There is one that performs a change display effect of a holding display body such as changing to a holding display body. And, as described in Patent Document 1, such a change display of the hold display body is often performed by displaying a predetermined character on the display unit for effect.

JP 2014-147492 A

  However, the change effect of the holding display body using characters and the like as described in Patent Document 1 has already been adopted in a large number of gaming machines, and there is a problem that the fresh taste is poor.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine with a novel change effect of a holding display body and high gaming properties.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a symbol display unit capable of changing / determining symbols, an effect display unit for performing various display effects, and a special winning means having a movable member that can be opened and closed. And a control means for controlling an operation relating to a game and a display operation in the symbol display section and the effect display section, the control means at least based on satisfaction of a predetermined lottery condition The special game state in which the special winning display means is activated in a predetermined manner, based on the final display of the symbol and the variation time of the symbol, and the final display of the symbol in a special final display mode. While storing information related to determination of the fixed display mode of the symbol and the variation time of the symbol based on the satisfaction of the lottery condition as hold information up to a predetermined number While a normal holding display body is added as a holding display body in the effect display unit, the hold information is digested according to a predetermined order in accordance with the fixed display of the symbol, and further, the change / confirmation is performed in the effect display unit. A game machine that stores decorative symbols to be displayed, and causes the decorative display to change / determine display in response to the change / deterministic display of the symbols in the symbol display unit, The control means stores special symbols that are changed / stop displayed on the effect display unit, and the control means displays the background display on the effect display unit as a special background display when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied. In the special background display, the special symbol is changed / stopped according to the change / deterministic display of the symbol, and the special symbol is displayed during the change display of the symbol. When the stop display is performed in the display mode, at least one of the normal hold display bodies displayed on the effect display unit is accompanied with the stop display, and the special hold display body is a different hold display body. On the other hand, in accordance with the switching to the special background display, the decorative design is displayed in a reduced manner on the effect display unit, and the decorative design is changed / displayed in a reduced display according to the change / deterministic display of the design. It is characterized in that it is confirmed and displayed.

Next, the control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control device 30 incorporates a main control board 31 on which a main CPU 32 for controlling the operation of the following members as well as execution of the big hit lottery, a storage means 33 such as a ROM and a RAM, a timer 34, an interface 35 and the like are mounted. Yes. The main control board 31 is connected to the start winning opening 19, the first grand prize winning device 17, the second big prize winning device 18, the prize winning device 20, the special symbol display unit 83, and the like via the interface 35. . The main control board 31 is also electrically connected to a sub-integrated board 41 built in the sub-control device 40. Although omitted in FIG. 4, the main control board 31 is also connected to the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, and the like via the interface 35.

  The storage means 33 includes an a counter used for an open lottery for determining whether or not to open the movable piece of the winning device 20, a c counter (a random number for jackpot determination) used for the big win lottery, and a first in the special symbol display unit 83. D counter (determined display mode determining random number) for determining the fixed display mode of the special symbol and the second special symbol, and e counter (variable time information) for determining the basic variation pattern that is mainly the variation time of the special symbol and the decorative symbol A plurality of counters such as a random number for determination) are incorporated. Each counter is a loop counter that counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on. The acquisition of numerical values used can be regarded as acquisition of numerical values from random numbers. The a counter is 0-10 (11 ways), the c counter is 0-300 (301 ways), the d counter is 0-4 (5 ways), and the e counter is 0-0. A loop count is performed between 170 (171 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 obtains one numerical value from the a counter triggered by the detection of the passing of the game ball in the winning device 20, and the c counter triggered by the winning detection at the starting winning port 19 of the gaming ball or the winning device 20. , D counter, and e counter each obtain one numerical value (a big hit lottery is executed).

  Further, the storage means 33 includes a fixed display mode determination table in which the numerical value of the d counter is associated with the fixed display mode of the first special symbol and the second special symbol that are fixedly displayed on the special symbol display unit 83, and FIG. As shown, a basic variation pattern determination table or the like in which the value of the e counter is associated with the basic variation pattern is stored. This basic variation pattern mainly defines the variation time of special symbols (the time from the variation start to the final display). Further, in the storage means 33, for example, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 19 or the winning device 20 while either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed in the special symbol display unit 83. In addition, the c counter, d counter, and e counter values associated with the winning are stored as hold information, and a maximum of four (up to a total of eight) are stored in a state in which the starting winning port 19 and the winning device 20 are distinguished. A hold information storage area 36 is provided. In addition, in the storage means 33, the hold information stored in the hold information storage area 36 can be transferred and stored one by one, and the jackpot determination such as whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot is executed. A jackpot determination storage area 37 is provided. Note that the hold information is sequentially transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37 in a predetermined order and digested every time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and displayed (in the pachinko machine 1, the hold information related to winning in the winning device 20 is held). The information is digested in preference to the hold information related to winning in the start winning opening 19), and new hold information can be stored along with the digestion.

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage unit 43, a timer 44, an interface 45, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 through the interface 45, and is also electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52. In addition, the sub-integrated board 41 is also electrically connected to the game button 25 and the electric accessory via the interface 45. When the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal (such as various commands as will be described later) related to the big hit lottery from the main control board 31 as will be described later, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device in accordance with the contents, and the speaker 14 and the lamp The operation of the member 15 and the display operation of the decorative symbols on the effect display unit 6 are controlled. Further, as will be described later, the operation related to the change display effect of the hold display body such as changing the hold display body from the normal hold display body 70 to the first special hold display body 71 or the like is controlled.

  In addition, the storage means 43 includes a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing decorative symbols to be displayed on the effect display unit 6, a detailed variation display mode of the decorative symbols, a character effect using a character animation, and the like. A variation pattern storage area 46 storing a plurality of detailed variation patterns is provided, and various detailed variation patterns are stored in association with basic variation patterns determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIG. ing. Further, the storage means 43 is provided with a schedule information storage area 47 for storing schedule information transmitted from the main control board 31 as will be described later.

