In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes members such as nails and windmills for changing the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area 21.

Next, a gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as gaming states with different probabilities of winning the big hit lottery. The probability of winning a jackpot lottery is also called a jackpot probability. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the big hit probability is higher than the low probability state. Thus, the high probability state is more advantageous to the player than the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called “probability change state (probable change state)”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls fired is different. The high base state is a game state in which the probability that a game ball enters the second starting port 29 is higher than the low base state. Thus, the high base state is more advantageous for the player than the low base state. The high base state is a so-called “electric support state”, and the low base state is a so-called “non-electric support state”.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol fluctuation time reduction control that makes the fluctuation time of the normal game shorter than in the low base state. The second control is a normal symbol probability variation control in which the probability of winning the normal symbol winning lottery is changed to a higher probability than in the low base state. The probability of winning a normal symbol hit lottery is also called a normal hit probability. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the ordinary variable member 30 in one ordinary winning game longer than that in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes controlling the number of times of opening the normal variable member 30 in one normal hitting game to be larger than that in the low base state, and opening one time of the normal variable member 30 in the normal hitting game. At least one of the controls for setting the time longer than in the low base state may be performed.

  The ordinary hit probability in the low base state is greater than zero. Therefore, the normally variable member 30 can be operated in the open state in the low base state. Note that the ordinary hit probability in the low base state may be zero. In this case, the normal variable member 30 is not operated in the open state in the low base state. When a game ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4 in the low base state, a normal winning lottery may not be performed, and a normal out-of-game symbol may be determined and stopped in the normal game. Also in this case, the normally variable member 30 is not operated in the open state in the low base state.

  Further, the high base state may be realized by combining a fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol fluctuation time reduction control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) as compared with the low base state. When performing the special symbol variation time reduction control, the high base state is a so-called “variation time reduction state” for the special symbol. On the other hand, the low base state is a so-called “non-fluctuation time shortened state” for a special symbol.

Next, the setting change function will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability can be set as a plurality of types of setting values (setting information). Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability can be set as a plurality of types of setting values in all six stages from setting 1 to setting 6. The plurality of types of setting values define a jackpot probability in a low probability state and a jackpot probability in a high probability state. The big hit probability in the low probability state is higher in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6, and it is easy to win the big hit. The big hit probability in the high probability state is higher in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6, and the big hit is easily won. From this, it is advantageous for the player in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability changes according to the set value. The set value does not need to be six steps, and may be any of two to five steps, seven steps or more.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the setting operation section (not shown) of the setting device 40e (shown in FIG. 2) is turned on, and the RAM clear switch 40d (shown in FIG. 2) is turned on. When the power supply is started in the operated state, the mode shifts to the setting change mode. In the setting change mode, the currently set value is notified, and every time the RAM clear switch 40d is operated, the currently set value is changed from setting 1, setting 2, ..., setting 5, setting 6, and setting 1. → ... can be changed to loop. The setting change mode ends when the setting operation unit of the setting device 40e is turned off. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the power supply is started in a state where the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on, various information that is backed up is initialized. The various types of information being initialized are initialized.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the power supply is started in a state where the setting operation unit of the setting device 40e is turned on and the RAM clear switch 40d is in the off state, the mode is shifted to the setting confirmation mode. . In the setting confirmation mode, the currently set value is notified, and even if the RAM clear switch 40d is operated, the currently set value cannot be changed. The setting confirmation mode ends when the setting operation unit of the setting device 40e is turned off.

Next, a big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
In the big hit game, first, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined opening time. In the big hit game, after a lapse of the opening time, a plurality of round games in which the special winning opening 31 is opened are performed. The round game is performed with a specified number of times as an upper limit. One round game ends when a first end condition that a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enters the special winning opening 31 or a second end condition that a predetermined upper limit time elapses is satisfied. In each round game, a round effect is executed. In the big hit game, when the last round game ends, an ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit game is executed for a predetermined ending time. The big hit game is ended as the ending time elapses.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of types of big hits as special hits. For each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols, the type of jackpot is determined. In the present embodiment, in the first special game, among the 100 types of big hit symbols that are fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display unit 22a, 65 kinds of big hit symbols become symbols ZA, and 35 types of big hit symbols become symbols ZB. Each is classified.

Next, the power supply unit 60 will be described.
The power supply unit 60 converts a power supply voltage supplied from an external power supply such as a game arcade into a power supply voltage to be supplied to each of the substrates 40 and 41. The power supply unit 60 is connected to each of the boards 40 and 41 via a power supply line, and supplies power to each of the boards 40 and 41 through the power supply line.

  The power supply unit 60 includes a power switch 60a. When the power switch 60a is operated from an off state to an on state in a state where power is supplied from an external power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10, each of the boards 40 and 41 is turned on. When power supply to the substrates 40 and 41 is started and further turned off, power supply to the substrates 40 and 41 is cut off.

Next, various processes performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
First, a power-on process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the power-on process, depending on the operation state of the setting operation unit of the RAM clear switch 40d and the setting unit 40e when the power supply is started, whether or not to shift to the setting control mode (setting change mode and setting confirmation mode); Also, whether or not the main control RAM 40c is initialized is controlled.

  First, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the RAM clear switch 40d has been turned on when the power supply is started. The main control CPU 40a determines that the RAM clear switch 40d has been turned on when an operation signal output when the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on is input.

  When it is determined that the RAM clear switch 40d has been turned on when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a performs a RAM clear process of the main control RAM 40c. In the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a initializes the game information stored in the main control RAM 40c, but does not initialize the information stored in the main control RAM 40c that can specify the set value. As described above, when the power supply is started and the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on (when the initialization operation is performed), the main control CPU 40a is stored in the main control RAM 40c. Initialize game information.

  After performing the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the setting unit 40e has been turned on when the power supply is started. The main control CPU 40a determines that the setting device 40e has been turned on when an operation signal output when the setting device 40e is turned on is input.

  When it is not determined that the setting unit 40e has been operated to the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a reads out the set value stored in the main set value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and reads the set value. A command that can specify the set value (hereinafter, referred to as a set value command) is set in the output buffer. In the present embodiment, the command set in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in a command output process performed as an interrupt process at a predetermined control cycle. The set value specified by the set value command is the set value that was set when the power supply was started, and also the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off. When the main control CPU 40a outputs the set value command to the sub board 41, the main control CPU 40a sets a command for designating startup by initialization (hereinafter, referred to as a power-on initial command) in an output buffer, and ends the power-on process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting device 40e has been turned on when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a performs a setting change control process. In the setting change control process, the main control CPU 40a shifts to a setting change mode. When shifting to the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the start of the setting change mode (hereinafter, referred to as a change start command) in the output buffer.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a reads the set value stored in the main set value flag allocated to the main control RAM 40c, and displays the display 40f so that the read set value is notified. Control. That is, the display 40f notifies the set value that was set when the power supply was started. It can also be said that the display 40f notifies the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off. The main setting value flag is a flag for the main control CPU 40a to specify the set value. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the read set value (hereinafter, referred to as a power-on set value command) in the output buffer.

  In the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a changes the set value each time the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on, from the setting 1, the setting 2, the setting 5, the setting 6, the setting 1, the setting 1, and the like. And so on. In this processing, the main control CPU 40a changes the set value by updating the set value stored in the main set value flag. As described above, in the present embodiment, the set value can be changed by operating the RAM clear switch 40d in the setting change mode. In the present embodiment, the operation of the RAM clear switch 40d in the setting change mode corresponds to a setting change operation. In the present specification, “change of a set value” means that a set value that is set is changed by performing a setting change operation. Further, when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a outputs a command (hereinafter, referred to as a setting change command) capable of specifying that the setting change operation has been performed. When the set control value is changed, the main control CPU 40a controls the display 40f so that the set value set after the change is notified.

  In the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a switches the setting change mode when the setting device 40e is turned off (when the operation signal output when the setting device 40e is turned on is not input). finish. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the setting change control processing.

  After ending the setting change control process, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the set value stored in the main set value flag (hereinafter, referred to as a set value command) in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the end of the setting change mode (hereinafter, referred to as a change end command) in the output buffer. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a sets the power-on initial command in the output buffer, and ends the power-on processing.

  If it is not determined that the RAM clear switch 40d has been operated to the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a confirms whether the backed up various information is normal. Whether the backed-up various information is normal or abnormal is confirmed, for example, by confirming the status of the backup flag and confirming that the checksum matches. When various types of information that are backed up are abnormal, the main control CPU 40a performs a RAM clear process of the main control RAM 40c. When the backed up information is normal, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the setting unit 40e has been turned on when the power supply is started. The main control CPU 40a determines that the setting device 40e has been turned on when an operation signal output when the setting device 40e is turned on is input.

  When it is not determined that the setting unit 40e has been operated to the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a reads out the set value stored in the main set value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and reads the set value. Set the set value command that can specify the set value in the output buffer. The set value specified by the set value command is the set value that was set when the power supply was started, and also the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off. When the set value command is set in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a power-on power recovery command) for designating restoration based on various types of backed up information in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol state designation command) for designating a control state at the time of return (also at the time of power interruption) in the output buffer, and ends the power-on processing. The symbol state designation command is to return to the state during execution of the first special game, to return to the state during execution of the second special game, and to return to the state during the big hit game based on the first special game. And a command for performing a return to a jackpot game based on the second special game.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting device 40e has been turned on when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a performs a setting confirmation control process. In the setting confirmation control processing, the main control CPU 40a shifts to a setting confirmation mode. When shifting to the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the start of the setting confirmation mode (hereinafter, referred to as a confirmation start command) in the output buffer.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a reads the set value stored in the main set value flag allocated to the main control RAM 40c, and displays the display 40f so that the read set value is notified. Control. In the setting confirmation mode, even when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated, the main control CPU 40a does not change the set value and does not change the notification content of the display 40f. In the setting confirmation mode, when the setting device 40e is turned off (when the operation signal output when the setting device 40e is turned on is not input) in the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a switches the setting confirmation mode. finish. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the setting confirmation control processing.

  After ending the setting confirmation control process, the main control CPU 40a sets a setting value command capable of specifying the setting value stored in the main setting value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c in the output buffer. Since the set value is not changed in the setting check mode, the set value stored in the main set value flag is the set value set when the power supply is started, and is set when the power supply is cut off. It is also the set value that was set. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the end of the setting confirmation mode (hereinafter, referred to as a confirmation end command) in the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a sets the power-on power recovery command and the symbol state designation command in the output buffer, and ends the power-on process.

  As described above, when the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on and the setting unit 40e is turned on, the main control CPU 40a performs the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c and the setting in the power-on processing. Perform change control processing. On the other hand, when the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on and the setting unit 40e is turned off, the main control CPU 40a performs a RAM clear process of the main control RAM 40c in a power-on process, and performs a setting change control process. Do not do. When the RAM clear switch 40d is turned off and the setting unit 40e is turned on, the main control CPU 40a performs a setting confirmation control process in the power-on process. On the other hand, when the RAM clear switch 40d is turned off and the setting unit 40e is turned off, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the setting confirmation control process in the power-on process.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs the power-on process, so that the control to set any one of the plurality of set values that determine the jackpot probability is enabled. The function as the means is realized. In the present embodiment, the big hit probability corresponds to the degree of advantage related to the big hit game.

Next, a process performed by the main control CPU 40a after the power-on process is performed will be described.
First, a special symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The special symbol input process is performed as an interrupt process every predetermined control cycle.

In the special symbol input processing, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port 28 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the first starting sensor SE1.
When it is determined that the game ball has entered the first starting port 28, the main control CPU 40a determines that the first special reserve number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). It is determined whether or not there is.

  When it is determined that the first special reservation number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding "1". Thereby, the hold condition of the first special game is satisfied. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 to display the updated first special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number (hereinafter, referred to as a first hold number command) in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. For example, the random number is a random number used for a jackpot lottery, a random number used for determining a jackpot symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, and the like. In this process, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information such that the random number information is for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution of the first special game can be suspended until the execution condition is satisfied. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself or information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method.

  When it is determined that the game ball has not entered the first starting port 28, when the first special reserve number is not less than the upper limit number, and when the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a determines whether a game ball has entered the second starting port 29 based on whether a detection signal has been input from the second starting sensor SE2. When it is determined that the game ball has not entered the second starting port 29, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input processing.

