  Next, the game board unit YU will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. The game board unit YU has a game board 1 and an effect unit 1U attached to the back side of the game board 1. First, the game board 1 will be described. The game board 1 is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate. An opening 1A having a substantially circular shape in a front view is formed substantially in the center of the game board 1. Along the opening 1A, a substantially ring-shaped inner wall portion 1B for defining a game area 6 in which game balls can flow down is formed to protrude forward. A substantially ring-shaped outer wall 1C for defining the game area 6 is also formed outside the inner wall 1B so as to protrude forward.

  On the front surface of the game board 1, a game area 6 surrounded by an inner wall 1B, an outer wall 1C and the like is formed. That is, the front surface of the game board 1 is partitioned into the game area 6 and the other area by the inner wall 1B and the outer wall 1C.

  The game area 6 is an area where a game ball fired by operating the handle 72k can flow down, and is provided for playing a game with the pachinko game machine PY1. In the game area 6, a number of game nails (not shown) are protruded. The game nails enter the game area 6 and flow down the game area 6 to a game ball, and a first starting port 11, a second starting port 12, a general winning port 10, a gate 13, a first large winning port 14, In addition, a route for appropriately leading to the second special winning opening 15 or the like is configured.

  In the game area 6, a first starting winning device 11D in which a first starting port 11 in which a game ball can enter is formed, and a second starting winning that enables or disables entering a ball in the second starting port 12. And a device (a so-called “electric chew”) 12D.

  The first start winning device 11D is immobile. Therefore, the first starting port 11 is constant (unchanged) without changing the ease of entering the game ball. The winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 is determined by a lottery of a first special symbol (hereinafter, referred to as "special figure 1") (acquisition and determination of a special figure 1 related random number described later: hereinafter, "special figure 1 lottery"). ) And the variable display shown in FIG. Further, when the game balls enter the first starting port 11, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  The electric tube 12D includes an operable electric tube opening and closing member 12k. The electric chew opening / closing member 12k is normally (in a normal state) in a closed position where it is impossible or extremely difficult for a game ball to enter the second starting port 12. Then, in the special state, the game ball moves to an open position where the game ball can enter the second starting port 12. In this manner, the movement of the electric chew opening / closing member 12k to the open position is also referred to as an “open state” of the second starting port 12 or the electric chew 12D. Ball entry is possible. On the other hand, that the electric tube opening / closing member 12k is in the closed position is also referred to as the “closed state” of the second starting port 12 or the electric tube 12D. The state in which the second starting port 12 or the electric chew 12D is in the “open state” is also referred to as “the electric chew 12D is opened”, and the state in which the electric chew 12D is in the “closed state” is “the electric chew 12D is closed”. Also called.

  The winning of the game ball in the second starting port 12 is determined by a lottery of a second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 2”) (acquisition and determination of a special figure 2 related random number described later: hereinafter, “special figure 2 lottery”). And the variable display of Toku-zu 2 are triggered. When a game ball enters the second starting port 12, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  The game area 6 is provided with a general winning opening 10 into which a game ball can enter. When the game balls enter the general winning opening 10, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  The game area 6 is provided with a gate 13 through which game balls can pass. The passage of the game ball through the gate 13 is triggered by a lottery of a normal symbol (hereinafter, referred to as a “common figure”) (that is, acquisition and determination of a random number of a normal symbol: hereinafter, referred to as a “common figure lottery”) and a variable display of the common figure. Has become. The electric chew 12D is opened by executing the auxiliary game. That is, the auxiliary game is a game that involves opening the electric chew 12D.

  In the game area 6, a first big winning device 14D (hereinafter, also referred to as a "normal AT 14D") provided with a first big winning opening 14 in which a game ball can enter is provided.

  The first big winning device 14D includes a normal AT opening / closing member 14k that can be operated in an open state and a closed state. The first special winning opening 14 is opened and closed by the operation of the normal AT opening and closing member 14k. Normally, the AT opening / closing member 14k is normally in a closed state that closes the first special winning opening 14, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for game balls to enter the first special winning opening 14. When the normal AT opening / closing member 14k operates in the open state, it becomes possible for the game ball to enter the first big winning opening 14. As described above, the game ball can enter the first big winning opening 14 only when the normal AT opening / closing member 14k is in the open state. When the game balls enter the first big winning opening 14, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  In the game area 6, a guidance stage 12g for guiding a game ball to the second starting port 12 is provided. The game balls rolling on the upper surface of the guidance stage 12g can flow down toward the second starting port 12.

  Further, in the game area 6, a second big winning device 15D (hereinafter, also referred to as "VAT15D") provided with a second big winning opening 15 in which a game ball can enter is provided. The second big winning device 15D includes an operable VAT opening / closing member 15k. The VAT opening / closing member 15k normally blocks the second special winning opening 15, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for game balls to enter the second special winning opening 15. The VAT opening / closing member 15k can be in an open state. When the VAT opening / closing member 15k is in the open state, it is easy for game balls to enter the second big winning opening 15. On the other hand, the state in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k blocks the second special winning opening 15 is also referred to as a “closed state”. Thus, the second big winning opening 15 is opened and closed by the operation of the VAT opening and closing member 15k. When a game ball wins in the second special winning opening 15, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball.

  Here, the second big winning device 15D will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Inside the second big winning device 15D, there is provided a gate-shaped second big winning port sensor 15a capable of detecting a game ball entering the second big winning opening 15 and passing the game ball downward. Have been.

  A specific area 16 and a non-specific area 17 through which a game ball can pass (enter) are provided in a downstream area of the second special winning opening sensor 15a. The game balls that have passed through the second special winning opening sensor 15a are sorted to the specific area 16 or the non-specific area 17 by the distribution device 16D. The distribution device 16D includes a distribution member 16k formed of a substantially rectangular flat plate, and a distribution solenoid 16s that drives the distribution member 16k. The distribution member 16k is configured to be slidable left and right by driving the distribution solenoid 16s.

  When the distribution solenoid 16s is not energized, the distribution member 16k is in a first state in which the game ball is prevented from passing to the specific area 16 (passage prevention state: the left end of the distribution member 16k in a front view of FIG. 3A). Is located slightly to the right of the left end of the specific area 16, and the distribution member 16k covers the specific area 16 immediately above. When the distribution member 16k is in the first state, the game ball that has won the second special winning opening 15 cannot or extremely cannot pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second special winning opening sensor 15a. It is difficult and passes through the non-specific area 17. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second special winning opening 15 to the non-specific area 17 is referred to as a first route.

  On the other hand, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is in the second state in which the game ball is allowed to pass (enter) the specific region 16 (passage permitted state: frontal view in FIG. 3B). The left end of the distribution member 16k is located slightly to the left of the right end of the specific area 16, and the distribution member 16k does not cover the specific area 16 immediately above, but is in a state where the upper area of the specific area 16 is open. When the distribution member 16k is in the second state, a game ball that has won the second special winning opening 15 can easily pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second special winning opening sensor 15a. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second special winning opening 15 to the specific area 16 is referred to as a second route.

  Basically, the distribution member 16k is held in the first state. That is, it can be said that the first state is the normal state of the distribution member 16k. Then, only in a predetermined round game (for example, 16R), the distribution solenoid 16s is energized and can change to the second state.

  The specific area 16 and the non-specific area 17 are provided with a specific area sensor 16a and a non-specific area sensor 17a that detect a game ball passing through (entering) each of the areas 16 and 17 and pass the game ball downward. .

  In addition, it is possible to provide only one of the first big winning device 14D and the second big winning device 15D as long as the game is not hindered.

  At the lowermost portion of the game area 6, two out ports 19 are provided for discharging game balls that have been driven into the game area 6 but have not won any of the winning ports to the outside of the game area 6. I have. The game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

  By the way, the game area 6 in which game balls can flow down can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side from the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is referred to as “left hit”. On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is referred to as "right strike". In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a flow path through which the game ball can flow down when the game ball is shot left is called a first flow path R1, and the game ball flows down when the game ball is shot right. A possible flow path is referred to as a second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also constituted by a large number of game nails or the like.

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

  A game ball that has not entered any of the winning ports (the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12, the general winning port 10, the first large winning port 14, and the second large winning port 15) It is guided to the outlet 19 and discharged. In addition, the number of prize balls by winning a prize hole can be appropriately set.

  Indicators 8 are arranged on the left side below the game area 6 formed on the front surface of the game board 1 (a part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, on the display 8, a special figure 1 display 81 a that variably displays the special figure 1, a special figure 2 display 81 b that variably displays the special figure 2, and a general figure are variably displayed. A general-purpose indicator 82 is included. The display 8 also includes a special figure 1 reservation display 83a that displays the special figure 1 reservation number (U1: the number of variable display of the special figure 1 held by the special figure 1 display 81a) described later. A special figure 2 reservation display 83b for displaying the special figure 2 reservation number (U2: the number of the special figure 2 variable display held by the special figure 2 display 81b) to be described later is included.

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

  The variable display of the special figure notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is variably displayed and then stopped. The special figure stopped and displayed (the special special figure derived and displayed as a display result of the variable special display) is one special figure selected from a plurality of kinds of special figures by a special figure lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, ie, a big hit symbol), the special winning opening (the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed.

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

  Further, in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the special figure is performed for a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. In the variable display mode of the special figure, for example, each LED is turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. It should be noted that the form of the variable display of the special figure is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set such that all the LEDs blink at once unless each LED is stopped (displayed in a specific manner).

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a prize (entering) of a game ball to the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, various random numbers (such as numerical information and judgment information) for performing a special drawing lottery and the like. Example) may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in a special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) game balls into the first starting port 11 are referred to as “special figure 1-related random numbers”, and winning of game balls into the second starting port 12. The various random numbers obtained by (entering the ball) are referred to as “special figure 2 related random numbers”. Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored as special figure 1 reservation in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a in the special figure reservation storage unit 105. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 as the special figure 2 reservation. The number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a (number of special figure 1 reservations) and the number of special figure 2 reservations that can be stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b (number of special figure 2 reservations) Can set an upper limit (for example, four). In the following, the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are collectively referred to as “special figure hold”, and the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number are collectively referred to as “special figure hold number”. In addition, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are collectively referred to as “special figure related random number”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, if the special figure is not variably displayed immediately after the gaming ball has won the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special figure is being executed. If a prize is awarded during the execution of the jackpot game, the variable display of a special map for the prize (or the right to special drawing lottery) can be reserved. The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 is digested when it becomes possible to variably display the special figure based on the special figure reservation. In other words, the digestion of the special figure reservation means that a special figure relation random number or the like corresponding to the special figure reservation is determined and the variable display of the special figure for indicating the determination result is executed.

  Then, the special figure reservation number is displayed on the special figure reservation display 83. Each of the special figure 1 reservation display 83a and the special figure 2 reservation display 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and the number of special figure reservations is displayed by lighting the LEDs for the number of special figure reservations. It is possible.

  In addition, the variable display of the general figure notifies the result of the general figure lottery. In the variable display of the general figure, the general figure is variably displayed and then stopped. The stop-displayed general-purpose map (stop general-purpose diagram, a general-purpose diagram derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display) is one general-purpose diagram selected from a plurality of types of general-purpose maps by a general-purpose drawing. When the stop-displayed general-purpose figure is a predetermined specific general-purpose figure (a general figure of a predetermined stop mode, ie, a winning symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second starting port 12 (the electric chew 12D) is performed. .

  The general-purpose indicator 82 is composed of, for example, two LEDs, and displays a general-purpose figure according to the result of the general-purpose lottery according to the lighting mode. When the result of the general drawing lottery is a winning, the general figure display 82 displays a winning symbol constituted by lighting of both LEDs, such as “□□” (□: lighting, Δ: extinguishing). In addition, if the result of the regular drawing lottery is a loss, a loss symbol constituted by lighting only the right LED, such as “■ □”, is displayed. A mode in which all the LEDs are turned off as the losing symbol may be adopted. In addition, the lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the ordinary drawing lottery is not limited, and can be appropriately set.

  In addition, before the general figure is stopped and displayed, the variable figure of the general figure is displayed for a predetermined fluctuation time. An example of the variable display in the ordinary drawing is a mode in which both LEDs are alternately lit. The mode of variable display in ordinary drawings is not particularly limited. If each LED is not stopped (lighted display in a specific mode), it may be appropriately set such that all LEDs blink at once. .