Hereinafter, basic game operations in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described.
First, in the pachinko machine 1, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 19 or the winning device 20, the winning is detected by the main CPU 32 (satisfaction of lottery conditions). Then, the main CPU 32 pays out a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls as prize balls, acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter, d counter, and e counter at the timing of winning detection, and further holds the hold information. It is confirmed whether or not the number of pending information stored in the storage area 36 has reached the maximum value. If the number of pending information has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical values from the c counter, d counter, and e counter are deleted without being stored. On the other hand, if the maximum value has not been reached, the numerical values obtained from the c counter, d counter, and e counter (that is, information related to the determination display mode of the symbol and the determination of the symbol variation time based on the satisfaction of the lottery conditions) are suspended In addition to storing the information in the information storage area 36 and referring to the jackpot determination table set for each gaming state, the numerical value acquired from the c counter this time is a predetermined “big hit value (for example, in the jackpot determination table in the normal state,“ In the jackpot determination table in the high probability state, “0”, “30”, “60”, “90”, “120”, “150”, “180”, “210” are set. "", "240", and "270" in 10 ways) "(that is, whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is" Big Jack ") and the" Big Jack " Based on the determination result based on the determination result, a special symbol fixed display mode (in the case of “big hit”) based on the value acquired from the d-counter and the winning prize opening 19 or the prize winning device 20 Is the type of “big hit”), and what happens to the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the numerical value obtained from the e-counter based on the judgment result related to “big hit”, as a prior judgment in advance of the jackpot judgment described later Determine once. Further, the main CPU 32 includes information indicating which of the starting winning a prize opening 19 and the winning apparatus 20 is based on the winning information as a result of the prior determination, and what number of the holding information is based on the information. Schedule information is created and transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

  Further, the main CPU 32 always confirms whether the special symbol is variably displayed in the special symbol display unit 83 or whether the special symbol is displayed, and which of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is determined. If there is a fixed display, the presence or absence of pending information is confirmed. Then, if there is holding information, the holding information having the highest priority to be digested (in this embodiment, if there is holding information relating to winning to the winning device 20, the holding information that has been stored the earliest among the holding information). If there is no holding information related to winning in the winning device 20, the holding information related to winning in the start winning opening 19 becomes the oldest stored holding information), and shifts to the jackpot determination storage area 37 At the same time, the following jackpot determination is executed for the hold information. That is, with reference to the jackpot determination table corresponding to the gaming state at the time when the hold information is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37, the numerical value acquired from the c counter related to the hold information is the predetermined “bonus value”. Whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” or “missed” is determined. In addition, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “Big Jack” (the value acquired from the c counter is “Big Jack Value”), the value acquired from the d counter and the winning winning opening 19 and the winning device 20 will be won. And determining the fixed display mode of the special symbol based on whether or not the basic variation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the e counter is read using the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Determine the basic variation pattern including type and symbol variation time). On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “out of” (the value obtained from the c counter is a value other than the “hit number”), any of the obtained value from the d counter and the start winning opening 19 and the winning device 20 Based on whether or not a prize has been won, the final display mode of the special symbol is determined, and the basic variation pattern corresponding to the acquired value from the e counter is read using the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. , Determine the basic variation pattern including the variation time of the symbol).

  Thereafter, the main CPU 32 determines which of the start winning slot 19 and the winning device 20 is associated with the winning, the result of the jackpot lottery (whether it is a “hit” or “out”), and determination of a special symbol. A start command including information indicating the display mode and the type of the read basic variation pattern is created, and the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. Further, in the special symbol display section 83, the first special symbol indicates that the reserved information relating to the winning at the start winning opening 19 is digested, and the second special symbol indicates that the reserved information relating to the winning in the winning device 20 is digested. Are varied in a predetermined manner, and the timer 34 starts timing. When the symbol variation time corresponding to the read basic variation pattern elapses, the value obtained from the d-counter and the winning prize opening 19 and the prize winning device 20 are awarded based on the result of the jackpot lottery. The corresponding special symbol is displayed in a fixed display mode based on whether it is present, and a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

  As for the special symbols to be confirmed and displayed, for example, the result of the jackpot lottery based on the winning at the start winning opening 19 is “Big Jack”, and the numerical value obtained from the d counter is “0” to “2”. In this case, “7” which is a special jackpot special symbol fixed display mode (special determined display mode) as “probable variation jackpot”, “big jackpot”, and the acquired numerical value from the d counter is “3” or “4” In the case of "", the first special symbol is determined and displayed with "2" which is a non-specific jackpot special symbol fixed display mode (special fixed display mode) as "non-probable variation jackpot". In addition, when the result of the jackpot lottery based on winning in the winning device 20 is “big hit” and the value obtained from the d counter is “0” to “2”, the specific jackpot is determined as “probable big hit” If the special symbol confirmation display mode (special confirmation display mode) is “3”, “big hit”, and the value obtained from the d counter is “3” or “4”, then “non-probable change big hit” "4" which is the non-specific big hit special symbol fixed display mode (special fixed display mode), and the second special symbol is fixedly displayed. On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery based on the winning at the start winning opening 19 is “missing”, the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed with “−” which is the losing confirmation display mode, and based on the winning to the winning device 20. When the result of the big hit lottery is “out of”, the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed with “−” which is the same as the off-set confirmation display mode.

