(Basic explanation)
First, a basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (which is also a configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched into a game area from a predetermined hitting device.

  In a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, to the right of the game area), a variable display (also called a special figure game) of special symbols (also called special figures) as a plurality of types of special identification information is provided. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B to be performed are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating “0” to “9” or a lighting pattern such as “−”. The special symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

  The “variable display” of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Examples of the fluctuation include an update display of a plurality of symbols, a scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, and enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols. In the case of a special symbol or a variation of a normal symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative pattern described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scroll-displayed or updated, or one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. Note that the variation includes an aspect in which a certain symbol is blinked. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped as a display result (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) (the same applies to variable display of other symbols described later). Note that variable display may be expressed as variable display or fluctuation.

  The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as “first special symbol”, and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as “second special symbol”. In addition, the special figure game using the first special figure is referred to as a “first special figure game”, and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as a “second special figure game”. There may be one kind of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 includes, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

  For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, decorative symbols (such as symbols indicating numbers) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbols. The variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special game or the second special game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, up and down) Direction scroll display and update display). Note that the special display game and the variable display of the decorative symbols executed in synchronism are collectively referred to simply as variable display.

  On the screen of the image display device 5, there may be provided a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display for which execution is suspended and an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. The hold display and the active display are collectively referred to as a variable display compatible display corresponding to the variable display.

  The number of variable displays that are held is also called the number of stored memories. The number of reserved memories corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as a first reserved memory number, and the number of reserved memories corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as a second reserved memory number. The total of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is also referred to as the total reserved memory number.

  In addition, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided at predetermined positions on the game board 2, and the first hold indicator 25A indicates the number of LEDs lit. To display the first reserved memory number, and the second reserved indicator 25B displays the second reserved memory number according to the number of lit LEDs.

  Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

  The winning ball apparatus 6A forms a first start winning opening that is maintained in a certain open state in which a game ball can always enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number of (for example, three) prize balls are paid out and the first special game can be started.

  The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second start winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball apparatus 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the movable wing piece is in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is off, the tip of the movable wing piece Is close to the winning ball device 6A, and the game ball enters the closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning port (also referred to as the second starting winning port is closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening when the movable blade piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is in the on state (second starting ball). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out and the second special game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to the one having an electric tulip type accessory as long as it changes between a closed state and an open state.

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four places in the lower left and right sides of the game area), there are provided general winning holes 10 that are always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering any of the general winning ports 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the large winning opening door closes the large winning opening and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning entrance. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the ON state, the special prize opening door opens the big prize opening, so that the game ball can easily enter the special prize opening. Become.

  When game balls enter the big prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When game balls enter the big prize opening, for example, more prize balls are paid out than when game balls enter the first start prize opening, the second start prize opening, and the general prize opening 10, for example.

  The entry of a game ball into each winning opening including the general winning opening 10 is also referred to as “winning”. In particular, winning at the starting port (first starting winning port, second starting winning port starting port) is also referred to as starting winning.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs and the like, and variably displays normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from the special symbols. A normal symbol is represented by a number indicating “0” to “9” or a lighting pattern such as “−”. The normal symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of normal symbols is also called a general game.

  On the left side of the image display device 5, a passing gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41, the usual game is executed.

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general figure hold display unit 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of general figure hold storage, which is the number of general figure games that are being executed, by the number of lighted LEDs.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 for game effects is provided at the periphery of the game area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

  At a predetermined position (not shown in FIG. 1) of the game board 2, a movable body 32 that operates in accordance with the performance is provided.

  At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 that is operated by a player or the like in order to launch a game ball toward the game area by the hitting ball launching device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a game ball paid out as a prize ball or a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball hitting device. ) Is provided. Below the upper plate, there is provided a hitting ball supply plate (lower plate) from which prize balls are paid out when the upper plate is full.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, a push button 31B is provided that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. An operation on the push button 31B is detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31 </ b> A and the push button 31 </ b> B are provided as detection means for detecting the player's operation (operation, etc.), but other detection means may be provided.

(Outline of game progress)
A game ball is launched toward the game area by a rotation operation by the player to the hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, a normal game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In the case where the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the previous execution of the usual game, etc. (when the game ball passes through the pass gate 41 but the usual game based on the pass cannot be executed immediately). The usual game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In this ordinary game, if a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbols per ordinary symbol (ordinary symbol losing symbol) is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “ordinary symbol losing”. When the “normal hit” is reached, an opening control is performed to open the variable winning ball device 6B for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening is opened).

  When a game ball enters the first start winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  If a game ball enters (wins) a start winning opening during a period during which a special figure game is being executed or during a period where a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state, which will be described later, is controlled (a start winning has occurred) In the case where the special game based on the start prize cannot be immediately executed), the special game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In a special game, if a specific special symbol (a jackpot symbol, for example, “7”, the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type to be described later) is stopped and displayed as a special symbol, it will be a “hit” symbol. If a predetermined special symbol different from (a small hit symbol, for example, “2”) is stopped and displayed, “small hit” is obtained. In addition, if a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, “-”) different from the big hit symbol or the small winning symbol is stopped and displayed, it is “lost”.

  After the display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the big hit gaming state is controlled as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the game is controlled to the small hit gaming state.

  In the big hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The release state includes an elapse timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds), and a timing until the number of game balls that have entered the winning prize opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It continues until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which a big winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also referred to as an open upper limit period hereinafter. One cycle in which the grand prize opening is in an open state is called a round (round game). In the big hit gaming state, it can be repeatedly executed until the round reaches a predetermined upper limit number (15 times or twice).

  In the big hit game state, the player can obtain a prize ball by causing the game ball to enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the big hit gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state, and the longer the opening upper limit period, the more advantageous for the player.

  Note that a “big hit” is set as the big hit type. For example, a number of types of opening of the big prize opening (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) and gaming state after the big hit gaming state (described later, normal state, short-time state, probability change state, etc.) are prepared, and depending on them Type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type that can obtain many prize balls, or a jackpot type that has few prize balls or hardly obtains prize balls.

  In the small hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as the big hit game state in the case of some big hit types (the number of times of opening of the big prize opening is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big prize opening is also the same. Etc.), the grand prize opening is opened. Similar to the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the “small hit”.

  After the big hit gaming state is ended, depending on the big hit type, it may be controlled to a short time state or a probable change state.

  In the short-time state, control (short-time control) is executed to shorten the average special figure change time (period during which the special figure is changed) compared to the normal state. In the short-time state, by reducing the average normal map change time (period in which the normal map is changed) from the normal state, or by improving the probability of “per normal map” in the normal game, than the normal state, Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easy for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. The short-time state is a state advantageous for the player because the variation efficiency of the special symbol (especially the second special symbol) is improved.

  In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time reduction control, probability variation control is executed in which the probability that the display result is “big hit” is higher than in the normal state. The probability variation state is a state that is more advantageous for the player because it is likely to be a “hit” in addition to the improvement of the variation efficiency of the special symbol.

  The short-time state or the probability change state continues until any one end condition such as that a predetermined number of special game has been executed and the next big hit game state has been established. A game whose end condition is that a predetermined number of special game has been executed is also referred to as a number of cuts (short time cut, number change probability change, etc.).

  The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as a big hit gaming state advantageous for the player, a short-time state, a probable change state, etc., and the display result in the ordinary game is “per ordinary figure”. The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game is “big hit” is the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed, a predetermined return after power-on) This is the same control as when the process was not executed.

  A state in which the probability variation control is being executed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not being performed is also referred to as a low probability state. The state where the time reduction control is executed is also referred to as a high base state, and the state where the time reduction control is not executed is also referred to as a low base state. By combining these, it is said that the short-time state is a low-accuracy base state, the probability variation state is a high-accuracy high-base state, the normal state is a low-accuracy-low base state, and so on. The highly accurate state and the low base state are also referred to as a highly accurate low base state.

  After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the display result of the special game is “small hit” is controlled continuously (however, “small hit” occurs) If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times, the gaming state is naturally changed). It should be noted that there is no “small hit” as the display result of the special game.

  Note that the gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big prize opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, the game ball may be controlled to be in a probable change state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 This may be performed by turning on / off the light, and the operation of the movable body 32.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special game or the first game is produced as an effect executed in accordance with the progress of the game. Corresponding to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decorative symbols is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as a fixed special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the fixed decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) that is the display result of the variable decorative symbol display ) Is also stopped (derived).

  In the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end thereof, the variable display mode of the decorative design may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display for decorative symbols that have not been stopped yet when the decorative symbols stopped on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of a jackpot combination described later. It is a mode that is continuing.

  In addition, a reach effect is executed in response to the above-described reach mode during variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special figure game or the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern) according to the production mode becomes “big hit” (also called the big hit reliability or the big hit expectation). Different types of reach production are executed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach with higher hit reliability than normal reach.

  When the display result of the special figure game is “big hit”, a predetermined decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of variable display of decorative symbols on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration) The display result of the variable display of the symbol is “big hit”). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, “7”, etc.) are stopped and displayed together on predetermined active lines in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. .

  In the case of “probable big hit”, which is controlled to the probable change state after the big hit gaming state, odd numbers of decorative symbols (for example, “7”, etc.) are all stopped and displayed, and after the big hit gaming state is finished, In the case of a “non-probable big hit (normal big hit)” that is not controlled, an even number of decorative symbols (for example, “6”, etc.) may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative symbols are also referred to as probability variation symbols, and even-numbered decorative symbols are also referred to as non-probable variation symbols (normal symbols). After becoming a reach mode with a non-probable variation pattern, a promotion effect that finally becomes a “probability large hit” may be executed.

  When the display result of the special game is “small hit”, as a display result of variable display of decorative symbols on the screen of the image display device 5, a fixed decorative symbol (for example, “ 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is" small hit "). As an example, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eye are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes “big hit” of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit gaming state in the same manner as the small hit gaming state) and when it becomes “small hit” A common fixed decorative symbol may be derived and displayed.

  When the display result of the special figure game is “losing”, the decorative display variable display mode is not the reach mode, but the non-reach combination fixed display pattern (“ (Also referred to as “non-reach lose”) may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be “non-reach lose”). Further, when the display result is “losing”, after the decorative display variable display mode becomes the reach mode, the predetermined reach combination (“reach loss”) that is not a big hit combination is displayed as the variable display display result of the decorative design. In other cases, the fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as “definitely”) is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is “reach lose”).

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display). As other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability is executed during variable display of decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the big hit reliability in the variable display being executed, and a pre-read notice effect for notifying the big hit reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display for which execution is suspended). As the pre-reading notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be executed.

  Further, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative design during the variable display of the decorative design and then restarting the variable display, the single variable display is made to appear as a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner. A pseudo-continuous effect may be executed.

  Even during the big hit game state, the big hit effect for informing the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit effect, an effect for notifying the number of rounds or a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state may be executed. In addition, during the small hit game state, the small hit effect during the small hit game state is executed. In addition, the big hit game in the small hit game state and a part of the big hit type (a big hit type of the big hit gaming state in the same manner as the small hit gaming state, for example, a big hit type in which the subsequent gaming state is a high probability state) By executing a common effect with the state, the player may not know whether the current state is the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, a common effect is executed after the end of the small hit gaming state and after the end of the big hit gaming state, so that it is not possible to identify whether the state is a high probability state or a low probability state. May be.

  Further, for example, when a special game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

A detection signal indicating that the switch has entered and the switch is turned on is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. Through the transmission of the detection signal, the passing or entry of the game ball is detected.

  The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for the grand prize opening door. To transmit.

  The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) sends an effect control command (a command for designating (notifying) the progress of the game) according to the progress of the game as part of the control of the progress of the game. 12 is supplied. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The production control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of a special figure game (including a jackpot type), a variation pattern used when the special figure game is executed (details will be described later) )), A game status (for example, start and end of variable display, open status of a big prize opening, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, gaming state), a command specifying an error, and the like.

  The production control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives production control commands, and produces productions (various productions according to the progress of the game) based on the received production control commands. (Including various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, etc.).

  On the effect control board 12, an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to execute an effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above function of the effect control board 12 and an effect to be executed). Including the determination of At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 is used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (signals output when an operation by the player is detected and indicating the operation content as appropriate). The control unit 123 may be instructed.

  The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes an effect based on an execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120.

  The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display the effect image by supplying the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Or a lamp signal (a signal designating the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(Operation)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operations of the main board 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

  In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets prohibition of interruption (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial setting includes setting of a stack pointer, register setting of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port, etc.), setting for making the RAM 102 accessible.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply board. When the power is turned on while the clear switch is on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), an initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

  Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command for instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command, for example, the image display device 5 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

  If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power interruption), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop process immediately before it becomes unable to operate due to the stop of the power supply. In the power supply stop process, a process for turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process for the RAM 102, and the like are executed. Data protection processing includes addition of error detection codes (checksum, parity bits, etc.) and processing for backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes not only various data (including various flags and various timer states) for progressing the game, but also the status of the backup flag and the error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), an initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (performed using the error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal (step). S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply is stopped, based on the parity bit and the checksum. If it is determined that they match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

  If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state at the time of stopping the power supply, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply is stopped. In the restoration process, the CPU 103 sets a work area based on the storage contents of the RAM 102 (contents of backed up data). As a result, when the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped and the special symbol is changing, the change of the special symbol is resumed from the state before the recovery by executing the game control timer interrupt processing described later. Will be.

  And CPU103 transmits the production control command which instruct | indicates the recovery | restoration from a power interruption to the production control board 12 (step S7). In conjunction with this, an effect control command for designating a backed-up gaming state before power interruption, or an effect control for designating the display result of the special figure game being executed when the special figure game is being executed. A command may be transmitted. As these commands, the same commands as those set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command for specifying the time of recovery from the power interruption, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the power recovery from the power interruption has been made or is being recovered from the power interruption. To display the screen. The effect control CPU 120 may perform an appropriate screen display based on the effect control command.

