  However, in the conventional gaming machine, only one of the displayed holding displays is changed to another display. Therefore, the player is interested in only one of the suspended display objects, and has a problem of lacking interest.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine with a high level of playability that executes a novel and novel display effect of a holding display body.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with a symbol display unit capable of changing / determining the symbol and an effect display unit for performing various display effects. A control unit for controlling a display operation in the symbol display unit and the effect display unit, wherein the control unit obtains a numerical value from one or a plurality of random numbers based on satisfaction of a predetermined lottery condition. While storing up to a predetermined number of pieces of hold information, one piece of hold information is read from the hold information stored in a predetermined order, and at least the symbol fixed display mode and the symbol change time are determined based on the numerical value. In the gaming machine to be determined, the control means, with the storage of the hold information, a hold display body at a display position corresponding to the number of the hold information in the effect display unit On the other hand, upon reading the suspension information, the suspension display body corresponding to the suspension information to be read is moved to a predetermined digestion position in the effect display unit, or is moved in response to the movement to the digestion position. While changing to the digest display body to perform, while the hold display body corresponding to the hold information not read this time is moved to a new display position corresponding to the number thereof, a plurality of types of display bodies are used as the hold display body. When the hold information is stored, the type of the display body at each of the display positions is determined for the hold display body corresponding to the hold information, and when the first game condition is satisfied, Along with the movement of the suspended display to the new display position, a change from the display before moving the plurality of suspended displays to another display is performed to a predetermined sign display mode. When the second game condition is satisfied while the first game mode is changed in the first change mode, a plurality of the suspended display objects are temporarily displayed as the sign display with the movement of the suspended display body to the new display position. In this case, the display is not changed from the display body before the movement with the end of the indication display mode.

In addition, a symbol display unit capable of changing / determining symbols, a display unit for effecting various display effects, and a special prize unit having a movable member capable of opening and closing are provided. Control means for controlling an operation and a display operation in the symbol display section and the effect display section, and the control means acquires a numerical value from one or a plurality of random numbers based on satisfaction of a predetermined lottery condition. While the numerical values are stored as the hold information up to a predetermined number, one of the hold information is read out from the hold information stored in a predetermined order, and based on the numerical values, at least the symbol fixed display mode and the symbol change time And the symbol display is started to change in the symbol display section, and the symbol is determined and displayed in a predetermined fixed display mode as the variation time elapses. Further, based on the symbol being displayed in a special fixed display mode in a special fixed display mode, in the gaming machine for generating a special game state in which the special winning means is operated in a predetermined mode, And at least a second variation time shorter than the first variation time are set, and the control unit stores the suspension information, and stores the suspension information in the effect display unit with the storage of the suspension information. While adding a suspended display at a display position corresponding to a number, upon reading the suspended information, the suspended display corresponding to the suspended information to be read is moved to a predetermined digestion position in the effect display unit, or Changing to the digest display body corresponding to the movement to the digestion position, and displaying the hold display corresponding to the hold information not read this time. Is moved to a new display position corresponding to the number, while having a plurality of types of display objects as the hold display body, when storing the hold information, for the hold display body corresponding to the hold information, The type of the display at the display position is determined, and when a first game condition including that the fluctuation time is the first fluctuation time is satisfied, the new display of the suspended display is performed. Along with the movement to the position, the plurality of suspended display bodies are changed from the display body before the movement to another display body in a first change mode via a change to a predetermined sign display mode, and the change is performed. When the second game condition including that the time is the second fluctuation time is satisfied, the plurality of the pending display objects before moving are displayed with the movement of the pending display object to the new display position. From one display to another display, When the change is made in a second change mode that does not go through the change to the display mode, and when the third game condition including that the change time is the first change time is satisfied, the change of the hold display body is performed. A first configuration in which a plurality of the suspended display objects are temporarily set to the sign display mode with the movement to the new display position, but are not changed from the display body before the movement with the end of the sign display mode. Adoption is also conceivable.
Then, by adopting such a first configuration, there is a possibility that a plurality of the reserved display objects among the displayed reserved display objects may change. It is possible to experience an unprecedented gaming situation in which the body has changed to another type of display, and it is possible to achieve an effect that a gaming machine having unprecedented gaming properties can be provided.

Further, in the apparatus adopting the above-mentioned invention or the first configuration, the control means may be configured to control the display of at least one of the on-hold displays being displayed in accordance with a movement of a display position of the on-hold display. When the type of the body is changed, after the suspension display body is moved to the new display position, all of the suspension display bodies are set to the sign display mode, and the end of the sign display mode or the end of the sign display mode, It is also conceivable to employ a second configuration in which the suspended display object that has been changed is changed from the display object before moving to another display object.
Then, by adopting such a configuration, the reserved display object that is not the target of change has the same sign display mode as the reserved display object that is the target of change. Therefore, from the point of view of the player, it is not possible to determine which pending display object is the target of change at the time when the pending display object is in the sign display mode, and therefore, which pending display object is the target of change. It is also possible to obtain an effect that the player can play with interest. That is, it is possible to provide an effect that the gaming machine can provide a player with a novel game that cannot be experienced with a conventional gaming machine.

  According to the present invention, when the first game condition is satisfied, a plurality of suspended display objects are moved from the display body before the movement to another display body along with the movement of the suspended display body to a new display position. While the change is made in the first change mode via the change to the sign display mode, when the second game condition is satisfied, a plurality of the hold display objects are temporarily changed with the movement of the hold display to a new display position. Indicates the sign display mode, but does not change from the display body before the movement with the end of the sign display mode. In other words, among the displayed holding displays, there is a possibility that a plurality of the holding displays may change. Therefore, in the case of a player, the plurality of the holding displays change to another type of display. You will be able to experience a gaming situation that is not available. On the other hand, a game situation may occur in which, although a plurality of pending display objects are in the sign display mode, none of them has changed to another type of display object. Therefore, a gaming machine having unprecedented gaming properties can be provided.

Although not shown in FIG. 4, the main control board 31 is also connected to the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, and the like via the interface 35.

