Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can perform variable display and can be controlled to a plurality of advantageous states including a first advantageous state that is advantageous to a player and a second advantageous state that is advantageous to the first advantageous state.

  Conventionally, as a game state after the big hit game state (advantageous state), it is controlled to a highly accurate high base state (special state) in which the variable display is executed more frequently in the period until the predetermined variable display is executed. There is a gaming machine that executes a variable display with a short variable display period when a variable display that is a big hit is executed in the highly accurate and high base state (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2016-168136, A

  However, in Patent Document 1, a big hit can occur continuously within a short period of time, so it is conceivable that the gambling performance becomes excessively high. Therefore, it is conceivable to execute variable display with a long variable display period in a special state so as not to continuously generate a big hit in a short period, but in this case, an increase in dissatisfaction due to a long variable display period. There is a problem that games are delayed.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is possible to prevent the advantageous state from continuously occurring in a short period of time, and increase the dissatisfaction or delay due to the lengthened variable display period. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can prevent

There is provided a first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The special pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

  The “variable display” of the special symbol is, for example, variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols (the same applies to other symbols described later). The fluctuation includes update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of the special symbol or a normal symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative pattern, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scroll-displayed or updated and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged / reduced. In addition, the variation includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed in a blinking manner. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derived or derived display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols described later). The variable display may be referred to as a variable display or a variable.

  The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also referred to as "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also referred to as "second special symbols". In addition, the special figure game using the first special figure is called a "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also called a "second special figure game".

When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the previous execution period of the general education game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but cannot immediately execute the general education game based on the passage) , The universal figure game based on the passage is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In this ordinary figure game, if a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol for a regular symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the ordinary symbol is "per ordinary symbol". On the other hand, as a fixed ordinary symbol, if a normal symbol other than the regular symbol (a symbol deviating from the symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "deleting the symbol". When the "universal figure hit" is reached, the opening control is performed to open the variable winning ball device 6B for a predetermined period (the second start winning port is opened).

  When the game ball enters the first start winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

  When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  In addition, when the game ball enters into the starting winning opening (winning prize) during the period during execution of the special drawing game, or during the period when it is controlled to the big hitting game state or the small hitting game state described later (starting winning occurs, If the special drawing game based on the starting prize cannot be immediately executed), the special drawing game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  In the special figure game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later.) Is displayed as a stop special symbol, the "big hit symbol" is reached and the big hit symbol is given. If a predetermined special symbol different from (a small hit symbol, for example, "2") is stopped and displayed, it is a "small hit". Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (disappearing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, "disappear".

  After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", the big hit game state is controlled as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. After the display result in the special figure game is "small hit", the small hit game state is controlled.

  In the big hit game state, the player can get the prize ball by entering the game ball into the special winning opening. Therefore, the big hit game state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the big hit game state, and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous for the player.

  In addition, the "big hit" is set to the big hit type. For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and maximum open period) of the special winning opening, and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., described later) are prepared, and big hits are made accordingly. The type is set. As the big hit type, a big hit type that can obtain a large number of prize balls, or a big hit type that has few prize balls or almost no prize balls may be provided.

  In the small hitting game state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as in the big hit game state in the case of some big hit types (the number of times of opening the special winning opening is the same as the number of rounds described above, and the closing timing of the special winning opening is also the same. Etc.) the special winning opening is opened. As with the big hit type, a small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

  After the jackpot gaming state is over, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability changing state according to the jackpot type.

  In the time saving state, control (time saving control) for shortening the average special figure changing time (period during which the special figure is changed) is executed as compared with the normal state. In the time saving state, the average figure change time (the period during which the figure is changed) is shortened compared to the normal state, and the probability of being "Public hit" in the figure game is improved compared to the normal state. The control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

  In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability variation control in which the probability that the display result is "big hit" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The probability variation state is a state that is more advantageous to the player because it is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and a "big hit" is likely to occur.

  The time saving state and the probability changing state are continued until one of the end conditions such as that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times and the next big hit game state has been started. The end condition that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also referred to as the number of times cutting (shortening of the times of cutting, probability change of times of cutting, etc.).

  The normal state is a game state other than special states such as a big hit game state, which is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a probability variation state, etc., and the display result in the figure game is "universal figure win". Probability and probability that the display result in the special figure game is "big hit", etc., the pachinko gaming machine 1 returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on, such as when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the initial setting state (for example, when the system is reset. It is in the same controlled state as when the process was not executed).

  A state in which the probability variation control is executed is also referred to as a high accuracy state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not executed is also referred to as a low accuracy state. A state in which the time saving control is executed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which the time saving control is not executed is also referred to as a low base state. By combining these, it is said that the time saving state is a low accurate high base state, the definite change state is a high accurate high base state, and the normal state is a low accurate low base state. The highly accurate and low base state is also referred to as the highly accurate low base state.

  After the small hit game state is over, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the special figure game display result is "small hit" is continuously controlled (however, "small hit" occurs If the special figure game at that time is the predetermined number of special figure games in the above-mentioned number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). Note that the display result of the special figure game does not have to be "small hit".

  The gaming state may change based on that the game ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the special winning opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, it may be controlled to be in a certain change state after the big hit game state.

(Progress, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game or exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The effect will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. However, in addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 is performed. May be performed by turning on / off the light, the operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

  As effects to be executed according to the progress of the game, in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first special figure game is displayed. In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as a fixed special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special figure game and the second special figure game, the fixed decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) becomes the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. ) Is also stopped (derived).

  In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display for a decorative pattern which is not stopped and displayed when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of a big hit combination described later. Is an aspect that continues.

  In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the proportion of the display result (the display result of the special drawing game or the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern) that is a “big hit” (also called a big hit reliability or a big hit expectation degree) according to the effect mode. Different types of reach effects are executed. Reach productions include, for example, normal reach and super-reach, which has higher jackpot reliability than normal reach.

  When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern which is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration) The display result of the variable display of the pattern is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative pattern (for example, “7”) is stopped and displayed together on a predetermined effective line in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. ..

  In the case of "probability variation jackpot" that is controlled to the probability variation state after the jackpot gaming state is finished, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7", etc.) are also stopped and displayed, and after the jackpot gaming state is transformed to the probability variation state. In the case of "uncertain variation big hit (normal big hit)" that is not controlled, an even number of decorative symbols (for example, "6" etc.) may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, the odd decorative pattern is also referred to as a probability variation design, and the even decoration pattern is also referred to as a non-probability variation design (normal design). After the reach mode is achieved with the non-probability variation pattern, the promotion effect that finally becomes the “probability variation jackpot” may be executed.

  When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", as a display result of the variable display of the decorative design on the screen of the image display device 5, a fixed decorative design (for example, "" 1 3 5 ”) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is“ small hit ”). As an example, the decorative patterns forming the chances are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. It should be noted that the display result of the special drawing game is "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit game state of a mode similar to small hit game state) and when it is "small hit". , A common fixed decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

  When the display result of the special figure game is “out”, the variable display mode of the decorative design does not become the reach mode, but as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (“ (Also referred to as "non-reach out") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "non-reach out"). When the display result is “out”, after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a predetermined reach combination other than the jackpot combination (“reach out”). (Also referred to as “”) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is “out of reach”).

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect that gives a notice of the jackpot reliability is executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern. The notice production includes a notice production that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display being executed and a look-ahead notice production that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display in which execution is suspended). As the prefetching notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be executed.

  Further, in the image display device 5, once the decorative design is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative design, and then the variable display is resumed, one variable display can be simulated like multiple variable display. You may make it perform a pseudo continuous production.

  Even during the big hit game state, a big hit mid-game production for notifying the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit performance, an effect for notifying the number of rounds or a promotion effect showing that the value of the big hit game state is improved may be executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, the small hitting production which notifies the small hitting game state is executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, in some big hitting type (the big hitting type of the big hitting game state of the form similar to the small hitting game state, for example, the big hitting type which makes the following game state the high-precision state) big hitting game By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not be able to know whether the present is in the small hitting game state or the big hitting game state. In such a case, by performing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high-accuracy state and the low-precision state. May be.

  Further, for example, when the special drawing game or the like is not executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of the special figure game (including a big hit type), a variation pattern used when the special figure game is executed (details will be described later). )), The status of the game (for example, the start and end of variable display, the status of opening of the special winning opening, the occurrence of winnings, the number of reserved memories, the game status), the command for specifying the occurrence of an error, and the like.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board that is independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and effects based on the received effect control command (various effects according to the progress of the game, It has a function of executing various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, and notification of power failure recovery.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121, thereby performing a process together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above-described function of the effect control board 12, and an effect to be executed). (Including the determination of). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 is used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The effect control CPU 120 displays the effect execution based on a detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by the player is detected, and is a signal that appropriately indicates the operation content). The control unit 123 may be instructed.

  The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes an effect based on an effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120.

  The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display the effect image by supplying the image display device 5 with a video signal according to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designating signal (a signal designating the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to output the sound in synchronization with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Alternatively, a lamp signal (a signal that specifies the lighting / extinguishing state of the lamp) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. In addition, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function like the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(motion)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes the game control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

  In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets an interrupt prohibition (step S1). Then, necessary initial setting is performed (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, internal device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port, etc.) register settings, settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

  Next, it is determined whether the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply board. When the power is turned on with the clear switch turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing the flag, counter, and buffer stored in the RAM 102, and sets an initial value in the work area.

  Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control command is received, the effect control CPU 120 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized, for example, in the image display device 5.

  When the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power cut), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop time process immediately before the power supply is stopped due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop process, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes a process of adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.) for advancing the game, the state of the backup flag and an error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and the backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (performed by using the error detection code) and determines whether or not the data is normal (step). S5). In step S5, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data at the time when the power supply is stopped, for example, based on the parity bit and the checksum. If it is determined that they match, the data in the RAM 102 is determined to be normal.

  When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state at the time of stopping the power supply, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply was stopped. In the restoration process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents of the RAM 102 (contents of backed up data). As a result, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped, and if the special symbol is changing, the variation of the special symbol is restarted from the state before the restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. Will be.

  And CPU103 transmits the production control command which directs recovery from power failure to production control board 12 (Step S7). In accordance with this, a production control command for designating a backed-up game state before power interruption, and a production control for designating the display result of the special figure game being executed when the special figure game is being executed. You may make it transmit a command. For these commands, the same commands as the commands set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the production control CPU 120 receives the production control command that specifies the time of restoration from the power interruption, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the recovery from the power interruption has been performed or is being restored from the power interruption. The screen is displayed to The effect control CPU 120 may display an appropriate screen based on the effect control command.

  After finishing the restoration process or the initialization process and transmitting the production control command to the production control board 12, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that a timer interrupt is taken at regular intervals (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and interrupts are permitted (step S12). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can regularly execute timer interrupt processing.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to execute the predetermined switch process, so that the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port are performed via the switch circuit 110. Whether or not the detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S21). Then, by executing a predetermined main side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be issued if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 and start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of times of winning) and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability has changed) is output (step S23).

  Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes the special symbol process process for each timer interruption, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the special symbol game, controlling the big hit game state and the small hit game state, controlling the game state, etc. See below).

  Following the special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, and based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41), the management of execution and suspension of the general figure game, It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "universal figure hit". The execution of the general figure game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the general figure reservation display unit 25C is turned on to display the number of general figure reservations.

