern which concerns on the variable display of the special figure performed by the said starting winning combination is pinpointed by the prefetch determination using the prefetch determination table shown to FIGS. 12-13. That is, before the variable display of the special drawing based on the winning is performed, the special drawing fluctuation pattern according to the variable display of the special drawing is specified as the prefetch determination result. Then, the pre-read determination result including information on the special map fluctuation pattern is associated with the start winning command. Note that what information is specified as the pre-reading determination result can be changed as appropriate.

  As described above, by performing the jackpot determination, the jackpot symbol type determination, the reach determination, and the special view fluctuation pattern determination, the special view variable display of the special view display 81 is performed. Then, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (the result of the special symbol lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not performed, and the big hit game is subsequently executed. Next, the jackpot game will be described.

3-3. Jackpot game

  The jackpot game is a round game with multiple round games with opening and closing of the big winning opening 14 and an opening (also referred to as OP) from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round game, and the final round game Ending from the end of the jackpot to the end of the jackpot game (also denoted as ED) and. 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.

  In addition, it is possible not to provide OP and ED. Also, in the following, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as "round". For example, the first round game may be referred to as "one round (1R)" and the tenth round game may be referred to as "10 round (10R)".

  Then, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using the jackpot game control table. One or more types of jackpot games can be set, and a jackpot game control table is set for each jackpot game type.

  The jackpot game control table stores elements (jackpot game components) constituting the jackpot game. In the jackpot game components, the number of round games, the number of opening of the large winning opening 14 in each round game, the type and opening time (opening pattern) of the large winning opening where each opening is performed, the time to close until the next opening It includes (closing time), opening time (opening time), and ending time (ending time). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can control a jackpot game using, for example, a jackpot game control table as shown in FIG. 14 (A). That is, it is possible to set the type of jackpot game as shown in FIG. 14 (A) and the jackpot game components for each jackpot game. Here, the first jackpot game to the fourth jackpot game set in FIG. 14 (A) will be described.

  In the jackpot game (hereinafter, also referred to as “first jackpot game”) associated with the jackpot symbol A, 10 round games are played. And, in each round game from 1R to 10R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game. In addition, there is an opening in which the large winning opening 14 is kept closed for 10.0 seconds from when the first jackpot game is started until the first round game is started. Furthermore, there is an ending in which the closing state of the big winning opening 14 is held for 15.0 seconds from the end of the last round game to the end of the first jackpot game.

  In the jackpot game (hereinafter, also referred to as "second jackpot game") associated with the jackpot symbols B and C, five round games are played. And, in each round game from 1R to 5R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game. In addition, there is an opening in which the large winning opening 14 is kept closed for 10.0 seconds from when the second jackpot game is started until the first round game is started. Furthermore, there is an ending in which the closed state of the big winning opening 14 is held for 15.0 seconds from the end of the last round game to the end of the second jackpot game.

  In the jackpot game (hereinafter, also referred to as “third jackpot game”) associated with the jackpot symbol D, 16 round games are played. And, in each round game from 1R to 16R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game. In addition, there is an opening in which the large winning opening 14 is kept closed for 10.0 seconds from the start of the third jackpot game to the start of the first round game. Furthermore, there is an ending in which the closing state of the big winning opening 14 is held for 15.0 seconds from the end of the last round game to the end of the third jackpot game.

  In the jackpot game (hereinafter, also referred to as "fourth jackpot game") associated with the jackpot symbols E and F, four round games are played. And, in each round game from 1R to 4R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game. In addition, there is an opening in which the large winning opening 14 is kept closed for 10.0 seconds from when the fourth jackpot game is started until the first round game is started. Furthermore, there is an ending in which the closing state of the big winning opening 14 is held for 15.0 seconds from the end of the last round game to the end of the fourth jackpot game.

  In each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the large winning opening sensor 14a, even before the maximum opening time of the large winning opening 14 has elapsed, The winning opening 14 is closed to end the round game. Also, the type and specific contents of the jackpot game component can be changed as appropriate.

  Furthermore, which type of jackpot game is to be executed may be determined by, for example, the type of jackpot symbol. Further, for example, a device capable of distributing to two winning openings in the game area 6 is provided, and when winning in one winning opening, only a big hit game consisting of a predetermined number of round games is executed, while winning in the other winning opening Either a jackpot game consisting of more than a predetermined number of round games or a jackpot game consisting of less than a predetermined number of round games may be executed with a predetermined probability by lottery or the like.

3-4. Next, a gaming state in which the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can be controlled will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a jackpot gaming state in which a jackpot game with the opening of the big winning opening 14 is being executed, and a non-jackpot gaming state in which the jackpot game is not executed. The non-big hit gaming state includes a normal gaming state, which is a basic base gaming state, and a specific gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. The elements that are "advantage to the player" related to the specific gaming state include the jackpot winning probability and the ease of opening the second starting opening 12. That is, it is possible to associate the jackpot winning probability with the specific gaming state with the ease of opening the second starting opening 12.

  The advantage to the player regarding the jackpot winning probability is that the jackpot winning probability becomes higher than that in the normal gaming state, and jackpot winning becomes easier. In addition, with regard to the ease of opening the second starting opening 12 the advantage for the player is that the ease of opening the second starting opening 12 is higher than in the normal gaming state, and the opening of the second starting opening 12 per unit time It means that time will be longer.

  Then, as the specific gaming state, only the first specific gaming state advantageous to the player for the jackpot winning probability and the opening time per unit time of the second starting opening 12 only the jackpot probability for the player is advantageous. Only the second specific gaming state and the open time per unit time of the second starting opening 12 can be set to three types of the third specific gaming state advantageous to the player. Note that it is possible to mount a part of the three types of specified gaming states without mounting all of these three types of specified gaming states in the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

  Here, as the local gaming state focusing on the jackpot winning probability, the jackpot winning probability is higher than the normal gaming state, and a state advantageous to the player regarding the jackpot winning probability is referred to as a “high probability state”. On the other hand, the jackpot winning probability is a normal probability in the normal gaming state, and a state not advantageous to the player with respect to the jackpot winning probability is called a "normal probability state".

  In addition, as a local gaming state focusing on the opening time of the second starting opening 12 per unit time, the opening time of the second starting opening 12 per unit time is longer than that of the normal gaming state. A state where the ease of opening is advantageous to the player is called "time saving state". On the other hand, the opening time of the second starting opening 12 per unit time is the opening time in the normal gaming state, and the state in which the ease of opening the second starting opening 12 is not advantageous for the player State.

  Here, the non-time-short state and the time-short state will be described in detail. As described above, the short time state has a longer opening time of the electric tube 12D per unit time than the non-short time state. That is, the time saving state is a state in which the second starting opening 12 is more easily winning than the non-time saving state. Here, a specific method for making the second starting opening 12 more easily winning in the time saving state than in the non-time saving state will be described.

  For example, by setting the time saving state to be a state in which the common drawing fluctuation time is likely to be shorter than the non-time saving state, it is possible to easily make the second starting opening 12 win in the time saving state. For example, as described above, regardless of the result of the collision judgment, in the time saving state, the spread time (5.0 seconds) shorter than the spread time (30.0 seconds) determined in the non-short state is Let it be decided. As a result, in the time saving state, the number of times the common drawing lottery is executed per unit time is increased. In this case, regardless of the difference between the non-time-shortened state and the time-shortened state, if the probability of winning in the hit judgment and the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game are the same, the common drawing lottery per unit time As the number of times of execution is large, the open time of the electric chew 12D per unit time becomes longer.

  In addition, by making the time saving state a state in which the open time of the electric chow 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time saving state, it is possible to easily make the second starting opening 12 win in the time saving state. . For example, as described above, in the non-short state, the electric chew 12D is open for 0.2 seconds in one auxiliary game, whereas in the short state, the electric chew 12D is 5.0 in total in one auxiliary game Make it open for seconds. In this case, regardless of the difference between the non-time-saving state and the time-saving state, if the probability of winning in the win determination and the spread map fluctuation time are the same, the number of times the auxiliary game is executed per unit time becomes equal. The opening time of the electric chew 12D in the auxiliary game is longer, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time is longer.

  Furthermore, by making the time saving state more likely to be determined as a hit in the hit determination as compared to the non-time saving state, it is possible to make the second starting opening 12 more easily winning in the time saving state. For example, as described above, in the non-time-short state, it is determined to be a hit with a probability of 6600/65536 in the hit determination, while in the time-short state, it is determined to be a hit with a probability of 59936/65536 in the hit determination. . In this case, regardless of the difference between the non-time-saving state and the time-saving state, the probability that it is determined that the hit is determined to be a hit in the hit determination is the same. Since the number of collision determinations per unit time is increased, the open time of the electric heater 12D per unit time is increased.

  As described above, in the time saving state, it is easier to win a hit than the non-time saving state, the spread diagram fluctuation time tends to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric chow 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer. By satisfying the three conditions, the open time of the electric torch 12D per unit time becomes longer in the short time state than in the non-short time state, and it is possible to facilitate the winning of the second start port 12. As a result, the so-called "base", which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls, is increased. Therefore, in the high time saving state of the base, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of gaming balls possessed as compared with the normal gaming state. That is, it can be said that the time saving state is more advantageous for the player than the non-time saving state.

  In the time saving state, only a part of the conditions may be aligned without all the three conditions for increasing the opening time per unit time of the second starting port 12 being uniform. Finally, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chow 12D per unit time may be longer than in the non-time saving state, and the winning of the second starting opening 12 may be facilitated.

  Also, in the time saving state, the special pattern variation pattern having a short special pattern variation time can be easily selected as compared to the non-time short status, and the number of times of performing special figure variable display per unit time is small. The average of the figure fluctuation time may be lowered. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace at which the special figure retention is absorbed is quickened, and it becomes easy to generate effective winning to the starting opening (a prize that can be stored as special figure retention). Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

  In the following, the first specific gaming state is "high probability high base gaming state" and the second specific gaming state is "high probability low" in relation to the content of the advantage to the player about each specific gaming state The base gaming state "and the third specific gaming state are also referred to as" low probability high base gaming state ". Furthermore, the normal gaming state is also referred to as "low probability low base gaming state".

  Therefore, it can be said that the low probability low base gaming state is a gaming state controlled in the normal probability state and the non-short time state. Similarly, the low probability high base gaming state is controlled in the normal probability state and the short time state, the high probability low base gaming state is the high probability state and the non time saving state, and the high probability high base gaming state is the high probability state and the short time state It can be said that there is a gaming state.

  Thus, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can be controlled in the low probability low base gaming state, the low probability high base gaming state, the high probability low base gaming state, the high probability high base gaming state, and the big hit gaming state. In the big hit game state, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a long time, and a large number of game balls can be obtained, so the big hit game state can be said to be a game state advantageous to the player. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state and the specific gaming state can also be referred to as an “advantage gaming state” that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state.

  In the high probability high base gaming state, and the high probability low base gaming state, the gaming state which is more advantageous to the player than the low probability low base gaming state in that the jackpot winning probability is higher than the normal probability state. It is. Also, the high probability high base gaming state, and the low probability high base gaming state are advantageous to the player over the low probability low base gaming state in that the easiness of winning to the second starting opening 12 is higher than the non-time saving state. It is a gaming state. Furthermore, in the jackpot gaming state, since the large winning opening 14 having a larger number of winning balls per one winning than the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12 is opened, the jackpot gaming state is low probability low base gaming The game state is more advantageous to the player than the state.

  Further, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the normal gaming state is first set. The jackpot gaming state is set by the stop display of the jackpot symbol. On the other hand, the specific gaming state is set by the jackpot winning and the jackpot game being executed. Next, setting of the specific gaming state will be described.

3-5. Setting of specific gaming state The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can newly set the specific gaming state with the end of the big hit game. That is, after the jackpot game, the game can be controlled and progressed in the specific gaming state. The duration of this specific gaming state can be set as appropriate. For example, the specific gaming state can be continued until the next jackpot is won. Also, the period during which the specific gaming state can be continued can be limited.

  In the case where the duration of the specific gaming state is limited, the specific gaming state can be terminated when the end condition for the duration is established. Then, when the specific gaming state ends, the normal gaming state can be set. In addition, with regard to the high probability high base gaming state, the low probability high base gaming state or the high probability low base gaming state may be set when the ending condition is satisfied. In this case, the newly set low probability high base gaming state or high probability low base gaming state may be continued until the next jackpot is won. The same or different end conditions may be provided for the newly set low probability high base gaming state or high probability low base gaming state, and the normal gaming state may be set when the end condition is satisfied.

  Further, the termination condition for the duration of the specific gaming state can be set as appropriate. As the end condition, for example, the number of times of execution of the special view variable display can be set. Moreover, it is not limited to the number of times of execution of the special view variable display, whether the elapsed time after the big hit game, the number of shot balls of the gaming ball after the big hit game, the number of times of passing to the gate 13 after the big hit game, or the specific gaming state is ended Derivation of the result to be ended in the lottery whether or not can be set as the end condition. Furthermore, these elements may be set as termination conditions alone or in combination.

  In addition, these end conditions may be set to the same for all the specific gaming states that can be set after the big hit game, and set for some of the specific gaming states among the settable specific gaming states You may. Furthermore, the termination condition may be different for each specific gaming state.

  Further, the specific gaming state to be controlled after the jackpot game, the presence or absence of the termination condition, and the content of the termination condition can be associated with the jackpot symbol type relating to the jackpot game. For example, as described above, when the jackpot symbol type is set, as shown in FIG. 14 (B), jackpot symbol A, jackpot symbol B, jackpot symbol D, or jackpot symbol E according to jackpot game is high after the end The game may be controlled in the probability high base gaming state. Here, the high probability high base gaming state can be allowed to continue until the jackpot is won without providing the termination condition. Furthermore, after the end of the jackpot game related to the jackpot symbol C and the jackpot symbol F, the game may be controlled in the low probability high base gaming state. Here, an end condition can be provided for the low probability and high base gaming state, and the special condition variable display of 100 times can be set as the end condition. The relationship between the jackpot type symbol and the specific gaming state to be controlled after the jackpot game, the presence or absence of the termination condition, and the content of the termination condition is an example, and is not limited thereto.