  The storage means 33 includes an a counter used for an open lottery for determining whether or not to open the tulip-type electric accessory 17, a c counter (a random number for a jackpot determination) used for a jackpot lottery, and a special symbol in the special symbol display section 61. And a plurality of e-counters (random number for determining fluctuating time information) mainly determining a basic fluctuating pattern that is a fluctuating time of a special symbol or a decorative symbol. Built-in counter. Each of the counters is a loop counter that performs a loop count while adding one by one in a very short time (eg, 2.000 ms per interrupt) according to a predetermined rule from the time of turning on the power. Obtaining the used numerical value can be regarded as obtaining a numerical value from a random number. The a counter is between 0 and 10 (11 patterns), the c counter is between 0 and 300 (301 patterns), the d counter is between 0 and 4 (5 patterns), and the e counter is between 0 and 4 (5 patterns). Loop counting is performed for each of 30 (31 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the a counter upon detection of the passage of the game ball through the gate member 20, and upon detection of the winning of the game ball into the start winning port 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 as a trigger. , C counter, d counter, and e counter, respectively, to obtain one numerical value (execute a jackpot lottery).

  Further, the storage means 33 includes a special symbol displayed on the special symbol display section 61, a fixed display mode determination table in which the numerical value of the d counter is associated with the fixed symbol display mode as shown in FIG. As shown, a basic fluctuation pattern determination table in which the values of the e-counter are associated with the basic fluctuation patterns is stored. The basic variation pattern mainly defines the variation time (time from the start of the variation to the final display) of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. Further, the storage means 33 stores, for example, a c counter associated with the prize when, for example, a game ball is awarded to the starting winning prize port 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 while the special symbol is being displayed while being changed in the special symbol display section 61. , D-counter, and e-counter as holding information, a holding information storage area for storing up to four (up to a total of eight) each of the starting winning port 19 and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 in a distinguished state. 36 are provided. In addition, the storage means 33 can shift and store the hold information stored in the hold information storage area 36 one by one, and execute a jackpot determination such as whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot. A jackpot determination storage area 37 is provided. Each time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and displayed, the hold information is stored in a predetermined order (in the pachinko machine 1, the hold information based on the winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is given to the winning winning opening 19). (It is prioritized over the original hold information) and sequentially transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37 and digested, and new hold information can be stored with the digestion.

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage means 43, a timer 44, an interface 45 and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 via the interface 45, and is also electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52. When the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal (such as various commands described later) related to the jackpot lottery from the main control board 31 as described later, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device according to the content thereof, and In order to control the operation of the member 15, the display operation of the decorative pattern on the effect display unit 6, the operation related to the change effect of the hold display that changes from the normal hold display 71 to the first special hold display 72, and the like. Has become.

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

Hereinafter, a basic game operation in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described.
First, in the pachinko machine 1, when a game ball wins in the starting winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the winning is detected by the main CPU 32 (in the present embodiment, the winning of the game ball in the starting winning opening 19). The predetermined lottery condition is satisfied by the detection by the main CPU 32). Then, the main CPU 32 pays out a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls as prize balls, acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter at the time of winning detection, and further stores the hold information. It is confirmed whether or not the number of the hold information stored in the storage area 36 has reached the maximum value. Then, if the number of the pending information has already reached the maximum value, the information is deleted without storing the numerical values obtained from the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter. On the other hand, if the maximum value has not been reached, the values obtained from the c counter, d counter, and e counter are stored in the hold information storage area 36, and the big hit determination table set for each game state is referred to. The numerical value acquired from the c counter this time is a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 100 ”in the normal jackpot determination table in the normal state, and“ 0 ”,“ 50 "," 100 "," 150 "," 200 "," 250 ", and" 300 ")" (that is, whether the jackpot lottery result is "big hit"). No), a special symbol fixed display mode based on the numerical value obtained from the d counter based on the determination result for the "big hit"("bighit" in the case of "big hit") Of type), and whether the basic variation pattern corresponding to the obtained value of the e counter being based on a determination result according to the "big hit" is what happens, once it determines as a pre determined beforehand than jackpot determination to be described later. Further, as a result of the preliminary determination, the main CPU 32 determines which one of the starting winning opening 19 and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is the hold information accompanying the winning and the order of the hold information. Is created and transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

  In addition, the main CPU 32 constantly checks whether the special symbol display section 61 is displaying the symbol in a variable manner or whether the symbol is fixedly displayed. When the symbol is fixedly displayed, the main CPU 32 checks the presence or absence of the hold information. If the hold information exists, the hold information having the highest priority to be digested (here, the hold information stored earlier) is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37, and the following jackpot determination is executed for the hold information. I do. That is, with reference to the jackpot determination table corresponding to the gaming state at the time when the hold information is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37, the numerical value obtained from the c counter related to the hold information is set to the predetermined “big hit value”. Is determined, that is, whether the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” or “miss”. When the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” (the numerical value obtained from the c counter is “big hit value”), the numerical value obtained from the d counter corresponds to the finalized display mode determination table shown in FIG. In addition to determining the final display mode of the special symbol, the basic variation pattern corresponding to the numerical value obtained from the e-counter is read using the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Determine the basic fluctuation pattern). On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “out” (the numerical value obtained from the c counter is a numerical value other than the “big hit value”), the numerical value obtained from the d counter is determined in the final display mode shown in FIG. In addition to determining the special symbol finalized display mode corresponding to the table, the basic variation pattern corresponding to the numerical value obtained from the e counter is read out using the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Determine the basic fluctuation pattern including the fluctuation time).

  After that, the main CPU 32 creates a start command including the result of the jackpot lottery (whether it is "big hit" or "losing"), the fixed symbol display mode, and information indicating the type of the read basic variation pattern. At the same time, the start command is transmitted to the sub integrated CPU 42. In addition, the special symbol is changed in the special symbol display section 61 in a predetermined manner, and the timer 34 starts counting time. When the fluctuation time of the symbol according to the read basic fluctuation pattern elapses, the special symbol is fixedly displayed in the fixed display mode based on the numerical value obtained from the d counter based on the jackpot lottery result, and the stop signal is displayed. Is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. In addition, as for the special symbol to be confirmed and displayed, for example, when the result of the jackpot lottery is “big hit” and the numerical value obtained from the d counter is “0” to “2”, it is set as “probable changing big hit”. In the special jackpot special symbol finalized display mode (special finalized display mode) “7”, if “big hit” and the numerical value obtained from the d counter is “3” or “4”, “ Each of the non-specified variable jackpots is determined and displayed by a non-specified jackpot special symbol finalized display mode (special finalized display mode) “2”. On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “outside”, the outage is confirmed and displayed in the outage confirmation display mode “−”.