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when a game ball passes through the gate 13, a normal symbol random number (an example of numerical information or determination information) for performing a general drawing lottery may be obtained.

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

3-1. Games related to general maps First, games related to general maps will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a regular drawing lottery when the launched game ball passes through the gate 13. When the general drawing lottery is performed, a variable display of the general drawing (stop display after performing the variable display) is performed on the general figure display 82. Here, the stop-displayed general symbols include a hit symbol and a lost symbol. It should be noted that the lost symbol in the ordinary figure is also referred to as a "losed ordinary figure" in order to distinguish it from the lost symbol in the special figure described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game relating to the passage through the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the lost game is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed and the game related to the passage through the gate 13 ends. Further, hereinafter, when a game ball passes through the gate 13 when the variable display of the normal figure or the auxiliary game is not performed, it is referred to as “establishment of the variable figure start condition”.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1, when performing such a series of games (general drawing lottery, variable display of general drawing, auxiliary game), acquires general figure-related random numbers by satisfying general figure changing start conditions. As shown in FIG. 8A, the ordinary symbol related random numbers to be acquired include ordinary symbol random numbers. The normal symbol random number is a random number (judgment information) for making a hit judgment. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. The hit determination is a determination for determining whether or not a hit has been made (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or more hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 9A. The hit determination table can be associated with a game state described later. That is, the gaming state includes a non-time reduction state and a time reduction state, and as a hit determination table, a hit determination table (non-time reduction hit determination table) used in the non-time reduction state and a hit determination table (non-time reduction use table) used in the time reduction state. And a hit determination table). In each of the hit determination tables, a determination value of a normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol random value) is assigned to a hit and a loss as a result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the acquired ordinary symbol random numbers against the hit determination table to determine whether a hit or a loss. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, a general-figure variation pattern determination for variably displaying the general-figure is performed. When the result of the hit determination is a hit, basically, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the ordinary figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is a loss, basically, the loss general figure is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the general figure. The winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. The general figure fluctuation pattern determination is a determination for determining the general figure fluctuation pattern using one or a plurality of general figure fluctuation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9B. The general-figure variation pattern is identification information on predetermined items related to variable display of the general-purpose figure such as general-fluctuation time.

  The normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with a game state. That is, as a general figure variation pattern determination table, a general figure variation pattern determination table (non-hour reduction general figure variation pattern determination table) used in a non-hour reduction state and a general figure variation pattern determination table ( Time-saving general-purpose variation pattern determination table).

  In each of the general figure fluctuation pattern determination tables, one general figure fluctuation pattern as a result of the general figure fluctuation pattern determination is stored for each general figure to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the general-purpose variation time different between the non-time reduction state and the time reduction state. For example, in the non-time-saving state, the variable display of the general figure when the general figure of the loss (loss general figure) is stopped and displayed is determined to be a general figure change pattern in which the general figure change time is, for example, 30 seconds. Is determined to be a general-purpose variation pattern in which the general-purpose variation time is, for example, 30 seconds. Further, in the time saving state, the variable display of the general figure when the lost general figure is stopped and displayed is determined to be a general figure fluctuation pattern in which the general figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the general pattern when the hit symbol is stopped and displayed. The variable display of the figure is determined to be a general figure fluctuation pattern in which the general figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The varieties of varieties of the varieties of the varieties of the varieties associated with the varieties of the varieties of variation determined by this determination are variably displayed on the general figure display 82. Further, these ordinary figure fluctuation times can be appropriately changed. In this way, by performing the hit determination and the general-figure variation pattern determination, the general-figure display 82 performs variable display of the general-figure.

3-1-3. Auxiliary Game The auxiliary game is executed when the winning symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) as a display result (a result of the general figure lottery) in a variable display of the general figure.

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

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

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

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

  In the following description, winning of a game ball in the first starting port 11 is referred to as “establishment of a first starting condition”, and winning of a game ball in the second starting port 12 is referred to as “establishment of a second starting condition”. That. Further, "establishment of the first start condition" and "establishment of the second start condition" are collectively referred to as "establishment of the start condition". In addition, the lost symbol of the special symbol is also referred to as a "losing special symbol" to distinguish it from the above-mentioned lost symbol of the ordinary symbol.

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

3-2-1. Jackpot determination The jackpot determination is a determination for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether to execute a jackpot game) using one or more jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with the normal probability state or the high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, it is possible to distinguish between the jackpot determination table (normal probability jackpot determination table) used in the normal probability state and the jackpot determination table (high probability jackpot determination table) used in the high probability state. It is possible.

  In each of the jackpot determination tables, a determination value (special symbol random value) of a special symbol random number is assigned to a jackpot and a loss as a result of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the acquired special symbol random number against the jackpot determination table to determine whether the hit is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the special symbol random number determination value determined to be a big hit is set higher in the high probability big hit determination table than in the normal probability big hit determination table. In addition, the jackpot winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination The jackpot symbol type determination is a type of the jackpot symbol (the jackpot symbol type) using one or a plurality of jackpot symbol type determination tables as shown in FIG. ) Is determined. For each type of the big hit symbol, it is possible to associate the big hit content, in other words, the big hit component composed of the game privilege etc. given to the player.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the start-up opening where the prize winning that caused the jackpot symbol type determination (that generated the jackpot symbol type determination) was performed. Is possible. That is, as a jackpot symbol type determination table, a jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing variable display of special figure 1, and a jackpot used when performing variable display of special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish between the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are a plurality of types of jackpot symbols, and in each of the jackpot symbol type determination tables, the determination value of the jackpot symbol type random number (the jackpot symbol type random value) is assigned to the jackpot symbol type that is the result of the jackpot symbol type determination. I have. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines the type of the jackpot symbol by comparing the acquired jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table. Then, in the first big hit symbol type determination table and the second big hit symbol type determination table, the big hit symbol type random value is appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols. In addition, the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type can be appropriately changed. The type of the big hit symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type based on the jackpot symbol type determination for the special figure 1 is set to 50% for the large jackpot symbol X and 50% for the large jackpot symbol Y. It is possible to set the distribution rate of the big hit symbol type by the big hit symbol type determination to 100% for the big hit symbol Z. In this way, the special figure 1 lottery performed when a game ball wins in the first starting port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed when a game ball wins in the second starting port 12, the swing of the jackpot symbol type. The fractions can be different.

3-2-3. Reach determination In the reach determination, when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, using one or a plurality of reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a determination for determining whether

  The reach determination table can be associated with a game state. That is, a reach determination table (non-time reduction reach determination table) used in the non-time reduction state and a reach determination table (reach determination table for time reduction) used in the time reduction state are distinguished as the reach determination table. It is possible.

  In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination value (reach random number value) is allocated to “reach present (reach is generated)” and “reach no (reach is not generated)” which are the results of the reach determination. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the obtained reach random number against the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not to generate reach). As shown in FIG. 10 (C), the number of reach random numbers determined as “reach present (reach is generated)” can be made different between the non-time reduction reach determination table and the time reduction reach determination table. It is. In the following, "reach exists (generates a reach)", which is performed on the assumption that the result of the jackpot determination is "losing", is referred to as "reach has a loss" and "reach has no (does not generate a reach). )) Is sometimes called "losing without reach."

3-2-4. Special figure change The special figure change pattern is determined by using a change pattern determination table of one or more special symbols (a special figure change pattern determination table) as shown in FIGS. This is a determination for determining the (special figure change pattern), and is performed in both cases of the jackpot determination and the loss. The special figure change pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items related to a special figure change time, an effect flow (effect contents) of a special figure change effect described later, and the like. It should be noted that the special figure change pattern can include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination in addition to the special figure change time and the effect flow (effect contents) of the special figure change effect. As the special figure variation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns each having different identification information can be used, and the number thereof can be appropriately changed.

  The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol to be variably displayed as the determination target, in other words, the type of the starting port where the winning based on the special figure variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure variation pattern determination table, a special figure variation pattern determination table (Special figure 1 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed. It can be distinguished from the special figure variation pattern determination table (Special figure 2 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) which is sometimes used.

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

  Further, each special figure fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, or a reach determination result. In other words, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for non-time saving and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for non-time reduction have a big hit (for each big hit symbol type), a loss with reach, and a loss with no reach. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the time reduction special figure 2 variation pattern determination table also include, for example, a big hit (for each big hit symbol type), a loss with reach, and a loss with no reach.

  Further, the special figure 1 change pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the special figure reservation number. For example, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for reachless loss, which is used when the special figure 1 reserved number (U1) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 1 reserved number (U1) is 3 to 4 are used. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for the loss without reach. In addition, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the special figure reservation number. For example, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reachless loss, which is used when the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is 3 to 4 are used. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for the loss without reach.

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

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

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

3-2-5. Read-ahead determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a read-ahead determination using one or a plurality of look-ahead determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure-related random numbers. The pre-reading determination includes, for example, determining whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be a big hit in the jackpot determination, determining which jackpot symbol type is determined by the jackpot symbol type determination, There is a determination as to which special figure variation pattern the figure variation pattern random number is determined in the special figure variation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of starting port related to the starting winning. That is, as the pre-reading determination table, a pre-reading determination table when the first starting port 11 is won (first pre-reading determination table), a pre-reading determination table when the second starting port 12 is won (the second pre-reading determination table), , Can be distinguished.

  Further, the look-ahead determination table can be associated with a game state. That is, as the look-ahead determination table, a look-ahead determination table (non-time-saving look-ahead determination table) used in the non-time-saving state and a look-ahead determination table (time-saving look-ahead determination table) used in the time-saving state are distinguished. It is possible.

  That is, the look-ahead determination table includes a first look-ahead determination table used in the non-work time reduction state, a first look-ahead determination table used in the time reduction state, and a second look-ahead determination table used in the non-work time reduction state. And the second look-ahead determination table used in the time saving state. Note that what kind of judgment is included in the pre-reading judgment can be appropriately changed.

3-3. Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes a plurality of round games with opening and closing of a special winning opening (the first special winning opening 14 or the second special winning opening 15) and a round from the start of the big hit game to the start of the first round game. An opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the last round game to the end of the jackpot game are included. Each round game starts when the opening game ends or the previous round game ends, and ends when the next round game starts or the ending starts. Further, it is possible not to provide the OP or the ED. In the following, a predetermined number of round games (predetermined order) are simply referred to as “rounds”. For example, the first (first) round game is called “1 round (1R)”, and the tenth round game is called “10 round (10R)”.

  Elements constituting such a jackpot game (jackpot game components) include the number of round games, the number of times a large winning port (the first large winning port 14 or the second large winning port 15) is opened in each round game, Includes the type and opening time (opening pattern) of the special winning opening in which each opening is performed, the time to close until the next opening (closing time), the opening time (opening time), and the ending time (ending time). ing. After the special figure is stopped and displayed, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the big hit game using one or more big hit game control tables as shown in FIG. The big hit game control table stores big hit game components for each big hit game. As the jackpot game, one or more types of jackpot games can be controlled.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, a round game in which the first special winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a first special winning opening 14 for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. In the 16R (final round), a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds is performed. Done. Further, in each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is detected by the special winning opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the special winning openings 14 and 15 elapses, End the round game.

  Also, the number and time of each element can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the jackpot game can be played using both the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15 or using only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. The specific region 16 is set in a closed state in which no prize can be won and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as “opening / closing mode of the specific area 16”. In this way, the distribution member 16k is controlled in a fixed operation mode (the specific region 16 is fixed in the open / close mode). The distribution member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (the specific region 16 is fixed in the open / close mode). In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (easiness) of making the game ball enter the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. Hereinafter, the state where the specific region 16 is in the open state is also referred to as “V open”.

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second special winning opening is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, the opening time and the timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time and the time when the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state. From the relation with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to allow the game ball to enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second, the opening time and timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time and the time when the distributing member 16k is controlled to the second state are set. From the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (enter the game ball into the specific area 16). As described above, the jackpot game includes a VAT opening / closing member in the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) in which the passing of the specific area 16 of the game ball (hereinafter, also referred to as “V passing”) is easy during the jackpot game. The VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distribution member 16k operate and in the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the big hit game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as "V long big hit". On the other hand, the big hit game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is referred to as "V short big hit".