  When it is determined that the game ball has entered the second starting port 29, the main control CPU 40a determines that the second special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). It is determined whether or not there is. When it is determined that the second special reservation number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a can specify that a game ball has entered the second starting port 29 when the second special reservation number has reached the upper limit number. A special command (hereinafter, referred to as a second start winning command) is set in the output buffer, and the special symbol input processing ends.

  When determining that the second special hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding “1”. Thereby, the hold condition of the second special game is satisfied. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 to display the updated second special hold number. In addition, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the updated second special hold number (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this process, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information such that the random number information is for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution of the second special game can be suspended until the execution condition is satisfied.

Next, a special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The special symbol start process is performed as an interrupt process every predetermined control cycle.
In the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the condition for executing the special game is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the execution condition of the special game corresponds to the start condition. The main control CPU 40a determines that the execution condition of the special game is satisfied when the big hit game is not being performed and the special game is not being performed, while the special game is being executed when the big hit game is being performed or the special game is being performed. It is determined that the condition is not satisfied. When determining that the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, when determining that the execution condition of the special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is “1” or more. When determining that the second special hold number is equal to or more than “1”, the main control CPU 40a performs a predetermined process so as to start the second special game. On the other hand, when determining that the second special hold number is not equal to or more than “1”, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is equal to or more than “1”. When determining that the first special reserve number is equal to or more than “1”, the main control CPU 40a performs a predetermined process so as to start the first special game. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special reserved number is not equal to or more than “1”, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing.

  When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special reserved number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting "1". In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the updated first special hold number is displayed. Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first from the random number information for the first special game from the main control RAM 40c. When reading the random number information stored first, the main control CPU 40a deletes the random number information from the main control RAM 40c.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a, based on the read random number information, the set value stored in the main set value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. , It is determined whether or not to win the jackpot. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery. As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot lottery is performed when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the jackpot lottery corresponds to a special lottery. In the present embodiment, for example, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 40b so that the big hit determination value corresponding to the set value and the probability state can be specified. The determination as to whether or not to win the jackpot is made by determining whether or not the value of the random number identified from the random number information matches the currently set value and the jackpot determination value corresponding to the current probability state. Is determined by The determination as to whether or not to win the big hit may be made based on whether or not a value obtained by adding the value of the random number specified from the random number information and the big hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  When it is determined that the big hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the big hit symbol that is determined and stopped in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game. The main control CPU 40a determines any of the above-described 100 types of big hit symbols as the big hit symbols that are determined and stopped and displayed in the first special game. When the big hit symbol to be determined and stopped and displayed in the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a sets information that can specify the determined big hit symbol in the output buffer. When the variation pattern of the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a can identify the determined variation pattern and issue a command to start a production game based on the variation pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a first game start command). ) Is set as the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the big hit is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines the out-of-position symbol that is determined and stopped in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game. When determining a lost symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the first special game, the main control CPU 40a sets information capable of specifying the determined lost symbol in the output buffer. When the variation pattern of the first special game is determined, the main control CPU 40a can identify the determined variation pattern and issue a command to start a production game based on the variation pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a first game start command). ) Is set as the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing. Hereinafter, information that can specify the determined special symbol (big hit symbol and missing symbol) is referred to as a symbol command.

  When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 40a performs the same control as the control for starting the first special game described above. In other words, the main control CPU 40a subtracts the second special reserve number, determines the big hit lottery, determines the big hit symbol or the loss symbol based on the result of the big hit lottery, determines the fluctuation pattern based on the result of the big hit lottery, and sets the symbol command and the second game. After performing the process of setting the start command and the output buffer, the special symbol start process ends.

  When the special symbol start process is completed, the main control CPU 40a executes a special game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures a fluctuation time determined in the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start processing is fixedly stopped and displayed when the variable time set in the variable pattern has elapsed. The main control CPU 40a instructs the stop of the variation of the effect symbol when the variation time determined in the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process elapses, and a command (hereinafter, referred to as a game) for causing the symbol combination by the effect symbol to be determined and displayed.

That is, the main control CPU 40a gives a big hit game by executing a big hit process. As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot game as a special game is given after the lottery result of the jackpot lottery becomes a result of winning the jackpot. In the present embodiment, the fact that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery results in winning the big hit corresponds to the fact that the lottery result of the special lottery becomes a special result.

  When the big hit special game ends, the main control CPU 40a first sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as an opening command) capable of specifying the start of the opening time in the output buffer. When the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing a round game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the special actuator A2 so that the special winning opening 31 is opened based on the opening pattern determined by the big hit symbol (type of big hit), and starts a round game. After starting the round game, when the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a controls the special actuator A2 so that the special winning opening 31 is closed, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 40a repeatedly performs a process for executing such a round game until a specified number of round games is completed.

  When the round game is started, the main control CPU 40a sets a command capable of specifying the start of the round game (hereinafter, referred to as a round command) in the output buffer. When the round game ends, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a round end command) capable of specifying the end of the round game in the output buffer.

  When the final round game is over, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time in the output buffer. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game.

Next, a game state process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZA and Za is given, the main control CPU 40a, when ending the big hit game, outputs information that can specify the high probability state to the main probability state assigned to the main control RAM 40c. Set the flag. In addition, when a big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZA, Za is given, the main control CPU 40a, when ending the big hit game, assigns to the main control RAM 40c information that can identify the high base state. Set to base state flag. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the game state so as to be in the high probability state and the high base state until the next big hit game is started.

  When the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZB and Zb is given, the main control CPU 40a, when ending the big hit game, outputs information that can specify the low probability state to the main probability state assigned to the main control RAM 40c. Set the flag. In addition, when the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZB and Zb is given, the main control CPU 40a, when ending the big hit game, assigns, to the main control RAM 40c, information capable of specifying the high base state to the main control RAM 40c. Set to base state flag. In this case, since the main control CPU 40a gives the high base state in which the upper limit number is set, the main control CPU 40a stores the number corresponding to the upper limit number in the main control RAM 40c as the remaining number of special games to which the high base state is given. Then, each time the special game is executed, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the remaining number stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the remaining number of times becomes “0”, the main control CPU 40a sets information that can identify the low base state in the main base state flag with the end of the special game in which the remaining number of times becomes “0”. Set. That is, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state with the end of the upper limit number of special games.

  By the way, the main control CPU 40a sets information that can identify the low probability state in the main probability state flag when giving the big hit game. In addition, when giving the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a sets information that can specify the low base state in the main base state flag.

  When the main control CPU 40a sets information that can specify the low probability state in the main probability state flag, a command that can specify the low probability state (hereinafter, referred to as a low probability state command) is output to the output buffer. Set. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a outputs a command (hereinafter, referred to as a high-probability state command) capable of specifying the high-probability state when information that can specify the high-probability state is set in the main-probability state flag. Set to buffer. When the main control CPU 40a sets information that can specify the low base state in the main base state flag, a command that can specify the low base state (hereinafter, referred to as a low base state command) is output to the output buffer. Set. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets information that can specify the high base state in the main base state flag, it outputs a command that can specify the high base state (hereinafter, referred to as a high base state command). Set to buffer.

Subsequently, a standby state process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the execution of the special game is completed and the predetermined variable interval time elapses, the main control CPU 40a controls the standby state if both the first number of storages and the second number of storages are “0”. I do. In addition, when the ending time of the jackpot game has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a controls the standby state if both the first number of retained storages and the second number of retained storages are “0”. When controlling to the standby state, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a standby command) capable of specifying that the control has been performed to the standby state in the output buffer.

Next, various processes performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
First, when power supply is started, the sub-control CPU 41a performs initialization. When the initialization is completed, the sub-control CPU 41a waits for a command input from the main control CPU 40a. The sub-control CPU 41a starts up earlier than the main control CPU 40a. When a command is input from the main control CPU 40a, the sub-control CPU 41a can wait.

  Upon input of the change start command, the sub-control CPU 41a waits for a power-on setting value command, and upon input of the power-on setting value command, power supply is started from the input power-on setting value command. Identify the set value that was set at the time. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the set value set when the specified power supply is started in the power-on sub-set value flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. As described above, the power-on sub-set value flag is a flag for specifying the set value that was set when the power supply was started. The set value that was set when the power supply was started is also the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off.

  When the setting change command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d, and stores information capable of specifying the current date in the setting change operation flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. . This setting change operation flag is a flag for specifying the date on which the most recent setting change operation was performed. The information stored in the setting change operation flag and capable of specifying the date on which the setting change operation was performed is included in various types of information to be backed up on the sub-board 41.

  When the set value command is input, the sub control CPU 41a specifies the set value from the set value command, and stores the specified set value in the sub set value flag assigned to the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-set value flag is a flag for the sub-control CPU 41a to specify the set value that has been set.

  When the power-on initial command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a RAM clear process of the sub-control RAM 41c. In the RAM clear processing of the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a initializes the predetermined information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, but does not initialize the information about the set values stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. For example, the predetermined information includes information that can specify a gaming state. For example, the information on the setting value includes information that can specify the date on which the setting change operation is performed, which is stored in the setting change operation flag. When the power-on initial command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a reads information indicating the effect content in the initial state from the sub-control ROM 41b, and controls the effect to be executed with the effect content in the initial state. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the power-on power recovery command, the sub-control CPU 41a renders the effect content in the state before the power supply was cut off, based on the symbol state designation command input together with the power-on power recovery time command. Is controlled to be executed.

  When a command is input from the main control CPU 40a after the effect is performed from the effect content in the initial state or the state before the power supply is cut off, the sub-control CPU 41a performs various processes. Here, an example of various processes performed by the sub control CPU 41a when a command is input from the main control CPU 40a will be described below.

First, an effect game process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
Upon input of the game start command and the symbol command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination to be determined and stopped in the effect game. When the special symbol identifiable from the symbol command is a big hit symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a big hit symbol combination by the effect symbol. When the special symbol identifiable from the symbol command is a lost symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination of the lost symbols by the effect symbol.

  Further, when the game start command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the effect symbols are variably displayed in each column. That is, the sub control CPU 41a starts the effect game. After starting the effect game, the sub-control CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol, and when the game end command is input, determines and stops the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol.

Next, the jackpot effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to execute the opening effect. When a round command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to execute a round effect. When the ending command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to execute the ending effect.

Next, a game state process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the low-probability state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets, in the sub-probability state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c, information that can identify the low-probability state. When the high-probability state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets, in the sub-probability state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c, information that can identify the high-probability state. When the low-base state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets information that can specify the low-base state in the sub-base state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the high base state command, the sub-control state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c sets information that can specify the high base state.

  In addition, when the standby control command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify the standby state in the standby state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. This standby state flag is a flag for specifying that the sub-control CPU 41a is in the standby state. Upon input of the game start command, the sub-control CPU 41a deletes information that can be specified as the standby state stored in the standby state flag.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, history information capable of specifying the set value set at a predetermined time (in the present embodiment, the closing time of the game store (for example, 23:00)) before the currently set value. Is configured to be able to be stored. The history information is information that can specify the set value set at a predetermined time and the date.

  Hereinafter, a process of storing history information (hereinafter, referred to as a history information storage process) will be described. The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current time from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d, and stores the history information when the current time is a predetermined time (in this embodiment, the closing time of the game store (for example, 23:00)). Perform processing. In the history information storage processing, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the sub-control RAM 41c to determine whether ten days of history information are stored. When it is determined that the history information for ten days is stored, the sub-control CPU 41a determines, from the set values for ten days, the history information capable of specifying the set value set at the predetermined time of the oldest date. to erase. When the history information capable of specifying the set value is deleted, or when it is determined that the history information for 10 days is not stored, the sub control CPU 41a determines whether the set value stored in the sub set value flag and the RTC 41d are different. The history information which can specify the current date specified from the generated RTC information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Note that this history information becomes history information that can specify a set value set at a predetermined time one day before when the date is one day after the date when the history information is stored. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the history information storage processing.