  Further, if the result of the jackpot lottery is "big hit", the main CPU 32 displays a start display for notifying the start of the special jackpot state which is a special game state after the final display of the special symbol in a special final display mode, and a big win. When a jackpot state consisting of an intermittent opening of the device 18 for a predetermined number of times and an end demonstration for notifying the end of the jackpot state is generated, and a game ball wins in the opened big winning device 18, the start winning opening 19 and a tulip-type electric motor are activated. More game balls (for example, 10 balls) are paid out as prize balls as compared with the case where the winning item 17 is won.

Further, when the jackpot state generated due to the “probable change jackpot” ends, the main CPU 32 determines that the result of the jackpot lottery in the next jackpot determination after the jackpot state ends is “big hit” (depending on the type). Until the above, the probability of the jackpot lottery result to be "big hit" causes a high probability state as improved as described above, and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is easily opened and the tulip-type electric accessory is easily opened. 17 causes a support state to be open for a long time.
On the other hand, when the jackpot state generated due to the “non-probable change jackpot” ends, only after the jackpot state ends and the special symbol is displayed a specific number of times (for example, 100 times), The tulip-type electric accessory 17 is likely to be in the open state, and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is in the open state for a long time. The matter "until the result of the jackpot lottery becomes" big jackpot "in the next jackpot determination" may be realized, for example, by setting the specific number to 10,000.

  The opening and closing operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is also controlled by the main CPU 32, and when a game ball passes through the gate member 20, the passage is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 obtains one numerical value from the a counter at the timing of passage detection (performs an open lottery), and sets the numerical value obtained from the a counter to a predetermined “open numerical value (for example, if a support state has occurred). 10 if "0" to "9", and if there is no support state, only one "0") is determined.) When the numerical value obtained from the counter a is “open numerical value”, that is, when the result of the open lottery is “winning”, the tulip-type electric auditors product 17 is operated from the closed state to the open state in a predetermined mode. At this time, when the support state occurs, a special opening operation such as a mode in which the open state is intermittently repeated three times for a longer time (two seconds) than when the support state does not occur, for example. The tulip-type electric accessory 17 is operated in the mode. If the support state is not generated, the tulip is opened in a normal opening operation mode such that the open state is performed for a shorter time (0.2 seconds) and only once than when the support state is generated. The electric powered accessory 17 is operated. On the other hand, if the numerical value obtained from the a counter is not “open numerical value”, that is, if the result of the open lottery is “missing”, the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is not operated in the closed state. Also, when the game ball passes through the gate member 20 during operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 or the like, the value of the a counter acquired at the passage timing is stored in the storage means 33 up to a predetermined number, similarly to the above-mentioned hold information. In addition, each time the operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is completed, the result of the open lottery is checked in the stored order.

  On the other hand, upon receiving the schedule information, the sub-integrated CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47 and displays the type of hold display (for example, the normal hold display 71) determined on the display unit 6 as described later. I do. In addition, when the start command is received, if the hold display is displayed on the effect display unit 6, the hold display corresponding to the received start command is erased from the effect display unit 6 in a predetermined display mode. At the same time, the schedule information corresponding to the start command is read from the schedule information storage area 47, and the control related to the schedule information described below is executed. Furthermore, the display mode of the decorative symbol to be finally determined and displayed is determined according to the information on the result of the jackpot lottery included in the start command and the determined display mode of the special symbol, and the information on the basic variation pattern is determined. The corresponding detailed variation pattern is read from the variation pattern storage area 46, and while the timer 44 measures the time, the decorative symbol on the effect display unit 6 is displayed in a variable manner in accordance with the read detailed variation pattern. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the decorative design is displayed on the effect display unit 6 in the determined display mode. That is, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “probable jackpot”, a special jackpot decoration pattern display mode in which three identical special decoration symbols are arranged (for example, “7.7.7” or “3.3.3”). When the result of the jackpot lottery is “non-probable variable jackpot”, a non-specific jackpot decoration symbol display mode (for example, “2.2.2” or “2.2.2”, in which three identical decoration symbols other than the special decoration symbol are arranged) is displayed. 4.4.4 ”) to confirm and display. When the result of the jackpot lottery is “losing”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is definitely displayed in a different decorative symbol display mode (for example, “1.2.3”) different from the other two decorative symbols. Let it. The read schedule information is deleted from the schedule information storage area 47.

  In addition, in generating the jackpot state, for example, during the start demonstration, the sub-integrated CPU 42 notifies the start of the jackpot state using the staging display unit 6, and when the opening of the big prize winning device 18 is started, The display effect on the effect display unit 6 corresponding to the type of “big hit” or the like is read from the storage unit 43, and the display operation on the effect display unit 6 is controlled. Also, when the end demonstration is reached, the effect display unit 6 is used to notify the player that the big hit state is ended or the like.

  Here, the game played by the player on the pachinko machine 1 will be described according to a general flow. The player starts the game from a normal state in which no support state has occurred, and the handle 9 is turned. Then, the launching device 10 is operated, and the game ball is driven into the game area 16 through the launch passage 13, and first, the aim is to win the game ball into the starting winning opening 19. Then, the result of the jackpot lottery by the winning game balls becomes “big hit”, and when a jackpot state occurs, the game ball is aimed at the big winning device 18 which is opened intermittently. Also, after the jackpot state ends, while the support state is occurring, the game ball passes through the gate member 20 and the game ball to the tulip-type electric accessory 17 that is frequently opened in the support state. Aim for winning. And, after the end of the jackpot state that occurred due to the "non-probable jackpot", if the number of confirmed and displayed special symbols reaches a specific number of times without the result of the jackpot lottery becoming "jackpot", the support state will end, The game returns to the game aiming for the winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening 19 again.

