[First Embodiment]
<Basic configuration of pachinko machine>
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a front frame 10 </ b> Z on the front, and a game area formed on the front of the game board 11 through a glass window 10 </ b> W formed on the front frame 10 </ b> Z. R1 is visible.

  Speakers 25S, 25S are provided on both sides of the front frame 10Z above the glass window 10W. An upper plate 26 and a lower plate 27 are provided below the glass window 10W in the front frame 10Z in two stages, and a firing handle 28 is provided on the right side of the lower plate 27. When the firing handle 28 is rotated, the game balls accommodated in the upper plate 26 are flipped out toward the game area R1. An operation button 29 that can be pressed by a player is provided on the upper portion of the upper plate 26. The operation button 29 can be vibrated in a manner that can be felt by the player.

  As shown in the figure, the entire game area R1 has a substantially circular shape and is surrounded by the guide rail 12. In the center of the game area R1 of the game board 11, a display opening 11H is formed to penetrate therethrough, and a display screen 13G of the display device 13 faces forward through the display opening 11H. In addition, on the display screen 13G of the display device 13, various effects relating to the game are displayed.

  A display decoration frame 23 is attached to an opening edge of the display opening 11H. In detail, the display decoration frame 23 is fitted into the display opening 11H from the front side of the game board 11, protrudes from the front surface of the game board 11, and a game ball flowing down the game area R1 enters the inside of the display decoration frame 23. It regulates that.

  First and second start winning openings 14A and 14B and a large winning opening 15 are provided in the center of the game area R1 below the display decorative frame 23 in the left-right direction at intervals from the top. I have. A plurality of general winning openings 20 are provided along the guide rail 12 on the left side of the first starting winning opening 14A. The game balls that did not win any of the winning ports 14A, 14B, 15, and 20 are all taken into the out port 16 arranged at the lower end of the game area R1. Further, a start gate 18 is provided on the left side of the display decoration frame 23. The starting gate 18 has a gate-shaped structure through which game balls can dive and pass. Although not shown, a large number of obstacle nails are planted in the game area R1.

  The general winning opening 20 has a so-called pocket structure, is open to the upper surface of a member protruding from the front surface of the game board 11, and has an upward opening of a size that allows just one game ball to enter. When a game ball enters the general winning opening 20, for example, ten game balls are paid out to the upper plate 26 as prize balls.

  The first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B both have a so-called pocket structure having an opening on the upper surface of a member protruding from the game board 11. The first starting winning opening 14A arranged on the upper side has an opening width in which only one game ball can enter. On the other hand, the second starting winning opening 14B arranged on the lower side is arranged immediately below the first starting winning opening 14A, and movable wing pieces 14C, 14C are provided on both left and right sides of the opening. The two movable wing pieces 14C, 14C are always in an upright state, and the opening width of the second starting winning opening 14B sandwiched between the two movable wing pieces 14C, 14C is large enough to accommodate only one game ball. It has become. Further, the space above the second starting winning opening 14B is always surrounded by the members constituting the first starting winning opening 14A and the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C, so that the game ball does not enter. I have. Then, when the general figure determination described below is a hit, the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C are tilted sideways for a predetermined period. Then, the space above the second starting winning opening 14B is opened to the side, and the game ball passing on both sides of the first starting winning opening 14A is received by the movable wing piece 14C, and the second starting winning opening 14B. (FIG. 1 shows the movable wing piece 14C laid down on its side). When a game ball wins (enters) in each of the start winning ports 14A and 14B, for example, four game balls are paid out to the upper plate 26 as prize balls.

  The special winning opening 15 is formed in a horizontally-long rectangular shape, and is always closed by the movable door 15T. Then, when the movable door 15T is tilted forward and the special winning opening 15 is opened, many game balls can be won in the special winning opening 15 by using the movable door 15T as a guide. When a game ball wins in the special winning opening 15, for example, 15 game balls are paid out to the upper plate 26 as a prize ball for each winning.

<About movable objects>
On the back side of the game board 11 shown in FIG. 1, a movable accessory unit 40 is provided in front of the display screen 13G. The movable auditors unit 40 is configured such that movable auditors 40A and 40B arranged vertically are attached to a fixed base (not shown) so as to be vertically movable.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the upper movable role 40A has a shape imitating a hat, while the lower movable role 40B has a shape mimicking a face. When arranged vertically, it can be seen as the face of a witch Z1 described later.

  In these movable roles 40A and 40B, the upper movable role 40A is always disposed above the opening 23H of the display decoration frame 23, and the lower movable role 40B is always positioned above the opening 23H of the display decoration frame 23. It is arranged below and is not visible from the front (see FIG. 1). When the movable role unit 40 receives a signal and drives a motor (not shown), the upper and lower movable roles 40A and 40B move closer to each other, and the face of the witch Z1 is displayed so as to hide the display screen 13G. It appears inside the opening 23H of the decorative frame 23 (see FIG. 2).

<Electrical configuration>
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a ROM, a RAM, and a CPU (not shown), and the CPU executes a plurality of control programs stored in the ROM at a predetermined cycle in a multitask process. It functions as a control component such as a random number generation unit 80, a random number acquisition unit 81, a data storage unit 82, a general figure determination unit 83, and a special figure determination unit 85 which are partially extracted from the block diagram of FIG.

  The random number generation unit 80 generates a plurality of random numbers at a predetermined cycle. Each time a game ball passes through the starting gate 18, the random number obtaining unit 81 obtains a random number for general map determination one by one and stores it in the data storage unit 82, and the game ball wins in the start winning ports 14 A and 14 B. Each time, a plurality of random number sets for special figure determination are acquired from the random number generation unit 80 and stored in the data storage unit 82.