  After executing the normal symbol process process, as a part of the game control timer interrupt process, a process when an electric power interruption occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, etc. may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set the transmission of the effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted, and then the game control timer interrupt process is ended.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

  In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the holding information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the number of holding memories is executed. When the start winning occurs, a random number value for determining the display result (including the big hit type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as holding information. In addition, a process of pre-reading a display result or a variation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After storing the hold information and the number of holding memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for designating the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of holding memories, and the look-ahead determination is performed on the effect control board 12. .. The effect control command at the time of the start winning set to be transmitted in this way is performed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control processing of step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process processing is completed. Is transmitted to.

  After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, a transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

  The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether to start the first special figure game or the second special figure game, based on the presence or absence of the hold information. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit" or "small hit" and "big hit" when the big hit type Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a falling symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set in correspondence with the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. The special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). In addition, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the conditions for starting the special drawing game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order winning).

  When making various determinations based on random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which the determination value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the determination result) are referenced. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

  The fluctuation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This fluctuation pattern setting process uses a random number value for fluctuation pattern determination to select one of a plurality of fluctuation patterns based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is "big hit" or "small hit". It includes the processing to determine. In the fluctuation pattern setting process, when the fluctuation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2”, and the fluctuation pattern setting process ends.

  The variation pattern is the execution time of the special figure game (special figure change time) (also the execution time of variable display of the decorative pattern), the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern (whether reach or not), the variable display of the decorative pattern. Is specified, and is also referred to as a variable display pattern.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, the setting process for changing the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol It includes the process of measuring. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

  The special symbol stop process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B to stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, the stop display (deriving) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes the process to set up for. When the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Further, when the display result is “out”, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”. When the display result is "small hit" or "off", the gaming state is updated when the time-saving state or the probability variation state is controlled, and when the cut-out is completed. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

  The big hit opening preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening preprocessing includes processing for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot gaming state and setting the jackpot opening state based on that the display result is "jackpot" Has been. When the special winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an open upper limit period for opening the special winning opening and an upper limit number of times of execution of the round are set according to which the big hit type is. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening preprocessing is completed.

  The big hit opening process in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". In this big hit opening process, the process of measuring the elapsed time after the big winning opening is opened, and the big winning opening based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return the open state from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after performing a process of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The processing during the big hit opening ends.

  The post-big hit opening process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This big jackpot post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round to open the big winning opening has reached the set upper limit number of executions, when the maximum number of executions has been reached, the big hit game state It includes the process of setting to terminate the. Then, when the round execution count has not reached the upper limit execution count, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”, while when the round execution count reaches the upper limit execution number, the special figure process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

  The big hit ending process of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". In this big hit end processing, waiting processing until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending effect as the effect operation for notifying the end of the big hit game state is executed, or a certain change corresponding to the end of the big hit game state It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

  The small hit opening pre-processing of step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "8". This small hit opening pre-processing includes processing for setting the big winning opening to the open state in the small hit game state based on the display result of "small hit". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit opening preprocessing is ended.

  The small hitting open process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". This small hit opening process is the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening was opened, and the timing to return the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time etc. A process for determining whether or not it is included is included. When the timing of ending the small hitting game state is reached by returning the special winning opening to the closed state, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the processing during opening of the small hitting ends.

  The small hit ending process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small hitting end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period during which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hitting game state is executed. Here, when the small hit game state ends, the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit game state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hitting game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small hitting end processing is ended.

(Main operation of the production control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12. Register settings of the installed CTC (counter / timer circuit) are performed. Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control processing, control for performing an initial operation of the movable body 32 such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation are executed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on the CTC register setting, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and stands by.

  On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated each time a predetermined time has elapsed. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, an interrupt occurs. It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, a performance control command is fetched from a predetermined input port of the input ports included in the I / O 125 that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command fetched at this time is stored in the effect control command receiving buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the production control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to the off state (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are read. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read effect control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or the RAM 122 is stored in the RAM 122 so that the effect control command received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process processing or the like. It turns on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display the background according to the game state.

  After the command analysis process is executed in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, a sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and the movable body 32. The control for operating various effect devices, such as the drive operation of, is performed. Further, with respect to the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control commands transmitted from the main board 11.

  Following the effect control process processing of step S76, effect random number updating processing is executed (step S77), and at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by software. Then, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be executed before returning to the processing in step S73.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice production are performed based on the production control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, the processing for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold memories specified from the effect control command.

  After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

  The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative symbols in the image display device 5, based on whether or not a command or the like specifying start of variable display is received from the main board 11. Etc. are included. When it is determined that the variable display of the decorative pattern on the image display device 5 is started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

  The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the decorative display variable display (fixed decorative pattern), the variable display mode of the decorative design, the reach effect and various The presence / absence of execution of various effects such as a notice effect, its mode, and execution start timing are determined. Then, the effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) that reflects the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start the variable display of the decorative pattern, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process ends. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start the variable display of the decorative design in response to the instruction to start the variable display of the decorative design.

  The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control section 123 to display an effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. Or driving the movable body 32, outputting voice or sound effect from the speakers 8L, 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and sending a command (illumination signal) to the lamp control board 14. Various effect control is performed during variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the variable display end of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating that the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed from the main board 11 is received. Corresponding to what has been done, the fixed decorative design which is the display result of the decorative design is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the variable display effect effect processing ends.

  The special figure winning waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3". In the special figure winning waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the effect control command for designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the production control command for designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command designates the start of the big hit game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "6." Update to ". On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hitting game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the effect processing during the small hitting. Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command has elapsed without receiving the command for designating the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is “out”. Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0” which is the initial value. When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the special figure hit waiting process ends.

  The effect process during the small hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is "4". In the effect processing during the small hit, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect contents in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the set contents. . Further, in the small hitting production effect process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to end the small hitting game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small hitting finish effect. The value is updated to a certain "5", and the effect processing during the small hit is finished.

  The small hit end production process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In the small hitting end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the setting contents. To execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the small hit end effect processing is ended.

  The big hit midfield effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big hit mid effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect contents in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Further, in the big hit midfield effect process, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating termination of the big hit game state from the main board 11. It updates to "7" and finishes the big hit midfield effect process.

  The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and performs various kinds of effect control of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Run. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the ending effect process is ended.

  As described above, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state is the probability changing state (high accuracy state), more determination values than in the normal state or the time saving state (low accuracy state) are It is assigned to the special map display result of "big hit". Thereby, in the probability variation state (high accuracy state) in which the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low accuracy state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and the big hit game state is controlled. Then, the probability to be determined (in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, 1/300 when the set value is 1, 1/280 when the set value is 2, 1/260 when the set value is 3, Compared to 1/240 when the value is 4, 1/220 when the set value is 5, 1/200 when the set value is 6, compared to the special figure display result as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state Then, the probability of being determined becomes higher (in the feature unit 179SG of the present embodiment, 1/200 when the setting value is 1, 1/180 when the setting value is 2, and 1 / when the setting value is 3). 160, 1/140 when the setting value is 4, setting If it is 5 1/120, 1/100 in the case of setting value of 6). That is, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability changing state (highly accurate state), it is determined that the jackpot gaming state is controlled as compared to the normal state and the time saving state. The determination value is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so as to be higher.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-7, the ratio of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is different according to each set value (for example, the setting If the value is 1, the ratio of the jackpot probability in the probability changing state to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time shortening state is 1.5 times, and if the setting value is 2, the jackpot probability in the probability changing state to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is The multiplying factor is about 1.56 times, and if the setting value is 3, the multiplying factor of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is 1.625 times). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the short-time state at each set value. That the magnification of the jackpot probability all constant (e.g., 5 times) may be set to.

  Further, in each of the first special figure display result determination table, regardless of the game state and the set value, the probability that is determined to control the special figure display result "small hit" to the small hit game state has the same value. The judgment value is assigned as follows. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), in the first special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is set as "small hit" regardless of the game state or the set value. The probability of being determined to control the game state is set to 1/200.

  On the other hand, in each of the second special figure display result determination tables, the probability that the special figure display result is set as "small hit" to be controlled in the small hit game state regardless of the game state and the set value is the first special value. The determination value is assigned so that it has the same value as that of the graphic display result determination table. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), in the second special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is set as "small hit" regardless of the game state or the set value. The probability of determining to control the game state is set to 1/100.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the probability that the special figure display result is set as “small hit” regardless of the set value and the probability of being controlled to the small hit game state is the same probability is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability of determining to control the small hitting game state as the small hitting result may be different according to the set value. Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the probability of being determined to control the small hitting game state is set as "small hitting" as the special hitting display result according to the fluctuation special drawing. The invention is not limited to this, and the probability that the special figure display result is set as "small hit" and the small hit game state is controlled may be the same probability regardless of the fluctuation special figure.

  Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit determination value assigned to “big hit” or “small hit” in each display result determination table, the display result for the first special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state In the determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 among the hit determination values is set as the common numerical value range of the big hit determination values for determining the big hit regardless of the set value.

  When the setting value is 1, only the common numerical value range of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the “jackpot”), while the setting value 2 is set. In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical value range of the jackpot determination value is 1238 to 1253 in the setting value 2, 1238 to 1272 in the setting value 3, 1238 to 1292 in the setting value 4, and 1238 to 1317 in the setting value 5. The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346.

  That is, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535. Among the possible hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the common big hit judgment values are Numerical values within the numerical range plus the non-common numerical range are assigned to "big hit". Further, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1238 as a reference as the set value increases.

  For this reason, the jackpot probability increases with the reference value of the jackpot determination value (the jackpot reference value) set to 1020, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical value range continuous to the common numerical value range increases. Go

  In the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values is for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. Is set to the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value of. Focusing on the case where the setting value is 6, when the setting value is 6, while 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values are set in the numerical range of the big hit determination value as described above, The hit determination value is 32767-33094, with 32767 as the reference value for the small hit determination value (small hit reference value) in a numerical range different from the range for the big hit determination value (1020 to 1346) in the case of the setting value 6. Since the range is set, it is possible to prevent the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

  Next, in the first special figure display result determination table in the case where the game state is the probability variation state, the range of 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is a big hit determination value for determining a big hit regardless of the set value. Is set to the common numerical range of.

  When the set value is 1, only the common numerical value range of the big hit determination value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 is set. In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical value range of this jackpot determination value is 1347 to 1383 in the setting value 2, 1347 to 1429 in the setting value 3, 1347 to 1487 in the setting value 4, and 1347 to 1556 in the setting value 5. The set value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

  That is, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the probability change state, when the setting value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the large numerical value falls within the common numerical value range among the big hit judgment values. Numerical values within the range including the non-common numerical value range are assigned to the "big hit". Further, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

  For this reason, the jackpot probability increases with the reference value of the jackpot determination value (the jackpot reference value) set to 1020, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical value range continuous to the common numerical value range increases. Go

  Incidentally, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is a probability change state, the hit determination value is the same as the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state. Of these, the range from 32767 to 33094 is set as the common numerical value range of the small hit determination value for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, while 1020 to 1674 of the hit determination values are set in the numerical range of the big hit determination value as described above, The hit determination value is 32767 to 33094 in the numerical range different from the big hit determination value range (1024 to 1674) in the case of the setting value 6 as 32767 as the reference value of the small hit determination value (small hit reference value). Since the range is set to a range, it is prevented that the numerical range of the small hit determination value overlaps with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

  In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range of 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is a big hit determination value for determining a big hit regardless of the set value. Is set to the common numerical range of.

  When the setting value is 1, only the common numerical value range of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the “jackpot”), while the setting value 2 is set. In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical value range of the jackpot determination value is 1238 to 1253 in the setting value 2, 1238 to 1272 in the setting value 3, 1238 to 1292 in the setting value 4, and 1238 to 1317 in the setting value 5. The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346.