(Explanation of the change effect of the pending display body)
Here, a description will be given, with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the effect display unit 6. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the scenario. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the correspondence between the numerical value of the f counter and the type of scenario. FIG. 11 is a flowchart for setting a scenario. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating the execution of the change effect.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 generates the hold information accompanying the winning in the starting winning opening 19 (that is, receives the schedule information resulting from the winning in the starting winning opening 19), the sub-integrated CPU 42 displays for the effect. One additional holding display (for example, a normal holding display 71 or a first special holding display 72) is additionally displayed in the lower left portion of the unit 6. In the additional display of the reserved display body, if no reserved display body is displayed (that is, there is no reserved information related to winning in the starting winning opening 19), the reserved display body is placed at the first display position P1 closest to the center. When one display body is displayed (that is, one piece of suspension information relating to winning in the starting winning opening 19 already exists), the suspension display body is displayed at the second display position P2 on the left of the first display position P1. When two pieces of information are displayed (that is, two pieces of hold information related to winning in the start winning port 19 already exist), three pieces of the hold display body are displayed at the third display position P3 on the left of the second display position P2. (That is, there are already three pieces of hold information relating to winning in the start winning port 19), and additional display of the hold display body at the fourth display position P4 on the left of the third display position P3. Become.

  On the other hand, when the hold information accompanying the winning in the tulip-type electric auditors character 17 is generated (that is, when the schedule information resulting from the winning in the tulip-type electric auditors character 17 is received), the lower right of the staging display unit 6 is displayed. One additional special hold indicator is displayed. In the additional display of the special hold display body, if no special hold display body is displayed at the first special display position Q1 closest to the center if no special hold display body is displayed, the first special hold display body is displayed. If two special hold indicators are displayed at the second special display position Q2 on the right of the display position Q1, three special hold indicators are located at the third special display position Q3 on the right of the second display position Q2. When one is displayed, a special hold display body is additionally displayed at the fourth special display position Q4 on the right of the third display position Q3.

  In addition, a digestion display area 65 is formed in the lower center of the effect display section 6, and when a start command is received, a hold display at the first display position P1 (or a special hold display at the first special display position Q1). After the body is moved to the digestion display area 65, it is erased in a predetermined display manner in the digestion display area 65 (the reserved display body is digested). Further, at this time, one of the reserved display bodies (or special reserved display bodies) which are not digested at this time is displayed one at the center side with the movement of the reserved reserved substance (or special reserved display body) to be digested to the digest display area 65. The position is moved (for example, when the reserved display is exhausted, the reserved display at the second display position or the third display position is moved to the first display position or the second display position, respectively). In addition, various hold display bodies and special hold display bodies, a display mode related to the movement of the display position, a display mode related to digestion, and the like are stored in a hold effect storage area 48 provided in the storage unit 43 of the sub-control device 40. It is remembered. Reference numeral 66 denotes a decorative pattern that is changed / confirmed in the effect display unit 6.

  When various conditions described later are satisfied in the normal state, the pachinko machine 1 changes the holding display from the normal holding display 71 to the first special holding display 72 or the like on the effect display unit 6. A change effect of the display body is executed. The special character 76 used for the change effect of the suspended display, the moving image data of the suspended display, and the like are also stored in the suspended effect storage area 48. Whether or not to change the hold display body displayed on the display unit 6 for effect, and which change effect causes the hold display body to change is determined by acquiring a numerical value from a random number similar to a jackpot lottery. The storage means 43 has an f-counter (random number for change pattern determination) for loop-counting between 0 and 99 (100 patterns) at high speed, as well as a c-counter and the like used for jackpot lottery. A g counter (random number for special effect determination) for loop counting between 0 to 9 (10 types) is built in. Further, a plurality of types of scenarios (change patterns) for changing the hold indicator as shown in FIG. 9 and a scenario determination table as shown in FIG. 10 are also stored in the hold effect storage area 48 of the storage unit 43. Have been.

  First, the control for determining the scenario of the change effect of the suspended display will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the schedule information is received from the main CPU 32 in the normal state, the sub-integrated CPU 42 checks whether or not the schedule information received this time is based on winning in the starting winning opening 19 (S1). As a result, if the received schedule information is based on the winning in the starting winning opening 19 (determined as YES in S1), one numerical value is obtained from the f counter, that is, a scenario lottery is executed (S2). When the scenario lottery is executed, the obtained numerical value from the f counter is made to correspond to the scenario determination table shown in FIG. 10 based on the content of the schedule information received this time, and the obtained numerical value corresponds to the scenario 1 to the scenario 7. It is determined whether or not the set value is reached, that is, whether or not the scenario lottery is won is determined (S3). As a result, if the numerical value obtained from the f counter is the scenario setting numerical value corresponding to scenario 1 to scenario 7, it is determined that the scenario lottery is won (YES in S3), and the scenario corresponding to the numerical value obtained is The schedule information is set in association with the received schedule information (S4), and the control for determining the scenario according to the reception of the current schedule information ends. On the other hand, if the received schedule information is based on the winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (determined as NO in S1), it waits for reception of the next schedule information without executing the scenario lottery. If the scenario lottery has been executed but has not been won (determined as NO in S3), it waits for reception of the next schedule information without setting a scenario.

Here, the content of each set scenario will be described in detail.
Scenario 1 is that while the hold display body additionally displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at any of the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4, the hold display body is displayed as a white circular normal. When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 as the hold information is consumed, the main display of the hold display body is normally moved. The content is changed from the hold display 71 to the first special hold display 72. The first special hold display 72 has the same shape as the normal hold display 71, but has a blue color. When scenario 1 is set in the received schedule information and the additional display corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1, the first special display is used instead of the normal hold display 71. The suspended display 72 is additionally displayed directly (that is, the special character 76 described later is not used).