  The general figure determination unit 83 acquires a random number for general figure determination from the data storage unit 82 and determines whether or not the random number is an odd number (this is referred to as “general figure determination”). Then, on receiving a result of the determination, the general symbol control unit 84 displays a normal symbol, which is, for example, a single digit number that changes in the range of 0 to 9 on the display screen 13G during a predetermined normal general symbol change period. After the variable display, the stop display is performed. In the probable change state, which will be described later, a normal symbol is variably displayed over a shorter time-shorter fluctuation period instead of the normal normal fluctuation period, and then stopped and displayed. Then, the result of the ordinary figure determination is notified based on whether or not the stopped and displayed symbol is an odd number. In addition, when a game ball passes through the starting gate 18 during the period from the start of change to the stop display of the normal symbol, that is, during the determination notification, random numbers for a maximum of four balls are stored in the data. It is stored in the unit 82, and the ordinary figure determination is suspended. Then, when a hit is made in the ordinary figure determination, as described above, the movable wing piece 14C falls down for a predetermined period to guide the game ball to the starting winning prize port 14B downward. In addition, in the probable change state, when a hit is made in the ordinary map determination, the movable wing piece 14C falls down over a special opening period longer than the predetermined period.

  The special figure determination unit 85 acquires a random number set for special figure determination from the data storage unit 82, and determines whether or not the random number for determination of correctness included in the random number set matches a predetermined hit random number. Judgment (this is referred to as “special figure judgment”). When a big hit occurs in the special figure determination, a big hit game in which a round game in which the special winning opening 15 is opened for a predetermined time is repeated a plurality of rounds is executed. In addition, the winning random number includes a random number with a bonus and a random number with no privilege. The special figure determining unit 85 determines whether the acquired random number is a random number with a privilege or a random number without a privilege. It is also determined whether or not is a bonus with bonus or a bonus without bonus. In the present embodiment, when the bonus hit is achieved, a bonus is provided after the execution of the big hit game, in which the probability of a hit in the special figure determination is high. In addition, the probable change state ends when, for example, a special figure determination is performed a predetermined upper limit number of times.

  The effect control unit 86 receives the determination result from the special figure determination unit 85, and displays, on the display screen 13G, for example, special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C each of which is a three-digit number that changes in a range of 0 to 9 in advance. After fluctuating and displaying over a predetermined normal pattern fluctuation period, for example, the temporary special pattern 13A, the right special pattern 13C, and the center special pattern 13B are temporarily stopped (stopped in a swinging state) in this order. . Then, after all three special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are temporarily stopped, all three of them are fixedly stopped (rested), and the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C, which have been fixed and stopped, are combined with the special symbols. The result of the judgment is reported.

  Specifically, in the case of a hit with a probability change, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are aligned at the “777” and the fixed stop is displayed. In the case of a hit with no probability of variation, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed. Is displayed as a cross stop other than "777", and in the case of a deviation, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed as non-cross checks and final stop display is performed.

  Further, when the special balls 13A, 13B, 13C change from the start of the change to the final stop display, that is, when the game ball wins in the start winning prize holes 14A, 14B during the judgment notification and during the execution of the above-mentioned big hit game. Is stored in the data storage unit 82 for the special figure determination of up to four balls, and the special figure determination is suspended. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the effect control unit 86 includes a notification-in-progress display body 13 </ b> E corresponding to the special figure determination during the determination notification (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as “the fluctuation”), and a suspended special figure determination (hereinafter, appropriately, A display 13H corresponding to “hold” is displayed on the display screen 13G (in the example of FIG. 1, the case where there are two held special figure determinations is shown). Note that the in-notification display 13E is displayed larger than the hold display 13H.

  The random number set for the special figure determination also includes a random number for determining whether or not to be in the reach state during the notification of the determination of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C. Then, the contents of the determination notification including whether or not the special figure determination unit 85 (see FIG. 3) is in the reach state are determined and provided to the effect control unit 86. Here, the reach state refers to a state where the left and right special symbols 13A and 13C are temporarily stopped at the same symbol and the central special symbol 13B is variably displayed. Even in the reach state, similarly to the case where the reach state is not established, the central special symbol 13B is temporarily stopped, all three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are temporarily stopped once, and then finally stopped. Whether the special figure determination is a hit or not and whether or not to reach the state are determined immediately when the random number set for the special figure determination is stored in the data storage unit 82 or the determination is notified or held. Regardless of whether it is performed, a pre-read determination is made.

  The effect control unit 86 may perform re-determination notification. The re-judgment notification means that the special symbol 13B at the center is temporarily stopped from the reach state, all three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are temporarily stopped, and then the temporary stop symbol combination is canceled without the final stop. Then, again, all three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are variably displayed, temporarily stopped, and then determined to be stopped to notify the determination. Further, the re-determination notification may be continuously repeated. Further, the re-determination notification may be started from the temporary stop display of the missing symbol combination, or the re-determination notification may be started from the temporary stop display of the winning symbol combination. Also, the result of the re-determination notification may be either a hit or a miss, but if the re-determination notification is performed after the temporary stop display of the hit symbol combination, it may be determined that the final symbol combination is displayed with the wrong symbol combination and ended. It is set to increase.

  The effect control unit 86 controls not only the determination notification using the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C but also the notification effect for producing the notification. In the notification effect of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, for example, the witch Z1 also serving as the movable accessory unit 40 described above forms a main character, and changes the situation and feeling of various characters. Based on whether the fate of each character is a good result or a bad result, the result of the special figure determination is suggested. In order to randomly perform various notification effects, a plurality of notification effect data tables are stored in the control data storage unit 87, and a part of them includes a data table for a release departure from the reach state. , And a data table for hitting from the reach state to hit. A plurality of types of notification effects are set in these two tables, and the contents of some notification effects are entirely the same between the two data tables except for the end part. In addition, a notification effect that is easily selected and a notification effect that is not so are set for each data table. Then, when the random number set for special figure determination is stored in the data storage unit 82, the effect control unit 86 determines a data table based on the result of the pre-read determination and acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 80, A notification effect that matches the random number is selected from the data table.

  More specifically, the notification effect called "vehicle driving effect" shown in FIG. 4 is set in a data table for reaching and a data table for deviating from reach, respectively. In the car running effect for reaching the reach, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), after the driving scene of the car driven by the character Z2 implied by the witch Z1 is displayed, and at the end of the notification effect, FIG. As shown in (C), the result indicates that the vehicle has arrived at the destination and the result of the right / wrong determination is a hit. On the other hand, in the vehicle running effect for hitting, after the same vehicle running scene as in the case of hitting (see FIG. 4 (A)) is displayed, and at the end of the notification effect, as shown in FIG. Falls off the cliff without arriving at the destination, and the result of the determination is incorrect.

