Therefore, the player can aim to win the first starting port 11 or the general winning port 10 by firing the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by left-handed. On the other hand, on the second flow path R2, a second start port 12, a gate 13, a first grand prize winning port 14, and a second major prize winning port 15 are provided. Therefore, the player fires the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by right-handed, thereby allowing the player to pass through the gate 13, the second start port 12, the first big winning port 14, or the second It is possible to aim for winning in the big winning opening 15.

  Note that game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings (the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the first major winning opening 14, and the second major winning opening 15) It is guided to the outlet 19 and discharged. In addition, the number of winning balls by winning in each winning opening can be set as appropriate.

  An indicator 8 is arranged on the lower left side of the gaming area 6 formed on the front surface of the gaming board 1 (a part other than the gaming area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, on the display devices 8, a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, a special figure 2 display 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and a universal figure are variably displayed. A universal display 82 is included. Further, the display unit 8 displays a special figure 1 hold display 83a for displaying a special figure 1 hold number to be described later (U1: the number in which the variable display of the special figure 1 by the special figure 1 display 81a is held), Also included is a special figure 2 hold display 83b for displaying a special figure 2 hold number (U2: the number of the variable figure 2 variable display by the special figure 2 display 81b being held), which will be described later.

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball in the first start port 11. Further, the variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12. In the following description, special figure 1 and special figure 2 are collectively referred to as special figure, and special figure 1 lottery and special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as special figure lottery. The special figure display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively referred to as a special figure display 81. Further, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b are collectively referred to as a special figure hold indicator 83.

  The special figure variable display notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the special figure variable display, the special figure is variably displayed and then stopped. A special figure to be stopped (a special figure derived and displayed as a stop special figure or a variable display result) is one special figure selected from a plurality of types of special figures by special drawing lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, that is, a jackpot symbol), the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 and the second big prize opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

  The special figure display 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure corresponding to the result of the special figure lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a jackpot (one of a plurality of types of jackpots to be described later), the special chart indicator 81 displays “□□ ■■ □□ ■■” (□: lit, ■ : The jackpot symbol composed of the lighting of the first, second, fifth and sixth LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery is lost, a special symbol display 81 “■■■■■■■ □” is displayed, indicating a losing pattern consisting of only the rightmost LED. To do. In addition, the lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited, and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all LEDs may be turned off as a lost pattern.

  Further, in the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is variablely displayed for a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. The special display variable display mode is, for example, a mode in which each LED is lit so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The variable display mode of the special figure is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set such that all the LEDs blink at the same time unless each LED is stopped (lighted display in a specific mode).

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning game ball (entering a ball) at the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, various random numbers (numerical information and determination information) for performing special drawing lottery, etc. An example) may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in a special figure hold storage unit 105 described later as a special figure hold. In the following description, various random numbers acquired by winning a game ball at the first starting port 11 (referred to as a winning ball) are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers” and winning the game ball at the second starting port 12. Various random numbers acquired by (entrance ball) are called “special figure 2 related random numbers”. Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored in the special figure 1 storage unit 105a in the special figure storage unit 105 as a special figure 1 storage unit. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored in the special figure 2 storage unit 105b in the special figure storage unit 105 as a special figure 2 storage unit. The number of special figure 1 holds that can be stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a (special figure 1 hold number) and the number of special figure 2 holds that can be stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b (special figure 2 hold number) It is possible to set an upper limit (for example, 4). In the following, the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are collectively referred to as “special figure hold”, and the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number are collectively referred to as “special figure hold number”. The special figure 1 related random numbers and the special figure 2 related random numbers are collectively referred to as “special figure related random numbers”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special figure is not performed immediately after the game ball wins the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special figure is being executed. If there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, it is possible to reserve a variable display of a special figure (or the right to draw a special figure) for the prize. The special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit 105 is digested when variable display of the special figure based on the special figure hold becomes possible. In other words, the special figure reservation means that a special figure related random number corresponding to the special figure hold is determined and variable display of the special figure for indicating the determination result is executed.

  The special figure hold number is displayed on the special figure hold indicator 83. Each of the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of special figure hold by turning on the LED for the number of special figure hold. It is possible.

  Further, the variable display of the normal map notifies the result of the general map lottery. In the variable display of the normal map, the stop map is displayed after the variable map is variable. A general map that is displayed in a stopped state (a general map that is derived and displayed as a display result of a variable display or a variable display) is one common map selected from a plurality of types of general maps by a general drawing lottery. When the stop-displayed general chart is a predetermined specific figure (a general figure of a predetermined stop mode, that is, a winning symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second start port 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed. .

  The universal map indicator 82 is composed of, for example, two LEDs, and displays a universal map corresponding to the result of the universal map lottery according to the lighting mode. When the result of the general drawing lottery is a win, the general symbol display 82 displays a winning symbol constituted by lighting of both LEDs such as “□□” (□: lit, ■: unlit). When the result of the regular drawing lottery is lost, a lost symbol constituted by lighting of only the right LED, such as “■ □”, is displayed.

3. Main games by the gaming machine Next, main games played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

3-1. Games related to general plans First, the games related to general plans will be explained. When the launched game ball passes through the gate 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a regular drawing. When the general map lottery is performed, the general map display 82 performs variable display of the general map (stop display after the variable display is performed). Here, there are a winning symbol and a lost symbol in the usual symbols to be stopped and displayed. In addition, the losing symbol of the ordinary figure is also referred to as “losing ordinary figure” in order to distinguish it from the losing symbol of the special figure described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the lost map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. In the following, the passage of the game ball through the gate 13 when the variable display or the auxiliary game is not performed is referred to as “establishment of the general variable start condition”.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a common figure-related random number when a general figure variation start condition is satisfied in performing such a series of games (a general drawing lottery, a variable display of a common drawing, and an auxiliary game). The common figure related random numbers to be acquired include normal symbol random numbers as shown in FIG. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for performing a hit determination. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. Winning determination The winning determination is a determination for determining whether or not to win (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. The hit determination table can be associated with a gaming state to be described later. In other words, the gaming state includes a non-short-time state and a short-time state. As a hit determination table, a hit determination table used in the non-time-short state (non-time-short hit determination table) and a hit determination table used in the short-time state (short-time) And a hit determination table). In each winning determination table, normal symbol random number determination values (ordinary symbol random values) are assigned to the winning and losing results of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table, and determines whether or not it is a hit or lose. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the normal map variation pattern determination for performing variable display of the normal map is performed. If the result of the hit determination is a hit, basically, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the usual figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is lost, basically, the lost map is stopped and displayed with variable display of the normal map. In addition, the winning probability of winning can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. Normal Map Variation The universal map variation pattern determination is a determination for determining a general map variation pattern using one or a plurality of general diagram variation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9B. The normal map variation pattern is identification information relating to a predetermined matter related to variable display of a general map such as a normal map change time.

  The normal variation pattern determination table can be associated with a gaming state. In other words, as a normal time fluctuation pattern determination table, a normal time fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-short normal time fluctuation pattern determination table) used in a non-short-time state and a normal time pattern change pattern determination table (when used in a time-short state) ( It is possible to distinguish between a short time normal map fluctuation pattern determination table).

  Each normal pattern variation pattern determination table stores one general map variation pattern, which is a result of the general pattern variation pattern determination, for each general map to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can vary the normal time variation time in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state. For example, in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the general figure when the lost figure (losing common figure) is stopped and displayed is determined as a normal figure change pattern in which the normal figure change time is 30 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the normal map when the display is stopped, the normal map change time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds. Also, in the short-time state, the variable display of the normal figure when the lost map is stopped and displayed is determined to be the normal pattern change pattern in which the normal figure change time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the normal pattern when the win symbol is stopped and displayed For the variable display of the figure, the usual figure fluctuation pattern is determined such that the usual figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The universal map variable display of the regular map variable time associated with the regular map variation pattern determined in this determination is performed by the universal map display 82. Further, these normal time fluctuations can be changed as appropriate. Thus, by performing the hit determination and the normal variation pattern determination, the variable display of the normal map is performed on the general map display 82.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game Auxiliary game is a variable display of a normal figure, and is executed when a winning symbol is stopped (derived) as a display result (result of a common figure lottery).

  The auxiliary game includes various elements such as elements constituting the auxiliary game (auxiliary game constituent elements), that is, the number of times the electric Chu 12D is opened, and the opening time for each opening. Each of these elements is associated with a gaming state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the auxiliary game using one or more auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9C based on the gaming state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Each auxiliary game control table stores auxiliary game components. In addition, the number of times of opening and the opening time of each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the opening time of the electric chews 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-short-time state and the auxiliary game in the time-short state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time-short state, the electric chew 12D is released only for the first opening time (the time during which it is difficult to win the game ball in the electric chew 12D (for example, 0.08 seconds)). Hereinafter, the auxiliary game in the non-time-short state is also referred to as “short opening auxiliary game”. In the auxiliary game in the short-time state, the electric chew 12D is held for the second opening time longer than the first opening time (the time during which it is easy to win the game ball to the electric chew 12D (for example, 3.00 seconds)). Open. In the following, the auxiliary game in the short-time state is also referred to as “long open auxiliary game”.