  Scenario 2 is that while the hold display body additionally displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at either the third display position P3 or the fourth display position P4, the hold display body is displayed as the normal hold display body. When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the third display position P3 to the first display position P2 as the hold information is consumed, the type of the hold display body is changed to the normal hold display body 71 after the movement. From the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 as the display position of the first special reservation display member 72 is changed from the second display position P2 with further digestion of the reservation information. The content is displayed as it is as the special hold display body 72. In the case where scenario 2 is set in the received schedule information and the additional display corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1 or the second display position P2, the normal suspension display The first special hold display body 72 is additionally displayed directly instead of 71.

  Scenario 3 is a case where the hold display is additionally displayed at any of the first display position P1 to the fourth display position P4 corresponding to the received schedule information, and the first special hold display 72 is used instead of the normal hold display 71. Is directly added and displayed, and is displayed as the first special hold display body 72 until it is moved to the digestion display area 65.

  Scenario 4 displays the pending display as a normal pending display 71 while the pending display added and displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at the fourth display position P4, and digests the pending information. When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the fourth display position P4 to the third display position P3 in accordance with the above, the type of the hold display body changes from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72 after the movement. Then, after moving from the third display position P2 to the second display position P2, the first special hold display body 72 is displayed as it is, and the display position of the first special hold display body 72 is changed with further use of the hold information. When the display is moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1, the type of the hold display is further changed from the first special hold display 72 to the second special hold display 73 after the movement. The second special hold display 72 has the same shape as the normal hold display 71, but is colored red. When scenario 4 is set in the received schedule information and the additional display corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1, the second special display is used instead of the normal hold display 71. When the hold display 73 is additionally displayed at the second display position P2 or the third display position P3, the first special hold display 72 instead of the normal hold display 71 is directly added.

  Scenario 5 is that while the hold display body additionally displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at any of the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4, the hold display body is displayed as the normal hold display body. When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 as the hold information is consumed, the type of the hold display body is changed to the normal hold display body 71 after the movement. To the second special hold display 73. When scenario 5 is set in the received schedule information and the additional display corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1, the second special display is used instead of the normal hold display 71. The suspended display 73 is additionally displayed directly.

  Scenario 6 is to display the additional display at any one of the third display position P3 and the fourth display position P4 in response to the received schedule information. When the display position of the first special hold display body 72 is moved from the third display position P3 to the second display position P2 as the hold information is exhausted, the type of the hold display body is changed to the first special hold display body after the movement. The reserved display body 72 is changed to the second special reserved display body 73, and the display position of the second special reserved display body 73 is moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 with further digestion of the reserved information. After that, the second special hold display 73 is displayed as it is. When the scenario 6 is set in the received schedule information and the additional display is added to the first display position P1 or the second display position P2 when the suspension display corresponding to the schedule information is added, the normal suspension display A second special hold display 73 is additionally displayed directly instead of 71.

In the scenario 7, when the additional display of the hold display is performed at any one of the first display position P1 to the fourth display position P4 in accordance with the received schedule information, the second special hold display 73 is used instead of the normal hold display 71. Are directly added and displayed, and are displayed as the second special hold display 73 until the display is moved to the digest display area 65.
In addition, as for the suspended display corresponding to the schedule information in which none of the scenarios 1 to 7 is set, the suspended display is changed to any of the first display position P1 to the fourth display position P4 in accordance with the received schedule information. When the additional display is performed, the normal hold display body 71 is additionally displayed, and the normal hold display body 71 is displayed as it is until the display is moved to the digest display area 65.

  Further, the scenario selection will be described in detail. If the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “missing”, and the basic fluctuation pattern is one of the basic fluctuation pattern A1 and the basic fluctuation pattern A2. , The scenario 1 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “90” to “94”, and the scenario 2 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “95” to “99”. On the other hand, if the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “0” to “89”, no scenario is set. Further, if the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “out” and the basic variation pattern is the basic variation pattern B, the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any one of “85” to “89”. And the scenario 1 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “90” to “94”, and the scenario 1 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “95” to “99”. If there is, the scenario 3 is set, and if the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “0” to “84”, the scenario is not set. Furthermore, when the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “out” and the basic variation pattern is the basic variation pattern C, the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any one of “80” to “84”. And the scenario 1 when the numerical value obtained from the f-counter is any of “85” to “89”, and the scenario 1 when the numerical value obtained from the f-counter is any of “90” to “94”.

Is set to "99", while the scenario is not set if the obtained value from the f counter is any of "0" to "79". In addition, if the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “out” and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern D, the numerical value obtained from the f counter is “50” to “59”. Scenario 1 when the numerical value obtained from the f-counter is any of "60" to "69", and scenario 2 when the numerical value obtained from the f-counter is any of "70" to "79". Scenario 4 when the numerical value obtained from the f-counter is any of "80" to "84", and Scenario 5 when the numerical value obtained from the f-counter is any of "85" to "89". , The scenario 6 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “90” to “94”, and the scenario 7 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “95” to “99”. While reading from the f counter. Value is not set scenario If it is either "0" to "49".

  On the other hand, when the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “big hit” and the basic variation pattern is the basic variation pattern B, the numerical value obtained from the f counter is “60” to “64”. Scenario 1 is Scenario 2 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “65” to “69”, and Scenario 3 is that the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “70” to “74”. Scenario 4 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “75” to “84”, Scenario 5 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “85” to “94”, Scenario 6 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "95" to "97", and scenario 7 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "98" or "99". On the other hand, reading from the f counter The number is not set the scenario and is one of the "0" to "59". When the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “big hit” and the basic variation pattern is the basic variation pattern C, the numerical value obtained from the f counter is “50” to “54”. Scenario 1 is scenario 2 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "55" to "59", and scenario 3 is that the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "60" to "64". Scenario 4 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “65” to “74”, Scenario 5 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “75” to “84”, Scenario 6 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "85" to "94", and scenario 7 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "95" to "99". On the other hand, reading from the f counter Value is not set scenario If it is either "0" to "49". Further, if the result of the jackpot lottery relating to the schedule information received this time is “big hit” and the basic variation pattern is the basic variation pattern D, the numerical value obtained from the f counter is “30” to “34”. Scenario 1 is Scenario 2 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “35” to “39”, and Scenario 3 is that the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “40” to “44”. Scenario 4 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “45” to “54”, Scenario 5 when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of “55” to “64”, Scenario 6 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "65" to "79", and scenario 7 is set when the numerical value obtained from the f counter is any of "80" to "99". On the other hand, from the f counter The resulting value is "0" to "29" not set is the scenario in either.