3-4. Game state Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a “low-probability low-base gaming state”, a “low-probability high-base gaming state”, a “high-probability low-base gaming state”, a “high-probability high-base gaming state”, and a “high-probability high-base gaming state”. It is possible to set any of the gaming states of the "big hit gaming state". Note that the “low-probability low-base game state” is “low-probability low-base state”, the “low-probability high-base game state” is “low-probability-high-base state”, and the “high-probability low-base game state” is “high-probability”. The “low base state” and the “high-probability high-base gaming state” can be abbreviated to the “high-probability high-base state”, respectively. The states that constitute the gaming state include a state related to the probability of being determined to be "big hit" in the jackpot determination and a state related to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time saving state and a time saving state.

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

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

  In addition, the time reduction state can easily make the normal figure fluctuation time shorter than the non-time reduction state. For example, in the time reduction state, a general figure fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the general figure fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time reduction state is determined. Therefore, in the time reduction state, the number of executions of the general drawing lottery per unit time is larger.

  Further, the time reduction state can be more easily determined as a hit in the hit determination than the non-time reduction state. For example, in the time-saving state, the hit is determined with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability (for example, 6600/65536) in the non-time-saving state. Therefore, in the time reduction state, the number of hits determined per hit in the unit time per unit time is larger.

  In this manner, in the time reduction state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time reduction state, and the game balls can easily enter the second starting port 12 more frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of award balls to the number of launch balls, increases. For this reason, in a time-saving state in which the base is high, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time reduction state is a state more advantageous to the player than the non-time reduction state.

  When power is turned on for the first time in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a non-time saving state is set. Then, for example, by winning a jackpot, the time saving state can be set. The time saving state can be changed from the time saving state to the non-time saving state by performing a predetermined number of jackpot determinations without winning the jackpot or by winning the next jackpot.

  In the time reduction state, it is easier to win a hit, the fluctuating time tends to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than in the non-time reduction state. The game related to the ordinary figure is set to be advantageous to the player in three points. However, the points set advantageously for the player may be some of them.

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

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

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The production mode is a division of production (or a high-level concept attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a positive change effect mode, a time-saving effect mode, and a big hit effect mode as effect modes.

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

  The normal effect mode can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is performed in the “low-probability low-base game state” or the “high-probability low-base game state”, and is an effect mode indicating a non-time saving state. is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-1), a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a. As shown in FIG. 16 (B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image (evening normal background image G103) representing a mountain scenery in the evening is displayed on display unit 50a, and FIG. As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (nighttime background image G104) representing the nighttime mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a. One or a plurality of special figure fluctuation effects are switched as one condition. Further, in each of the first to third normal effect modes, there are a normal first stage effect mode before reach is established and a normal second stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation effect. In the normal first stage effect mode, any of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the nighttime normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. The corresponding dedicated background image is displayed. Further, a special effect mode that is set only in the “high-probability low-base gaming state” may be provided.

  The certain variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is performed in the “high-probability high-base gaming state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the game is in the high-probability state and the time-saving state. In the certainty effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-4), a background image representing the universe (a certainty background image G105) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, in the probabilistic effect mode, there are a probable first stage effect mode before reach is established and a probable later stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation effect. In the first stage effect mode, the display unit 50a displays the background image G105 for the second stage, but in the second stage mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of the reach is displayed.

  The time-saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is performed in the “low-probability high-base game state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the game is in the normal probability state and the time-saving state. In the time reduction effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-5, a background image (time reduction background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, in the time reduction effect mode, in the special figure variation effect, there are a time reduction first stage effect mode before the reach is established, and a time reduction second stage effect mode after the reach is established. In the early hours reduction mode, the time-saving background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the later hours reduction mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

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

  The type of the effect mode can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, special figure fluctuation production (it is also called simply “variation production”) is explained. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 changes the special figure variation pattern and the special figure lottery result (the big hit determination result, the big hit symbol type determination result, the reach determination result, The special figure fluctuation effect is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result). In the special figure variation effect, the variation display of the effect symbol is performed on the display unit 50a so as to be superimposed on a predetermined background image. The effect symbol is composed of, for example, numerical symbols of 1 to 9, and in the variation display of the effect symbol, the effect symbol fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the effect symbol changes with the end of the variable display of the special figure. Stops. That is, after the fluctuation display of the special figure fluctuation time and the effect symbol is performed, the fluctuation is stopped, and the stop display (final stop display) of the effect symbol is performed. Then, the result of the special figure lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect symbol.

  In addition, in the special figure fluctuating effect, in addition to the fluctuating display of the effect design, there are various types of display such as an image display device 50, a speaker 52, a frame lamp 53, a board lamp 54, movable devices 55, 56, 58, a normal button 40, a special button 41, and the like. It is possible to perform other effects using various effect devices. In this case, it is possible to continue another effect even after the stop display of the effect symbol.

4-2-1. Effect design display area As shown in FIG. 17 (A), the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 has a left effect on the left, center and right sides of the display unit 50a which is divided into three substantially equally in the horizontal direction. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a medium effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol in the special figure fluctuation effect is stopped and displayed. Similarly, the medium effect design area 50b2 and the right effect design area 50b3 are areas for displaying the medium effect design EZ2 and the right effect design EZ3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, a small symbol area 50c can be provided in one section of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end of the display section 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area where the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the special figure is variably displayed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are composed of, for example, 1-9 numeric symbols.

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

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

  When the variable display of the special figure is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. FIG. 17B shows a state in which the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the variable display of the special figure is not performed and the variable display of the special figure is on standby. As shown in the figure, the fluctuation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started with the start, and the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. Note that “↓” in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbol is being displayed in a fluctuating manner. Then, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “normal loss change”, as shown in FIG. 17C-1, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different. After the temporary stop in the stop mode, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode (so-called ragged pattern) indicating a loss, as shown in FIG. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode indicating loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting a loss, such as “1.1.2” and “2.4.6”, in which the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern having a reach such as “N loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 17C-2, the left effect symbol EZ1 is displayed. And the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode (so-called reach eye), and reach is established. At this time, the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special figure fluctuation pattern is performed. In addition, the stop order and the stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 can be appropriately changed.

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

  In the N-reach, as shown in FIG. 18A, the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18B, the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 is reduced. Slow down slowly. Then, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N loss change”, as shown in FIG. 18C-1, the effect is performed in a stop mode (so-called reach loss eye) indicating the reach loss. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting reach loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting reach loss, such as "7.6.7" and "5.3.5", in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbol is different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N big hit change”, as shown in FIG. 18C-2, the stop is performed in a stop mode (so-called double-eye) indicating a big hit. indicate. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting a big hit, such as "7 / 7.7" and "2.2.2", in which the left and right symbols are the same. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode indicating a big hit. It should be noted that the effect contents of N reach are not limited to the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually decelerating, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

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

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

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

4-3. Reserved Icon Display Area The display section 50a of the image display device 50 can be provided with a reserved icon display area 50d including four display areas, as shown in FIG.

The button operation promotion image G3 includes an image simulating the special button 41 (a special button image G31), an image representing an operation mode (that is, a pressing operation) of the special button 41 (a pressing operation image G32), and a button operation validity period. An image representing the remaining time (operation effective period remaining time image G33). The operation valid period remaining time image G33 is composed of a generally curved progress bar, and changes with time so that the player can easily understand the remaining time of the operation valid period. Thereafter, in response to the pressing operation of the special button 41 during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period elapses without operating the special button 41 during the button operation valid period, FIG. As shown in (5), the on-panel movable device 55 is activated, and the on-panel movable body 55k moves so as to overlap the display unit 50a as viewed from the player, indicating the jackpot expectation degree. Note that the operation effect is not limited to the operation of the on-panel movable device 55, but can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-4-3. Pre-reading effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a pre-reading effect for a special figure 1 hold or a special figure 2 hold in which a special figure lottery is not performed, as a notice effect. The pre-reading effect functions as an effect for indicating in advance the lottery result of the special figure lottery for the special figure 1 hold or the special figure 2 hold.

  In the pre-reading effect, for example, when the result of the pre-reading determination for the special figure 1 reservation is “big hit”, as shown in FIG. 20C, the reservation icon HA normally displayed as “で” in the reservation icon display area 50d. May be displayed as “☆”. In addition, when the result of the pre-reading determination is “losing”, the hold icon HA may be displayed as “☆” as a so-called gassing effect. The pre-reading effect can be performed on both or one of the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation. Further, the present invention is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, but can be changed or added as appropriate. For example, it is also possible to change the stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 in the special figure fluctuation effect.

5. Game Control by the Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, game control by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, buffers, and the like that appear in the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

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

  Subsequent to the power-on process, the interrupt is prohibited (S002), and a normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is executed. In this ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are updated by adding one. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. Note that the initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. At least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) ends, an interrupt is permitted (S004). While the interruption is permitted, the execution of the main-side timer interruption processing (S005) becomes possible. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102 at a period of, for example, 4 msec. That is, the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. From the end of the main timer interrupt process (S005) to the next start of the main timer interrupt process (S005), various types of normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) are performed. The process of updating the counter value of the random number is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

[2. Main timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), first, an output process (S101) is executed. In the output process (S101), a command or the like set in an output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the main control board 100 in each process described below is output to the sub control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

  In the input process (S102) performed after the output process (S101), the game control microcomputer 101 captures a detection signal from, for example, a lower plate full switch that detects the fullness of the lower plate 35, and performs the game as lower plate full data. In the output buffer of the RAM 104 for use.

  The next ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S103) is the same as the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) performed in the main control main process of FIG. That is, the updating process of the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and during the other period (the main timer interrupt process ( After the end of S005), a period until the next main-side timer interrupt process (S005) is started).

  Subsequent to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), subsequently performs a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106). Do. The sensor detection processing, the normal operation processing, and the special operation processing will be described later.

  Following the special operation process (S106), a distribution device control process for controlling the distribution device 16D is performed (S107).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108), and ends the main timer interrupt processing (S005). As other processing (S108), power-off monitoring processing when power is turned off, updating of a timer provided in the game RAM 104, and the like are performed. As another process (S108), a payout control process of paying out a prize ball to a player is performed. In the payout control processing, a prize ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 in accordance with the winning of the game ball to each winning port. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out prize balls based on the prize ball request signal.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main process until an interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 next (see FIG. 23), and the interrupt pulse is input. Then (after about 4 msec), the main timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed again. In the output process (S101) of the main timer interrupt process (S005) executed again, the game control microcomputer 101 sets the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main timer interrupt process (S005). Etc. are output.

If the result of the jackpot determination is a big hit, a big hit symbol indicating a big hit is stopped and displayed. If the result of the big hit determination is a loss, a lost symbol indicating a loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special figure fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the special figure is generated.

[2-3-3. Special design confirmation process]
The special symbol determination process is a process performed when the special figure is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol determination process, if the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a big hit symbol, the game is shifted to the big hit gaming state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the big hit game is generated. The opening command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination. If the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the high probability state is to be ended, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high probability end command indicating transition to the normal probability state is generated. If the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time reduction state is to be ended, the non-time reduction state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating transition to the non-time saving state is generated. When the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the number of special figure 2 reservations and special figure 1 reservation is “0”, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 indicates that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in a standby state. Generate commands.

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

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

  The command generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Next, the control of the effect by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. Note that counters, timers, flags, buffers, and the like appearing in the following description of the effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

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

  Next, interrupts are prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed updating process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determinations regarding various effects are updated. As an example, the method of updating the effect determination random number counter for various effects may be the same as the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above. At the time of updating, instead of adding the random value one by one, two may be added. This is the same in the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  Upon completion of the random number seed update process, a command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub-control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (executes various effects using the image). The sub-control board 120 outputs various sounds performed by the image control board 140, outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound), and controls the lamp. The frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 emit light through the circuit 151 (execute various light emission effects by light emission), and operate the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 (various movable object effects by operation). Or execute).

  The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits an interrupt (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interruption is permitted, the reception interruption processing (S4010) and the sub timer interruption processing (S4011) can be executed.