  In addition, the vehicle traveling effect is set to be hard to be selected in the data table for reach, while it is set to be easily selected in the data table for out of reach. Therefore, when the car running effect is executed, the reliability of the hit / fail judgment result becomes extremely low. For example, the probability of hitting is about 5%, and the probability of hitting is about 95%. In the case of a miss, a special symbol combination of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is fixedly stopped and displayed together with the above-mentioned fall scene. In the case of a hit, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed together with the arrival scene. The winning symbol combination is determined and stopped and displayed.

<About stock production>
By the way, the information production includes a production called "stock production". As shown in FIG. 5, the “stock effect” reports a “seed effect” for collecting seeds of an item, a “lottery effect” for selecting whether or not the seed is an item, and a result of the lottery. The “lottery result notification effect”, the “conversion effect” that converts the type of the item into an item, and the “use effect” in which the item is used are sequentially executed. When the lottery is off, only the "lottery result notification effect" is executed). Hereinafter, an example of the flow of the “stock effect” will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 6 (A) shows a display screen 13G in a state where two holdings are accumulated while the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are changing. Here, when the determination result is the reach or out of reach, and a hold in which “stock effect” is selected as the notification effect occurs, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), a hold indicator 13H is added, "Seed collection effect" starts. In the “seed collection effect”, first, the character Z2 is running while thinking “I'm going to be late,” and from this character Z2, an item seed icon 13T in the shape of a timer (hereinafter, “item seed 13T , And “timer type 13T1”). Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the character Z2 disappears, and the item seed 13T that has just appeared collides with the hold display body 13H corresponding to the hold that is “stock effect”, and the character Z2 appears as shown in FIG. As shown in ()), the reserved display body 13H changes to a special reserved display body 13H1 shaped like a hat of the witch Z1.

  After that, until the special figure determination just before the suspension of the “stock effect” is notified (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as “pre-reading”), the button-type item seed 13T (hereinafter, referred to as “pre-reading”) As appropriate, a “button seed 13T2”) and an item seed 13T in the shape of the face of the witch Z1 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as an “accessory seed 13T3”) appear, and three item seeds 13T. Floats in the display screen 13G (see FIG. 6E).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (F), when the suspension of “stock effect” becomes the fluctuation, the fluctuation of the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C of the fluctuation starts. At this time, the special reservation display body 13H1 becomes the special notification display body 13E1 having a shape imitating the hat of the witch Z1. While the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are changing, an item seed 13T is further generated (see FIG. 6G). The seed 13T of this item is spherical, and is referred to as “other species 13T4” as appropriate after the seed 13T of the spherical item. In the example shown in FIG. 6 (G), the other species 13T4 occurs after the left special symbol 13A is temporarily stopped.

  Note that, when the timer seed 13T1 occurs, the button seed 13T2, the accessory seed 13T3, and other effects are performed in the same manner as the effect in which the character Z2 is running (referred to as “late production”). Even when 13T4 occurs, an effect corresponding to the type of the seed is performed. For example, when the button seed 13T2 occurs, the "button vibration effect" in which the operation button 29 vibrates, and when the accessory seed 13T3 occurs, the upper and lower movable objects 40A and 40B move. When the “effect” includes the other seed 13T4, the “painting effect” in which an image in which the character Z2 is painted is displayed is performed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6 (H), when the left special symbol 13A and the right special symbol 13C are temporarily stopped at the same number to reach a reach state, a “lottery effect” is performed. In the "lottery effect", first, the hat which is the special hold display 13H1 is enlarged and turned over, and all the seeds 13T of the items generated in the "seed collection effect" are sucked into this hat. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), the hat vibrates, and an operation suggestion image 13P which includes an image imitating a button and the characters “PUSH” and suggests that the operation button 29 is pressed is displayed. Is done.

  When the operation button 29 is operated, a “lottery result notification effect” is performed. When the seed is out of the lottery of whether or not the seed becomes an item (that is, a lottery of whether or not to follow the "conversion effect"), the character "Fail" is displayed as shown in FIG. If necessary, the result of the judgment is notified without the seed of the item coming out of the hat, and the “stock effect” ends, and the next special figure judgment starts to change ( FIG. 7 (C)). On the other hand, when a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the seed is an item, as shown in FIGS. 7D to 7F, the character “Item GET” is displayed and then drawn into the hat. The released item seed 13T is released and arranged on the lower edge of the display screen 13G (hereinafter referred to as “success notification effect” as appropriate).

  Here, the lower limit of the number of seeds 13T of the items appearing in the “seed collection effect” is two, and the upper limit is five. Therefore, for example, when the special figure determination of “stock effect” occurs in a state where there is no such change and no hold, the item is changed from the start of the change of “stock effect” to the reaching state. When the number of the seeds 13T is two, it always occurs. Further, among the item seeds 13T generated in the “seed collection effect”, the upper limit of the item seeds 13T generated during prefetching is three. Further, the upper limit is also set for each type of the item type 13T, the upper limit of the timer type 13T1, the button type 13T2, and the accessory type 13T3 is one each, and the other types 13T4 are two upper limits. ing.

  In the present embodiment, the setting is made such that the greater the number of seeds 13T of the items appearing in the “seed collection effect”, the more likely the success notification effect to be performed thereafter. In the present embodiment, when the determination result is a hit, a success notification effect is always performed, and the process is followed by a subsequent “conversion effect”.

  If the lottery of whether or not the seed becomes an item is a hit (when a “success notification effect” is performed), then, a “conversion effect” is performed. In the “conversion effect”, the item seeds 13T arranged on the lower edge of the display screen 13G are converted one by one into the items 13S, and are arranged on the upper edge of the display screen 13G. Hereinafter, the details will be described.

  When the “conversion effect” is started, first, as shown in FIG. 8A, the type 13T3 of the character at the left end is arranged at the center of the display screen 13G, and converted from the type 13T3 of the character. A conversion candidate row 13R in which icons 13S of the items that can be performed (hereinafter, simply referred to as “item 13S”) and an operation suggestion image 13P are displayed. The items 13S that can be converted from the accessory seed 13T3 include a star-shaped lamp light-emitting item 13S31, a stick accessory item 13S32 shaped like a walking stick, and a face accessory item shaped like a face of the witch Z1. 13S33 are set.