  In addition, paying attention to the game profit of the jackpot, the jackpot that the game progresses in the high probability state after the jackpot game is also referred to as "high probability jackpot". Furthermore, a jackpot in which a game progresses in a high probability state and a short time state after a jackpot game is also referred to as a "probable jackpot". In addition, a jackpot that allows the game to proceed in the normal probability state and the time saving state after the jackpot game is also referred to as a "time jackpot jackpot".

4. Next, the 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, the special view variable display is 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" It is an effect mode that can be set when there is no, and it is a standby state in which the special view variable display 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. 15A, a customer waiting demonstration video G100 for introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In addition, when the first effect button 40k is operated while the customer waiting demonstration video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 15B, a setting screen G101 for setting for the effect of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. 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, and frequency setting of the effect to be performed. In addition, the item of the setting regarding presentation can be set suitably. Further, the setting screen G101 can be prevented from being displayed by the operation of the player from the customer waiting demonstration video G100.

  The normal effect mode is an effect mode that can be set in the “low probability and low base gaming state” and indicates that the normal gaming state is in effect. Further, a plurality of lower effect modes belonging to the normal effect mode can be provided. For example, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (FIG. 16A: first normal background image G111) representing a view of a city is displayed on the display unit 50a as an effect mode of a lower layer belonging to the normal effect mode. , A second normal effect mode in which a background image (FIG. 16B: second background image G112 for normal use) representing the ground of a baseball stadium is displayed in the display unit 50a, and a background image (inside a restaurant) in the display unit 50a FIG. 16C: A third normal rendering mode or the like in which a third background image for normal use G113) is displayed can be provided. Note that, in the following, the effect mode of the lower hierarchy that belongs to the effect mode is also referred to as a “effect stage”.

  As described above, when a plurality of effect stages belonging to the normal effect mode are provided, the effect stages can be repeatedly switched in order if a predetermined switching condition is satisfied. Although the switching condition can be set as appropriate, for example, it is possible to set that one or a plurality of special figure variable effects are performed without winning a jackpot as the switching condition. Furthermore, it is possible to set, as a switching condition, that a specific effect such as a special figure fluctuation effect based on SP reach fluctuation is executed.

  In addition, as described later, reach may occur in the special figure fluctuation production, but in the special figure fluctuation production, all sections of the special figure fluctuation production when the reach does not occur and reach when the reach occurs are established It can be divided into a front part before the end and a rear part after the reach is established when the reach occurs. The former part is constituted by the above-mentioned "normal fluctuation".

  Then, when the normal rendering mode is set, the first background image for general use G111, the second background image for general use G112, and the third background image for general use G113 are displayed in the front part. On the other hand, in the latter part, the first normal background image G111, the second normal background image G112 and the third normal background image G113 are not displayed, and a dedicated background image according to the type of reach in the normal rendering mode is Is displayed.

  Note that a dedicated background image according to the type of reach in the normal rendering mode may be a background image common to the normal rendering mode regardless of the type of the rendering stage, or may be a different background image for each of the rendering stages.

  Further, the normal effect mode may be set also in the "high probability and low base gaming state", and the normal effect mode may be an effect mode indicating that the non-time-shortening state is set. Alternatively, a predetermined effect mode different from the normal effect mode may be provided only in the “high probability and low base gaming state”. Furthermore, in the low probability low base gaming state and the high probability low base gaming state generated under a certain condition, a predetermined effect mode different from the normal effect mode may be set.

  The probability change effect mode is an effect mode that can be set in the “high probability high base gaming state” and indicates that it is a high probability high base gaming state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (D), a background image (probability variation background image G120) representing space is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a probability variation BGM is output from the speaker 52. Furthermore, even in the probability variation effect mode, the probability variation background image G120 is displayed in the front part of the special figure variation effect similarly to the normal effect mode. Then, in the latter part of the special figure variation production, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach in the probability variation production mode is displayed.

  The time reduction effect mode can be set in the "low probability high base gaming state" or the "high probability high base gaming state", and is either the low probability high base gaming state or the high probability high base gaming state, and at least a short time It is an effect mode which shows that it is a state. In the time-saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16E, a background image (time-saving background image G130) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a time-saving BGM is output from the speaker 52. Furthermore, even in the time-saving effect mode, the time-saving background image G130 is displayed in the front part of the special figure fluctuation effect as in the normal effect mode. Then, in the latter part of the special figure variation effect, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach in the time reduction effect mode is displayed.

  In addition, the time-saving effect mode can be set to an effect mode indicating that the low probability high base gaming state is set only in the low probability high base gaming state.

  In addition, in either or both of the probability variation production mode and the time reduction production mode, as in the case of the normal production mode, a plurality of presentation stages for the presentation mode are further provided, and when a predetermined switching condition is satisfied, the presentation stages are switched You may

  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. 17A, in the display unit 50a, an opening image G1 indicating the start of the jackpot game and a right-handed image G2 prompting "right-handed" A jackpot opening rendition is performed where is displayed. In addition, during the round game in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 17 (B), in the display unit 50a, a round image G3 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G4 suggesting the number of prize balls paid out The round effect to be displayed is performed. Furthermore, during the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 17C, in the display unit 50a, suggesting the ending image G5 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total prize balls paid out A jackpot ending effect is performed in which a total prize ball number image G6 is displayed.

  In addition, in the following, the jackpot opening presentation, the round presentation, and the jackpot ending presentation are collectively referred to as a "big hit gaming presentation" as a presentation to be executed in the big hit game. That is, a big hit game effect is performed in the big hit effect mode.

4-2. Next, the special figure fluctuation presentation will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the variable display of the special drawing, the special drawing fluctuation pattern and the special drawing lottery result (big hit judgment result, big hit 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, it is also possible to use images other than the fluctuation display of a production | presentation pattern in the special figure fluctuation production performed by the display part 50a. Furthermore, in addition to the image display device 50 including the display unit 50a, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the panel movable device 55, the first effect button device 40, and the second effect button device 41 It is possible to perform figure fluctuation production.

  First, the effect symbol displayed on the display unit 50a in the special view change effect performed according to the special view variable display, and the effect symbol display area for displaying the effect symbol will be described. The specific configuration of the effect pattern can be set as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 is an area for displaying the effect pattern, and the left, center and right sides are obtained by dividing the display unit 50a into three substantially equally in the horizontal direction. A left effect symbol area 50b1, a middle effect pattern area 50b2, and a right effect pattern area 50b3 are provided in each of them. The left effect pattern area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect pattern EZ1 mainly at the time of the stop display of the effect pattern in the special figure fluctuation effect. Similarly, the middle effect pattern area 50b2 and the right effect pattern area 50b3 are areas for mainly displaying the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3. As described above, the effect pattern displayed on the display unit 50a in the special figure change effect can be configured by three effect patterns EZ1 to EZ3.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 18 (A), it is possible to provide the small symbol area | region 50c in one division of the left end (lower left corner) of the lower end part of the display part 50a. Then, when the special view variable display is being performed, the small design KZ1 to KZ3 can be variably displayed in the small symbol area 50c according to the special view variable display.

  In FIG. 18A, 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 alternate long and short dashed lines, but these are left effect symbol area 50b1, It is described to represent the range of the middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c, and is not actually displayed.

  Further, as described above, as the effects constituting the flow of the special figure change effect, there are normal change, N reach, L reach, SP reach, and battle effect. Here, some of these will be described.

4-2-1. 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. Next, the normal fluctuation will be specifically described.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, in the display unit 50a, the left production symbol EZ1, the middle production symbol EZ2, and the right production symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small When the variable display of the special view is started from the state where the special display is not displayed, and the special display is waiting for the variable display of the special view, the display of FIG. 18 (B) is started. As shown in, the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the start. Specifically, the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 is started, 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 variable display of the special view (special view In conjunction with the stop display of (1), the stop display of the effect designs EZ1 to EZ3 is performed with a missing eye (so-called “barache eye”) specific to a no reach loss.

  For example, at first, as shown in FIG. 18 (C), the left effect design EZ1 is temporarily stopped at a substantially central position in the vertical direction toward the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 and then is shown in FIG. 18 (D) Thus, the right effect pattern EZ3 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction, and further, as shown in FIG. 18E, the middle effect pattern EZ2 is temporarily stopped at the substantially central position in the vertical direction.

  Then, finally, as shown in FIG. 18 (F), the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 temporarily stopped in a state of being lined horizontally at the substantially central position in the vertical direction completely stop all at once, and the stops are stopped. It decides (stop display of production design EZ1-EZ3 is done). The three small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 and the production symbols EZ1 to EZ3 are generated when the temporary stopped production symbols EZ1 to EZ3 are completely stopped at the loose end, that is, when the stop display of the production symbols EZ1 to EZ3 is performed. It stops at the same time in the same barrage, and the stop display of the small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is also performed.

  In the example of FIG. 18, when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1 to 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 they are temporarily stopped An aspect is not restricted to this, It can set up suitably.

  On the other hand, if the special view change pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view change pattern of the loss with reach (for example, the N loss change), as shown in 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 figure is started, and as shown in FIG. 19 (B), the variable display of the production symbols EZ1 to EZ3 starts, and the variable display of the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 Starts.

  Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 19 (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. 19 (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 of FIG. 19, when reach is established, the rendering symbol is temporarily stopped in the order of left rendering symbol EZ 1 → right rendering symbol EZ 3, but the mode of temporary stopping is not limited thereto, and may be appropriately set. Can. In addition, the numbers of the rendering symbols constituting the reach are not limited to "5". Further, the position at which the temporary stop is performed is not limited to the substantially central position in the vertical direction. In addition, the direction in which the rendering symbols constituting the reach are arranged is not limited to the horizontal direction, and may be another direction such as an oblique direction.

  As described above, the entire period of the special figure variation production in the case of the loss without reach and the section from the start of the special figure variation production in the case of the reach to the reach establishment time become the normal variation.

4-2-2. 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. Next, N reach will be specifically described.

  When reach is established, for example, as shown in FIG. 19D, N reach is performed from that point on. In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 20A, 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. 20 (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. 20C, the middle effect pattern EZ2 consisting of a number different from the number configuring reach (“4” in FIG. 20C) is temporarily stopped. Do. Then, with the end of the variable display of the special figure (the stop display of the special figure), as shown in FIG. 20 (D), the temporary stop state becomes a complete stop state, and a lost eye unique to reach presence loss The stop display of the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3 is performed.

  In addition, when the production design EZ1-EZ3 which has been temporarily stopped is completely stopped with a lost eye unique to reach presence, that is, when the stop display of the production design EZ1-EZ3 is performed, three small designs KZ1-KZ3 However, the same reach as the presentation symbols EZ1 to EZ3 is simultaneously stopped with a unique lose eye, and the stop display of the small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is also performed. The contents of N reach can be changed or added as appropriate.

  When special figure fluctuation production is not finished with N reach, the remaining one production design fluctuates at high speed again, develops from N reach to L reach or SP reach (switch) while the reach is maintained.

4-2-3. SP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the drawing result of the special figure lottery is a "big hit" is higher than the N reach and L reach, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big hit . Although the established reach is maintained even with SP reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), at the start of SP reach, the effect design symbols constituting the reach are reduced, and the display unit 50a is small. A predetermined position not overlapping the symbol area 50c (for example, the left effect pattern EZ1 is at the upper left of the display unit 50a, and the right effect pattern EZ3 is at the upper right of the display unit 50a).

  Further, at the start of the SP reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 21A, a background image (SP reach background image G115) dedicated to SP reach is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the opponent character appears, and then, FIG. As shown in FIG. 21 (B), an image (SP reach start title image) G10 indicating that the SP reach has been started is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. The SP reach start title image G10 is made up of a title image G10a representing the title of the SP reach "[Enemy batter 打 ち can be beaten !! in FIG. 21 (C)]" and an effect image G10b that brings out the title image G10a Ru.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21C, a scene is displayed in which the main character and the enemy batter, who is one of the enemy characters rivaling the main character, are facing each other. The contents of the SP reach consist of a baseball pitcher-batter showdown scene. Here, the leading character is a pitcher and the enemy character is a batter.

  Thereafter, in the background image G115 for SP reach, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the main character throws a ball to the enemy character A, and as shown in FIG. 22 (B), the enemy character A starts swinging the bat. . Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 22C, the ball and the bat approach each other, and a confrontation between the main character and the enemy character A is to be settled. This scene constitutes a turning point (a victory or defeat turning point) as to whether the main character wins or loses in the pitcher-batter confrontation.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (A-1), if the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is the jackpot special pattern fluctuation pattern (for example, the SP jackpot fluctuation) after this outcome point, as shown in FIG. After the enemy character A swings and wins the confrontation, as shown in FIG. 23 (B-1), a main character is displayed, which picks up the enemy character A in a strikeout and raises a cry on the mound as well as the speaker A predetermined sound effect is output from 52. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode showing a big hit.

  In this manner, the display of the main character winning the confrontation and raising the roar 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. 23 (C-1), stop display of the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1 to 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 image G115, as shown in FIG. 23 (A-2), the enemy character A strikes a home run and loses to the confrontation, and as shown in FIG. 23 (B-2), the main character disappoints on the mound. A loss notification effect in which an image flows is performed.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 23 (C-2), stop display of the rendering symbols EZ1 to EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is performed with a missing eye. The content of the SP reach is not limited to the content in which the characters face each other in baseball, and can be appropriately changed or added.

  Next, the movable body effect and the operation effect performed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be described. The movable body effect and the operation effect are performed as a part of these effects in the form of being incorporated into the above-described SP reach and N reach, and further, a big hit game effect and the like, and when these effects are performed independently. There is. First, the movable body effect will be described.

4-3. Movable Body Effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform movable body effect accompanied by the operation of the movable body at a predetermined timing in a predetermined effect such as a special figure change effect or a big hit game effect. The movable body effect is, for example, an effect using a movable device such as the panel movable device 55, and functions as an effect that indicates the jackpot expectation and the development to the SP reach.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 24 (A), in the special figure fluctuation presentation, when developing from N reach to SP reach, first, as shown in FIG. 24 (B), the board movable device 55 operates and the board movable The body 55k is lowered to the operating position in a front view and is held at that position for a predetermined time. Then, as shown in FIG. 24 (C), the board movable body 55k is raised to the standby position, and the board movable device 55 returns to the normal standby state. When the board movable device 55 returns to the normal standby state, a scene in which the main character is displayed in a large size on the display unit 50a is displayed, and develops into SP reach. In addition, the action content of the movable device in the movable body effect can be appropriately changed or added.