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

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

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

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

7. Description of Features of First Embodiment Regarding the features of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, a more detailed description will be added below.

7-1. Jackpot symbol type determination First, the jackpot symbol type determination of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The jackpot symbol type determination is a determination for determining the jackpot symbol type using the jackpot symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 27 when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot. In the present embodiment, the content of the jackpot (specifically, a component of the jackpot constituted by a game privilege etc. given to the player) is associated with each type of the jackpot symbol.

  There are four types of jackpot symbols of the present embodiment, a jackpot symbol A, a jackpot symbol B, a jackpot symbol C, and a jackpot symbol D. The jackpot symbol A and the jackpot symbol B are jackpot symbols that can be selected in the special drawing 1 lottery performed when a game ball is won in the first starting port 11. Is a jackpot symbol that can be selected in a special drawing 2 lottery performed when a game ball wins.

  If the big hit symbol A is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display 81a of the special figure display 81, then the big hit game A (described later) is performed, and if the big hit symbol B is stopped and displayed, then the big hit A game B (described later) is performed. If the big hit symbol C is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display 81b of the special figure display 81, then a big hit game C (described later) is performed, and if the big hit symbol D is stopped and displayed, then , A jackpot game D (described later) is performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a jackpot, the distribution rate (probability) of selecting the jackpot symbol A as the jackpot symbol of the jackpot is 50%, and the jackpot symbol B is selected. The distribution rate (probability) is 50% (see FIG. 27). In other words, if the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol A and the jackpot symbol B can be selected with the same probability as the jackpot symbol. On the other hand, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is a jackpot, the distribution rate (probability) of selecting the jackpot symbol C as the jackpot symbol of the jackpot is 40%, and the distribution of selecting the jackpot symbol D is selected. The rate (probability) is 60% (see FIG. 27). In other words, if the result of the special figure 2 lottery is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol D is easier to select as the jackpot symbol than the jackpot symbol C.

7-2. Next, the jackpot game will be described with reference to FIG. There are four types of jackpot games of this embodiment: jackpot game A, jackpot game B, jackpot game C, and jackpot game D shown in FIG.

  In each of the jackpot game A, the jackpot game B, the jackpot game C, and the jackpot game D, ten round games from 1R to 10R are executed. Then, in the nine round games from 1R to 9R, the first special winning opening 14 is opened, and in the 10R (final round) round game, the second special winning opening 15 is opened (see FIG. 28). However, the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 15 differs depending on the type of the jackpot game.

  Specifically, in the jackpot game A, a round game in which the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds is performed as three round games from 1R to 3R. Thereafter, as the six round games from 4R to 9R, a round game in which the first special winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second is performed. Further, as a 10R round game, a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds is performed. In the round games from 4R to 9R, since it is difficult for game balls to enter the first big winning opening 14, the jackpot game A is a jackpot game in which the round game in which the game balls can enter is substantially 4R. .

  In the big hit game A, the first member (FIG. 3A) changes from the first state (FIG. 3A) to the second state (FIG. 3B) during the round game in which the distribution member 16 k is 10R. Therefore, in the 10R round game of the jackpot game A, the game ball easily entering the second big winning opening 15 can pass through the specific area 16. Therefore, when the big hit game A is performed, the subsequent game state is likely to be set to the high probability and high base game state. If the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 in the 10R round game of the jackpot game A, the subsequent game state is set to the low probability high base game state instead of the high probability high base game state.

  In the big hit game B, a round game in which the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds is performed as four round games from 1R to 4R. After that, as five round games from 5R to 9R, a round game in which the first special winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second is performed. Further, as a 10R round game, a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second is performed. In the round games from 5R to 10R, it is difficult for game balls to enter the special winning openings 14 and 15, so the jackpot game B, like the jackpot game A, has substantially 4R round games in which game balls can enter. It has become a jackpot game.

  In the big hit game B, as in the big hit game A, during the round game in which the distribution member 16k is 10R, the state changes from the first state (FIG. 3A) to the second state (FIG. 3B). However, unlike the jackpot game A, it is difficult for game balls to enter the second big winning opening 15. Therefore, in the 10R round game of the jackpot game B, it is difficult for the game ball to pass to the specific area 16. Therefore, when the big hit game B is performed, the subsequent gaming state is hard to be set to the high-probability high-base gaming state, and is easily set to the low-probability high-base gaming state.

  Also, in the big hit game C, as in the big hit game A, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for up to 29.5 seconds as three round games from 1R to 3R, and then 6 rounds from 4R to 9R. As a round game, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second. Further, as a 10R round game, a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds is performed. In the round games from 4R to 9R, it is difficult for the game balls to enter the special winning openings 14 and 15, so the jackpot game C has substantially 4R round games in which the game balls can enter as in the case of the jackpot game A. It has become a jackpot game.

  In addition, in the big hit game C, similarly to the big hit game A, since the game ball can easily enter the second big winning opening 15, the gaming ball passing through the second big winning opening 15 is also in the specific area 16. It is possible to pass. Therefore, when the big hit game C is performed, the subsequent game state is likely to be set to the high probability and high base game state, similarly to the big hit game A. If the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 in the 10R round game of the jackpot game C, the subsequent gaming state is not a high probability high base game state but a low probability high game as in the case of the jackpot game A. The base game state is set.

  In addition, in the jackpot game D, as in the jackpot game A and the jackpot game C, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for up to 29.5 seconds as a round game from 1R to 3R, and the rounds from 4R to 9R thereafter. In the game, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds. Further, as a 10R round game, the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds. That is, the jackpot game D is different from the jackpot game A, the jackpot game B, and the jackpot game C, and the game ball can easily enter in all round games.

  In the 10R round game of the jackpot game D, similarly to the jackpot game A and the jackpot game C, since the game ball can enter the second jackpot 15, the game passing through the second jackpot 15 is performed. The sphere can also pass through the specific area 16. Therefore, when the big hit game D is performed, the subsequent game state is likely to be set to the high probability and high base game state, like the big hit game A and the big hit game C. If the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 in the round game of the jackpot game D of 10R, the subsequent game state is changed to the high probability high base game as in the case of the jackpot game A or the jackpot game C. The state is set to the low probability high base game state instead of the state.

7-3. Game state Next, the game state will be further described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 according to the present embodiment has the “normal gaming state (low-probability low-base gaming state)”, the “low-probability high-base gaming state”, and the “high-probability high-base gaming state” among the gaming states shown in FIG. And any one of the "big hit gaming state".

  In the present embodiment, the normal probability state is set in both the normal game state (low-probability low-base game state) and the low-probability high-base game state. However, although the time saving state is not set in the normal gaming state, the time saving state is set in the low probability high base gaming state. As described above, in the time-saving state, the player can aim for a big hit under a smooth progress of the game. is there.

  Further, in the high-probability high-base game state of the present embodiment, the time-saving state is set as in the low-probability high-base game state. Furthermore, it is easier to win a jackpot than in the normal probability state. Therefore, the high-probability-high base gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state.

  Further, the jackpot game state is a game state in which the above-mentioned jackpot game A, jackpot game B, jackpot game C or jackpot game D is executed. In the round game of each big hit game, since at least one of the first big winning port 14 and the second big winning port 15 is opened so as to be able to enter a ball, the big hit gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player. In particular, there is no opening of the special winning openings 14 and 15 while the game state is set to the normal game state. Therefore, it can be said that the jackpot game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state with respect to the prize balls obtained by entering the game balls into the special winning ports 14 and 15.

  When the power is turned on for the first time in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the normal gaming state is set. Then, when the result of the special figure lottery at the time of setting the normal game state is a big hit, the game state shifts from the normal game state to the big hit game state, and the big hit game is performed. Specifically, if the result of the special figure 1 lottery is a jackpot symbol A, the jackpot game A is performed while the jackpot game B is set while the jackpot game B is set. If the result of the special figure 2 lottery is the big hit symbol C, the big hit game C is performed, and if the result of the special figure 2 lottery is the big hit symbol D, the big hit game D is performed.

  After the execution of the jackpot game, the gaming state shifts from the jackpot gaming state to the high probability high base gaming state or the low probability high base gaming state. In the present embodiment, when a gaming ball enters the specific area 16 in the second big winning opening 15 during the execution of the jackpot game, the gaming state after the execution of the jackpot game is changed to the high-probability high-base gaming state. If the game ball is not changed to the specific area 16 and changed, the gaming state after the execution of the jackpot game is changed to the low probability high base gaming state. In the present embodiment, it is easy to set the high probability high base game state after the execution of the big hit game A, the big hit game C or the big hit game D, and the low probability high base game state after the execution of the big hit game B.

  When the gaming state is set to the high-probability high-based gaming state, the number of special figure lotteries (special figure 1 lottery, special figure 2 lottery) reaches the first specific number ("130 times" in the present embodiment). Until then, the setting of the high probability high base gaming state can be continued. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a gaming machine (“ST machine”) equipped with “ST (special time)” of the maximum first specific number. Specifically, after the game state is set to the high probability high base game state, the number of special figure lotteries (special figure 1 lottery, special figure 2 lottery) in the high probability high base game state becomes the first specific number. When it has reached, the game state shifts from the high-probability high-base game state to the low-probability low-base game state (normal game state) before the start of the variable display of the special figure accompanying the next special figure lottery. However, after the gaming state was set to the high probability high base gaming state, the result of the special figure lottery became a big hit until the number of special figure lotteries in the high probability high base gaming state reached the first specific number. In this case, the setting of the high-probability / high-base game state is completed in the middle (that is, before the number of special figure lotteries reaches the first predetermined number). Then, the gaming state shifts from the high-probability, high-base gaming state to the jackpot gaming state, and the jackpot game is performed.

  On the other hand, when the low probability high base gaming state is set, the number of special figure lotteries (special figure 1 lottery, special figure 2 lottery) reaches the second specific number (“100 times” in the present embodiment). The setting of the low probability high base gaming state can be continued. Specifically, after the gaming state is set to the low probability high base gaming state, if the number of special figure lotteries in the low probability high base gaming state reaches the second specific number, the next special figure change Before the start of the game, the gaming state shifts from the low probability high base gaming state to the low probability low base gaming state. However, after the gaming state was set to the low probability high base gaming state, the result of the special figure lottery became a big hit until the number of special figure lotteries in the low probability high base gaming state reaches the second specific number. In this case, the setting of the low-probability-high base gaming state is completed in the middle (that is, before the number of special figure lotteries reaches the second predetermined number). Then, the gaming state shifts from the low-probability, high-base gaming state to the jackpot gaming state, and a jackpot game is performed.

  In the present embodiment, if a jackpot is won at the time of setting the normal gaming state, the gaming state is changed from the normal gaming state to the jackpot gaming state. The gaming state shifts to a base gaming state or a low probability high base gaming state. As described above, the jackpot gaming state and the high base gaming state are gaming states that are more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. Therefore, once the jackpot is won, the gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal gaming state is It will be set continuously. A state in which the jackpot gaming state and the high-base gaming state (high-probability-high-base gaming state, low-probability-high-based gaming state) are set in this way is particularly called a continuous advantageous state. The period in which the continuous advantageous state is set is also called a continuous advantageous period. In addition, the state consisting only of the jackpot game state in which the high base game state is set thereafter is also referred to as a continuous advantageous state for convenience.

  During the setting of the continuous advantageous state (during the continuous advantageous period), each time the jackpot gaming state is set, the player wins the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 which are opened in the jackpot game associated therewith. You can get a ball. Further, each time the high base gaming state is set, it is possible to aim for the next jackpot winning without reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, the number of game balls obtained by the player in one continuous advantageous state is calculated by adding (accumulating) the number of prize balls of the special winning openings 14 and 15 for each of the jackpot gaming states set in the continuous advantageous state. No big difference.

7-4. Various Effects Next, various effects in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment is executed in the normal game state (low-probability low-base game state) immediately after the high-base game state (high-probability high-base game state, low-probability high-base game state). The normal production mode can be executed. Also, “ending result display” can be executed during the ending of the jackpot game. Further, when the high-base gaming state (high-probability high-base gaming state, low-probability high-base gaming state) ends, the “result display at the end of working hours” can be executed. In addition, during the execution of the fourth normal effect mode, “result display after time reduction” can be executed.