  When the operation button 29 is operated, the type 13T3 of the accessory is converted into one item 13S in the conversion candidate sequence 13R (see FIG. 8B), and the item 13S is displayed on the upper edge of the display screen 13G. (See FIG. 8C). In the example shown in FIG. 8B, the accessory 13T3 is converted into a face accessory item 13S33. After that, the item seeds 13T arranged on the lower edge of the display screen 13G are sequentially converted into the items 13S from the left. FIG. 8D illustrates a 10-second timer item 13S11 converted from the timer type 13T1.

  In this “conversion effect”, a “proliferation effect” in which two items 13S are generated from one item seed 13T may be performed. FIGS. 8D to 8G show an example in which two items 13S are generated from one other species 13T4. First, as shown in FIG. 8D, the other species 13T4 is arranged at the center of the display screen 13G, and the operation suggestion image 13P is displayed. Then, when the operation button 29 is operated, as shown in FIG. 8 (E), two other species 13T4 are displayed together with the word “split”, and one other species 13T4 is split and two This suggests that the other species grew to 13T4. Thereafter, the operation suggestion image 13P is displayed again, and the conversion candidate sequence 13R in which the items 13S that can be converted from the other species 13T4 are displayed. Items 13S that can be converted from the other species 13T4 include a blue paint item 13S41 having a brush-like shape, a star paint item 13S42 having a star drawn with a brush-like shape, and a C in a circle. A chance item 13S43 containing characters is set. Then, when the operation button 29 is operated, in the example shown in FIG. 8G, two other species 13T4 are converted into two blue paint items 13S41. Note that the chance item 13S43 may be, for example, an effect in which characters “CHANCE” are displayed, or may be configured to be converted to another item according to the progress of the game. At this time, the chance item 13S43 may be configured to be converted only to the item 13S that can be converted from the other species 13T4, or may be converted to the item 13S that can be converted from a different type such as the accessory type 13T3. Is also good. Moreover, the effect based on use of each item 13S may be performed by using the chance item 13S43 without changing the icon of the chance item 13S43.

  Note that the two item seeds 13T after the propagation may be converted at the same time or may be converted in order. Also, the seed 13T of the two items after the propagation may be converted into the same item 13S or may be converted into different items 13S. In addition, in the examples shown in FIGS. 8D to 8G, the conversion candidate sequence 13R is not displayed until the operation suggestion image 13P is displayed for the second time, but other types 13T4 are displayed on the display screen 13G. The conversion candidate row 13R may be displayed from the time of being arranged at the center (that is, from the time of FIG. 8D).

  After that, the button type 13T2 is further converted to a BIG button item 13T22 and arranged on the upper edge of the display screen 13G (see FIG. 8H). Thereby, all the item seeds 13T are converted into the items 13S, and the “conversion effect” ends. Further, in the present embodiment, the setting is made such that the greater the number of the items 13S at this time, the higher the reliability with which the hit / failure determination result is hit.

  As shown in FIG. 9, similarly to the above-described accessory type 13T3 and other types 13T4, in the timer type 13T1 and the button type 13T2, a plurality of types of items 13S are converted from the item types 13T. Is set. In detail, as the item 13S that can be converted from the timer type 13T1, a 10-second timer item 13S11 and a 20-second timer item 13S12 are set, and as the item 13S that can be converted from the button type 13T2, A small button item 13S21 and a BIG button item 13S22 are set. Here, in the table shown in FIG. 9, the lower the items 13S in each group (the group of items converted from the same item type) in the table shown in FIG. It is configured so that it is easy to come out and it is difficult to come out when the result of judgment is wrong. In other words, the lower the item 13S to be converted is arranged in each group, the higher the reliability that the hit / no-go determination result hits is higher. These items 13S are also arranged in this order in the conversion candidate sequence 13R.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the “conversion effect” ends, a “use effect” in which the item 13S converted from the item type 13T is used is performed. Hereinafter, an example of the “use effect” will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, among the items 13S (FIG. 8 (H)) arranged on the upper edge of the display screen 13G, the face accessory item 13S33 moves while expanding to the center (see FIG. 10 (A)). Then, the upper and lower movable characters 40A and 40B move, and a “face character effect” in which the face of the witch Z1 appears in front of the display screen 13G (see FIG. 10B). Then, when the movable auditors 40A and 40B are separated vertically and returned, and the display screen 13G becomes visible, the characters "sea" are displayed on the display screen 13G as shown in FIG. 10C. . At this time, the face role item 13S33 is not displayed. Thereby, it is possible to make the user feel that the “face effect effect” has been performed using the face effect item 13S33. In the display screen 13G shown in FIG. 10C, the background is black, and the word "sea" is white. Thereafter, the 10-second timer item 13S11 moves while expanding to the center (see FIG. 10D), the 10-second countdown starts, and moves to the lower right corner (see FIG. 10E).

  Next, the blue paint item 13S41 moves to the upper left corner of the display screen 13G while being enlarged (see FIG. 10F). Then, the blue paint item 13S41 moves toward the lower right over the character "sea", and an image is displayed as if blue paint is flowing thereafter (FIG. 10 (G)), and the "sea" is displayed. Changes to blue. It should be noted that the shape and size of the character "sea" have not changed. As described above, in the present embodiment, a video (image) indicating that the color of a character changes such that a blue paint flows over the character, triggered by the change factor of the blue paint item 13S41, is displayed. After that, the "change effect" of changing to blue characters is performed.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 11A, the display screen 13G switches from the image of the character “sea” to the image of the character Z2 standing on the sandy beach of the sea where the island floats. As shown in FIGS. 11 (B) to 11 (D), this character Z2 is called "let's swim to that island" and starts swimming in the sea.

  Here, the countdown of the 10-second timer item 13S11 is continued during the “change effect”, and when the remaining time reaches 0 second at the timing of FIG. It collides with the blue paint item 13S41 (see FIG. 11C), and the blue paint item 13S41 is changed to a more reliable star paint item 13S42 (see FIG. 11D). As described above, in the present embodiment, a “change effect” in which a certain item 13S is changed to another item 13S is performed. In addition, the change of the item 13S is performed when the countdown of the timer becomes zero.