  As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the history information for up to 10 days by performing the history information storage processing at a predetermined time (in this embodiment, the closing time of the game store (for example, 23:00)). . The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date one day before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time one day before. In the following description, “a set value that was set one day ago” means a set value specified from history information that can specify a date one day before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date two days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time two days before. In the following description, the “setting value set two days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date two days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date three days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time three days before. In the following description, the “setting value set three days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date three days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date four days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time four days before. In the following description, the “setting value set four days before” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date four days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date five days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time five days before. In the following description, the “setting value set five days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date five days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date six days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time six days before. In the following description, the “setting value set six days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date six days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date seven days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time seven days before. In the following description, the “setting value set seven days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date seven days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date eight days before the current date is the set value that was set at a predetermined time eight days before. In the following description, the “setting value set eight days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date eight days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date nine days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time nine days before. In the following description, the “setting value set 9 days ago” means a setting value specified from history information that can specify a date 9 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 10 days before the current date is the set value set at a predetermined time 10 days before. In the following description, the “set value set 10 days ago” means a set value specified from history information that can specify a date 10 days before the current date. In the present embodiment, a function as a storage unit that stores information capable of specifying the history of the set value is realized by storing the history information in the sub-control RAM 41c. In the present embodiment, the history information corresponds to first information that can specify the history of the setting value.

  The set value stored in the sub-set value flag is the currently set value. In the following description, “the currently set value” means the set value stored in the sub-value flag. The history information and the information that can specify the currently set value are included in various types of information to be backed up on the sub-board 41. The history information and the information that can specify the currently set value are included in the information on the set value that is not initialized in the RAM clear processing of the sub control RAM 41c.

  Generally, in a game store, the set value set between the time when the game store opens and the time when the game store closes is not changed. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, by storing the history information at the time when the game store closes, the history information is set between the time when the game store opens and the time when the game store closes on the date specified from the history information. Can be specified. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, by storing the history information at the closing time of the game store, the set value set in the period in which the player can play the game on the date specified from the history information is specified. can do.

Next, a change in the set value will be described.
In this specification, “change of the set value” means that the set value that is currently set is different from the set value that was set one day ago. The change in the set value includes a change in the set value advantageously, and a change in the set value disadvantageously. In this specification, "the setting value has changed advantageously" means that the setting value that is currently set is an advantageous setting value than the setting value that was set one day ago. When the set value changes advantageously, the big hit probability in the low probability state and the big hit probability in the high probability state become higher. In this specification, "the setting value has changed disadvantageously" means that the currently set value is a disadvantageous setting value than the setting value set one day ago. When the set value changes disadvantageously, the big hit probability in the low probability state and the big hit probability in the high probability state become low. In the present embodiment, the advantageous change of the set value corresponds to the change of the set value such that the advantage degree relating to the special game is advantageous to the player. In the present embodiment, changing the setting value disadvantageously corresponds to changing the setting value such that the advantage degree relating to the special game is disadvantageous to the player.

On the other hand, in this specification, "the set value has not changed" means that the currently set value is the same as the set value that was set one day ago.
In the present specification, the “change amount of the set value” is a difference between the currently set value and the set value set one day ago. For example, when the setting value set one day ago is setting 3 and the currently set value is setting 4, the setting value has changed, and the amount of change is “1” (= 4−4). 3). For example, if the set value that was set one day ago is set 3, and the currently set value is set 3, the set value has not changed and the change amount is “0” (= 3 -3).

  Incidentally, as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability can be set as a plurality of types of setting values in all six stages from setting 1 to 6. Therefore, when the set value changes from any one of the settings 2 to 5, the set value may change advantageously and the set value may change disadvantageously. When the set value changes from setting 1, the set value may change advantageously, but the set value does not change disadvantageously. When the set value changes from the setting 6, the set value may change disadvantageously, but the set value does not change advantageously. Further, the case where the set value has changed advantageously corresponds to the case where the set value has changed advantageously. On the other hand, the case where the set value changes disadvantageously corresponds to the case where the set value changes disadvantageously.

Next, a description will be given of how to keep the set values.
In the present specification, "the setting value has been left unchanged" means that the operation of the RAM clear switch 40d in the setting change mode has not been performed. That is, in the present specification, “the setting value has been left unchanged” means that the setting change operation has not been performed. When the setting change operation is performed, even if the setting value does not change, it means that the setting value has not been left unchanged. For example, when a setting change operation is performed on the current date, the setting value is not changed even if the currently set value and the setting value set one day ago are the same. It was not. Hereinafter, the “period during which the setting change operation is not performed” may be described as a “deferred period”.

  In the present embodiment, when the date of the most recent setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is the current date, the deferred period is 0 days. That is, the set value has not been left unchanged. On the other hand, when the date on which the most recent setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is performed is a date one day before the current date, the deferred period is one day. If the date on which the most recent setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is performed is a date two days before the current date, the deferred period is two days. If the date on which the most recent setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is performed is a date three days before the current date, the deferred period is three days. If the date of the most recent setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is a date four days before the current date, the deferred period is four days. If the date on which the most recent setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is performed is a date five days before the current date, the deferred period is five days. When the date on which the most recent setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is performed is a date six days before the current date, the deferred period is six days. If the date on which the most recent setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is performed is a date seven days before the current date, the deferred period is seven days.

  Next, the effects regarding the set values will be described. In the present embodiment, the effects related to the set values include a change amount suggestion effect as a special effect, a setting history effect as a predetermined effect, and a stationary period suggestion effect as a specific effect.

  First, the effect of suggesting a change amount will be described. The change amount suggestion effect is executed according to the change amount of the set value that is the difference between the currently set value and the set value set one day ago. That is, in the present embodiment, the change amount suggestion effect is a special effect executed according to the currently set value and the set value that is set before the currently set value. Is equivalent to The change amount suggestion effect can be executed together with the ending effect in the ending period in the big hit game. That is, the change amount suggestion effect can be executed when the ending effect is being executed during the ending period in the big hit game.

Next, the execution probability of the change suggestion effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution probability of the change amount suggesting effect is higher when the set value changes than when the set value does not change. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value does not change, that is, when the change amount of the set value is “0”, the execution probability of the change amount suggesting effect is changed to a specific execution probability (3 in this embodiment). %). On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes, that is, when the change amount of the set value is “1” or more, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is higher than the specific execution probability. . In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes, the execution probability of the change amount suggesting effect is determined according to the change amount of the set value and whether the set value has changed advantageously or disadvantageously. I have. In FIG. 3, “the setting value has changed advantageously” is indicated by “+”, and “the setting value has changed disadvantageously” is indicated by “−”. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes, regardless of the change amount of the set value, when the set value changes advantageously than when the set value changes disadvantageously, The probability of execution of the change suggestion effect is high. That is, in the present embodiment, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is higher when the predetermined change amount is advantageously changed by the predetermined change amount than when the change is disadvantageously changed from the predetermined set value by the predetermined change amount.

  In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value is advantageously changed, the larger the change amount of the set value is, the higher the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is. That is, in the present embodiment, a case where the predetermined set value advantageously changes by the second change amount larger than the first change amount is more favorable than a case where the predetermined set value advantageously changes by the first change amount, The probability of execution of the change suggestion effect is high.

  In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes disadvantageously, the larger the change amount of the set value is, the higher the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is. That is, in the present embodiment, the case where the predetermined change is disadvantageously changed by the second change amount larger than the first change amount than the case where the predetermined change value is disadvantageously changed by the first change amount, The probability of executing a change suggestion effect is high.

Next, the effect contents of the change amount suggestion effect will be described.
The effect contents of the change suggestion effect include first to fourth effect contents. When the effect indicating the amount of change in the first effect is executed, a character image imitating a boy is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the effect suggesting a change amount of the second effect content is executed, a character image imitating a girl is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the effect suggesting the amount of change in the third effect content is executed, a character image imitating a boy, a character image imitating a girl, and an image imitating the character “change” are displayed on the effect display device 27. You. When the effect suggesting the amount of change in the fourth effect content is executed, a character image imitating a boy, a character image imitating a girl, and an image imitating the character “SET UP” are displayed on the effect display device 27. Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the effect of suggesting a change in the first effect content is more easily executed when the set value does not change than when the set value changes. For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a 95% probability when the change amount of the set value is “0”. For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a 90% probability when the change amount of the set value is “1”. When the set value changes, the effect of suggesting the change amount of the first effect content is more easily executed as the change amount of the set value is smaller. For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 85% when the change amount of the set value is “2”. For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 80% when the change amount of the set value is “3”.

  The effect of suggesting a change in the second effect content is easier to execute when the set value changes than when the set value does not change. When the set value is changed, the change amount suggestion effect of the second effect content is more easily executed as the change amount of the set value is larger.

  If the set value does not change, the change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is not executed. The effect of suggesting a change in the content of the third effect is not executed when the set value changes or when the change in the set value is “1”. On the other hand, a change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content can be executed when the set value changes and the change amount of the set value is any of “2” to “5”. Therefore, when the effect suggesting the change amount of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the change amount of the set value is any one of “2” to “5”. When the change amount of the set value is any of “2” to “5”, the change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is more easily executed as the change amount of the set value is larger.

  The effect of suggesting a change in the content of the fourth effect is not executed when the set value does not change. The effect of suggesting a change in the content of the fourth effect is not executed when the set value changes disadvantageously. The change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the set value changes advantageously or when the change amount of the set value is any of “1” to “3”. On the other hand, a change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the set value changes advantageously and when the change amount of the set value is “4” or “5”. Therefore, when the effect suggesting the change amount of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the set value has changed advantageously and that the change amount of the set value is “4” or “5”. The effect suggesting the change amount of the fourth effect content is that when the set value changes advantageously, the change amount of the set value is “5” than when the change amount of the set value is “4”. Easy to be implemented. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect of suggesting the amount of change in the fourth effect content is that the amount of change in the set value, which is the difference between the currently set value and the set value set one day ago. This can be executed when the value is “4” or “5” and the set value changes advantageously. In the present embodiment, the fourth effect content corresponds to the specific effect content, and “4” or “5” corresponds to the specific change amount.

Next, a description will be given of a change amount suggestion effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a.
First, when the ending command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the amount of change in the set value. The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the sub-control RAM 41c to specify the currently set value and the set value that was set one day ago. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the set value has changed advantageously, the set value has changed disadvantageously, based on the currently set value and the set value that was set one day ago, or It is determined whether the set value has not changed. The sub-control CPU 41a determines that the set value has changed advantageously when the currently set value is more advantageous than the set value set one day ago. The sub-control CPU 41a determines that the set value has changed disadvantageously if the currently set value is an unfavorable set value as compared to the set value set one day ago. When the set value set one day ago and the currently set value are the same, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the set value has not changed.

  If it is determined that the set value has changed advantageously, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts the set value set one day ago from the currently set value, and specifies the amount of change in the set value from the result of the subtraction. I do. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to execute the change amount suggestion effect with the execution probability corresponding to the change amount of the set value and the fact that the set value has changed advantageously. When it is determined that the set value has changed disadvantageously, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts the currently set value from the set value set one day ago, and specifies the change amount of the set value from the result of the subtraction. I do. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not to execute the change amount suggestion effect with the execution probability corresponding to the change amount of the set value and the fact that the set value has changed disadvantageously. When it is specified that the set value has not changed, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies “0” as the change amount of the set value, and gives a change amount suggestion effect at a specific execution probability (3% in the present embodiment). Decide whether to run.

  If the sub-control CPU 41a does not decide to execute the change suggestion effect, the change control suggestion effect process ends. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a decides to execute the change amount suggestion effect, the change amount suggestion effect has a probability corresponding to the change amount of the set value and whether the set value has changed advantageously or disadvantageously. Determine the content of the production. For example, when the change amount of the set value is “5” and the set value changes advantageously, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 70% and the second effect content with a probability of 24%. Is determined, the third effect content is determined with a probability of 4%, and the fourth effect content is determined with a probability of 2%. On the other hand, when the change amount of the set value is “5” and the set value changes disadvantageously, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 72% and the second effect content with a probability of 24%. Is determined, and the third effect content is determined with a probability of 4%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the contents of the fourth effect. When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the change amount suggestion effect, the sub control CPU 41a ends the change amount suggestion effect process, and executes the change amount suggestion effect with the determined effect content in a process different from the change amount suggestion effect process. The effect display device 27 is controlled.