7-4-1. Fourth Normal Effect Mode The fourth normal effect mode will be described with reference to FIG. The fourth normal effect mode is a “normal game state (low-probability low-base game state)”, similar to the above-described first to third normal effect modes (FIGS. 16 (B-1) to 16 (B-3)). This is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is performed and indicates that the game is in the normal game state. In the fourth normal effect mode, a background image (morning normal background image G131) representing the morning mountain view is displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG.

  In the fourth normal effect mode of the present embodiment, the last high base game state (high-probability high-base game state, low-probability high-base game state) of the last of the continuous advantageous state (continuous advantageous period) following the end of the above-described continuous advantageous state (continuous advantageous period) This is performed from the start of the setting of the normal game state shifted from the (state)). That is, this is the “dedicated effect mode” that is performed in accordance with the setting of the normal game state after the time saving state. Unlike the first to third normal effect modes, the game is not switched and executed during the setting of the normal game state.

  In the fourth normal effect mode, the number of special figure lotteries (special figure 1 lottery, special figure 2 lottery) from the start of the setting of the normal game state after the high base game state is the third specific number (in the present embodiment, "10 times"). Execution can continue until ") is reached. That is, if the number of special figure lotteries from the start of execution of the fourth normal production mode does not reach the third specific number, the execution is continued as it is, but if the third specific number is reached, the fourth normal production is performed. The mode switches to the other normal production mode. More specifically, for example, when the number of special figure lotteries is less than the third specific number during the execution of the fourth normal effect mode shown in FIG. 29A, the execution of the fourth normal effect mode continues. When the specific number of times is reached, at the start of the variable display of the special figure accompanying the next special figure lottery, the mode is switched to the first normal effect mode in which the daytime normal background image G102 shown in FIG. 29B is displayed. become.

  In the present embodiment, the “result display after time reduction” may be performed during the fourth normal effect mode. The result display after this time will be described later.

7-4-2. Ending result display The ending result display will be described with reference to FIG. 16 (C-3). This ending result display is performed using the image G112 displayed on the upper left of the display unit 50a during the ending in the big hit game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3).

The ending result display of the present embodiment is a display including at least the total number of prize balls by entering the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 paid out in the jackpot game being executed. .
In the present embodiment, when the jackpot game is performed “M times (M is an integer of 2 or more)” in a series of continuous game states (continuous advantageous period), the ending result display in the first jackpot game, and M This is different from the result display during ending in the second jackpot game. Specifically, the result display during ending in the first jackpot game is a display including at least the total number of prize balls in the special winning ports 14 and 15 in the (first) jackpot game. On the other hand, the ending result display at the M-th jackpot game indicates the total number of award balls 14 and 15 at the (M-th) jackpot game from the first to the (M-1) th. This is a display including at least the sum of the total number of prize balls in the special winning ports 14 and 15 in the jackpot game.

  Further, such a series of continuous game states (continuous advantageous periods) are started by winning a jackpot during the execution of the first to third normal effect modes, and a jackpot is executed during the execution of the fourth normal effect mode. The result display during ending is different between the case where the prize was started and the ending. Specifically, during the setting of the continuous advantageous state started by winning the jackpot during the first to third normal effect modes (continuous advantageous period), the first big hit game in the continuous advantageous state is displayed as the ending result display. Is displayed for the total number of prize balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 in everything from to the jackpot game being executed. If the jackpot game being executed is the first jackpot game in the continuous advantageous state, a display is made on the total number of prize balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 only in the first jackpot game.

  On the other hand, during the setting of the continuous advantageous state started by winning the jackpot during the fourth normal effect mode (continuous advantageous period), the ending result display is being executed from the first jackpot game in the continuous advantageous state. To the total number of winning balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 in all the games up to the jackpot game of the big hit games 14 and 15 in all the jackpot games in the continuous advantageous state immediately before the execution of the fourth normal effect mode. The display is made by adding at least the total number of award balls.

  For example, when the continuous advantageous state including the jackpot game to be executed is started by winning the jackpot during the first to third normal effect modes, and the jackpot game in the continuous advantageous state is only the jackpot game. In this case, as the result display during the ending of the jackpot game, the total number of prize balls that have been paid out in the first jackpot 14 and the second jackpot 15 paid out in the jackpot game is displayed. The display is made.

  Further, for example, when the continuous advantageous state including the jackpot game to be executed is started by winning the jackpot during the first to third normal effect modes, and the jackpot game in the continuous advantageous state is set to the jackpot game. If there are a plurality of jackpot games, the first jackpot game 14 and the second jackpot paid out in all jackpot games from the first time to the jackpot game are displayed as a result display during the ending of the jackpot game. A display regarding the total number of prize balls by entering the winning opening 15 is made.

  Further, for example, when the continuous advantageous state including the jackpot game to be executed is started by winning the jackpot during the fourth normal effect mode, and when the jackpot game in the continuous advantageous state is only the jackpot game. Is included in the total number of prize balls in the special winning ports 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game as the result display during the ending, and the total number included in the continuous advantageous state immediately before the execution of the fourth normal effect mode. Is displayed in which at least the total number of prize balls in the special winning ports 14 and 15 in the jackpot game is added.

  The fourth normal effect mode is a normal effect mode that is executed until the number of special figure lotteries reaches a third specific number (10 times) at the beginning of the normal game state. Therefore, for example, when the player is playing from the high base game state to the fourth normal effect mode of the normal game state, the game balls possessed by the player have not yet decreased in the fourth normal effect mode. It is in. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode and a plurality of continuous advantageous states sandwiching the normal gaming state are collectively referred to as a “quasi-continuous advantageous state”. And, in the ending result display of the jackpot game started by winning the jackpot during the fourth normal production mode, the big winning port paid out in all jackpot games executed so far in the semi-continuous advantageous state A display relating to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the prize balls of 14, 15 is made.

  As described above, when the ending result display is executed in the first big hit game state (big hit game) in the continuous advantageous state, the total number of prize balls in the big win ports 14 and 15 in the big hit game is determined by the player. Can be grasped. Also, when the ending result display is executed in the second or subsequent big hit game state (big hit game) in the continuous advantageous state or the quasi-continuous advantageous state, the prize of the big winning prize ports 14 and 15 in the previous big hit game is performed. The player can grasp the total number of balls. Therefore, the player can feel the number of game balls acquired so far in the continuous advantageous state or the quasi-continuous advantageous state.

7-4-3. Result display at the end of time reduction The result display at the end of time reduction will be described with reference to FIG. The result display at the end of the working hours is performed at the end of the variable display of the last (last) special map in the high base gaming state (high probability high base gaming state, low probability high base gaming state). More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 30, the process is performed using an image G121A displayed on the upper left of the display unit 50a. This image G121A is a display related to the total number of prize balls that have been paid out in a plurality of jackpot games and that have entered the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15. Note that the image G122 illustrated in FIG. 30 is an image indicating that the probable effect mode ends with the end of the setting of the high-probability-high base gaming state.

  In the result display at the end of the time reduction, the same content (numerical value) as the result display during ending performed in the immediately preceding jackpot game is shown. Specifically, for example, in the result display at the end of time saving performed during the variable display of the last special figure in the high probability high base game state, the ending result in the jackpot game immediately before the high probability high base game state is set The same value as the value displayed on the display is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, during the setting of the high-base gaming state (high-probability high-base gaming state, low-probability high-base gaming state), game balls enter the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15. Absent. Further, in the high base gaming state, the number of game balls possessed by the player does not decrease so much. Therefore, the number of game balls of the player does not increase or decrease during one setting of the high base gaming state. Therefore, in the result display at the end of the time reduction, the same content (numerical value) as the ending result display performed in the immediately preceding jackpot game is displayed.

7-4-4. Result display after time reduction Result display after time reduction will be described with reference to FIGS. 29, 31, and 32. In this case, the result display after the reduction in hours may be performed during the execution of the above-described fourth normal effect mode. Specifically, for example, this is performed using an image G132 displayed at the lower left of the display unit 50a as shown in FIG.

  The result display after time saving includes the same content (numerical value) as the result display at the end of time saving performed in the last round of the immediately preceding high base gaming state. Since the result display at the end of the time reduction in this embodiment has the same content (numerical value) as the result display during ending performed in the immediately preceding jackpot game, the result display after the time reduction is the ending performed in the immediately preceding jackpot game It has the same content (numerical value) as the middle result display. For example, the result display after the time reduction includes the numerical value displayed in the result display at the time of the end of the time reduction, which is performed during the variable display of the last special figure in the high-probability high base game state.

  In the case where the result display is performed after a reduction in time during the execution of the fourth normal effect mode, the result is displayed through at least the high base game state of the high base game state and the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode. It is possible to make the player recognize the total number of prize balls in the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 15 in all the jackpot games even during the setting of the normal gaming state immediately after shifting from the high base gaming state. It is possible. Therefore, when the result display is executed after the time reduction, the prize balls of the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 in all jackpot games performed in the continuous advantageous state or the quasi-continuous advantageous state until then. The player can feel the total number of numbers while the normal gaming state is being set, and can enjoy the lingering sound.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot is won in the normal game state (low-probability low-base game state) with the normal effect mode other than the fourth normal effect mode, and the high-base game state after execution of the jackpot game accompanying the win When the setting of the high base gaming state is completed without winning a further big hit during the setting of, the result display after the time saving is not performed in the fourth normal effect mode thereafter.

  Specifically, for example, a jackpot is won during the setting of the normal game state with the first normal effect mode, and after the jackpot game A, the special figure lottery (the special figure 1 lottery, At the end of the variable display of the last special figure (the last time) when the number of times of the drawing in FIG. Done. The image G121B shown in FIG. 31 (A-1) is different from the image G121A of FIG. 30 described above in that the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15 paid out in one big hit game A. It is a display related to the total number of award balls by entering a ball. The image G122 shown in FIG. 31A-1 is an image indicating that the probable effect mode ends with the end of the setting of the high-probability-high base gaming state. When the result display at the end of the time reduction shown in FIG. 31 (A-1) is performed without winning a further big hit after the execution of one big hit game (big hit game A), FIG. As shown, the result is not displayed after working hours.

  In addition, for example, a jackpot is won during the setting of the normal game state with the first normal effect mode, and after the jackpot game B, the number of the special figure lottery is set to the second specific number of times during the setting of the low probability high base game state ( At the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure that has reached “100 times”, the result display at the end of the time reduction shown in FIG. 31A-2 is performed. An image G121B shown in FIG. 31 (A-2) relates to the total number of prize balls that have been paid out in the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15 in one big hit game B. It is a display. The image G125 illustrated in FIG. 31 (A-2) is an image indicating that the time-saving effect mode ends with the end of the setting of the low-probability-high base gaming state. Even if the result of the time saving end display shown in FIG. 31 (A-2) is displayed without winning a further big hit after the execution of one big hit game (big hit game B), the result is displayed in FIG. 31 (B). As shown, the result is not displayed after working hours.

  During the setting of the normal jackpot game during the setting of the normal gaming state, and during the setting of the high base gaming state after the jackpot game accompanying the election, the player expects the next jackpot winning without significantly reducing the number of the obtained game balls. Tends to. In particular, when the high base game state after the jackpot game is the high probability high base game state, it is easier to win the jackpot than when the normal game state is set. They tend to play the base game state. Therefore, the player tends to win a further big hit during the setting of the high base gaming state, and expects a “continuous change” of the big hit game.

  Therefore, when the setting is completed without winning a further jackpot during the setting of the high base gaming state after the jackpot game, the player can only expect the next jackpot winning (“ren-chan”). It is easy to fall into disappointment. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in such a case, the result display is not performed after the time saving in the fourth normal effect mode thereafter, so that the player is not aware that the jackpot game has been completed only once. In addition, it is possible to leave the player's unfortunate mood without "stroking".

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 32A, when the result display after the time saving is performed together with the fourth normal effect mode on the display unit 50a, the variable display of the last special map is changed to the next special display. When a predetermined time (30 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed without starting variable display of the figure, the effect mode is switched from the fourth normal effect mode to the customer waiting effect mode shown in FIG. Then, the result display disappears from the display unit 50a after the reduction in working hours with the switching of the customer waiting effect mode. Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (C), even if the display unit 50a switches from the customer waiting effect mode to the fourth normal effect mode (even if it returns), the result display after the time saving time disappears once is performed again. Absent.