3-2. Games related to special figures Next, games related to special figures will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the special drawing 1 lottery when the launched game ball wins the first starting port 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs the variable display of the special figure 1 (stop display after performing the variable display), and notifies the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, the special figure 1 that is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the special drawing 1 lottery results include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is completed.

  Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special drawing 2 lottery when the launched game ball wins the second starting port 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs the variable display of the special figure 2 (stop display after performing the variable display), and notifies the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, the special figure 2 which is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the special figure 2 lottery results include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lose symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is finished.

  In the following, winning a game ball at the first start port 11 is referred to as “first start condition satisfied”, and winning a game ball at the second start port 12 “second start condition satisfied”. That's it. Further, “satisfaction of the first start condition” and “satisfaction of the second start condition” are collectively referred to as “satisfaction of the start condition”. In addition, the special symbol lose pattern is also referred to as a “lost special symbol” in order to distinguish it from the above-mentioned common symbol lose pattern.

  In performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, jackpot game, game state setting), the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires special figure-related random numbers when the start condition is established, Various determinations are made on the random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special figure related random numbers to be acquired include special symbol random numbers (big hit random numbers), big hit symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special figure variation pattern random numbers. The special symbol random number is a random number for determining the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for determining the jackpot symbol type. The reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number for determining the variation pattern of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. A random number may be referred to as determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot Determination The jackpot determination is a determination for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether or not a jackpot game is executed) using one or a plurality of jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with whether the game state is a normal probability state or a high probability state. That is, the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and the jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table) can be distinguished as the jackpot determination table. Is possible.

  In each jackpot determination table, the determination value of special symbol random numbers (special symbol random number value) is distributed to the jackpot and the loss that are the results of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 compares the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the high probability jackpot determination table has a larger number of special symbol random number determination values determined to be jackpots than the normal probability jackpot determination table. In addition, the probability of winning the jackpot can be changed as appropriate.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination The jackpot symbol type determination uses a jackpot symbol type determination table (one jackpot symbol type determination table) as shown in FIG. 10B when the jackpot determination result is a jackpot Is a determination for determining. For each jackpot symbol type, it is possible to associate jackpot components, such as the contents of jackpot, in other words, game benefits given to the player.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the start port where the winning is attributed to the jackpot symbol type determination (which generated the jackpot symbol type determination). Is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot symbol used when performing variable display of the special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, and in each jackpot symbol type judgment table, the jackpot symbol type random number judgment value (jackpot symbol type random value) is distributed to the jackpot symbol type that is the result of the jackpot symbol type determination Yes. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines the type of the jackpot symbol by collating the acquired jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table. In the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type random number value is appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. Also, the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type can be changed as appropriate. Also, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type according to the jackpot symbol type determination for the special symbol 1 is 50% for the jackpot symbol X and 50% for the jackpot symbol Y. The jackpot symbol Z can be set to 100% for the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by determining the jackpot symbol type. As described above, the special figure 1 lottery performed when the game ball is won at the first starting port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed when the game ball is won at the second starting port 12 are different. It is possible to vary the fraction.

3-2-3. Reach Determination In the reach determination, when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, whether or not to generate a reach with a special figure variation effect described later using one or a plurality of reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a determination for determining whether or not.

  The reach determination table can be associated with a gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, a reach determination table (non-temporal reach reach determination table) used in a non-short-time state is distinguished from a reach determination table (short-time reach determination table) used in a time-short state. It is possible.

  In each reach determination table, reach random number determination values (reach random values) are distributed between reach determination results “with reach (generate reach)” and “without reach (not generate reach)”. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 compares the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not reach is generated). As shown in FIG. 10C, it is possible to vary the number of reach random numbers determined to be “with reach (generate reach)” between the non-short-time reach determination table and the short-time reach determination table. It is. In the following, “with reach (generates a reach)” performed on the assumption that the result of the jackpot determination is “lost” is referred to as “lost with reach” and “no reach (does not generate reach)” ) ”Is sometimes referred to as“ unreach without reach ”.

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation The special figure fluctuation pattern judgment is performed by using one or a plurality of special symbol fluctuation pattern judgment tables (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) as shown in FIGS. 11 to 12. This is a determination for determining (special figure fluctuation pattern), and is performed regardless of whether the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot or a loss. The special figure variation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items relating to a special figure variation time, an effect flow (effect contents) of a special figure variation effect described later, and the like. The special figure variation pattern can include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the reach determination in addition to the special figure variation time and the production flow (production contents) of the special figure fluctuation production. As the special figure fluctuation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns having different identification information can be used, and the number thereof can be changed as appropriate.

  The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol that is subjected to variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of the start port where the winning due to the special diagram variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table: FIG. 11) used when performing variable display of special figure 1 and the variable display of special figure 2 are performed. It is possible to distinguish the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used sometimes.

  Each special figure variation pattern determination table can also be associated with a gaming state. That is, as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time reduction special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-short-time state and the special figure 1 used in time-short state. It is possible to distinguish between the fluctuation pattern determination table (time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is similarly used in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time reduction special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-short-time state and in the short-time state. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (short-time special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table).

  Each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, or a reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a reach loss, and a non-reach loss, respectively. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), reach loss, and no reach loss, respectively.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the number of special figure holds. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for loss without reach. Further, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless lose can be associated with the number of special figure holds. For example, it is used when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for loss without reach.

  Then, the special figure display unit 81 performs variable display of the special figure of the special figure fluctuation time according to the special figure fluctuation pattern determined in each special figure fluctuation pattern determination. Then, if the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a display result (result of special chart lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not immediately performed and the jackpot game is subsequently executed. The

  Further, each special figure variation pattern can be associated with a special figure variation effect production flow as shown in the second column from the right in the tables of FIGS.

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the tables of FIGS. 11 to 12, the special figure variation pattern may be given a name in association with the special figure (big hit determination result) and the contents of the special figure variation production. is there. For example, a special figure fluctuation pattern related to jackpot is called “jackpot fluctuation”. On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed among the loses with reach is called “SP loss fluctuation”, and the L reach, which is a type of reach, among the loses with reach, is performed. The figure fluctuation pattern is “L Loss fluctuation”, and among the losses with reach, the special figure fluctuation pattern where the special figure fluctuation production ends with N reach, which is a type of reach, is “N lose fluctuation”, without reach. Such a special figure fluctuation pattern is referred to as “normal loss fluctuation”.

3-2-5. Pre-reading determination Pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using one or a plurality of pre-reading determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure related random numbers. The look-ahead determination includes, for example, a determination as to whether or not a special symbol random number is determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot determination, a determination as to which jackpot symbol type the jackpot symbol type random number is determined in the jackpot symbol type determination, There are, for example, determination as to which special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the special figure fluctuation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of the start port related to the start winning. That is, as a pre-reading determination table, a pre-reading determination table (first pre-reading determination table) when winning at the first start port 11 and a pre-reading determination table (second pre-reading determination table) when winning at the second start port 12 , Can be distinguished.

  Further, the prefetch determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the prefetch determination table, a prefetch determination table (non-temporal prefetch determination table) used in a non-short-time state and a prefetch determination table (time-short prefetch determination table) used in a time-short state are distinguished. It is possible.

  That is, the prefetch determination table includes a first prefetch determination table used in the non-short-time state, a first prefetch determination table used in the time-short state, and a second prefetch determination table used in the non-short-time state. And the second prefetch determination table used in the time-short state can be distinguished. Note that what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination can be changed as appropriate.

3-3. Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes a plurality of round games with opening and closing of the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) and the first round game after the big hit game is started. It includes an opening (also expressed as OP) and an ending (also expressed as ED) from the end of the final round game until the end of the jackpot game. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP or ED. In the following, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as “round”. For example, the first round game (first round) is called “1 round (1R)”, and the 10th round game is called “10 rounds (10R)”.

  The elements constituting such a jackpot game (the jackpot game component) include the number of round games, the number of times of opening of the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) in each round game, Includes the type and opening time (opening pattern) of each winning prize opening, opening time (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or a plurality of jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more types of jackpot games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, a round game in which the first grand prize opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or the first big prize opening 14 for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. Opening round game is performed. In 16R (final round), there is a round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second big prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. Done. In each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the big prize opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the big prize openings 14, 15 has elapsed, End the round game.