  That is, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535. Among the possible hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the common big hit judgment values are Numerical values within the numerical range plus the non-common numerical range are assigned to the "big hit". Further, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1238 as a reference as the set value increases.

  For this reason, the jackpot probability increases with the reference value of the jackpot determination value (the jackpot reference value) set to 1020, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical value range continuous to the common numerical value range increases. Go

  In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range of 32767 to 33421 of the hit determination values is for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. Is set to the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value of. Focusing on the case where the setting value is 6, when the setting value is 6, while 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values are set in the numerical range of the big hit determination value as described above, The hit determination value is 32767 to 33421 as a reference value of the small hit determination value (small hit reference value) in the numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value (1020 to 1346) in the case of the setting value 6. Since the range is set, it is possible to prevent the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

  Next, in the second special figure display result determination table in the case where the game state is the probability variation state, the range of 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is a big hit determination value for determining a big hit regardless of the set value. Is set to the common numerical range of.

  When the set value is 1, only the common numerical value range of the big hit determination value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 is set. In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical value range of this jackpot determination value is 1347 to 1383 in the setting value 2, 1347 to 1429 in the setting value 3, 1347 to 1487 in the setting value 4, and 1347 to 1556 in the setting value 5. The set value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

  That is, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, in the display result determination table for FIG. 2 when the game state is the probability change state, when the set value is 1, a value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the large numerical value is not included in the common numerical value range. Numerical values within the range including the common numerical value range are assigned to "big hit". Further, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

  For this reason, the jackpot probability increases with the reference value of the jackpot determination value (the jackpot reference value) set to 1020, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical value range continuous to the common numerical value range increases. Go

  In addition, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the probability change state, the hit determination value is the same as the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state. Of these, the range from 32767 to 33421 is set as the common numerical value range of the small hit determination value for judging the small hit regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, from 1020 to 1674 of the hit determination values are set in the numerical range of the big hit determination value, the small value is set. The hit determination value is 32767 to 33421 as a reference value of the small hit determination value (small hit reference value) in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value (1020 to 1674) in the case of the set value 6. Since the range is set to a range, it is possible to prevent the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

  As described above, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, in each display result determination table, regardless of the game state and the set value, the common numerical value range or the common numerical value range and the non-common numerical value range are set based on the hit judgment value of 1020. The judgment value included in the continuous numerical value range of 1 is set as the numerical value range of the big hit judgment value, and the continuous numerical value range of 1 is determined based on the hit judgment value 32767 regardless of the gaming state and the set value (common. The variable display result is determined by using the determination value included in the numerical range) as the numerical range of the small hit determination value.

  Furthermore, in each of these display result determination tables, when the variation special figures are the same, the numerical range of the small hit determination value is the same regardless of the game state (the number of determination values included in the numerical range of the small hit determination value is Same). Further, the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit determination value differs depending on whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure (small in the display result determination table for the first special figure). The number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the hit judgment value is 328, whereas the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value in the second special figure display result judgment table is about 655. On the other hand, the numerical range itself of the small hit determination value is set with 32767 as the reference value (small hit reference value).

  Further, as described above, in each gaming state, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the probability that it is determined to control the jackpot gaming state with the special map display result being "big hit" is the highest. The lower the value of the set value, the larger the value of the set value is assigned the judgment value so that the probability of being determined to control the big hit game state as "big hit" is set (big hit probability: set value 6> set value). 5> set value 4> set value 3> set value 2> set value 1).

  That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table corresponding to the set value set at that time, and when the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the big hit, the big hit (big hit) with respect to the special symbol A to jackpot C) is decided. Further, when MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hit, it is determined that the special symbol is a small hit. That is, the winning of the big hit and the small hit is determined with a probability according to the set value. The “probability” shown in FIG. 8-7 indicates the probability (ratio) of a big hit and the probability (ratio) of a small hit. Also, to determine whether to make a big hit, it means to decide whether to control the big hit gaming state, the first special symbol display device 179SG004A or the second special symbol display device 179SG004B stop symbols in It also means deciding whether or not to make a jackpot design. Also, to determine whether to make a small hit, it is to determine whether to control the small hit game state, stop in the first special symbol display device 179SG004A or the second special symbol display device 179SG004B It is also to decide whether or not to make the symbol a small hit symbol.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, a total of 6 set values 1 to 6 are provided as set values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. The set values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more.

  8-8 (A) and 8-8 (B) are explanatory diagrams showing a big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. Is. Of these, FIG. 8-8 (A), using the pending storage based on the game ball winning the first start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) determines the jackpot type It is a table when doing. Further, FIG. 8-8 (B) determines the jackpot type by using the pending storage based on the fact that the game ball has won the second starting winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed). It is a case table.

  The jackpot type determination table, when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot pattern, the jackpot type is one of jackpot A to jackpot B, based on the random number (MR2) for jackpot type determination. Is a table that is referenced to determine

  Here, the jackpot type in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 8-9. In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as the big hit type, big hit A and big hit B are set, in which the time saving control and the high-accuracy control are executed after the end of the big-hit gaming state to shift to the high-accuracy high-base state. There is. In addition, in the present feature section 179SG, a form in which a big hit A and a big hit B (probability variation big hit) drink are set as a big hit type in which high-precision control is always executed after the end of a big hit game is exemplified. Is not limited to this, and as the big hit type, a big hit (non-probability variation big hit) in which the high-precision control is not executed after the end of the big-hit game may be set.

  The big hit game state by "big hit A" is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed 7 times (so-called 7 rounds) that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state that is advantageous to the player. The big hit game state by "B" is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed 16 times (so-called 16 rounds) for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player.

  The time saving control executed after the big hit game state by "big hit A" is 100 times the special figure game is executed, or is the big hit game state before the 100 special figure game is executed. This ends the process. The time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "big hit B" is that the special figure game is executed 150 times or becomes the big hit game state before the special figure game of 150 times is executed. This ends the process.

  In addition, the probability variation control executed after the big hit game state by "big hit A" and the probability variation control executed after the big hit game state by "big hit B" are executed 150 times of the special figure game. Or, the big hit game state is entered before the special figure game of 150 times is executed, and the game ends.

  That is, in this feature unit 179SG, after the big hit game state by "big hit A" is finished, first, the game state is controlled to the highly accurate high base state. Then, when the variable display result is not a big hit during the 100 special drawing games in the high-accuracy-high base state (variable display 100 times), the gaming state is controlled to the low-accuracy high-base state. If the variable display result is not a big hit during the 50 special figure games (50 variable displays) in the low accurate high base state, the gaming state is controlled to the low accurate low base state. On the other hand, after finishing the big hit game state by "big hit B", first, the game state is controlled to a highly accurate high base state. Then, when the variable display result is not a big hit in the 150 special figure games (150 variable displays) in the high-accurate high-base state, the gaming state is controlled to the low-probability low-base state.

  In addition, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, an example in which three types of big hits A to C are provided as big hit types, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may provide less than four types or four or more types.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (A), in the jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 199 of the determination value range of MR2 of 0 to 299 is assigned to the jackpot A. 100 to 299 are assigned to the big hit B. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (B), in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), from 0 to 299 of the determination value range of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A. 100 to 299 are assigned to the jackpot B. That is, in the characterizing portion 179SG of the present embodiment, the jackpot type determination rate is different depending on whether the winning opening in which the gaming ball has won is the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening (game). When the winning opening in which the ball wins is the second starting winning opening, the jackpot B is determined as the jackpot type is set higher than in the case where the winning opening in which the gaming ball wins is the first starting winning opening. On the other hand, regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the jackpot type is determined at a common ratio.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the big hit type is determined using MR2 which is a random number value for big hit type determination, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the big hit type is It may be determined using MR1 which is a random number value for determining the special figure display result.

  Further, the ROM 101 also stores a fluctuation pattern determination table for determining the fluctuation pattern based on the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, and the fluctuation pattern is selected from among the plurality of types described above according to the pre-determined result. It is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns.

  Specifically, as the variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern determination table for the big hit used when it is predetermined that the variable display result is "big hit" and the variation display result is "small hit" The jackpot variation pattern determination table that is used when it is predetermined and the variation pattern determination table that is used when the variable display result is determined to be “off” are prepared in advance. ing.

Is assigned as. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (C), in the variation pattern determination table for small hits, 0 to 997 of the variation value range 0 to 997 of the determination value of MR3 are variation patterns of the small hit ( It is assigned to PC1-1). Although only the PC 1-1 is provided as the variation pattern for small hits in the characteristic portion 179SG of the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more variation patterns for small hits are provided. You may provide the fluctuation pattern of.

  In addition, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation, the variation pattern determination table A for deviation used when the number of reserved memories is one or less in the low base state where the game state is not subjected to time saving control, and the low base Variation pattern determination table B for outliers used when the total number of pending storages is 2 to 4 in the state, and variation for outliers used when the total number of pending storages is 5 to 8 in the low base state The pattern determination table C and the out-of-shift variation pattern determination table D used when the game state is the high base state where the time saving control is performed are prepared in advance.

  In the variation pattern determination table A for outliers, the variation pattern of non-reach outliers without shortening (PA1-1), the variation pattern of out of normal reach (PA2-1), the variation pattern of outreach α out of reach (PA2-2), the super pattern A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern of out-of-reach β (PA2-3) within a range that the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take.

  As shown in FIG. 8-11 (A), in the variation pattern determination table A for out-of-range (for one or less low base medium total pending storage number), 1 to 450 out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3. Are assigned to the non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-1), 451 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 900 are assigned to the super reach α deviation. It is assigned to the variation pattern (PA2-2), and 901 to 997 are assigned to the variation pattern of the super-reach β deviation (PA2-3).

  Further, in the fluctuation pattern determination table B for deviation, the shortened non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA1-2), the normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA2-1), and the super-correspondence corresponding to the total pending storage numbers of 2 to 4 are shown. A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern with out-of-reach α (PA2-2) and the variation pattern with out-of-reach β (PA2-3) within the range that the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 8-11 (B), in the variation pattern determination table B for outliers (for the number of low-base medium total pending storage numbers 2 to 4), 1 to 1 of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3 is used. Up to 500 are assigned to the non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-2), 501 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 900 are deviated from super reach α. No. 901 to 997 are assigned to the variation pattern (PA2-3) of deviation of the super reach β.

  Further, in the deviation variation pattern determination table C, the shortened non-reach variation pattern (PA1-3), the normal reach variation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super-corresponding total storage number of 5 to 8 are stored. A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern with out-of-reach α (PA2-2) and the variation pattern with out-of-reach β (PA2-3) within the range that the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 8-11 (C), in the variation pattern determination table C for out-of-range (for 5 or more low base medium total pending storage numbers), 1 to 550 out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3. Are assigned to the non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-3), 551 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 900 are assigned to the super reach α deviation. It is assigned to the variation pattern (PA2-2), and 901 to 997 are assigned to the variation pattern of the super-reach β deviation (PA2-3).

  In addition, in the variation pattern determination table D for deviation, the shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-4), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super reach α deviation variation pattern corresponding to the time saving control are performed. (PA2-2), a predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern (PA2-3) with a deviation of super reach β from the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take.

  As shown in FIG. 8-11 (D), in the out-of-range variation pattern determination table D (for high base medium), in the range of 1 to 997 of the determination values of MR3, 1 to 550 are non-reach variation. It is assigned to the pattern (PA1-4), 551 to 700 is assigned to the normal reach out variation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 900 is assigned to the super reach α out variation pattern (PA2-2). , And 901 to 997 are assigned to the variation pattern (PA2-3) of deviation of super reach β.