  The player has a high-probability high base game state in which the player can aim for the next jackpot without significantly reducing the number of game balls, and in addition, the possibility of winning the next jackpot is relatively high. The game may be stopped at the timing when the setting of the high-probability-based gaming state is completed. Therefore, in the normal game state set immediately after the end of the high base game state, the player may stop playing the game during the fourth normal effect mode with the result display after the reduction of time.

  In a configuration in which the result display after the time reduction continues until the fourth normal effect mode ends, if the result display after the time reduction that is not relevant to the new player who has started the game thereafter is performed, the new player is displayed. May be annoying to the eye, which is not preferable. In addition, when the player stops playing the game, time elapses from the end of the variable display of the last special figure (special figure 1 and special figure 2) without starting the variable display of the next special figure, It is easy to switch to the customer waiting effect mode.

  Therefore, when the result mode is switched from the fourth normal effect mode to the customer waiting effect mode while the result display after the time reduction is being performed together with the fourth normal effect mode on the display unit 50a, the immediately preceding continuous advantageous state Alternatively, it is considered that the player who was playing in the semi-continuous advantageous state has stopped the game, and the result display is stopped after the reduction of working hours together with switching to the customer waiting effect mode. Thereby, when a new player proceeds with the game, it is possible to consider the mood of the player.

7-5. Next, a description will be given of the various result displays described above (result display during ending, result display at the end of working hours, and result display after working hours).

7-5-1. First Specific Example With reference to FIG. 33, various result displays when one big hitting game state (big hitting game) and one high base game state (time saving state) are set in one continuous advantageous state will be described. I do. In FIG. 33, the normal game state (low-probability low-base game state) → the jackpot game state → the high-base game state (the high-probability high-base game state or the low-probability high-base game state) → the game state shifts to the normal game state. The timing chart in the case is shown. FIG. 33 (A-1) shows a case where "big hit game A" is executed as a big hit game in the big hit game state, and FIG. 33 (A-2) shows a case where "big hit game B" is executed as a big hit game. It should be noted that one big hit gaming state shown in FIG. 33 is called "big hit I", a high base gaming state set after this "big hit I" is called "time saving state I", and set after this "time saving state I". The normal game state to be played is referred to as “after-hours-saving state I”.

  In both the case shown in FIG. 33 (A-1) and the case shown in FIG. 33 (A-2), the ending result display is performed during the ending of the big hit game of “big hit I”. The content of the result display during the ending at this time relates to the total number of prize balls that have been paid out in the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 paid out in the round game of the jackpot game. is there. This allows the player to grasp the approximate number of game balls obtained by executing the jackpot game.

  Also, in both the case shown in FIG. 33 (A-1) and the case shown in FIG. 33 (A-2), the result display at the end of the time reduction is the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state I”. It is done at the end of At this time, the content of the result display at the end of the working hours relates to the same numerical value as the value displayed in the ending result display performed in “Big hit I”. That is, like the ending result display, it relates to the total number of prize balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of "big hit I". Thereby, in addition to being able to recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends, the player can again grasp the approximate number of game balls that can be obtained in the jackpot gaming state in the continuous advantageous state.

  In addition, in the continuous advantageous state shown in FIG. 33 (A-1) and the continuous advantageous state shown in FIG. 33 (A-2), since the jackpot game state is set only once, the state after the continuous advantageous state is set. The result display after the time reduction is not performed in the "after the time reduction state I". This makes it possible to make the player not aware that the jackpot game state (jackpot game) has been completed only once.

7-5-2. Second Specific Example Next, various result displays in a case where a plurality of jackpot gaming states (jackpot games) are set in one continuous advantageous state will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 34 (B-1), the game state is the normal game state (low probability low base game state) → the big hit game state (“big hit I”) → the high base game state (“time saving state I”) → the big hit game A timing chart in the case of transition from a state ("big hit II") to a high base game state ("time reduction state II") → a normal game state ("after time reduction state I") is shown. In addition, FIG. 34 (B-2) shows that after the high base gaming state (“time saving state II”) in FIG. 34 (B-1), the big hit gaming state (“big hit III”) → the high base gaming state (“hour saving time”). A timing chart when the gaming state shifts to “state III”) is shown.

  In the case shown in FIG. 34 (B-1), the ending result display is performed during the ending of the big hit game of “big hit I” and “big hit II”. The content of the result display during the ending in “Big Hit I” is the total number of prize balls that have been paid out in the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15 paid out in the round game of the big hit game. It is about. As a result, the player can grasp the approximate number of game balls obtained by executing the jackpot game in the "jackpot I".

  On the other hand, the content of the result display during the ending in “Big Hit II” is the total number of awarded balls at the big wins 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game, and is paid out in the big hit game of “Big Hit I”. It is related to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of prize balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15. For this reason, the player can collectively grasp the approximate number of the game balls that can be obtained by executing the jackpot game in the "jackpot I" and the jackpot game in the "jackpot II" twice. I have. As described above, in the high base gaming state, the player can play the game without reducing the number of the game balls. Therefore, in the "time saving state I" set between the "big hit I" and the "big hit II", the number of game balls does not decrease so much. Therefore, from the ending result display of the "big hit II", the player can grasp the approximate number of the total game balls that have been obtained so far in the continuous advantageous state.

  In the case shown in FIG. 34 (B-1), the result display at the end of the time reduction is performed at the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state II”, and the line is displayed in the “time reduction state I”. I can't. The content of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state II” is the same as the value shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit II”. That is, the total number of prize balls of the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "Big Hit I" and the total number of prize balls of the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "Big Hit II" It is related to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number. In addition, in the "time reduction state II" in addition to the "time reduction state I", the game balls do not decrease so much. Therefore, from the result display during the ending in "Big Hit II", the player can not only recognize that the continuous advantageous state has ended, but also can grasp the approximate number of game balls that can be obtained in the continuous advantageous state again. It is.

  Further, in the case shown in FIG. 34 (B-1), the jackpot gaming state is set twice in the continuous advantageous state, and the result display after the time reduction is the fourth normal effect accompanying the “post-hours-saving state I” after the continuous advantageous state. Performed at the beginning of the mode. The content of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical value shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state II”. That is, the total number of prize balls of the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "Big Hit I" and the total number of prize balls of the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "Big Hit II" It is related to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number. Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time saving end at the end of the last "time saving state II" of the continuous advantageous state, the player also sets the continuous advantageous state during the setting of the normal gaming state after the end of the continuous advantageous state. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect that the jackpot game has been executed a plurality of times (twice).

  On the other hand, in the case shown in FIG. 34 (B-2), the ending result display is performed during the ending of the big hit game of “big hit I”, “big hit II” and “big hit III”. The content of the ending result display at "big hit I" and the content of the ending result display at "big hit II" are the same as those in the case shown in FIG. The result display during the ending in "Big Hit III" indicates that the total number of winning balls of the big hits 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game concerned, and the big winning prize paid out in the big hit game "Big Hit I". It is related to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of prize balls of 14, 15 and the total number of prize balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "big hit II". For this reason, the player obtains the approximate number of game balls obtained by executing three jackpot games, ie, the jackpot game at “jackpot I”, the jackpot game at “jackpot II”, and the jackpot game at “jackpot III”. It can be grasped collectively. In addition, in the "time saving state II" set between "big hit II" and "big hit III", the game balls do not decrease so much as in "time saving state I", so from the ending result display in "big hit III" In addition, the player can grasp the approximate number of the game balls obtained so far in the continuous advantageous state.

  In the case shown in FIG. 34 (B-2), the result display at the end of the time reduction is performed at the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state III”, and the “time reduction state I” or the “time reduction Not performed in "State II". The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state III” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. In addition, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much even in "time saving state III" after "big hit III", the player can recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends from the ending result display in "big hit III". Thus, the approximate number of game balls obtained in the continuous advantageous state can be grasped again.

  Further, in the case shown in FIG. 34 (B-2), the jackpot game state is set three times in the continuous advantageous state, and the result display after the time reduction is the fourth normal effect accompanying the “after the time reduction state I” after the continuous advantageous state. Performed at the beginning of the mode. The contents of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical values shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time saving end at the end of the last "time saving state III" of the continuous advantageous state, the player also sets the continuous advantageous state during the setting of the normal gaming state after the end of the continuous advantageous state. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect of the execution of the jackpot game a plurality of times (three times).

7-5-3. Third Specific Example Next, various result displays in a case where two consecutive advantageous states are set via the normal gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35 (C-1) shows a timing chart including two continuous advantageous states which do not constitute a quasi-continuous advantageous state, whereas FIG. 35 (C-2) shows a first continuous advantageous state. A timing chart in a case where a jackpot has been won during the setting of the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode after the end and the continuous advantageous state is returned again is shown. FIG. 35 (C-2) shows a quasi-continuous advantageous state including two continuous advantageous states sandwiching the normal game state accompanied by the fourth normal effect mode.

  In the case shown in FIG. 35 (C-1), the result display during the ending is performed during the ending of the jackpot game of “big hit I” and the big hit game of “big hit II”, respectively. The ending result display of “Big Hit I” is related to the total number of awarded balls in the big wins 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of “Big Hit I”, and the ending result of “Big Hit II” The display relates to the total number of prize balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of “big hit II”.

  Even in the case shown in FIG. 35 (C-2), as in FIG. 35 (C-1), the result display during the ending is performed during the ending of both the jackpot game of “Big Hit I” and the jackpot game of “Big Hit II”. Will be However, the result display during the ending in "Big Hit II" will be paid out in the "Big Hit I" jackpot game to the total number of prize balls in the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the "Big Hit II" jackpot game. It is related to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of award balls of the special winning openings 14 and 15. For this reason, the player obtains two jackpot games, one of which is a jackpot game with "big hit I" and a big jackpot game with "big hit II", which is executed through the normal game state with the fourth normal staging mode. It is possible to collectively grasp the approximate number of game balls that have been made.

  In the "time saving state I" of FIG. 35 (C-1) and FIG. 35 (C-2), the number of game balls does not decrease so much. On the other hand, in the “non-hours-saving state”, that is, the “post-hours-saving state I”, the number of game balls gradually decreases as the number of special figure lotteries increases. However, in the early stage of the "after-hours reduction state I" (for example, during the period from the start of the "after-hours reduction state I" to the time when the number of special figure lotteries is about 10), the number of gaming balls does not decrease so much.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 35 (C-1), when the “time saving state I” is set and a jackpot is won after the transition from the fourth normal effect mode to the normal effect mode other than the fourth normal effect mode, The "big hit II" is set in a state where the number of game balls is reduced to some extent in the normal game state. Therefore, the "big hit II" shown in FIG. 35 (C-1) does not include the total number of prize balls in the big hit prize ports 14 and 15 in the big hit game "big hit I". The ending result display is performed for the total number of award balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the above.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 35 (C-2), when a jackpot is won during the fourth normal production mode associated with the “time saving state I”, the number of special figure lotteries is reduced to “big hit II” within 10 times. Is set. Therefore, in the "big hit II" shown in FIG. 35 (C-2), the total number of prize balls of the big win ports 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of "big hit I" and the big hit game of "big hit II", respectively. When the ending result display for the numerical value obtained by adding the ending is performed, it is difficult for the player to notice the difference between the ending result display and the game ball possessed by the player. Further, such a ending result display allows a player who is continuously playing from the previous continuous advantageous state to recognize that the number of game balls possessed further increases, and to motivate the player to play the game. Is possible.

  In the case shown in FIG. 35 (C-1), the result display at the end of the time reduction is the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state I” and the last special figure in the “time reduction state II”. This is performed at the end of the variable display. The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state I” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit I”. In other words, it relates to the total number of prize balls in the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I". As described above, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much in the "time saving state I", the player can recognize that the previous continuous advantageous state is ended from the result display at the end of the time saving in "big hit I". In addition to the above, it is possible to grasp again the approximate number of the game balls obtained in the previous continuous advantageous state.