4-4. Operation Effects Next, the operation effects will be described. Pachinko gaming machine PY1 is an operation promoting effect and operation means using operation means such as a first effect button 40k and a second effect button 41k at a predetermined timing in a predetermined effect such as a special figure fluctuation effect or a big hit game effect It is possible to perform an operation presentation including an operation result presentation according to the operation. The operation promotion effect is an effect for urging the player to operate the operation means, and the operation result effect is an effect to be performed according to the operation of the operation means in the operation promotion effect, and for each player to expect a big hit It functions as an effect.

  For example, as described above, when the win / loss junction point is reached in SP reach, a period (second effect button operation valid period) in which the pressing operation of the second effect button 41 is valid occurs, and this second effect button operation valid period As shown in FIG. 25A, in response to the occurrence of the effect, an effect (second effect button operation promotion effect) for urging the operation of the second effect button 41k is performed.

  In the second effect button operation promotion effect, the second effect button operation promotion image G11 is displayed on the display unit 50a. The second effect button operation promotion image G11 is an image (second operation button image) representing an image (second effect button image) G11a representing the second effect button 41k and an operation mode (that is, a pressing operation) of the second effect button 41k. G11 b and an image (operation effective period remaining time image) G11 c representing the remaining time of the operation effective period (second effect button operation effective period) related to the operation of the second effect button 41 k.

  Note that the second effect button operation effective period remaining time image G11c consists of a roughly curved progress bar, and changes with time so that the player can easily understand the remaining time of the effect button operation effective period. Do. FIG. 25B shows a state in which the second effect button operation effective period has occurred and 1/3 of the sword type button operation effective period has elapsed.

  Then, after the second effect button 41 is pressed and operated in the second effect button operation valid period, if the special view change pattern of the variable display of the special view is the special view change pattern of the big hit (for example, SP big hit change). Alternatively, after the remaining time of the operation effective period disappears without the second effect button 41 being operated in the second effect button operation effective period, the operation result effect is performed.

  As the operation result effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 25C, the board movable device 55 is operated, the board movable body 55k is lowered to the actuating position, and is held at that position for a predetermined time, and the rotating member 55k1 Rotates for a predetermined time. That is, the movable body effect is also included in the operation result effect. Further, at this time, the effect image G12 accompanying the operation of the board movable body 55k is also displayed as the operation result effect. Then, as shown in FIG. 25D, the effect image G12 is erased, the rotation of the rotary member 55k1 is stopped, and the movable board 55k is lifted, whereby the effect of the operation result is ended. When the operation result effect ends, a jackpot notification effect is performed.

  On the other hand, if the special view change pattern of the variable view of the special view is the special view change pattern of the loss with reach (for example, SP lost change), the second effect button 41 is pressed and operated in the second effect button operation valid period. Also, even if the second effect button 41 is not pressed and the remaining time of the effect button operation valid period is exhausted, the operation result effect is not performed, and the loss notification effect is performed.

  The operation result presentation is not limited to the operation of the board movable device 55 and the display of the effect image G12, and can be appropriately changed or added. In addition, the operation effect is not limited to the special figure fluctuation effect but can be executed also in the jackpot effect.

4-5. Pre-reading Effect Next, the pre-reading effect that can be executed before the special-image variable display subject to special-image holding is executed will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform prefetching effect on special drawing 1 suspension or special drawing 2 suspension on which special drawing lottery is not performed based on the result of prefetching determination at an arbitrary timing of special drawing fluctuation effect is there. The pre-reading effect is an effect that suggests the jackpot expectation degree for the special view 1 suspension or the special view 2 suspension, and functions as an effect for expecting a jackpot from before the variable display of the special view corresponding to the suspension. As an example of the pre-reading effect, there is a pending change notice using a pending effect representing a special image pending. Here, the hold production performed in the normal play mode and the hold change advance notice will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 26A, the hold effect is performed in a hold display area 50d formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape in a substantially central section in the lower end portion of the display unit 50a. The reserve display area 50d is configured by a first area 50d1, a second area 50d2, a third area 50d3, and a fourth area 50d4 obtained by dividing the reserve display area 50d into four substantially equally in the left-right direction. That is, in the reserved display area 50d, the first area 50d1 to the fourth area 50d4 are provided in order from the left end to the right end.

  In the first area 50d1, the special view 1 variable display is performed first based on the special view 1 related random number corresponding to the special view 1 hold of the special view 1 hold pending. A hold icon representing a special figure 1 hold to be displayed is displayed. Similarly, the second area 50d to the fourth area 50d4 occur second to fourth among the reserved special drawing 1 reservations, and based on the special drawing 1 related random number corresponding to the special drawing 1 reservation. In the second to fourth positions, a hold icon representing the special view 1 hold is displayed in which the special view 1 variable display is performed.

  In the following, the special view 1 suspension corresponding to the suspension icon displayed in the first area 50d1 is referred to as "the special view 1 suspension of the hold order 1". Similarly, the special figure 1 hold corresponding to the hold icon displayed in the second area 50 d 2, the third area 50 d 3, and the fourth area 50 d 4 is “special order 1 hold for hold order 2”, “hold order 3 It is referred to as "Special Figure 1 Hold", and "Special Figure 1 Hold with Hold Order 4". That is, with regard to the special drawing 1 suspension that exists, it is referred to as “order of suspension 1” to “order of suspension 4” in the order of occurrence.

  In addition, the variable display area 50e is formed on the left of the reserved display area 50d. In the variation display area 50e, a variation icon representing the special figure 1 variation display currently being executed is displayed. Therefore, the target indicated by the fluctuation icon displayed in the variable display area 50e is different from the target indicated by the hold icon displayed in the hold display area 50d. Is not included, but since the display of the hold icon and the display of the change icon have relevance, in the following, the display of the hold icon and the display of the change icon are collectively referred to as "hold effect". . Further, the hold icon and the change icon are collectively referred to as an "icon".

  In FIG. 26A, the hold display area 50d and the variable display area 50e are clearly indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, and the first area 50d1 to the fourth area 50d4 are clearly indicated by the broken line. It is described to represent the ranges of the first area 50d1 to the fourth area 50d4 and the variable display area 50e, and is not actually displayed.

  Next, a specific example of the hold effect will be described. In the following description, the display of the small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is omitted. As a premise, it is in the special figure 1 fluctuation display (during special figure fluctuation production), and it is assumed that the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is "2". Under this situation, as shown in FIG. 26 (B), in the first area 50d1 (not shown) described above, the special view 1 hold that is the earliest among the special view 1 hold currently being held (hold order) A reserve icon HA2 representing 1 special figure 1 reserve) is displayed, and a special figure 1 reserve (hold order 2) occurs next to the special figure 1 reserve indicated by the reserve icon HA2 in the second area 50d2 (not shown) described above. The hold icon HA3 representing the special figure 1 hold) is displayed. Further, in the variable display area 50e (not shown) described above, the fluctuation icon HA1 representing the special figure 1 fluctuation display currently being executed is displayed. The display mode of the icons HA1 to HA3 displayed in FIG. 26B is a normal mode.

  Thus, in the hold effect, the special display 1 is displayed from the left end of the hold display area 50d to the right in the order in which the hold is generated. That is, the variable display of the special symbol being held, in other words, the variable display of the unexecuted special symbol based on the special figure related determination information stored in the special figure holding storage unit 105, is individually displayed by the holding icon Ru.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 26 (C), when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 is performed, the fluctuation icon HA1 representing the special figure fluctuation display being executed immediately before that is erased. Subsequently, when the variable symbol display (special figure fluctuation effect) of the special symbol is started based on the special view 1 hold representing the hold icon HA2, the hold icon HA2 and the hold icon HA3 shift. Specifically, the holding icon HA2 displayed in the first area 50d1 (not shown) moves to the variable display area 50e (not shown), and the holding icon HA3 displayed in the second area 50d2 (not shown) is not displayed. It moves to the illustrated first area 50d1. That is, the displayed hold icon HA2 and hold icon HA3 shift to the left one by one. This starts variable display of the special symbol corresponding to the hold icon HA2, and the special figure 1 hold represented by the hold icon HA3 is the first to occur in the special figure 1 hold among the currently held special view 1 hold. This is because the hold icon HA2 and the hold icon HA3 are adapted to the situation in response to the special view variable display to be started next.

  Further, since the reserve icon HA2 displayed in the variable display area 50e represents the special figure 1 variable display being executed, it becomes the variable icon HA2 when displayed in the variable display area 50e. That is, as a word attached to the front of the "icon", the icon displayed in the hold display area 50d is "hold", and the icon displayed in the variable display area 50e is "varied". In other words, when the start condition of the variable symbol display of the special symbol is satisfied for the special symbol hold indicated by the hold icon while the hold icon is displayed, the variable symbol of the special symbol related to the start condition is displayed. The corresponding pending icon is displayed as a floating icon. In addition, when changing from the hold icon to a change icon, in other words, when moving from the hold display area 50d to the change display area 50e, the icon is enlarged about twice.

  Then, from this situation, when the game ball is won in the first starting opening 11 and the special view 1 suspension occurs, as shown in FIG. 26 (E), a new suspension is performed according to the occurrence of the special view 1 suspension. The icon HA4 is displayed in the second area 50d2 (not shown) described above.

  By the way, as described above, the start winning command includes the pass / fail information and the special map fluctuation pattern information. Then, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the hold icon in the normal mode or the special mode based on the success or failure information and the special view fluctuation pattern information. Displaying this hold icon in a special mode is referred to as "hold change notice".

  When the display mode of the hold icon is a special mode, that is, when the hold change notice is given, the player can have an expectation that the jackpot may be won by the variable display of the special symbol corresponding to the hold icon. . Next, a specific example of the pending change notice will be described. As a specific example of the hold change notice, it is assumed that the display mode of the hold icon HA4 shown in FIG. 26E is a special mode.

  As one type of hold change notice, a special mode is set immediately after the hold icon is displayed. In other words, the hold change notice is performed when a special figure 1 hold occurs (when the first start opening 11 is won). There is a pending change notice type. For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (A), the gaming ball is won in the first starting opening 11 from the situation before the hold icon HA4 is displayed (the situation in FIG. 26 (D)). 27B, the special icon 1 in the normal mode (white in FIG. 27B) displays the second area 50d2 (not shown) in the normal mode (white in FIG. 27B). Is displayed on.

  Then, immediately after that, as shown in FIG. 27C, the display mode of the hold icon HA4 changes from the normal mode to the special mode (gray in FIG. 27C) (hold change advance notice is given). In the example of FIG. 27, the hold icon HA4 is displayed in the normal mode for a moment immediately after the display, but may be displayed in the special mode, and the period displayed in the normal mode may be eliminated.

  Another type of hold change notice is a special mode when the hold icon moves, in other words, there is a hold change notice type in which the hold change notice is performed when the special view 1 hold shift is made. For example, as shown in FIG. 28 (A), the game ball is won in the first starting opening 11 from the situation before the hold icon HA4 is displayed (the situation in FIG. 26 (D)). 28B, the special icon 1 in the normal mode (white in FIG. 28B) displays the second area 50d2 (not shown) in the normal mode (white in FIG. 28B) as shown in FIG. 28B. Is displayed on.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 28C, when the stop display of the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 is performed, the fluctuation icon HA2 representing the special figure fluctuation display being executed immediately before that is erased. Subsequently, when variable display (special figure variation effect) of the special symbol is started based on the special figure 1 reserve represented by the reserve icon HA3, as shown in FIG. 28 (D), it is displayed in the first area 50d1 The hold icon HA3 moves to the variable display area 50e (not shown), and the hold icon HA4 displayed in the second area 50d2 moves to the first area 50d1 (not shown). Here, when the reserve icon HA4 moves from the second area 50d2 to the first area 50d1, the display mode changes from the normal mode to the special mode (gray in FIG. 28D) (hold change advance notice is given) ).

  Also, a plurality of special modes relating to the hold change notice may be provided, and the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the type of the special modes. For example, it is assumed that the display mode of the hold icon is associated with the color of the hold icon, and white, blue, red, and gold are set as the display mode of the hold icon. Here, white is a normal mode, and blue, red and gold are special modes. And the jackpot expectation degree which the display mode of a pending | holding icon shows can be set so that it may become high in order of white <blue <red <golden.

  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 pre-reading effect is not limited to the display mode of the reserve icon HA, for example, an image other than the reserve icon HA on the display unit 50 a such as a background image, a sound output from the speaker 52, light emission by the frame lamp 53, and a movable plate It is possible to carry out using a rendering device other than the image display device 50, such as an operation by the device 55. Furthermore, in addition to the effect aspect which continues without interruption until special figure fluctuation display is started after being executed like the pending change announcement with the retention icon HA as the effect aspect of pre-reading effect, the stop indication of the production design The presentation mode may be performed intermittently and continuously, such as every time when is performed or when variation display of the presentation design is started.

5. Game control by the game control microcomputer 101 [game control main processing]
Next, the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described based on FIGS. In addition, the flowchart for controlling the game demonstrated below is an example. The execution order of the plurality of processes in the flowchart can be appropriately changed or parallelly executed as long as no contradiction occurs in the process contents.

  In addition, counters, timers, flags, statuses, buffers, and the like appearing in the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104. Also, the initial value of the counter is "0", the initial value of the flag is "0", that is, "OFF", and the initial value of the status is "1".

  When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the gaming control microcomputer 101 provided on the gaming control board 100 reads out and executes the game control main processing program shown in FIG. 29 from the gaming ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the game control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In power-on processing, permission settings for access to the gaming RAM 104, settings for the gaming CPU 102, SIO (System Input / Output), PIO (Parallel Input / Output), CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit: interrupt time management) Circuit settings 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 relating to the common drawing related determination information and the special drawing related determination information are updated by adding one. 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, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The game control timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the game CPU 102, for example, in a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) is executed in a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the game control side timer interrupt process (S005) is completed and until the game control side timer interrupt process (S005) is started next, the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) Update processing of counter values of various random numbers is repeatedly executed. If an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is permitted (S004). .