  After finishing the restoration process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and an interrupt is permitted (step S12). ). Thereafter, the loop processing is started. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby causing the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port through the switch circuit 110. Whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S21). Subsequently, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed by executing a predetermined main-side error process, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpot), start information (startup) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko machine 1 Data such as information indicating the number of winnings and the like) and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability has changed) are output (step S23).

  Subsequent to the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby realizing management of special symbol game execution and suspension, control of a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state, control of a gaming state, etc. Later).

  Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and holding of the ordinary game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passing gate 41), The opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on “per-game” is enabled. The ordinary game is executed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the number of ordinary symbols is displayed by turning on the ordinary symbol display 25C.

  After executing the normal symbol process, a process when a power interruption occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, or the like may be performed as part of the game control timer interrupt process. Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may transmit and set an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process in step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted and then the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as special symbol process processing. In this special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

  In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting occurrence of a start winning, storing hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When a start winning is generated, a display result (including a jackpot type) and a random value for determining a variation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process for determining in advance a display result or a variation pattern may be executed. After storing the hold information and the number of reserved memories, transmission settings for transmitting an effect control command for designating determination results such as the occurrence of a start prize, the number of reserved memories, and the prefetch determination are performed on the effect control board 12. . The effect control command at the time of a start winning set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed, for example. Is transmitted.

  After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each process (steps S <b> 110 to S <b> 120) of the special symbol process, transmission settings for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 are performed.

  The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0” (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is determined based on the presence or absence of the hold information. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is “big hit” or “small hit” based on the random number value for determining the display result, and the big hit type when “big hit” is assumed Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal process, a confirmed special symbol (any one of the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol, or the lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. Thereafter, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “1”, and the special symbol normal process ends. The special game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure (also referred to as special figure 2 priority digestion). In addition, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special figure game may be established in order of winning (also referred to as winning order digestion).

  When various determinations are made based on random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which determination values to be compared with random number values are assigned to the determination results) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

  The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this variation pattern setting process, one of multiple types of variation patterns can be selected using a random value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of prior determination as to whether the display result is “big hit” or “small hit”. The process to decide on is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2”, and the variation pattern setting process ends.

  Fluctuation patterns include special game execution time (special graphic fluctuation time) (also the execution time of decorative symbol variable display), decorative symbol variable display mode (such as the presence or absence of reach), and variable decorative symbol display The content of the production (the type of reach production etc.) is designated and is also called a variable display pattern.

  The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. This special symbol variation process includes a process for setting the special symbol to be varied in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. This includes the process of measuring. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached a special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. When the elapsed time since the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3”, and the special symbol variation process is terminated.

  The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In the special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B stops the variation of the special symbol, and stops (displays) the definite special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. The process to set for is included. When the display result is “big hit”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is “small hit”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “8”. When the display result is “lost”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”. When the display result is “small hit” or “losing”, the game state is also updated when the time-saving state or the probability variation state is being controlled and the end of the count-off is established. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop process ends.

  The big hit release pre-processing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This pre-opening process for jackpots includes a process for starting the execution of a round in the jackpot game state and setting the jackpot to be open based on the display result being “hit”. It is. When the big prize opening is in an open state, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an open upper limit period in which the big winning opening is opened or an upper limit execution number of rounds is set corresponding to which of the big hit types. When these settings are finished, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”, and the big hit release pre-processing is finished.

  The big hit release processing in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". In the big hit opening process, the winning prize opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. The process etc. which determine whether it became the timing which returns to a closed state from an open state are included. Then, when returning the prize winning opening to the closed state, after performing processing for stopping the supply of the solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the prize winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “6”, The processing during the jackpot release is terminated.

  The big hit release post-processing in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-hit-opening process, a process for determining whether or not the number of executions of the round in which the big prize opening is in an open state has reached the set upper limit execution number, and when the upper limit execution number is reached, the big hit game state The process etc. which perform the setting for ending are included. When the round execution count has not reached the upper limit execution count, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”, while when the round execution count has reached the upper limit execution count, The value is updated to “7”. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the processing after the big hit release ends.

  The big hit ending process in step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. The jackpot end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect is executed as an effect operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. This includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time-saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”, and the jackpot end processing is ended.

  The small hit pre-release process in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This pre-opening process for small hits includes a process for setting the big winning opening in the small hit gaming state based on the fact that the display result is “small hit”. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “9”, and the small hit release pre-processing ends.

  The small hit releasing process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. This small hit opening process is the timing to return the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big prize opening is in the open state and the measured elapsed time. The process etc. which determine whether or not were included are included. When the big prize opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit gaming state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “10”, and the small hit opening process ends.

  The small hit end process in step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. This small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period during which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit gaming state is executed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit gaming state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”, and the small hit end processing ends.

(Main operations of the production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and displays the effect control board 12. Performs register settings for the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32 such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for performing a predetermined operation check is executed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the on state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and awaits.

  On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interruption is generated when, for example, an effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interruption due to the turn-on of the effect control INT signal occurs, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt prohibition, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, the interrupt is interrupted. It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt when the effect control INT signal is turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, an effect control command is fetched from a predetermined input port that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I / O 125. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in an effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt processing after setting the interrupt permission.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis processing, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read effect control command can be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process or the like. Turn on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the gaming state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the gaming state.

  After executing the command analysis process in step S75, an effect control process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and the movable body 32. Control for operating various effect devices, such as the drive operation, is performed. Moreover, determination, determination, setting, etc. according to the presentation control command etc. which were transmitted from the main board | substrate 11 are performed about the control content of presentation operation | movement using various production | presentation apparatuses.

  Following the effect control process of step S76, an effect random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to step S73. Another process may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a prefetch notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, determination, determination, and setting for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main board 11. Further, a process for displaying a hold display is executed based on the hold storage number specified from the effect control command.

  After executing the process of step S161, the CPU 120 for effect control selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

  The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process for determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative symbols on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command for specifying the start of variable display is received from the main board 11. Etc. When it is determined to start variable display of decorative symbols in the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “1”, and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

  The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative design (determined decorative design), the variable display mode of the decorative design, the reach effect and various The presence / absence of execution of various effects such as a notice effect, its mode, execution start timing, and the like are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. Thereafter, based on the set production control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start the variable display of the decorative symbols, the value of the production process flag is updated to “2”, and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of decorative symbols in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols.

  The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display an effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. In addition, driving the movable body 32, outputting sound and sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and issuing a command (lighting signal) to the lamp control board 14 Various effects control during variable display of decorative symbols, such as turning on / off / flashing the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by the output, is executed. After such effect control is performed, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of decorative symbols is read from the effect control pattern, or a command specifying stop display of the final decorative symbols is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to what has been done, the definite decorative symbol that is the display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. When the definite decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3”, and the effect process during variable display ends.

  The special figure waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command is received from the main board 11 for designating the start of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. When an effect control command designating starting a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state is received, if the command designates the start of a big hit gaming state, the value of the production process flag is set to “6”. Update to "". On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit gaming state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “4” which is a value corresponding to the effect processing during the small hit. Also, when the command waiting time of the command has passed without receiving a command specifying that the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state is started, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is “losing”. Thus, the value of the production process flag is updated to “0” which is an initial value. When the value of the production process flag is updated, the waiting process per special figure is terminated.

  The small hitting effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “4”. In this small hit effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the setting contents. . Also, in the small hit effect processing, for example, in response to receiving a command to end the small hit gaming state from the main board 11, the value of the effect process flag is a value corresponding to the small hit end effect. It is updated to a certain “5”, and the small hit effect production process is terminated.

  The small hit end effect process in step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “5”. In this small hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the set content. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value “0”, and the small hit end effect process is ended.

  The big hit effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In the jackpot effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the jackpot game state, and executes various effect controls in the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Also, in the big hit effect processing, for example, in response to receiving a command for ending the big hit gaming state from the main board 11, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect processing. It is updated to 7 ″, and the big hit effect processing is finished.

  The ending effect process in step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the jackpot gaming state, and performs various effect controls of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot gaming state based on the set contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value “0”, and the ending effect process is terminated.

(Decision rate of execution / non-execution of battle production)
FIG. 8-5 (A) is an example of a determination ratio of whether or not to execute a battle effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the determination ratio of whether or not to execute the battle effect is varied according to the variation pattern.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (A), when it is a super reach loss (no development) (that is, when the variation pattern is PA2-2 to PA2-6), the execution decision ratio is executed. Is 40/100. That is, when there is a super reach loss (no development), the battle effect is executed at a rate of 40%.

  When it is super reach loss (with development) (that is, when the variation pattern is PA3-1 to PA3-4), the execution decision ratio is set to 10/100. That is, when it is a super reach lose (development), a battle effect is executed at a rate of 10%.

  When it is a super reach big hit (no development) (that is, when the fluctuation pattern is PB2-2 to PB2-6), the execution decision ratio is set to 50/100. That is, when the super reach big hit (no development), the battle effect is executed at a rate of 50%.

  When it is a super reach big hit (with development) (that is, when the variation pattern is PB3-1 to PB3-4), the determination ratio with execution is 80/100. That is, when it is a super reach big hit (with development), the battle effect is executed at a rate of 80%.

  In addition, when it does not become super reach, a battle effect is not performed (the decision ratio with execution is set to 0/100). In the case of super reach, when a battle effect is not executed, another super reach effect is executed.

  For example, in ROM 121, a battle effect execution determination table (not shown) for super reach lose (development not provided), a battle effect execution determination table (not shown) for super reach lose (development), and a super reach hit (no increase). A battle effect execution presence / absence determination table (not shown) for use, and a battle effect execution presence / absence determination table (not shown) for super reach big hit (with development) are stored. In the battle effect execution presence / absence determination table for super reach lose (development-free), “execution enabled” and “execution disabled” are determined so that “execution enabled” and “execution disabled” are determined at a ratio of 40:60. It is only necessary to assign a random value for determining whether or not to execute a battle effect (a random value updated by the random number circuit 124 or an effect random counter). In the battle effect execution presence / absence determination table for super reach lose (development present), “execution present” and “execution not performed” are determined so that “execution present” and “execution not performed” are determined at a ratio of 10:90. It is only necessary to assign a random value for determining whether or not to execute a battle effect. In the determination table for determining whether or not to execute a battle effect for a super reach big hit (no development), “executed” and “not executed” are determined at a ratio of 50:50. It is sufficient that a random value for determining whether or not a battle effect is to be executed is assigned to each. In the battle effect execution presence / absence determination table for super reach big hit (development present), “execution present” and “execution non-execution” are determined so that “execution present” and “non-execution” are determined at a ratio of 80:20. It is sufficient that a random value for determining whether or not a battle effect is to be executed is assigned to each.

  Then, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the extracted random number for determining whether or not to execute a battle effect and a plurality of battle effect execution determination tables (pre-determined whether or not to perform battle effects for super reach lose (development-free)). Table, determination table for determining whether or not to perform a battle effect for Super Reach Loss (with development), determining table for determining whether or not to perform a battle effect for Super Reach jackpot (without development), and determining whether or not to perform a battle effect for Super Reach jackpot (with development) It is only necessary to determine whether or not to execute the battle effect by referring to the corresponding battle effect execution / non-execution determination table.

  Returning to FIG. Subsequent to step 2SHS101, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the battle effect (whether or not it is determined to execute the battle effect in step 2SHS101) (step 2SHS102). If it is determined in step 2SHS102 that a battle effect is to be executed (step 2SH102; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines a battle effect pattern (step 2SH103).

(Battle production pattern determination table)
FIG. 8-5 (B) is an example of a battle effect pattern determination table. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (B), the battle effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern is determined.

  It should be noted that Super Reach Loss (no development) (battle effect patterns BAP1-1L, BAP1-2L,..., BAP1-5L corresponding to fluctuation patterns PA2-2, PA2-3,..., PA2-6) In the case of a big hit (no development) (the battle effect patterns BAP1-1W, BAP1-2W,..., BAP1-5W corresponding to the fluctuation patterns PB2-2, PB2-3,..., PB2-6), FIG. As shown, the button operation effect is not executed. On the other hand, Super Reach Loss (Developed) (Battle production patterns BAP2-2L, BAP2-3L,..., BAP2-5L corresponding to variation patterns PA3-1, PA3-2,..., PA3-4) and Super Reach In the big hit (with development) (the battle effect patterns BAP2-2W, BAP2-3W,..., BAP2-5W corresponding to the fluctuation patterns PB3-1, PB3-2,..., PB3-4), FIG. As shown, a button operation effect is executed.

  That is, if the battle effect pattern is determined, whether or not the button operation effect is executed is determined. In other words, in step 2SHS103 of FIG. 8C, the effect control CPU 120 determines a battle effect pattern and determines whether or not a button operation effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 8-4, the whiteout effect and the collision effect are executed when the button operation effect is executed, and are not executed when the button operation effect is not executed. That is, in step 2SHS103 of FIG. 8-3, the CPU 120 for effect control also determines whether or not a whiteout effect or a collision effect is executed. Similarly, the cut-in effect is executed when the button operation effect is executed, and is not executed when the button operation effect is not executed. That is, in step 2SHS103 of FIG. 8-3, the effect control CPU 120 also determines whether or not the cut-in effect is executed.

  Returning to FIG. Subsequent to step 2SHS103, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the button operation effect (whether or not it is determined to execute the button operation effect) (step 2SHS104). When it is determined in step 2SHS104 that the button operation effect is executed (step 2SHS104; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines a button operation effect pattern (step 2SHS105).

(Contents of button operation effects)

Is a button operation effect pattern for displaying a button image display 2SH31C-G (see FIGS. 8-12 and 8-13).

  The button operation effect pattern “BTP3” and the button operation effect pattern “BTP4” display the button image display 2SH31C-G imitating the button 2SH31C as the promotion display for promoting the pressing operation on the button 2SH31C, and rotate the button 2SH31C ( This is a button operation effect pattern for rotating the opening / closing part 2SH31C-2, the core part 2SH31C-3, and the light emitter 2SH31C-4.