  In addition, in the case shown in FIG. 35 (C-1), the content of the result display at the end of time saving performed in “hour saving state II” is the same as the value shown in the ending result display performed in “big hit II”. , From the result display at the end of the time savings in "Big Hit II", the player can recognize that the second consecutive advantageous state is over, and in addition, the approximate number of game balls obtained in the second consecutive advantageous state Can be grasped again.

  On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 35 (C-2), the result display at the end of the time reduction is the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state I” and the special figure of the last time in the “time reduction state II”. At the end of the variable display. The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state I” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit I”. In other words, it relates to the total number of prize balls in the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I". As described above, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much in the "time saving state I", the result display at the time of the end of the time saving in "big hit I" allows the player to recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends. Thus, the approximate number of game balls obtained in the previous (first time) continuous advantageous state can be grasped again.

  In addition, since the content of the result display at the end of the time saving performed in "hour saving state II" is the same as the value shown in the ending result display performed at the "big hit II", the result at the time saving end at "big hit II" From the display, the player can recognize that the second continuous advantageous state (quasi-continuous advantageous state) has ended, and in addition to the previous semi-continuous advantageous state including the first and second continuous advantageous states. It is possible to grasp the approximate number of game balls obtained in the above again.

  In the case shown in FIG. 35 (C-1), the result display after the time reduction is not executed in either the “state I after the time reduction” or the “state I after the time reduction”. In contrast, in the “after-hours reduction state II” illustrated in FIG. 35C-2, the after-hours reduction result display is executed. Specifically, in the first continuous advantageous state, the jackpot gaming state is set only once, and the result display after the time reduction is not performed in the "after the time reduction state I". On the other hand, since the jackpot gaming state is set twice in the first and second successive advantageous states, the time saving is started at the time of the start of the fourth normal effect mode according to the “post-hours saving state II” after the two consecutive advantageous states. Post result display is performed. The content of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical value shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state II”. That is, it relates to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of awarded balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "big hit I" and the big hit game of "big hit II". Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time reduction at the end of the "time reduction state II", the player can perform a plurality of (two times) big hit games during the setting of the normal game state after the end of the continuous advantageous state. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect of the execution.

7-5-4. Fourth Specific Example Next, similarly to FIG. 35 (C-2), various result displays when two consecutive advantageous states are set via the fourth normal effect mode associated with the normal game state are described with reference to FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 36 (D), the gaming state is a normal gaming state (low-probability low-base gaming state) → a large-hit gaming state (“big-hit I”) → a high-base gaming state (“time-saving state I”) → a large-hit gaming state (“ Jackpot II ") → High base game state (" Time saving state II ") → Normal game state (" After time saving state I ") → Big hit game state (" Big hit III ") → High base game state (" Time saving state III ") -> The timing chart at the time of shifting to a normal game state ("after-hours reduction state II") is shown. It is different from FIG. 35 (C-2) in that two big hitting game states are set in the preceding continuous advantageous state of FIG. 36 (D).

  In the case shown in FIG. 36 (D), the result display during ending is performed during the ending of the jackpot game of “big hit I” and the big hit game of “big hit II” and “big hit III”, respectively. The ending result display of “big hit I” relates to the total number of prize balls of the big winning prize ports 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of “big hit I”. Thereby, the player can grasp the approximate number of the game balls obtained by executing the jackpot game of "jackpot I".

  On the other hand, the result display during the ending in "Big Hit II" shows that the total number of award winning balls 14 and 15 awarded in the Big Hit II and the big hit in "Big Hit I" It is related to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of prize balls of the special winning openings 14 and 15 thus obtained. In "time saving state I" set between "big hit I" and "big hit II", the game balls do not decrease so much, and the result display during the ending allows the player to set "big hit II" in the continuous advantageous state. ”, It is possible to grasp the approximate number of the total game balls that have been obtained.

  In addition, the result display during the ending of "Big Hit III" indicates that the total number of award winning balls 14 and 15 paid out in the Big Hit III and "Big Hit I" and the "Big Hit II" And the total number of prize balls in the special winning ports 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game. As described above, in the "time-saving state II" and the "after-hours-saving state I" set between "big hit II" and "big hit III", the game balls do not decrease so much. From the result display during the ending, the player can grasp the total approximate number of the game balls obtained up to the "big hit III" including the continuous advantageous state.

  In the case shown in FIG. 36 (D), the result display at the end of the time reduction is the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state II” and the variable display of the last special figure in the “time reduction state III”. Will be held late in the game. It is not performed in "Time Saving State I". The content of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state II” is the same as the value shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit II”. That is, it relates to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of awarded balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "big hit I" and the big hit game of "big hit II". In addition, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much even in "time saving state II" after "big hit II", the player can recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends from the ending result display in "big hit II". In addition to the above, the approximate number of game balls obtained in the continuous advantageous state can be grasped again.

  The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state III” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. In addition, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much even in "time saving state III" after "big hit III", the player can recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends from the ending result display in "big hit III". Thus, the approximate number of game balls obtained in two consecutive advantageous states can be grasped again.

  In the case shown in FIG. 36D, the result display after the time reduction is executed in both the “state after the time reduction” and the “state after the time reduction II”. Specifically, since the jackpot gaming state is set twice in the previous continuous advantageous state, the result display after the time saving is displayed at the start of the fourth normal effect mode associated with the “post-hours saving state I” after the previous continuous advantageous state. Done. The content of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical value shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state II”. In other words, it relates to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of awarded balls in the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in each of the jackpot game of "jackpot I" and the jackpot game of "jackpot II". Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time saving end at the end of the last "time saving state II" of the continuous advantageous state, the player also sets the continuous advantageous state during the setting of the normal gaming state after the end of the continuous advantageous state. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect that the jackpot game has been executed a plurality of times (twice).

  Furthermore, since the jackpot gaming state is set three times in the two consecutive advantageous states, the result display after the time saving is displayed in the fourth normal effect mode according to the “post-hours saving state I” after the two consecutive advantageous states. Sometimes done. The contents of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical values shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time reduction at the end of the "time reduction state III", the player can set the normal game state after the end of the continuous advantage state a plurality of times in the two consecutive advantageous states. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect of the (three times) execution of the jackpot game.

7-5-5. Fifth Specific Example Next, similarly to FIG. 35 (C-2) and FIG. 36 (D), various types in the case where two consecutive advantageous states are set via the fourth normal effect mode associated with the normal game state. The result display will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 38 (E) shows that the gaming state is a normal gaming state (low-probability low-base gaming state) → a big-hit gaming state (“big-hit I”) → a high-base gaming state (“time-saving state I”) → a normal gaming state (“ After-hours-saving state I) → jackpot gaming state ("big-hits II") → high-base gaming state ("hours-saving state II") → big-hit gaming state ("big-hits III") → high-base gaming state ("hours-saving state III") -> The timing chart at the time of shifting to a normal game state ("after-hours reduction state II") is shown. It differs from FIG. 35 (C-2) and FIG. 36 (D) in that two big hitting game states are set in the continuous advantageous state after FIG. 38 (E).

  In the case shown in FIG. 38 (E), the ending result display is performed during the ending of the jackpot game of “big hit I” and the big hit game of “big hit II” and “big hit III”, respectively. The ending result display of “big hit I” relates to the total number of prize balls of the big winning prize ports 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of “big hit I”. Thereby, the player can grasp the approximate number of the game balls obtained by executing the jackpot game of "jackpot I".

  In addition, the result display during the ending in "Big Hit II" will be paid out in the "Big Hit I" jackpot game to the total number of award winning balls 14 and 15 awarded in the "Big Hit II" jackpot game. It is related to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of award balls of the special winning openings 14 and 15. As described above, in both the "time reduction state I" and the "time reduction state I", since the number of game balls does not decrease so much, the player can display the "big hit II" including the preceding continuous advantageous state by the result display during the ending. It is possible to grasp the approximate number of the total game balls obtained up to now.

  In addition, the result display during the ending of "Big Hit III" indicates that the total number of award winning balls 14 and 15 paid out in the Big Hit III and "Big Hit I" and the "Big Hit II" And the total number of prize balls in the special winning ports 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game. As described above, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much in "time saving state II", the player obtains from the ending result display in "big hit III" to "big hit III" including the previous continuous advantageous state It is possible to grasp the approximate number of the game balls formed.

  In the case shown in FIG. 38 (E), the result display at the end of the time reduction is the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in the “time reduction state I” and the variable display of the last special figure in the “time reduction state III”. Will be held late in the game. It is not performed in "Time Saving State II". The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state I” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit I”. In other words, it relates to the total number of prize balls in the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I". As described above, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much in the "time saving state I", the result display at the time of the end of the time saving in "big hit I" allows the player to recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends. Thus, the approximate number of the game balls obtained in the previous continuous advantageous state can be grasped again.

  The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state III” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. As described above, since the game balls do not decrease so much even in the "time saving state III", from the result display at the end of the time saving in "big hit III", in addition to being able to recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends, The approximate number of game balls obtained in two consecutive advantageous states can be grasped again.

  In the case shown in FIG. 38 (E), the result display after the time reduction is not executed in the “after the time reduction state I”, but is executed in the “after the time reduction state II”. Specifically, since the jackpot gaming state is set only once in the preceding continuous advantageous state, the result display after the time reduction is not performed in the “state I after the time reduction”. On the other hand, since the jackpot game state is set three times in the two consecutive advantageous states, the result after the time saving is displayed at the start of the fourth normal effect mode according to the “state I after the time saving” after the two consecutive advantageous states. Is performed. The contents of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical values shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time reduction at the end of the "time reduction state III", the player can set the normal game state after the end of the continuous advantage state a plurality of times in the two consecutive advantageous states. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect of the (three times) execution of the jackpot game.

7-5-6. Sixth Specific Example Next, various result displays in a case where three consecutive advantageous states are set via the fourth normal effect mode associated with the normal game state will be described with reference to FIG. 39 (F).

  In the case shown in FIG. 39 (F), the ending result display is performed during the ending of the “big hit I”, the “big hit II” big hit game, and the “big hit III” big hit game. The ending result display of “Big Hit I” is related to the total number of awarded balls in the big wins 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of “Big Hit I”, and the ending result of “Big Hit II” The display shows the ending in “Big Hit II”. The result display shows the total number of prize balls at the big wins 14 and 15 paid out in the Big Hit II and the Big Hit I. It is related to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of awarded balls in the large winning prizes 14 and 15 issued. In addition, the result display during the ending of “Big Hit III” indicates the total number of prize balls of the big win prize ports 14 and 15 paid out in the big hit game of “Big Hit III”, the big hit game of “Big Hit I” and the “Big Hit”. The total number of prize balls of the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of “II”.

  In the case shown in FIG. 39 (F), the result display at the end of time reduction is the end of the variable display of the last (last) special figure in “time reduction state I” and the variable display of the last special figure in the “time reduction state II” And at the end of the variable display of the special map of the last time of the "time saving state III". The contents of the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time saving state I” are the same as the numerical values shown in the ending result display performed in the “big hit I”. In other words, it relates to the total number of prize balls in the jackpots 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I". As described above, since the number of game balls does not decrease so much in the "time saving state I", the result display at the time of the end of the time saving in "big hit I" allows the player to recognize that the continuous advantageous state ends. Thus, the approximate number of game balls obtained in the first continuous advantageous state can be grasped again.

  In addition, since the content of the result display at the end of the time saving performed in "hour saving state II" is the same as the value shown in the ending result display performed at the "big hit II", the result at the time saving end at "big hit II" From the display, the player can recognize that the second continuous advantageous state (quasi-continuous advantageous state) has ended, and in addition to the previous semi-continuous advantageous state including the first and second continuous advantageous states. It is possible to grasp the approximate number of game balls obtained in the above again.

  In addition, since the content of the result display at the end of the time saving performed in "hour saving state III" is the same as the value shown in the result display during the ending performed at "big hit III", the result of the time saving end at "big hit II" From the display, the player can recognize that the continuous advantageous state has ended, and in addition, can obtain the game balls obtained in the previous semi-continuous advantageous state including the first, second, and third continuous advantageous states. Approximate numbers can be grasped again.