  As described above, when the out-of-range variation pattern determination tables A to D are used, the rate of determining the non-reach variation pattern or the normal reach variation pattern is set higher than the rate of determining the super reach variation pattern. Further, when the deviation variation determination tables A to D are used, regardless of the variation pattern determination table, 701 to 900 of the determination values are variation patterns of super-reach α deviation, and 901 to 997 are variation of super reach β. If the variable display is assigned to each variation pattern, that is, if the variable display result is out of range, the variation pattern of super reach is determined by a common determination rate, so the variable display by the variation pattern of super reach is not executed. It is possible to prevent the effect from decreasing.

  In the feature unit 179SG of the present embodiment, the determination rate of the variation pattern of super-reach α deviation and the determination rate of the variation pattern of super-reach β deviation are completely the same as the variation patterns for deviation between the set values. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination rate of the variation pattern of these super-reach α deviation and the determination rate of the variation pattern of super-reach β deviation are between the set values. May differ by a slight difference (for example, about 1%).

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination rate of the variation pattern of the super reach is the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination rate of all variation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach may be the same, or any variation of non-reach and normal reach Only the determination rate of the pattern may be the same.

  It should be noted that the variation time of the non-reach deviation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than the variation pattern of the non-reach deviation without reduction (PA1-1), and the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than the fluctuation pattern (PA1-2). The fluctuation pattern (PA1-3) of the outlier has a shorter fluctuation time (see FIG. 8-6). Therefore, when the number of pending storages increases, the non-reach variation pattern having a short variation time is determined, so that the pending storages are easily digested, and the number of pending storages reaches the upper limit of 4. When the number of reserved memories is reduced, it is less likely to generate useless starting prizes in which holding memory is not held, and when the number of holding memories decreases, non-reach fluctuation without shortening By determining the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display time is lengthened, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the variable display not being executed.

  Further, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 (A) to 8-11 (C), fluctuations are made using the fluctuation pattern determination table for deviation that differs depending on the total number of pending storages. Although the mode for deciding the pattern is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of pending storages in the special symbol to be changed (for example, when performing variable display of the first special symbol, the first The number of special symbols pending storage, when performing the variable display of the second special symbol) the variation pattern may be determined by using a different variation pattern determination table for deviation according to the number of pending storage numbers of the second special symbols).

  Further, although the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a form in which the reach effect is executed for each determined variation pattern and which reach effect is executed in a one-to-one correspondence. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not the effect control CPU 120 executes the reach effect based on the special figure change time of the change pattern, the variable display result, and the like, and which reach effect is executed. You may decide by lottery whether to do it.

  The RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 8-1 may be a backup RAM that is partially or wholly backed up by a backup power supply created on a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 102 are saved for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot supply power). It In particular, at least data according to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the special figure process flag) and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls may be stored in the backup RAM. The data according to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for recovering the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like. Further, data according to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game.

  Next, the display of the display monitor 179SG029 in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment will be described.

Each of the first display unit 179SG029A to the fifth display unit 179SG29E is composed of 7 segments which are formed by 7 segments which draw a character of "8" and dots which are arranged on the lower right side of the 7 segments. The first display portion 179SG029A to the fifth display portion 179SG29E can be turned on and blinked in various colors, for example, red, blue, green, yellow, white, and the like. It is also possible to display these colors in different colors or so-called rainbow while changing these colors in an extremely short cycle.

  The display control of the display monitor 179SG029 in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment is executed by using the non-test area in the entire area of the ROM 101 or the RAM 102 during the test of the pachinko gaming machine 1. .

  On the display monitor 179SG029, as shown in FIGS. 8-12 (B) and 8-12 (C), the base value calculated in the normal state (low-probability low-base state) for every out 6000 balls in the full gaming state. Base L that is (real-time value during measurement), base 1 that is a base value calculated in the normal state (low accurate low base state) for each first out 6000 balls in all game states, and in all game states Base 2 which is the base value calculated in the second out-of-6000 ball normal state (low-probability low base state), and the third out-of-6,000-ball normal state in every gaming state (low-probability low base state) It is possible to display the base value 3 which is the base value calculated in. The base L, the base 1, the base 2, and the base 3 are displayed on the display monitor 179SG029 in percentage.

  When actually displaying the base L on the display monitor 179SG029, “b” is displayed on the first display unit 179SG029A and “L.” is displayed on the second display unit 179SG029B in order to display “bL.” Which is an abbreviation for the base L. Is displayed, and the upper two digits (values of “00” to “99”) of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 179SG029C and the fourth display unit 179SG029D. When the base 1 is displayed on the display monitor 179SG029, “b” is displayed on the first display unit 179SG029A and “1.” is displayed on the second display unit 179SG029B in order to display “b1.” Which is an abbreviation of the base. Is displayed, and the upper two digits (value of “00” to “99”) of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 179SG029C and the fourth display unit 179SG029D. Further, when the base 2 is displayed on the display monitor 179SG029, “b” is displayed on the first display unit 179SG029A and “2.” is displayed on the second display unit 179SG029B in order to display the abbreviation “b2.” Of the base. Is displayed, and the upper two digits (value of “00” to “99”) of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 179SG029C and the fourth display unit 179SG029D. Further, when the base 3 is displayed on the display monitor 179SG029, "b" is displayed on the first display unit 179SG029A and "3." is displayed on the second display unit 179SG029B in order to display the abbreviation "b3." Of the base. Is displayed, and the upper two digits (value of “00” to “99”) of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 179SG029C and the fourth display unit 179SG029D.

  In the display monitor 179SG029 of the present embodiment, control for sequentially displaying the base L, the base 1, the base 2, and the base 3 is executed under the control of the main board 11 (CPU 103). For example, the main board 11 executes control for switching the display on the display monitor 179SG029 in the order of base L → base 1 → base 2 → base 3 at intervals of 5 seconds. The display of each base value on the display monitor 179SG029 is different in display color according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Specifically, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is “1”, each base value on the display monitor 179SG029 is displayed in white, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is When it is "2", each base value on the display monitor 179SG029 is displayed in blue, and when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "3", each base value on the display monitor 179SG029 is yellow. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is “4”, each base value on the display monitor 179SG029 is displayed in green, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is “ In the case of "5", each base value on the display monitor 179SG029 is displayed in red, and when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "6". Displays the base value in the display monitor 179SG029 at purple. Therefore, a clerk or the like in the game arcade can specify the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 only by checking the display color of the display monitor 179SG029, without the CPU 103 performing the set value changing process described later. ing.

  In the RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 8-2, as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation, for example effect control as shown in FIG. 8-13 (A). A data holding area 179SG190 is provided. 8-13 (A), the effect control data holding area 179SG190 includes an effect control flag setting unit 179SG191, an effect control timer setting unit 179SG192, an effect control counter setting unit 179SG193, and an effect control buffer setting unit 179SG194. I have it.

  The effect control flag setting unit 179SG191 has a plurality of types in which the state can be updated according to the effect operation state such as the effect image display state on the screen of the image display device 5 or the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11. Flag is provided. For example, the effect control flag setting unit 179SG191 stores, for each of the plurality of types of flags, data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the ON state or the OFF state.

  The effect control timer setting unit 179SG192 is provided with a plurality of types of timers used for controlling the progress of various effect operations such as the operation of displaying an effect image on the screen of the image display device 5, for example. For example, the effect control timer setting unit 179SG192 stores data indicating a timer value for each of a plurality of types of timers.

  The effect control counter setting unit 179SG193 is provided with a plurality of types of counters used for controlling the progress of various effect operations. For example, the effect control counter setting unit 179SG193 stores data indicating the count value of each of a plurality of types of counters.

  The effect control buffer setting unit 179SG194 is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used for controlling the progress of various effect operations. For example, the effect control buffer setting unit 179SG194 stores data indicating a buffer value in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, the data forming the start winning prize reception command buffer 179SG194A as shown in FIG. 8-13 (B) is stored in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting unit 179SG194. In the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A, in the storage area (buffer numbers “1-1” to “1-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (eg, “4”) of the total reserved storage number of the first special figure reserved storages. A corresponding area) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number "1-0") corresponding to the first special figure being displayed in a variable manner are provided. In addition, in the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A, a storage area (buffer numbers “2-1” to “2-4” corresponding to the maximum value (for example, “4”) of the total reserved storage number of the second special figure reserved storages. , And a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) corresponding to the second special figure being displayed in a variable manner. When there is a starting winning prize to the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening, a starting opening winning designation command (first starting opening winning designation command or second starting opening winning designation command), symbol designating command, variable category designation Four commands, that is, a command and a reserved storage number notification command (a first reserved storage number notification command or a second reserved storage number notification command) are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure reservation storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure reservation storage in the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A are these start mouth prize designating command, symbol designating command, variation category designating command, A storage area (entry) for separately storing the first special figure reserved storage and the second special figure reserved storage is ensured in association with the reserved storage number notification command.

  The storage contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest-order reserved storage (buffer number “1-1” or buffer number “2-1”) is started. As described above, the storage contents of the buffer number “1-0” or the buffer number “2-0” that stores the contents of the pending storage in which the start condition is satisfied are shifted to the upper position one by one, It is adapted to be cleared in the decorative pattern variation stop processing which is executed when terminating.

  Further, in the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, a flag value corresponding to the display pattern (display mode) of the reserved storage display in the prefetching notice setting process (FIG. 8-21) described later. A storage area for the reserved display flag in which is set is reserved for each storage area (entry).

  Incidentally, in the hold display flag, "0" corresponding to the display pattern of the normal hold storage display is stored when execution of the hold display notice effect is not decided in the prefetching notice setting process described later. In this way, when the reserved storage display in the normal display mode (for example, white circle) is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 179SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 179SG005U, and the execution of the reserved display notice effect is determined. Is a "1" (rectangle (◇)) or "2" (star (corresponding to a star (◇)) corresponding to the display pattern of the special storage mode (for example, a square (◇) or a star (☆)) different from the normal display mode. ☆)) or a special mode (for example, a blue or red camera), which is set to “3” (blue camera) or “4” (red camera), which corresponds to the display pattern of the hold memory display. The pending storage display of a mode different from the display mode is displayed in the first pending storage display area 179SG005D and the second pending storage display area 179SG005U, and in the variable display corresponding to the pending storage display, the possibility of a big hit or super It is announced that there is a high possibility that a reach will occur and that a setting suggestion effect that suggests a set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be executed.

  The effect control CPU 120 stores the command from the beginning (the entry with the smallest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure reservation storage of the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A at the time of the start winning at the first start winning opening. Then, at the time of the start winning at the second start winning opening, the command is stored from the beginning (the entry having the smallest buffer number) in the empty entries corresponding to the second special figure reserved storage of the start winning reception command buffer 179SG194A. Go At the time of starting winning, the commands from the starting opening winning award designation command to the reserved storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, the start mouth winning award designation command is stored in the storage areas corresponding to the tails "1" to "4" of the buffer numbers corresponding to the first special figure pending storage or the second special figure pending storage, respectively. , The symbol designation command, the variable category designation command, and the pending storage number notification command are stored in this order.