Next, the setting history effect will be described.
The setting history effect is executed according to the history information. The setting history effect is executed in accordance with history information that can specify a set value that was set one to seven days ago among history information. Specifically, the setting history effect is calculated from the history information that can specify the setting value set 1 to 7 days ago among the history information, “the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago”. Is executed according to the above. In addition, the setting history effect is executed according to the number of times that the setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days before from the history information that can specify the setting value set from 1 to 7 days before in the history information. Is done. As described above, the setting history effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a predetermined effect performed in accordance with the history information regarding the set value set in the specific period before the currently set value. In the present embodiment, 1 to 7 days before corresponds to the specific period. Further, in the present embodiment, by storing the history information in the sub-control RAM 41c, a function as a storage unit for storing information capable of specifying the history regarding the set value set in the specific period is realized. In addition, the setting history effect is executed according to the currently set value. Therefore, the setting history effect in the present embodiment is executed according to the information that can specify the history of the setting values set in the specific period and the currently set value. The setting history effect is an effect that can be executed during the opening period in the big hit game. The setting history effect is executed together with the opening effect in the opening period of the big hit game. That is, the setting history effect is executed when the opening effect is being executed during the opening period of the big hit game.

Next, the effect contents of the setting history effect will be described.
The effect contents of the setting history effect include first to fifth effect contents. When the setting history effect of the first effect content is executed, an image imitating a cow is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the setting history effect of the second effect content is executed, an image imitating a horse is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the setting history effect of the third effect content is executed, an image imitating a cow, an image imitating a horse, and an image imitating the characters "Okukunana-re" are displayed on the effect display device 27. You. When the setting history effect of the fourth effect content is executed, an image imitating a cow, an image imitating a horse, and an image imitating the characters “treasure excavation” are displayed on the effect display device 27. When the setting history effect of the fifth effect content is executed, an image imitating a cow, an image imitating a horse, and an image imitating the character “I feel the best” are displayed on the effect display device 27. You.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the setting history effect of the first effect content is not executed when the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago is “3” or more. Hereinafter, “the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago” may be simply referred to as “the average value of the set values”. The setting history effect of the first effect content can be executed when the average value of the set values is less than “3”. Therefore, when the setting history effect of the first effect content is executed, it can be specified that the average value of the setting values is less than “3”. The setting history effect of the second effect content is not executed when the average value of the set values is less than “3”. The setting history effect of the second effect content is not executed when the average value of the setting values is “4.5” or more. On the other hand, the setting history effect of the second effect content can be executed when the average value of the set values is equal to or more than “3” and less than “4.5”. Therefore, when the setting history effect of the second effect content is executed, it can be specified that the average value of the setting values is equal to or more than “3” and less than “4.5”. The setting history effect of the third effect content is not executed when the average value of the set values is less than “4.5”. On the other hand, the setting history effect of the third effect content can be executed when the average value of the set values is “4.5” or more. Therefore, when the setting history effect of the third effect content is executed, it is possible to specify that the average value of the setting values is “4.5” or more.

  The setting history effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the number of times that the setting 6 is set 1 to 7 days ago is “0”. On the other hand, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the number of times that the setting 6 has been set one to seven days ago is “one time” or more. Therefore, when the setting history effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago. In the present embodiment, the setting history production of the fourth production content is performed when the setting of the special setting value in the specific period is specified from the information that can specify the history of the setting value set in the specific period. It is feasible. In the present embodiment, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content corresponds to a predetermined effect of the special effect content. In the present embodiment, setting 6 corresponds to a special setting value. In the setting history effect of the fourth effect content, the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is “2”, compared to the case where the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is “1 time”. It is easier to execute when the number is “more than twice”. In the present embodiment, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content can specify the history of the setting value set in the specific period that the number of times the special setting value is set in the specific period is the first number. It is specified from the information that can specify the history of the setting value that the number of times the special setting value has been set in the specific period is the second number, which is larger than the first number, than the case where the number is specified from the information. Is easier to execute. In the present embodiment, “one time” corresponds to the first number, and “two or more times” corresponds to the second number which is larger than the first number.

  The setting history effect of the fifth effect content is executed more when the average value of the set value is “3” or more and less than “4.5” than when the average value of the set value is less than “3”. Easy to do. The setting history effect of the fifth effect content is more effective when the average value of the set value is “4.5” or more than when the average value of the set value is “3” or more and less than “4.5”. , Easy to implement. The setting history effect of the fifth effect content is executed when the currently set value is the setting 6 rather than when the currently set value is any of the settings 1 to 5. easy.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first value that can specify the average value of the set values can be specified rather than the setting history effects of the fourth and fifth effect contents that can specify the number of times that the setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days ago. -Setting history effect of third effect content is easier to execute. Thereby, from the setting history effect, it is possible to make it easier to specify the average value of the setting values than the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago.

Next, a setting history effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
First, when the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the sub-control RAM 41c and specifies the set value that was set one to seven days ago. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates an average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago from the specified set values set 1 to 7 days ago. For example, the setting value set 1 to 3 days ago is setting 6, the setting value set 4 to 6 days ago is setting 4, and the setting value set 7 days ago is setting 5. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates “5” (= (6 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5) / 7) as an average value of the set values. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago from information that can specify the set values set 1 to 7 days ago, A function as a calculating unit that calculates an average value of the set values set in the specific period from the history information is realized. Next, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the number of times that the setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days before from the setting value specified from the history information that can specify the date 1 to 7 days before the current date. For example, the setting value set 1 to 3 days ago is setting 6, the setting value set 4 to 6 days ago is setting 4, and the setting value set 7 days ago is setting 5. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies three times as the number of times that the setting 6 has been set one to seven days ago. That is, the number of times that setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is also the number of days that setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago.

  The sub-control CPU 41a produces a setting history effect at a probability corresponding to the average value of the specified setting values, the number of times the setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days before the specified date, and the currently set value. Determine the content. For example, the average value of the set values is equal to or more than “3” and less than “4.5”, the number of times that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is 1 time, and the currently set value is set. The case of 6 will be described. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second effect content with a probability of 80%, determines the fourth effect content with a probability of 10%, and determines the fifth effect content with a probability of 10%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and third effect contents. For example, regarding a case where the average value of the set values is “4.5” or more, the number of times that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is 1 time, and the currently set value is the setting 6 explain. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the third effect content with a probability of 60%, determines the fourth effect content with a 10% probability, and determines the fifth effect content with a 30% probability. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and second effect contents. For example, the average value of the set values is equal to or more than “3” and less than “4.5”, the number of times that the setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days ago is 2 or more, and the currently set value is The case of setting 6 will be described. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second effect content with a probability of 70%, determines the fourth effect content with a probability of 20%, and determines the fifth effect content with a probability of 10%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and third effect contents.

  The setting history effect in the present embodiment is executed according to the average value of the setting values calculated from the information that can specify the history of the setting values set in the specific period. In the present embodiment, the setting history effect is executed according to the average value of the setting values set one to seven days before, which is calculated by the sub control CPU 41a, so that the setting value set in the specific period is set. A setting history effect is executed according to the information that can specify the history of the setting.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the setting history effect, the effect display device ends the setting history effect process, and executes the setting history effect with the determined effect content in a process different from the setting history effect process. 27 is controlled.

Next, the deferred period suggestion effect will be described.
The deferred period suggestion effect is executed according to the deferred period. That is, the deferred period suggestion effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a specific effect that is executed according to a period during which the setting change operation is not performed. The deferred period suggestion effect can be executed together with the round effect in the first round game in the jackpot game. That is, the deferred period suggestion effect can be executed when the round effect is executed in the first round game in the big hit game.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the setting history effect is executed in the opening period in the big hit game. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the first round game in the big hit game, there are a case where the deferred period suggestion effect is not executed and a case where the deferred period suggestion effect is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is 0 to 2 days, the deferred period suggestion effect is not executed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is three days or more, there is a possibility that a deferred period suggestion effect is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, there are a case where the change amount suggestion effect is not executed and a case where the change amount suggestion effect is executed during the ending period in the big hit game.

Next, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher when the deferred period is five or six days than when the deferred period is three or four days. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher when the deferred period is seven days or longer than when the deferred period is five or six days. Therefore, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, it can be specified that the deferred period is three days or more. As described above, in the present embodiment, the setting change operation is performed over a period longer than the length of the special period than when the setting change operation is not performed over a period shorter than the length of the special period. The execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher when not performed. In the present embodiment, seven days correspond to a special period.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is three or four days, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher as the currently set value is an advantageous set value. In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is 5 or 6 days, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher as the currently set value is an advantageous set value. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is 7 days or more, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher as the currently set value is an advantageous set value. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the second setting, which is more advantageous than the first setting value over the predetermined period, than the case where the setting change operation is not performed while the first setting value is set over the predetermined period. The execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher when the setting change operation is not performed while the value is set. In the present embodiment, at least one of 3, 4 days, 5, 6 days, and 7 days or more corresponds to the predetermined period.

Next, a description will be given of the contents of the effect of the deferred period suggested effect.
There are first to fourth effect contents in the effect contents of the stationary period suggesting effect. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed, an image imitating a dog is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the second effect content is executed, an image imitating a cat is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, an image imitating a dog, an image imitating a cat, and an image imitating the characters “well meet” are displayed on the effect display device 27. You. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is executed, an image imitating a dog, an image imitating a cat, and an image imitating the character “SET UP” are displayed on the effect display device 27. .

  As shown in FIG. 5, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is not executed when the deferred period is seven days or more. On the other hand, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executable when the deferred period is 3 to 6 days. The deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is more easily executed when the deferred period is three or four days than when the deferred period is five or six days. For example, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a 90% probability when the deferment period is three or four days. For example, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 80% when the deferment period is five or six days. In the case where the deferred period is 3 days or more, the deferred period suggestion effect of the second effect content is more easily executed as the deferred period is shorter. The deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 3 to 6 days. On the other hand, the deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is executable when the deferred period is seven days or more. Therefore, when the deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the deferred period is seven days or more. The deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 3 to 6 days. The deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is 1 to 5. On the other hand, the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is setting 6. Therefore, when the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the deferred period is 7 days or more and that the currently set value is setting 6. As described above, in the present embodiment, the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the setting change operation is not performed while the setting 6 is set over the period longer than the special period. It is. In the present embodiment, the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content corresponds to the specific effect of the special effect content, and the setting 6 corresponds to the special setting value.

Next, a deferred period suggestion effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
First, when the first round command is input after inputting the opening command, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the date of the most recent setting change operation from the setting change operation flag. The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the deferment period from the specified date of the most recent setting change operation and the specified current date. When the date on which the most recent setting change operation was performed and the current date are the same, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies 0 days as the deferred period. For example, when the date on which the most recent setting change operation was performed is September 5, 2018 and the current date is September 5, 2018, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies 0 days as the deferred period. When the date of the most recent setting change operation is different from the current date, the sub-control CPU 41a determines how many days before the date of the most recent setting change operation is earlier than the current date. Identify the deferral period. For example, if the date on which the most recent setting change operation was performed is September 1, 2018 and the current date is September 5, 2018, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the date on which the most recent setting change operation was performed is Is four days before the current date, and thus specifies four days as the deferred period. When the specified deferred period is 0 to 2 days, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine to execute the deferred period suggestion effect. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not decide to execute the deferred period suggestion effect, the deferred period suggestion effect process ends.

  On the other hand, when the specified deferred period is three days or more, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to execute the deferred period suggestion effect with the execution probability corresponding to the deferred period and the currently set value. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the content of the effect of the stationary period suggesting effect at a probability corresponding to the stationary period and the currently set value. For example, when the deferment period is three or four days, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 90%, and determines the second effect content with a probability of 10%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the third and fourth effect contents. For example, when the deferment period is five or six days, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 80%, and determines the second effect content with a probability of 20%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the third and fourth effect contents. For example, if the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is any one of the settings 1 to 5, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second effect content with a probability of 3%, and The third effect content is determined with a probability of%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and fourth effect contents. For example, when the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is set to 6, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second effect content with a probability of 3% and the third effect content with a probability of 94%. The effect contents are determined, and the fourth effect contents are determined with a probability of 3%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the contents of the first effect.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the deferred period suggestion effect, the sub-control CPU 41a terminates the deferred period suggestion effect process, and executes the deferred period suggestion effect with the determined effect content in a process different from the deferred period suggestion effect process. The effect display device 27 is controlled.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a game history effect when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state. Hereinafter, the game history effect will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the game history production is performed by averaging the number of times of the special game executed until one big hit lottery is won in the low probability state and the high probability This is an effect that can specify the number of times of averaging the number of special games executed up to winning one big hit lottery in the state. Hereinafter, "the number of times the number of special games executed until one big hit lottery is won in the low probability state" may be described as the "low probability average game number". Hereinafter, the “number of times the number of special games executed until a single jackpot lottery is won in the high probability state” may be described as the “highly accurate average number of games”.