  FIG. 8-6 (B) is a diagram for explaining a movement or the like according to the presence or absence of an operation within the effective period of the button operation effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), the player's operation is performed during the effective period in which the operation of the button 2SH31C is valid according to the button operation effect pattern. And the movement when there is no operation by the player during the effective period.

  As shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), the button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP1”, and when the player operates within the effective period, the effective period is set. It is terminated and the whiteout effect is executed. Further, the button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP1”, and when there is no operation by the player within the effective period, the whiteout effect is executed. That is, in the promotion display (button image display) by the button operation effect pattern “BTP1”, the collision effect or the like is not executed regardless of whether or not the player operates within the effective period. Yes.

  The button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP2”, and if there is a player's operation within the effective period, the effective period is ended, the collision effect is executed, and the button 2SH31C is displayed. The mode is changed (rotated). Further, the button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP2”, and when there is no operation by the player within the effective period, the whiteout effect is executed. That is, in the promotion display (button image display) by the button operation effect pattern “BTP2”, the collision effect is executed when the player operates within the effective period, but the collision occurs when there is no operation. Production is not performed.

  The button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP3”, and if there is a player's operation within the effective period, the effective period is ended, the collision effect is executed, and the button 2SH31C is displayed. The mode is changed (rotated). Further, the button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP3”, and when there is no operation by the player within the effective period, the collision effect is executed and the mode of the button 2SH31C is changed ( Rotate). That is, in the promotion display (button image display, button mode change (rotation)) by the button operation effect pattern “BTP3”, whether or not there is any operation by the player within the effective period The collision effect is executed.

  The button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP4”, and if there is a player's operation within the effective period, the effective period is ended, the collision effect is executed, and the button 2SH31C is displayed. The mode is changed (rotation, vibration). Further, the button image display 2SH31C-G is displayed based on the button operation effect pattern “BTP4”, and when there is no operation by the player within the effective period, the collision effect is executed and the mode of the button 2SH31C is changed ( Rotate). In other words, in the promotion display (button image display, button mode change (rotation)) by the button operation effect pattern “BTP4”, whether or not there is an operation by the player within the effective period However, when a player performs an operation within the effective period, the button is also vibrated.

  Note that the whiteout effect is to whiten the entire screen, and the button image display 2SH31C-G is simply deleted when it becomes white. The collision effect is an effect of causing the button image display 2SH31C-G to collide with another display (image), and the button image display 2SH31C-G is erased in accordance with the collision.

(Decision rate of button operation effect pattern)
FIG. 8-6 (C) shows an example of the determination ratio of the button operation effect pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the determination ratio of the button operation effect pattern is varied according to the variation pattern (battle effect pattern).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (C), when the variation pattern is PA3-1 (the battle effect pattern is BAP2-2L) or PA3-2 (the battle effect pattern is BAP2-3L), One of the button operation effect patterns (“BTP1”, “BTP2”, “BTP3”, “BTP4”) is determined at a ratio of BTP1: BTP2: BTP3: BTP4 = 85: 10: 5: 0].

  When the variation pattern is PA3-3 (battle effect pattern is BAP2-4L) or PA3-4 (battle effect pattern is BAP2-5L), [BTP1: BTP2: BTP3: BTP4 = 60: 30: 10: 0] One of the button operation effect patterns (“BTP1”, “BTP2”, “BTP3”, “BTP4”) is determined by the ratio.

  When the variation pattern is PB3-1 (the battle effect pattern is BAP2-2W) or PB3-2 (the battle effect pattern is BAP2-3W), [BTP1: BTP2: BTP3: BTP4 = 30: 40: 20: 10] One of the button operation effect patterns (“BTP1”, “BTP2”, “BTP3”, “BTP4”) is determined by the ratio.

  When the variation pattern is PB3-3 (the battle effect pattern is BAP2-4W) or PB3-4 (the battle effect pattern is BAP2-5W), [BTP1: BTP2: BTP3: BTP4 = 10: 40: 30: 20] One of the button operation effect patterns (“BTP1”, “BTP2”, “BTP3”, “BTP4”) is determined by the ratio.

  The method for determining the button operation effect pattern by the effect control CPU 120 is the same as the method for determining whether or not to execute the battle effect. That is, the CPU 120 for effect control includes a random button value for determining a button operation effect pattern, and one corresponding button operation effect pattern among a plurality of button operation effect pattern determination tables stored in advance in the ROM 121 according to, for example, a variation pattern. The button operation effect pattern may be determined by referring to the determination. The same applies to other determination methods.

  Returning to FIG. Subsequent to step 2SHS105, the effect control CPU 120 determines a cut-in effect pattern (step 2SHS109).

(Content of cut-in production)
FIG. 8-7 (A) is a diagram for explaining the contents of the cut-in effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), “CP-J” and “CP-K” are set as cut-in effect patterns.

  As shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), the cut-in effect pattern “CP-J” is a cut-in effect pattern in which a weak cut-in effect in which an aura-free character appears (displays) is performed. The cut-in effect pattern “CP-K” is a cut-in effect pattern in which a strong cut-in effect in which a character with an aura appears (displays) is performed.

(Decision rate of cut-in production pattern)
FIG. 8B is an example of the cut-in effect pattern determination ratio. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), the determination ratio of the cut-in effect pattern is varied according to the display result and the button operation effect pattern. . Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the cut-in effect pattern is varied depending on whether or not the player has operated within the operation period of the button operation effect. Specifically, a cut-in effect pattern for operating time (cut-in effect pattern executed when there is a player's operation) and a cut-in effect pattern for operation non-operation (no player's operation) The cut-in effect pattern to be executed in this case is determined. That is, since the presence / absence of the player's operation is not determined at the stage of the effect determination process executed in step S171 in FIG. 7, both scenes in the future (when the player's operation is performed and the player's operation) In other words, the cut-in effect pattern for the time when the operation is performed and the cut-in effect pattern for the time when the operation is not performed are determined.

  Specifically, when the display result is “losing” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, [CP-J: CP-K = 100] is used for when the operation is performed (the same applies when the operation is not performed). : 0], one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined.

  Although shown as remarks, when the display result is “losing” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B). As described above, the collision effect is not executed regardless of whether or not the player has operated (both with and without operation).

  When the display result is “losing” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”, any cut-in effect at a ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 70: 30] is used for the operation with time. A pattern (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined, and any cut-in effect pattern is determined at a ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 100: 0] for non-operational use. is doing.

  Although shown as remarks, when the display result is “losing” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”. As described above, the collision effect is executed when the player operates, and the collision effect is not executed when the player does not operate.

  When the display result is “losing” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3”, the ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 70: 30] is used for when the operation is performed (the same applies when the operation is not performed). Thus, one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined.

  Although shown as remarks, when the display result is “losing” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3”, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B). As described above, the collision effect is executed regardless of whether or not the player has operated (both with and without operation).

  When the display result is “big hit” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, the ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 100: 0] is used for the case with the operation (the same applies when the operation is not performed). Thus, one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined.

  Although shown as remarks, when the display result is “big hit” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B). As described above, the collision effect is not executed regardless of whether or not the player has operated (both with and without operation).

  When the display result is “big hit” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”, any cut-in effect is used at a ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 20: 80] for use with the operation. A pattern (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined, and any cut-in effect pattern is determined at a ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 100: 0] for non-operational use. is doing.

  Although shown as remarks, when the display result is “big hit” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”. As described above, the collision effect is executed when the player operates, and the collision effect is not executed when the player does not operate.

  When the display result is “big hit” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3” or [BTP4], [CP-J: CP-K = 20: 80], one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined.

  Although shown as remarks, when the display result is “big hit” and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3” or [BTP4], the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3” or [BTP4]. As shown in 8-6 (B), the collision effect is executed regardless of whether or not the player has operated (both with and without operation).

  Returning to FIG. When step 2SHS109 is executed, the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG. Note that FIG. 8-7 (C) will be described later.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 2SHS100 that the fluctuation pattern is not “super reach” (step 2SHS100; No), the process of step 2SHS101 and subsequent steps is not performed, and the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG. To do. If it is determined in step 2SHS102 that a battle effect is not to be executed (step 2SHS102; No), the process of step 2SHS103 and subsequent steps is not performed, and the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG. If it is determined in step 2SHS104 that the button operation effect is not executed (step 2SHS104; No), the process of step 2SHS105 and subsequent steps is not performed, and the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG.

(Direction execution process)
In the variable display effect processing in step S172 shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 executes effect execution processing. The effect execution process includes, for example, a process of executing various effects based on the determination result determined in the effect determination process of FIG.

  FIG. 8-8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect execution process in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, which is executed in step S172 of FIG. Specifically, the flowchart of FIG. 8-8 illustrates the flow of the performance execution process in the variable display where the button operation effect is performed. That is, the flowchart of FIG. 8-8 includes “BAP2-2L”, “BAP2-2W”, “BAP2-3L”, “BAP2-3W”, “BAP2-4L”, “BAP2-4W”, “BAP2-5L”. ”,“ BAP2-5W ”shows the flow of the performance execution process in the variable display determined to execute the battle performance of the battle performance pattern (developed battle performance).

  For convenience of explanation, the period before the development is referred to as “period T1”, the period from the development to the effective period (the period until the operation becomes the effective period after the development) is referred to as “period T2”, and the period during the effective period This is referred to as “period T3”, and the period after the end of the effective period is referred to as “period T4”.

  The flowcharts of FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10 are a continuation of the flowchart of FIG. 8-8. Specifically, following step 2SHS204 (Yes) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-8, the process of step 2SHS210A or the process of step 2SHS210B of the flowchart of FIG. 8-9 is executed. Further, following step 2SHS204 (No) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-8, the process of step 2SHS220 or the process of step 2SHS222 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-10 is executed.

  In the effect execution process shown in FIG. 8-8, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the period 1 (before development) (step 2 SHS200).

  In the variable display effect process (step S172) including the effect determination process, for example, execution data set (stored) in the process table (execution data for display operation, execution data for audio output operation, lighting) The execution of various effects (effect contents, execution time, switching timing, etc.) may be controlled using the operation execution data, the execution data for the driving operation of the button 2SH31C, etc.) and the process timer set value. Good. For example, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts 1 from the value of the process timer every time the variable display effect process is executed (for example, 2 milliseconds), and is set next in the process table when the process timer times out. While changing the control state with respect to the rendering device based on the execution data, the process timer set value corresponding to the execution data may be set as a newly subtracted process timer. The process table setting (for example, selection of a process table in which execution data or the like is set in advance, or setting of execution data or the like in the process table) is determined in the effect determination process of FIG. Based on the result, it may be performed in the variable display start setting process of step S171.

  Therefore, in step 2SHS200, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the period is T1, based on the setting contents of the process table, the process timer, and the like. The same applies to other periods such as the period T2, the period T3, the period T4, and various timings.

  When it is determined in step 2SH200 that it is the period T1 (step 2SH200; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes a battle effect before the development (first half) according to the battle effect pattern (step 2SHS201). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS200 that the period is not T1 (step 2SHS200; No), the production control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is period 2 (development to effective period) (step 2SHS202).

  When it determines with it being period T2 in step 2SHS202 (step 2SHS202; Yes), CPU120 for effect control performs the battle effect after development (the second half) according to a battle effect pattern (step 2SHS203). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS202 that the period is not T2 (step 2SHS202; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is period 3 (during the effective period) (step 2SHS204).

  When it is determined in step 2SHS204 that the period is T3 (step 2SHS204; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes a button operation effect according to the button operation effect pattern.

  Specifically, when the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1” or “BTP2” (in the case of symbol A1 in FIG. 8-9), the effect control CPU 120 displays the button image (button image display 2SH31C-G). ) Is displayed (step 2SH210A in FIG. 8-9). On the other hand, when the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3” or “BTP4” (in the case of symbol A2 in FIG. 8-9), the effect control CPU 120 displays a button image (button image display 2SH31C-G). Then, the button (button image display 2SH31C-G) is rotated (step 2SHS211 in FIG. 8-9).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a button (button image display 2SH31C) has been operated (step 2SH212).

  When it is determined in step 2SHS212 that there is no operation (step 2SHS212; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is the end timing of the valid period (step 2SHS213). When it is determined in step 2SHS213 that it is not the end timing of the effective period (step 2SHS213; No), the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. When it is determined in step 2SHS213 that it is the end timing of the effective period (step 2SHS213; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 stores that there is no operation (step 2SHS214), and the effect execution process flowchart ends. .

  When it is determined in step 2SHS212 that there is an operation (step 2SHS212; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 ends the valid period (step 2SHS215). In addition, the effect control CPU 120 stores that there is an operation (step 2SHS216), and the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS204 of FIG. 8-8 that it is not the period T3 (step 2SHS204; No), that is, when it is determined that it is “period T4 (after the end of the effective period)”, the effect control CPU 120 The presence / absence of a button operation and an effect (specifically, a whiteout effect, a collision effect, etc.) corresponding to the button operation effect pattern are executed.

  Specifically, when there is no button operation and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1” or “BTP2”, or when there is a button operation and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1” (FIG. 8-10). In the case of the middle code B11), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the execution period of the whiteout effect (step 2SH220 in FIG. 8-10). On the other hand, when there is no button operation and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3” or “BTP4”, or when there is a button operation and the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2” or “BTP3” or “BTP4” In the case of reference sign B12 in FIG. 8-10, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is a collision effect execution period (step 2SHHS222 in FIG. 8-10).

  It should be noted that immediately after the start of the period T3 (immediately after the end of the effective period), the execution timing of the whiteout effect or the collision effect is immediately started. In addition, immediately after the end of the whiteout effect or the collision effect, the execution start timing of the cut-in effect is assumed.

  If it is determined in step 2SHS220 that it is the execution period of the whiteout effect (step 2SHS220; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the whiteout effect (step 2SHS221). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. The effect control CPU 120 interrupts the developed battle effect when executing the whiteout effect. Further, the button image (button image display 2SH31C-G) is deleted by executing the whiteout effect.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS222 that it is the execution period of the collision effect (step 2SHS222; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the collision effect (step 2SHHS223). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. The effect control CPU 120 interrupts the developed battle effect as the collision effect is executed. The effect control CPU 120 interrupts the developed battle effect when the collision effect is executed. Further, the button image (button image display 2SH31C-G) is deleted by executing the collision effect.