  Further, the main CPU 32 determines that the result of the jackpot lottery based on the winning at the start winning opening 19 is “big hit”, and after the final display in the special finalized display mode of the first special symbol, the main CPU 32 is in the special gaming state. A jackpot state is generated, which includes a start demo for notifying the start of one jackpot state, intermittent opening of the first jackpot device 17 for a predetermined number of times, and an end demo for notifying the end of the jackpot state. On the other hand, if the result of the big win lottery based on the winning to the winning device 20 is “big hit”, the main CPU 32 displays the second special symbol in the special final display state after the final display in the special final display mode. The jackpot state is generated, which includes a start demo for notifying the start of the jackpot state, intermittent opening of the second jackpot device 18 for a predetermined number of times, and an end demo for notifying the end of the jackpot state. Then, when a game ball wins the first big winning device 17 or the second big winning device 18 established with the occurrence of the big hit state, more game balls are compared to the case where the winning ball is won at the start winning port 19 or the winning device 20. (For example, 10) are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, when the jackpot state caused due to “probability jackpot” is ended, the main CPU 32 determines that the result of the jackpot lottery in the next jackpot determination is “jackpot” (depending on the type). The probability that the result of the jackpot lottery will be a “hit” will occur as described above, and the movable piece of the winning device 20 is likely to be in an open state, or is open for a long time. As a result, at least one of the two is caused to cause a support state in which a game ball is likely to win a prize in the winning apparatus 20.
On the other hand, when the big hit state caused by “non-probable big hit” ends, after the big hit state ends, the total number of fixed display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a specific number of times ( For example, the above support state is caused only to reach 100 times). Note that the item “until the result of the jackpot lottery becomes“ big hit ”in the next jackpot determination” may be realized by setting the specific number of times to 10,000, for example.

  The opening / closing operation of the movable piece of the winning device 20 is also controlled by the main CPU 32, and when the game ball passes the passage detecting unit of the winning device 20, the passage is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the a counter at the timing of passage detection (performs an open lottery), and the acquired numerical value from the a counter is a predetermined “open numerical value (for example, a support state has occurred. It is determined whether or not “10” from “0” to “9” is only one of “0” if the support state has not occurred). When the numerical value acquired from the a counter is “open numerical value”, that is, when the result of the open lottery is “winning”, the movable piece is operated from the closed state to the open state in a predetermined manner. At this time, if the support state occurs, for example, a special opening operation such as a mode in which the open state is intermittently repeated three times over a longer time (2 seconds) than when the support state does not occur The movable piece is actuated in a manner. Therefore, in the winning device 20, it becomes easy for the game ball to win a winning detection unit provided on the downstream side of the movable piece. On the other hand, if the support state does not occur, it can be moved in a normal opening operation mode such as being opened only once for a shorter time (0.2 seconds) than when the support state is occurring, for example. Activate the strip. Therefore, even if the open lottery is won and the movable piece opens, the game ball is extremely difficult to win the winning detection unit.

  Further, if the numerical value acquired from the a counter is not “open numerical value”, that is, if the result of the open lottery is “missing”, the movable piece is not operated in the closed state. Therefore, the game ball does not win the winning detection unit. In addition, when the passing of the game ball is detected during the operation of the movable piece or the like, the numerical value of the a counter acquired at the timing of the passage is stored in the storage means 33 up to a predetermined number, similarly to the hold information, and the movable piece Each time the operation is completed, confirmation of the result of the open lottery is executed in the order stored.

  On the other hand, when receiving the schedule information, the sub integrated CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47 and additionally displays the hold display body (for example, the normal hold display body 70) determined as described later on the effect display unit 6. . Further, when the start command is received, when the hold display body is displayed on the effect display unit 6, the hold display body corresponding to the received start command is moved to the predetermined digestion position R in the effect display unit 6. In addition, the symbol is erased in a predetermined manner until the symbol is fixedly displayed (that is, the stop command is received). Further, the schedule information corresponding to the start command is read from the schedule information storage area 47 and deleted. In addition, the display pattern of the decorative symbol to be finally displayed is determined according to the information related to the result of the jackpot lottery included in the start command and the final display mode of the special symbol, and the basic variation pattern The detailed variation pattern corresponding to the information is read from the variation pattern storage area 46 and timed by the timer 44, the decorative symbols on the effect display unit 6 are variably displayed according to the read detailed variation pattern, or the electric accessory is operated. Etc. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the decorative design is displayed on the effect display unit 6 in the determined display mode. In other words, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “probable jackpot”, a specific jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, “7 / 7.7” or “3.3.3”) in which three identical special decorative symbols are arranged. If the result of the jackpot lottery is “non-probable variation jackpot”, a non-specific jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, “2.2.2” or “2”) in which three identical decorative symbols other than a special decorative symbol are arranged. 4. Confirm display with 4.4.4. Also, if the result of the big hit lottery is “missing”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is displayed in a definite decorative symbol display mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”) different from the other two decorative symbols. Let

  Further, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 causes the big hit state to occur, for example, during the start demonstration, the sub-integrated CPU 42 notifies the start of the big hit state using the effect display unit 6, and the first big winning device 17 or the second big winning device. When the opening of 18 is started, the display effect on the effect display unit 6 corresponding to the type of “big hit” or the like is read from the storage means 43 and the display operation on the effect display unit 6 is controlled. Furthermore, when the end demonstration is reached, the effect display unit 6 is used to notify the player that the jackpot state is over.

Here, when the game on the pachinko machine 1 by the player is described in accordance with a general flow, the player starts the game from a normal state in which no high probability state or support state has occurred, and the handle 9 Is operated to rotate the launching device 10 to drive a game ball into the game area 16 through the launch passage 13, and first flow down the left-handed space SL to win the game ball at the start winning opening 19. Aim. Then, when the result of the jackpot lottery with the winning game balls is “big jackpot” and the first jackpot state occurs, the game balls are aimed to win the first big prize device 17 that is intermittently established. In addition, after the jackpot state is over, when the support state occurs, “right-handed” is performed to flow down the right-handed space SR, aiming to win the game ball to the winning device 20 in which the game ball is easy to win in the support state. . Then, when the second big hit state occurs due to the winning of the game ball to the winning device 20, the “right-handed” is continued, and the game ball is aimed to win the second big winning device 18 that is intermittently established. . On the other hand, when the support state ends without the result of the jackpot lottery result being “big hit”, the game returns to the above-described game where the “right-handed” is stopped and the left-handed space SL is made to flow down.
Further, after a predetermined change condition such as winning a change destination lottery as will be described later is satisfied, the background display of the effect display unit 6 is changed to a specific background display under the control of the sub-control device 40. Then, the change display is changed in the display 6 for display (for example, the display is changed from the normal hold display 70 to the first special hold display 71), and the player has the expectation that the big hit state will occur. It will be.