  As described above, when the scenario lottery executed in response to the reception of the schedule information is won and one of the scenarios 1 to 7 is set, the normal hold display is performed until the schedule information is consumed. The body 71 changes to a first special hold display 72 or a second special hold display 73, or a first special hold display 72 or a second special hold display 73 instead of the normal hold display 71 is additionally displayed. Such a change effect of the hold display body is executed.

  Next, the control related to the execution of the change effect on the effect display unit 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12. When the sub integrated CPU 42 receives the start command from the main CPU 32 in the normal state, the sub integrated CPU 42 It is confirmed whether or not the command is based on the winning in the winning opening 19 (S11). As a result, if the received start command is based on the winning in the start winning opening 19 (determined as YES in S11), the suspended display body displayed at the first display position P1 is moved to the digest display area 65. Then, each of the suspended display objects displayed at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 is moved to the right next display position, and the schedule information stored in the schedule information storage area 47 is referred to. Then, it is confirmed whether or not there is schedule information for changing the suspended display body at the current display position (display position after moving) (S12). As a result, when there is schedule information for changing the suspended display object (determined as YES in S12), the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is the basic fluctuation pattern A1 in which the fluctuation time of the symbol is shorter than the predetermined time. Is determined (S13). If the basic variation pattern related to the start command received this time is not the basic variation pattern A1, that is, any one of the basic variation patterns A2 and BD (determined NO in S13), the special character 76 is used. The first change effect is performed (S14), and the corresponding normal hold display 71 or first special hold display 72 is changed to the first special hold display 72 or the second special hold display 73. In the first change effect, the special characters 76 are moved from left to right along the lower edge of the effect display section 6 along with the start of the change of the decorative patterns 66, 66. , 66... Are displayed at the first display position P <b> 1 to the third display position P <b> 3 at the start of the change at a timing when the special character 76 comes into contact with the reserved display body, and after a predetermined time, a predetermined display mode is set. It stops when the special time (a time sufficiently shorter than the fluctuation time of the symbol) elapses. Then, during the rotation display or with the stop, the normal hold display body 71 or the first special hold display body 72 to be changed this time is changed to the first special hold display body 72 or the second special hold display body 73. In addition, with respect to the holding display body that is not changed this time, the same holding display body as before rotation display is displayed with the stop. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the start command received in the normal state is based on winning in the starting winning opening 19, and there is schedule information for changing the type of the suspended display at the current display position. In executing the change effect, the predetermined effect condition is satisfied when the basic change pattern related to the received start command is not the basic change pattern A1. Further, even if a new normal hold display body 71 is additionally displayed immediately after the start of the change, the normally additionally displayed normal hold display body 71 is not set as a sign display mode.

  On the other hand, if the basic variation pattern related to the start command received this time is the basic variation pattern A1 (determined as YES in S13), the second variation effect without using the special character 76 is executed (S15), and the corresponding normal hold is performed. The display 71 or the first special hold display 72 is changed to the first special hold display 72 or the second special hold display 73. In the second change effect, the normal holding display body 71 or the first special holding display is performed without displaying the special character 76 and rotating the holding display body as described above with the start of the change of the decorative pattern. The body 72 is changed to a first special hold display body 72 or a second special hold display body 73.

  Also, as a result of the confirmation in S12, when it is determined that there is no schedule information for changing the suspended display object (NO in S12), the basic variation pattern related to the start command received this time is the basic variation pattern A1. It is determined whether or not there is (S16). If the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1 (determined as NO in S16), one numerical value is obtained from the g counter, that is, a special character lottery is executed (S17). When the special character lottery is executed, it is checked whether or not the obtained numerical value is “0 (special numerical value)”, that is, it is determined whether or not the special character lottery is won (S18). Then, when the numerical value obtained from the g counter is “0” and the special character lottery is won (determined as YES in S18), a special character effect using the special character 76 is executed (S19). In the special character effect, as with the first change effect, the special character 76 is moved from left to right along the lower edge of the effect display unit 6 with the start of the change of the decorative patterns 66, 66,. At the same time, after the reserved display body displayed at the first display position P1 to the third display position P3 is rotated and displayed at the timing when the special character 76 comes into contact, the display is stopped with the passage of a predetermined special time. is there. However, none of the holding indicators are changed, and the same holding indicator as before rotation is displayed after the stop.

  Then, with the execution of the first change effect, the second change effect, and the special character effect, the control related to the execution of the change effect according to the reception of the current start command is ended. Further, the received start command may be based on winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (determined as NO in S1), or there is no pending display body to be changed this time, and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern A1. If there is any (determined YES in S16) or not won in the special character lottery (determined NO in S18), the next start command is received without executing the change effect or the special character effect Wait for.

  Here, the change effect of the above-mentioned hold display body will be described along the flow of an actual game based on FIGS. 13 to 16. First, in a state in which three reserved display elements M1 to M3 (all the regular reserved display elements 71) are displayed at the first display position P1 to the third display position P3 (that is, three pieces of schedule information are stored) ( 13A), when a game ball newly wins in the starting winning opening 19 during the variation display of the decorative symbols 66, 66,..., The schedule information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub integrated CPU 42 due to the winning. You. The sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the scenario lottery under the control as described above upon receiving the schedule information, and it is assumed that the scenario 4 is set here. Accordingly, the sub-integrated CPU 42 additionally displays the normal suspension display body 71 as the suspension display body M4 at the fourth display position P4 according to the scenario 4 (FIG. 13B). When the decorative symbols 66, 66,... Are confirmed and displayed upon receipt of the stop command (FIG. 13 (c)), upon receipt of the next start command, the suspended display body M1 displayed at the first display position P1 is displayed. The suspended display objects M2 to M4 displayed at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the digestion display area 65 to the first display position P1 to the third display position P3, respectively. Start the fluctuation of 66 ... Further, according to the scenario 4, since the hold display M4 moved to the third display position P3 is changed from the normal hold display 71 to the first special hold display 72, the change is performed under the control as described above. Decide which change effect to use for the effect. Here, it is assumed that the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern A1. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 selects the second change effect, and changes the hold display M4 moved to the third display position P3 from the normal hold display 71 to the first special hold display without causing the special character 76 or the like to appear. 72 (FIG. 14A).