  In the case shown in FIG. 39 (F), the result display after the time reduction is not executed in the “after the time reduction state I”, but is executed in the “after the time reduction state II” and the “after the time reduction state III”. Specifically, in the first continuous advantageous state, the jackpot gaming state is set only once, and the result display after the time reduction is not performed in the "after the time reduction state I". On the other hand, since the jackpot gaming state is set twice in the first and second successive advantageous states, the time saving is started at the time of the start of the fourth normal effect mode according to the “post-hours saving state II” after the two consecutive advantageous states. Post result display is performed. The content of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical value shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state II”. That is, it relates to a numerical value obtained by adding the total number of awarded balls in the special winning openings 14 and 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "big hit I" and the big hit game of "big hit II". Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time reduction at the end of the "time reduction state II", the player can perform a plurality of (two times) big hit games during the setting of the normal game state after the end of the continuous advantageous state. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect of the execution.

  Further, since the jackpot game state is set three times in the first, second, and third consecutive advantageous states, the fourth normal effect mode starts with the “after-hours-saving state III” after the three consecutive advantageous states. Sometimes the result display is performed after working hours. The contents of the result display after the time reduction is the same as the numerical values shown in the result display at the end of the time reduction performed in the “time reduction state III”. In other words, it refers to the numerical value obtained by adding the total number of the winning balls of the jackpots 14, 15 paid out in the jackpot game of "jackpot I", the jackpot game of "jackpot II" and the jackpot game of "jackpot III". is there. Therefore, in addition to the result display at the end of the time reduction at the end of the "time reduction state III", the player can perform a plurality (three) of jackpot games during the setting of the normal game state after the end of the continuous advantageous state. It is possible to immerse in the lingering effect of the execution.

8. Effects of the First Embodiment As described in detail above, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment includes a “big hit II” in FIG. 35 (C-2), a “big hit III” in FIG. 36 (D), In the special game in which the result display during the ending of “big hit II” in FIG. 38 (E) and “big hit II” and “big hit III” in FIG. 39 (F) is performed as if the continuous advantageous state (or semi-continuous) before execution. It is possible to show to the player as a special game in the period of "advantageous state". Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment of successfully "pulling back" the jackpot game shortly after the end of the continuous advantageous state (or the quasi-continuous advantageous state) period.

  In addition, when the result display during the ending of “big hit II” in FIG. 35 (C-1) is performed, after a period of the continuous advantageous state (continuous advantageous period) before execution (that is, the fourth normal effect) It is possible for the player to know that the jackpot game played by shifting to the normal effect mode other than the fourth normal effect mode via the mode) is not related to the continuous advantageous state.

  Also, “post-hour reduction state I” in FIG. 34 (B-1), “post-hour reduction state I” in FIG. 34 (B-2), “post-hour reduction state II” in FIG. 35 (C-2), and FIG. D) “Post-hour reduction state I” and “Post-hour reduction state II”, FIG. 38 (E) “Post-hour reduction state II”, and FIG. 39 (F) “Post-hour reduction state II” and “Post-hour reduction state III”. The result display after the time saving of "" allows the player to enter the continuous advantageous state (or the semi-continuous advantageous state) during the setting of the normal gaming state with the fourth normal production mode after the continuous advantageous state (or the semi-continuous advantageous state). It is possible to recall that the jackpot game was executed. In other words, the result display after such a reduction in hours allows the player to be immersed in the continuous advantageous state (or the semi-continuous advantageous state) for a while after the continuous advantageous state (or the semi-continuous advantageous state). ing.

  In addition, the execution of the result display after such a reduction in time allows the continuous advantageous state (or the quasi-continuous advantageous state) to end, and the player to be able to grasp that the fourth normal effect mode of the normal gaming state is being performed. I have.

  Players tend to expect the jackpot game to be performed as much as possible during the continuous advantage state. Therefore, as a result, when the number of executions of the jackpot game is one (single) during the continuous advantageous state, the player is likely to feel disappointed.

  Therefore, when the number of executions of the jackpot game in the continuous advantageous state period is one, the result display is not performed after the time reduction during the setting of the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode, so that the jackpot game is not performed. It is possible to prevent the player from recalling that the period of the continuous advantageous state in which the number of executions is “one-shot” has ended, and to keep the player's disappointing mood uncomfortable.

  Also, “post-hour reduction state I” in FIG. 34 (B-1), “post-hour reduction state I” in FIG. 34 (B-2), “post-hour reduction state II” in FIG. 35 (C-2), and FIG. D) “Post-hour reduction state I” and “Post-hour reduction state II”, FIG. 38 (E) “Post-hour reduction state II”, and FIG. 39 (F) “Post-hour reduction state II” and “Post-hour reduction state III”. The result display after the time saving of "", the player recalls that the jackpot game was executed in the period of the continuous advantageous state during the setting of the normal gaming state with the fourth normal effect mode after the period of the continuous advantageous state. be able to. In other words, such a result display after the time reduction enables the player to be immersed in the lingering state of the continuous advantageous state for a while after the continuous advantageous state period (continuous advantageous period).

  In addition, during the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode, when the result display after the above-mentioned time saving is performed, and when the mode is switched to the customer waiting effect mode, the result display after the time saving is terminated, Before the end of the normal gaming state with the fourth normal effect mode, it is possible to end the execution of the result display after the time reduction under another condition (switch to the customer waiting effect mode).

  The player may end the game at the timing when the period of the continuous advantageous state (or the quasi-continuous advantageous state) ends. In this case, if the result display after the time reduction is performed during the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode after the continuous advantageous state, the result display after the time reduction may become annoying for a new player. .

  Therefore, when the result display is being performed after the reduction in time during the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode, 30 seconds have elapsed since the end of the variable display of the special symbol without starting the next variable display. When the mode is switched to the customer waiting effect mode, the result display ends after a short time. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 in which the player has stopped during the result display after the reduction in time and switched to the customer waiting effect mode, the result display after the reduction in time has ended. Therefore, it is easy for a new player to start playing a game on the pachinko gaming machine PY1 for which the result display has been completed after the hours have been reduced. Thus, it is possible to consider the mood of the player who starts a new game during the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode.

  If the high base game state (high probability high base game state, low probability high base game state) and the jackpot game state are set in series without going through the fourth normal effect mode, the last of them is set. The result display at the end of time reduction is performed during the variable display of the last special map in the high base game state, and the result display after time reduction is performed with the start of the normal game state (low probability low base game state) set after that. There are times when it is done. Also, when the high base game state, the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode, and the jackpot game state are set in series, the last special figure of the last high base game state is variably displayed. During the time reduction, the result display is performed at the end of the time reduction, and the result display after the time reduction is performed at the same time as the start of the normal game state set thereafter. Therefore, when the result display at the end of the working hours is also displayed in addition to the result display at the end of the working hours, the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening in all the jackpot games performed through the high base gaming state. It is possible for the player to recognize the total number of fifteen prize balls at the end of the last high base gaming state and during the setting of the normal gaming state thereafter. Therefore, it is possible for the player to be immersed in the end of the execution of the jackpot game in addition to the end of the last high base game state and also after the end.

  In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery becomes a big hit during the fourth normal effect mode during the setting of the normal game state, and the game state is changed from the normal game state to the big hit game state, the normal game state is set. To the total number of game balls indicated by the result display at the end of the time-saving game performed at the end of the high-base game state before the change, to the total winning balls 14 and 15 opened by the jackpot game in the jackpot game state after the change. The ending result display with the total number added is performed during the execution of the jackpot game. Therefore, it is possible to make the player see the jackpot game in which the result display is performed during the ending as if it were a jackpot game in a continuous advantageous state. As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment of successfully "pulling back" the jackpot game shortly after the end of the last high base gaming state.

  The ending result display is performed during the ending of the jackpot game in the jackpot game state after the change from the normal game state. Therefore, in the ending of the jackpot game that is won and executed during the fourth normal effect mode shortly after the end of the last high base gaming state, it is smaller than the recognition of the player at the end of the final high base gaming state. It is possible to make the player realize that more game balls have been acquired.

  In addition, the result display after time saving is the fourth normal state of the normal gaming state set after the last high base gaming state in the continuous advantageous state when the number of times of setting the jackpot gaming state in the continuous advantageous state is one. Not performed in the production mode. Therefore, it is possible to make the player unaware that the continuous advantageous state has been completed with only one set of the jackpot gaming state (ie, “single shot”).

  In addition, when the result display is being performed after a reduction in time for a predetermined period, the variable display of the next special figure is not started from the end of the variable display of the special figure (special figure 1, special figure 2) for 30 seconds. Has elapsed and the mode is switched from the fourth normal effect mode to the customer waiting effect mode, the result display disappears after the time reduction. Therefore, before the fourth normal effect mode ends, it is possible to end the execution of the result display after time saving under other conditions.

9. Next, a description will be given of a modification of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment. In the description of the modification, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be appropriately combined with each other. Further, the technical features in the first embodiment and the following modifications can be appropriately deleted unless described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, the payout in the jackpot game (special game) is a payout accompanying the entry of a game ball into the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15. However, the payout in the special game is used for paying out the game balls to the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 15 and for entering the ball other than the special winning openings 14 and 15. It is also possible to add the accompanying payout. Therefore, the result display during ending (display of the total number of payouts) is changed to the total number of payouts due to the ball entry into the special winning openings 14 and 15 during execution of the special game, and to the entrances other than the special winning openings 14 and 15. The display may include at least the sum of the total number paid out by entering the ball. In addition, the result display (third display, special display) after the hours are paid out by entering the special winning opening 14, 15 during the execution of the special game in the immediately preceding continuous advantageous state (or quasi-continuous advantageous state). The display may include at least the sum of the total number paid out and the total number paid out for the ball entrances other than the special winning openings 14 and 15. Further, the result display at the end of the working hours is displayed in the total number of coins paid out by entering the special winning openings 14 and 15 during execution of the special game in the continuous advantageous state (or the semi-continuous advantageous state). The display may include at least a value obtained by adding the total number paid out by entering a ball entrance other than 14 and 15.

  In the first embodiment, the ending result display (display of the total number of payouts) in the second and subsequent jackpot games (special games) in the continuous advantageous state (or quasi-continuous advantageous state) is displayed in the continuous advantageous state (or The display includes the total number paid out during the execution of all the special games from the first time of the semi-continuous advantageous state) to the special game. However, such a display of the total number of payouts is changed to the total number paid out during the execution of all the special games, and the setting of the high base game state (advantageous game state) in the continuous advantageous state (or the quasi-continuous advantageous state). It may be a display in which the total number paid out by entering the various entrances is added. The various entrances are at least one of the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the first winning opening 14, and the second winning opening 15.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the result display at the end of the working hours is displayed during the execution of the jackpot game (special game) in the continuous advantageous state (or the quasi-continuous advantageous state) by the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning. The display includes at least the total number paid out by the ball entering the mouth 15. However, the result display at the end of the working hours is changed to the total number paid out in the special game, and various entrances during the setting of the high base gaming state (advantageous gaming state) in the continuous advantageous state (or quasi-continuous advantageous state). The total number paid out by entering the ball may be displayed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the execution of the specific period can be continued from the start of the setting of the normal game state after the high base game state (advantageous game state) until the number of special figure lotteries reaches the third specific number. The set period of the normal game state with the fourth normal effect mode was set. However, instead of such a normal game state setting period, the specific period may be an elapsed time from the start of the normal game state setting after the advantageous game state.

  Further, the third specific number is set to ten times, but may be set to a number other than ten. However, the number of times equal to or less than 20 is more preferable as the third specific number in that the number of game balls does not decrease so much in the early stage of the normal game state.

  In the first embodiment, when the number of executions of the jackpot game (special game) in the continuous advantageous state period (the player advantageous period) is one, the result display after the reduction in time is not performed in the subsequent specific period. The configuration was adopted. However, if the number of executions of the special game in the player's advantageous period is L or less (L is an integer of 2 or more), the result display is not performed after the time reduction in the subsequent normal game state, and when the number of times exceeds L, A configuration in which the result display after the working hours is reduced in a specific period thereafter may be adopted.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the number of executions of the jackpot game (special game) in the continuous advantageous state period (player advantageous period) is one, the type of the last advantageous gaming state in the player advantageous period Regardless of this, the result display is not performed after working hours in a specific period thereafter.