  The command stored in the start winning award received command buffer 179SG194A shown in FIG. 8-13 (B) is an entry (buffer) corresponding to the pending storage of the variable display which is finished immediately before the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. The entry stored in the number "1-0" or "2-0") is deleted, and the entry (buffer number "1-1" or "2" corresponding to the pending storage of the variable display to be started is deleted. -1 ”) and the stored contents of the entry after the pending storage of the variable display to be started are shifted. For example, in the storage state shown in FIG. 8-13 (B), when the variable display of the decorative pattern in the first special figure reservation storage is completed, each command stored in the buffer number “0” is deleted, and the buffer number Each command stored in "1" is shifted to the buffer number "0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "2" is moved to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1". The commands that are shifted and stored in the areas corresponding to the buffer numbers “3” and “4” are shifted to the areas corresponding to the buffer numbers “2” and “3”. Therefore, the buffer number “0” becomes an area (entry) for storing each command relating to pending storage which is variably displayed at that time.

  Next, the game control main processing in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment will be described. 8-14 is a flowchart showing the game control main processing executed by the CPU 103. In the game control main process, the CPU 103 first sets an interrupt prohibition (179SGSa001). Then, necessary initial setting is performed (179SGSa002). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, internal device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port, etc.) register settings, settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

  Next, the CPU 103 determines whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (107SGSa003) and whether the RAM 102 (backup RAM) is normal (107SGSa004). If the backup data is not stored (179SGSa003; N) or the RAM 102 is not normal (179SGSa004; N), the process proceeds to 179SGSa017, and if the backup data is stored and the RAM 102 is normal (179SGSa003; Y, 179SGSa004; Y) further determines whether the setting value stored in the RAM 102 is any of 1 to 6, that is, whether or not the setting value having a normal value is stored in the RAM 102 (179SGSaSa005).

  When the set value stored in the RAM 102 is not any of 1 to 6 (179SGSa005; N), the process proceeds to 179SGSa017, and when the set value stored in the RAM 102 is any of 1 to 6 (179SGSa005; N). Y) indicates whether or not the setting value changing flag indicating that the setting value changing process to be described later was being executed before the power failure (power failure occurred during execution of the setting value changing process). It is determined whether or not (179SGSa006). If the setting value changing flag is set (179SGSa006; Y), the process proceeds to 179SGSa017, and if the setting value changing flag is not set, the RAM clear flag indicating that the RAM clearing process described later has been executed. If it is set, the RAM clear flag is cleared (179SGSa007), and it is determined whether or not the clear switch is ON, that is, whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated while the clear switch is being operated. (179SGSa008).

  If the clear switch is ON (179SGSa008; Y), the RAM clear flag is set and the process proceeds to 179SGSa011 (179SGSa010). move on.

  In 179SGSa011, the CPU 103 determines whether the lock switch 179SG051 is ON (179SGSa011). When the lock switch 179SG051 is ON (179SGSa011; Y), it is further determined whether or not the open sensor 179SG090 is ON (179SGSa012). When the open sensor 179SG090 is ON, that is, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated with the lock switch 179SG051 ON and the gaming machine frame 179SG003 opened (179SGSa012; Y), the RAM clear flag is set. It is determined whether or not (179SGSa013a).

  When the RAM clear flag is set (179SGSa013a; Y), the set value changing process (179SGSa013b) for changing the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed, and the process proceeds to 179SGSa013d to proceed to the RAM clear flag. If is not set (179SGSa013a; N), a set value confirmation process (179SGSa013c) for confirming the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed, and the process proceeds to 179SGSa013d.

  In the setting value changing process (179SGSa013b), the CPU 103 first displays the setting value currently set on the display monitor 179SG029. Next, each time the setting changeover switch 179SG052 is operated, update display of the set value on the display monitor 179SG029 is performed. Then, based on the lock switch 179SG051 being turned off, the set value displayed on the display monitor 179SG029 is updated and stored in the RAM 102, and the set value that is newly updated and stored in the RAM 102 can be specified. The command is output to the effect control CPU 120.

  In the set value confirmation process (179SGSa013c), the CPU 103 displays the set value currently set on the display monitor 179SG029. Then, based on the lock switch 179SG051 being turned off, the display of the set value on the display monitor 179SG029 may be terminated.

  If the lock switch 179SG051 is OFF (179SGSa011; N) or the open sensor is OFF (179SGSa012; N) in 179SGSa011, the process proceeds to 179SGSa013d without executing the processes of 179SGSa013a to 179SGSa013c.

  In 179SGSa013d, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the RAM clear flag is set, that is, whether or not to clear the RAM 102 when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated this time (whether to execute the RAM clear processing (179SGSa009)) ( 179SGSa013d). When the RAM clear flag is set (179SGSa013d; Y), the RAM clear process (179SGSa013e) is executed and then the process proceeds to 179SGSa014, and when the RAM clear flag is not set (179SGSa013d; N), the RAM clear process (179SGSa013e). To 179SGSa014 without executing.

  In the RAM clear process (179SGSa013e), the CPU 103 executes a process of setting "00H" to all addresses except the address where the set value is stored and the address where the RAM clear flag is stored (set). . That is, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in 179SGSa001 to 179SGSa013e and 179SGSa017 to 179SGSa021, which will be described later, when there is no abnormality in the RAM 102, the address at which the set value is stored and the RAM clear flag are stored. The contents of all addresses are cleared except for the dresses.

  In 179SGSa014, the CPU 103 again determines whether or not the RAM clear flag is set (179SGSa014). When the RAM clear flag is set (179SGSa014; Y), the process proceeds to 179SGSa022, and when the RAM clear flag is not set (179SGSa014; N), the power supply to the internal state of the main board 11 is stopped (power cut). Recovery processing for returning to the state (179SGSa015) is performed.

  In the restoration process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents of the RAM 102 (contents of backed up data). As a result, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped, and if the special symbol is changing, the variation of the special symbol is restarted from the state before the restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. Will be. Then, the CPU 103 determines that the pachinko gaming machine 1 has recovered (started by hot start) in the state before the power failure, and transmits a command at the time of recovery including the hot start notification command to the effect control board 12, and proceeds to 179SGSa028. (179SGSa016).

  Further, in 179SGSa017, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the clear switch is ON, that is, whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated while the clear switch is being operated (179SGSa017). When the clear switch is ON (179SGSa017; Y), it is further determined whether the lock switch 179SG051 is ON (179SGSa018) or the open sensor 179SG090 is ON (179SGSa019).

  When the lock switch 179SG051 is ON (179SGSa018; Y) and the open sensor 179SG090 is ON, that is, there is no backup data in the RAM 102, the RAM 102 is not normal, or the normal setting value is not set. However, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started by a formal procedure by the operation of an employee of the game hall (the gaming machine frame 179SG003 is opened, and the lock switch 179SG051 is turned on, while operating the clear switch, the pachinko gaming machine is operated. When the machine 1 is started), the setting value stored in the RAM 102 is cleared (179SGSa020), and if the setting value changing flag is set, the setting value changing flag is cleared (179SGSa021). Then, the processing of 179SGSa009 to 179SGSa016 described above is executed.

  When the clear switch is OFF (179SGSa017; N), the lock switch 179SG051 is OFF (179SGSa018; N), and the open sensor 179SG090 is OFF (179SGSa019; N), the flow proceeds to 179SGSa031.

  In addition, in 2078SGSa022, the CPU 103 transmits a command at the time of restoration including a cold start notification command to the effect control board 12, assuming that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated by cold start (179SGSa022). Then, the cold start notification timer corresponding to the period for notifying the cold start of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set (179SGSa023), and the notification of the cold start is started by starting the blinking of all the segments composing the display monitor 179SG029. (179SGSa024).

  After the execution of 179SGSa024, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the cold start notification timer by -1 (179SGSa025), and determines whether or not the cold start notification timer has timed out (179SGSa026). If the cold start notification timer has not timed out (179SGSa026; N), the processes of 179SGSa025 and 179SGSaa026 are repeatedly executed, and if the cold start notification timer has timed out (179SGSa026; Y), all segments in the display monitor 179SG029. Ends blinking (179SGSa027) and proceeds to 179SGSa028.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, an example is shown in which all segments constituting the display monitor 179SG029 are blinked over the period of the cold start notification timer (for example, 5 seconds) at the time of calling and starting the pachinko gaming machine 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the time of calling and starting the pachinko gaming machine 1, only some of the segments constituting the display monitor 179SG029 may blink. Alternatively, at least a part of the segments forming the display monitor 179SG029 may be turned on.

  Then, in 179SGSa028, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process (179SGSa028) for initializing the random number circuit 104, and causes the game control microcomputer 100 to take a timer interrupt at regular intervals (for example, 2 ms). The built-in CTC register is set (179SGSa029), and interrupts are enabled (179SGSa030). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can regularly execute timer interrupt processing.

  Further, in the 179SGSa031, the CPU 103 tells the effect control board 12 that the abnormal set value is stored in the RAM 102 (set value error), or that the power is restored from the power interruption during the setting change described later. Then, an error designation command corresponding to the abnormal setting value is transmitted (179SGSa031). Further, the error notification execution waiting timer is set (179SGSa032). Then, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the error notification execution waiting timer by -1 (179SGSa033), and determines whether or not the error notification execution waiting timer has timed out (179SGSa034). If the error notification execution wait timer has not timed out (179SGSa034; N), the processing of 179SGSa033 and 179SGSaa034 is repeatedly executed, and if the error notification execution wait timer has timed out (179SGSa034; Y), a set value error error has occurred. As a notification (error notification) of occurrence of power failure or recovery from power interruption during setting change, first display unit 179SG029A, second display unit 179SG029B, third display unit 179SG029C, fourth display unit 179SG029D included in the display monitor 179SG029. "E." is displayed in each of the fields (179SGSa035).

  Further, the CPU 103 blinks all the LEDs that make up the first special symbol display device 179SG004A and the second special symbol display device 179SG004B (179SGSa036), and through a terminal board (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. A security signal is output to the management device such as the management computer in the field, and the process proceeds to 179SGSa032 (179SGSa037). After that, the CPU 103 repeatedly executes the processing of 179SGSa032 to 179SGSa037 until the pachinko gaming machine 1 is cut off (until the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off by the operation of the clerk of the game hall or the like), thereby the display monitor 179SG029. , The first special symbol display device 179SG004A, the second special symbol display device 179SG004B error occurrence notification is performed.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment displays the monitor 179SG029, the first monitor when the abnormal set value is set or when the power is cut off during the change of the set value. Since the special symbol display device 179SG004A and the second special symbol display device 179SG004B are executed to notify the occurrence of an error, the clerk at the amusement hall, etc., generates an error from both the front side and the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and sets the set value. It is possible to recognize that the power was cut off during the change. In addition, since the occurrence of an error in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the recovery from the power interruption during the change of the set value can be recognized by the gaming machine management device, the security of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be improved. Has become.

  In the game control main processing of the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-14, when it is determined that the clear switch is ON in 179SGSa008 (179SGSa008; Y) or in 179SGSa021 while the set value is being changed. Although the mode in which the RAM clear processing (179SGSa009) is executed after the flag is cleared is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and the RAM clear processing is performed. When it is determined that the RAM clear flag is set in 179SGSa014, not when the clear switch is determined to be ON in 179SGSa008 (179SGSa008; Y) or not after the setting value changing flag is cleared in 179SGSa021 (17 SGSa014; Y) to be executed.

  8-15 is a flowchart showing a start winning determination process (S101) executed by the CPU 103 in the special symbol process process shown in FIG. In the starting winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on a detection signal from the first starting port switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning port formed by the winning ball device 6A. Or not (179SGS101). At this time, if the first starting opening switch 22A is turned on (179SGS101; Y), the first special figure reservation storage number, which is the reservation storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether the upper limit storage number is “4”) (179SGS102). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the first special figure reservation storage number by reading the first reservation storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown). When the first special figure reservation storage number is not the upper limit value in 179SGS102 (179SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is set to "1" (179SGS103). ).