  Further, when a game ball newly wins in the starting winning opening 19 during the variation display of the decorative symbols 66, 66,..., The schedule information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub integrated CPU 42 due to the winning. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the scenario lottery upon receiving the schedule information, and here, it is assumed that the scenario 6 is set. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 additionally displays the first special hold display body 72 as the hold display body M5 at the fourth display position P4 according to the scenario 6 (FIG. 14B). When the decorative symbols 66, 66,... Are confirmed and displayed upon receipt of the stop command (FIG. 14 (c)), upon receipt of the next start command, the suspended display body M2 displayed at the first display position P1 is displayed. The suspended display objects M3 to M5 displayed at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the digest display region 65 to the first display position P1 to the third display position P3, respectively. Start the fluctuation of 66 ... Further, when a game ball wins in the start winning opening 19 during the fluctuation display, the schedule information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub integrated CPU 42 due to the win. Then, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the scenario lottery upon receiving the schedule information, and here, it is assumed that the scenario 1 is set. Then, the sub-integrated CPU 42 additionally displays the normal suspension display body 71 as the suspension display body M6 at the fourth display position P4 according to the scenario 1 (FIG. 15A).

When the decoration symbols 66, 66,... Are confirmed and displayed upon receipt of the stop command (FIG. 15B), upon receipt of the next start command, the suspended display body M3 displayed at the first display position P1 is displayed. The suspended display objects M4 to M6 displayed at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the digestion display area 65 to the first display position P1 to the third display position P3, respectively, and the decorative symbols 66, The fluctuation of 66... Is started (FIG. 15C). At this time, according to the scenario 4, the hold display M4 moved to the first display position P1 is changed from the first special hold display 72 to the second special hold display 73, and according to the scenario 6, the hold display M2 moves to the second display position P2. Since the moved hold display body M5 is changed from the first special hold display body 72 to the second special hold display body 73, it is determined under the control described above which change effect the change effect is to be. . Here, it is assumed that the basic fluctuation pattern is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 selects the first change effect, moves the special character 76 along the lower edge of the effect display unit 6 from left to right, and displays the first display position P1 to the third display position. The hold display bodies M4 to M6 displayed at the position P3 are rotated and displayed at the timing when the special character 76 comes into contact (FIG. 16A). Thereafter, when a predetermined special time elapses, the hold display members M4 to M6 are stopped, and at that time, the hold display members M4 and M5 are changed from the first special hold display member 72 to the second special hold display member 73 (FIG. 16 (b)). Further, the hold display M6 is changed at the first display position P1 and is not changed at the third display position P3. Therefore, even after the stop, it is displayed as the same normal hold display 71 as before rotation.
Thereafter, similarly, the display symbols M4, M5, and M6 are moved to the digestion display area 65 in the same order, and the decoration symbols 66, 66,... When the display symbols M6 are moved to the first display position P1. During the fluctuation display, the game progresses in a flow of changing the normal hold display 71 to the first special hold display 72 by the first change effect or the second change effect.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described configuration, when the predetermined effect condition is satisfied, all the holding display bodies displayed on the effect display unit 6 at the start of the change of the decorative symbols 66, 66,. In addition to the rotation display, a first change effect is performed in which only the hold display object that is a target of change determined in advance in the scenario is changed to the hold display body of a different type from that before rotation display during rotation display or stop. . Therefore, as compared with the related art in which the effect is performed only for the changed holding display object, the player can play a game with interest as to which holding display body changes. That is, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high playability that can provide the player with a novel game that cannot be experienced with the conventional pachinko machine.

  In addition, even if there is no pending display object to be changed, if the fluctuation time of the symbol is longer than a predetermined time by referring to the start command, the special character lottery is executed, and when the special character lottery is won, the effect display is performed. A special character effect of rotating and displaying the hold display body displayed on the unit 6 is executed. That is, even if there is no pending display object to be changed, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, an effect is performed in which the display modes of all displayed pending display objects are set to the indication display mode. Therefore, the manner of changing the type of the hold display body when the hold display body is rotated and displayed is further complicated, and it is possible to further improve the playability.

  Further, the start command received in the normal state is based on winning in the starting winning opening 19, and there is a plurality of pieces of schedule information for changing the type of the hold display body at the current display position, and a change effect is executed. In doing so, when a predetermined game condition is satisfied such that the basic fluctuation pattern related to the received start command is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1, the types of the plurality of suspended display objects change at once. Therefore, for the player, it is possible to experience an unprecedented gaming situation in which a plurality of pending display objects have changed to another type of display object. Then, when the type of the reserved display body is changed from the normal reserved display body 71 to the first special reserved display body 72 or the second special reserved display body 73, there is a possibility that a big hit state occurs when the reserved display body is digested. As a result, the player can play the game while expecting the result of the jackpot lottery with respect to the plurality of pieces of hold information. Therefore, it is possible to provide a novel gaming property that is not provided in a conventional gaming machine that has been expected only for one piece of hold information.

(About the modified example of the present invention)
Note that the configuration of the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment at all. Can be appropriately changed as needed without departing from the range.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, three types of hold indicators, that is, a normal hold indicator, a first special hold indicator, and a second special hold indicator, are used as the hold indicators, but two types may be used. There is no problem even if four or more types of hold indicators are used. Further, in the above-described embodiment, only the color is different between the first special hold display or the second special hold display and the normal hold display, but at least one of the color, the shape, and the size is different. I just need.
Further, in the above embodiment, only four types of basic variation patterns A to D are set, but there is no problem even if four or more types of basic variation patterns are set. The storage means may be stored, or conversely, only six or less types of scenarios may be stored, and the content of each scenario may be changed as appropriate.