(Explanation about change display of hold display body)
Here, the change effect of the holding display body in the effect display unit 6 which is the main part of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart relating to the transition to the special mode. FIG. 14 is a flowchart related to the effect in the special mode. 15-24 is explanatory drawing which showed the one aspect | mode which concerns on the production in a special mode.

First, the addition and digestion of the holding display body in the effect display unit 6 will be described.
The sub-integrated CPU 42 holds the hold information in the lower left part of the effect display unit 6 when the hold information associated with the winning to the start winning opening 19 is generated (that is, the schedule information resulting from the winning to the start winning opening 19 is received). One display body (for example, the normal hold display body 70) is additionally displayed. In the additional display of the hold display body, if no hold display body is displayed (that is, there is no hold information related to winning at the start winning opening 19), the hold is displayed at the first display position P1 closest to the center. When one display body is displayed (that is, there is already one hold information related to winning at the start winning opening 19), the hold display body is displayed at the second display position P2 adjacent to the left of the first display position P1. When two are displayed (that is, there are already two pieces of hold information related to winning at the start winning opening 19), three hold display bodies are displayed at the third display position P3 adjacent to the left of the second display position P2. And a mode in which a hold display body is additionally displayed at the fourth display position P4 adjacent to the left of the third display position P3 when the hold information (that is, there are already three pieces of hold information related to winning at the start winning opening 19). Become.

  On the other hand, the sub-integrated CPU 42 holds the information in the lower right portion of the effect display unit 6 when the holding information associated with the winning device 20 is generated (that is, the schedule information resulting from the winning device 20 is received). Add one indicator. When adding the hold display body, if no hold display body is displayed (that is, there is no hold information related to winning a prize to the winning device 20), the special hold is placed at the first special display position Q1 closest to the center. When one display object is displayed (that is, there is already one hold information related to winning in the winning device 20), the special hold display is displayed at the second special display position Q2 to the right of the first special display position Q1. When two bodies are displayed (that is, there are already two pieces of hold information related to winning in the winning device 20), the special hold display body is displayed at the third special display position Q3 to the right of the second special display position Q2. Are displayed (that is, there are already three pieces of hold information related to winning in the winning device 20), a hold indicator is added to each of the fourth special display positions Q4 to the right of the third special display position Q3. It becomes a mode of doing.

  In addition, the digest display position R of the holding display body is provided at the lower center of the effect display unit 6, and when the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives the start command, the holding display body (or the first special display position) at the first display position P1 is received. After the holding display body at the display position Q1 is moved to the digestion position R, the reservation display body at the digestion position R is erased in a predetermined display mode immediately before the decorative design is fixedly displayed (digest the reservation display body). ). Furthermore, according to the movement of the holding display body at the first display position P1 to the digestion position R, the display positions of the holding display bodies at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the center side. (For example, moving the holding display body at the second display position or the third display position to the first display position or the second display position, respectively), while moving the holding display body at the first special display position Q1. In accordance with the movement to the digestion position R, one of the display positions of the holding display bodies at the second special display position Q2 to the fourth special display position Q4 is moved to the center side. Note that various hold display bodies, display modes related to movement of the display positions, display modes related to digestion, and the like are stored in a hold effect storage area 48 provided in the storage unit 43 of the sub-control device 40. Reference numeral 66 denotes a decorative symbol that is fluctuated / confirmed in the effect display unit 6, and 67 is a variable display area of each decorative symbol 66.

  When the change condition such as winning the change destination lottery in the normal state is satisfied, the sub-control device 40 changes the hold display body from the normal hold display body 70 to the first special hold display body 71 and the like on the effect display unit 6. The change display of the holding display body to be changed to is executed. The moving image data related to the change of the hold display body is also stored in the hold effect storage area 48. Further, in relation to the change display effect of the holding display body, whether or not to change the holding display body displayed at the first display position P1 to the fourth display position P4 to the special holding display body and at what timing. As with the jackpot lottery, it is determined using the acquisition of numerical values from random numbers, and the storage means 43 loops between 0 and 99 (100 ways) at high speed, like the c counter used for the jackpot lottery. A built-in f counter (change destination determination random number) for counting and a g counter (change pattern determination random number) for loop counting between 0 to 99 (100 types) at high speed are incorporated. Further, in the hold effect storage area 48 of the storage means 43, a change destination determination table as shown in FIG. 8 and a plurality of types of scenarios (change patterns) for changing the hold display as shown in FIGS. ) And a scenario determination table and the like are also stored.

Therefore, first, the control related to the scenario determination of the change display effect of the hold display body and the additional display of the hold display body will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  As described above, when “winning” is performed in the change destination lottery executed in response to the reception of the schedule information and any one of the scenarios 1 to 30 is set, the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information is the first. Before moving from the display position P1 to the digestion position R, the normal hold display body 70 changes to the first special hold display body 71 or the second special hold display body 72, or the first hold instead of the normal hold display body 70. The change display effect of the hold display body such as the special hold display body 71 and the second special hold display body 72 being additionally displayed is executed.