  Further, the number of times and the time in each element can be changed as appropriate. Also, the jackpot game can be performed using both the first grand prize winning port 14 and the second big prize winning port 15, or using only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. Since the specific region 16 takes a closed state in which a prize cannot be awarded and an open state in which a prize can be awarded by the sorting member 16k, the operating mode of the sorting member 16k can be referred to as an open / close mode of the specific region 16. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the sorting member 16k is also referred to as “opening / closing mode of the specific region 16”. In this way, the sorting member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (the specific region 16 is a constant opening / closing mode), but the constant operation mode of the sorting member 16k (the constant opening / closing mode of the specific region 16), In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (ease) of making the game ball enter the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. Hereinafter, the specific region 16 being in the open state is also referred to as “V open”.

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big prize opening starts, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is opened for 29.5 seconds at the maximum, the opening time and timing of the second big prize opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is opened for 0.1 seconds at the maximum, the opening time and timing of the second big prize opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) that the game ball passes through the specific area 16 (the game ball enters the specific area 16). Thus, in the jackpot game, during the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member has a first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that allows easy passage of the game ball through the specific area 16 (hereinafter also referred to as “V passing pattern”). The VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult to pass the specific area 16 of the game ball It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as “V long jackpot”. On the other hand, a jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated in the V short opening pattern is referred to as “V short jackpot”.

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state”, “high probability high base gaming state” and “ The game state can be any one of the “hit game state”. “Low probability low base gaming state” is “low probability low base state”, “low probability high base gaming state” is “low probability high base state”, and “high probability low base gaming state” is “high probability The “low base state” and the “high probability high base game state” can be abbreviated as “high probability high base state”, respectively. As the states constituting the gaming state, there are a state related to the probability of being determined as “big hit” in the jackpot determination, and a state related to the ease of opening of the electric Chu 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-short-time state and a short-time state.

  The normal probability state is a state that is set in the “low probability low base gaming state” or the “low probability high base gaming state”, and the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot is a normal probability. The high probability state is a state that is set in the “high probability low base gaming state” or the “high probability high base gaming state”, and the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal probability state. When power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a normal probability state is set. And it becomes possible to switch from a normal probability state to a high probability state by winning a jackpot. For example, in a jackpot game, it is possible to switch to a high probability state when a game ball passes through the specific area 16. It is also possible to switch to a high probability state depending on the type of jackpot symbol. In the high-probability state, it is possible to switch from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state by performing a jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning a jackpot or winning the next jackpot.

  The non-time-short state is set in the “low probability low base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state”, or “big hit gaming state”. The short-time state is set in the “low-probability high-base game state” or “high-probability high-base game state”, and the game state in which the open time of the electric Chu 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time-short state. It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-short time state. In the short-time state, the special-figure variation pattern determination is performed using a special-figure variation pattern determination table that is determined so that the number of special-figure variation patterns with a short special-figure variation time is selected more than in the non-time-short state. It is also possible to do this (see FIGS. 11 to 12). As a result, in the short-time state, the special-patch holding pace is accelerated, and an effective winning (a winning that can be stored as a special-pending hold) at the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit with smooth progress of the game.

  In addition, the time reduction state can easily shorten the normal fluctuation time compared to the non-time reduction state. For example, in the short-time state, the normal time fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the normal time fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time-short state is determined. Therefore, the number of executions of the regular drawing lottery per unit time is larger in the time reduction state.

  In addition, it is possible to make it easier for the time-short state to be determined as a win in the hit determination than in the non-time-short state. For example, in the short-time state, the hit is determined with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability (for example, 6600/65536) that is determined to be a hit in the non-time-short state. Therefore, the number of times that the time reduction state is determined to be successful in the hit determination per unit time is larger.

  Thus, in the short time state, the open time of the electric chews 12D per unit time becomes longer than in the non-time short state, and it becomes easy for the game balls to win the second start port 12 frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot balls, becomes high. Therefore, in a short time state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a big win without significantly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the short-time state is more advantageous to the player than the non-short-time state.

  When the power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the non-time-saving state is set. And, for example, a short time state can be set by winning a jackpot. In the short-time state, it is possible to change from the short-time state to the non-short-time state by making a jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning a jackpot or by winning the next jackpot.

  It should be noted that, in the time-short state, it is easier to win the win, the normal fluctuation time is likely to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric Chu 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time-short state. The game according to the general plan is set to be advantageous to the player in three respects. However, some of the points that are advantageously set for the player may be included.

  Note that the gaming state after the power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a “low probability low base gaming state” in which a normal probability state and a non-time-short state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as a “normal gaming state”. In the “hit game state”, the hit determination is performed but the jackpot determination is not performed. Therefore, the non-short-time state is set with the start of the jackpot game. As for the gaming state, it is possible to use all of the gaming states described above or only a part of them.

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

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

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure variation effects are performed in “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state” and “high probability high base gaming state”. It is an effect mode that can be set when there is not, and indicates a standby state in which no special figure variation effect is performed. When the customer waiting effect mode is set, the customer waiting effect is performed. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16A-1, a customer waiting demonstration video G100 that introduces the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demo video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16A-2, a setting screen G101 for performing settings related to the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. Settings related to effects include volume setting of sound output from the speaker 52, luminance setting of the display unit 50a ("light quantity setting"), frequency setting of effects to be executed ("effect setting"), and the like.

  The normal performance mode is an effect mode that can be set when a special figure variation effect is being performed in the “low probability low base game state” or “high probability low base game state”, and indicates a non-time-short state. is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-1, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. 16B, a second normal effect mode in which a background image (evening normal background image G103) representing the evening mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a, and FIG. As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (night-time normal background image G104) representing a night mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. It is switched as one condition that the special figure variation effect is performed one or more times. Further, each of the first to third normal performance modes includes a normal first stage production mode before reach is established and a normal rear stage production mode after reach is established in the special figure variation production. In the normal first stage production mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. A corresponding background image is displayed. Further, a special performance mode set only in the “high probability low base gaming state” may be provided.

  The probability variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a special figure variation effect is performed in the “high probability high base game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates a high probability state and a short time state. In the probability changing effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-4, a background image (probability changing background image G105) representing the universe is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the probability variation effect mode includes a probability variation pre-stage effect mode before reach is established and a probability change post-stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the pre-change change effect mode, the probability change background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the post-change change effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The short time effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a special figure variation effect is being performed in the “low probability high base game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates a normal probability state and a short time state. In the time reduction effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-5, a background image (time reduction background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the short-time effect mode includes a short-time pre-stage effect mode before reach is established and a short-time post-stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the pre-time reduction effect mode, the time-shortening background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the time reduction post-stage effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being played in the “hit game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates that a jackpot game is being played. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-1, on the display unit 50a, the opening image G107 suggesting the start of the jackpot game or the right for prompting “right hit” A jackpot opening effect in which the hit image G108 is displayed is performed. During the round in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-2, the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls that have been paid out. Round production will be performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-3, the display unit 50a suggests the ending image G111 indicating the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of paid-out balls. The jackpot ending effect is displayed in which the total prize ball number image G112 to be displayed is displayed.

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

4-2. Next, the special figure fluctuation effect (also simply referred to as “fluctuation effect”) will be described. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a special figure variation pattern and a special figure lottery result (a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, a reach determination result, and Based on the special figure variation pattern determination result), the special figure variation effect is executed. In the special figure variation effect, the display unit 50a displays a variation of the effect symbol in a superimposed manner on a predetermined background image. The production symbol is composed of, for example, numeric symbols 1 to 9, and in the variation display of the production symbol, the production symbol fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the production symbol with the end of the variable display of the special figure Stops. That is, after the special symbol variation time and the effect symbol variation display are performed, the variation is stopped, and the effect symbol stop display is performed. And the result of a special figure lottery is alert | reported by the stop display of an effect design.

  In the special figure variation effect, in addition to the effect symbol variation display, there are various types such as the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the normal button 40, and the special button 41. It is possible to perform other effects using a simple effect device. In this case, other effects can be continuously performed even after the effect symbol is stopped and displayed.

4-2-1. Effect design display area As shown in FIG. 17A, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 has a left effect on each of the left side, the center, and the right side of the display unit 50a that is divided into three parts in the horizontal direction. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol stop display is performed in the special symbol variation effect. Similarly, the medium effect symbol area 50b2 and the right effect symbol area 50b3 are areas in which the medium effect symbol EZ2 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, a small symbol region 50c can be provided in a section of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end portion of the display portion 50a. The small symbol region 50c is a region where the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the special symbol variable display is performed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are composed of numeric symbols 1 to 9, for example.

  In FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol region 50b1, the middle effect symbol region 50b2, the right effect symbol region 50b3, and the small symbol region 50c are clearly indicated by a two-dot chain line, but this is the left effect symbol region 50b1. These are described to represent the ranges of the medium effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c, and are not actually displayed.