  When the first starting opening switch 22A is off in 179SGS101 (179SGS101; N) and the first special figure reservation storage number reaches the upper limit value in 179SGS102 (179SGS102; Y), the variable winning ball device 6B. It is determined whether or not the second starting port switch 22B is ON based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning port formed by (179SGS104). At this time, if the second starting opening switch 22B is turned on (179SGS104; Y), the second special figure reservation storage number, which is the reservation storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether the upper limit storage number is “4”) (179SGS105). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the second special figure reservation storage number by reading the second reservation storage number count value, which is the stored value of the second reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown). When the second special figure reservation storage number is not the upper limit value in 179SGS105 (179SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is set to "2" (179SGS106). ).

  After performing either of the processes of 179SGS103 and 179SGS106, the special figure reservation storage number corresponding to the starting mouth buffer value stored in the starting mouth buffer is updated by adding 1 (179SGS107). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", the first reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the second suspension storage count value is incremented by 1. Thus, the first reserved memory count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening and the first starting condition corresponding to the special drawing game using the first special drawing is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening and the second starting condition corresponding to the special drawing game using the second special drawing is established. Updated to increase. At this time, the total pending storage number is also updated so as to be incremented by 1 (179SGS108). For example, the total pending storage number count value, which is the stored value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit (not shown), may be updated so as to be incremented by one.

  After executing the processing of 179SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination or the big hit type determination from the numerical value data updated by the random number circuit 104 or the random counter of the game control counter setting unit (not shown). Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the change and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (179SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random value thus extracted is stored by being set as reservation information at the head of an empty entry in the special figure reservation storage unit corresponding to the starting port buffer value (179SGS110). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 are stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit (not shown), while when the starting opening buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 are stored in a second special figure reservation storage unit (not shown).

  Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type are used to determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is "big hit", and further the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of jackpot when "big hit". The random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination is used to determine a fluctuation pattern including a variable display time of a special symbol or a decorative symbol. By executing the processing of 179SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used in the determination of the variable display mode including the variable display result and the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol.

  Subsequent to the processing of 179SGS110, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning award designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (179SGS111). For example, when the starting mouth buffer value is “1”, the storage address of the first starting mouth winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. The setting for transmitting the first starting opening winning award designation command to 12 is performed. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, by storing the storage address of the second starting opening winning award designation command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, the effect control board 12 is notified. The setting for transmitting the second start opening winning award designation command is performed. The start opening winning award designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process processing is completed. To be done.

  Following the processing of 179SGS111, a winning random number determination processing is executed (179SGS112). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the reservation storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the reservation storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12. Settings are made (179SGS113). The reservation storage number notification command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process processing is completed. To be done.

  After the processing of 179SGS113 is executed, it is determined whether or not the starting opening buffer value is "1" (179SGS114). At this time, if the starting port buffer value is "1" (Y in 179SGS114), the starting port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (179SGS115), and the process proceeds to 179SGS104. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2" (N in 179SGS114), the starting opening buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (S116), and then the starting winning processing is performed. finish. As a result, even when both the first starting opening switch 22A and the second starting opening switch 22B simultaneously detect the starting winning of the effective game ball, the processing based on the detection of both effective starting winnings can be surely completed.

  FIG. 8-16 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed in the 179 SGS 112 of FIG. 8-15 as the random number value determination process during winning. In the characteristic portion 179SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started, the special symbol normal process (S110 of FIG. 5) is used to display the special symbol display result (variable symbol display result). Whether or not to control the big hit game state as "big hit", whether to control to the small hit game state as "small hit" is determined. In the variation pattern setting process (S111 in FIG. 5), determination of a variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is performed. On the other hand, in addition to these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the prize random number determination process of the 179SGS112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the start winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). Thus, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as the special symbol display result, and whether or not it is determined that the small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the special symbol display result, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol Determines whether or not a predetermined display mode with super reach is achieved. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the starting winning opening is started, that is, it is determined whether the big hit or the small hit is made at the start of the variable display. Before the special figure display result is "big hit" or "small hit", and which category the variable display mode of the decorative design is the variable display mode is determined, and based on this determination result Then, the effect control CPU 120 or the like executes the hold display notice effect as described later.

  In the winning random number determination process shown in FIG. 8-16 (A), the CPU 103 first checks the state of a time saving flag or a probability variation flag provided in, for example, a game control flag setting unit (not shown), etc. The current gaming state in the gaming machine 1 is specified (179SGS121). The CPU 103 specifies that the probability variation state is in the probability variation state when the probability variation flag is on, identifies that it is in the time reduction state when the probability variation flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are off. Sometimes it is necessary to specify that it is in a normal state.

  Following the processing of 179SGS121, the display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 is selected and set (179SGS122). At this time, the CPU 103 sets the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A) if the starting opening buffer value is 1, and FIG. 8-7 if the starting opening buffer value is 2. The display result determination table for the second special figure shown in (B) may be set.

  Then, referring to the numerical range of the big hit (judgment range of the big hit) according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the set display result judgment table, the special figure extracted by 179SGS109 of FIG. 8-15 It is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for display result determination is within the jackpot determination range (179SGS123). In the jackpot determination range, the individual determination values assigned to the special jackpot display result of "big hit" in the display result determination table selected by the process of 179SGS122 are set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and each determination value. It suffices to be able to determine the presence or absence of a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by making a comparison one by one. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment values included in the big hit judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or the maximum value of the big hit judgment range. It suffices to be able to determine whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the jackpot determination range by comparison. At this time, by determining that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the pending data including the random number value MR1 is determined as the “jackpot”.

  If it is determined by 179SGS123 that it is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, if it is determined that the jackpot does not occur during variable display (179SGS123; N), it is set for the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the set display result determination table. Refer to the numerical range for small hits (judgment range for small hits) corresponding to the set value, and the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment extracted by 179SGS109 in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is within the small hit determination range (179SGS124). In the small hit judgment range, individual judgment values assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit" in the display result judgment table selected by the process of 179SGS122 are set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and each judgment value. It suffices to be able to determine the presence / absence of a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by making a step-by-step comparison between and. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment values included in the small hit judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number MR1 and the minimum value or the maximum value of the small hit judgment range. It suffices to be able to determine whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the small hit determination range by comparing with. At this time, by determining that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the small hit determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the pending data including the random number value MR1 is determined as “small hit”.

  When it is determined by 179SGS124 that it is not within the small hit determination range, that is, when it is determined that the small hit does not occur at the time of variable display (179SGS124; N), the variable display result is “out”. The transmission setting of the symbol designating command is executed (179SGS125), and it is determined whether the time saving flag is set, that is, whether the current gaming state is the time saving state (179SGS126). When the time saving flag is not set (179SGS126; N), the deviation variation pattern determination table A is selected and set (179SGS127), and when the time saving flag is set (179SGS126; Y), the deviation variation pattern is set. The determination table D is selected and set (179SGS128).

  It should be noted that the deviation pattern determination table A for deviation is a fluctuation pattern determination table for deviation used when the number of reserved memories is one or less as shown in FIG. 8-11 (A). In addition, the variation pattern determination table D for deviation is a variation pattern determination table for deviation used when the game state is the high base state in which the time saving control is executed, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (D). is there.

  In addition, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, in addition to the deviation variation pattern determination table A and the deviation variation pattern determination table D, the deviation used when the total number of pending storage is 2 to 4 Variation pattern determination table B for use and a variation pattern determination table C for use when the total number of reserved memories is 5 to 8 are prepared in advance. However, as shown in FIG. In the variation pattern determination tables A for out-of-range among the use variation pattern determination tables A to C, values 0 to 450 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern in the range that the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take. In the variation pattern determination tables B and C for deviation, the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination is set for the non-reach variation pattern. Value greater than 0 to 450 of the range is assigned that. On the other hand, in the out-of-range variation pattern determination tables A to C, values 701 to 997 are assigned to the variation patterns of super reach in the range that the random number MR3 for variation pattern can take.

  Therefore, in 179 SGS 137, which will be described later, the variation pattern (variation category) is determined by using the variation pattern determination table A for deviation, so that the determination of non-reach and super-reach does not fail even if the number of pending storage changes after the determination. Since the variation pattern is non-reach or super-reach, the determination pattern at the time of the start winning is determined by using the variation pattern determination table A for out-of-range.

  As shown in FIG. 8-16 (A), when the 179SGS123 determines that the jackpot is within the jackpot determination range, that is, when the jackpot is determined to be the jackpot during variable display (179SGS123; Y), the jackpot type determination is made. The jackpot type is determined based on the random number value MR2 for use (179SGS130). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special map (“first special map” corresponding to “1” or “second special map” corresponding to “2”) specified in correspondence with the starting opening buffer value. , Big hit type determination table data is selected from the table data forming the big hit type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

  In addition, the transmission setting of the symbol designating command according to the jackpot type determined in 179SGS130 is executed (179SG131), whether the time saving flag is set, and whether or not the reserved memory is the reserved memory of the second special symbol. Is determined (179SGS132, 179SGS133). Whether or not the reserved storage is the reserved storage of the second special figure may be determined by the starting opening buffer value set in the processing of 179SGS103 or 179SGS106. When the time saving flag is set and the holding storage is the holding storage of the second special figure (179SGS132; Y and 179SGS133; Y), the variable display of the holding storage is further changed within the 50th high-base state. It is determined whether or not it is displayed (179SGS134). Whether or not the high base state is variably displayed within the 50th time is determined by the value of the time saving state variable display number counter, which will be described later, and the number of the pending storage in the second special figure pending storage unit. It may be determined by whether or not.

  For example, if the pending storage is the first pending storage in the second special figure pending storage unit, whether or not the value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the hour / hour count state variable display count counter is "50" or less. If the hold storage is the second hold storage in the second special figure hold storage unit, is the value obtained by adding 2 to the value of the hour / hour count variable display count counter less than or equal to “50”? If it is determined that the pending storage is the third pending storage in the second special figure pending storage unit, the value obtained by adding 3 to the value of the time saving count variable display count counter is “50” or less. If it is determined that the pending storage is the fourth pending storage in the second special figure pending storage unit, the value obtained by adding 4 to the value of the hour / hour count variable display count counter is “50”. It may be determined whether or not the following.

  When the variable display of the pending storage is the variable display within the 50th time in the high base state (179SGS134; Y), the large hit variation pattern determination table B is selected and set as the table for determining the big hit variation pattern. (179SG135).

  In addition, when the time saving flag is not set (179SGS132; N), etc., when the pending storage is the pending storage of the second special figure (179SGS133; N), the variable display of the pending storage is the 51st time in the high base state. In the case of subsequent variable display (179SGS134; N), the big hit variation pattern determination table A is selected and set as a table for determining the big hit variation pattern (179SGS136).

  In addition, when it is determined in 179SGS124 that it is within the small hit determination range, that is, when it is determined that the small hit occurs during variable display (179SGS124; Y), a symbol designating command corresponding to the small hit type is transmitted. The setting is executed (179SGS129a), and the small hit variation pattern determination table is selected and set as a table for determining the small hit variation pattern (179SGS129b).

  After performing any one of the processing of 179SGS127, 179SGS128, 179SGS129b, 179SGS135, 179SGS136, the random number value MR3 is included using the set variation pattern determination table and the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination. The variation category corresponding to the range of the determined determination value is determined (179SGS137). In the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (B), at least when the variable display result is “out”, the common “non-reach” regardless of the total reserved storage number. The variable category that is a variable display mode, the variable category that is a variable display mode of “Super Reach”, and the “other” that is a variable display mode other than “non-reach” and “Super Reach” (for example, normal reach or small hit) It suffices to provide a variation category and determine whether or not such variation category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

  After that, after setting for transmitting the variation category designation command according to the determination result by the processing of 179SGS137 to the effect control board 12 (179SGS138), the winning random number determination processing is ended.