  Next, the star paint item 13S42 moves to the upper left corner of the display screen 13G while being enlarged (see FIG. 11E). Then, while the star paint item 13S42 moves to the lower right over the sea, an image is displayed as if a star-pattern paint is flowing thereafter (see FIG. 11 (F)), and the sea becomes a star. A series of flow change effects of changing to a pattern (see FIG. 11 (G)) are performed. In the present embodiment, the reliability when the star pattern pattern appears once is 80%, and the reliability when the star pattern pattern appears twice is 100% (that is, the reliability determination result that is reported thereafter is always 100%). It is set to be a hit), and the production of this star pattern pattern is a very happy production for the player.

  Further, when the character Z2 is swimming in the sea with a star pattern toward the island, a shark Z3 appears as shown in FIG. Immediately after the witch Z1 appears as shown in FIG. 12 (A), the BIG button item 13T22 is displayed large in the center, and the character "PUSH" is displayed, and the operation button 29 is operated. (See FIG. 12B).

  Then, when the operation button 29 is operated, if the result of the special figure determination is a hit, the witch Z1 defeats the shark Z3 (see FIG. 12 (C)), and the character Z2 arrives at the island (see FIG. 12C). After the display of FIG. 12 (D)), the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are fixed and stopped at the same number as “777” (see FIG. 12 (E)), and the judgment result of the special figure determination hits. (Probable change) is notified. On the other hand, if the result of the special figure determination is off, as shown in FIG. 12 (F), an image is displayed in which the witch Z1 cannot defeat the shark Z3 and the character Z2 is attacked by the shark Z3. At the same time, the special symbols 13A, 13B and 13C are fixedly stopped and displayed at positions other than the alignment.

  The above is a series of flow of “stock production”. As described above, in the “stock production”, after the seeds of the items are collected, the lottery as to whether or not the seeds of the items are converted into the items and the notification of the result are performed. The converted item is used and a corresponding effect is performed. In other words, in the "stock effect", after an icon indicating that a specific effect can be executed is acquired (seed collection effect), a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the specific effect is executed, and the result is notified. (A lottery effect and a lottery result notification effect), and when it is executed, the specific effect is executed (use effect). Further, the icons are obtained in a common mode (item type) corresponding to the group, and after a lottery result indicating that a specific effect is to be executed is notified, the icon is converted into a subdivided mode (item) corresponding to each effect. (Conversion effect).

<Regarding control of stock production>
Next, control of the effect control unit 86 for executing the “stock effect” will be described with reference to FIGS. As described above, when a game ball wins in the start winning openings 14A and 14B (* 1 in FIG. 13), it is determined whether or not the special figure determination resulting from the winning is a hit and whether or not the reach state is set. Is determined in advance. The effect control unit 86 receives the result of the pre-reading determination and selects a notification effect from the corresponding data table.

  When the “stock effect” is selected (the reliability when the “stock effect” is executed is, for example, 30%), the number of types of the items to be generated during the prefetching is continuously set to 0 to 0. A lottery will be drawn from the three. At this time, the kind of the item to be generated is also randomly selected. The number of item types is determined so that the number of button types, the type of timers, and the type of accessory are each one, and the number of other types is two. Further, as described above, the generation effect when generating the seed of the item is set for each type of the item type, and when the type of the type of the item to be generated is determined, the generation effect is also determined. Then, the effect control unit 86 outputs the effect content being prefetched determined as described above to the display device 13 or the like.

  In addition, the type of the item related to the generated effect that did not end during the pre-reading does not occur. That is, even if the number of item seeds is determined by lottery, the number of item seeds does not always occur according to the number. In addition, when the special figure determination of “stock effect” occurs in a state where there is no change and no hold, the lottery of the number of item types to be generated during the pre-reading is not performed.

  Then, when the special figure determination for which “stock effect” is selected becomes the fluctuation (* 2 in FIG. 13), it is determined whether the type of the item can be obtained by being converted into an item (that is, “success notification effect” to “success information effect”). A lottery (whether or not to develop into a use effect) (hereinafter referred to as an “acquisition possibility lottery”) is performed. In the data table of the acquisition possibility lottery, the hit / reject determination result is always hit (acquisition success) when the hit is a hit, and the reliability when the "success notification effect" is performed is, for example, 60%. And so on.

  When a win is obtained in the “acquisition availability lottery”, the number of star paint items to be generated is determined by lottery. In the present embodiment, the reliability is set such that the reliability is 60% when the number of star paint items is 0, 80% when the number of star paint items is 1, and 100% when the number of star paint items is 2. In addition, how to use the star paint item (that is, what to make a star pattern) is selected by lot.

  When the number of star paint items is determined, a method of obtaining the star paint items is selected by lot. Specifically, you can select whether to convert directly from other seeds to star paint items in `` conversion effect '' or to temporarily convert from other seeds to blue paint items and promote them to star paint items by timer items Is done. When two star paint items are generated, an appearance method is selected for each of them.

  Next, the effect control unit 86 randomly selects the total number of items generated in the “seed collection effect” and the total number of items converted in the “conversion effect”. The total number of item types and the total number of items are the number and type of item types that occurred during prefetching, the result of the special figure judgment, the number of star paint items to be generated, the appearance method, and the timer that occurred during prefetching Is determined by the number of species and the number of other species.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of a selection data table in the case where the number of types of items that occurred during prefetching is two. For example, if the result is a hit and the number of star paint items to be generated is 0, one combination is selected from the combinations of the total number of seeds and the total number of items shown in the table. On the other hand, the hit / fail judgment result is a hit, two star paint items to be generated are generated (both are generated by promotion by the timer), the number of timer types generated during pre-reading is 0, and the number of other types is one. In this case, at least one timer seed needs to be generated during the fluctuation, so that the case where the total number of item seeds is two is not selected (indicated by “X” in FIG. 14). Also, even if the total number of item seeds is three, the other species and the timer seed need to multiply, respectively (the total number of items must be two or more larger than the total number of item seeds). Therefore, the combination of item type 3 / item 3, item type 3, and item 4 is not selected. Similarly, the combination of item type 4 and item 4 is not selected. Therefore, one combination is selected from the combinations marked with “○” in FIG.

  In addition, the kind of the type of the item generated during the fluctuation is also randomly selected by reflecting the above condition. Note that the setting is such that the greater the number of item types, the more easily the “acquisition availability lottery” is likely to hit.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13, "conversion effect" is selected by lottery. In the present embodiment, as a method of operating the operation button 29 when converting from an item type to an item, a “single operation” that converts when the operation button 29 is operated once and a conversion method that is performed when the operation button 29 is repeatedly hit are performed. Is set, and which operation method is applied is determined for each item type.