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

  When the special display variable display is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. The left small symbol KZ1, the medium small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped, the variable display of the special figure is not performed, and the state of waiting for the variable display of the special figure from FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, with the start, the change display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the change display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. Note that “↓” in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbol variation is being displayed. When the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “normal loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 17C-1, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different. After the temporary stop in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17D, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in the stop mode (so-called disparity) that suggests a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a loss, such as “1, 1, 2” and “2, 4, 6”, where the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern with a reach such as “N loss fluctuation”, for example, as shown in FIG. And the right effect design EZ3 temporarily stop in the same stop mode (so-called reach eyes), and reach is established. At this time, the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special diagram variation pattern is performed. In addition, the stop order and stop mode of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-3. N-reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N-reach when reach is established in normal fluctuations. The N reach is an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that the result of the jackpot determination is a “hit”, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. Will slow down. When the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 18C-1, a stop mode (so-called reach lose eye) suggesting reach loss is produced. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all together in a stop mode that suggests reach loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest reach loss, such as “7, 6, 7” and “5, 3, 5”, in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbol is different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N big hit fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. indicate. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a big hit, such as “7, 7, 7” and “2, 2, 2”, which have the same left and right symbols. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. It should be noted that the effect content of N reach is not limited to the moderate effect symbol EZ2 gradually decelerating, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP Reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the result of the jackpot determination is a “hit” is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In SP reach, after N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 19A, a background image dedicated to SP reach (SP reach background image G113) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and SP is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 representing the start of reach is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19B, an SP reach exclusive effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP reach exclusive effect is reached, when the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “SP jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. In 50a, an effect that suggests a big hit (for example, a display in which the main character is delighted to win the battle) is performed, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped in a stop mode (so-called double eyes) that suggests a big hit. indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. On the other hand, when the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “SP loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-2), an effect suggesting the loss (for example, an enemy character in battle) Display that is delighted to win) is performed, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode that suggests reach loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a loss. It should be noted that the effect content of SP reach can be changed or added as appropriate.

  Here, the possibility that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach will be stopped in a manner that indicates a jackpot (the jackpot expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot determination. For example, when the execution probability of N reach is 10% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is “hit”, the execution probability of the SP reach is If the jackpot determination result is “losing” and 4%, and if the jackpot determination result is “hit”, 100%, the SP reach jackpot expectation is higher than the N reach jackpot expectation It can be set high. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, and the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”. In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, and 30% when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”. For example, the SP jackpot expectation degree of SP reach B can be set higher than the SP jackpot expectation degree of SP reach A. In this way, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

A counter, a timer, a buffer, and the like that appear in the game control by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

[1. Main control main process]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the game control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads out and executes the main control main process program shown in FIG. 23 from the game ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, access permission setting to the gaming RAM 104, gaming CPU 102 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for interrupt time management) setting and the like are performed.

  Subsequent to the power-on process, interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is completed, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, the main timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, at a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main timer interrupt process (S005) is finished and before the main timer interrupt process (S005) is started next, various processes by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) are performed. The update process of the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

When the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time-short state is to be ended, the non-time-short state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating the transition to the non-time saving state is generated. If the special figure currently stopped is a lost symbol and the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are “0”, the customer wait indicating that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in a standby state. Generate a command.

[2-3-4. Big hit game control processing]
The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is performed using the jackpot game control table. After the transition to the jackpot gaming state, each round game is started according to the elapse of the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. Also, the ending is started in response to finishing the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process that is performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the gaming state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. When the duration of the high probability state is limited, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of special display variable displays that can continue the high probability state without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a high probability setting command indicating the setting of the high probability state is generated. When changing from the non-time saving state to the time saving state, the time saving state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. When the duration of the short-time state is limited, the duration of the short-time state (for example, the number of special display variable displays that can continue the short-time state without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a time reduction setting command indicating the setting of the time reduction state is generated.

  Note that the commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6). Production Control by Production Control Microcomputer 121 Next, production control by production control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. It should be noted that counters, timers, flags, buffers, and the like that appear in the following description of control of effects by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub-control main process]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out and executes the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, a power-on process corresponding to power-on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the CPU 122 for production, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, interruption is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for making determinations regarding various effects are updated. As an example, the update method of the effect determination random number counter for various effects can be the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above. Random values may not be added one by one at the time of update, but may be added two by two. The same applies to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  When the random number seed update process ends, a command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a in accordance with the received command (executes various effects based on the image). In addition to the various effects performed by the image control board 140, the sub-control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound), and lamp control. The frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 are caused to emit light via the circuit 151 (perform various light emission effects by light emission), and the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 are actuated (various movable body effects depending on the operation). Or run).

  Next, the production control microcomputer 121 permits interruption (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interrupt is permitted, the reception interrupt process (S4010) and the sub timer interrupt process (S4011) can be executed.

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

[2. Sub timer interrupt processing]
The sub timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed each time an interrupt pulse having a predetermined period (for example, 1 msec period) is input to the sub control board 120. In the sub timer interruption process (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, the input process (S4101), the light emission data output process (S4102), the movable device control process (S4103), the watchdog timer process (S4104), and the received command analysis A process (S4105), an effect timer update process (S4106), an audio control process (S4107), and an effect data creation process (S4108) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit that can be operated by the player, such as the normal button detection switch 40a and the special button detection switch 41a, is detected. In the light emission data output process, the light emission data is used to cause the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 to emit light at the timing suitable for the effect by the image based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process described later. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, drive data is output to perform a movable body effect that operates a movable device such as the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 at a predetermined timing, based on the production data created in the production data creation process. To do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a movable body effect that operates the movable devices 55, 56, 58, and the like in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In watchdog timer processing, the watchdog timer is reset.

  In the received command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 is analyzed by the reception interrupt process (S4010), and the process corresponding to the command (for example, selecting an effect, setting an effect mode, setting a command, etc.) I do. In the effect timer update process, a timer for measuring the time related to each effect is updated. In the voice control process, voice data (data for controlling voice output from the speaker 52) is created and output to the voice control circuit 161 based on the processing result of the received command analysis process. In the production data creation process, production data is created based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

  As shown in FIG. 30, at the center of the base part 221, a bottomed cylindrical protruding part 222 protruding in the direction opposite to the decorative part 225 side is provided. A rotating member 327 that can be rotated in accordance with the rotational drive of the first motor 321 can be disposed inside the protruding portion 222. The first motor 321 and the rotating member 327 will be described later.

  The base portion 221 has three circular holes 223 (see FIG. 30). These circular holes 223 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to the center of the base portion 221. Circular protrusions 255 protruding from the support part 250 are inserted into the circular holes 223, respectively. The circular protrusion 255 will be described later.

  The decorative portion 225 is formed by combining a first resin member made of a colorless and transparent material and a second resin member whose surface is plated. The decorative portion 225 includes a first surface portion 227 and a second surface portion 245 (see FIG. 29). The second surface portion 245 is a portion facing the base portion 221 in the movable portion 220 (see FIG. 30). The second surface portion 245 has three rod-like extending portions 246 that extend from the second surface portion 245 to the base portion 221 side. A base portion 221 is fixed to the tips of these three extending portions 246. Therefore, in the movable part 220, a predetermined gap is formed between the base part 221 and the decorative part 225 by the length of the extending part 246 (see FIGS. 20 and 30).

  The first surface portion 227 of the decoration portion 225 is a portion that can be visually recognized by the player through the colorless and transparent cover portion 210 (dome portion 211) in the hemispherical button unit 200 (see FIG. 27). As shown in FIGS. 27 and 29, the first surface portion 227 has a light transmitting portion 226 made of the first resin member.

  The decorative portion 225 of the present embodiment is also made of the first resin member for the second surface portion 245 and the interior of the decorative portion 225 (the portion between the first surface portion and the second surface portion). Therefore, when light is incident from the second surface portion 245 of the decorative portion 225, the light reaches the first surface portion 227 through the interior of the decorative portion 225. Then, light is emitted to the outside of the decorative portion 225 through the light transmitting portion 226 of the first surface portion 227.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the support portion 250 includes a support body portion 251 having a circular shape, a substantially disc-shaped light source portion 260 fixed to the support body portion 251, and a light guide plate 275. The support main body portion 251 has a circular shape with a larger diameter than the cylindrical portion 212 of the cover portion 210. Further, in the vicinity of the periphery of the support main body portion 251, there are a first leg portion insertion hole 253 corresponding to the first leg portion 213 of the cover portion 210 and a second leg portion insertion hole 254 corresponding to the second leg portion 215. Yes (see FIG. 32). A substantially circular central hole 252 is formed at the center of the support main body 251 (see FIGS. 31 and 32). Further, a rod-shaped circular protrusion 255 protruding from the surface of the support main body 251 is provided (see FIG. 31). The light source 260 and the light guide plate 275 are fixed to the tips of these circular protrusions 255. As shown in FIG. 28, the support part 250 and the decoration part 225 of the movable part 220 are separate and independent of each other. Therefore, the light source unit 260 and the decoration unit 225 are independent from each other.