[Game control timer interrupt processing]
Next, the game control timer interrupt process (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 30, in the game control timer interrupt process (S005), first, an output process (S101) is executed. In the output process (S101), a command or the like set in an output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the game control board 100 in each process described below is output to the effect control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

  In the input process (S102) performed subsequent to the output process (S101), the game control microcomputer 101 takes in the detection signal from the lower plate full switch for detecting the fullness of the surplus ball storage hole 35A, and plays the game as lower plate full data. It stores in the output buffer of RAM104.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) performed in the game control main process of FIG. That is, the update processing of the counter values of various random numbers related to the common drawing related determination information and the special drawing related determination information is the game control side timer interrupt processing (S005) execution period and other periods (main side timer interrupt processing ( After the end of S005), it is performed both in the period until the next game control side timer interrupt processing (S005) is started.

  After the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), then performs a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106) Do. The sensor detection process, the normal operation process and the special operation process will be described later.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S107) and ends the gaming control timer interrupt processing (S005). As the other process (S107), a power-off monitoring process when the power is turned off, an update of a timer provided in the gaming RAM 104, and the like are performed. Further, as another process (S107), a payout control process of paying out the prize balls to the player is performed. In the payout control process, the winning ball counter for the first starting opening 11, the winning ball counter for the second starting opening 12, the winning ball counter for the special winning opening 14, and the winning ball counter for the general winning opening 10 It is checked whether "0" is exceeded, and if it exceeds "0", a winning ball request signal is sent to the payout control board 170. Then, when transmitting a winning ball signal, an updating process is performed in which the winning ball counter related to the signal is decremented by "1".

  Then, the gaming control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the gaming control main processing until the next interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102, and when the interrupt pulse is input (approximately 4 msec later) ), The game control timer interrupt process (S005) is executed again. The game control microcomputer 101 is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous game control timer interrupt process (S005) in the output process (S101) of the game control timer interrupt process (S005) executed again. Output commands, etc.

[Sensor detection processing]
Next, sensor detection processing will be described using FIGS. 31 to 32. FIG. In the sensor detection process (S104), first, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the general winning opening 10, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the general winning opening sensor 10a (S201). If the gaming ball has not won the general winning opening 10 (NO in S201), the process proceeds to step S203, and if the gaming ball has won in the general winning opening 10 (YES in S201), a predetermined number of gaming balls are A general winning opening ball process for paying out the winning balls is performed (S202). In the general winning opening prize ball processing, the number of winning balls ("3" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the general winning opening 10 is added to the winning ball counter for the general winning opening 10.

  In step S203, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has passed through the gate 13, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the gate sensor 13a. If the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 13 (NO in S203), the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, if the gaming ball passes the gate 13 (YES in S203), whether or not the normal operation status = 1 described later, in other words, whether the common view variable display or the auxiliary game is not performed It is determined whether or not it is (S204). When the normal operation status is not 1 (NO in S204), the process proceeds to step S207, and when the normal operation status is 1 (YES in S204), the counter value of the normal symbol random number counter (label-TRND-F) The common symbol random number indicated by the symbol is acquired as the common drawing related determination information (S205), and the acquired common drawing related determination information is stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 86 provided in the gaming RAM 104 (S206), step S207 Go to

  In step S207, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the second starting opening 12, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the second starting opening sensor 12a. If the game ball has not won in the second start opening 12 (NO in S207), the process proceeds to step S214, and if the game ball has won in the second start opening 12 (YES in S207), the predetermined game ball is specified. The second starting mouth prize ball processing for paying out the number of prize balls is performed (S208). In the second starting mouth winning ball processing, the number of winning balls ("4" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the second starting opening 12 is added to the winning ball counter for the second starting opening 12.

  Next, the number of special figure 2 reservations (specifically, the numerical value of the counter (special figure 2 reservation number counter) for counting special figures 2 reservations provided in the gaming RAM 104) is 4 or more (upper limit number of memories) It is determined whether there is any (S209). If the special figure 2 reserve number is "4" or more (YES in S209), the process proceeds to step S214, but if the special figure 2 reserve number is not "4" or more (less than "4") ( A special figure 2 reservation number addition process is performed (NO in S209) (S210). In the special figure 2 pending number addition process, the special figure 2 pending number counter is incremented by "1", and the special figure 2 pending number indicated by the special figure 2 pending display 83b is increased by "1".

  Subsequently, special symbol random number counter (label-TRND-T), jackpot symbol type random number counter (label-TRND-OS), reach random number counter (label-TRND-RC), special figure variation pattern random number counter (label-TRND- The special figure 2 related determination information made of HP) is acquired and stored in the special figure related determination information buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104 (S211).

  Next, second pre-reading determination processing is performed (S212). In the second pre-reading determination process, the current gaming state and the special view 2 related determination information acquired in step S211 are checked in the second pre-reading determination table shown in FIG. The second start winning command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104.

  Subsequently, the gaming control microcomputer 101 stores the special view 2 related determination information acquired in step S211 in the special view 2 suspension storage unit 105b (S213).

  Subsequently, in step S214, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the first starting opening 11, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the first starting opening sensor 11a. If the gaming ball is not winning in the first starting opening 11 (NO in S214), the process proceeds to step S221, and if the gaming ball is winning in the first starting opening 11 (YES in S214), predetermined The first starting mouth winning ball processing for paying out the number of winning balls is performed (S215). In the first starting mouth winning ball processing, the number of winning balls ("4" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the first starting opening 11 is added to the winning ball counter for the first starting opening 11.

  Next, the number of special figure 1 reservations (specifically, the numerical value of a counter (special figure 1 reservation number counter) for counting the number of special illustration 1 reservations provided in the game RAM 104) is "4" (upper limit storage number) or more It is determined whether or not (S216). If the special figure 1 reservation number is "4" or more (YES in S216), the process proceeds to step S221, but if the special figure 1 reservation number is not "4" or more (less than) (NO in S216) And the special figure 1 pending number addition process is performed (S217). In the special figure 1 pending number addition process, the special figure 1 pending number counter is incremented by "1", and the special figure 1 pending number indicated by the special figure 1 pending display 83a is increased by "1".

  Subsequently, special symbol random number counter (label-TRND-T), jackpot symbol type random number counter (label-TRND-OS), reach random number counter (label-TRND-RC), special figure variation pattern random number counter (label-TRND- The special figure 1 related determination information made of HP) is acquired and stored in a special figure related determination information buffer provided in the game RAM 104 (S218).

  Next, first pre-reading determination processing is performed (S219). In the first pre-reading determination process, the first start-up winning command is identified in the first pre-reading determination table shown in FIG. 12 by collating the current gaming state with the special view 1 related determination information acquired in step S218. The first start winning command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104.

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 stores the special view 1 related determination information acquired in step S218 in the storage area corresponding to the current special view 1 hold count in the special view 1 hold storage unit 105a (S220).

  In step S221, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the special winning opening 14, that is, whether or not the gaming ball has been detected by the special winning opening sensor 14a. If the game ball is not winning in the big winning opening 14 (NO in S221), the sensor detection processing is ended, and if the gaming ball is winning in the big winning opening 14 (YES in S221), the game RAM 104 It is determined whether the counter value of the provided special winning opening winning counter is "9" or more (S222). The special winning opening winning counter is a counter for counting the number of winning in the special winning opening 14 in one round game of the big hit game. The special winning opening winning counter is cleared each time each round game is over. In the first embodiment, the prescribed number of winning is set to "8". Thus, the process of step S222 is performed.

  If the counter value of the special winning opening winning counter is "9" or more (YES in S222), the sensor detection processing is ended, and the counter value of the special winning opening winning counter is not "9" or more, that is, less than "9" If it is (NO in S222), the counter value of the special winning opening winning counter is incremented by 1 (S223), and the special winning opening winning ball processing for paying out the predetermined number of winning balls to the player is performed (S224) ), End the sensor detection process. In the special winning opening prize ball processing, the number of winning balls ("14" in the first embodiment) according to the winning on the special winning opening 14 is added to the winning ball counter for the special winning opening 14.

[Normal operation processing]
Next, the normal operation process related to the control of the common display 82 and the electric drive 12D will be described. As shown in FIG. 33, the processing relating to the spread map display 82 and the electric chart 12D is divided into four statuses (steps). Then, “normal operation status = 1, 2, 3, 4” is assigned to each of those statuses. In the normal operation processing (S105), the gaming control microcomputer 101 first confirms the "normal operation status" (S1101). If the "normal operation status" is "1", the normal symbol standby process (S1102) is performed, and if the "normal operation status" is "2", the normal symbol variation process (S1103) is performed, When the “normal operation status” is “3”, the normal symbol determination process (S1104) is performed, and when the “normal operation status” is “4”, the auxiliary game control process (S1105) is performed. The “normal operation status” is set to “1” in the initial setting.

  The normal symbol standby process (S1102) is a process performed while the variable display of the common drawing and the auxiliary game are not performed. In the normal symbol standby process (S1102), the hit determination is performed based on the normal symbol random number stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 86. Further, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination is performed based on the current gaming state to determine the common drawing fluctuation pattern, and the fluctuation display of the common drawing fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation time according to the determined common drawing fluctuation pattern To start and change the normal operation status to "2". The game control microcomputer 101 sets a common drawing change start command according to the common drawing change pattern determination result in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 at the start of the variable display of the common drawing.

  The normal symbol variation process (S1103) is a process that is performed when a common figure is variably displayed. In the normal symbol variation process (S1103), it is determined whether or not the spread diagram variation time has elapsed since the variation display of the spread diagram being executed has started (whether the variation display of the spread diagram is ended), If it is determined that the figure fluctuation time has elapsed, the stop display of the common drawing is performed based on the hit determination result, and the normal operation status is changed to "3". Further, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a common drawing fluctuation stop command in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 at the start of the fluctuation display of the common drawing.

  The normal symbol determination process (S1104) is a process that is performed when the drawing is stopped and displayed. In the normal symbol determination process (S1104), whether or not a predetermined stop time (for example, 0.8 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the stop display of the common drawing in progress has ended (the stop display of the common view is ended) If it is determined that the predetermined stop time has elapsed, it is determined whether the stop-displayed popular map is a hit symbol or not. If it is not a hit symbol (if the stop-displayed ordinary drawing is a lost symbol), the normal operation status is changed to "1". On the other hand, if the winning symbol is in the stop display mode, the normal operation status is changed to "4", and the auxiliary game is started based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table. Furthermore, the game control microcomputer 101 sets an auxiliary game start command in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 at the start of the auxiliary game.

  The auxiliary game control process (S1105) is a process performed when an auxiliary game is being performed. In the auxiliary game control process (S1105), the auxiliary game is controlled based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table. Then, when the auxiliary game ends, the normal operation status is changed to "1".

[Special operation processing]
Next, special operation processing relating to control of the special view display 81, the special view hold display 83, and the big winning device 14D will be described. As shown in FIG. 34, the processing relating to the special view display 81, the special view hold display 83 and the big winning device 14D is divided into six statuses (steps). Then, “special operation status = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6” is assigned to each of those statuses. The game control microcomputer 101 first confirms the "special operation status" (S1501).

  When the "special operation status" is "1", the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs the special symbol standby process (S1502), and when the "special operation status" is "2", the special symbol fluctuation A process (S1503) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "3", the special symbol determination process (S1504) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "4", the jackpot game control A process (S1505) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "5", a game state setting process (S1506) is performed. The "special operation status" is set to "1" by default.

  The special symbol standby process (S1502) is a process which is performed while waiting for the variable display of the special symbol and the big hit game. The special symbol standby process will be described in detail later.

  The special symbol variation process (S1503) is a process performed when the special symbol is variably displayed. The special symbol variation process will be described in detail later.

  The special symbol determination process (S1504) is a process performed when the special symbol is stopped and displayed. The special symbol determination process will be described in detail later.

  The jackpot game control process (S1505) is a process performed in the jackpot game. The game control microcomputer 101 performs a jackpot game control process to perform a jackpot game according to the jackpot game control table. When the jackpot game is over, change the special operation status to "5". When each round game is started, a round number designation command indicating the number of rounds is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104. Further, when all round games are finished and ending is started, an ending command indicating an ending according to the jackpot symbol related to the jackpot game is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

  The game state setting process (S1506) is a process of setting a game state to be controlled after the big hit game when the big hit game is finished. For example, when controlling in the high probability state after the jackpot game, the high probability flag is turned on in the high probability flag area of the gaming RAM 104 to set the high probability state. Further, at this time, when the duration of the high probability state is limited, the duration is also set. For example, when the termination condition of the high probability state is the number of times of execution of the special view variable display, the number of times (hereinafter referred to as "high probability specified number of times") is set in the high probability remaining number counter provided in the gaming RAM 104 . Further, when controlling in the time saving state after the big hit game, the time saving flag is turned on in the time saving flag area of the game RAM 104 to set the time saving state. Furthermore, at this time, when limiting the duration of the time saving state, the duration is also set. For example, when the termination condition of the time saving state is the number of times of execution of the special view variable display, the number of times (hereinafter referred to as "time saving prescribed number of times") is set in the time saving remaining number counter provided in the game RAM 104.

  Further, in the gaming state setting process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets a gaming state command indicating the gaming state after the big hit game in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104.

[Special symbol standby process]
Next, the special symbol standby process will be described with reference to FIG. In the special symbol standby process (S1502), first, it is determined whether or not the special drawing 2 reserve number is "0" (S1601). In the case where the number of reserved special figures 2 is "0" (YES in S1601), that is, when there is no storage of the special figure 2 related determination information acquired due to the winning of the second starting port 12, the special figure It is determined whether the number of pending calls is "0" (S1608). Then, when the number of special drawing 1 reservations is also "0" (YES in S1608), that is, when there is no storage of the special drawing 1 related determination information obtained due to the winning of the first starting opening 11, It is determined whether the customer waiting flag is ON (S1618). Here, if the customer waiting flag is ON (YES in S1618), the special symbol waiting process is finished, and if the customer waiting flag is not ON (NO in S1618), a customer waiting command is set in the output buffer (S1619) The customer waiting flag is turned on (S1620), and the special symbol waiting process is ended.

  In addition, when the special figure 2 reserve number is “0” but the special figure 1 reserve number is not “0” (YES in S1601 and NO in S1608), that is, there is no special figure 2 related determination information, but the first start When there is one or more memories of the special figure 1 related determination information acquired due to the winning in the mouth 11, the special figure 1 determination process (S1609) and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process (S1610) are performed.