  Further, when the transition condition is satisfied in the normal state, the sub-control device 40 starts from the normal mode in which the background display of the effect display unit 6 is the normal background display, and the background display is the special background display 75 as shown in FIG. The special mode effect is executed such that the special symbols 65A to 65D described later are changed / stopped. The special background display 75 and the moving image data used for the special mode effect are stored in a special effect storage area 49 provided in the storage unit 43. Further, whether or not to shift to the special mode is determined by using the acquisition of a numerical value from a random number similar to the jackpot lottery, and the storage means 43 has a high speed as in the c counter used for the jackpot lottery. A built-in h counter (random number for mode transition determination) for loop counting from 0 to 9 (10 types) is incorporated.

  Then, the display mode on the effect display unit 6 in the special mode will be described. In the central part of the effect display unit 6 switched to the special background display 75, the special symbols 65A to 65D are displayed in a variable / stopped manner. A special symbol display area 60 in which the special variation display areas 61A, 61B,... Are arranged in a honeycomb shape is formed. The center special fluctuation display area 61A, the upper left special fluctuation display area 61B, and the lower right special fluctuation display area 61G L1, the middle special fluctuation display area 61A, the upper right special fluctuation display area 61C, and the lower left special fluctuation display area 61C. Three lines are formed: L2 by the special fluctuation display area 61F, L3 by the special fluctuation display area 61A at the center, the left side special fluctuation display area 61D, and the right side special fluctuation display area 61E. Yes. In addition, the types of special symbols 65A to 65E that can be stopped and displayed in each of the special fluctuation display areas 61A, 61B,... Are preset, and “☆” is set in the special fluctuation display area 61B and the special fluctuation display area 61G. The special symbol 65A and the special symbol 65B marked “◯” can be stopped and displayed. Furthermore, the special symbol 65A and the special symbol 65C designated as “Δ” are displayed in the special variation display region 61C and the special variation display region 61F, and the special symbol 65A and the special symbol 65A are displayed in the special variation display region 61D and the special variation display region 61E. And the special symbol 65D indicated as “□” can be stopped and displayed. In addition, all the special symbols 65A to 65D can be stopped and displayed in the special variation display area 61A. The decorative symbols 66, 66,... Displayed in the normal state are reduced and displayed on the upper left of the effect display unit 6 together with the variable display areas 67, 67,. Moreover, about a holding | maintenance display body, it is displayed on the lower part of the display part 6 for production like a normal state.

  In such a special symbol display area 60, under the control of the sub-control device 40, the special symbols start to fluctuate in the special variation display areas 61A to 61G in response to reception of the start command (for example, FIG. )). First, one special symbol is stopped and displayed in two places of the special fluctuation display areas 61B and 61G (for example, in FIG. 15B, the special symbol 65A is displayed in the special fluctuation display area 61B. Special symbols 65B are stopped and displayed). Next, one special symbol is stopped and displayed in two places of the special variation display areas 61C and 61F (for example, in FIG. 16A, the special symbol 65A is stopped and displayed in both the special variation display areas 61C and 61F, respectively. Have been). Further, one special symbol is stopped and displayed in two places of the special variation display areas 61D and 61E (for example, in FIG. 16B, the special symbol 65A is specially displayed in the special variation display area 61D and the special variation display area 61E is specially displayed. The symbols 65D are stopped and displayed). Finally, one special symbol is stopped in the special variation display area 61A (for example, the special symbol 65C is stopped in FIG. 17A), and the special symbol is stopped in all the special variation display areas 61A to 61G. Display. In addition, after the special symbols are stopped and displayed in all the special variation display areas 61A to 61G, the sub control device receives the stop command. In other words, in all the special variation display areas 61A to 61G, the special symbol is stopped before the stop command is received.

Then, the control related to the transition to the special mode and the special symbol stop display in the special mode effect will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
When the sub-integration CPU 42 receives the schedule information from the main CPU 32 in the normal mode (S11), after confirming whether the schedule information is based on winning at the start winning opening 19, the change destination lottery as described above, etc. The control related to the setting of the scenario is executed and the content of the schedule information is referred to, and it is confirmed whether the variation time of the symbol related to the schedule information is equal to or greater than the basic variation patterns C1 and C2. That is, it is confirmed whether or not a predetermined second game condition is satisfied (S12). As a result, if the variation time of the symbol related to the schedule information is equal to or greater than the basic variation patterns C1 and C2, the schedule information storage area 47 is referred to as the second game condition is satisfied (determined as YES in S12). Among the schedule information that is prioritized over the schedule information received this time, the schedule information for which the scenario is set, the schedule information for which the symbol variation time is equal to or greater than the basic variation pattern B, and the result of the jackpot lottery It is confirmed whether any of the schedule information having “big hit” exists. That is, it is confirmed whether or not a predetermined third game condition is satisfied (S13). As a result, if none of the schedule information for which the scenario is set, the schedule information for which the variation time of the symbol is equal to or greater than the basic variation pattern B, and the schedule information for which the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” is present, If the condition is satisfied (determined as YES in S13), one numerical value is acquired from the h counter, that is, a mode transition lottery is executed (S14). Then, if the acquired numerical value from the h counter is a predetermined “transition numerical value (for example,“ 0 ”), that is, the result of the mode transition lottery is“ winning ”(determined as YES in S14), the schedule information is received. In response to the start of the change of the special symbol (and decorative symbol) related to the start command received first after that, the background display of the effect display unit 6 is switched to the special background display 75, for example, to shift to the special mode. A mode effect is executed (S15). Then, as described later, when the special mode effect ends (determined as YES in S16), the background display is returned to the normal background display to shift to the normal mode (S17). Wait for information to be received.