  A fixing jig 322 for fixing the first motor 321 is attached to the back surface of the support main body 251 (see FIGS. 31 and 32). The fixing jig 322 includes a plate-shaped fixing portion 323 and a plurality of attachment pieces 325 protruding from the fixing portion 323 toward the support main body portion 251 of the supporting portion 250 (see FIG. 32). By fixing the attachment piece 325 to the back surface of the support main body portion 251, the fixing portion 323 is arranged in parallel with the support main body portion 251, and the distance between the fixing portion 323 and the support main body portion 251 is kept constant. (See FIG. 32).

  The first motor 321 is fixed to the lower surface of the fixing portion 323 with the surface on the rotation axis AX1 side being overlapped. The rotation shaft AX1 of the first motor 321 passes through the central hole 324 of the fixed portion 323. Thus, in this embodiment, the distance between the support body 251 and the first motor 321 is kept constant by the fixing jig 322.

  The light source unit 260 has a substantially disk shape as shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, and a plurality of (four in this embodiment) LEDs are arranged on the surface.

  The light guide plate 275 is for guiding only light traveling in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the light source unit 260 among the light emitted from each LED of the light source unit 260 to the decoration unit 225 of the movable unit 220. The light guide plate 275 has a substantially disk shape as shown in FIGS.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the substrate unit 280 is for controlling the light emission of the plurality of LEDs of the light source unit 260. In the present embodiment, the above-described photosensor 40a for detecting the pressing operation of the cover unit 210 is mounted. The photo sensor 40a corresponds to the normal button detection switch 40a described above.

  The sensor switch unit 290 is for shielding light from the photosensor 40a mounted on the substrate unit 280 (see FIG. 28). Specifically, the sensor switch portion 290 is formed with a light shielding portion 291 that can shield the photosensor 40a. The sensor switch part 290 has a rectangular shape whose length in the longitudinal direction is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical part 212 of the cover part 210. And the convex part 292 which protrudes in the cover part 210 side is each provided in the longitudinal direction both ends (refer FIG. 28). The concave portion 216 of the second leg portion 215 inserted into the second leg portion insertion hole 254 of the support portion 250 is engaged with the convex portion 292.

  The motor holding part 300 has a rectangular shape whose length in the longitudinal direction is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical part 212 of the cover part 210 (see FIG. 28). Wall portions 301 extending toward the cover portion 210 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the motor holding portion 300. The wall portion 301 is provided with an engaging portion 302 that protrudes in the radial direction of the cylindrical portion 212. A substantially circular central hole 303 is formed in the center of the motor holding unit 300. Note that the engaging hole 302 of the first leg 213 inserted into the first leg inserting hole 253 of the support part 250 is engaged with the engaging part 302 of the wall part 301.

  A second motor 331 is attached to the motor holding unit 300 (see FIG. 33). Specifically, a motor housing portion 305 is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the motor holding portion 300, and the second motor 331 is housed in the motor housing portion 305. An eccentric weight 332 whose center of gravity is offset from the rotation axis AX2 is attached to the rotation axis AX2 of the second motor 331.

  A bottom portion 310 shown in FIG. 28 has a circular shape substantially the same size as the support portion 250, is fixed to the bottom portion of the support portion 250, and includes a first leg portion 213 of the cover portion 210 and a second motor 331. The holding unit 300 and the first motor 321 are accommodated. A first urging spring 314 and a second urging spring 315 are provided between the bottom portion 310 and the motor holding portion 300. The first urging spring 314 is for urging the motor holding part 300 upward with respect to the bottom part 310 and the support part 250. The second urging spring 315 is for urging the sensor switch part 290 upward with respect to the bottom part 310 and the support part 250.

  The motor holding unit 300, the sensor switch unit 290 and the cover unit 210 are urged upward by the urging springs 314 and 315 with respect to the bottom unit 310 and the support unit 250. The photo sensor 40a of the cover unit 210 described above detects that the sensor switch unit 290 is disposed at the lower position against the second biasing spring 315.

  In the hemispherical button unit 200, the dome part 211 and the cylindrical part 212 of the cover part 210 are configured to cover the upper part of the support part 250 on which the movable part 220 is arranged. As described above, since the cover part 210 is made of a transparent resin member, the player can visually recognize the movable part 220 inside the cover part 210 (dome part 211).

  Further, the cover unit 210 and the motor holding unit 300 form the normal button 40. The cover part 210 can move up and down relatively with respect to the support part 250. When the cover unit 210 is pressed, the motor holding unit 300 and the sensor switch unit 290 are moved downward accordingly. Since the sensor switch unit 290 includes a pair of light shielding units 291, when the sensor switch unit 290 moves downward together with the cover unit 210, a pressing operation is detected by the photosensor 40 a disposed on the substrate unit 280. Is supposed to.

7-2. Hemispherical button unit vibration mechanism (first vibration mechanism, second vibration mechanism)
Next, each operation of the first vibration mechanism 320 and the second vibration mechanism 330 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the second vibration mechanism 330 will be described. When the second vibration condition is satisfied and the second motor 331 operates, the eccentric weight 332 of the second motor 331 rotates about the rotation axis AX2, as shown in FIG. Then, the second motor 331 vibrates due to the centrifugal force of the eccentric weight 332 and collides with the motor housing part 305 of the motor holding part 300. Then, the vibration of the second motor 331 is transmitted to the motor holding unit 300 through the motor housing unit 305, and is also transmitted to the cover unit 210 engaged with the motor holding unit 300 through the first leg unit 213. Thereby, the cover part 210 vibrates.

  In addition, the cover part 210 has the first leg part 213 inserted through the first leg part insertion hole 253 of the support part 250. Therefore, the movement of the cover portion 210 in the horizontal direction (that is, the direction in which the support main body portion 251 of the support portion 250 spreads) is limited to the size of the first leg insertion hole 253, while the first biasing spring 314 Vertical movement is allowed by expansion and contraction. Therefore, the vibration of the cover part 210 is a so-called pitch-type vibration in which the vibration in the vertical direction is larger than the vibration in the horizontal direction.

  Next, the first vibration mechanism 320 corresponding to the vibration mechanism of the movable portion 220 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 34 shows the movable portion 220 and the first vibration mechanism 320 that vibrates the movable portion 220. The first vibration mechanism 320 includes a first motor 321, a fixing jig 322, a coil spring 326, a rotating member 327, and a support portion 250.

  The movable part 220 has a configuration in which a disk-shaped base part 221 is covered with a decoration part 225. The base portion 221 is overlaid on the support portion 250 from above, and the protruding portion 222 of the base portion 221 is loosely fitted in the central hole 252 of the support portion 250.

  Here, the circular hole 223 of the base portion 221 has a larger diameter than the circular protrusion 255, and the circular protrusion 255 inserted into the circular hole 223 can move in the circular hole 223. That is, the movement of the base portion 221 is restricted by the contact between the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223 and the circular protrusion 255. In FIG. 36, the base portion 221 is moved in one direction in the horizontal plane and the movement is restricted by the circular protrusion 255, and the range Q in which the movement of the base portion 221 is allowed is indicated by a two-dot chain line. It is shown in In the present embodiment, the plurality of circular holes 223 and the circular protrusions 255 have the same size. Therefore, when one circular protrusion 255 abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223, the remaining circular shape The protrusion 255 is also in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223. This makes it possible to disperse the contact portion between the base portion 221 and the circular protrusion 255 in the circumferential direction of the base portion 221. Further, in the present embodiment, the base 221 can be smoothly moved by the circular protrusion 255 being in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 223.

  The rotating member 327 is attached to the center of the base portion 221, that is, to the protruding portion 222, and is rotatable relative to the base portion 221. Specifically, the rotation member 327 includes a rotation shaft 328 that extends in a direction orthogonal to the base portion 221 and penetrates the base portion 221, and an eccentric weight 329. The rotating shaft 328 is attached to the center of the projecting portion 222 via a bearing (not shown), so that the rotating member 327 can rotate relative to the base portion 221.

  The eccentric weight 329 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 328 and rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 328 (see FIG. 34). As shown in FIG. 35, the eccentric weight 329 has a fan shape in plan view. A circular recess 224 that allows the eccentric weight 329 to rotate is formed on the upper surface of the base portion 221, and the eccentric weight 329 rotates in the circular recess 224.