Subsequently, a game history effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the game start command when the low-probability state flag stores information that can specify the low-probability state, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the game in the low-probability state stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. "1" is added to the number of special games. Hereinafter, the “number of special games executed in the low probability state” may be described as “the number of low-probability games”. When the special symbol identifiable from the symbol command is a big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 41a stores the information in the sub control RAM 41c when the information that can identify the low probability state is stored in the sub probability state flag. The number of low-probability games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is added to the number of low-probability cumulative games performed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a adds “1” to the number of wins of the big hit in the low probability state stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Hereinafter, “the number of times of winning in the large probability in the low probability state” may be described as “the number of times of low probability winning”. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 times as the number of low-probability games in the sub-control RAM 41c, and initializes the number of low-probability games.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the game start command when the sub-probability state flag stores information that can specify the high probability state, the sub control CPU 41a executes the game in the high probability state stored in the sub control RAM 41c. "1" is added to the number of special games. Hereinafter, the “number of special games executed in the high probability state” may be described as the “number of highly accurate games”. When the special symbol identifiable from the symbol command is the big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 41a stores the information in the sub control RAM 41c when the information that can identify the high probability state is stored in the sub probability state flag. The number of highly-accurate games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is added to the number of highly-accurate accumulated games. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a adds “1” to the number of wins of the big hit in the high probability state stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Hereinafter, the “number of times of winning in the jackpot in the high probability state” may be described as the “number of times of high probability winning”. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 as the number of highly accurate games in the sub control RAM 41c, and initializes the number of highly accurate games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current time from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d, and if the current time is a predetermined time (in this embodiment, a game store close time (for example, 23:00)), the sub-control RAM 41c. , It is determined whether the low-probability history information for 10 days is stored. The low-probability history information is information that can specify the number of low-probability cumulative games at a predetermined time, the number of low-probability hits at a predetermined time, and the date. When 10 days of low-probability history information is stored, the sub-control CPU 41a deletes the low-probability history information that can specify the oldest date among the 10 days of low-probability history information. If the low-probability history information is deleted or if it is determined that the low-probability history information for 10 days is not stored, the sub control CPU 41a generates the low-probability cumulative game count, the low-probability hit count, and the RTC 41d. The low-probability history information that can specify the current date specified from the RTC information and the current date is stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 as the low-probability cumulative game count, and initializes the low-probability cumulative game count. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 times as the number of low-probability games, and initializes the number of low-probability games. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 times as the number of low hits, and initializes the number of low hits. The number of low-probability cumulative games specified from the low-probability history information that can specify a date one to ten days before the current date is the number of low-probability cumulative games at a predetermined time one to ten days before. In the following description, the “low-probability cumulative game times from 1 to 10 days before” means the low-probability cumulative game times specified from low-probability history information that can specify a date 1 to 10 days before the current date. I do. In addition, the number of low hits specified from the low-probability history information that can specify a date 1 to 10 days before the current date is the number of low hits at a predetermined time 1 to 10 days before, respectively. In the following description, “the number of low winning hits in 1 to 10 days ago” means the number of low winning hits specified from low-probability history information that can specify a date 1 to 10 days before the current date.

  The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current time from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d, and if the current time is a predetermined time, refers to the sub-control RAM 41c to determine whether 10-day high-accuracy history information is stored. Is determined. The highly accurate history information is information that can specify the number of highly accurate accumulated games at a predetermined time, the number of highly accurate hits at a predetermined time, and the date. When the highly accurate history information for 10 days is stored, the sub-control CPU 41a deletes the highly accurate history information that can specify the oldest date among the highly accurate history information for 10 days. When the high-accuracy history information is deleted or when it is determined that the high-accuracy history information for 10 days is not stored, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the number of highly accurate cumulative games, the number of highly accurate hits, and the RTC 41d. High-precision history information capable of specifying the current date specified from the RTC information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 as the highly-accurate accumulated game number, and initializes the highly-accurate accumulated game number. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 times as the number of highly accurate games, and initializes the number of highly accurate games. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can specify 0 times as the number of highly accurate hits, and initializes the number of highly accurate hits. The number of highly-accurate accumulated games identified from the highly-accurate history information that can identify the date 1 to 10 days before the current date is the number of highly-accurate accumulated games at a predetermined time 1 to 10 days ago, respectively. In the following description, “the most probable cumulative number of games in 1 to 10 days before” means the number of highly probable cumulative games identified from the highly accurate history information that can specify a date 1 to 10 days before the current date. I do. The number of highly successful hits specified from the highly probable history information that can specify a date 1 to 10 days before the current date is the number of highly accurate hits at a predetermined time 1 to 10 days ago, respectively. In the following description, “the number of highly accurate hits 1 to 10 days ago” means the number of highly accurate hits specified from the highly accurate history information that can specify a date 1 to 10 days before the current date.

  When the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the number of low-accuracy hits stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to seven days and the number of low-probability accumulated games from today to seven days are not zero. , A low-probability average number of games calculation process. In the calculation process of the low-probability average game number, the sub-control CPU 41a divides the low-probability cumulative game number from today to 7 days by the low-probability hit number from today to 7 days, respectively, to obtain the low-probability game number from today to 7 days. Calculate the average number of games. For example, if the number of low-probability accumulated games seven days before is 1500 and the number of low-probability hits seven days before is five, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the average number of low-probability games seven days before to “300” (= 1500/5) is calculated. On the other hand, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the low-probability accumulated game count stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is zero once today to seven days ago, Do not calculate a certain average game count. In addition, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub control CPU 41a determines that the number of low-accuracy hits stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to seven days is zero, Do not calculate the average number of games.

  When the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the number of highly accurate hits stored in the sub-control RAM 41c today to seven days ago and the number of highly accurate cumulative games played today to seven days ago are not zero. , A calculation process of the number of highly accurate average games is performed. In the calculation processing of the number of highly accurate average games, the sub-control CPU 41a divides the number of highly accurate accumulated games between today and seven days before by the number of highly accurate hits between today and seven days ago, respectively, to thereby obtain the number of highly accurate games between today and seven days ago. Calculate the average number of games. On the other hand, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the number of highly accurate accumulated games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to seven days is 0, Do not calculate a certain average game count. When the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub control CPU 41a determines that the number of highly accurate hits stored in the sub control RAM 41c from today to seven days before is zero, and Do not calculate the average number of games.

  After calculating the low-probability average game times from today to 7 days before, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to display an image capable of specifying the calculated low-probability average game times from today to 7 days before. After calculating the highly accurate average game times from today to seven days ago, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to display an image capable of specifying the calculated highly accurate average game times from today to seven days ago. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not calculate the low-probability average game times from today to 7 days before, the effect display device displays an image that can specify “−times” as the low-probability average game times from today to 7 days before. 27 is controlled. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not calculate the highly accurate average game times from today to 7 days before, the effect display device displays an image that can specify “−times” as the highly accurate average game times from today to 7 days ago. 27 is controlled.

Here, an example of a mode of estimating the set value will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
In this description, it is assumed that the jackpot probability is determined in the set value as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the jackpot probability is indicated by a unit fraction. In the following description, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 1 is 1/318, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 2 is 1/309, and the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 3 is 1/300. It is assumed that In the following description, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 4 is 1/292, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 5 is 1/284, and the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 6 is 1/277. It is assumed that In the following description, the jackpot probability in the high-probability state of setting 1 is 1/106, the jackpot probability in the high-probability state of setting 2 is 1/103, and the jackpot probability in the high-probability state of setting 3 is 1 / 100. In the following description, the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 4 is 1/97, the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 5 is 1/94, and the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 6 is 1/92. It is assumed that

  First, the first situation will be described. As shown in FIG. 6A, the first situation is a situation in which 285 times as the low-probability average game number today can be specified from the game history effect. In the first situation, in the low probability state, it is possible to specify that one big hit lottery has been won on average for one execution of the 285 special games, so that the big hit probability in the low probability state is represented by a unit fraction. , 1/285 may be estimated. Hereinafter, the “big hit probability in the low probability state estimated from the low-probability average game count” will be described as “low-probability estimated big hit probability”. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the first situation is a situation in which it is possible to specify 95 times as the highly accurate average number of games today from the game history effect. In the first situation, in the high-probability state, it is possible to specify that one big-hit lottery has been won by averaging 95 executions of the special game, so that the big-hit probability in the high-probability state is represented by a unit fraction. , 1/95. Hereinafter, the "big hit probability in the high probability state estimated from the highly accurate average number of games" will be described as the "highly accurate big hit probability".

  Generally, in estimating the currently set value or the set value that has been set, the currently set value or the set value is set based on the number of low-probability average games and the number of high-probability average games. It is possible to guess the setting value. Hereinafter, “the currently set value or the set value that has been set” may be simply referred to as “current or past set value”. When the low-accuracy estimated jackpot probability and the jackpot probability defined in the set value are represented by unit fractions, the value of the numerator of the low-estimated estimated jackpot probability and the value of the numerator of the jackpot probability defined in the set value, Becomes the same. Therefore, it is conceivable to estimate the current or past set value by comparing the value of the denominator of the low-accuracy estimated jackpot probability with the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability set in the set value. In addition, when the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability and the jackpot probability defined in the set value are expressed in unit fractions, the numerator value of the highly-estimated jackpot probability and the numerator value of the jackpot probability defined in the set value And are the same. For this reason, it is conceivable to estimate the current or past set value by comparing the value of the denominator of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability with the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability defined in the set value. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the low probability state defined in the set value includes the same value as the value of the denominator of the low-probability jackpot probability, the current or past set value It is conceivable to estimate a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the low-probability state defined in the set value is within a predetermined range specified from the low-estimation estimated jackpot probability, the current or past setting is performed. As the value, a set value that determines the big hit probability in the low probability state may be estimated. The predetermined range specified from the low-probability estimated jackpot probability indicates a value obtained by subtracting a denominator value of the low-probability estimated jackpot probability by a predetermined value from a value obtained by adding a predetermined value to the denominator value of the low-probability estimated jackpot probability. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the high probability state defined in the set value includes the same value as the value of the denominator of the highly accurate estimated jackpot probability, the current or past set value It is conceivable to estimate a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the high-probability state defined in the set value is within a specific range specified from the highly-estimated estimated jackpot probability, the current or past setting is performed. As a value, it is conceivable to infer a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state. The specific range specified from the highly probable jackpot probability indicates a value from a value obtained by subtracting the denominator value of the highly probable jackpot probability from the specific value to a value obtained by adding a specific value to the denominator value of the highly probable jackpot probability.

  In the following description, the "example player" for estimating the set value will be described. In the illustrated example, if the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the low-probability state defined in the set value falls within the first range specified from the low-probability estimated jackpot probability in principle, the current or past set value A set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state is estimated. The first range indicates a range from a value obtained by subtracting 5 from the value of the denominator of the low-probability jackpot probability to a value obtained by adding 5 to the value of the denominator of the low-probability jackpot probability. In the illustrated example, if the denominator of the jackpot probability in the high-probability state defined in the set value is within the second range specified from the highly-estimated estimated jackpot probability, the current or past set value A set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state is estimated. The second range indicates a range from a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the denominator of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability to a value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the denominator of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability. Then, as will be described in detail later, the exemplary player sets the current or past set value estimated from the low-probability average game count and the current or past set value estimated from the high-probability average game count, and Or, infer past setting values.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 7, the lower limit of the jackpot probability in the low probability state is 1/318. Therefore, when the low-probability estimated jackpot probability is equal to or less than 1/324, the example player estimates a setting 1 that defines 1/318 as the jackpot probability in the low-probability state as the current or past set value. And The upper limit of the jackpot probability in the low probability state is 1/277. For this reason, in the case where the low-probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/271 or more, the example player estimates the setting 6 that defines 1/277 as the jackpot probability in the low-probability state as the current or past set value. And The lower limit of the jackpot probability in the high probability state is 1/106. For this reason, in the case where the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability is equal to or less than 1/108, the example player estimates a setting 1 that sets 1/106 as the jackpot probability in the high-probability state as the current or past set value. And The upper limit of the jackpot probability in the high probability state is 1/92. For this reason, in the case where the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability is 1/90 or more, the example player estimates the setting 6 that sets 1/92 as the jackpot probability in the high-probability state as the current or past set value. And

  In the first situation, since the low-probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/285, the exemplary player sets the jackpot probability in the low-probability state from 1/290 to 1/280 as the currently set value. Estimate the set value. In other words, the exemplary player guesses the setting 5 which sets 1/284 as the big hit probability in the low probability state as the currently set value. In the first situation, since the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability is 1/95, the exemplary player sets the jackpot probability in the high-probability state from 1/96 to 1/94 as the currently set value. Estimate the set value. In other words, the exemplary player infers a setting 5 that defines 1/94 as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the currently set value. The exemplary player infers the setting 5 from the low-probability average game number and the setting 5 from the high-probability average game number, and infers the setting 5 as the currently set value.