  On the other hand, the received schedule information is based on winning in the winning device 20, or no scenario is set for the received schedule information, and the variation time of the symbol related to the schedule information is the basic variation pattern C1, If it is less than C2 (here, B or less), it is determined that the second game condition is not satisfied (determined as NO in S12), and the control related to the special mode is performed without confirming the third game condition. End and wait for new schedule information to be received. Further, among the schedule information that is digested with priority over the schedule information received this time, there is schedule information for which a scenario is set, and schedule information for which the symbol variation time is equal to or greater than the basic variation pattern B. Then, assuming that the third game condition is not satisfied (determined as NO in S13), the control related to the special mode is terminated without executing the mode transition lottery, and the reception of new schedule information is awaited. In addition, if the numerical value acquired from the h counter is not the predetermined “transition numerical value”, that is, the result of the mode transition lottery is “out of” (determined as NO in S14), a special display is performed without switching the background display. The control relating to the mode is terminated, and the reception of new schedule information is awaited.

Then, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the following special mode effects when shifting to the special mode.
First, in accordance with the transition to the special mode, the variation of the special symbol is started in each of the special variation display areas 61A to 61G of the special symbol display area 60 (S21), and the current variation of the special symbol is the transition to the special mode. Fluctuation corresponding to the schedule information that has been triggered (that is, a fluctuation that satisfies the second game condition and the third game condition and that corresponds to the schedule information that has been “winned” in the mode transition lottery, hereinafter referred to as target fluctuation) ) Is confirmed (S22). As a result, if the change in the special symbol this time is not the target change (determined as NO in S25), it is determined whether or not the holding display body is changed due to the change in the special symbol (that is, whether or not the change effect is executed). (S23). Then, when the hold display body changes during the variation of the special symbol this time (determined as YES in S23), the special variation display areas 61A to 61G of the special symbol display area 60 are displayed before the special symbol is confirmed. The special symbol is stopped and displayed in a predetermined uniform display mode (S24). That is, the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a display mode in which three special symbols 65A, 65A,... Are arranged on any one of the lines L1 to L3 (for example, FIG. 19B). On the other hand, if the hold display does not change during the change of the special symbol this time (determined as NO in S23), each special variation display area 61A of the special symbol display area 60 is displayed before the special symbol is confirmed. The special symbol is stopped and displayed in a predetermined irregular display mode in ˜61G (S25). That is, the special symbols are stopped and displayed in a display manner in which three special symbols of the same type are not lined up in all the lines L1 to L3 (for example, FIG. 17A). Then, after the special symbol is stopped and displayed in either the uniform display mode or the irregular display mode, the variation of the special symbol is started again in the special symbol display area 60 in response to reception of the next start command (S21). As described above, after shifting to the special mode, S21 to S25 are repeated until the variation of the special symbol becomes the target variation. Then, when the variation of the special symbol becomes the target variation (determined as YES in S22), the content of the start command is referred to and the variation time of the special symbol related to the target variation (that is, the type of the basic variation pattern) is confirmed. Then, the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a predetermined display manner at a predetermined timing (for example, when the reach is established with the decorative symbol) according to the type of the basic variation pattern (S26). Thereafter, the special mode effect is terminated upon reception of the stop command in the target fluctuation (S27), and the background display is switched from the special background display 75 to the normal background display, for example, to shift from the special mode to the normal mode.

The special mode effects as described above will be described along the actual game flow with reference to FIGS.
It is assumed that the scenario 22 is set for the schedule information corresponding to the hold display body N added to the fourth display position P4 in accordance with the winning at the start winning opening 19. Further, it is assumed that the basic fluctuation pattern of the schedule information is the basic fluctuation pattern D1. Then, the hold display body N is added to the fourth display position P4 as the normal hold display body 70, and then the hold display body N moves to the third display position P3 with the start of the first special symbol variation. Also, the normal mode is shifted to the special mode in response to the start of the variation of the special symbol, the special symbol display area 60 is formed in the effect display unit 6, and the variation of the special symbol in each of the special variation display areas 61A to 61G. Is started (FIG. 15A). However, since the change of the special symbol this time is not the target change, and the change display effect of the holding display body is not executed during the change of the special symbol this time, the special symbol display area 61B, 61G (FIG. 15B), then the special fluctuation display areas 61C and 61F (FIG. 16A), the special fluctuation display areas 61D and 61E (FIG. 16B), and finally the special fluctuation display area 61A ( Although the special symbols are stopped in the order shown in FIG. 17 (a), the display mode is irregular, and then the special symbols are fixedly displayed.

  As the next special symbol starts to change, the hold display body N moves to the second display position P2, and the special symbol starts changing again in the special symbol display area 60 (FIG. 17B). And although the change of the special symbol this time is not a target change, the hold display body N changes from the normal hold display body 70 to the 1st special hold display body 71 during the change display of the special symbol this time. Therefore, first, the special fluctuation display areas 61B and 61G (FIG. 18A), then the special fluctuation display areas 61C and 61F (FIG. 18B), and further the special fluctuation display areas 61D and 61E (FIG. 19A). ) Finally, when the special symbols are stopped in the order of the special variation display area 61A (FIG. 19B), three special symbols 65A, 65A,... Are aligned (here, three are aligned in L1). It becomes. Then, after receiving the stop display in such a uniform display mode, the hold display body N changes from the normal hold display body 70 to the first special hold display body 71 (FIG. 20A), and then the special symbol is displayed. Confirmed display. At this time, when the special symbols are stopped and displayed in the special variation display areas 61D and 61E this time, two special symbols 65A and two special symbols 65D are stopped and displayed at L1, respectively. However, as long as there are the second game condition and the third game condition, three special symbols 65D are not stopped and displayed at L3 at this timing. However, since the player does not know such control, in this special symbol variation, as described later, three special symbols 65A are arranged side by side, or the change display effect of the holding display body is executed, or special Whether or not three symbols 65D are arranged to shift to Super Reach B, or neither of them is arranged, three are played while expecting the display mode when the special symbols are stopped.