  The coil spring 326 is disposed coaxially with the rotation axis AX1 of the first motor 321. One end of the coil spring 326 is fixed to the rotation axis AX1. The other end of the coil spring 326 is fixed to the rotating shaft 328 of the rotating member 327.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, the natural length of the coil spring 326 is the length by which the base portion 221 (movable portion 220) fixed to the other end portion of the coil spring 326 via the rotating member 327 is lifted from the support portion 250. It has become. That is, the above-described fixing jig 322 has a distance between the support part 250 and the first motor 321 such that the base part 221 (movable part 220) is lifted from the support part 250 when the coil spring 326 is a natural length. I keep it.

  Next, the operation of the first vibration mechanism 320 will be described. When the first vibration condition is satisfied and the first motor 321 is operated, the other end of the coil spring 326 and the rotation member 327 are turned around the rotation axis AX1. Then, the base portion 221 (circular recess 224) is pushed by the eccentric weight 329, and the movable portion 220 also tries to turn.

  Here, since the rotating member 327 is provided with the eccentric weight 329 eccentric from the rotation axis AX1, the turning radius of the rotating member 327 is increased, and the base portion 221 collides with the circular protrusion 255 of the support portion 250. . Accordingly, the base portion 221 vibrates (swings) in the horizontal direction (that is, the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1) while repeatedly colliding with the circular protrusion 255 of the support portion 250 within the range Q shown in FIG. ).

  In this embodiment, the coil spring 326 is disposed coaxially with the rotation axis AX1 of the first motor 321, and can be elastically bent and deformed in the horizontal direction of the movable portion 220. Therefore, the base portion 221 is a rotating member that rotates. The base 221 moves in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1, that is, the rotation axis AX1 due to the centrifugal force of 327, the drag received from the colliding circular protrusion 255, and the restoring force of the coil spring 326. It is possible to vibrate randomly in a plane perpendicular to the.

  Thus, the base portion 221 of the movable portion 220 randomly vibrates in the horizontal direction within the range Q shown in FIG. Further, due to the expansion and contraction of the coil spring 326, the movable portion 220 is allowed to vibrate in the vertical direction. Therefore, the movable part 220 is allowed to vibrate both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction.

  As described above, the vibration pattern of the movable part 220 is different from the vibration of the pitch-type cover part 210 described above. Thus, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, since the vibration patterns of the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 are different, it is possible to easily distinguish the vibrations of the two members.

  Moreover, since the cover part 210 vibrates in the up-down direction, that is, the direction in which the cover part 210 is close to the player's near side (depth direction), the vibration of the cover part 210 is difficult for the player to visually recognize. On the other hand, since the movable part 220 vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1, the vibration of the movable part 220 is easier to be visually recognized by the player than the vibration of the cover part 210. As a result, the vibration state of the movable part 220 can be visually distinguished from the vibration state of the cover part 210 that covers the movable part 220.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the light source unit 260 is fixed to the support unit 250 through the circular protrusion 255. On the other hand, the movable part 220 can be displaced with respect to the support part 250. That is, the light source unit 260 is arranged at a predetermined position excluding the decoration part 225 regardless of whether the decoration part 225 of the movable part 220 is displaced. That is, even if the decoration part 225 is displaced, the light source part 260 is not displaced with the displacement of the decoration part 225. Therefore, when the decoration part 225 is displaced, it is displaced relative to the light source part 260. That is, it is possible to change the relative positional relationship between the decorative part 225 and the light source part 260 that are displaced.

  In addition, since the decoration part 225 of the movable part 220 is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis AX1 by the first vibration mechanism 320 at the time of displacement, the decoration part 225 from each LED that can be seen through the displaced decoration part 225 is visible It is possible to change the way light is seen.

On the other hand, when the special drawing lottery effect with the development effect is performed when the result of the special drawing lottery is “losing (losing with reach)” in the non-short-time state, the development is contrary to the case of the “big hit”. As a mode of production, the second mode is more easily selected than the first mode, and the third mode is more easily selected than the second mode.

  Thus, in the non-time-short state, the special figure variation effect that shifts to the SP reach through the development effect in the first mode becomes the SP reach through the development effect in the second mode or the development effect in the third mode. The jackpot expectation is higher than that of the special figure fluctuation production to be transferred.

On the other hand, when the special drawing lottery effect with the development effect is performed when the result of the special drawing lottery is “losing (losing with reach)” in the short-time state, the development effect is contrary to the case of the “big hit”. As a mode, the fifth mode is more easily selected than the fourth mode.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the special figure variation effect that shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the fourth mode in the short time state, and the special figure variation effect that shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the fifth mode. Expectation of jackpot is higher than.

7-4. Prefetch Determination Next, the prefetch determination of the present embodiment will be further described based on FIG. In the present embodiment, prefetch determination using the prefetch determination table shown in FIG. 41 can be executed based on the acquired special figure-related random numbers. Specifically, for example, when the game control microcomputer 101 acquires a special figure-related random number in accordance with winning in the start ports 11 and 12, based on the special figure-related random number and the prefetch determination table, The above-described prefetch determination is performed. Then, according to the result of the prefetch determination, a start winning command is generated and output to the effect control microcomputer 121. When receiving the start winning command, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute various effects based on the start winning command.

  Specifically, when the determination result of the special figure fluctuation pattern is the special figure fluctuation pattern “P21” in the prefetch determination, the “command 21” is output by the game control microcomputer 101 (see FIG. 41). In the same manner, when the special figure variation patterns “P22”, “P23”, “P24”, “P31”, “P32”, “P33”, and “P34” are determined in the prefetch determination, 22 ”,“ command 23 ”,“ command 24 ”,“ command 31 ”,“ command 32 ”,“ command 33 ”, and“ command 34 ”are respectively output (see FIG. 41).

  Similarly, for the prefetch determination of special figure 2, the special figure variation patterns “P71”, “P72”, “P73”, “P74”, “P81”, “P82”, “P83”, and “P84” are determined by the prefetch determination. "Command 71", "command 72", "command 73", "command 74", "command 81", "command 82", "command 83" and "command 84" Each is output (see FIG. 41).

7-5. Development Effect Next, the development effect of the above-described special drawing variation effects will be further described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 42 to 44. There are five types of development effects (first mode, second mode, third mode, fourth mode, and fifth mode) in the development effects of this embodiment.

7-5-1. Development effect in the first aspect The development effect in the first aspect is an image effect that prompts the operation of the special button 41 as shown in FIG. 22 (A) and an on-board as shown in FIG. 22 (B). This effect is a combination of a movable body drive effect using the movable device 55.

  In the present embodiment, after N reach of the special figure variation effect, a period (button operation effective period) in which the pressing operation of the special button 41 is effective is set. Then, during the button operation effective period, an image effect (button operation promotion effect) that prompts the operation of the special button 41 is performed. Specifically, the button operation promotion image G3 shown in FIG. 22A is displayed on the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when the special button 41 is pressed in the button operation effective period, or when the button operation effective period elapses without the special button 41 being operated in the button operation effective period, as shown in FIG. Then, the on-board movable device 55 is operated, and the on-board movable body 55k moves so as to overlap the display unit 50a when viewed from the player.

7-5-2. Development effect in the second mode In contrast to the development effect in the first mode, the development mode in the second mode is the operation of the normal button 40 comprising the hemispherical button unit 200 as shown in FIG. 42, a movable body drive effect using the on-board movable device 55, and an effect using the hemispherical button unit 200 (normal button 40) (hereinafter referred to as “first”). This is a production that combines “production”.

  In the present embodiment, a button operation effective period in which the pressing operation of the normal button 40 is effective is set after N reach of the special figure variation effect. Then, during the button operation effective period, an image effect (button operation promotion effect) that prompts the operation of the normal button 40 is performed. Specifically, a button operation promotion image G5 shown in FIG. 42 (A) is displayed on the display unit 50a. The button operation promotion image G5 includes an image imitating the normal button 40 (normal button image G51), an image indicating the pressing operation of the normal button 40 (pressing operation image G52), and an image indicating the remaining time of the button operation effective period. (Operation valid period remaining time image G53) (see FIG. 42A). The operation effective period remaining time image G53 includes a curved progress bar, like the operation effective period remaining time image G33 of the button operation promotion image G3 described above.

  After the button operation promotion image G5 is displayed on the display unit 50a, if the normal button 40 is pressed in the button operation effective period, or the button operation effective period is not operated in the button operation effective period without operating the normal button 40. When the time has elapsed, the on-board movable device 55 operates as shown in FIG. 42B, and the on-board movable body 55k moves so as to overlap the display unit 50a as viewed from the player. At the same time, a first effect in which the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 vibrate is performed.

  Therefore, when the player presses the normal button 40 during the button operation effective period and touches the normal button 40 even after the button is pressed, the cover unit 210 of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) is touched. The vibration can be experienced. On the other hand, even when the player does not press down the normal button 40 during the button operation effective period, the vibration of the movable portion 220 of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) can be visually recognized. Thus, the player can surely grasp the execution of the first effect regardless of whether or not the normal button 40 is pressed.