  If it is determined in step 2SH220 that it is not the execution period of the whiteout effect (step 2SHS220; No), or if it is determined in step 2SHHS222 that it is not the execution period of the collision effect (step 2SHS222; No), that is, When it is determined that the whiteout effect or the collision effect has ended, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the execution period of the cut-in effect (step 2SHS230).

  When it is determined in step 2SHS230 that it is the execution period of the cut-in effect (step 2SHS230; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the cut-in effect according to whether or not the button is operated.

  Specifically, when there is no button operation (in the case of symbol B21), the effect control CPU 120 executes a determined cut-in effect for operation no operation (step 2SHS231). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. On the other hand, when there is a button operation (in the case of symbol B22), the effect control CPU 120 executes the determined cut-in effect with operation (step 2SHS232). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS230 that it is not the execution period of the cut-in effect (step 2SHS230; No), that is, when it is determined that the cut-in effect has ended, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the battle after development has been completed. An effect is executed (step 2SH240). That is, the effect control CPU 120 resumes the battle effect that was interrupted when the whiteout effect in step 2SHS221 or the collision effect in step 2SHS223 was executed. Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

(Example of effect operation related to the characteristic part 2SH (first embodiment))
8-11 to 8-13 are diagrams illustrating an example of the effect operation according to the feature unit 2SH (first embodiment). Specifically, FIGS. 8-11 to 8-13 illustrate an example of an effect operation in variable display in which a button operation effect is performed (variable display in which a battle effect with development is executed). 8-11, the display on the screen of the image display device 5 is (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E) → (F) → (G) → (H). Transition in the order.

  FIG. 8-11 (A) is a scene in which a battle effect (before development) by the ally character 2SHC1 and the enemy character 2SHC2 is started. 8-11 (B) and FIGS. 8-11 (C) are scenes of battle effects (before development). That is, any of the offense / defense (any of offense / defense B to offense / defense E) according to the battle effect pattern is performed. FIGS. 8-11 (D) and 8-11 (E) are scenes in which the teammate character 2SHC1 is defeated by the enemy character 2SHC2. In addition, in this example (example shown in FIGS. 8-11), a battle effect (after development) is executed later, but if not developed, variable display ends after FIG. 8-11 (E). In addition, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not to develop by making the production mode before development in the battle production with development and the mode of battle production without development common (same or substantially the same). it can.

  FIG. 8-11 (F) shows a scene of development. Specifically, the development notification effect by the appearance (display) of the teammate character 2SHC3 is executed.

  FIG. 8-11 (G) is a scene in which a battle effect (after development) by the ally character 2SHC1 and the enemy character 2SHC2 is started. In the lower part, “Final Battle” is displayed. FIG. 8-11 (H) is a scene of battle production (after development). In other words, any of the offense and defense (any of offense and defense A to offense and defense D) according to the battle effect pattern is performed.

  The example of the effect operation of FIG. 8-12 shows a scene following FIG. 8-11 (G). Specifically, the effect operation example in FIG. 8-12 illustrates an effect operation example in which a whiteout effect is executed. 8-12, the display on the screen of the image display device 5 changes in the order of (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E) → (F) → (G).

  FIG. 8-12 (A) is a scene in which a button operation effect by the button image display 2SH31C-G is executed. In the example shown in FIG. 8-12 (A), the instruction message 2SHM1 is also displayed.

  FIGS. 8-12 (B) and 8-12 (C) are scenes in which a whiteout effect is executed after the button image display 2SH31C-G is pressed. Since the entire screen becomes white due to the whiteout effect, the button image display 2SH31C-G and the battle effect (after development) cannot be seen.

  FIG. 8-12 (D) shows a weak cut-in effect due to the appearance (display) of the character 2SHCPJ without aura (in this example, the character is the same as the ally character 2SHC3, but may be a different character). It is a scene to be executed.

  FIG. 8-12 (E) shows a scene of the battle effect (after development) that has been resumed. FIGS. 8-12 (F) and 8-12 (G) are scenes in which the teammate character 2SHC1 is defeated by the enemy character 2SHC2. Thereafter, the variable display ends (after the next variable display is started).

For example, the display result is “losing”, the variation pattern is “PA3-4”,
When the battle effect pattern is “BAP2-5L”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, and the cut-in effect pattern with operation is “CP-J”, display on the screen of the image display device 5 8-11 (A) → FIG. 8-11 (B) → FIG. 8-11 (C) → FIG. 8-11 (D) → FIG. 8-11 (E) → FIG. 8-11 (F) → 8-11 (G) → FIG. 8-11 (H) → FIG. 8-12 (A) → FIG. 8-12 (B) → FIG. 8-12 (C) → FIG. 8-12 (D) → FIG. Transition is made in the order of −12 (E) → FIG. 8-12 (F) → FIG. 8-12 (G).

  The effect operation example of FIG. 8-13 shows a scene following FIG. 8-11 (G). Specifically, the effect operation example of FIG. 8-13 shows an effect operation example in which a collision effect is executed. 8-13, the display on the screen of the image display device 5 changes in the order of (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E) → (F) → (G).

  FIG. 8-13 (A) is a scene where the button operation effect by the button image display 2SH31C-G is executed, as in FIG. 8-12 (A).

  FIGS. 8-13 (B) and 8-13 (C) are scenes in which a collision effect is executed after the button image display 2SH31C-G is pressed. Specifically, the button image display 2SH31C-G collides with the background image 2SHH-G (in this example, while colliding while rotating) (FIG. 8-13 (B)), destroying (breaking through) the background image 2SHH-G. (FIG. 8-13 (C)). Although the valid period is ended by pressing the button image display 2SH31C-G (step 2SHS215 in FIG. 8-9), the button image display 2SH31C-G is not immediately erased but is used as an element of a collision effect.

  Further, when the collision effect is executed, the button 2SH31C is rotating. In the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the button 2SH31C (light emitter 2SH31C-4) is initially slow and then fast.

  Since the button image display 2SH31C-G collides with the background image 2SHH-G, it is referred to as a collision effect, but it can also be said that the button image display 2SH31C-G acts on the background image 2SHH-G. Therefore, the collision effect may be referred to as an action effect (an effect effect in which the button image display 2SH31C-G acts on the background image 2SHH-G). In this embodiment, the effective period is immediately ended by the operation of the button 2SH31C. However, the button image display 2SH31C-G is not immediately deleted by the operation of the button 2SH31C, and the button image display 2SH31C-G is the background image 2SHH-. It is used as an object that acts on G (element of action effect).

  FIG. 8-13 (D) shows a strong cut-in effect due to the appearance (display) of the character 2SHCKK with aura (in this example, it is the same character as the ally character 2SHC3, but it may be a different character). It is a scene to be executed.

  FIG. 8-13 (E) shows the scene of the battle battle that has been resumed (after development). FIGS. 8-13 (F) and 8-13 (G) are scenes in which the teammate character 2SHC1 wins the enemy character 2SHC2. Thereafter, the variable display ends (after the end, it is controlled to the big hit gaming state).

  For example, the display result is “big hit”, the variation pattern is “PB3-4”, the battle effect pattern is “BAP2-5W”, the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3”, and there is an operation. When the cut-in effect pattern is “CP-K”, the display on the screen of the image display device 5 is as shown in FIG. 8-11 (A) → FIG. 8-11 (B) → FIG. 8-11 (C) → FIG. 8-11 (D) → FIG. 8-11 (E) → FIG. 8-11 (F) → FIG. 8-11 (G) → FIG. 8-11 (H) → FIG. 8-13 (A) → FIG. Transition is made in the order of -13 (B) → FIGS. 8-13 (C) → FIGS. 8-13 (D) → FIGS. 8-13 (E) → FIGS. 8-13 (F) → FIGS. 8-13 (G).

(Explanation regarding another example of the first embodiment)
In the above description, as shown in FIG. 8C, the cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect determination process (step 2SHS109), but the cut-in effect pattern may be determined in the effect execution process. In the aspect in which the cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect determination process (that is, in the variable display start setting process), whether or not an operation is performed in the future (when the effect execution process is executed) depends on the stage of the effect determination process. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), two types of cut-in effect patterns for operation with and without operation are determined. In the aspect determined in the variable display effect process), one pattern (cut-in effect pattern corresponding to the presence or absence of the operation) may be determined based on whether or not the operation is actually performed.

(Decision ratio of cut-in effect pattern in another example of the first embodiment)
FIG. 8C is an example of the determination ratio of the cut-in effect pattern in another example (example in which the cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect execution process). In another example, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (C), the determination ratio of the cut-in effect pattern is varied depending on the display result and whether or not the collision effect is executed.

  Specifically, when the display result is “losing” and the collision effect is not executed (that is, when the whiteout effect is executed), the ratio is [CP-J: CP-K = 100: 0]. Any cut-in effect pattern (“CP-J”, “CP-K”) is determined.

  Although shown as remarks, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), if the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, the collision effect is not executed regardless of the presence or absence of the player's operation. Also, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), when the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2” and there is no player operation, the collision effect is not executed.

  When the display result is “losing” and the collision effect is executed, one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP” is displayed at a ratio of [CP-J: CP-K = 70: 30]. -K ").

  Although shown as remarks, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), if the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3”, the collision effect is executed regardless of whether or not the player has operated. As shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), if the player's operation is performed when the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”, the collision effect is executed.

  When the display result is “big hit” and the collision effect is not executed, any one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP-J”, “CP-K = 100: 0”) is used. CP-K ").

  Although shown as remarks, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), if the button operation effect pattern is “BTP1”, the collision effect is not executed regardless of the presence or absence of the player's operation. Also, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), when the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2” and there is no player operation, the collision effect is not executed.

  When the display result is “big hit” and the collision effect is executed, any one of the cut-in effect patterns (“CP-J”, “CP-J: CP-K = 20: 80”) -K ").

  Although shown as remarks, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), if the button operation effect pattern is “BTP3” or “BTP4”, the collision effect is executed regardless of the player's operation. Is done. As shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), if the player's operation is performed when the button operation effect pattern is “BTP2”, the collision effect is executed.

  In addition, the determination ratio of FIG. 8-7 (B) and the determination ratio of FIG. 8-7 (C) are the same. That is, the determination ratio in FIG. 8-7 shows the determination ratio in the case where the cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect determination process (within the variable display start setting process). The determination ratio when the cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect execution process (within the variable display effect process) while maintaining the determination ratio of B) is the determination ratio of FIG. 8-7 (C).

(Production determination process in another example of the first embodiment)
FIGS. 8-14 is a flowchart which shows an example of the effect determination process in another example (example which determines a cut-in effect pattern in an effect execution process). That is, in the case of another example, the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-14 is applied instead of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-3. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-14, the same steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-3 are denoted by the same step numbers.

  Comparing the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-3 with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-14, the difference between the two is that the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-14 includes the steps in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-3. There is no 2SH109 processing. That is, in another example, since the cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect execution process, as shown in FIG. 8-14, the cut-in effect pattern is not determined in the effect determination process in the other example.

(Production execution processing in another example of the first embodiment)
FIGS. 8-15 and 8-16 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the effect execution process in another example (an example in which a cut-in effect pattern is determined in the effect execution process). Specifically, the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-15 is applied instead of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-9, and the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-16 is applied instead of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-10. . Note that the flowchart of FIG. 8-8 is also applied in common to another example.

  That is, in the case of another example, the process of step 2SHS210 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-15 is executed following step 2SHS204 (Yes) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-8. In another example, following step 2SHS204 (No) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-8, the process of step 2SHS220 or the process of step 2SHHS222 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-16 is executed.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-15, the same steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-9 are denoted by the same step numbers. Comparing the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-9 with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-15, the difference between the two is that the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-15 is different from the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-9. There is a process in step 2SHS217 (a process for determining a cut-in effect pattern) that does not exist. The effect control CPU 120 determines the cut-in effect pattern in step 2SHS217 by the method (decision ratio) shown in FIG.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-16, the same step numbers are assigned to the same processes as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-10. When the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-10 is compared with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-16, the difference between the two is determined (stored) in the effect determination process in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-10. Select one of the two types of cut-in effect patterns (cut-in effect pattern for when operation is present, cut-in effect pattern for when operation is not performed) according to whether or not there is an operation, and select the selected cut-in effect pattern. Although the cut-in effect is executed based on this (steps 2SH231 and 2SH233 in FIG. 10), in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-16, the cut-in effect determined (stored) according to the presence or absence of the operation in the effect execution process. Based on the pattern (cut-in effect pattern determined in step 2SHS217 of FIG. 8-15) Is a point that is running in production.

(Modification 1 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the button operation effect is always executed in the battle effect with the development has been described (see FIG. 8-4), but there are cases where the button operation effect is executed and not executed in the battle effect with the development. It may be. In addition, when the button operation effect is executed in the development battle effect, the expectation of the big hit may be higher than in the case where the button operation effect is not executed in the battle effect.

(Modification 2 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which a button operation effect is not executed in a battle effect without development has been described (see FIG. 8-4), but there are cases where a button operation effect is executed and not executed in a battle effect without development. May be. Further, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be different between the case where the button operation effect is executed in the battle effect without development and the case where the button operation effect is not executed in the battle effect without development.

(Modification 3 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which a whiteout effect in which the entire screen is whitened as an effect in which the button image display 2SH31C-G disappears after the button 2SH31C is pressed has been described (see FIG. 8-12), but the button image display 2SH31C-G after the press is performed. If it disappears, it may not be a white-out effect. For example, a blackout effect that makes the entire screen black may be used. Alternatively, only the button image display 2SH31C-G may disappear.