  In this lottery, the “proliferation effect” is also determined. That is, the number of item seeds for which the “proliferation effect” is performed is determined from the total number of item seeds and the total number of items, and a selection is made as to which item seed is to be propagated. In addition, when the item seeds multiply, “single operation” and “continuous operation” are set, and which operation method is applied is determined for each “multiplication effect”. The above conditions, such as the number of star paint items to be generated, are also reflected in the lottery of the type of items to be multiplied.

  Thereafter, the type of the converted item is determined based on the determination result of the special figure determination, the number of star paint items to be generated, and the method of obtaining the item, and further, the usage status (timing and usage) in which the converted item is used. Method) is also determined. Then, the effect control unit 86 outputs the effect contents reflecting the determined item of the lottery to the display device 13 or the like.

<Effects>
The configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as described above. Next, effects of the present embodiment will be described. As described above, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the seeds of the items are first collected, the lottery as to whether or not the seeds of the items are converted into the items and the notification of the result are performed and the conversion is performed. In this case, a stock effect is performed in which the converted item is used and a corresponding effect is performed. That is, in the “stock effect”, after an icon indicating that a specific effect can be executed is acquired, a lottery as to whether or not the specific effect is executed and a notification of the result are performed.

  Here, the conventional pachinko gaming machine has a configuration in which the effect for the icon is always executed when the icon is obtained, whereas in the present embodiment, after the icon is obtained, It is possible to provide a novel effect that a lottery is performed to determine whether the effect is performed. According to this configuration, even if the icon is acquired, whether or not the icon is executed is not known, so that it is possible to give the player a thrilling feeling, and it is possible to improve the interest.

  Further, the icons are obtained in a common mode (item type) corresponding to the group, and after a lottery result indicating that a specific effect is to be executed is notified, the icon is converted into a subdivided mode (item) corresponding to each effect. Therefore, when the seed of the item is obtained, it is not known what effect is to be performed yet, and the player can be thrilled. In addition, since the shape of the type of the item suggests the content of the production, it is not known exactly what production will be performed, but it is possible to predict the general content, and to predict You can also entertain your favorite players.

  In addition, the player can also feel the excitement as to what kind of the acquired item will be. In addition, in the conversion effect, the conversion candidate sequence 13R indicating the items that can be converted is displayed, so that the player can easily understand which items can be converted. Furthermore, since the items in the conversion candidate sequence 13R are arranged in order of the degree of reliability, it is possible to make it easier for the player to determine whether it is advantageous to convert to the item.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a multiplying effect in which the icon once obtained is multiplied into a plurality of icons is performed, and an unprecedented effect in which icons that have already appeared increases can be provided. Moreover, since this propagation effect is performed during the conversion effect in which the seeds of the items are converted into items, the number of icons that the seed collecting effect has been determined to have been determined after completion has increased, and the player's intention has increased. Can be attached.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an unprecedented novel effect that an icon (item) once obtained is changed to another icon can be provided. In addition, this change is performed when the countdown of the timer reaches 0, and a novel effect that the icon is changed when the timer reaches 0 can be provided. In addition, the timer is also based on the acquired icons, and the effect of acquiring the icons can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the character “sea” changes from white to blue, a blue paint item that triggers the change is displayed, and during the change from white to blue, A novel effect of displaying an image indicating that a change occurs, such as flowing blue paint, can be provided. Moreover, since the blue paint item that triggers the change is acquired as an icon that indicates that a specific effect can be performed, something may turn blue when the blue paint item appears It is possible to make the user feel the excitement of not being able to do so, and it is possible to improve the attractiveness of the effect of acquiring icons.

[Second embodiment]
The pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which a special pattern is added to the “car running effect” (see FIG. 4) of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment. In the normal pattern of the “car driving effect”, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a scene in which the car arrives at the destination is displayed after the running scene of the car as described above. You. The running scene of the car is the same in the off-vehicle running performance.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (A), in the special pattern of the per-car driving effect, the same driving scene as that of the off-vehicle driving effect is displayed. Is displayed. Then, while the running scene of the automobile gradually becomes transparent and disappears, the special video gradually decreases in transparency and becomes clear, and the special video eventually becomes a virtual gaming machine hall as shown in FIG. In front of the pachinko gaming machine installed in the pachinko gaming machine, it is possible to recognize that the image is an image in which the imaginary player X1 is looking at the pachinko gaming machine side.

  Hereinafter, in the special pattern of the car running effect, the effect of displaying the space or the world in front of the pachinko machine including the fictitious player X1 on the display screen 13G is referred to as “virtual effect”, and the other space or the world is displayed. The effect displayed on the screen 13G is referred to as “main effect”. In addition to “virtual effects” and “main effects”, among effects using special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C and effects using lamps such as voices, all effects that change in accordance with the progress of the game are collectively referred to as “games”. Direction ". The same applies to embodiments other than the present embodiment.

  In the virtual effect of the present embodiment, the image of the fictitious player X1 sitting in front of the pachinko gaming machine and playing the game is viewed from the pachinko gaming machine side or reflected on the front of the pachinko gaming machine. It is displayed on the display screen 13G. Therefore, the game island X2 of the game hall is reflected in the background of the imaginary player X1. Then, the initially imaginary player X1 is displayed on the display screen 13G, for example, in a prone state, and eventually wakes up to become a so-called camera looking image. These images may cause a real player to feel as an image of his / her own reflected on the front of the pachinko gaming machine, or as an image of watching himself from the unreal world on the display screen 13G. Can be.

  In addition to the above-mentioned image of the fictitious player X1, a tweet or a message of the fictitious player X1 is displayed as a telop and output from the speaker 25S. The message has, for example, a content expressing the negative emotion of the imaginary player X1. As described above, after the driving scene of the automobile (see FIG. 15 (A)), the special figure determination is lost with a high probability. The message is a content expressing negative emotions. In this case, in many cases, the real player also has a negative emotion, so the content of the message of the fictitious player X1 synchronizes with the feeling of the real player, and the message is converted to the real player himself. It can be felt as a proxy for tweets or a proxy for thoughts.