  As the next special symbol starts to change, the hold display body N moves to the first display position P1, and the special symbol starts changing again in the special symbol display area 60 (FIG. 20B). And although the change of the special symbol this time is not the target change, the hold display body N further changes from the first special hold display body 71 to the second special hold display body 72 during the change display of the special symbol this time. Therefore, the special symbols are stopped in the order of the special fluctuation display areas 61B and 61G, then the special fluctuation display areas 61C and 61F, the special fluctuation display areas 61D and 61E, and finally the special fluctuation display area 61A (FIG. 21). (A)) At this time, three special symbols 65A, 65A,... Are arranged (in this case, three are arranged in L3). Then, after receiving the stop display in such a uniform display mode, the hold display body N changes from the first special hold display body 71 to the second special hold display body 72 (FIG. 21 (b)), and then a special display is made. The symbol is fixedly displayed.

  Furthermore, with the start of the next special symbol change, the hold display body N moves to the digestion position R, and the special symbol starts to change again in the special symbol display area 60 (FIG. 22A). Since the special symbol variation this time is the target variation and the basic variation pattern is the basic variation pattern D1, in the special symbol display area 60, first, three special symbols 65B, 65B,. Is temporarily stopped (FIG. 22B). However, before the special symbol is fixedly displayed, the special symbol starts to fluctuate again, and this time, the special symbol 65C, 65C,... Are stopped and displayed in a uniform display mode (FIG. 23 (a)). Thereafter, the display mode on the effect display unit 6 shifts to the same super reach A as in the normal mode. In this way, by temporarily displaying the three special symbols 65B, 65B,... In a uniform display mode, the same effect as a so-called quasi-continuation is resumed after the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped. Will be executed. Then, according to the end of the production at Super Reach A, the background display is switched to the normal background display and the special symbol display area 60 is erased, etc., and the special mode production ends, and the mode shifts to the normal mode (a big hit lottery Is a “big hit”, it will shift to a big hit state). Note that immediately before the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the display mode as shown in FIG. 22B or FIG. 23A (that is, in a state where only the special variation display area 61A is fluctuating), L1 to L3. Two different special symbols will be stopped and displayed side by side. Therefore, the player performs the same effect as a so-called pseudo-ream with three special symbols 65B arranged, or moves to Super Reach A with three special symbols 65C arranged, or three special symbols 65D. Whether to shift to Super Reach B side by side or none of them, the game will be played with very high expectations for the display mode when the special symbol stops.

  If the basic variation pattern of the target variation is the basic variation pattern C1, there are three special symbols 65C, 65C,... Without interposing a stop display in a uniform display mode in which three special symbols 65B, 65B,. The display is stopped in the aligned display mode. Further, if the basic fluctuation pattern of the target fluctuation is the basic fluctuation pattern E1, the special symbols 65C, 65C, 65C, 65C,. -It becomes a mode in which it is stopped and displayed in a uniform display mode in which three are arranged. On the other hand, if the basic fluctuation pattern of the target fluctuation is any one of the basic fluctuation patterns C2, D2, and E2, the special display 65D, 65D,. b)). Further, once in the case of the basic variation pattern D2, once in the case of the basic variation pattern E2, it is temporarily stopped and displayed in a uniform display mode in which three special symbols 65B, 65B,. Become.

Further, as a display mode in which three special symbols 65A, 65A,... Are arranged, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), there is of course a display mode in which three special symbols 65A, 65A,. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24B, a display mode may be set such that the special symbol 65A is stopped and displayed in all the special variation display areas 61A to 61G. And in the fluctuation | variation in which the change display effect of a holding | maintenance display body is performed, what is necessary is just to comprise so that it may determine by lottery etc. using the acquisition of the numerical value from a random number, etc. which line arranges the special symbol 65A.
Further, after the transition to the special mode, the decorative symbols 66, 66,... Fluctuate in a variation manner similar to the normal mode in the reduced variation display areas 67, 67,. Have been.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described configuration, the variation time of the symbol related to the schedule information received this time is not less than the basic variation patterns C1 and C2, and is digested with priority over the schedule information received this time. Among the schedule information, there must be any of schedule information for which a scenario is set, schedule information for which the pattern variation time is equal to or greater than the basic variation pattern B, and schedule information for which the jackpot lottery result is “big hit”. Furthermore, if the mode selection lottery is further “winned”, the background display in the effect display unit 6 is the special background display 75 and the special symbol display area 60 is formed in the effect display unit 6 assuming that the transfer condition is satisfied. In response to the change / deterministic display of the special symbol, the special symbol display area 60 shifts to a special mode in which a plurality of special symbols are changed / stopped. In addition, when the change effect of the hold display body is executed in the special mode, the special symbols 65A, 65A,... Are stopped and displayed in a predetermined display manner, assuming that the change condition is satisfied, It is notified that the hold display body changes. Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with high gaming ability that allows the player to recognize the change of the holding display body in an unconventional manner.

Further, in the special mode, the special symbol 65C and the special symbol 65D are stopped and displayed in a predetermined display mode, thereby informing the player of the type of reach effect. Therefore, the player plays a game with an interest whether the hold display body changes or the reach effect is executed with the transition to the special mode. Therefore, it is possible to provide a player with an unprecedented and innovative game.
Furthermore, since a special symbol 65B that is changed / stopped and displayed in a manner similar to a so-called pseudo-ream is set, a game with higher gameability can be provided to the player.
In addition, since the special variation display areas 61A to 61G form a special symbol display area 60 arranged in a honeycomb shape, the player can expect a uniform display mode in three lines L1, L2, and L3. Become. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), FIG. 22 (b), FIG. 23, etc., there can be a gaming situation in which a plurality of lines have different special symbols and can be expected to be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the player with respect to the game using the special symbol, and it is possible to obtain a gaming machine with extremely high gaming characteristics.