(Modification 4 of the first embodiment)
In the above, when the button image display 2SH31C-G collides with the background image 2SHH-G, the background image 2SHH-G is always destroyed (breaks through), but the button image display 2SH31C-G becomes the background image 2SHH-G. When there is a collision, the background image 2SHH-G may be destroyed or may not be destroyed. That is, an image imitating the button 2SH31C (button image display 2SH31C-G) acts on another display (background image 2SHH-G), but as a mode of action, multiple types (for example, the background image 2SHH-G are destroyed). There may be a success mode, a failure mode in which the background image 2SHH-G is not destroyed, and the like. Moreover, you may vary the degree of expectation of jackpot depending on the mode of action. For example, when the button image display 2SH31C-G acts on the background image 2SHH-G and destroys the background image 2SHH-G, the button image display 2SH31C-G acts on the background image 2SHH-G and the background image 2SHH. -Expectation of jackpot may be made higher than when G is not destroyed.

(Modification 5 of the first embodiment)
In the above description, the button image display 2SH31C-G imitating the button 2SH31C has been described as the promotion display for promoting the operation on the button 2SH31C (see FIGS. 8-12 and 8-13). Characters and effects (flame, aura, etc.) may be added to 2SH31C-G. In addition, when a character, an aura, or the like is added to the button image display 2SH31C-G, the added item (character, effect) may constitute a promotion display that promotes an operation on the button 2SH31C. That is, the display for promoting the operation on the button 2SH31C may include a display added to the button image display 2SH31C-G in addition to the button image display 2SH31C-G imitating the button 2SH31C. Further, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be varied depending on what is added to the button image display 2SH31C-G.

(Modification 6 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the button image display 2SH31C-G acts on the background image 2SHH-G has been described (see FIG. 8-13), but the button image display 2SH31C-G may act on an image other than the background image 2SHH-G. For example, an object (an enemy character, an ally character, etc.) related to a super reach effect (battle effect, etc.) may be acted on (acting as an attack on an enemy character, acting on an ally character as an increase in defense), or super reach You may make it act on the object (For example, the target of a roulette, a dart, an archery, and archery) unrelated to a production (that is, displayed for a collision production).

(Modification 7 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example of destroying (breaking through) the background image 2SHH-G has been described as an action (see FIG. 8-13). Examples of the action include a change in color, a change in shape, a change in size, and a number. Change, character (including numerical values) change, movement change, position change, image switching, and the like. Specifically, for example, the button image display 2SH31C-G may act on the enemy character, the enemy character may change to a damage color, the enemy character's sword may be damaged, or the enemy character's HP ( (State) may be reduced in size (for example, heart), the number of enemy characters' HP (for example, heart) may be reduced, and the enemy character's HP may be displayed in characters or What to display may change, the action of the enemy character may slow down or stop, the enemy character may move backward, and the stage (background) of the battle may change . Further, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be varied depending on what action is performed. Further, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be varied depending on how it is operated. In addition, for example, when an hourglass model is provided, and the model is operated (for example, flipped), the hourglass image on the screen also changes according to the operation (for example, the flipped over and the sand starts to fall reversely). An effect that rewinds the inside effect may be executed (that is, it may act on the scene, conceptually it may act on time). It may be a time machine instead of an hourglass.

(Modification 8 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the button image display 2SH31C-G directly acts on the background image 2SHH-G has been described (see FIG. 8-13), but it may be indirectly acted on other displays. For example, a phantom beast may appear from the button image display 2SH31C-G after the operation, and may be caused to act on other displays by the attack of the phantom beast. Further, for example, a card (or item) may appear from the button image display 2SH31C-G after the operation, and may be caused to act on other displays depending on the effectiveness of the card (item). Further, for example, the button image display 2SH31C-G may store energy after the operation, and may act on another display by releasing the stored energy. Further, for example, the button image display 2SH31C-G may explode after the operation, and may be caused to act on another display by a blast (hot air) or a shock wave. Alternatively, a gun-type model may be provided, and a bullet may be fired toward a target (another display) from a gun image on the screen by operating the model (pulling a trigger). Alternatively, a lottery machine (forklift machine, bingo machine, etc.) model may be provided, and by operating the model, a ball may be dropped from a lottery machine image on the screen to a tray (other display).

(Modification 9 of the first embodiment)
In addition, there are cases where the button image display 2SH31C-G acts directly or whether the button image display 2SH31C-G acts directly (for example, a button). Depending on whether or not a phantom beast appears and acts from the image display 2SH31C-G, etc., the expected degree of jackpot may be varied.

(Modification 10 of the first embodiment)
Depending on what kind of image is displayed before the operation, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be varied. For example, a gun-type model (for example, a model of a trigger portion) is provided, and one of a plurality of types (for example, a rocket launcher, an objective rifle, a rifle, a handgun, etc.) is displayed at the start of the effective period, Depending on the type of firearm displayed, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be varied.

(Modification 11 of the first embodiment)
Depending on what kind of image is displayed after the operation, the degree of expectation of the jackpot may be varied. For example, it is provided with a forklift, and after operation, one of a plurality of types (for example, a gold ball, a red ball,..., A white ball) falls on the saucer, and depending on the type of the dropped ball, You may vary the degree of expectation of the jackpot.

(Modification 12 of the first embodiment)
In the above, the example in which the button image display 2SH31C-G acts on the background image 2SHH-G while maintaining the display mode imitating the button 2SH31C has been described (see FIG. 8-13). You may act on the background image 2SHH-G. For example, the button image display 2SH31C-G may change to a phantom beast after the operation, and may be caused to act on other displays by the attack of the phantom beast. Further, for example, the button image display 2SH31C-G may be changed to a cannon after the operation, and may be caused to act on other displays by a shell fired from the cannon. Also, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be made different depending on how it is operated (for example, what has changed).

(Modification 13 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example has been described in which the movement after the operation is the same regardless of the operation timing at any timing within the effective period as long as the button operation effect pattern is the same (see FIG. 8-6 (B)). The movement after the operation may be varied according to the operation timing. For example, when the operation is performed at a predetermined timing (just timing) within the effective period, the rate at which the collision effect is executed compared to when the operation is performed at a timing different from the predetermined timing within the effective period May be made higher.

(Modification 14 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the button 2SH31C may rotate before the operation of the button 2SH31C has been described (see FIG. 8-6 (A)), but it may not be rotated before the operation. In the above description, an example has been described in which the button 2SH31C may rotate after the effective period ends even if there is no operation within the effective period (see FIG. 8-6 (B)). The rotation may not be performed after the effective period ends.

(Modification 15 of the first embodiment)
In the above description, an example in which the display mode of the button image display 2SH31C-G before operation is one type (common display mode regardless of the button operation effect pattern or the like) has been described (see FIG. 8-6). A plurality of types of display modes of the button image display 2SH31C-G may be prepared. In addition, when preparing a plurality of types of display modes of the button image display 2SH31C-G before the operation, an operation performed after the operation of the button 2SH31C (or according to the display mode of the button image display 2SH31C-G before the operation (or The ratio of what operation is performed) may be varied. That is, the display mode of the button image display 2SH31C-G before the operation may be different for each button operation effect pattern (or the display mode of the button image display 2SH31C-G before the operation is determined according to the button operation effect pattern). You may vary the ratio).

(Modification 16 of the first embodiment)
In the above description, an example in which a cut-in effect (a weak cut-in effect or a strong cut-in effect) is always executed when a collision effect is executed has been described (see FIG. 8-4). There may be a case where it is executed and a case where it is not executed.

(Modification 17 of the first embodiment)
In the above description, an example in which the weak cut-in effect can be executed both when the collision effect is executed and when the collision effect is not executed has been described (see FIGS. 8-7 (B) and (C)). In such a case, the weak cut-in effect may not be executed. In other words, the collision effect may not be executed when the weak cut-in effect is executed.

(Modification 18 of the first embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the strong cut-in effect is not executed when the collision effect is not executed has been described (see FIGS. 8-7 (B) and (C)). May be executed. In other words, the collision effect may not be executed even when the strong cut-in effect is executed.

(Modification 19 of the first embodiment)
Further, when the collision effect is not executed, either the cut-in effect (weak cut-in effect and strong cut-in effect) is not executed or the weak cut-in effect is executed. Further, when the collision effect is executed, either the cut-in effect (weak cut-in effect and strong cut-in effect) is not executed or the strong cut-in effect is executed.

(Modification 20 of the first embodiment)
In the above, the example in which the execution start timing of the cut-in effect is after the execution start timing of the white-out effect has been described (see FIGS. 8-4 and 8-12), but the execution start timing of the cut-in effect is white. It may be before the execution start timing of the out effect. In the above description, an example in which the execution start timing of the cut-in effect is later than the execution start timing of the collision effect has been described (see FIGS. 8-4 and 8-13). It may be before the execution start timing of the collision effect. Also, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be varied depending on the timing at which the cut-in effect is executed.

(Modification 21 of the first embodiment)
Further, when the strong cut-in effect is executed, the weak cut-in effect may always be executed before the strong cut-in effect is executed. In other words, when the weak cut-in effect is executed, when the strong cut-in effect is executed following the weak cut-in effect, the strong cut-in effect is not executed following the weak cut-in effect. There may be cases.

(Explanation regarding feature 2SH (second embodiment))
Next, a second embodiment (also simply referred to as a second embodiment) that is an embodiment of the characteristic unit 2SH will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment can detect a player's movement. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, instead of the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B shown in FIG. 1 or the button 2SH31C shown in FIG. A bowling target model 2SH31D (see FIG. 8-17) is provided, and a player's operation on the bowling target model 2SH31D can be detected.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment can display a promotion display that promotes the operation of the player. In the second embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can display a bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G (see FIG. 8-26) as a promotion display that promotes the player's operation on the bowling ball model 2SH31D.

  Moreover, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment can execute a specific effect that causes the promotion display to act on another display based on the detection result of the detection means after displaying the promotion display. In the second embodiment, after the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays the bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G, the bowling ball image display 2SH31D is displayed as a specific effect based on the player's operation result on the bowling target model 2SH31D. A bowling effect in which -G defeats the pin image 2SHP-G (see FIG. 8-26) can be executed.

Also, the bowling ball model 2SH31D is displayed based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP1”, and when the player operates the left side portion of the bowling ball model 2SH31D within the valid period, the valid period is set. End, execute bowling production (turning ball right; bowling ball rolls right while turning on lane), run live production (may not run live production), number of pins to fall down to 0 It is trying to become. On the other hand, when the bowling ball model 2SH31D is displayed based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP1” and there is no operation by the player within the effective period, the non-throwing effect (the effect of not throwing the bowling ball on the lane) To do. The bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G is deleted at the start of the non-throwing effect.

  In addition, the bowling target model 2SH31D is displayed based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2”, and if the player operates the center part of the bowling target model 2SH31D within the effective period, the effective period is set. The bowling effect (ball straight line) is executed, the live effect is executed (the live effect may not be executed in some cases), and the number of pins that fall down is 1 to 10. In addition, when the bowling ball model 2SH31D is displayed based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2” and the player operates the right part of the bowling ball model 2SH31D within the valid period, the valid period is set. The bowling effect (ball turn left) is executed, the live effect is executed (the live effect may not be executed), and the number of pins that fall down is 1 to 8. Also, the bowling ball model 2SH31D is displayed based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2”, and if the player operates the left side portion of the bowling ball model 2SH31D within the valid period, the valid period is set. The bowling effect (ball turn right) is executed, the live effect is executed (the live effect may not be executed), and the number of pins that fall down is 1 to 5. On the other hand, the bowling target model 2SH31D is displayed based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2”, and when there is no player operation within the effective period, a non-throwing effect is executed.

  The cases of the bowling ball operation effect patterns “BWP3” and “BWP4” are also as shown in FIG. 8-19 (A description is omitted). As shown in FIG. 8-19 (A), the reliability of the number of pins that have been knocked down (that is, the difficulty of pinning) is: central operation (ball straight line) <right side operation (ball left turn) <left side work (ball) Turn right).

(Decision rate of the number of pins that fall in bowling production)
FIG. 8-19 (B) is an example of the determination ratio of the number of pins that fall in the bowling effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, the determination ratio of the number of pins that fall is varied according to the bowling ball operation effect pattern and the operation position (center, right side, left side) of the player.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (B), when the bowling ball operation effect pattern is “BWP1” and the player's operation position is at the center (that is, the bowling ball operation effect pattern “ In the case where a bowling effect (ball straight line) based on “BWP1” is executed), 1 to 5 pins are determined at a rate of 20%, respectively, as the number of pins that fall down during central operation. In other words, any one of 1 to 5 is determined at a ratio of [1: 2: 3: 4: 5 = 20: 20: 20: 20: 20].

  When it is a bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP1” and the player's operation position is on the right side (that is, when a bowling effect (ball turn left) based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP1” is executed) In this case, 0 to 4 pins are determined at a rate of 20%, respectively, as the number of falling pins for the right side operation.

  When the bowling ball operation effect pattern is “BWP1” and the player's operation position is on the left side (that is, when the bowling effect (ball right turn) based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP1” is executed) In this case, 0 is determined at a rate of 100% as the number of pins to be tilted for the left side operation.

  Also, when the bowling ball operation effect pattern is “BWP2” and the player's operation position is at the center (that is, when the bowling effect (ball straight line) based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2” is executed) ), 1 to 10 pins are determined at a rate of 10%, respectively, as the number of falling pins for central operation.

  When the bowling ball operation effect pattern is “BWP2” and the player's operation position is on the right side (that is, when the bowling effect (ball turning left) based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2” is executed) 1 to 8 are determined at a rate of 12.5%, respectively, as the number of pins to be collapsed for the right side operation.

  When the bowling ball operation effect pattern is “BWP2” and the player's operation position is on the left side (that is, when the bowling effect (ball right turn) based on the bowling ball operation effect pattern “BWP2” is executed) 1 to 5 are determined at a rate of 20%, respectively, as the number of falling pins for left side operation.

  The cases of the bowling ball operation effect patterns “BWP3” and “BWP4” are also as shown in FIG. 8-19 (B) (the description is omitted).