  The first situation is a situation in which 314 times and 105 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history effect as the low-probability average game times one day ago and the high-probability average game times one day ago. In the first situation, in the low-probability state one day ago, it is possible to specify that one hit has been won in one big hit lottery for the execution of 314 special games. It becomes 1/314. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/319 to 1/309 as the set value set one day ago. That is, the example player sets 1/318 as the big hit probability in the low probability state as the set value set one day ago, and 1/309 as the big hit probability in the low probability state. Guess 2 In the first situation, in the high-probability state one day ago, it is possible to specify that one hit has been won in one jackpot lottery for the execution of 105 special games. It becomes 1/105. Thus, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/106 to 1/104 as the set value that was set one day ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers the setting 1 that is set to 1/106 as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value that was set one day ago. The example player estimates the setting 1 and the setting 2 from the low-probability average game number, and estimates the setting 1 from the high-probability average game number. When the setting 1 and the setting 2 have been set one day ago, Guess which one. At this time, the exemplary player estimates, as the set value that was set one day ago, a setting 1 that is a set value estimated from the low-probability average game count and a set value estimated from the high-probability average game count. Shall be.

  Then, in the first situation, for example, when a change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the change amount of the set value is “2” or more. The exemplary player infers that setting 5 has been changed as the currently set value and that setting 1 has been guessed as the setting value that was set one day ago, so that the setting value has advantageously changed. Can also be considered. For the exemplary player guessed in this way, the expectation that the currently set value is a more advantageous set value can be increased.

  In the first situation, for example, when the effect suggesting the amount of change in the fourth effect content is executed, it is specified that the set value has changed advantageously and that the amount of change in the set value is “4” or “5”. it can. Then, the change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content indicates that when the set value changes advantageously, the change amount of the set value is “5” rather than when the change amount of the set value is “4”. It is easier to execute. The exemplary player guessed the setting 5 as the currently set value, and guessed the setting 1 as the set value that was set one day ago. It is also conceivable to infer the setting 6 as the currently set value. For the exemplary player guessed in this way, the expectation that the currently set value is the setting 6 can be increased.

  The first situation is a situation where 310 times and 102 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history effect as the low-probability average game number two days ago and the high-probability average game number two days ago. In the first situation, in the low-probability state two days before, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery has been won on average for 310 special games, so the low-probability estimated jackpot probability two days ago is: It becomes 1/310. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/315 to 1/305 as the set value set two days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers, as the set value set two days before, the setting 2 in which 1/309 is determined as the big hit probability in the low probability state. In the first situation, in the high-probability state two days ago, it is possible to specify that one big hit lottery has been won on average for 102 executions of the special game. It is 1/102. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/103 to 1/101 as the set value set two days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers the setting 2 that has set 1/103 as the big hit probability in the high probability state, as the set value set two days ago. The exemplary player estimates the setting 2 from the low-probability average game count and the setting 2 from the high-probability average game count, and estimates the setting 2 as the setting value set two days ago.

  The first situation is a situation in which 311 times and 102 times as the low-probability average game times three days ago and the high-probability average game times three days ago can be specified from the game history effect. In the first situation, in the low-probability state three days ago, it can be specified that one big hit lottery has been won on average for the execution of 311 special games. 1/311. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/316 to 1/306 as the set value set three days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers a setting 2 that sets 1/309 as the big hit probability in the low probability state as the set value set three days ago. In the first situation, in the high-probability state three days ago, it is possible to specify that the winning has been achieved in one big hit lottery for 102 executions of the special game. It is 1/102. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/103 to 1/101 as the set value set three days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers a setting 2 in which 1/103 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set three days ago. The exemplary player infers setting 2 from the number of low-probability average games and guess setting 2 from the number of high-probability average games, and infers setting 2 as the setting value set three days ago.

  The first situation is a situation in which 290 times and 96 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history effect as the low-probability average game number four days ago and the high-probability average game number four days ago. In the first situation, in the low-probability state four days ago, it is possible to specify that one hit has been won in one jackpot lottery for the execution of 290 special games. 1/290. Thus, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the big hit probability in the low probability state from 1/295 to 1/285 as the set value set four days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers, as the set value that was set four days ago, the setting 4 that set 1/292 as the big hit probability in the low probability state. In the first situation, in the high-probability state four days ago, it is possible to specify that one large hit lottery has been won on average for 96 special game executions. 1/96. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/97 to 1/95 as the set value set four days ago. In other words, the exemplary player estimates a setting 4 in which 1/97 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set four days ago. The exemplary player infers setting 4 from the low-probability average number of games and estimates setting 4 from the high-probability average number of games, and infers setting 4 as the setting value set four days ago.

  The first situation is a situation in which 291 times and 96 times, respectively, of the low-probability average game count and the high-probability average game count five days ago can be specified from the game history effect. In the first situation, in the low-probability state five days ago, it can be specified that one big hit lottery has been won on average for the execution of 291 special games. 1/291. Therefore, as an example, the player infers a set value that sets the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/296 to 1/286 as the set value set five days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers, as the set value set five days ago, a setting 4 in which 1/292 is determined as the big hit probability in the low probability state. In the first situation, in the high-probability state five days ago, it is possible to specify that one large hit lottery has been won on average for the execution of 96 special games. 1/96. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high-probability state from 1/97 to 1/95 as the set value set five days ago. In other words, the exemplary player estimates a setting 4 in which 1/97 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set five days ago. The exemplary player estimates the setting 4 from the low-probability average game count and the setting 4 from the high-probability average game count, and estimates the setting 4 as the setting value set five days ago.

  The first situation is a situation in which 297 times and 100 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history effect as the low-probability average number of games six days ago and the high-probability average number of games six days ago. In the first situation, in the low-probability state six days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery has been won on average for the execution of 297 special games, so the low-probability estimated jackpot probability six days ago is: 1/297. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/302 to 1/292 as the set value set six days ago. That is, as an example, the setting value that was set six days ago is a setting 3 that sets 1/300 as the big hit probability in the low probability state and a setting that sets 1/292 as the big hit probability in the low probability state. Guess 4 In the first situation, in the high-probability state six days ago, it is possible to specify that one big hit lottery has been won on average for 100 special game runs. It becomes 1/100. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/101 to 1/99 as the set value set six days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers, as the set value set six days ago, the setting 3 in which 1/100 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state. The example player estimates the setting 3 and the setting 4 from the low-probability average game number, and estimates the setting 3 from the high-probability average game number. When the setting 3 and the setting 4 have been set six days ago, Guess which one. At this time, the exemplary player supposes, as the set value set six days ago, a setting value estimated from the low-probability average game times and a setting value 3 estimated from the high-probability average game times. I do.

  The first situation is a situation where 310 times and 102 times as the low-probability average game times and the high-probability average game times seven days ago can be specified from the game history effect. In the first situation, in the low-probability state seven days ago, it is possible to specify that the winning has been achieved in one big hit lottery for 310 special game executions. It becomes 1/310. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the big hit probability in the low probability state from 1/315 to 1/305 as the set value set seven days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers, as the set value set seven days ago, the setting 2 in which 1/309 is set as the big hit probability in the low probability state. In the first situation, in the high-probability state seven days ago, it is possible to specify that one big hit lottery has been won on average for 102 special game executions. It is 1/102. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high-probability state from 1/103 to 1/101 as the set value set seven days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers the setting 2 that sets 1/13 as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the set value set seven days ago. The exemplary player estimates the setting 2 from the low-probability average game count and the setting 2 from the high-probability average game count, and estimates the setting 2 as the setting value set seven days ago.

  Then, assuming the set value set 1 to 7 days ago, the exemplary player estimates "2.57 ..." (= (1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 2) as the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago. / 7).

  Then, in the first situation, for example, when the setting history effect of the first effect content is executed, it is possible to specify that the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago is less than “3”. For this reason, the exemplary player who has estimated the set value set 1 to 7 days ago can be made to confirm the accuracy of the estimation of the set value set 1 to 7 days ago. Since the exemplary player guessed “2.57...” As the average of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago, the accuracy of the estimation of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago is We can confirm that it is high. As described above, when the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago estimated by the example player is less than “3”, the example player sets the value set 1 to 7 days ago. It can be confirmed that the accuracy of the value estimation is high. By the way, when the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago estimated by the example player is “3” or more, the example player sets the average of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago. It can be confirmed that the estimation accuracy is low. When the example player confirms that the accuracy of the estimation is low, the player estimates the accuracy of the setting value set 1 to 7 days ago by re-estimating the setting value set 1 to 7 days ago. Can be increased.

  In the first situation, for example, when the setting history effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago. For this reason, the exemplary player who has estimated the set value set 1 to 7 days ago can be made to confirm the accuracy of the estimation based on the setting 6 being set 1 to 7 days ago. The illustrated player can confirm that the accuracy of the estimation of the set value set 1 to 7 days ago is low because the set value set 1 to 7 days ago is not set to 6. When the player of the example confirms that the accuracy of the estimation of the set value set 1 to 7 days ago is low, the player re-estimates the set value set 1 to 7 days ago to obtain 1 to 7 days. It is possible to increase the accuracy of estimating the set value that was set the day before. For example, the exemplary player estimates the setting 4 as the setting value that was set four days ago, and then specifies that the setting 6 was set one to seven days ago, and sets the setting four days ago. It is also conceivable that the set value that has been set is guessed again, and the setting 6 is guessed as the set value set four days ago. By the way, if the specified player specifies that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago, and the setting 6 set to the estimated value set 1 to 7 days ago is 1 to 7 It can be confirmed that the accuracy of the estimation of the set value set the day before is high.

  Next, the second situation will be described. In the second situation, in the low probability state of the present day, it is possible to specify that the winning has been achieved by averaging one big hit lottery for the execution of the 290 special games. 290. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/295 to 1/285 as the currently set value. In other words, the exemplary player infers a setting 4 in which 1/292 is determined as the big hit probability in the low probability state as the currently set value. In the first situation, in the high probability state of the present day, it is possible to specify that one of the 96 special games has been executed and that the winning has been achieved in one big hit lottery. Therefore, the highly probable estimated big hit probability of today is 1 / 96. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/97 to 1/95 as the currently set value. In other words, the exemplary player infers the setting 4 that sets 1/97 as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the currently set value. The exemplary player infers the setting 4 from the low-probability average game number and the setting 4 from the high-probability average game number, and infers the setting 4 as the currently set value.

  The second situation is a situation where it is possible to specify 291 times and 98 times as the low-probability average game times one day ago and the high-probability average game number one day ago, respectively, from the game history effect. The probability is 1/291, and the probability of high-accuracy estimation jackpot one day before is 1/98. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/296 to 1/286 as the set value set one day ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers a setting 4 in which 1/292 is determined as the big hit probability in the low probability state, as the set value set one day ago. In addition, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/99 to 1/97 as the set value that was set one day ago. In other words, the exemplary player infers a setting 4 in which 1/97 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set one day ago. The exemplary player estimates the setting 4 from the low-probability average game count and the setting 4 from the high-probability average game count, and estimates the setting 4 as the setting value set one day ago.