  Shortly after the virtual effect starts, the witch Z1 (see FIG. 15A) that appeared in the initial stage of the driving scene of the car appears near the imaginary player X1 (see FIG. 15C). . That is, the witch Z1 who was in a different world from the world in front of the pachinko gaming machine appears in the world in front of the pachinko gaming machine. Also, the witch Z1 initially faces the fictitious player X1 (see FIG. 15D), and it turns to the so-called camera line from the middle and faces the real player side. Then, an effect is performed in which the witch Z1 casts a spell to imply (FIG. 16A).

  Then, the fictitious player X1 is switched to the video implied by the witch Z1 (see FIG. 16B), and the fictitious fictitious player X1 is drastically transformed into a bullish fictitious player X1 (FIG. 16). (C)). In other words, the spell of the witch Z1 becomes a "trigger effect" meaning a trigger (opportunity), and switches from suggestion of departure (bearer player X1) to suggestion of hit (bullish player X1). Then, returning to the image of the main effect in which the imaginary player X1 does not appear, an image (see FIG. 16 (D)) in which the vehicle reaches the destination, which notifies the hit in the special figure determination, is displayed, and the special symbol is displayed. 13A, 13B, and 13C are determined and stopped and displayed in a winning symbol combination.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the virtual effect during the game effect that changes according to the progress of the game, the real player is shown the imaginary player X1 in the same situation as the player, It is possible to provide a novel and highly interesting effect that encourages self-projection or empathy. In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned virtual production, a proxy production that outputs a message that suggests or speaks for a tweet or a thought of a real player is also performed. It is guided to be the same or close feelings, and in this respect, a novel and highly attractive effect can be provided. In addition, since the message has a content according to the suggestion of the special figure determination, it is easy to synchronize the message with the actual feeling of the real player. It should be noted that the message may be in the form of a self-question, which may provide a novel sensation that the real player is prompted to ask a question.

  In addition, the image of the virtual effect is an image of the fictitious player X1 viewed from the pachinko game machine side or an image of the fictitious player X1 reflected on the front of the pachinko game machine, Since the gaming island X2 of the gaming hall is reflected in the background of the imaginary player X1, the real player feels or displays the imaginary player X1 as himself or herself reflected in the front of the pachinko gaming machine. It is a novel feeling that makes you feel yourself when you see the real world from the world of the image on the screen 13G. In addition, since the fictitious player X1 also looks at the camera, it feels like a real player watching the image and staring at himself. Also, while the fictitious player X1 appears in a translucent state over the display of the main effect and gradually becomes clear, on the contrary, the main effect gradually disappears, so that the pachinko game from the world of the main effect It can also give a fresh sense that the real player's focus gradually changes into a fictional world in front of him.

  In addition, after the fictitious player X1 is displayed in the virtual effect, the witch Z1 that appeared in the main effect before the virtual effect appears and is displayed together with the fictitious player X1, so that it is displayed in front of the pachinko machine. The world and the world of the main production, which is another world, are synchronized, and the player can have a novel feeling. Then, the witch Z1 can entertain and entertain the real player with a sense of affecting the fictional world in front of the pachinko gaming machine and the real world in front of the pachinko gaming machine in the virtual effect.

  Furthermore, after a suggestion of an out-of-office scene of a car driving scene is performed in the main effect, the out-of-office suggestion that the fictional player X1 is bearish is also performed in the virtual effect, thereby increasing the sense of expectation of winning. After the lowering, the display is switched to the suggestion of the hit due to the appearance of the witch Z1, so that the expectation of the hit can be expanded at a stretch. Further, when the expectation is lowered, the negative tweets or ideas of the fictional player X1 output from the display screen 13G or the speaker 25S are imprinted on the real player, which also changed to a suggestion effect of winning. The joy of the time will increase. Also, after the appearance of the witch Z1, the fictitious player X1 also changes from bearish to bullish, so that the real player's feeling can be smoothly guided from bearish to bullish. Further, after the imaginary player X1 becomes bullish, the world in front of the pachinko gaming machine where the imaginary player X1 is located returns to the world of the main production, and the expectation of winning is further increased.

[Third embodiment]
The pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment has a configuration in which a virtual effect for producing the re-determination notification described in the first embodiment is added to the pachinko gaming machine of the first or second embodiment. I have. The “re-determination notification” is for reporting the result of the rejection determination, but the display mode is switched a plurality of times, and the greater the number of times of switching, the higher the reliability of hitting in the rejection determination becomes “repeated effect”. It can also be considered as

  In the repeat effect of the present embodiment, a first display mode in which at least one of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is variably displayed, and a symbol combination that indicates the result of the hit / fail judgment for all of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C. After the second display mode of temporary stop display in the state of fine movement is repeated, all of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are determined by the symbol combination meaning the result of the success / failure determination, and the stop display is performed. The display mode of 3 is performed. Then, the repeat effect is interrupted and a virtual effect is performed, suggesting the end of the repeat effect during the virtual effect, and thereafter, the witch Z1 appears and the repeat effect is resumed.

  Specifically, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C repeatedly change and temporarily stop the display several times, and the symbol combination of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C of the temporary stop display for the plurality of times is changed with certainty. It becomes "777" which means hit. However, the stop display determined at "777" is not displayed, and the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are temporarily stopped again at, for example, "767", which means that the reach is lost, as shown in FIG. . Normally, after the temporary stop is displayed in the symbol combination with the probability change (“777”) as described above, when the symbol fluctuates again and the temporary combination is displayed in the symbol combination out of reach (“767”), the reach is displayed. The determined symbol combination is fixed and stopped and displayed, and the end of the repeat effect ends. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the temporary stop display time of the out-of-reach symbol combination (“767”) is set to be longer than the previous temporary stop display time. And make the player feel. Then, the virtual effect is started during the temporary stop display of the out-of-reach symbol combination (“767”).

  When the virtual effect is started, as shown in FIG. 17B, an imaginary player X3 different from the imaginary player X1 of the virtual effect according to the second embodiment appears. Like the imaginary player X1, the imaginary player X3 is displayed in a state of playing a game while sitting in front of the pachinko gaming machine, and the gaming island X2 is displayed in the background. The imaginary player X3 is also initially displayed in a downward state, and eventually wakes up to become a so-called camera-viewing image. When the virtual effect is started, as in the second embodiment, a translucent special image is displayed over the temporary stop display of the out-of-reach symbol combination (“767”). Then, the temporary stop display of the out-of-reach symbol combination (“767”) gradually becomes transparent and disappears, while the special image gradually decreases in transparency and becomes clear.