(Contents of live production)
FIG. 8-20 (A) is a diagram for explaining the contents of the live performance. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (A), “JP-J”, “JP-C”, and “JP-K” are set as the live performance patterns. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 8-20 (A), the live performance pattern “JP-J” is a live performance pattern in which a weak live performance that is live (displayed) “Oh ..” is performed. The live performance pattern “JP-C” is a live performance pattern in which a live performance is performed (displayed) as “How is it”? The live performance pattern “JP-K” is a live performance pattern in which a strong live performance is performed (displayed) as “Kita Kita!”. Note that the live effect may be by voice instead of or by display.

(Decision rate of whether or not live performance is performed)
FIG. 8-20 (B) is an example of a determination ratio of whether or not to execute the live performance. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, the determination rate of whether or not to execute the live effect varies depending on the number of pins that fall in the bowling effect.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (B), when the number of pins falling in the bowling effect is 0 to 7, the execution determination ratio is set to 50/100. Further, when the number of pins that fall down in the bowling effect is 8 to 10, the execution determination ratio is 80/100.

(Determination ratio of live performance pattern)
FIG. 8-20 (C) is an example of the determination ratio of the live performance pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, the determination rate of the live performance pattern is varied according to the number of pins that fall in the bowling performance.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (C), when the number of pins that fall down in the bowling effect is 0 to 4, [JP-J: JP-C: JP-K = 100: 0: 0], one of the live performance patterns (“JP-J”, “JP-C”, “JP-K”) is determined. That is, the live performance pattern “JP-J” is always determined.

  When the number of falling pins in the bowling production is 5 to 7, any of the production performance patterns (“JP-J”) at a ratio of [JP-J: JP-C: JP-K = 10: 90: 0]. ”,“ JP-C ”,“ JP-K ”).

  When the number of falling pins in the bowling effect is 8-9, or when the number of falling pins in the bowling effect is 10, it is as shown in FIG. To do).

(Production decision processing)
FIG. 8-21 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect determination process in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, which is executed in step S171 of FIG.

  In the effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-21, the effect control CPU 120 first sets the variable display change pattern to start this time based on, for example, the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11 and the like. It is determined whether or not the pattern is a variation pattern (step 2 SH300).

  When it is determined in step 2SHS300 that the variation pattern is “super reach” (step 2SHS300; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the bowling ball operation effect is executed (step 2SHS303). Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the bowling ball operation effect according to the determination ratio shown in FIG.

  Subsequent to step 2SHS303, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the bowling ball operation effect (whether or not it is determined to execute the bowling ball operation effect in step 2SH303) (step 2SHS304). When it is determined in step 2SHS304 that a bowling ball operation effect is to be executed (step 2SHS304; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines a bowling ball operation effect pattern (step 2SHS305). Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 determines the bowling ball operation effect pattern according to the determination ratio shown in FIG.

  Subsequent to step 2SHS305, the effect control CPU 120 determines the number of pins that fall over when the player operates the bowling target model 2SH31D within the effective period (that is, when executing the bowling effect) (step 2SHS306). . Specifically, the production control CPU 120 determines the numbers for the central operation, the right operation, and the left operation according to the determination ratio shown in FIG. 8-19 (C). In other words, since the presence / absence of the player's operation and the operation position are not determined at the stage of the effect determination process executed in step S171 in FIG. 7, it is assumed that any position will be operated in the future. The number of pins that fall for the central operation, the number of pins that fall for the right side operation, and the number of pins that fall for the left side operation are determined.

  For example, if the bowling ball operation effect pattern determined in step 2SHS305 is “BWP1,” the effect control CPU 120 determines 1 to 5 pins that fall for the central operation at a rate of 20%. The number of falling pins for right side operation is determined at a rate of 20%, and the number of falling pins for left side operation is determined at a rate of 100%.

  If the bowling ball operation effect pattern determined in step 2SHS305 is “BWP2,” the effect control CPU 120 determines 1 to 10 pins for the central operation at a rate of 10%. , 1-8 are determined at a rate of 12.5% as the number of falling pins for right side operation, and 1-5 are determined at a rate of 20%, respectively, as the number of falling pins for left side operation To do.

  Subsequent to step 2SHS306, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to perform the live effect when the player has an operation on the bowling target model 2SH31D within the effective period (that is, when the bowling effect is executed) (step 2SHS307). ). Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute each of the live effects for the central operation, for the right operation, and for the left operation based on the determination ratio shown in FIG. 8-20 (B). . That is, since the presence / absence of the player's operation and the operation position are not determined at the stage of the effect determination process executed in step S171 in FIG. 7 (that is, the number of pins to fall down is not determined), the future Assuming a scene where one of the positions is operated (that is, assuming the number of pins that fall depending on the operation position), whether or not to perform the live performance for the central operation, and execute the live performance for the right operation Presence / absence and execution / non-execution of live performance for left side operation are determined.

  For example, the bowling ball operation effect pattern determined in step 2SHS305 is “BWP1”, the number of falling pins for central operation determined in step 2SHS306 is 5, and the number of falling pins for right operation is 2 If the number of pins that fall for the left side operation is 0, the execution of the live performance is determined at a decision ratio of 50/100 for the central operation, and the execution of the live performance is performed for the right operation. The decision is made at a decision ratio of 50/100, and the execution of the live performance is determined at the decision ratio of 50/100 for the left side operation.

  For example, the bowling ball operation effect pattern determined in step 2SHS305 is “BWP2”, the number of falling pins for central operation determined in step 2SHS306 is 8, and the number of falling pins for right operation is 7 If the number of pins that fall for the left operation is three, the execution of the live performance is determined at a decision rate of 80/100 for the central operation, and the execution of the live performance is performed for the right operation. It is determined at a determination ratio of 80/100, and execution of the live effect is determined at the determination ratio of 50/100 for use in the left side operation.

  Subsequent to step 2SHS307, the production control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the live effect (whether or not it is decided to execute the live effect in step 2SH307) (step 2SHS308). More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the live effect for each of the central operation time, the right operation time, and the left operation time. When it is determined in step 2SHS308 that the live effect is to be executed (step 2SHS308; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines a live effect pattern (step 2SHS309). More specifically, when it is determined that the live performance is to be executed for the central operation, the live performance pattern for the central operation is determined, and when it is determined to execute the live performance for the right operation. Determines the live performance pattern for the right operation, and determines the live performance pattern for the left operation when it is determined to execute the live performance for the left operation.

  Specifically, in step 2SHS309, the production control CPU 120 determines the live performance pattern according to the determination ratio shown in FIG. 8-20 (C). When step 2SHS309 is performed, the flowchart of the effect determination process of FIGS. 8-21 is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 2SHS300 that the fluctuation pattern is not “super-reach” (step 2SHS300; No), the process of step 2SHS303 and subsequent steps is not performed, and the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG. To do. If it is determined in step 2SHS304 that the bowling ball operation effect is not to be executed (step 2SHS304; No), the process of step 2SHS305 and subsequent steps is not performed, and the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG. . If it is determined in step 2SHS308 that the live effect is not to be executed (step 2SHS308; No), the process of step 2SHS309 is not performed, and the flowchart of the effect determination process in FIG.

  FIG. 8-22 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect execution process in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, which is executed in step S172 of FIG. Specifically, the flowchart of FIGS. 8-22 shows the flow of the performance execution process in the variable display where the bowling ball operation effect is performed.

  For convenience of explanation, the period before the effective period (the period until the effective period of the operation) is referred to as “period T12”, the period during the effective period is referred to as “period T13”, and the period after the end of the effective period is referred to as “period This will be referred to as “T14”.

  The flowcharts of FIGS. 8-23, 8-24, and 8-25 are continued from the flowchart of FIGS. 8-22. Specifically, following step 2SHS404 (Yes) in the flowchart of FIG. 8-22, processing of step 2SHS410 in the flowchart of FIG. 8-23 is executed. Further, following step 2SHS404 (No) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-22, the process of step 2SHS420 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-24 or the process of step 2SHS430 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-25 is executed.

  In the effect execution process shown in FIG. 8-22, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the period 12 (before the effective period) (step 2SHS402). When it is determined in step 2SHS402 that the period is T12 (step 2SHS402; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect before the bowling ball operation effect (step 2SHS403). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS402 that the period is not T12 (step 2SHS402; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the period is 13 (during the effective period) (step 2SHS404).

  When it is determined in step 2SHS404 that the period is T13 (step 2SHS404; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes a bowling ball operation effect according to the bowling ball operation effect pattern. Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 displays a bowling ball (bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G) (step 2SHS410 in FIG. 8-23). In this embodiment, the bowling is displayed even if the bowling ball operation effect pattern is any of “BWP1” to “BWP4” (see FIG. 8-18 (A)).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not there has been an operation on the bowling ball (bowling target model 2SH31D) (step 2SHS412).

  When it is determined in step 2SHS412 that there is no operation (step 2SHS412; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is the end timing of the effective period (step 2SHS413). If it is determined in step 2SHS413 that it is not the end timing of the valid period (step 2SHS413; No), the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. If it is determined in step 2SHS413 that it is the end timing of the valid period (step 2SHS413; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 stores that there is no operation (step 2SHS414), and the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. .

  When it is determined in step 2SHS412 that there is an operation (step 2SHS412; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 ends the effective period (step 2SHS415). Further, the effect control CPU 120 stores that the operation is present (step 2 SHS 416), stores the operation position (center operation, right operation, left operation) (step 2 SHS 417), and the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS404 of FIG. 8-22 that it is not the period T13 (step 2SHS404; No), that is, when it is determined that it is “period T14 (after the end of the effective period)”, the effect control CPU 120 An effect (specifically, a non-throwing effect, a bowling effect, etc.) according to whether or not the bowling ball is operated is executed.

  Specifically, when there is no bowling ball operation (in the case of reference sign B31 in FIG. 8-24), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the execution period of the non-throwing effect (FIG. 8- 24 step 2 SHS 420). When there is a bowling ball operation (in the case of symbol B32 in FIG. 8-24), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the execution period of the bowling effect (step 2SHS430 in FIG. 8-25).

  It should be noted that immediately after the start of the period T13 (immediately after the end of the effective period), it is assumed that it is immediately the start timing of execution of the non-throwing effect or the bowling effect. In addition, it is assumed that the execution period when the live effect is executed is a period during which the bowling effect is being executed.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS420 of FIG. 8-24 that it is the execution period of the non-throwing effect (step 2SHS420; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-throwing effect (step 2SHS421). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends. Note that the bowling ball (bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G) is deleted by executing the non-throwing effect. When it is determined in step 2SHS420 of FIG. 8-24 that it is not the execution period of the non-throwing effect (step 2SHS420; No), the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  When it is determined in step 2SHS430 of FIG. 8-25 that it is the execution period of the bowling effect (step 2SHS430; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the bowling effect according to the operation position.

  Specifically, in the case of the central operation (in the case of reference numeral B321 in FIGS. 8-25), the effect control CPU 120 performs bowling corresponding to the determined number (the number of pins that fall down during the central operation). An effect (ball straight line) is executed (step 2SH431). In other words, the bowling ball rolls straight on the lane, and finally the bowling effect is executed in which the determined number of pins (the number of pins that fall for the central operation determined in the effect determination process) falls.

  In the case of the right operation (in the case of reference sign B322 in FIGS. 8-25), the effect control CPU 120 performs a bowling effect (ball) corresponding to the determined number (the number of pins that fall for the right operation). Left turn) is executed (step 2SH432). That is, the bowling ball rolls while turning to the left on the lane, and finally the bowling effect in which the determined number of pins (the number of falling pins for the right operation determined in the effect determination process) falls is executed.

  In the case of the left operation (in the case of reference sign B323 in FIGS. 8-25), the effect control CPU 120 performs bowling effects (balls) corresponding to the determined number (the number of falling pins for the left operation). Right turn) is executed (step 2SH433). That is, the bowling ball rolls while turning to the right on the lane, and finally the bowling effect in which the determined number of pins (the number of falling pins for the left operation determined in the effect determination process) falls is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 2SHS430 of FIG. 8-25 that it is not the execution period of the bowling effect (step 2SHS430; No), the bowling effect is not executed.

  After starting the execution of the bowling effect (after execution of steps 2SHS431, 2SHS432, and 2SH433), the effect control CPU 120 changes the process according to the determination result of whether or not the live effect is executed.

  Specifically, when the live effect is executed (in the case of reference B41 in FIG. 8-24), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the live effect execution period (FIG. 8). 25 step 2 SHS 440). When it is determined in step 2SHS440 that it is the execution period of the live effect (step 2SHS440; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes the live effect according to the operation position.

  Specifically, in the case of the central operation (in the case of reference sign B321 in FIGS. 8-25), the effect control CPU 120 executes the determined actual effect (actual effect for the central operation) (step 2SHS441). ). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  In the case of the right operation (in the case of reference sign B322 in FIGS. 8-25), the effect control CPU 120 executes the determined actual effect (actual effect for the right operation) (step 2SHS442). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  Further, in the case of the left operation (in the case of reference sign B323 in FIGS. 8-25), the effect control CPU 120 executes the determined actual effect (actual effect for the left operation) (step 2SHS443). Then, the flowchart of the effect execution process ends.

  On the other hand, when the live effect is not executed (in the case of reference sign B42 in FIG. 8-24), or when it is determined that it is not the live effect execution period at step 2SHS440 in FIG. 8-25 (step 2SHS440; No). The flowchart of the effect execution process ends without executing the live effect.

  As shown in the figure, the bowling effect is an effect in which the bowling ball (bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G) defeats the pin (pin image 2SHHP-G), and the bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G is a pin image 2SHP-G. It can be said that it is acting on. Therefore, the bowling effect may be referred to as an action effect (an action effect in which the bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G acts on the pin image 2SHP-G). In this embodiment, the effective period is immediately ended by the operation of the bowling lens model 2SH31D. However, the bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G is not immediately deleted by the operation of the bowling lens model 2SH31D, and the bowling ball image display 2SH31D is displayed. -G is used as an object (element of action effect) that acts on the pin image 2SHP-G.