Furthermore, the correspondence between the numerical value obtained from the f-counter and the scenario determination table is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the correspondence between the numerical value of the f-counter and each scenario is different, or the content of the scenario is different. There is no problem even if a plurality of different scenario determination tables are set in advance and the corresponding scenario determination tables are made different according to the number of suspension information (schedule information).
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the display mode of the hold display body is set to the indication display mode such as the rotation display, the special display body is made to appear, but the display mode of the hold display body without making the special display body appear. May be used as the indication display mode. In addition, a display mode other than the rotation display (for example, blinking, expanding / contracting, moving up / down / left / right, etc.) can be naturally adopted as the sign display mode.

As for the sign display mode, a different sign display mode may be set for each type of the hold display body (for example, depending on whether the normal hold display body rotates and the first special hold display body rotates). There is no problem even if a plurality of patterns of a sign display mode with a high degree of expectation and a sign display mode with a low expectation that change are set.
In addition, it is needless to say that it is possible to appropriately change what condition is satisfied to set the suspended display body to the sign display mode, that is, the contents of the game condition and the effect condition. In the case where the basic fluctuation pattern is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1, the sign lottery is executed, and only when the sign lottery is won, the reserved display body is set to the sign display mode or a special display body is made to appear. Is also conceivable.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the change pattern of the hold display body and the change effect to be changed are determined separately. However, the content of which change effect to change by each scenario may be incorporated in each scenario.
In performing the scenario lottery, the contents of the schedule information already stored are checked. For example, if the result of the jackpot lottery is “spot”, the scenario lottery is not executed. It is also possible to set some conditions for the execution of.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, two types of change effects, that is, a first change effect that displays a special character and a second change effect that does not display a special character, are executed as the change effects of the hold display body. However, for example, a change effect in which the movement of the special character is different, a change effect in which another special character is displayed, or the like may be executed. Then, which change effect is to be executed may be determined by lottery as in the above embodiment.
Furthermore, when a plurality of suspended display objects are changed by a single change effect, a specific change effect to be selected and executed may be set. It should be noted that just because a specific change effect is executed does not necessarily mean that a plurality of pending display objects are changed at one time. A specific change effect is selected and executed. And, when such a specific change effect is set, when the specific change effect is executed, the player can expect a plurality of changes in the display on hold, thereby further improving the interest of the player. Can be.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the scenario is determined based on the basic change pattern included in the schedule information. However, in general, the change time of the symbol changes according to the number of the hold information and the like, and the big hit is determined. It is naturally possible to determine the scenario based on information relating to the fluctuation time of the symbol, instead of the basic fluctuation pattern itself.
Furthermore, the timing at which the change effect of the suspended display is performed may be between the start of the change of the decorative symbol and the final display, and may be limited to immediately after the start of the change of the decorative symbol in the above embodiment. Absent.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the change effect of the hold display body is performed only for the hold display body for winning the winning winning opening, but the hold display body for the win display for the tulip-type electric auditorium is displayed. The change effect may be executed, or the change effect of the suspended display may be executed in the support state.
In addition, the indication of the indication to be displayed or the type of the display to be changed may be changed depending on the game state. For example, in the normal state, the sign display mode or the type is changed only for the hold display body corresponding to the winning in the starting winning opening, while in the support state, the hold display body according to the win for the tulip-type electric accessory (see above). It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the sign display mode or the type is changed only for the special holding display body described in the embodiment.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the hold display body at the first display position is moved to the digestion position as it is, but may be enlarged or reduced when moved to the digestion position, for example. Separately set the digest indicator that corresponds to the hold indicator and the digest indicator that corresponds to the special hold indicator, and change from the normal hold indicator to the digest indicator that corresponds to the normal hold indicator when moving to the digest position It may be done.

Further, in the above embodiment, the start command and the stop command are transmitted from the main control device to the sub control device. However, the stop command is not transmitted by using a timer of the sub control device. There is no problem at all.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the control is performed by dividing the control into two control devices of the main control device and the sub-control device. However, the control may be performed by one main control device. There is no problem even if a special display body, a scenario, an f counter, a g counter, etc. are provided in the storage means of the control device. When controlling with one main control device, it is not necessary to create a start command, schedule information, and the like. Absent. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the pachinko machine uses two kinds of symbols, a special symbol and a decorative symbol. However, a pachinko machine using only special symbols may be used. It may be provided at other positions such as in a game area, a center member, or the like. In addition, with respect to the basic fluctuation pattern determination table, a plurality of types of basic fluctuation pattern determination tables having different correspondences with the numerical value of the e-counter and different contents of the basic fluctuation pattern are set, and are made to correspond according to the number of pending information and the game state. Of course, it is also possible to configure so that the basic variation pattern determination tables are different.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the value is acquired from the three counters of the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter as the jackpot lottery. However, it is possible to deal with only one counter. Alternatively, it is of course possible to obtain a numerical value from four or more counters. The random number as the lottery means can be either a soft random number or a hard random number.
Further, it is naturally possible to configure so as to cause a so-called time-saving state together with the support state after the end of the big hit state.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, a pachinko machine as an example of a gaming machine has been described, but the present invention is naturally applicable to other gaming machines such as an enclosed pachinko machine.
In addition, all the elements (for example, control means, a symbol display section, a special prize winning section, an effect display section, and the like) described in the claims, the description, and the drawings are clearly described to consciously limit the number thereof. Unless there is, there may be no physical difference or a plurality of changes, and the arrangement may be appropriately changed. Further, the element names (names given to the elements) used in the claims and the specification are merely given for convenience of description of the present case, and thus have a special meaning. Is not particularly conscious. In other words, what the element is is not limitedly interpreted only by the element name. For example, the “control means” may be a single piece of hardware or may include software. Furthermore, whether a plurality of elements of all the elements are appropriately integrally formed or whether one element is divided into a plurality of elements is appropriately determined unless otherwise specified in the claims and the like. All of these are very easily considered by those skilled in the art. Therefore, simply adopting a gaming machine having a structural difference within the range to the extent that it is not described in the present embodiment does not mean that the right according to the present invention has been avoided. . In addition, the same applies to differences in obvious configurations that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art from the present embodiment in the configuration and shape of each element.