  In the special view 1 determination process (S1609), the special symbol random number stored in the special view 1 suspension storage unit 105a is read first and stored in the jackpot determination table according to the current gaming state. Based on the judgment of the jackpot or the loss (jump judgment) is performed. At present, in the case of the normal probability state, the jackpot determination is performed using the first probability state judgment table for the normal probability state, and in the case of the high probability state, the jackpot determination is performed using the first jackpot determination table for the high probability state.

  Here, if the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol type random number is read out and the jackpot symbol type determination (jackpot symbol type determination) is performed based on the first jackpot symbol type judgment table. Then, the jackpot symbol data representing the jackpot symbol type is set in the special view buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104, and the symbol designating command representing the jackpot symbol type is set in the output buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104.

  If the result of the jackpot determination is "loss", the lost symbol data representing the loss is set in the special view buffer, and the symbol designating command representing the loss is set in the output buffer.

  Next, the special view 1 fluctuation pattern determination process (S1610) will be described with reference to FIG. In the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the current time non-short state is currently set (S1651). If it is in the non-time-short state (YES in S1651), the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the non-time-short state is selected (S1652) and then the process proceeds to step S1654; After the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the state is selected (S1653), the process proceeds to step S1654.

  In step S1654, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the jackpot determination result is "big hit". If it is not a jackpot (NO in S1654), it proceeds to step S1656, and if it is a jackpot (YES in S1654), it is determined whether or not the result of jackpot symbol type determination is "jackpot symbol A" (S1655). If the gaming control microcomputer 101 is the big hit symbol A (YES in S1655), the special figure 1 variation pattern for the big hit symbol A from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653. After the judgment table is selected (S1663), the process proceeds to step S1662, and if it is not jackpot symbol A (NO in S1655), the jackpot symbol from the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653 After the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for B and C is selected (S1662), the process proceeds to step S1662.

  In step S1656, the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs reach determination. In reach determination, reach random numbers are read out, and the reach random numbers are collated with a reach determination table corresponding to the current gaming state (non-short time state / short time state) to determine whether there is a reach or no reach.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the result of the reach determination in step S1656 is "there is a reach" (S1657). If there is reach (YES in S1657), the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach presence loss is selected from the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653 (S1659) After that, the process proceeds to step S1662, and if there is no reach (NO at S1657), the current special figure 1 reservation number is confirmed, and in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table selected in either step S1652 or step S1653. Then, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the reach-less loss according to the special figure 1 reservation number is selected (S1658), and the process proceeds to step S1662.

  In step S1662, the gaming control microcomputer 101 reads the special figure fluctuation pattern random number, and collates the special figure fluctuation pattern random number with the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table selected in any of step S1658 to step S1661. Special Figure 1 Variation Pattern Determination The special figure 1 variation pattern determination is performed. Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 sets the special figure 1 fluctuation start command indicating the determined special figure 1 fluctuation pattern in the output buffer (S1663), and the special figure fluctuation according to the determined special figure 1 fluctuation pattern The time is set in the special operation timer (S1664), the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination process is ended, and the process is returned to the special symbol standby process.

  The special operation timer is updated by 4 ms in the other processing (S107) in the game control timer interrupt processing (S005). In addition, in the special figure 1 fluctuation start command which is set, the information regarding the type of special symbol (that it is special figure 1) and the special figure fluctuation pattern decision which is done with special figure 1 fluctuation pattern decision processing (S1610) The information on the result (the information on the special figure fluctuation pattern including the information on presence or absence of the reach and the special figure fluctuation time) is included.

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 causes the special view 1 display 81a to start the change display of the special view 1 based on the special view change time according to the special view 1 change pattern determined in step S1610 (S1611) .

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 shifts the storage location (storage area) of the various counter values in the special view 1 suspension storage unit 105a to the side where it is read from the current position, and moves the special location 1 storage unit 105a. The special figure 1 reserve storage unit shift process is executed to clear the storage area corresponding to the first reserve (the storage area farthest from the read side) in (S1612). In this way, the special figure 1 hold is digested in the order in which it is held.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 decrements the special figure 1 pending number counter by “1” (S1613), and changes the special figure 1 pending number indicated by the special figure 1 pending indicator 83a by “1” to change it ( S1614), the special operation status is changed to "2" (S1615).

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S1616), and if it is ON (YES in S1616), the customer waiting flag is turned OFF (S1617), and the special symbol standby process is performed. If it is not ON (NO in S1616), the special symbol standby process is ended without executing step S1617.

  In addition, when the special figure 2 reservation number is not “0” in step S1601 (NO in S1601), that is, one or more of the special figure 2 related determination information acquired due to the winning of the second starting opening 12 is stored. If there is, the special figure 2 determination process (S1602) and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination process (S1603) are performed. The special figure 2 determination process (S1602) and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination process (S1603) are basically the same process contents as the special figure 1 determination process (S1609) and the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process (S1610) .

  The special figure 2 determination process (S1602) is basically the same except that the table used in the big hit determination is the second big hit determination table and the table used in the big hit symbol type determination is the second big hit symbol type determination table Since the process is the same as the special figure 1 determination process (S1609), the description is omitted. Also, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination process (S1603) is basically the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process (except that the table used in the special figure 2 variation pattern determination is the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table ( Since the process is the same as that of S1610), the description is omitted.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 causes the special view 2 display 81b to start the change display of the special view 2 based on the special view change time corresponding to the special view change pattern determined in step S1603 (S1604).

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 shifts the storage location (storage area) of the various counter values in the special view 2 reserve storage unit 105b to the side where it is read from the current position, and moves the special position 2 reserve storage unit 105b. Special figure 2 reserve storage section shift processing which clears the storage territory (the storage territory which is farthest from the side which is read out) which corresponds to the 4th retention in the (S1605). In this way, the special figure 2 suspension is digested in the order in which it was suspended.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer for game control 101 decrements the special figure 2 reserve number counter by "1" (S1606), and decreases the special figure 2 reserve number indicated by the special figure 2 reserve indicator 83b by "1" to change it (S1607) ), The special operation status is changed to “2” (S1615), and the process proceeds to step S1616.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the variable symbol display of the special symbol based on the special figure 1 suspension is performed only when the special figure 2 suspension is "0" (in the case of YES in S1601). That is, the special figure 2 reserve digest is executed prior to the special figure 1 reserve digest. In the first embodiment, the lottery based on the special figure 2 suspension is easier for the player to win the jackpot symbol with a large profit than the lottery based on the special figure 1 suspension. The special figure 1 suspension may be prioritized over the special figure 2 suspension. Further, the special figure 1 suspension and the special figure 2 suspension may be performed in the order in which the suspension occurred regardless of the type of the special diagram.

[Special symbol variation process]
Next, special symbol variation processing will be described with reference to FIG. In the special symbol variation process (S1503), the game control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the variation display of the special symbol is ended, that is, the special figure variation time set in the special operation timer in step S1603 or step S1610 has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (special operation counter = 0) (S1701). When the special symbol variation display is not ended (NO in S1701), the special symbol variation processing is ended, and when the special symbol variation display is ended (YES in S1701), the special symbol variation display is displayed on the special figure display 81. The special symbol stop display corresponding to the symbol data (big hit symbol data or lost special symbol data) set in the special view buffer in step S1602 or step S1609 is displayed (S1702).

  Subsequently, the special figure settling time (for example, 0.8 seconds) set in advance is set to the special operation timer (S1703), and the special figure fluctuation stop command indicating that the variation display of the special symbol is finished is output buffer The special operation status is changed to "3" (S1705), and the special symbol variation process is ended.

[Special symbol confirmation process]
Next, special symbol confirmation processing will be described using FIG. In the special symbol determination process (S1504), the game control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the stop display of the special symbol is ended, that is, the special figure determination time set in the special operation timer in step S1703 has elapsed (special It is determined whether or not the operation counter = 0) (S1751). When the stop display of the special symbol is not ended (NO in S1751), the special symbol confirmation process is ended, and when the stop display of the special symbol is ended (YES in S1751), the normal probability state (high probability flag OFF) It is determined whether or not (S1752).

  If the game control microcomputer 101 is not in the normal probability state (NO in S1752), the process proceeds to step S1757. If it is in the normal probability state (YES in S1752), the time saving state (time saving flag is ON) It is determined whether or not (S1753). If the game control microcomputer 101 is not in the time saving state (NO in S1753), the process proceeds to step S1757. If the time reduction state is currently in progress (YES in S1753), the remaining variable display of the special symbol executable in the time saving state. When the number of times (time remaining number of times) is measured, the value of the time remaining number counter is decremented by 1 (S1754), and it is determined whether the value of the time remaining number counter is "0" (S1755). If the value of the time short remaining counter (time short remaining number) is not "0" (NO in S1755), the process proceeds to step S1757, and if the value of the time short remaining number counter (time short remaining number) is "0" (S1755 YES), shift from the time saving state to the non-time saving state (turn off the time saving flag) (S1756), and proceed to step S1757.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 confirms the current gaming state, sets the gaming state command indicating the gaming state in the output buffer (S1757), and the special symbol currently displayed for stop is the big hit symbol or not. It is determined whether or not (S1758). If it is not the jackpot symbol (NO in S1758), the special operation status is changed to "1" (S1762), the special symbol confirmation process is finished, and if it is the jackpot symbol (YES in S1758), the gaming state is reset ( Specifically, the high probability flag and the short time flag are turned off, and the high probability remaining number counter and the time remaining number counter are set to “0” (S1759).

  Subsequently, the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs jackpot game preparation processing (S1760), changes the special operation status to "4" (S1761), and ends the special symbol determination processing. The game control microcomputer 101 sets a jackpot game control table corresponding to the type of jackpot symbol to a predetermined area of the game RAM 104 in the jackpot game preparation process. In addition, the big hit opening flag which shows that it is in the opening according to the big hit symbol which is stopping indication is turned on in the specified territory of game RAM104, according to the classification of big hit symbol, predetermined opening time (big hit game start Time to the start of one round) is set in the special operation timer. Furthermore, an opening command indicating the type of the jackpot symbol is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 in accordance with the type of the jackpot symbol. The opening command according to the type of the jackpot symbol indicates that the jackpot game (opening of the jackpot game) according to the type of the jackpot symbol displayed and stopped is started.

6. Control of production by production control board 120 [production control main processing]
Next, control of effects by the effect control board 120 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 39. In addition, the flowchart for controlling the presentation demonstrated below is an example. The execution order of the plurality of processes in the flowchart can be appropriately changed or parallelly executed as long as no contradiction occurs in the process contents.

  In addition, counters, timers, flags, buffers, and the like appearing in the following description of control of effects by the effect control board 120 are provided in the effect RAM 124. When the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the effect control board 120 reads out the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 39 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it.

  As shown in the figure, in the sub control main process, first, a power on process according to the power on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the effect CPU 122, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, interrupt is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determination regarding various effects are updated. Note that the effect determination random numbers include various random numbers for determining effect contents such as a special image variation effect pattern determination random number and an option increase determination random number.

  The updating method of the determination random number counter for various effects can be, for example, the same method as the random number updating process performed by the game 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 game control board 100 described above.

  When the random number seed update process is completed, the command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the effect control board 120 (for example, special figure variation effect start command, customer wait start command, opening effect start command, round effect start described later) A command, an ending effect start command, and the like 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). In addition to the various effects performed by the image control substrate 140, the effect control substrate 120 causes the speaker 52 to output a sound via the sound control circuit 161 (performs various effects by sound), and the sub drive substrate The frame lamp 53 is made to emit light via the light source 162 (to execute various effects by light emission), or the movable plate 55k is operated (to execute various effects by operation). As various effects, there are special image fluctuation effects, jackpot game effects (jackout opening effects, round effects, jackpot ending effects), customer waiting effects, operation effects, and pre-reading effects.

  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 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011) and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4012) will be described later.

  The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time a strobe signal, that is, various commands sent from the game control board 100, is input to the external INT input unit of the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the effect control microcomputer 121 stores various commands received and received by the output process (S101) of the game 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).

First Embodiment
Next, based on the above-described basic embodiment according to the present invention, a first embodiment representing a characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described. In addition, suppose that the same name and code are used about the same structure demonstrated by the basic structure.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, in the special figure fluctuation presentation, the player can be made to expect the jackpot, that is, the SP reach is performed to indicate the jackpot expectation. There are multiple types of SP reach. Then, immediately before the SP reach is started, a selection effect capable of selecting which type of SP reach is to be executed by the operation of the player is executed. After the selection effect, the type of SP reach selected by the selection effect is executed. That is, after the selection effect, the SP reach is performed in conjunction with the selection result in the selection effect. In the above-described basic embodiment of the present invention, it has been described that SP reach is evolved after N reach, but here, after N reach, it is executed through selection effect. Do.

  When the selection effect is being performed, a special type of SP reach that can be selected by satisfying the option increase condition, that is, an option increase effect may be performed in which special options increase. Hereinafter, specific examples of the selection effect and the option increase effect will be described.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, SP reach that can be selected from the time when the option increase condition at the start of the selection effect is not established is also “normal type”, or “normal option”, or “normal SP reach”. It is said. On the other hand, although it is potentially selectable, the SP reach that becomes substantially selectable by the satisfaction of the option increase condition is “special type” or “special option” or “special SP reach”. It is also called.

  In the first embodiment, it is assumed that three types of normal SP reach are set and one type of special SP reach is set. Usually, SP reach is three types of SP reach A, SP reach B, and SP reach C, and special SP reach is one type of SP reach D. The type of SP reach is associated with the opponent team of the main character and the opponent as the effect of SP reach. In SP Reach A, Batter's batter ○○ will be the opponent. Similarly, in the SP reach B, the b team □□ of the C team is the opponent, in the SP reach C, the batter D of the D team is the opponent, and in the SP reach D, the batter of the E team ☆☆ is the opponent Become.

  In the following, the normal option corresponding to SP reach A is "first normal option", the normal option corresponding to SP Lee B is "second normal option", and the normal option corresponding to SP reach C The thing is also referred to as the "third regular option."

  The selection effect is performed on the display unit 50a. When the selection effect is started, an image G83 (Selection promotion image G83 prompts the player to select the opponent associated with the SP reach effect content, that is, the type of SP reach as an option, on the display unit 50a. Is displayed.