  The second situation is a situation in which 253 times and 93 times as the low-probability average number of games two days ago and the high-probability average number of games two days ago can be specified from the game history production, respectively. The probability becomes 1/253, and the highly-accurate estimated jackpot probability two days before becomes 1/93. Therefore, as an example, the player infers a setting 6 in which 1/277 is set as the big hit probability in the low probability state, as the set value set two days ago. In addition, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/94 to 1/92 as the set value set two days ago. That is, as an example player, the setting value which was set two days ago is set at 1/94 as the jackpot probability in the high probability state and the setting at 1/92 as the jackpot probability in the high probability state. Guess 6. The exemplary player infers the setting 6 from the low-probability average game number and the setting 5 and the setting 6 from the high-probability average game number, and determines the setting value and the setting 6 as the setting values set two days ago. Guess which one. At this time, the exemplary player supposes, as the set value set two days ago, a set value estimated from the low-probability average game count and a setting 6 estimated from the high-probability average game count. I do.

  The second situation is a situation in which it is possible to specify 301 times and 99 times as the low-probability average number of games three days ago and the high-probability average number of games three days ago, respectively, from the game history effect. The probability becomes 1/301, and the highly accurate estimated jackpot probability three days ago becomes 1/99. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/306 to 1/296 as the set value set three days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers a setting 3 in which 1/300 is determined as the big hit probability in the low probability state, as the set value set three days ago. In addition, the illustrated player infers, as the set value set three days ago, a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/100 to 1/98. In other words, the illustrated player infers a setting 3 in which 1/100 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set three days ago. The exemplary player infers setting 3 from the number of low-probability average games and guess setting 3 from the number of high-probability average games, and infers setting 3 as the setting value set three days ago.

  The second situation is a situation in which it is possible to specify 290 times and 96 times as the low-probability average number of games four days ago and the high-probability average number of games four days ago, respectively, from the game history production. The probability is 1/290, and the probability of a highly-estimated jackpot four days before is 1/96. Thus, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the big hit probability in the low probability state from 1/295 to 1/285 as the set value set four days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers, as the set value that was set four days ago, the setting 4 that set 1/292 as the big hit probability in the low probability state. In addition, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high-probability state from 1/97 to 1/95 as the set value set four days ago. In other words, the exemplary player estimates a setting 4 in which 1/97 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set four days ago. The exemplary player infers setting 4 from the low-probability average number of games and estimates setting 4 from the high-probability average number of games, and infers setting 4 as the setting value set four days ago.

  The second situation is a situation in which it is possible to specify 295 times and 101 times as the low-probability average number of games 5 days ago and the high-probability average number of games 5 days ago, respectively, from the game history effect. The probability becomes 1/295, and the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability five days ago becomes 1/101. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/300 to 1/290 as the set value set five days ago. That is, as an example player, the setting 3 that was set 5 days ago was set to 1/300 as the jackpot probability in the low probability state, and the setting was set to 1/292 as the jackpot probability in the low probability state. Guess 4 The exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/102 to 1/100 as the set value set five days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers a setting 3 in which 1/100 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set five days ago. The exemplary player estimates the setting 3 and the setting 4 from the low-probability average game number, and estimates the setting 3 from the high-probability average game number. When the setting 3 and the setting 4 are set five days ago, Guess which one. At this time, the exemplary player supposes, as the set value set five days ago, a setting value estimated from the low-probability average game times and a setting value 3 estimated from the high-probability average game times. I do.

  The second situation is a situation where it is possible to specify 295 times and 96 times as the low-probability average number of games before 6 days and the high-probability average number of games 6 days ago from the game history production, respectively. The probability is 1/295, and the probability of a highly-estimated jackpot six days before is 1/96. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/300 to 1/290 as the set value set six days ago. That is, as an example, the setting value that was set six days ago is a setting 3 that sets 1/300 as the big hit probability in the low probability state and a setting that sets 1/292 as the big hit probability in the low probability state. Guess 4 In addition, the illustrated player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high-probability state from 1/97 to 1/95 as the set value set six days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers a setting 4 in which 1/97 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set six days ago. The example player estimates the setting 3 and the setting 4 from the low-probability average game number, and estimates the setting 4 from the high-probability average game number. When the setting 3 and the setting 4 have been set six days ago, Guess which one. At this time, the exemplary player supposes, as the set value set six days ago, the setting value estimated from the low-probability average game times and the setting value 4 estimated from the high-probability average game times. I do.

  The second situation is a situation in which 300 times and 99 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history effect as the low-probability average number of games 7 days ago and the high-probability average number of games 7 days ago. The probability is 1/300, and the highly-accurate estimated jackpot probability seven days ago is 1/99. Therefore, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/305 to 1/295 as the set value set seven days ago. In other words, the illustrated player infers a setting 3 in which 1/300 is set as the big hit probability in the low probability state, as the set value set seven days ago. In addition, the exemplary player estimates a set value that determines the jackpot probability in the high-probability state from 1/100 to 1/98 as the set value set seven days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers a setting 3 in which 1/100 is determined as the jackpot probability in the high probability state, as the set value set seven days ago. The exemplary player infers the setting 3 from the low-probability average game count and the setting 3 from the high-probability average game count, and infers the setting 3 as the setting value set seven days ago.

  As described above, the exemplary player estimates the currently set value and the set value that was set one to seven days ago, and determines the deferred period, the deferred set value, Guess. The exemplary player determines that the deferred period is 7 days and the deferred setting value is set from the guessed current setting value and the guessed setting value set one to seven days before. It is assumed that it is one of the setting 3 and the setting 4.

  Then, in the second situation, for example, when the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed, it is possible to specify that the deferred period is likely to be three or four days. For this reason, the exemplary player who has estimated the deferment period can be made to confirm the accuracy of the estimation. The example player has estimated seven days as the deferred period, and thus can confirm that the accuracy of the estimation is low. If the example player confirms that the accuracy of the guess is low, the player can increase the accuracy of the guess by guessing the stationary period again. The exemplary player has assumed the deferred period again and has assumed that the deferred period is three days. In this case, the exemplary player may also guess the deferred setting value based on the setting value estimated from the low-probability average game times from today to three days ago and the high-probability average game times from today to three days ago. Conceivable. In this way, the exemplary player can select the information necessary to infer the deferred setting value.

  In a game arcade, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is installed in an island facility. In the island facilities, a data counter may be arranged above the pachinko gaming machine 10 in some cases. The data counter is also called a data ramp. Generally, the data counter receives an external signal transmitted from the pachinko gaming machine 10 and reports information based on the external signal. Some data counters can report information that can specify the low-probability average game times and the high-probability average game times. The player estimates the currently set value or the set value that was set 1 to 7 days ago from the low-probability average game times and the high-probability average game times specified from the information notified by the data counter. It is also possible. Some data counters can report information that can specify the number of low-probability cumulative games, the number of low-probability hits, the number of high-probability cumulative games, and the number of high-probability hits. The player sets the currently set value or the set value from the number of low-probability cumulative games, the number of low-probability hits, the number of high-probability cumulative games, and the number of high-probability hits specified from the information notified by the data counter. It is conceivable to guess the set value that has been set. In this case, the player may calculate the low-probability average game number from the low-probability cumulative game number and the low-probability hit number, and calculate the high-probability average game number from the high-probability cumulative game number and the high-probability hit number. . Then, the player may guess the currently set value or the set value that has been set from the calculated number of low-probability average games and the calculated number of high-probability average games.

As described above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Since the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the jackpot probability (the degree of advantage relating to the special game) in the high probability state differ depending on the set value set, the set value is of interest to the player. It is a high thing. Therefore, a change amount suggestion effect (special effect) is executed according to the currently set value and the set value set before the currently set value. As a result, the player's interest in both the currently set value and the set value set before the currently set value can be increased. Then, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of estimating the set value according to both the currently set value and the set value that was set before the currently set value. , Can enhance interest.

  (2) The execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect (special effect) is higher when the change from the predetermined set value is advantageous by the predetermined change amount than when the change is disadvantageously changed from the predetermined set value by the predetermined change amount. For this reason, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to increase the willingness to continue the game while expecting that the set value has changed advantageously, thereby improving the interest.

  (3) A change suggestion effect is produced when the predetermined set value is advantageously changed by the second change amount larger than the first change amount from the predetermined set value more advantageously than by the first change amount. (Special production) execution probability is high. For this reason, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to increase the desire to continue the game while expecting that the set value is large and changed advantageously, and to improve the interest. .

  (4) The set value is advantageously changed by performing the change suggestion effect (special effect) in the fourth effect content (specific effect content), and the change amount is 4 or 5 (specific change amount). Can be identified. As a result, it is possible to give the player a pleasure of estimating the set value in accordance with the advantageous change of the set value and the specific change amount, and it is possible to improve interest.

  (5) A deferred period suggested effect (specific effect) is executed according to the deferred period (period during which the setting change operation is not performed). Thus, in addition to the set value itself, it is possible to give a pleasure of estimating the set value according to the deferred period while increasing interest in the deferred period, thereby improving interest.

  (6) The second set value that is more advantageous than the first set value over the predetermined period is set, as compared with the case where the setting change operation is not performed while the first set value is set over the predetermined period. When the setting change operation is not performed as it is, the execution probability of the deferred period suggested effect (specific effect) is higher. For this reason, when the deferred period suggestion effect (specific effect) is executed, it is determined that there is a high possibility that the setting change operation is not performed while the advantageous second setting value is set over the predetermined period. While giving the pleasure of estimating the set value, it is possible to expect that the advantageous second set value is set, thereby improving the interest.

  (7) A case where the setting change operation is not performed over a period longer than the length of the special period, as compared with a case where the setting change operation is not performed over a period shorter than the length of the special period. The execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect (specific effect) is higher. For this reason, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to give a pleasure of estimating the setting value in accordance with the fact that the setting change operation has not been performed for a period longer than the length of the special period. Furthermore, when the deferred period suggestion effect is performed, it is highly likely that the setting change operation has not been performed for a period longer than the length of the special period, so that more information about the set value is given to the player. It can be easier and more interesting.

  (8) The setting 6 (special setting value) is set over the period equal to or longer than the special period by executing the deferred period suggesting stage (specific stage) in the fourth stage (special stage). Since it is possible to specify that the setting change operation is not performed as it is, more information about the set value can be given to the player, and the interest can be improved.

  (9) Setting history effect according to the information (history information, first information) that can specify the history of the setting value set 1 to 7 days (specific period) before the currently set value. (Predetermined effect) is executed. As a result, it is possible to give the player a pleasure of estimating the set value according to the history while increasing interest in the history of the set value set 1 to 7 days ago, and improve interest.

  (10) When the setting history effect (predetermined effect) is executed in the fourth effect content (special effect content), the setting value is set according to that setting 6 (special setting value) was set 1 to 7 days ago. Can be given to the player, and the interest can be improved.

  (11) The setting history effect (predetermined effect) of the fourth effect content (special effect content) is that the number of times that setting 6 (special setting value) was set 1 to 7 days before (specific period) is 1 (first effect). It is easier to execute when it is specified that the number of times the setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days ago is two or more times (second number) than when it is specified that the number is (number of times). Therefore, by executing the setting history effect with the fourth effect content, the number of times that setting 6 has been set 1 to 7 days ago is two or more times, that is, it is highly possible that the number of times is larger. The player can be given a pleasure of estimating the set value, thereby improving interest.

  (12) A setting history effect (predetermined effect) is executed in accordance with the average value of the set values set one to seven days ago (specific period). As a result, it is possible to give the player a pleasure of estimating the set value according to the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago, and it is possible to improve interest.

  (13) Since the setting history effect (predetermined effect) is executed in accordance with the information that can specify the history of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago and the currently set value, the setting is performed. More data about the value can be given to the player, and the interest can be improved.

  (14) On the basis of the set value set one to seven days before, which is estimated from the low-probability average game count and the high-probability average game count, and the change amount of the set value specified by the change suggestion effect, The currently set value can be estimated. In addition, it is deferred based on the set value that was set one to seven days before, which was estimated from the low-probability average game count and the high-probability average game count, and the deferment period specified by the deferred period suggestion effect. The set value, that is, the currently set value can be estimated. In general, the player's interest in the set value set one to seven days ago is likely to be lower than the player's interest in the currently set value. Therefore, since the currently set value can be estimated based on the set value set 1 to 7 days ago, the player's interest in the set value set 1 to 7 days ago can be increased. Thus, the currently set value can be estimated, and the interest can be improved.