(Explanation regarding another example of the second embodiment)
In the above description, as shown in FIG. 8-21, the number of pins that fall in the bowling effect is determined in the effect determination process (step 2SHS306), but the number of pins that fall in the bowling effect is determined in the effect execution process. Also good. In the aspect in which the number of pins that fall down in the bowling effect is determined in the effect determination process (that is, in the variable display start setting process), whether or not the operation is performed in the future (when the effect execution process is executed) Since it is not known at the stage of execution of the effect determination process, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (B), three numbers are determined for the center operation, the right operation, and the left operation. In the aspect in which the number of pins that fall down is determined in the effect execution process (that is, in the variable display effect process), one type (the number corresponding to the operation position) may be determined based on the actual operation position.

  In the above description, as shown in FIGS. 8-21, whether or not the live effect is performed is determined in the effect determining process (step 2SHS307), but whether or not the live effect is performed may be determined in the effect executing process. . In the aspect in which the presence / absence of the live effect is determined in the effect determination process (that is, in the variable display start setting process), whether the operation will be performed in the future (when the effect execution process is executed), the operation position, and the number of falls Since it is not known at the stage of execution of the production determination process, it is determined whether or not to execute the live production for the central operation, the right operation, and the left operation. In the aspect determined in (that is, in the variable display effect process), it is only necessary to determine whether or not to execute one live effect based on the number of actual operation positions.

  In the above description, as shown in FIGS. 8-21, the live effect pattern is determined in the effect determination process (step 2SHS309), but the live effect pattern may be determined in the effect execution process. In the aspect in which the live effect pattern is determined in the effect determination process (that is, in the variable display start setting process), whether or not the operation is performed in the future (when the effect execution process is executed), the operation position, and the number of falls are determined. Since it is not known at the execution stage of the decision process, three live performance patterns are determined for central operation, right operation, and left operation. In the mode determined in (in process), it is only necessary to determine one live performance pattern based on the number of actual operation positions.

(Production determination processing in another example of the second embodiment)
FIG. 8-29 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect determination process in another example (the number of pins that fall down in the bowling effect, the presence / absence of execution of the live effect, and the actual effect pattern determined in the effect execution process). That is, in the case of another example, the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-29 is applied instead of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-21. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-29, the same processing steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-21 are given the same step numbers.

  When comparing the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-21 with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-29, the difference between the two is that the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-29 is different from the step in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-21. There is no processing after 2SHS306. That is, in another example, in order to determine the number of pins that fall down in the bowling effect, whether or not to execute the live effect, and the live effect pattern in the effect execution process, as shown in FIG. The number of pins that fall in the bowling effect, whether or not to execute the live effect, and the live effect pattern are not determined.

(Production execution processing in another example of the second embodiment)
8-30 and FIG. 8-31 show an example of the effect execution process in another example (the number of pins falling in the bowling effect, the presence / absence of execution of the live effect, and an example of determining the live effect pattern in the effect execution process). It is a flowchart. Specifically, the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-30 is applied instead of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-23, and the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-31 is used instead of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-24 and FIG. 8-25. Apply the flowchart. Note that the flowchart of FIG. 8-22 is also applied in common to other examples.

  That is, in the case of another example, the process of step 2SHS410 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-30 is executed following step 2SHS404 (Yes) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-22. In another example, following step 2SHS404 (No) of the flowchart of FIG. 8-22, the process of step 2SHS420 or the process of step 2SHS430 of the flowchart of FIG. 8-31 is executed.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-30, the same steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-23 are denoted by the same step numbers. Comparing the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-23 with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-30, the difference between the two is that the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-30 is different from the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-23. Non-existing processing of step 2SHS426 (processing to determine the number of pins that fall in the bowling effect), processing of step 2SHS427 (processing to determine whether or not to perform the live effect), processing of step 2SHS428 (determination result of step 2SHS427) And the processing of step 2SH429 (processing for determining the live performance pattern). The effect control CPU 120 determines the number of pins that fall down in the bowling effect, whether or not to execute the live effect, and the live effect pattern, by a method similar to the method in the effect determining process shown in FIGS. However, since the operation position has already been specified (see step 2SHS417), one is determined according to the actual operation position.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-31, the same processing steps as those in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 8-24 and 8-25 are denoted by the same step numbers. Comparing the flowcharts shown in FIG. 8-24 and FIG. 8-25 with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-31, the first difference between the two is that in the flowchart shown in FIG. One of the three numbers (number of pins that fall for central operation, number of pins that fall for right side operation, number of pins that fall for left side operation) determined (stored) in the process Select according to the operation position and execute the bowling effect that the selected number of pins fall down (the straight line for the center operation, the left turn for the right operation, the right turn for the left operation). However, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-31, it is determined according to the operation position in the effect execution process (step SSH431, step 2SH432, step 2SHS433 in FIG. 8-25). ) A bowling effect in which the number of pins (the number determined in the processing of step 2SHS 426 in FIG. 8-30) falls down (a straight line in the case of center operation, a left turn in the case of right operation, and a left turn in the case of left operation) This is the point (step 2SH434 in FIG. 8-31) in which a right turn is performed.

  The second difference is that in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-25, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-25, the three live performance patterns (actual performance pattern for central operation, right operation) determined (stored) in the performance determination process. Is selected according to the operation position, and the live performance of the selected live performance pattern is executed (steps in FIG. 8-25). 2SH441, step 2SHS442, step 2SHS443), and the flowchart shown in FIG. 8-31, the actual performance of the actual performance pattern determined (stored) according to the operation position or the like in the performance execution processing is executed (FIG. 8- 31 step 2 (SHS 444).

(Modification 1 of 2nd Embodiment)

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the third embodiment can execute a special effect that causes another display to act on the promotion display based on the detection result of the detection means after displaying the promotion display. In the third embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays the touch image display 2SH31D-G1 to the touch image display 2SH31D-G4, and then to any one of the touch image display 2SH31D-G1 to the touch image display 2SH31D-G4. Based on the player's touch, as a special effect, the volleyball image 2SHVB-G (FIG. 8-) is displayed on the touch image display (one of the touch image display 2SH31D-G1 to the touch image display 2SH31D-G4 actually touched). 26) can be performed.

(Contents of volleyball production)
In the volleyball game, the team will block the opponent's player's spike. In this embodiment, four areas (upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right of the display screen) are set as places to block (places to reach out), and the player can select one of the four areas during the effective period. Can be selected. If a player chooses one area, whether or not the player in his team reaches the area and blocks successfully (whether his player can block the ball spiked by the opponent's player) ) Will be performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, the success or failure of the block is related to the reliability of the big hit, and when the block is successful, the big hit is more likely than when the block fails. In this embodiment, the reliability of the jackpot when the block is successful is irrelevant to the player's selection result. So, for example, if you jump high (the player selects the upper left or upper right) and the block is successful, or if you jump low (the player selects the lower left or lower right) and the block is successful, the big hit There is no difference in reliability. In other words, the success / failure ratio of the block is irrelevant to the player's selection result. So, for example, if you jump higher (when the player selects the upper left or upper right) or jump lower (when the player selects the lower left or lower right), there will be a difference in the percentage of successful blocks. I am trying not to.

  FIGS. 8-32 and 8-33 are diagrams illustrating an example of the effect operation according to the feature unit 2SH (third embodiment). Specifically, FIG. 8-32 and FIG. 8-33 illustrate an example of an effect operation in variable display where a volleyball effect is performed. The effect operation example of FIG. 8-33 shows a scene following FIG. 8-32 (D).

  That is, the display on the screen of the image display device 5 is as shown in FIG. 8-32 (A) → FIG. 8-32 (B) → FIG. 8-32 (C) → FIG. 8-32 (D) → FIG. 8-33 ( A) → FIG. 8-33 (B) → FIG. 8-33 (C) → FIG. 8-33 (D) or FIG. 8-32 (A) → FIG. 8-32 (B) → FIG. 8- Transition is made in the order of 32 (C) → FIG. 8-32 (D) → FIG. 8-33 (E) → FIG. 8-33 (F) → FIG. 8-33 (G) → FIG. 8-33 (H).

  FIG. 8-32 (A) shows a scene in which the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) is tossed above the player of the opponent team (the opponent team character 2SHC4). FIG. 8-32 (B) is a scene in which the player of the own team (the own team character 2SHC5) is waiting for a spike by the opponent team character 2SHC4. FIG. 8-32 (C) shows a scene where the opponent team character 2SHC4 spiked. In the example shown in FIG. 8-32 (C), the instruction message 2SHM3 is also displayed.

  FIG. 8-32 (D) shows a scene in which the player is prompted to touch the display screen. In FIG. 8-32 (D), the touch image 2SHTA-G1 that promotes the touch to the upper left area 2SHR1 is displayed in the upper left area 2SHR1 of the display screen. Further, in the lower left area 2SHR2 of the display screen, a touch image 2SHTA-G2 that promotes a touch on the lower left area 2SHR2 is displayed. In addition, a touch image 2SHTA-G3 that promotes a touch on the upper right area 2SHR3 is displayed in the upper right area 2SHR3 of the display screen. In addition, a touch image 2SHTA-G4 that promotes a touch on the lower right region 2SHR4 is displayed in the lower right region 2SHR4 of the display screen, and an instruction message 2SHM4 is also displayed in the lower portion.

  Touch image 2SHTA-G1 (the same applies to touch image 2SHTA-G2 to touch image 2SHTA-G4) represents the back of the hand of own team character 2SHC5. Since each of the touch images 2SHTA-G1 to 2SHTA-G4 has a different display position, the touch images 2SHTA-G4 are distinguished from each other with different reference numerals, but in the present embodiment, they are the same image.

  In this embodiment, the touch image 2SHTA-G1 (similar to the touch image 2SHTA-G2 to the touch image 2SHTA-G4) is an image of the back of both hands (left and right hands) due to the blocks in the volleyball. The person's touch may be one side (one palm, one hand finger, etc.).

  In the present embodiment, it is determined that the touch image 2SHTA-G1 (or the upper left area 2SHR1) is selected when the part of the touch image 2SHTA-G1 in the upper left area 2SHR1 is touched (that is, with respect to the upper left of the display screen) Although a player's touch is detected), it may be determined that the touch image 2SHTA-G1 (or the upper left region 2SHR1) is selected when a portion other than the touch image 2SHTA-G1 in the upper left region 2SHR1 is touched. The same applies to other regions.

(Example of directing action when touching the upper left)
FIG. 8-33 (A) → FIG. 8-33 (B) → FIG. 8-33 (C) → FIG. 8-33 (D) is a display screen after selecting the touch image 2SHTA-G1 (or upper left region 2SHR1). It is an example of the effect operation | movement performed after detection of the player's touch with respect to the upper left of No.).

  Specifically, FIG. 8-33 (A) to FIG. 8-33 (D) are scenes where the team character 2SHC5 is blocking, and FIG. 8-33 (D) indicates that the block has failed. It is a scene that is informing.

  In FIG. 8-33 (A), a block image 2SHBL-G1 including the touch image 2SHTA-G1 (a tip portion of the own team character 2SHC5 from the arm including the upper) is displayed. The touch image 2SHTA-G1 in FIG. 8-33 (A) is displayed at the same (or substantially the same) position as the touch image 2SHTA-G1 in FIG. 8-32 (D).

  In FIG. 8-33 (B) and FIG. 8-33 (C), the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) spiked by the opponent team character 2SHC4 is displayed on the former (touch image 2SHTA-G1) of the own team character 2SHC5. As a result, the block failed without hitting (hits the arm).

(Example of production operation when touching the lower left)
FIG. 8-33 (E) → FIG. 8-33 (F) → FIG. 8-33 (G) → FIG. 8-33 (H) shows the display screen after selection of the touch image 2SHTA-G2 (or lower left region 2SHR2). This is an example of the effect operation executed after the detection of the player's touch on the lower left of the player's head.

  Specifically, FIG. 8-33 (E) to FIG. 8-33 (G) are scenes where the team character 2SHC5 is blocking, and FIG. 8-33 (D) indicates that the block is successful. It is a scene that is informing.

  In FIG. 8-33 (E), a block image 2SHBL-G2 including the touch image 2SHTA-G2 (a tip portion of the own team character 2SHC5 from the arm including the upper) is displayed. Touch image 2SHTA-G2 in FIG. 8-33 (E) is displayed at the same (or substantially the same) position as touch image 2 SHTA-G2 in FIG. 8-32 (D).

  In FIG. 8-33 (F) and FIG. 8-33 (G), the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) spiked by the opponent team character 2SHC4 is displayed on the back of the team character 2SHC5 (touch image 2SHTA-G2). As a result, the block is successful.

  In the scenes of FIGS. 8-33 (B) and 8-33 (C), the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) hits the block image 2SHBL-G2 (part other than the touch image 2SHTA-G1) and the block fails. However, there may be a scene where the block fails because the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) does not hit the block image 2SHBL-G2. Further, in the scenes of FIGS. 8-33 (B) and 8-33 (C), the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) does not hit the touch image 2SHTA-G1, but the block fails. There may be a scene (block out or the like) where the volleyball image 2SHVB-G) hits the touch image 2SHTA-G1 and the block fails.

  Note that in the scenes of FIGS. 8-33 (F) and 8-33 (G), the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) hits the touch image 2SHTA-G1 and the block is successful, but the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB- There may be a scene where the block is successful without G) hitting the touch image 2SHTA-G1. For example, the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) may hit the block image 2SHBL-G2 (part other than the touch image 2SHTA-G1) and the block may be successful, or the ball (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) may be the block image 2SHBL-G2. There may be a scene where the block succeeds without hitting (strictly speaking, it is not due to the block, but, for example, a scene where the spike goes out with no touch).

(Modification 1 of 3rd Embodiment)
In the above, an example in which four areas touched by a player are displayed (presented) at the same time (see FIG. 8-32 (D)), but in order (for example, upper left → lower left → lower right → upper right → upper left → lower left) (...) may be displayed (presented) one by one so that the touch is valid for the displayed area.