  In addition, when the selection effect is started, an operation effective period (hereinafter, referred to as a “selection effect effective period”) in which the operation of the first effect button 40k becomes effective occurs. This selection effect operation effective period constitutes the effect time of the selection effect. In the selection effect operation valid period, an image G81 (selection target switch description image G81) for explaining that the selection object can be switched when the first effect button 40k is operated, and an image suggesting the operation valid period and the remaining time G82 (selection effect operation effective period image G82) is displayed. The selection subject switching explanation image G81 and the selection effect operation effective period image G82 are collectively referred to as a "selection effect operation related image G8". In the first embodiment, the selection effect operation valid period is performed until a preset selection effect time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses.

  Furthermore, in the selection effect, the type of SP reach, which is an option, is displayed on the display unit 50a. For example, as shown in FIG. 40A, a first normal option image G141 indicating that SP reach A is selected is displayed. That is, first, the first normal option is presented, and SP reach A is provisionally selected.

  Then, in the selection effect, each time the first effect button 40k is operated, the option to be selected is switched. Specifically, "SP reach A (first normal option)-> SP reach B (second normal option)-> SP reach C every time the first effect button 40k is operated until the option increase condition is satisfied. The normal options are switched in the order of (third normal option) → SP reach A (first normal option) ... ".

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40 (A) to 40 (B), when the first normal option image G141 is displayed and the SP reach A is provisionally selected, the first effect button 40k is displayed. When operated, the fact that SP reach B is selected is switched from the first normal option image G141 to the second normal option image G142, and the selection target is switched from SP reach A to SP reach B.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 40 (B) to 40 (C), the second normal option image G142 is displayed, and when the SP reach B is provisionally selected, the first effect button 40k is operated. Then, the second normal option image G142 is switched to the third normal option image G143 indicating that the SP reach C is selected, and the selection target is switched from the SP reach B to the SP reach C.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 40C, when the third normal option image G143 is displayed and the first effect button 40k is operated while the SP reach C is provisionally selected, the third normal option is displayed. The image G143 is switched to the first normal option image G141, and the selection target is switched from SP reach C to SP reach A.

  Thus, after the selection effect is started, the selection target is “SP reach A (first normal option) → SP reach B every time the first effect button 40 k is operated, unless the option increase condition is satisfied. (2nd normal option) → SP reach C (third normal option) → SP reach A (first normal option)... Further, in accordance with the switching of the selection object, the display switches to any one of the first normal option image G141 to the third normal option image G143 temporarily selected at that time.

  Next, the option increase presentation will be described. As described above, the option increase presentation is executed when the option increase condition is satisfied. The establishment of the option increase condition is performed by selecting whether or not to execute the option increase effect by operating the first effect button 40k in the selection effect, and is determined to be “execute the option increase effect” in the lottery Is set to. In the following, this lottery is referred to as "option increase lottery".

  The probability that the option increase lottery results in “execution of option increase effect” differs between the time of the jackpot and the time of the loss. In detail, the probability of the result of “execution of option increase presentation” is set to be higher in the option increase lottery in the case of the big hit than in the case of the loss. This probability can be set as appropriate, but for example, in the first embodiment, it is set to 30% at the time of the big hit and 10% at the time of the loss. In addition, below, the thing of "probability of becoming a result of" execution of option increase presentation "" is called "option increase execution probability". In addition, it is referred to as "winning in option increase lottery" that results in "execution of option increase effect" in option increase lottery.

  Then, when the first effect button 40k is operated and the option increase condition is satisfied, the special option is presented in place of the normal option which is to be presented when the condition is not satisfied. Specifically, it suggests that SP reach D is selected instead of the first normal option image G141 to the third normal option image G143 which were to be displayed when the condition was not established. The image G144 (special option image G144) is displayed to be interrupted.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 41A, when the first normal option image G141 is displayed and the SP reach A is provisionally selected, the first effect button 40k is operated, and the option increase condition is 41B, the first normal option image G141 is switched to the special option image G144, and the selection target is switched from the SP reach A to the SP reach D.

  When the first effect button 40k is operated after switching to SP reach D within the selection effect period, as shown in FIG. 41 (C), if the option increase condition is not satisfied from the special option image G144 It switches to the 2nd normal choice picture G142 which was going to be displayed, and a candidate for selection changes from SP reach D to SP reach B. Next, when the first effect button 40k is further operated, as shown in FIG. 41 (D), the second normal option image G142 is switched to the third normal option image G143, and the selection target is SP reach B to SP reach Switch to C. After that, each time the first effect button 40k is operated, the selection target is “SP reach A (first normal option) → SP reach D (special option) → SP reach B (second normal option) → SP reach C It switches repeatedly in the order of (third ordinary option) →. In other words, when the option increase condition is satisfied, the special option is the cycle of the option “SP reach A (first normal option) → SP reach B (second normal option) → SP reach C (third normal option) → SP reach A Interrupted to (1st ordinary option) ..., a new option cycle “SP reach A (first ordinary option) → SP reach D (special option) → SP reach B (second ordinary option) → SP reach C It can be said that (the third normal option) → SP reach A (the first normal option) ... "is formed.

  Then, when the selection effect ends, at the end of the selection effect, in other words, any of the option image G141 to the option image G144 displayed on the display unit 50a suggests when the option effect operation valid period expires. A type of SP reach is started according to the choice.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 42A, when the first normal option image G141 is displayed (the first normal option is selected) at the expiration of the selected effect, SP reach A is started, and FIG. As shown in B), the SP reach start title image G10 indicating that the SP reach A starts is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 42C, the opposing team B associated with the main character and the SP reach A. An image of the content in which a battle with the enemy batter ○, which is the opponent of the player, is performed is displayed on the display unit 50a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 43 (A), when the second normal option image G142 is displayed (the second normal option is selected) at the expiration of the selection effect, SP reach B is started, and FIG. As shown in B), an SP reach start title image G10 indicating that SP reach B starts is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 43 (C), the opposing team C associated with the main character and SP reach B. An image of the content to be played against the enemy batter □□, which is the opponent of the above, is displayed on the display unit 50a.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 44 (A), when the third normal option image G143 is displayed (the third normal option is selected) at the expiration of the selection effect, SP reach C is started, and FIG. As shown in B), the SP reach start title image G10 indicating that the SP reach C starts is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 44C, the opposing team D associated with the main character and the SP reach C. An image of the content of the battle against the enemy batter ◇, which is the opponent of the player, is displayed on the display unit 50a.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 45 (A), when the special option image G 144 is displayed (special option is selected) at the end of the selection effect, SP reach D is started, and FIG. 45 (B) As shown, an SP reach start title image G10 indicating that SP reach D starts is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 45C, the opponent character of the opponent team E associated with the main character and SP reach D. An image of the content of the battle against the enemy batter ☆☆ is displayed on the display unit 50a.

[1 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, 1 ms timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. The 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed every time an interrupt pulse of 1 msec cycle is input to the effect control board 120.

  In the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4011), the effect control microcomputer 121 first performs an input process (S4101). In the input process, the effect control microcomputer 121 creates first effect button switch data based on the detection signal from the first effect button detection sensor 40a. The effect control microcomputer 121 creates second effect button switch data based on the detection signal from the second effect button detection sensor 41a.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs light emission data output processing (S4102). In the light emission data output process, the effect control microcomputer 121 emits the light emission data created in the light emission data creation process (S4207) in the 10 ms timer interrupt process described later in order to cause the frame lamp 53 to emit light at a timing suitable for the effect by the image. Is output to the sub drive substrate 162. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53 to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs movable device control processing (S4103). In the movable device control process, the effect control microcomputer 121 creates or outputs drive data (data for driving the movable plate 55k) so as to drive the movable plate 55k at a predetermined timing. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 drives the board movable body 55k in a predetermined operation mode in accordance with the drive data.

  Then, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs watchdog timer processing for resetting the watchdog timer (S4104), and ends the 1 ms timer interrupt processing.

[10 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, 10 ms timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4012) is executed every time an interrupt pulse of 10 msec cycle is input to the effect control board 120.

  In the 10 ms timer interrupt process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first performs a received command analysis process of analyzing a command or the like stored in the receive buffer in step S4010 (S4201). The received command analysis process will be described later.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs voice control processing (S4202). In the voice control process, the creation of voice data (data for controlling the output of voice from the speaker 52) and the voice control circuit 161 on the basis of the effect contents and the like indicated by the special view fluctuation effect data set in the effect RAM 124. Output is performed.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs light emission data creation processing (S4203). In the light emission data creation process, the light emission data is created based on the effect content and the like indicated by the special view variation effect data set in the effect RAM 124 and the like.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs operation valid period control processing (S4204). In the operation effective period control process, for example, an effective period for the operation of the first effect button 40k related to the selected effect or the operation of the second effect button 41k related to the operation effect is generated based on the effect content of the special view fluctuation effect described later Let Then, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs processing to end the effective period when the effective period of the effective period has elapsed and the effective period has expired or when the operation of the effect buttons 40k, 41k, etc. is performed.

  Further, for example, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs an option increase lottery every time the first effect button switch data is created until the option increase condition is satisfied in the selection effect operation effective period described above. As the option increase lottery, for example, a random number counter for option increase determination for performing the lottery is provided in the effect RAM 124. The option increase determination random number counter is appropriately updated in the random number seed update process (S4003). Then, each time the first effect button switch data is created, the random number value indicated by the option increase determination random number counter at that time is acquired as the option increase determination random number.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs an option increase determination to determine whether to increase the special option based on the special view change pattern indicated by the special view change start command. In the option increase determination, an option increase determination table is selected. In the first embodiment, the choice increase determination table includes a choice increase determination table for jackpot and an option increase determination table for losing. Therefore, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects one option increase determination table based on the special figure fluctuation pattern.

  In each option increase determination table, values of option increase determination random numbers (option increase determination values) are appropriately distributed as to whether or not special options increase, so that the option increase execution probability (%) described above is obtained. Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 collates the acquired option increase determination random number with the selected option increase determination table, and determines whether to increase the special option.

  If it is determined that the special option is to be increased, the effect control microcomputer 121 adds the special option in such a manner as to interrupt the cycle of the option. Specifically, change to the cycle of the option where the special option is interrupted between the normal option which was scheduled to be switched if it is not determined to increase the option in this option increase judgment and the normal option before it. . On the other hand, if it is determined that the option is not increased, the cycle of the option not including the special option is maintained.

  In the following, the former option cycle in which the special option is interrupted is referred to as a "special option cycle", and the latter option cycle in which the special option is not included is referred to as a "normal option cycle". In addition, as described above, the normal option cycle is “first normal option (SP reach A) → second normal option (SP reach B) → third normal option (SP reach C) → first normal option (SP reach) A) → ... and so on.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets an option update command representing a new option to be switched according to the operation of the first effect button 40k in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 based on the cycle of the option. When the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the special option is to be increased in the immediately preceding option increase determination, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets an option update command representing the special option in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124. That is, the selection effect is performed from the special options of the special option cycle.

  When the option update command set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4004), the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 relates to the option indicated by the option update command. Switch to a choice image. If the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the option is to be increased once in the option increase determination, it performs a new option including a special option without performing an option increase lottery and an option increase determination in the selection effect operation effective period thereafter. Make special selection and continue the selection effects in the cycle.

  In addition, when the selected effect effective period ends, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a selected effect end command indicating that in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124. When the selection effect end command set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4004), the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 is displaying at that time. The option image G141 to the option image G144, that is, the SP reach according to the selected option is started.

[Receive command analysis process]
Next, the received command analysis process will be described with reference to FIGS. In the reception command analysis process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first receives a start winning command (a first start winning command or a second start winning command) from the game control board 100, in other words, receives a start winning command. It is judged whether it stored in the buffer (S4301). If the effect control microcomputer 121 has received the start winning command (YES in S4301), the process proceeds to step S4302, while if the start winning command is not received (NO in S4301), the process proceeds to step S4303.

  In step S4302, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs start winning processing in accordance with the game ball winning in the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12. In the start winning process, the received start winning command is stored in the start winning command hold storage unit 125 in the effect RAM 124. Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 analyzes the stored start winning command and determines whether or not to execute pre-reading effect indicating the jackpot expectation degree. The pre-read effect includes, in addition to the hold change notice display for carrying out the hold play in the special mode, continuous notice play and the like which are mutually associated over a plurality of continuous variable symbol displays of the special symbol. When it is determined to execute these pre-reading effects, the pre-reading effect start command for executing the determined effects is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124.

  When the prefetching effect start command set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4004), the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 performs a predetermined effect from the image ROM 142. The image is read out, and pre-reading effect by the image is performed on the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50. Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 controls the sound according to the contents of the pre-reading effect indicated by the pre-reading effect start command transmitted to the image control board 140 while the pre-reading effect by the image performed by the image control board 140 is being performed. A voice is output from the speaker 52 via the circuit 161 (pre-playing effect by voice is executed), and the frame lamp 53 is made to emit light through the sub drive substrate 162 (pre-reading effect by light emission is executed). It is possible to operate 55k (perform pre-reading effect by operation).

  In step S4303, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the symbol designation command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether or not the symbol designation command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the effect control microcomputer 121 has not received the symbol designating command (NO in S4303), the process proceeds to step S4305, while if the symbol designating command is received (YES in S4303), the symbol designating command is displayed in the RAM 124 for effect It is stored in the symbol designation command storage unit 126 (step S4304).