(Modifications of the present invention)
The configuration related to the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the configuration of the entire gaming machine as well as the configuration related to the control related to the change display effect of the holding display body is also described in the present invention. As long as it does not deviate from the above, it can be changed as necessary.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, four types of special symbols are set. However, if at least a special symbol indicating a change in the holding display body is set, three or less types may be set, and five or more types of special symbols may be set. Of course, it is possible to set.
Also, as an effect to change the hold display body, the same effect as in the past, such as causing a character to appear in the display section for the effect, is set, and it is determined by lottery etc. which effect is used to change the hold display body It is also possible to do.
Furthermore, when a special symbol is stopped and displayed in a predetermined display mode, it is possible to change how the hold display body is changed as appropriate, and the target hold display body is lit or enlarged. It may be changed later. Needless to say, the shape and size of the normal holding display body and the special holding display body can be appropriately changed. That is, there is no problem even if the normal holding display body and the special holding display body are different not only in color but also in shape. Further, it goes without saying that the type and number of special reserved display bodies are not limited to those of the above embodiment.

Furthermore, the winning probability of the transfer lottery can be made different depending on the contents of the schedule information (such as the result of the big hit lottery).
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the holding display body at the first display position is moved to the digestion position as it is, but may be enlarged or reduced when moved to the digestion position. Set a digest indicator corresponding to the hold indicator and a digest indicator corresponding to the special reserve indicator separately, and change from the normal indicator to the digest indicator corresponding to the normal indicator when moving to the digest position. It may be allowed.
In addition, in the above embodiment, it is configured to return from the special mode to the normal mode with the target change confirmation display, but the special mode is continued even after the target change is completed, for example, winning the return lottery It is also possible to make a transition to the normal mode.

Further, the change condition related to the change of the hold display body and the transfer condition related to the transition from the normal mode to the special mode are not limited to the conditions of the above embodiment.
In addition, there is no problem even if it is possible to display special symbols in the normal mode without going to the special mode, and when displaying the decorative symbols temporarily in the normal mode, the special symbols are temporarily stopped instead of the decorative symbols. It is also possible to configure so as to notify the change display of the hold display body.
Furthermore, the correspondence between the random numbers in the various tables and the various patterns can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the specific positions of the hold display position and the digestion position in the effect display unit are not limited to the positions in the above embodiment, and the number of decorative symbols displayed on the effect display unit and the display position Also, the variation direction of the decorative pattern is not limited to that of the above embodiment.
In addition, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that the change display effect of the hold display body is executed only in the normal state, but there is no problem even if the change display effect of the hold display body is executed during the high probability state or the support state. Of course, it is also possible to execute a change effect for the hold display body displayed at the display position.

In the above embodiment, the start command and the stop command are transmitted from the main control device to the sub control device. However, the stop command is not transmitted by using the timer of the sub control device. There is no problem.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the control is divided into two control devices, ie, the main control device and the sub control device. However, the control may be performed by one main control device. There is no problem even if a special effect storage area is provided in the storage means of the control device or an f counter, a g counter, an h counter, etc. are provided, and when controlling with one main control device, a start command and schedule information There is no need to create etc. In the above embodiment, a pachinko machine that uses two types of symbols, a special symbol and a decorative symbol, is used. However, a pachinko machine that uses only a special symbol may be used, and the special symbol display unit may be included in the effect display unit. It may be provided in other positions such as in the game area and the center member.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that numerical values are acquired from the three counters of the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter as the big hit lottery. However, it is possible to deal with only one counter, and two counters. Of course, it is also possible to obtain a numerical value from four or more counters. The random number as the lottery means can be either a soft random number or a hard random number.
Furthermore, the number of special winning means and the movable state of the special winning means in the special gaming state are not limited to those of the above embodiment, for example, only one special winning means is installed, In the same special game state, a plurality of special winning means may be alternately opened. Further, it may be configured to selectively cause a plurality of special gaming states having different numbers of opening operations of the special winning means, and the game ball hardly wins as a movable mode of the special winning means in the special gaming state. Even if such a movable mode is included, there is no problem.

Further, in the above embodiment, when there is holding information related to winning in the winning device when digesting the holding information, the holding information stored most recently among the holding information is held information related to winning in the winning device. If there is not, it is said that priority is to digest the hold information stored most recently among the hold information related to winning at the start winning opening, but other order (for example, the order in which the hold information is simply stored) Of course, it is also possible to configure to hold the hold information.
Further, for example, even if a so-called tulip-type electric accessory is provided in place of the winning device, there is no problem.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, in addition to the jackpot lottery result as a prior determination, the type of basic variation pattern is also determined. However, the basic variation pattern may change depending on the number of pending information. Therefore, in the prior determination, the type of the basic variation pattern may not be uniquely determined, but for example, determination may be made as to how many seconds the variation of the symbol will be. Furthermore, it can be said that it is sufficient to determine at least the result of the big hit lottery in the preliminary determination.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a pachinko machine that is an example of a gaming machine has been described. However, the present invention is naturally applicable to other gaming machines such as a sealed pachinko machine.
It should be noted that all elements described in the claims, the description and the drawings (for example, the symbol display unit, the effect display unit, the special winning means, the control means, etc.) are clearly described to consciously limit the number. As long as there is no, it may be physically single or plural, and the arrangement may be changed appropriately. In addition, the element names (names given to the elements) used in the claims and the description are merely given for convenience of description of the present case, and thereby have a special meaning. Is not particularly conscious of In other words, what is an element is not limitedly interpreted only by the element name. For example, the “control unit” may be hardware alone or may include software. Further, whether or not a plurality of elements among all the elements are appropriately integrally formed, or whether one element is divided into a plurality of elements, unless otherwise specified in the claims. These are matters that can be considered very easily by those skilled in the art, and it is clear that all patterns are within the assumed range even if all the patterns are not described in the specification etc. It goes without saying that it is included in the scope of rights related to.