7-5-3. Development Effect in the Third Aspect The development effect in the third aspect is an image effect that prompts the user to operate the normal button 40 composed of the hemispherical button unit 200 shown in FIG. 42A, and FIG. As shown, the effect is a combination of a movable body drive effect using the on-board movable device 55. Unlike the development effect in the second aspect, the first effect using the hemispherical button unit 200 (normal button 40) is not performed in the development effect in the third aspect.

  In the present embodiment, the button operation effective period in which the pressing operation of the normal button 40 is effective is set after N reach of the special figure variation effect as in the development effect in the second mode. Then, during the button operation effective period, an image effect (button operation promotion effect) similar to the development effect in the second mode is performed to prompt the operation of the normal button 40. Thereafter, when the normal button 40 is pressed during the button operation effective period, or when the button operation effective period elapses without the normal button 40 being operated during the button operation effective period, as shown in FIG. The on-board movable device 55 is activated, and the on-board movable body 55k moves so as to overlap the display unit 50a as viewed from the player. In the development effect in the third mode, unlike the development effect in the second mode, the cover part 210 of the hemispherical button unit 200 is also movable with the execution of the movable body driving effect using the on-board movable body 55k. The part 220 does not vibrate.

7-5-4. Development Effect in the Fourth Aspect The development effect in the fourth aspect is an effect shown in FIGS. 43 (B) and 43 (C). That is, as shown in FIG. 43 (B), an image effect (hereinafter referred to as “second effect”) in which the probability changing background image G105 in a state shifted from the display unit 50a vibrates is displayed, and FIG. As shown in (B) and FIG. 43 (C), the effect is a combination of vibration effects in which the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 vibrate.

  In the present embodiment, after the start of the normal variation shown in FIG. 43A, the second image effect indicating the state where the probability variation background image G105 is shifted from the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. 43B. Production is performed. Specifically, the second effect is performed such that the probability change background image G105 is displayed in a substantially rectangular display region HR that is obliquely displaced from the periphery of the approximately rectangular display unit 50a. Therefore, it is possible to indicate to the player that the normal variation that has been started has changed to a display mode different from normal, and it is possible to give an impact to the player.

  Further, in the second effect, display is performed such that the entire display area HR is vibrating. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention for the second performance. Therefore, the player who saw the second effect can proceed with the game with high interest.

  Moreover, in addition to the second effect in which the probability changing background image G105 (display area HR) in a state shifted from the display unit 50a is vibrated, a button operation promotion image G5 similar to the second aspect described above is displayed. An image effect shown on the front side is also performed. That is, an image effect that prompts the operation of the normal button 40 is also executed.

  In addition to the execution of the image effect that prompts the user to operate the normal button 40, the first effect described above is performed in which the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 vibrate (see FIG. 43B). That is, the first effect in which the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) vibrates together with the second effect in which the probability changing background image G105 (display area HR) that is shifted from the display unit 50a is vibrated. Is also executed. Therefore, it is possible to make the player have an illusion that the display unit 50a and the entire pachinko gaming machine PY1 including the normal button 40 are vibrating together with the normal button 40.

  When the normal button 40 is pressed during the button operation effective period, or when the button operation effective period elapses without the normal button 40 being operated during the button operation effective period, a display unit as shown in FIG. An image effect in which almost the entire area 50a is in a blackout state is performed. As a result, it is possible to give a great surprise to the player by checking the intention of the player who thought that the execution of the normal performance would continue.

  Further, the first effect is performed together with the execution of the image effect in the blackout state (see FIG. 43C). That is, the first effect is continuously executed also in FIG. 43C following FIG. 43B. Therefore, when the player presses the normal button 40 during the button operation effective period, the vibration of the cover part 210 of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) can be experienced when the normal button 40 is operated. It has become. On the other hand, even when the player does not press down the normal button 40 during the button operation effective period, the vibration of the movable portion 220 of the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) can be visually recognized.

  The development effect in the fourth aspect is completed by executing the image effect shown in FIG. 43C for a predetermined period (for example, 5 seconds). Thereafter, the above-described SP reach is continued.

7-5-5. Development Effect in the Fifth Aspect The development effect in the fifth aspect is the second effect shown in FIG. 44 (B). That is, the development effect in the fifth aspect does not have the first effect.

  In the present embodiment, after the execution of the normal variation shown in FIG. 44 (A), the probability change background image G105 is displayed from the display unit 50a, which is the same as the development effect in the fourth mode as shown in FIG. 44 (B). A second effect indicating the shifted state is executed. Therefore, it is possible to indicate to the player that the normal variation that has been started has changed to a display mode different from normal, and it is possible to give an impact to the player.

  Furthermore, in the 2nd production, the display which the whole display area HR vibrates is made like the development production in the 4th mode. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention for the image production. Therefore, the player who saw the second effect can proceed with the game with high interest.

  However, unlike the development effect in the fourth aspect, in addition to the second effect, the image effect that overlaps the button operation promotion image G5 is not performed. Further, the first effect is not performed.

  The development effect in the fifth aspect is completed when the image effect shown in FIG. 44B is executed for a predetermined period (for example, 8 seconds). Thereafter, the above-described SP reach is continued.

7-5-6. As described above, when the special drawing variation effect with the development effect is executed when the result of the special drawing lottery is “hit” in the non-time-saving state, as described above, The second mode is more easily selected than the third mode, and the first mode is more easily selected than the second mode. On the other hand, when the special drawing variation effect accompanied with the development effect is performed when the result of the special drawing lottery is “losing” in the non-time-short state, the second mode is selected as the development effect mode rather than the first mode. The third mode is easier to select than the second mode.

  The development effect in the first aspect is an effect including an image effect that prompts the operation of the special button 41. On the other hand, the development effect in the second aspect and the development effect in the third aspect are effects including an image effect that prompts the user to operate the normal button 40. Therefore, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, in the development effect, the expectation of jackpot is higher in the effect involving the operation of the special button 41 than in the effect involving the operation of the normal button 40. Therefore, the player can have a higher expectation in the case where an effect of operating the special button 41 is performed rather than the normal button 40.

  Furthermore, the development effect in the third aspect is an effect in which the first effect is not performed. That is, in accordance with the execution of the movable body drive effect using the on-board movable body 55k, the cover section 210 and the movable section 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 do not vibrate. On the other hand, the development effect in the second aspect is an effect in which the first effect is performed. That is, the effect is that the cover part 210 and the movable part 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 vibrate with the execution of the movable body drive effect using the on-board movable body 55k. Therefore, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, in the development effect having a non-short-time state, the effect that the normal button 40 vibrates has a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than the effect that does not vibrate. For this reason, the player can have a higher sense of expectation when an effect in which the normal button 40 vibrates is performed.

  In addition, when the special drawing variation effect with the development effect is executed when the result of the special drawing lottery is “big hit” in the short time state, the fourth mode is selected as the mode of the development effect rather than the fifth mode. easy. On the other hand, when the special drawing variation effect with the development effect is performed when the result of the special drawing lottery is “losing” in the short-time state, the fifth mode is more easily selected as the mode of the development effect than the fourth mode. .

  Further, the development effect in the fourth aspect is an effect including a first effect in which the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200) vibrates. On the other hand, the development effect in the fifth aspect is an effect that does not include the first effect. Therefore, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, even in the development effect in the short-time state, the effect that the normal button 40 vibrates has a higher jackpot expectation than the effect that does not vibrate. Therefore, the player can have a higher expectation in the case where the effect that the normal button 40 vibrates is performed in both the time-short state and the non-time-short state.

8). Effects of First Embodiment As described in detail above, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, when both the first effect and the second effect are executed, the player is said to be a more lively effect. It is possible to make it feel. In addition, it is possible to make the player expect a big hit gaming state as compared with the case of only the first effect or the second effect.

  Therefore, the player can advance the game with high interest after executing the first effect and the second effect. In addition, it is possible to make an illusion that the display unit 50a and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 including the normal button 40 are vibrated together with the normal button 40 (hemispherical button unit 200). Thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the production.

  Further, the second effect is an image effect that displays such that the probability variation background image G105 in a state shifted from the display unit 50a vibrates, and therefore the probability variation background image G105 vibrates (varies). It is easy for the player to visually grasp that it is.

  Further, the player can visually recognize the vibrations of the first effect and the second effect that are being executed. That is, for example, even if a game is being played in a noisy game hall (hall), the player can reliably grasp the execution of the two effects.

  Further, the player can know the vibration of the first effect being executed by touch and the vibration of the second effect being executed along with the first effect. That is, the player can reliably grasp the execution of the two effects using the five senses.