  8-17 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in S111 of FIG. 5 as the variation pattern setting processing. In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 8-17, the CPU 103 first sets the time saving state variable display number counter indicating the number of special figure games (variable display) after being controlled to the high base state (time saving state). It is determined whether there is any (179SGS141). The setting of the time saving state variable display number counter means that any value including 0 is set in the time saving state variable display number counter. When the time saving state variable display number counter is set (179SGS141; Y), the value of the time saving state variable display number counter is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to 179SGS143 (179SGS142). If the time saving state variable display number counter is not set (179SGS141; N), the process of 179SGS142 is not executed and the process proceeds to 179SGS143.

  In 179SGS143, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is set. If the big hit flag is set (179SGS143; Y), it is determined whether or not the big hit type is big hit B (179SGS144). When the jackpot type is the jackpot B (179SGS144; Y), it is further controlled whether or not the value of the time saving state variable display number counter is 1 to 50, that is, the variable display to be executed is controlled to the high base state. It is determined whether or not the variable display is the 1st to 50th variable display (179SGS145). When the value of the time saving state variable display number counter is any of 1 to 50 (179SGS145; Y), the big hit variation pattern determination table B is selected and set as the use table for determining the big hit variation pattern. (179SGS146) and proceed to 179SGS155.

  When the type of big hit is big hit A (179SGS144) or when the value of the time saving state variable display count counter is 51 or more (179SGS145; N), the big hit variation is used as a table for determining the big hit variation pattern. The pattern determination table A is selected and set (179SGS147), and the process proceeds to 179SGS155.

  When the jackpot flag is not set in 179SGS143 (179SGS143; N), it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set, thereby determining whether or not the time saving control is being performed (179SGS148). Then, if the time saving flag is set (179SGS148; Y), the variation pattern determination table D for out-of-range is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of variation patterns, and the process proceeds to 179SGS155. (179SGS149).

  On the other hand, when the time saving flag is not set (179SGS148; N), the total reserved storage number is specified, and it is determined whether the specified total reserved storage number is 2 or more (179SGS150).

  If the specified total number of pending storages is 1 or less (179SGS150; N), the variation pattern determination table A for out-of-range is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of variation patterns. 179 SGS 155 (179 SGS 151).

  If the specified total pending storage number is 2 or more (179SGS150; Y), it is further determined whether the total pending storage number is 5 or more (159SGS152).

  When the total number of pending storages is not 5 or more (179SGS152; N), the variation pattern determination table B for outlier is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of variation patterns, and 179SGS155 is set. Proceed (179SGS153).

  When the total number of reserved memories is 5 or more (179SGS152; Y), the variation pattern determination table C for out-of-range is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of variation patterns. 179 SGS 155 (179 SGS 154).

  Then, in 179 SGS 155, the CPU 103 selects the big hit variation pattern determination table or the out-of-range variation pattern determination table based on, for example, numerical data indicating the variation pattern random number MR3 stored in the variation random number buffer or the like. By referring to, the variation pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types.

  When the big hit flag is off, the variation pattern is determined in the process of 179SGS155 to determine whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "reach". That is, the process of 179SGS155 includes a process of determining whether or not the variable display state of the decorative pattern is set to the reach state when the variable display result is “out”.

  After determining the variation pattern in 179SGS155, the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B according to the variable display special figure designation buffer value. The setting for starting the variable display of the special symbol is performed so as to start any of the special symbol games using the second special symbol (179SGS156). As an example, if the variable display special figure designation buffer value is “1”, the setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure on the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variable display special figure designation buffer value is “2”, the setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure on the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

  Following the processing of 179SGS156, settings for transmitting various commands for starting variable display of special symbols are performed (179SGS157). For example, when the variable display special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 to specify a game state designation command, a first variation start command, a variation pattern designation command, and a variable display. In order to sequentially transmit the result designation command, the first reserved storage number notification command, etc., the transmission command buffer stores the setting data indicating the storage address (start address) in the ROM 101 of the first variable display start command table prepared in advance. The data is stored in the buffer area designated by the send command pointer in. On the other hand, when the variable display special map designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 to enter a game state designation command, a second variable display start command, a variation pattern designation command, and a variable pattern. In order to sequentially transmit the display result designation command and the second reserved storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is stored in the buffer designated by the transmission command pointer. Store in area.

  After the processing of 179SGS157 is executed, the special figure fluctuation time which is the variable display time of the special symbol according to the decision result of the fluctuation pattern is set (179SGS158). The special symbol variable time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is required from the start of the variable symbol display of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the fixed special symbol that is the variable display result (special symbol display result) is derived and displayed. It's time. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (179SGS159), and the variation pattern setting process is ended.

  Based on the command transmission setting in 179SGS157, every time the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. 4 is executed after the variation pattern setting processing is finished, the main board 11 issues a game state designation command to the effect control board 12. The first variable display start command or the second variable display start command, the variation pattern designation command, the variable display result designation command, the first reserved storage number notification command or the second reserved storage number notification command is transmitted in sequence. Become. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed. For example, after the variable display result designation command is transmitted first, the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command, the variation pattern You may make it transmit in order of a designation | designated command, a game state designation | designated command, a 1st storage memory number notification command, or a 2nd storage memory number notification command.

  As described above, in the feature unit 179SG, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, the change pattern is always selected by selecting the big hit change pattern determination table B. When the variable display result is a big hit B in the 51st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the change pattern is always selected by selecting the big hit change pattern determination table A. Determine the variation pattern of super reach γ.

  Further, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, by selecting the big hit change pattern determination table B, the change pattern is always determined as the change pattern of the super reach γ. However, when the variable display result is the big hit A in the variable display after the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, by selecting the big hit change pattern determination table A, the change pattern is always changed to the change pattern of the super reach γ. decide.

  8-18 is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed in S113 of FIG. 5 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 sets the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation process of S112 to end the variable display of the special symbols, and the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. Control to derive and display the stop symbol is performed (179SGS181). If the variable display special figure designation buffer value is "1" indicating the first special figure, the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display device 4A is terminated, and the variable display special figure is designated. When the buffer value is "2" indicating the second special symbol, the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B is ended. In addition, control for transmitting a symbol confirmation command to the effect control board 12 is performed (179SGS182). Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set (179SGS183), and when the big hit flag is not set (179SGS183; N), the process proceeds to 179SGS191.

  On the other hand, when the big hit flag is set (179SGS183; Y), the CPU 103 clears the certainty change flag and the time saving flag if the certainty change flag and the time saving flag are set (179SGS184). If the time saving state variable display number counter is set, the time saving state variable display number counter is also cleared (179SGS185). Then, the effect control board 12 is set to transmit a big hit start designation command according to the stored big hit type (179SGS186).

  Further, the CPU 103 makes settings for transmitting a game state designation command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (179SGS187).

  Then, the jackpot display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (a time at which the image display device 5 notifies that the jackpot has occurred) (179SGS188). In addition, the number of times of opening (for example, 7 times for big hit A and 16 times for big hit B) is set in the special winning opening opening counter (179SGS189). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" which is the value corresponding to the big hit opening preprocessing (S114) (179SGS190).

  On the other hand, in S191, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the time saving counter is “0”. When the value of the hour / hour counter is “0” (179SGS191; Y), the process proceeds to 179SGS194.

  On the other hand, when the value of the hour / hour counter is not "0" (179SGS191; N), that is, in the high base state where the hour / hour count remains, the value of the hour / hour counter is decremented by -1 (179SGS192). . Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the hour / hour counter after subtraction is “0” (179SGS193), and if it is not “0” (179SGS193; N), the process proceeds to 179SGS195 and the value of the hour / hour counter is “0”. (179SGS193; Y), the time saving flag is cleared to end the time saving control (179SGSS194), and the process proceeds to 179SGS195.

  In 179SGS195, the CPU 103 determines whether the value of the probability variation counter is "0". When the value of the probability variation counter is "0" (179SGS195; N), the process proceeds to 179SGS199.

  Then, in 179SG199, the CPU 103 sets the gaming state corresponding to the set state of the probability variation flag and the time saving flag (when both the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are set, only the highly accurate high base state and the probability variation flag are set). In this case, the transmission setting of the gaming state designation command corresponding to the high-probability low base state and the low-probability low base state when both the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are not set is performed. Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process, the special symbol stop process is ended (179SGS200).

  8-19 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 5 as the big hit ending process.

  In the jackpot end process, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is operating, that is, the timer is counting (179SGS201). When the jackpot end display timer is not operating (179SGS201; N), it is determined whether or not the jackpot type of the jackpot game that has ended is jackpot B (179SGS202). When the jackpot type of the jackpot game that has ended is a jackpot A (170SGS202:; N), the jackpot end display timer, the time to perform the ending effect described below as a jackpot end display on the image display device 5 (jackpot end display time). A value corresponding to the corresponding first display time is set (179SGSS203), and the process ends. When the jackpot type of the jackpot game that has ended is a jackpot B (170SGS202: Y), the jackpot end display timer causes the jackpot end display on the image display device 5 as a jackpot end display time (jackpot end display time). ) Is set (179SGSS204), and the process ends. The second display time is longer than the first display time described above. In other words, in the feature unit 179SG, after the big hit game of the big hit B is finished, the ending effect described later is set to be executed for a longer period of time after the big hit game of the big hit A is finished. The first display period in the characteristic unit 179SG is, for example, 20 seconds, and the second display period is, for example, 45 seconds.

  On the other hand, when the big hit end display timer is operating (179SGS201; Y), the value of the big hit end display timer is decremented by 1 (179SGS205). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the big hit end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big hit end display time has elapsed (179SGS206). If not, the process ends.

  If the jackpot end display time has passed (179SGS206; Y), the CPU 103 sets both the time saving flag and the probability variation flag (179SGS207, 179SGS208), and the special variation game number controlled by the probability variation count counter to the probability variation state. "Variable display count" "150" is set (179SGS209). Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot type of the ended jackpot game is the jackpot B (179SGS210). When the big hit type of the big hit game that has ended is big hit A (179SGS210; N), "100" which is the special drawing game number (variable display number) controlled to the hour saving state is set to the hour saving number counter, and 179SGS213 is set. When the jackpot type of the jackpot game that has been advanced (179SGS211) and finished is jackpot B (179SGS210; Y), "150" which is the special drawing game number (variable display number) controlled to the hour saving state by the hour saving counter is set. Set and proceed to 179SGS213 (179SGS212).

  In 179SGS213, CPU103 sets "0" to the time saving state variable display execution frequency counter. Then, the jackpot flag is cleared (179SGS214), and the jackpot end designation command transmission setting according to the jackpot type is set (179SGS215). Then, after performing the transmission setting of the game state designation command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the set probability change flag and time saving flag (179SGS216), the value of the special figure process flag is special symbol normal processing. Is updated to a value corresponding to “0” and the jackpot ending process is ended (179SGS217).

  FIG. 8-20 is a part of a flowchart of the effect control process process (S76) in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment. In the effect control process process in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, after the prefetching advance notice setting process (S161) shown in FIG. 7 is executed, it is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 179SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 179SG005U. 8-13 (B), the display mode and the number of display of the held storage display are updated according to the received command buffer 179SG194A at the time of starting winning a prize (179SGS162), and then S170 to S177 shown in FIG. 7 are executed. It is designed to execute one of the processes.