  (15) The set value that was set one to seven days ago, which was estimated from the low-probability average game count and the high-probability average game count, and the set value that was set one to seven days before specified by the setting history effect Based on the average value, it is possible to increase the accuracy of estimating the set value that was set one to seven days ago. In addition, the setting value that was set 1 to 7 days before estimated from the number of low-probability average games and the number of high-probability average games, and the setting 6 that was set 1 to 7 days before specified by the setting history effect Based on the above, it is possible to improve the accuracy of estimating the set value set 1 to 7 days ago.

This embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The present embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
-The setting history effect does not have to be executed according to the currently set value, and the setting history effect is the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago and the special value 1 to 7 days ago. You may comprise so that it may be performed according to at least one of the number of times the set value was set.

  ・ The effect of the change-indicating effect is not executed when the change amount from the predetermined set value by the predetermined change amount so as to reduce the jackpot probability is changed, and is changed by the predetermined change amount from the predetermined set value so as to increase the big hit probability. In this case, there may be predetermined effect contents that can be executed. According to this, by executing the change amount suggestion effect with the predetermined effect contents, it is possible to specify that the change has been made by the predetermined amount of change from the predetermined set value so that the big hit probability is increased. As described above, it is possible to specify that the predetermined set value has changed by the predetermined change amount so as to increase the probability of the big hit, thereby increasing the desire to continue the game and improving the interest.

  -As the effect content of the effect suggesting a change amount, the effect is not executed when the first change amount has changed from the predetermined set value so that the big hit probability is increased, and the predetermined change value is changed from the predetermined set value to the first change amount so as to increase the big hit probability. There may be special effect contents that can be executed when the second change amount is larger than the second change amount. According to this, the change amount suggestion effect is executed in the special effect contents, and the change from the predetermined set value by the second change amount larger than the first change amount is performed so that the jackpot probability becomes higher. Can be identified. As described above, it is possible to specify that the game has greatly changed from the predetermined set value so as to increase the jackpot probability, thereby increasing the motivation to continue the game and improving the interest.

  • A change from the predetermined set value by a second change amount larger than the first change amount so that the jackpot probability becomes lower than when the big change probability is reduced from the predetermined set value by the first change amount so as to be lower. The time may be configured so that the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is higher. According to this, when the special effect is executed, it is possible to cause the player to specify that there is a high possibility that the jackpot probability has greatly changed so as to be disadvantageous for the player.

  When the set value has changed, the sub-control RAM 41c may be configured to store information (hereinafter, referred to as change history information) that can specify the history of the change in the set value. The change history information may be information that can specify the date and time when the set value has changed and the set value after the change. Then, the change amount of the set value is specified from the change history information that specifies the newest date as the date when the set value has changed, and the change history information that specifies the second new date, and the specified change amount May be configured to execute a change amount suggestion effect according to. As described above, the change amount of the set value is specified by the change history information, and the change history information corresponds to the second information. According to this, while increasing the player's interest in the amount of change in the set value specified by the change history information, it is possible to give the player a pleasure of estimating the set value in accordance with the amount of change in the set value. Can be improved. Further, from the change history information in which the newest date is specified as the date when the set value has changed, and the RTC information in which the current date is specified, the deferment period is specified, and the deferment period suggestion is made according to the specified deferment period. You may be comprised so that an effect may be performed. According to this, while increasing the player's interest in the stationary period specified by the change history information and the RTC information, it is possible to give the player a pleasure of estimating the set value according to the stationary period, thereby improving interest. Can be done.

  The sub-control RAM 41c is configured to store, when the set value changes, information that can specify the set value before the change and information that can specify the set value after the change as predetermined information. Is also good. Then, from the information that can specify the set value before the change and the information that can specify the set value after the change, the change in the set value that is the difference between the set value before the change and the set value after the change The amount may be specified, and a change amount suggestion effect may be executed in accordance with the change amount of the specified set value. According to this, from the information capable of specifying the set value before the change and the information capable of specifying the set value after the change, the set value is increased while increasing the player's interest in the amount of change of the specified set value. Can be given to the player to have fun estimating the set value according to the amount of change in the game, and the interest can be improved.

  • A change from the predetermined set value by a first change amount smaller than the second change amount so as to increase the jackpot probability, as compared with a case where the big change probability is increased by a second change amount from the predetermined set value so as to increase the big hit probability. In such a case, it may be configured such that the execution probability of the change suggestion effect is higher. In addition, a case where the first change amount is changed from the predetermined set value so that the jackpot probability is increased, and a case where the second change amount is larger than the first change amount is changed from the predetermined set value so that the big hit probability is increased. The configuration may be such that the execution probabilities of the change suggestion effects are the same in the case and the case.

  -The execution probability of the change suggestion effect is greater when the change from the predetermined set value by a predetermined amount of change such that the big hit probability is lower than when the change from the predetermined value by a predetermined amount of change from the predetermined set value to increase the big hit probability. May be configured to be high. Also, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is based on the case where the predetermined change amount is changed from the predetermined set value so that the big hit probability is increased, and the case where the predetermined change amount is changed from the predetermined set value so that the big hit probability is reduced. May be configured to be the same.

  The change suggestion effect may be an effect that can specify that the set value has changed so that the jackpot probability increases. In this case, it can be said that the special effect is an effect that can specify that the set value has changed so as to increase the jackpot probability. The change suggestion effect may be an effect that can specify that the set value has changed such that the jackpot probability is low. In this case, it can be said that the special effect is an effect that can specify that the set value has changed such that the jackpot probability is low.

  The change amount suggestion effect may not be executed during the ending period of the big hit game. For example, the effect may be executed during the opening period or may be executed during the round game. Also, for example, the change amount suggestion effect may be configured to be executed during a special game.

  -The effect content of the effect for the deferred period suggestion is not executed when the setting change operation is not performed while the first setting value is set for the predetermined period, while the second setting value is set for the predetermined period. There may be specific effect contents that can be executed when the setting change operation is not performed while being performed. According to this, by performing the deferred period suggestion effect with the specific effect content, it is possible to specify that the setting change operation has not been performed while the second setting value has been set for a predetermined period. More data can be given to the player, and interest can be improved.

  ・ If the setting change operation has not been performed for a period that is shorter than the length of the special period, the effect contents of the production for the deferred period suggestion will not be executed, and will not be executed for the period longer than the special period. There may be predetermined effect contents that can be executed when the setting change operation is not performed. According to this, the deferred period suggestion effect is executed with the predetermined effect contents, and the enjoyment of estimating the setting value in accordance with the fact that the setting change operation has not been performed for a period longer than the special period is enjoyed. Can be given. Furthermore, when the effect of suggesting a deferred period is performed, since the setting change operation is not performed for a period longer than the special period, the setting change operation is performed for a period shorter than the special period. As compared with the case where no setting is made, more data on the set value can be easily given to the player, and the interest can be improved.

  -The case where the setting change operation is not performed over a period shorter than the length of the special period is better than the case where the setting change operation is not performed over the period longer than the length of the special period. You may comprise so that the execution probability of a deferred period suggestion effect may be high. The deferred period between the case where the setting change operation is not performed for a period longer than the length of the special period and the case where the setting change operation is not performed for a period shorter than the length of the special period You may comprise so that the execution probability of a suggestion effect may become the same.

  A second set value that sets a jackpot probability higher than the first set value over a predetermined period is set, compared to a case where the setting change operation is not performed while the first set value is set over a predetermined period. It may be configured such that when the setting change operation is not performed as it is, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is lower. In addition, when the setting change operation is not performed while the first set value is set for the predetermined period, and when the second set value that defines the jackpot probability higher than the first set value for the predetermined period is set. The execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect may be the same as when the setting change operation is not performed as it is.

  -The production contents of the production suggesting the deferred period include production contents that can specify that the deferred period is 7 days or more, but is not limited to this. The production content of the deferred period suggesting production may include production content that can specify that the deferred period is 1 to 6 days.

Further, for example, the stationary period suggestion effect may be configured to be executed during a special game.

  After performing the history information storage process performed at a predetermined time, calculate the average value of the set values set in the first to seventh days, and store information that can specify the calculated average value of the set values. May be configured. Then, the setting history effect is executed according to the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago, which is specified from the information that can specify the average value of the setting values set 1 to 7 days ago. May be configured.

  -The setting history of the fourth production content is more effective when the special setting value is set 1 to 7 days ago than when the special setting value is set 1 to 7 days ago. The first number may be configured to be more easily executed.

  The setting history effect does not have to be executed during the opening period of the big hit game, and may be configured to be executed during the round game, or may be configured to be executed during the ending period. . Also, for example, the setting history effect may be configured to be executed during a special game.

  In the embodiment, history information capable of specifying the set value set 1 to 10 days ago is stored, and among the stored history information, the set value set for a specific period (1 to 7 days ago) is stored. The setting history effect is executed according to the identifiable history information, but is not limited to this. The sub control RAM 41c may be configured to store history information that can specify a set value set in a specific period. When the setting history effect is configured to be executed in accordance with the history information capable of specifying the set value set in the period shorter than the specific period, the sub control RAM 41c sets the setting value in the period shorter than the specific period. It may be configured to store history information that can specify the set value that has been set.

  -The game history effect may be configured to be executed when controlled to the standby state, or may be configured to be executed when a specific time has elapsed after being controlled to the standby state. Further, the game history effect does not have to be executed in the standby state, and may be configured to be executed during a special game, or may be configured to be executed during a big hit game.

  -The mode of the change suggestion effect may be configured to be selectable. That is, the mode of the change suggestion effect may be configured to be customizable. In this case, it may be configured to present a selectable option as a mode of the change suggestion effect. Then, when the option is presented, the mode of the change suggestion effect may be selectable by operating the operation means. For example, the operation unit may be one or more of an operation button BT, a setting operation unit, and an operation unit different from the operation button BT and the setting operation unit. Moreover, you may be comprised so that the execution probability of a change amount suggestion effect can be selected as a mode of a change amount suggestion effect. For example, a plurality of types of execution probabilities may be presented as the execution probabilities of the change suggestion effects, and any of the presented plurality of types of execution probabilities may be selectable. Further, for example, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect corresponding to the change amount of the set value and whether the set value has changed advantageously or disadvantageously may be configured to be selectable. As a mode of the change suggestion effect, the probability that the effect content of the change amount suggestion effect is determined may be selectable. For example, when the change amount of the set value is “5”, the probability that the content of the fourth effect is determined may be selectable.

  The configuration of the setting history effect may be configured to be selectable. That is, the mode of the setting history effect may be configured to be customizable. In this case, it may be configured to present options that can be selected as the setting history effect mode. Then, when the option is presented, the configuration of the setting history effect may be selectable by operating the operation means. For example, the operation unit may be one or more of an operation button BT, a setting operation unit, and an operation unit different from the operation button BT and the setting operation unit. As a mode of the setting history effect, the execution probability of the setting history effect may be configured to be selectable. For example, a plurality of execution probabilities may be presented as the execution probabilities of the setting history effects, and any of the presented plurality of execution probabilities may be selectable. As a mode of the setting history effect, a probability that the effect content of the setting history effect is determined may be selectable. For example, when the average value of the set values is a specific value (for example, a value equal to or more than “4.5”), the probability that the third effect content is determined may be selectable. Further, a specific value may be configured to be selectable.

  -You may comprise so that the aspect of a deferred period suggestion effect can be selected. That is, the mode of the deferred period suggestion effect may be configured to be customizable. In this case, it may be configured to present an option that can be selected as an aspect of the deferred period suggestion effect. Then, when the option is presented, the mode of the stationary period suggested effect may be selectable by operating the operation means. For example, the operation unit may be one or more of an operation button BT, a setting operation unit, and an operation unit different from the operation button BT and the setting operation unit. As an aspect of the deferred period suggestion effect, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect may be selectable. For example, a plurality of execution probabilities may be presented as the execution probabilities of the deferred period effect, and any of the presented plurality of execution probabilities may be selectable. Also, for example, the execution probabilities of the deferred period suggestion effects corresponding to the deferred period and the currently set value may be configured to be selectable. As a mode of the deferred period suggestion effect, the probability that the effect content of the deferred period suggestion effect is determined may be selectable. For example, when the deferred period is a special period (for example, 7 days or more), the probability that the fourth effect content is determined may be selectable. Further, the special period may be selectable.

  In the embodiment, the history information storage process is performed when the current time is the closing time of the game store (for example, 23:00), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the configuration may be such that the history information storage processing is performed when the current time is 15:00. In this case, 15:00 corresponds to the predetermined time.