9. Modification Example Next, a modification example of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment will be described. In the description of the modified example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. Of course, you may comprise combining the structure which concerns on a modified example suitably. In addition, the technical features in the first embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted unless they are described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, the hemispherical button unit 200 that forms the normal button 40 is used as the vibration means. However, a device other than the hemispherical button unit may be the vibration means. Specifically, for example, the special button 41 having a structure capable of vibrating the special button 41 installed on the right decorative body 32 of the front frame 23m may be a vibrating means. In other words, the device provided in the front frame may be the vibration means.

  Further, the first board movable device (the board movable device) having a structure capable of vibrating the on-board movable body 55k installed in the game board 1 may be a vibration means. Further, the second board movable device (bottom movable device) having a structure capable of vibrating the lower board movable body 56k installed in the game board 1 may be a vibration means. That is, the device provided on the game board may be the vibration means.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the display part 50a which consists of 3D liquid crystal displays was used as the display means. However, other than the 3D liquid crystal display, for example, a display unit 50a including a dot display, a 7-segment display, or the like may be the display unit. Further, a display device (display device) other than the display unit 50a, such as an LED lamp, may be the display means.

  In the first embodiment, the probability changing background image G105, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 during variation display, and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 during variation display are set as predetermined displays. However, only the background image, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, or only the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 may be displayed in a predetermined manner. Further, the background image and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 may be displayed in a predetermined manner. Further, the background image and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 may be displayed in a predetermined manner. In such a case, at least one of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 may be temporarily displayed.

  In addition, images and displays other than the probability changing background image G105, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 during variation display, and the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 during variation display may be predetermined displays. For example, the image or display used for the cut-in effect, the hold icon, the image or display used for the icon, or the image or display used for the prefetch effect may be a predetermined display.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, when the 1st production (1st vibration production) is performed, the vibration (horizontal direction random vibration) of the movable part 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 by the 1st vibration mechanism 320 is demonstrated. ) And the pitch-type vibration of the cover portion 210 of the hemispherical button unit 200 by the second vibration mechanism 330. However, when the first vibration effect is performed, a configuration in which only the visible vibration (horizontal random vibration) of the movable portion 220 of the hemispherical button unit 200 by the first vibration mechanism 320 may be generated. In addition, the configuration may be such that only the vertical vibration of the cover part 210 of the hemispherical button unit 200 by the second vibration mechanism 330 is generated. Moreover, when a 1st vibration effect is performed, the structure which vibrates a vibration means by vibration mechanisms other than the 1st vibration mechanism 320 and the 2nd vibration mechanism 330 may be sufficient.

  In the first embodiment, the display area HR (predetermined display area) is displayed so as to vibrate, and the probability changing background image G105 or the like (predetermined display) is displayed as vibrated. The effect was the second effect (second vibration effect). However, the display may be such that the predetermined display is vibrated by performing the display such that the predetermined display itself is vibrating without performing the display that the predetermined display area is vibrating. Further, it may be an effect of displaying a predetermined display as if it vibrates while vibrating the display unit 50a (display means) having a configuration that can vibrate.

  In the first embodiment, the jackpot gaming state is the advantageous gaming state, but a gaming state other than the jackpot gaming state, for example, a low probability high base gaming state, a high probability high base gaming state, a high probability low base gaming state. May be in an advantageous gaming state.

  In the first embodiment, the development effect in the second mode is an effect including the first effect (first vibration effect). However, the development effect in the second aspect may be an effect that does not include the first vibration effect. That is, in addition to the development effect in the fourth aspect, a gaming machine in which the first vibration effect is not executed may be used. In addition to the development effect in the second aspect and the development effect in the fourth aspect, a gaming machine capable of executing the first vibration effect may be used.

  Further, the development effect in the fifth aspect is an effect including the second effect (second vibration effect). However, the development effect in the fifth aspect may be an effect that does not include the second vibration effect. That is, in addition to the development effect in the fourth aspect, a gaming machine in which the second vibration effect is not executed may be used. In addition to the development effect in the fourth aspect and the development effect in the fifth aspect, a gaming machine capable of executing the second vibration effect may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the development effect in the fourth aspect is an effect including both the first effect (first vibration effect) and the second effect (second vibration effect). In other words, the development effect of the special figure variation effect that can be executed in a short time state is an effect including both the first effect (first vibration effect) and the second effect (second vibration effect). However, the development effect of the special figure variation effect that can be executed in a non-time-short state may be an effect including both the first vibration effect and the second vibration effect. In addition, among the special drawing variation effects, effects other than the development effects (normal variation, reach, N reach, SP reach, L reach, etc.) may be effects including both the first vibration effect and the second vibration effect.

  In addition, at least a part of the effects other than the special figure variation effect (customer waiting effect, hold effect, jackpot game effect, etc.) may be an effect including both the first vibration effect and the second vibration effect.

  In the first embodiment, the first effect (first vibration effect) and the second effect (second vibration effect) are both started in the development effect in the fourth aspect. However, the configuration may be such that the first vibration effect and the second vibration effect start with a time lag. Specifically, the execution of the first vibration effect may be started first, and the execution of the second vibration effect may be started while the first vibration effect is being executed. Alternatively, the second vibration effect may be executed first, and the first vibration effect may be started while the second vibration effect is being executed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the first effect (first vibration effect) is continuously executed after the execution of the second effect (second vibration effect) in the development effect in the fourth aspect. It was. However, the configuration may be such that the execution of the first vibration effect ends first, and then the execution of the second vibration effect ends. Moreover, the structure which also complete | finishes execution of a 2nd vibration effect with the completion | finish of execution of a 1st vibration effect may be sufficient.

  In the first embodiment, for the special figure 1, the total of the distribution ratios of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P01”, “P21” and “P22” is used as the distribution ratio of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P03”. On the contrary, the total value of the distribution rates of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P04”, “P23” and “P24” is made smaller than the distribution ratio value of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P06”. Therefore, the SP reach has a higher jackpot expectation than the N reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sum of the distribution ratios of the special figure variation patterns “P01”, “P21”, and “P22” is larger than the distribution ratio value of the special figure variation pattern “P03”. When it is larger, the total distribution ratio value of the special figure variation patterns “P04”, “P23” and “P24” may be equal to the distribution ratio value of the special figure variation pattern “P06”. Further, for example, when the total value of the distribution ratios of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P04”, “P23” and “P24” is smaller than the distribution ratio value of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P06”, the special figure fluctuation The sum of the distribution ratios of the patterns “P01”, “P21”, and “P22” may be equal to the distribution ratio value of the special figure variation pattern “P03”.

  Similarly, the special figure 2 is not limited to the above-described first embodiment. For example, the total value of the distribution ratios of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P51”, “P71”, and “P72” is the special figure. When it is larger than the distribution ratio value of the fluctuation pattern “P53”, the total value of the distribution ratios of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P54”, “P73”, and “P74” and the distribution of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P56”. The fraction value may be equal. Further, for example, when the total value of the distribution ratios of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P54”, “P73” and “P74” is smaller than the distribution ratio value of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P56”, the special figure fluctuation The total of the distribution ratios of the patterns “P51”, “P71”, and “P72” may be equal to the distribution ratio value of the special figure variation pattern “P53”.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the direction of the special figure change effect which shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the 2nd aspect further passes through those development effects rather than the development effect in the 3rd aspect. The special figure variation production which shifts to SP reach through the development production in the first mode is configured to have a higher jackpot expectation. However, it is not limited to this. For example, rather than undergoing the development effect in the first aspect or the development effect in the second aspect, the special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the third aspect has a higher jackpot expectation. It is good also as a high structure. Specifically, the special-fluctuation production effect that shifts to the SP reach through the development effect in the second mode is more third than the development effect in the first mode than the development production in the second mode. The special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to the SP reach through the development effect in the aspect may have a higher jackpot expectation. Also, for example, the special figure variation effect that shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the second mode is expected to be a big hit rather than the development effect in the first mode or the development effect in the third mode It is good also as a structure with high degree.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the special figure fluctuation effect which transfers to SP reach through the development effect in the 4th mode is more than the special figure change effect which shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the 5th mode. The configuration with a high expectation level for jackpots. However, the special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to SP reach through the development effect in the fifth aspect is higher in the jackpot expectation than the special figure fluctuation effect that shifts to the SP reach through the development effect in the fourth aspect. It is good.

  In the first embodiment, the so-called “first type” and “digital pachi” pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown as a gaming machine. However, the so-called “type 3” and “right property” pachinko machines, and the characteristics of the “type 1” pachinko gaming machine and the characteristics of the “type 2” pachinko gaming machine are so-called. It is good also as a pachinko game machine called "1 type 2 type mixing". Further, it may be a pachinko gaming machine called a “ST machine” in which the winning probability is controlled to a high probability state during the ST (special time) period.