  Then, the tweet or thought message of the imaginary player X3 is displayed as a telop and output from the speaker. For example, even if the message is temporarily stopped at "777" of the winning graphic combination, the message changes and changes to "767" of the missing graphic combination. Here, as described above, when the re-judgment notification is performed from “777”, the special figure judgment is lost with a high probability, and the re-judgment notification from “777” is also performed in the “suggestion effect of departure”. Become. Therefore, the real player who saw it becomes a negative emotion, the message of the fictitious player X3 synchronizes with the real player's feeling, and feels that the real player himself speaks or expresses his thoughts. Can be done.

  Also in the virtual effect of the present embodiment, the witch Z1 appears near the imaginary player X3 some time after the appearance of the imaginary player X3 (see FIG. 17C). Then, the state where the sight line of the witch Z1 faces the imaginary player X3 side (see FIG. 15D) becomes a so-called camera line of sight (FIG. 18A), and the real player side in front of the display screen 13G. It switches to facing and casts a spell that suggests.

  Then, the fictitious player X3 is switched to an image implied by the witch Z1 (see FIG. 18B), and the fictitious fictitious player X3 is transformed into a bullish fictitious player X3 (FIG. 18). (C)). Accordingly, the number of reach lines increases, and for example, as shown in FIG. 18C, the number of reach lines becomes two, and the degree of expectation increases. In other words, the spell of the witch Z1 becomes a trigger effect, and switches from suggestion of deviation to suggestion of hit. Also, after the spell of the witch Z1, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C change again, and the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C again change slightly (change display) with the sudden change to the bullish fictitious player X3. Then, when "777" is lined up diagonally, it is fixed and stopped, and it is notified that the result of the special figure determination is a hit with a certain change.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the same operation and effect as those of the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment can be obtained. In the present embodiment, a virtual effect is performed while the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are temporarily stopped and displayed, that is, while a certain display mode of the repeat effect is held. Although the holding was released after the effect, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C were hidden during the virtual effect, that is, the repeat effect was interrupted, and the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C were interrupted after the virtual effect. May be displayed again to resume the repeat effect. Further, in the above embodiment, when the virtual effect ends and the repeat effect is released, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are only slightly changed and displayed, and are displayed in a fixed symbol combination. However, after the hold of the repeat effect is released, at least one special symbol 13A, 13B, 13C reach fluctuation is performed, and then the winning symbol combination may be confirmed and displayed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which it is determined and displayed in a symbol combination without performing.

[Fourth embodiment]
The pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment performs, in addition to the performance performed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of any of the above-described first to third embodiments, an informational production called “witch leaving production” shown in FIG. It is configured as follows. "Witch departure effect" is set in a data table for a hit with probability change and a data table for a hit without probability change. Both the witch departure production for a certain probability change and the witch departure production for a certainty change are the same as in the early stage (not shown). Fall into trouble. In the case of the out-of-reach production, the witch Z1 appears, but the character Z4 ignores the advice of the witch Z1 and falls into further trouble, and the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C come off and are determined as a symbol combination. The stop display appears, and the off-reach effect ends.

  On the other hand, in the witch leaving performance of both the hit with the certainty change and the hit with no certainty change, as shown in FIG. 19A, the character Z4 accepts the favor of the witch Z1 and escapes from the predicament. Next, as shown in FIG. 19B and FIG. 19C, the witch Z1 who is satisfied with the human help gradually leaves the place, and an effect indicating the ending is performed. Up to this point, both witch-leaving productions with a probability change and a probability-free hit are common.

  As described above, it is suggested that the special figure judgment is a hit in the part common to both the witch-leaving production with the probability change hit and the probability change-free hit, but whether it is the probability change hit or no probability change It is an ambiguous production that can not distinguish whether it is a hit. Such a fuzzy production in which the presence or absence of a privilege is ambiguous (fuzzy) is called “fuzzy production”.

  Then, in the witch leaving production with no probability change, the fuzzy production suggesting the ending is finished and the special symbols 13A, 13B and 13C are superimposed on the fuzzy production and other than “777” as shown in FIG. 19 (F). A fixed stop is displayed at the crossing point (for example, “444”), and it is notified that the result of the special figure determination is a hit without a probability change.

In the bonus effect, the witch Z1 is displayed on the entire display screen 13G, and casts a spell that suggests to the real player from the viewpoint of the camera. After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (E), the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C become "777" and are fixedly stopped and displayed. That is, it is notified that the result of the special figure determination is a hit with a probability change. Note that, in the present embodiment, the fuzzy effect in the witch leaving effect with certainty change is a content in which the fuzzy effect in the witch leaving effect with no certainty change is forcibly terminated on the way.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the determination result is a hit, a fuzzy effect is performed, which is a hit but cannot be distinguished as to whether or not there is a privilege. Then, when it is a hit with a privilege, a privilege effect is performed after a fuzzy effect, and the player can know with a sense of moderation that the hit was with a privilege. It is possible to enjoy a novel and highly-oriented production in which the whole of the production of the information is vaguely finished, and it is easy to know that the bonus has been lost. In addition, if the hit is a bonus with a bonus, the fuzzy rendering is terminated halfway and the bonus rendering is performed, so that the player can be surprised and the joy can be increased. Further, since the fuzzy production means or suggests the entire ending of the notification production, when the bonus production is performed thereafter, the sensation given by the privilege immediately before the end is given, and the joy of the player is increased. be able to. In addition, since the witch Z1 that has appeared in the fuzzy production also appears in the special production and the production develops, the player can have a sense of being promoted from the non-privileged state to the special state. In addition, since the fuzzy production gradually develops the privilege production from the point where the whole of the notification production approaches the end, the player can be surprised and the joy can be increased. Then, when the bonus hit is achieved, a great privilege is provided that the hit is changed to a certain state after the big hit game. Therefore, the pleasure of the player at the time of performing the privilege effect of notifying or indicating the bonus hit is increased.