  In step S4305, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the special view change start command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether the special view change start command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the special figure change start command has not been received (NO in S4305), the process proceeds to step S4307, while if the special figure change start command has been received (YES in S4305), the contents of the special figure change presentation are determined , Special figure fluctuation production start process (S4306) for starting special figure fluctuation production is done.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 first stores the special figure change start command in the special figure change start command storage unit 127 in the effect RAM 124 in the special figure change effect start process. Then, based on the content (type of big hit symbol, lost special view) indicated by the symbol designation command already stored in step S4304 and the special figure change pattern indicated by the special figure change start command, the stop effect design is determined A stop symbol pattern determination table for performing stop symbol determination is selected. A plurality of stop symbol pattern determination tables are provided in association with the special figure and the special figure fluctuation pattern. Therefore, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects one stop symbol pattern determination table associated with the type of stop symbol and the special view fluctuation pattern. In each stop symbol pattern determination table, values of stop symbol pattern determination random numbers (stop symbol pattern determination values) are distributed to a plurality of stop effect symbols so as to obtain a predetermined distribution ratio (%). Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 acquires a value indicated by the stop symbol pattern determination random number counter as a stop symbol pattern determination random number, and performs stop symbol pattern determination based on the acquired stop symbol pattern determination random number. In the stop symbol pattern determination, the effect control microcomputer 121 collates the acquired stop symbol pattern determination random number with the selected stop symbol pattern table, determines the stop effect symbols, and determines the data representing the determined stop effect symbols. It is set in a predetermined area of the effect RAM 124. For example, if the special figure fluctuation pattern is a reach non-reach fluctuation, a combination of the rendering symbols EZ1 to EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is selected so as to be a so-called "barbed eye". In addition, if the special figure fluctuation pattern is reach presence lost fluctuation, with the left production design EZ1 and the right production design EZ3 in the same type, in the middle production design EZ2 become different types from them production pattern EZ1 ~ EZ3, A combination of small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is selected. Furthermore, if the special figure fluctuation pattern is big hit fluctuation, the combination of production design EZ1-EZ3 and small design KZ1-KZ3 is selected so that it becomes so-called "Zoro eyes" according to the production mode and the kind of big hit design. .

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines the special view change effect pattern which is the effect contents of the special view change effect based on the stay mode and the special view change pattern indicated by the special view change start command. A special drawing fluctuation presentation pattern determination table for performing drawing fluctuation presentation pattern determination is selected. A plurality of special figure fluctuation presentation pattern determination tables are provided in association with the presentation mode and the special drawing fluctuation pattern. Therefore, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects one special figure change effect pattern determination table associated with the special figure change pattern. In each of the special figure fluctuation effect pattern determination table, the value of the special figure fluctuation effect pattern determination random number for one or more special figure fluctuation effect patterns so that a predetermined distribution ratio (%) is obtained (special figure fluctuation effect pattern Judgment value) is distributed. Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 acquires the value indicated by the special figure fluctuation effect pattern determination random number counter as the special figure fluctuation effect pattern determination random number, and the special drawing based on the acquired special figure fluctuation effect pattern judgment random number Perform a fluctuation presentation pattern determination. The effect control microcomputer 121 collates the acquired special view change effect pattern determination random number with the selected special view change effect pattern table in the special view change effect pattern determination, and determines and determines the special view change effect pattern. The data representing the special figure variation rendering pattern is set in a predetermined area of the rendering RAM 124, and the special figure variation rendering start command representing the special figure variation rendering pattern is set in the output buffer of the rendering RAM 124.

  In addition to the special figure fluctuation production by the image display device 50, the special figure fluctuation production by the sound output from the speaker 52 and the special figure fluctuation by the light emission performed by the frame lamp 53 in the special figure fluctuation production start command The contents of the effect of the effect and the contents of the effect of the special figure fluctuation effect by the operation performed by the board movable body 55k are included.

  When the special view variation production start command set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4004), the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 receives a predetermined command from the image ROM 142. The effect image is read out, and the special view variation effect based on the image is performed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50. Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special view change effect content indicated by the special view change effect start command transmitted to the image control board 140 while the special view change effect by the image performed by the image control board 140 is being performed. In response to this, the voice is output from the speaker 52 via the voice control circuit 161 (A special figure variation effect by voice is executed), and the frame lamp 53 is made to emit light via the sub drive substrate 162 (a special figure by light emission The variation effect is executed), and the board movable body 55k is operated (the special figure variation effect by the operation is executed).

  If the special figure fluctuation pattern indicated by the special figure fluctuation start command is an SP reach fluctuation, the effect control microcomputer 121 starts the above-mentioned predetermined type of SP reach, specifically, the special figure fluctuation rendering of the SP reach A. The command is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124. However, this is because in the first embodiment, the option presented first in the selection effect is set to SP reach A, and the option presented first may be determined by lottery or the like. In that case, a special figure variation production start command of the type of SP reach determined by lottery can be set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for production.

  In step S4307, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the special view change stop command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether the special view change stop command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the effect control microcomputer 121 does not receive the special figure fluctuation stop command (NO in S4307), it proceeds to step S4309, while if the special figure fluctuation stop command is received (YES in S4307), the special figure fluctuation Special figure fluctuation production end processing (S4308) is performed to end the effect (stop the fluctuation display of the production symbol and perform the stop display).

  The effect control microcomputer 121 analyzes the special view change stop command in the special view change production end process, and based on the analysis result, ends the special view change production appropriately (description symbols EZ1 to EZ3, and the small symbol KZ1 A special view fluctuation presentation end command for stopping the fluctuation display of ~ KZ3) is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124. When the image control board 140 receives the special figure change production end command, it ends the special figure change production under execution (stops the effect designs EZ1 to EZ3 and the small designs KZ1 to KZ3 during change).

  In step S4309, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the big hit opening command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether or not the big hit opening command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the production control microcomputer 121 has not received the jackpot opening command (NO in S4309), the process proceeds to step S4311. If the jackpot opening command has been received (YES in S4309), the jackpot game opening is started. The accompanying jackpot opening effect start process is performed (S4310). In the big hit opening production start process, the production control microcomputer 121 analyzes the big hit opening command, and based on the analysis result, whether or not to execute the big hit opening production according to the big hit game opening to be executed from now on If it judges and executes, select the contents of the big hit opening production (big hit opening production pattern), and start the big hit opening production start command for starting the big hit opening production with the selected big hit opening production pattern of the production RAM 124 Set in the output buffer.

  In step S4311, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether a round number designation command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether a round number designation command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the round number designation command has not been received (NO in S4311), the process proceeds to step S4313. On the other hand, if the round number designation command has been received (YES in S4311), a round effect start process is performed along with the start of the round game. (S4312). In the round effect start process, the effect control microcomputer 121 analyzes the round number designation command and determines whether or not to execute the round effect according to the round game to be started from now, and if it is to be executed, the round effect The effect content (round effect pattern) of is selected, and a round effect start command corresponding to the selected round effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124.

  In step S4313, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the jackpot ending command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether the jackpot ending command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the jackpot ending command has not been received (NO in S4313), the process proceeds to step S4316, while if the jackpot ending command has been received (YES in S4313), the jackpot ending effect start processing associated with the start of the jackpot ending S4314), and effect mode setting processing (S4315) is performed.

  The production control microcomputer 121 analyzes the big hit ending command in the big hit ending production start process, determines whether or not to execute the big hit ending production according to the big hit game ending to be executed from now on, and executes it. If the jackpot ending effect presentation contents (jackpot ending effect pattern) is selected, a jackpot ending effect start command corresponding to the selected jackpot ending effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124.

  Moreover, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a process of setting the effect mode after the big hit game based on the analysis result of the big hit ending command in the production mode setting process, specifically, the big hit symbol indicated by the big hit ending command Process to control the mode).

  For example, when the jackpot symbol indicated by the jackpot ending command is the jackpot symbol A or the jackpot symbol D, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the probability variation presentation mode indicating the high probability high base gaming state. Then, an effect mode flag indicating the probability variation effect mode is turned on in a predetermined area of the effect RAM 124, and a probability variation effect mode start command indicating setting of the probability variation effect mode is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124. When the probability change effect mode start command set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4004), the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 ends the ending at the timing. , The background image for probability change G120 is displayed as the background image, and the BGM for probability change is output as the BGM.

  Also, for the effect control microcomputer 121, if the jackpot symbol indicated by the jackpot ending command is the jackpot symbol B, jackpot symbol C, jackpot symbol E, or jackpot symbol F, high probability high base gaming state, or low probability high base It is difficult to determine which of the gaming states it is, or to set a time reduction effect mode in which it is impossible to determine. Then, the effect control microcomputer 121 turns on the effect mode flag indicating the time-saving effect mode to the predetermined area of the effect RAM 124 and outputs the time-saving effect mode start command indicating the setting of the time-saving effect mode to the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 Set to When the time reduction effect mode start command set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4004), the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 ends the ending at the timing. , The background image G130 for short time is displayed as a background image, and the BGM for short time is output as BGM.

  In step S4316, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether a game state command has been received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether a game state command has been stored in the reception buffer. If the gaming state command has not been received (NO in S4316), the effect control microcomputer 121 proceeds to step S4318, while if the gaming state command has been received (YES in S4316), the gaming state command is analyzed and The game state setting process for specifying the game state represented by the game state command and setting the game state is performed (S4317).

  In the game state setting process, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a game state flag corresponding to the game state indicated by the game state command in the game state flag area of the effect RAM 124. For example, if the gaming state indicated by the gaming state command is the normal gaming state, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the gaming state flag “00H” in the gaming state flag area of the effect RAM 124. Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the game state flag “01H” in the game state flag area of the effect RAM 124 if the game state indicated by the game state command is the high probability high base game state. Furthermore, if the gaming state indicated by the gaming state command is the low probability high base gaming state, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the gaming state flag “02H” in the gaming state flag area of the effect RAM 124.

  In step S4318, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the customer waiting command is received from the game control board 100, in other words, whether or not the customer waiting command is stored in the reception buffer. If the effect control microcomputer 121 has not received the customer waiting command (NO in S4318), the reception command analysis process is finished, while if the customer waiting command is received (YES in S4318), the customer waiting effect waiting process (S4319), and the received command analysis process is ended.

  In the customer waiting effect waiting process, the effect control microcomputer 121 waits for a waiting time (for example, 20 seconds for waiting time for customer waiting effect) until the customer waiting effect is started after stop display of the effect pattern is performed. Set to timer. The effect control microcomputer 121 can determine whether or not the standby time has elapsed. If it is determined that the standby time has elapsed, the customer waiting effect start command for starting the customer waiting effect is displayed as the effect RAM 124 Set in the output buffer of

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can execute an option increase presentation in which options increase in the selection presentation. By executing the option increase effect, the special option which was not included in the option at the start of the selection effect is included in the option from the middle of the selection effect, giving the player a surprise and improving the fun of the game. be able to.

  Further, the option increase presentation is performed by determining that the option is to be increased by the option increase determination after the option increase lottery. Here, the option increase execution probability is higher at the time of big hit than at the time of loss. That is, since the player can expect a jackpot by increasing the special option as an option in the selection effect, the effect of the selection effect is enhanced.

  Furthermore, in the selection effect, the option can be switched and arbitrarily selected by operating the first effect button 40k. Then, since the option increase lottery and the option increase determination are executed by the operation of the first effect button 40k, the feeling of sensitivity to the option increase effect is enhanced, and the player feels that he has won a big hit it can.

  In addition, in the selection effect, since there is one option displayed on the display unit 50a, in other words, since not all options are presented at one time, it is necessary to enhance the excitement of whether or not the option increase effect is executed. Can. Furthermore, since the option increase presentation is performed when it is determined that the option is to be increased in the option increase determination, the execution timing of the option increase presentation is not specified. Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the excitement of whether or not the option increase presentation is performed.

  Furthermore, that the option increase effect is executed when it is determined that the special option is increased in the option increase determination, that is, before all the first normal option image G141 to the third normal option image G143 are displayed, that is, Usually, option increase presentation may be performed before all options are presented. Therefore, there may be a situation where it is difficult to identify which option is a special option. This can prevent monotonization of the option increase presentation.

  In addition, it is determined whether or not to increase the option by the option increase determination, and it may not be determined to increase the special option even in the case of the jackpot, so the option increase effect may not be executed during the selection effect. That is, even when the option increase presentation is not executed during the selection presentation, the possibility of winning a jackpot is not lost, so that it is possible to suppress the decrease in the game entertainment.

  Furthermore, in the selection effect, the option including the special option is associated with the effect contents of the SP reach performed after the selection effect. Therefore, it can be said that special SP reach (SP reach D) which is a special option has higher jackpot expectation than the normal SP reach (SP reach A to SP reach C) associated with the normal option. Therefore, it can be said that the option increase presentation increases options having a higher jackpot expectation than the normal option. In addition, the player can execute special SP reach because the player can execute special SP reach with a high expectation of jackpot by selecting option special effects by executing option increase presentation and selecting the special option. The sense of sensitivity to the subject is enhanced, and the effect of the option increase presentation can be enhanced.

  In addition, since the selection effect operation effective period related to the selection effect ends by expiration, the execution opportunity of the option increase effect is impaired, and it is possible to prevent the game interest from being lowered.

7. Modified Example The configuration of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 according to the present invention can be changed as follows. Below, the modification of pachinko game machine PY1 is demonstrated.

  The content of the SP reach is a baseball game, and the targets of the options related to the selected effect and the option increase effect are the opposing team and the opponent, but the contents of the SP reach and options are not limited to this, and may be set appropriately. good. Further, instead of the object of the option displayed on the display unit 50a, or in addition to the effect contents displayed on the display unit 50a, the effect contents of the effect by the sound output from the speaker 52, by the frame lamp 53 The content of the effect of the light emission effect or the effect of the operation effect by the movable board 55k may be used. Furthermore, a movable body capable of rendering may be further provided to make the target of the option the type of movable body capable of rendering.

  In the case of SP reach variation, the selection effect is always executed before the start of the SP reach, and in the SP reach after the selection effect, the SP reach of the type selected in the selection effect is executed, but the selection effect is executed. Instead, SP reach may be executed. In this case, the jackpot expectation may be the same or different depending on whether or not the selection effect is performed. If the jackpot expectation is set to be higher in the case where the selection effect is executed, the effect effects of the selection effect and the option increase effect are enhanced. Furthermore, when SP reach is sometimes performed without performing selection effect in SP reach, the jackpot expectation degree by the type of SP reach can be set appropriately. However, it is preferable that at least the jackpot expectation of the special SP reach is higher than the jackpot expectation of the normal SP reach. Moreover, in this case, the jackpot expectation degrees depending on the type of the SP reach may be the same or different.

  Further, in the selection effect of the first embodiment, normal options corresponding to all types of normal SP reach that can be performed are presented, but some may be presented. A part of this case is randomly selected, and it is also possible to make the jackpot expectation degrees indicated by the combination of the usual options presented in the selection effect the same. Also, the jackpot expectation may be made different depending on the combination of the usual options presented in the selection effect.