(Modification 2 of the third embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the percentage of success or failure of the block is the same regardless of which touch area the player selects, but the percentage of success or failure of the block varies depending on which touch area the player selects. May be. For example, if the player selects the upper left or upper right (when jumping higher), the block will be more successful than if the player selects the lower left or lower right (when jumping lower). Also good. In the above case, the jackpot reliability when the block is successful may depend on the player's selection result. For example, if you jump higher (the player chooses the upper left or upper right) and the block is successful, you win more than if you jump lower (the player chooses the lower left or lower right) and the block is successful. The reliability may be lowered.

(Modification 3 of the third embodiment)
In the above description, the example in which the block image 2SHBL-G1 (block image 2SHBL-G2) including the touch image 2SHTA-G1 (touch image 2SHTA-G2) is displayed in the area touched by the player has been described (FIG. 8-33). In addition to the area touched by the player, the block image may be displayed in another area not touched. In other words, teammates may join the block and jump at the same time.

(Modification 4 of the third embodiment)
In the above, an example in which the player touches four regions has been described (see FIG. 8-32 (D)), but two, three, five, or more may be used. Moreover, it is good also as one area | region to touch, without giving an option to a player.

(Explanation regarding feature 2SH (fourth embodiment))
Next, a fourth embodiment (also simply referred to as a fourth embodiment) that is an embodiment of the characteristic unit 2SH will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment can detect a player's movement. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment includes a left operation button 2SH31EL (not shown) and a right operation button 2SH31ER (not shown) on the upper part of the upper plate as detection means. The player's operation on the left operation button 2SH31EL and the right operation button 2SH31ER can be detected. In addition to the left operation button 2SH31EL and the right operation button 2SH31ER, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment includes a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B shown in FIG. 1, and a button 2SH31C shown in FIG.

  Note that the shape of the left operation button 2SH31EL and the shape of the right operation button 2SH31ER may be different. If the shape of the left operation button 2SH31EL and the shape of the right operation button 2SH31ER are different, the left operation button image display 2SH31EL-G The shape of (left operation button translucent image display 2SH31EL-GH) and the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G (right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH) are different.

  FIG. 8-34 to FIG. 8-36 are diagrams illustrating an example of an effect operation according to the feature unit 2SH (fourth embodiment). Respective operation examples of FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36 show scenes following FIG. 8-34 (D).

  That is, the display on the screen of the image display device 5 is as shown in FIG. 8-34 (A) → FIG. 8-34 (B) → FIG. 8-34 (C) → FIG. 8-34 (D) → FIG. 8-35 ( A) → FIG. 8-35 (B) → FIG. 8-35 (C) or FIG. 8-34 (A) → FIG. 8-34 (B) → FIG. 8-34 (C) → FIG. 8- Transition is made in the order of 34 (D) → FIG. 8-36 (A) → FIG. 8-36 (B) → FIG. 8-36 (C).

  FIG. 8-34 (A) shows a scene in which the decorative symbols “left”, “middle”, and “right” are variably displayed. FIG. 8-34 (B) shows a scene that has reached a reach mode.

  FIG. 8-34 (C) is a scene in which the right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH appears from the left and right of the display screen as a pre-production. Each right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH is moving toward the center of the display screen. Since the operation target button is the right operation button 2SH31ER, the moving speed of the right operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31ER-GH that appears from the left side of the display screen and moves to the right side appears from the right side of the display screen. It is faster than the moving speed of the right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH that moves to.

  FIG. 8-34 (D) is a scene in which two right operation button semi-transparent image displays 2SH31ER-GH are combined and a right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is displayed on the right side of the center of the display screen. . That is, it is a scene displaying that the effective period of the right operation button 2SH31ER has been reached. In FIG. 8-34 (D), the instruction message 2SHM5 and an image imitating a hand are also displayed. Moreover, since it is the effective period of the right operation button 2SH31ER, the sound for promoting the operation from the right speaker 8R is output.

(Example of production operation in case of big hit)
FIG. 8-35 (A) → FIG. 8-35 (B) → FIG. 8-35 (C) is an example of the effect operation executed after the operation of the right operation button 2SH31ER.

  FIG. 8-35 (A) is a scene in which the display mode of the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is changed to a display mode corresponding to the big hit. In FIG. 8-35 (A), the image imitating the left is deleted, and the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is displayed in rainbow (for example, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, etc.). Display), and the entire display screen is changed to a thin rainbow display.

  FIG. 8-35 (B) is a scene in which the big hit is reported by the word “congratulations!”. FIG. 8-35 (C) shows a scene in which a big hit definitive decorative symbol is displayed.

(Example of production operation when lost)
FIG. 8-36 (A) → FIG. 8-36 (B) → FIG. 8-36 (C) is an example of the effect operation executed after the operation of the right operation button 2SH31ER.

  FIG. 8-36 (A) shows a scene in which the display mode of the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is changed to a display mode corresponding to the loss. In FIG. 8-36 (A), the image imitating the left is erased, the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is displayed in black and white, and the display mode is changed to a cracked state, and the entire display screen is changed to a thin black and white. The display has been changed.

  FIG. 8-36 (B) is a scene in which the loss is reported by the word “sorry!”. FIG. 8-36 (C) shows a scene in which a finalized decorative symbol for the loss is displayed.

  FIGS. 8-34 to 8-36 are examples in which the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is displayed. However, when the left operation button 2SH31EL is displayed, the right operation button image display 2SH31EL-G appears from the left side of the display screen. The moving speed of the left operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31EL-GH that moves to the left is slower than the moving speed of the left operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31EL-GH that appears from the right side of the display screen and moves to the left side. The left operation button image display 2SH31EL-GH is combined on the left side, and the left operation button image display 2SH31EL-G is displayed, but the other points are the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-. This is the same as when G is displayed.

  Even when the right operation button 2SH31ER (or the left operation button 2SH31EL) is changed to a rainbow display, a monochrome display and a crack display, the display color of the decorative pattern displayed in a reduced size is displayed. The same color may always be used (for example, the symbol “7” is always displayed in gold, the other odd symbols are always displayed in red, and the even symbols are always displayed in blue).

  In the example shown in FIG. 8-34, the two left operation button semi-transparent image displays 2SH31EL-GH appearing from the left and right are merged, but may not be merged after appearing (such as passing through each other). In the example shown in FIG. 8-34, two left operation button semi-transparent image displays 2SH31EL-GH appear from the left and right, but as another example that does not merge, the left operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31EL- GH may not appear.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 8-34, two right operation button translucent image displays 2SH31ER-GH appear, but as a pre-production, one left operation is performed at a position where the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G is displayed. The button translucent image display 2SH31EL-GH may be displayed. That is, for example, an effect may be executed in which the degree of transparency of the left operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31EL-GH is gradually reduced to change to the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G.

  Further, the aspect (type) of the pre-effect in the left operation button 2SH31EL and the aspect of the pre-effect in the right operation button 2SH31ER may be the same or different. Moreover, there may be a case where a prior effect is executed and a case where it is not executed. The ratio of whether the left operation button 2SH31EL is displayed or the right operation button 2SH31ER is displayed may be varied depending on whether or not the pre-production is executed. Further, there are a plurality of types of pre-effects, and the ratio of whether the left operation button 2SH31EL or the right operation button 2SH31ER is displayed may be varied depending on which pre-effect is executed.

  In addition, the ratio of operating the right operation button 2SH31ER as an operation target may be increased in the case of a big hit, and the ratio of operating the left operation button 2SH31EL may be increased in the case of a loss. In other words, after the right operation button 2SH31ER is pressed, the frequency of the rainbow display is higher than after the left operation button 2SH31EL is pressed. The frequency of changing to may be increased.

(Modification 1 of 4th Embodiment)
In the above, the movement speed of the right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH that appears from the left side of the display screen and moves to the right side is the right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH that appears from the right side of the display screen and moves to the left side. In the example described above, the two right operation button semi-transparent image displays 2SH31ER-GH are combined on the right side of the center of the display screen by making the moving speed faster (see FIG. 8-34). By delaying the timing when the right operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31ER-GH appears from the right side from the timing when the right operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31ER-GH appears from the left side of the display screen, Thus, the two right operation button translucent image displays 2SH31ER-GH may be combined. Further, by temporarily stopping the right operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH that appears from the right side of the display screen and moves to the left side, two right operation button translucent image displays are displayed to the right of the center of the display screen. 2SH31ER-GH may be combined. Further, the right operation button semi-transparent image display 2SH31ER-GH that appears from the right side of the display screen and moves to the left side is temporarily moved in the reverse direction (right side), so that the two right The operation button translucent image display 2SH31ER-GH may be combined.

(Modification 2 of the fourth embodiment)
In the above, after the operation of the right operation button 2SH31ER, the right operation button 2SH31ER is changed to the rainbow display when it is a big hit, and when the loss occurs, the right operation button 2SH31ER is displayed in black and white and the crack is generated. Although the example which changes to a display mode was demonstrated (refer FIG. 8-35, FIG. 8-36), the change of only any one may be sufficient. That is, after the operation of the right operation button 2SH31ER, the right operation button 2SH31ER may be changed to the rainbow display when the big hit is achieved, and the display mode of the right operation button 2SH31ER may not be changed when the loss occurs. In addition, after the operation of the right operation button 2SH31ER, the display mode of the right operation button 2SH31ER is not changed in the case of a big hit, and in the case of loss, the right operation button 2SH31ER is displayed in black and white and cracks appear to have occurred. You may make it change into a various display mode.

(Modification 3 of the fourth embodiment)
In the above, an example of the rainbow display has been described (see FIG. 8-35). However, any display mode other than the rainbow display (for example, a change to a special pattern, etc.) The shape may be changed, or special characters may be displayed. In the above, examples of black and white and cracks have been described (see FIG. 8-36), but display modes other than black and white and cracks (for example, freezing, petrification, etc.) can be used as long as the player can recall a loss. , Sand, collapse, vaporization, disappearance, etc.).

(Modification 4 of the fourth embodiment)
In the above, the example of executing the pre-effect after the reach has been described (see FIG. 8-34), but the pre-effect may be executed before the reach. In addition, the expectation degree of jackpot may be varied depending on at which timing (for example, before reach, after reach (first half), after reach (second half), etc.) the prior performance is executed. Also, at which timing (for example, before reach, after reach (first half), after reach (second half), etc.), the right operation button 2SH31ER (or the left operation button 2SH31EL) is displayed (that is, the valid period is reached). Depending on the), the degree of expectation of the jackpot may be varied.

(Explanation related to association of each embodiment of the feature part)
As mentioned above, although each embodiment (1st-4th embodiment) of the characteristic part was described, the element which comprises one embodiment may be suitably combined with the element which comprises other embodiment.

  For example, in the first embodiment, the button image display 2SH31C-G destroys (breaks through) the background image 2SHH-G (see FIG. 8-13), but if it is a big hit, the background image 2SHH-G is destroyed. In this case, the button image display 2SH31C-G may be changed to a rainbow display as in the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G of the fourth embodiment (see FIG. 8-35).

  Further, for example, in the second embodiment, a non-throwing effect is executed when there is no operation on the bowling ball model 2SH31D within the effective period (see FIG. 8-19). The display 2SH31D-G may be changed to a mode such as black and white or cracking as in the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G of the fourth embodiment (see FIG. 8-36).

  Also, for example, in the third embodiment, when the block is successful (see FIGS. 8-33), the touch image 2SHTA-G2 is included in at least one scene before the block is successful or after the block is successful. The block image 2SHBL-G2 (or only the touch image 2SHTA-G2) may be changed to a rainbow display as in the right operation button image display 2SH31ER-G of the fourth embodiment (see FIG. 8-35). .

  Further, for example, in the first embodiment, the button image display 2SH31C-G starts to act on the background image 2SHH-G by the operation on the button 2SH31C (in the case of a collision effect), but instead of or in addition to the operation on the button 2SH31C, The button image display 2SH31C-G may start to act by touching the button image display 2SH31C-G. Similarly, in the second embodiment, the bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G starts to roll by an operation on the bowling ball model 2SH31D, but instead of or in addition to the operation on the bowling ball model 2SH31D, a bowling ball image display 2SH31D- The bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G may start rolling by touching G.

  Further, for example, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the promotion display (button image display 2SH31C-G, bowling ball image display 2SH31D-G) is other display (background image 2SHH-G, pin image 2SHHP-G). In the third embodiment, other displays (volleyball image 2SHVB-G) act on the promotion images (touch image display 2SH31D-G1 to touch image display 2SH31D-G4). Display may interact. For example, by manipulating a cue model of billiards, a cue image simulating the model moves and the ball hits and collides with another ball. An effect such as a collision may be executed.

(Application to other scenes)

Further, it may be used to indicate whether a pre-reading notice effect (for example, a highly anticipated continuous pre-reading notice effect executed by changing to a special background) is executed. Moreover, you may use as what shows whether a pseudo-continuous production is performed. In addition, it is used to indicate whether or not to acquire a value irrelevant to the progress of the special game (for example, an item related to the effect, an experience value that can change the effect content, access information for acquiring an image or music, etc.) May be. The same applies to the bowling effect of the second embodiment, the volleyball effect of the third embodiment, and the like.

  In addition, when applied to the above-described variable display compatible display (holding display, active display), a button image or the like may act on the variable display compatible display. That is, a promotion display that promotes the player's action may be applied to another display (variable display compatible display). Moreover, when applying regarding the above-mentioned yes, pseudo | simulation continuous production, a button image etc. may act on a decoration design. In other words, a promotion display that promotes the player's action may be applied to other displays (decorative symbols, for example, temporarily stopped decorative symbols).

(Application to other devices)
In addition, although the example applied to a pachinko game machine was demonstrated above, it is applicable also to a pachislot machine. The collision effect of the first embodiment may be used to indicate whether or not various bonus games, ART, AT, RT, and chance zone have been won internally. For example, when the battle effect of the first embodiment is executed and the collision effect is executed in the big bonus production effect, the confirmation of the big bonus is made compared to the case where the whiteout effect is executed. You may make it a ratio become high. The same applies to the second to fourth embodiments. Further, it may be used as an indication of the current gaming state (operation mode). Moreover, you may use as a suggestion of the present setting value (a specific setting value, the setting value of a specific range).