  Furthermore, in the option increase presentation of the first embodiment, although one predetermined special option increases, a plurality of types of special options that can be increased are provided, and by drawing and determination for selecting the type. The type of special option may be determined. In this case, the jackpot expectation degrees suggested by the types of special options may be the same or different. If different, it may be possible to include a special option for determining the jackpot. Furthermore, when there are a plurality of types of special options, a special increase effect may be performed a plurality of times in one selection effect, and a plurality of special options may be increased.

  In the first embodiment, the option increase effect is performed when it is determined that the option is increased in the option increase determination, but the execution timing of the option increase effect can be set as appropriate. For example, even if it is determined that the option is increased before the normal option cycle makes a round, the normal option is presented according to the normal option cycle at least until the normal option cycle makes a round, and the normal option makes a round Special option images may be displayed later to present special options. In this case, the effect of making it easy to understand which of the options is the normal option is exhibited. Alternatively, if it is determined that the option is to be increased, a special option image is displayed after the specific option such as after the last option of the last normal option cycle or after the next option, and the special option is presented. Also good. In addition, when it is determined that the option is to be increased, the execution timing of the option increase presentation may be determined by lottery and determination, such as at that time or after the next option. Further, the option increase lottery and the option increase determination may be performed after the normal option cycle makes one round.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the option increase lottery and the option increase determination are performed each time the first effect button 40k is executed, but, for example, the operation of the first effect button 40k of the selection effect operation valid period The option increase lottery and option increase determination are performed at a specific operation such as time, and if it is determined that the special option is to be increased, the execution timing of the option increase effect may be determined by a predetermined lottery and determination. Further, if the option increase lottery and the option increase determination are performed at the start of the special figure change effect, and it is determined that the special option is increased, the execution timing of the option increase effect may be determined by a predetermined lottery and determination. . In this case, the jackpot expectation may be the same or different depending on the execution timing of the option increase presentation. For example, the option increase effect may be more easily performed if the execution timing is earlier in the selection effect operation effective period. On the contrary, the option increase effect may be more easily performed if the execution timing is later.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the option increase execution probability is constant in the option increase determination, but may be varied. In the case of changing this probability, for example, the selection rendering operation effective period may be divided into a plurality of periods, and the option increase execution probability may be different depending on the divided period. In this case, the option increase execution probability may be increased as the divided section comes later. Also, the option increase execution probability may be lowered as the divided section comes later. Alternatively, the option increase execution probability may be increased each time the first effect button 40k is operated. Furthermore, the option increase execution probability may be lowered each time the first effect button 40k is operated. The option increase execution probability may be varied either in the case of a big hit or in the case of a loss.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the option increase execution probability in the case of the jackpot is uniformly set, but the option increase execution probability may be different depending on the type of the jackpot. For example, the “probability of determining to increase the choice” may be increased in the order of the jackpot symbol A> the jackpot symbol B> the jackpot symbol C.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the selection effect operation effective period does not end halfway, and the selection effect operation effective period continues until the expiration, and it is determined that the option selected at the end time is selected. The method is not limited to this, and may be set appropriately. For example, when the second effect button 41k is operated during the selection effect operation effective period, it is determined to be the option presented at that time, and the selection effect operation effective period ends at that time, and the selected option The main part of the SP reach may be started according to the type. When the first effect button 40k is subjected to a so-called "long press" during the selection effect operation effective period, it is determined to the option presented at that time, and the selection effect operation effective period ends at that point, and selection is made The main part of the SP reach may be started according to the type of option selected. Furthermore, a so-called "cross key" may be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the selection target may be switchable with the cross key, and the selection target may be determined by the operation of the first effect button 40k.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the selection target is switched by operating the first effect button 40k in the selection effect, but this switching is automatically switched, for example, every predetermined time (for example, one second), The options may be determined by operating the first effect button 40k. In this case, the option increase lottery and the option increase determination can be performed at the switch timing of the option.

  Moreover, in 1st Embodiment, although the presentation time of selection production is one type, multiple types of presentation time of selection presentation can also be provided. In this case, the jackpot expectation may be the same or different depending on the presentation time of the selected presentation. For example, the option increase execution probability may increase as the effect time of the selection effect increases. Further, the option increase execution probability may be lowered as the effect time of the selection effect becomes longer.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the operation for selecting an option in the selection effect is performed using the first effect button 40k, but is performed using another operation means such as the second effect button 41k. Also good. In this case, the second effect button 41k may be used instead of the first effect button 40k. In addition to the first effect button 40k, the second effect button 41k may be used. In this case, the "probability of determining that the option is increased" may be different between the operation of the first effect button 40k and the operation of the second effect button 41k. For example, the second effect button 41k may be higher than the first effect button 40k.

  In the first embodiment, the selection effect according to the present invention is performed before the SP reach, and the option of the selection effect including the option which is the target of the option increase effect is associated with the SP reach effect content. However, the effects for which the selection effect is performed and the contents of the options for the selection effect are not limited thereto, and can be changed as appropriate.

  For example, it is possible to execute the selection effect in one round and set the option of the selection effect to the effect contents in the round game after the second round. Then, for example, the number of rounds of the jackpot game is five or ten times, and common round effects can be executed until the end of the five rounds, and the number of rounds of the jackpot games is any round from the contents of the effect of round effects Do not know if it is a number. Further, the option increase execution probability is set to be higher when the number of rounds is 10 times than when the number of rounds is 5 times.

  As a specific example in this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 50 (A), when one round is started after the jackpot opening effect is performed, as shown in FIG. 50 (B), from two rounds A selection effect of causing the effect contents of the effect until the end of the fifth round (hereinafter referred to as “specific round effect”) to start is selected. In this selection effect, an image G91 (selection operation explanation image G91) is displayed to explain that the effect content of the specific round effect, that is, the type of the specific round effect to be selected can be switched by the operation of the first effect button 40k. Be done.

  In addition, a selection effect operation effective period occurs also in accordance with this selection effect. Here, it is assumed that the effective period for selection effect operation continues until the end of one round.

  The effect contents of the specific round effect are composed of various types of stories, and the options of the selection effect are associated with the contents of the story (Story A to Story D). Then, the first normal option to the third normal option are set as the normal options of the selection effect, the first normal option is associated with the story A, and the second normal option is associated with the story B, 3) It is assumed that the normal option is associated with the story C, and the special option is associated with the story D.

  As shown in FIG. 50 (B), first, an option image G92 representing the first normal option is displayed. Then, each time the first effect button 40k is operated, the contents of the option image G92 are switched as shown in FIG. 50 (C) to FIG. 50 (E). In the examples shown in FIG. 50 (C) to FIG. 50 (E), it is assumed that the determination result of the option increase determination is "dropout".

  Then, as in the case of the first embodiment, when the option increase condition is satisfied, the content of the option image G92 is switched to the special option, and the selection target is switched to the story D, as shown in FIG. In the selection effect in the jackpot game, it is suggested that the color of the option image G92 representing the special option is a special option by making the color of the option image G92 representing the normal option different.

  Also, since the special option increase effect is executed with a higher probability when the number of rounds is 10 times than when the number of rounds is 5 times, the player can play many rounds by executing the option increase effect. It can be expected that the jackpot game advantageous to the person is being executed. Then, when one round ends, a specific round presentation of a story of the type selected at the end of one round is executed from the second round to the fifth round.

  In addition, it is possible to execute the selection effect in the time reduction effect mode in which it is difficult to determine whether the state is the high probability state or the low probability state, and to set the option of the selection effect to BGM in the time reduction effect mode. Furthermore, it is set such that the set gaming state is higher in the option increase execution probability in the high probability high base gaming state than in the low probability high base gaming state.

  As a specific example in this case, for example, when the jackpot game is over and the time reduction effect mode is started, as shown in FIG. 51 (A), BGM in time reduction mode (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction BGM”) The selection effect for selecting the song of is started. In this selection effect, an image G93 (selection operation explanation image G93) is displayed to explain that the time-saving BGM, that is, the song for the time-saving BGM to be selected can be switched by the operation of the first effect button 40k. .

  Note that first to third normal options are set as the normal options for this selection effect, the first normal option is associated with song A, and the second normal option is associated with song B, 3) It is assumed that the normal option is associated with the song C and the special option is associated with the song D. Further, in FIG. 51, the display of the effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1 to KZ3 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 51 (A), a choice image G94 of contents representing a choice is displayed. In the selection effect in the short effect mode, the option image G94 displays the option to be selected under selection, the next option, and the last option. These three options are arranged side by side. The options to be selected are displayed in the middle. The next option is displayed above the option to be selected. The last choice is displayed below the choice to be selected. Also, the next option and the last option are obscured by the transparent gray background color. This is to indicate that it is not currently selected. Then, each time the first effect button 40k is operated, as shown in FIG. 51 (C) to FIG. 51 (D), the contents of the option image G94 are switched, and the selected time BGM is switched.

  Here, as in the case of the first embodiment, the contents of the option image G94 are switched as shown in FIG. 51 (E) to FIG. 51 (F) when the option increase condition is satisfied. Special options appear as the next option. Then, since the option increase effect is executed with a higher probability when the set gaming state is the high probability high base gaming state than in the case of the low probability high base gaming state, the player has the option increase effects By being executed, it can be expected that the game is currently progressing in a game state advantageous to the player. The execution period of the selection effect in the time reduction effect mode can be set as appropriate.

  Furthermore, although detailed explanation is omitted, it is also possible to perform selection presentation during demonstration presentation. For example, an item capable of selecting a predetermined effect content such as BGM is set in the setting screen G101 described above, and when the item is selected, it is possible to execute a selected effect capable of selecting a predetermined effect content. At this time, there is a higher probability that the choice is increased in the case where the gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, high probability low base gaming state) is more disadvantageous than the case where the gaming state is disadvantageous (for example low probability low base gaming state) Make the presentation run.

  Moreover, the target of the option of the selection effect is not limited to the SP reach, the specific round effect, and the time-saving BGM, and may be a so-called "preliminary action" or "prefetch effect". In this case, the option can be associated with the type of "preliminary action" or "prediction effect". In the case of the advance notice action, it is possible to associate so-called “pseudo chain” or “cut in” with the option. On the other hand, in the case of pre-reading effect, so-called "hold change advance notice" or "zone effect" can be associated with the option. Then, after the selection effect, the "prediction action" and the "prediction effect" of the type selected in the selection effect are executed.

  Furthermore, the target of the option of the selection effect may be associated with an effect stage that can be set in the same gaming state. In this case, after the selected effect, an effect (in particular, special figure fluctuation effect) is performed on the effect stage selected in the selected effect. Further, the target of the option of the selection effect may not be associated with the content of the effect but with the volume, the light amount, or the execution frequency of the advance notice action.

  Further, in the selection effect, the option increases when the option increase condition is established, but the option does not increase, and in the selection effect, when the option replacement condition is satisfied, the option replacement effect may be executed. In this case, the options presented first are a plurality of normal options. Then, every time the first effect button 40k is operated, as in the option increase determination, the option replacement determination of whether to replace the options is performed. Here, if it is determined that the option is to be replaced, the predetermined normal option is replaced with the special option, and as a result, the special option is added.

  Furthermore, in the selection effect, the option increases when the option increase condition is established, but the option does not increase, and the option decrease effect in which the option decreases when the option decrease condition is satisfied may be possible in the selection effect . In this case, the options presented first include special options that may be excluded from the options and normal options that are not excluded, and at first, the normal option and the special options are mixed and the appropriate order In order to present. Then, every time the first effect button 40k is operated, as in the option increase determination, the option decrease determination as to whether or not to decrease the option is performed. Here, the special option is not presented when it is determined that the option is reduced. That is, even in the order in which the special options are presented after such determination, the special options are skipped and the next normal option is presented.

  Such option reduction effect may be performed with a higher probability in the case of a lose than in the case of a big hit. Alternatively, the option reduction effect may be performed with a higher probability in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss. Also, the special option may be set to one, and the normal option may be set to a plurality. On the contrary, one option may be generally set and a plurality of special options may be set.

  The option increase condition, the option exchange condition, and the option decrease condition are collectively referred to as “option change condition”. Further, the option increase determination, the option replacement determination, and the option decrease determination are collectively referred to as “option change determination”. Further, the option increase effect, the option replacement effect, and the option decrease effect are collectively referred to as “option change effect”.

  Also, in the first embodiment, when the special option is added and the option increases, this is not suggested, but for example, when the special option is added, for example, a special sound effect is output. Or, the frame lamp 53 may emit light in a special light emission mode or the like to indicate that.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the big winning opening 14 can be opened by a big hit game, but in addition to the big winning opening 14, a winning area that can be opened by a big hit game may be provided.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when it is determined to the specific jackpot symbol type, the game proceeds with a high probability state after the jackpot game without fail. That is, the setting of the high probability state is associated with the jackpot symbol type. However, the setting condition of the high probability state may be changed. For example, the second big winning device which can be opened and closed separately from the big winning device 14D and can enter the gaming ball at the opening time is provided at a position where the gaming ball of the gaming area 6 can reach, When a game ball that has opened the second big winning device and entered the second big winning device in a predetermined round game passes a specific area provided downstream thereof, a high probability state occurs with the end of the big hit game May be set.

  In this case, for example, a specific big hit symbol (a big hit symbol that makes it easy to set a high probability state) that the second big winning device opens an easy-to-enter time (for example, 29.5 seconds) and the second big winning device enters It is possible to provide a non-specific jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that makes it difficult to set a high probability state) that opens for a difficult time (for example, 0.5 seconds). Further, there are a specific area and a non-specific area as areas through which the game ball that has won the second big winning device can pass, and a sorting apparatus is provided which distributes the gaming ball to the specific area and the non-specific area. And, the opening time of the second big winning device is the same, but with the combination of the opening mode of the second big winning device and the operation mode of the sorting device, the jackpot symbol and the high probability state are easy to set the high probability state It is also possible to provide a jackpot design that is difficult to set.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game control board 100 performs basic control related to the progress of the game, and basic control related to the progress of the effect according to the progress of the game (control of the game) effect control board 120 Although the control of the game and the control of the effect are performed on different substrates as in the case of FIG. In this case, the image control substrate 140 may be included in the one substrate or may be provided separately from the one substrate.

  In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention can be applied to other ball and ball gaming machines such as arrange ball machines and ball ball machines and so forth, or torso type gaming machines (so-called "slot machines").