  8-21 is a flowchart showing the pre-reading notice setting process (S161) executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 8-20. In the prefetch advance notice setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the contents of the start prize winning command buffer 179SG194A shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not (179SGS242). If there is no entry for which the hold display flag is not set, the prefetch notice setting process is terminated, and if there is an entry for which the hold display flag is not set, the value of the hold display flag is already set to one of 1 to 4. It is determined whether there is an entry that has been set (179SGS243).

  If there is an entry in which the value of the hold display flag is already set to any one of 1 to 4, that is, if the hold display notice effect has already been executed, the entry (179SGS242 sets the hold display flag). Set "0" corresponding to the non-execution of the pending display notice effect to the pending display flag of the entry that is determined not to exist (that is, to determine that the pending storage display corresponding to the entry is displayed as "○"). Then, the pre-reading notice setting process ends (179SGS251). As will be described later, the case where there is an entry in which the value of the hold display flag is already set to one of 1 to 4 is the case where the hold display notice effect has already been executed. That is, in the process of 179SGS243, when a pending display notice effect has already been executed, execution of a new pending display notice effect is restricted.

  In the effect control CPU 120, in 179SGS243, if there is no entry that is set to any of the values 1 to 4 of the hold display flag, the entry that is determined that the hold display flag is not set in 179SGS242. It is determined whether or not the symbol designating command in () indicates a big hit (179SGS244). When the symbol designation command of the entry indicates a big hit, the jackpot type is specified from the symbol designation command of the entry (179SGS245), and extracted from, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 179SG193. Based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for the hold display notice effect and the jackpot type specified in 179 SGS 245, by referring to a big hit hold display notice effect determination table (not shown) and whether or not the hold display notice effect is executed and the hold display The display pattern in the case of executing the notice effect is determined (179SGS246).

  In the 179SG246, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pending display notice effect and the display pattern (preliminary notice type) are determined at a determination rate as shown in FIG. 8-22 (A). In the setting example of the determination rate shown in FIG. 8-22 (A), the presence or absence of the pending display notice effect and the determination rate of the display pattern (previous notice type) are varied according to the jackpot type identified in the process of 179SGS245.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, four types of display patterns α, display patterns β, display patterns γ, and display patterns δ are provided as display patterns (notification types) of the pending display notice effect. Of these, when the display pattern of the hold display notice effect is determined to be the display pattern α, the hold storage display is displayed as a white square (◇) in the first hold storage display area 179SG005D or the second hold storage display area 179SG005U. When the display pattern of the pending display notice effect is determined to be the display pattern β, the pending storage display is a white star (☆) and is displayed in the first pending storage display area 179SG005D or the second pending storage display area 179SG005U. When the display pattern of the hold display notice effect is determined to be the display pattern γ, the hold storage display is displayed on the first hold storage display area 179SG005D or the second hold storage display area 179SG005U with the blue camera, and the hold display is displayed. When the display pattern of the notice effect is determined to be the display pattern δ Hold storage display is displayed on the first hold storage display area 179SG005D or second hold storage display area 179SG005U red camera. In addition, when the non-execution of the hold display notice effect is determined, the hold storage display is displayed in a white circle (◯) in the first hold storage display area 179SG005D or the second hold storage display area 179SG005U.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (A), when the big hit type is a big hit A (non-probable variation big hit), non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 5%, and a rate of 55%. Execution of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern α is determined, execution of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern β is determined with a ratio of 20%, and 10% of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern γ is determined. Is determined, and the execution of the pending display notice effect with the display pattern δ is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, when the type of big hit is big hit B or big hit C (probability variation big hit), non-execution of the hold display notice effect is determined at a rate of 5%, and the hold display notice effect of the display pattern α is set at a rate of 20%. Execution is determined, 55% of the executions of the pending display notice effects with the display pattern β are determined, 10% of the executions of the pending display notice effects of the display pattern γ are determined, and the percentages of 10% Execution of the pending display notice effect with the display pattern δ is determined.

  Returning to 179SGS244, the CPU 120 for effect control specifies the variation category from the variation category designation command of the entry (179SGS248) when the symbol designating command of the entry is a miss or a small hit, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the rendering control. Based on numerical data indicating a random number value for reserved display notice production extracted from a random counter or the like of the counter setting unit 179SG193 and the big hit type specified in 179SGS249, a small hit / outside reserved display notice effect determination table (not shown) is referred to. As a result, the presence or absence of execution of the pending display notice effect and the display pattern are determined.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (B), when the variable display result is out of order and the variation category is non-reach, non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%, Execution of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern α is determined at a rate of 5%, execution of the hold display notice effect at the display pattern β is determined at a rate of 0%, and is performed at the display pattern γ at a rate of 0%. Execution of the hold display notice effect is determined, and execution of the hold display notice effect in the display pattern δ is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out or small hit and the variation category is other (normal reach out or small hit), non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 75%, and 20%. Execution of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern α is determined by a ratio, execution of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern β is determined by a rate of 5%, and hold display notice of the display pattern γ is performed by a rate of 0%. Execution of the effect is determined, and execution of the pending display notice effect with the display pattern δ is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation category is super reach, non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 55%, and the pending display notice effect of the display pattern α is determined at a rate of 25%. Execution is determined, execution of the hold display notice effect with the display pattern β is determined at a rate of 10%, execution of the hold display notice effect at the display pattern γ is determined at a rate of 5%, and is performed at a rate of 5%. Execution of the pending display notice effect with the display pattern δ is determined.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 8-22 (A) and 8-22 (B), in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, when the hold display notice effect is executed, when the hold display notice effect is not executed. It is designed to be controlled to the jackpot gaming state at a higher rate than that, and when the hold display notice effect is executed in the display pattern β, than when the hold display notice effect is executed in the display pattern α. Is set so that the jackpot type is jackpot B or jackpot C (probably variable jackpot) at a high rate. With such a setting, when the variable display result is “big hit” and the display pattern β is displayed as the display pattern (preliminary type), the big hit type is displayed more than when the display pattern α is displayed. The probability of being a probability variation big hit increases, and the player's expectation of becoming a probability variation jackpot can be increased.

  Since the display pattern γ and the display pattern δ are display patterns that suggest the execution of setting suggestive effects, which will be described later, the degree of expectation for being controlled to the jackpot gaming state rather than the display pattern α and the display pattern β (the jackpot expectation degree) Is not set to be high, and the expectation for the jackpot type being the jackpot B or the jackpot C (probability variation jackpot expectation) is the same.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, the variation patterns that can be determined when the variable display result is a big hit are the variation patterns of normal reach and super reach, and as shown in FIG. The case where the display pattern δ is determined is the case where the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is out and the variation category is super reach. That is, it is also suggested that the pending storage display of the display pattern γ and the display pattern δ (a mode of a blue or red camera) is a variable display of the super reach capable of executing the setting suggestive effect described later. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (B), when the variation category is non-reach or other (normal reach or small hit), that is, when the special figure variation time is determined to be shorter than the super reach. Does not display the pending storage display in the form of a blue or red camera.

  Returning to FIG. 8-21, after performing the processing of 179 SGS 246 or 179 SGS 249, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the pending display notice effect has been determined (179 SGS 250). When the execution of the hold display notice effect is determined, the value (one of 1 to 4) corresponding to the display pattern determined by the processing of 179SGS246 or 179SGS249 is set in the hold display flag of the entry and preread. The notice setting process is terminated (179SGS247). In addition, when it is determined not to execute the hold display notice effect, "0" corresponding to the non-execution of the hold display notice effect is set in the hold display flag of the entry, and the prefetch notice setting process ends ( 179SGS251).

  8-23 and 8-24 are flowcharts showing the variable display start setting process (S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first fluctuation start command reception flag is set (179SGS271). When the first fluctuation start command reception flag is set (179SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure reserved storage in the start winning prize reception command buffer (not shown) are set. Various command data and various flags stored in association with each other (that is, various command data and various flags corresponding to the first special symbol that is being variably displayed, the first to fourth first special figure reserved storage Corresponding various command data and various flags) are shifted upward by one buffer number (179SGS272). Note that the contents of the buffer number "1-0" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so they are erased.

  Specifically, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-1” of the first special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-0”. Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-2” of the first special figure reservation storage are shifted to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-1”. 1 special figure shifts so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-3" of reserved storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-2", and the first special figure Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-4” of the reserved storage are shifted so as to be associated with the buffer number “1-3” and stored.

  When the first fluctuation start command reception flag is not set in 179SGS271 (179SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (179SGS273). If the second fluctuation start command reception flag is not set (179SGS273; N), the variable display start setting processing is ended, and if the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (179SGS273; Y), Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” of the second special figure reservation storage in the received command buffer for starting winning a prize (that is, variably displayed) Various command data and various flags corresponding to the second special symbol, various command data and various flags corresponding to the 1st to 4th second special symbol reservation storage) are shifted upward by one buffer number. (179SGS274). The contents of the buffer number “2-0” cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so the contents are erased.

  Specifically, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-1” of the second special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-0”. Then, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-2” of the second special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be associated with the buffer number “2-1” and stored, and 2 Various special command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-3” of the special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-2”. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-4” of the reserved storage are shifted so as to be associated with the buffer number “2-3” and stored.

  After executing 179SGS272 or 179SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (179SGS275).

  Next, the display result of the decorative design (stop design) is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (179SGS276). In this case, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the stop design of the decorative design according to the display result designated by the display result designating command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop design of the decorative design in the decorative design display result storage area. To do.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG, when the received variable display result designating command is the second variable display result designating command corresponding to the big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, has three symbols as a stop symbol in an even symbol. Determine the combination of decorative patterns (big hit pattern). In the case where the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit B, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", " 333 ”,“ 555 ”,“ 999 ”and other decorative pattern combinations). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit C, the combination of the decorative designs (big hit design) in which the three designs are “7” as the stop design is determined. To do. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the small hit, as a stop symbol, there is a chance to indicate that the small hit (three symbols are under a specific rule). "334", "556", "778", etc., which are not aligned with each other. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the outlier, it is a decorative design in which three designs are non-uniform as a stop design, and the combination other than the above-mentioned chance Determine (outlier pattern).

  In the determination of these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining the stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop design of the decorative design may be determined. That is, the stop design may be determined by selecting the data indicating the combination of the decorative designs corresponding to the numerical values that match the extracted random numbers.

  And CPU120 for production control judges whether a game state is a low base state (low-probability low base state or high-probability low base state) (179SGS276a). When the gaming state is the low base state (179SGS276a; Y), it is determined whether or not the variable pattern of the variable display is the super-reach variable pattern (179SGS277). When the variation pattern of the variable display is not the variation pattern of the super reach, the processing proceeds to 179SGS285, and when the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach, the rear variable display suggestion effect during the reach production of the variable display. The rear variable display during suggestion effect determination processing for determining whether or not to execute and the effect to be executed as the rear variable display during suggestion effect is executed (179SGS278). That is, in the characteristic portion 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in 179SGS277 to 179SG278, the rear part variable display suggestion effect (big hit suggestion effect or setting suggestion effect) is variable in the variation pattern of the super reach with a long special figure change time. It can be executed only in the display, and is not executed in the variable display of the normal reach or the non-reach change pattern where the special figure change time is short.

  In the variable display of the super reach in the low base state in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-32, the variable display is performed as the suggestion effect during the front variable display from the start timing of the variable display. A result is a big hit. A character effect suggested by the character displayed on the image display device 5 or a timer effect that suggests that the variable display result is a big hit and also indicates a period until the start of execution of the rear variable display suggesting effect. A big hit suggestion effect or a setting that is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 that is executable and suggests that the variable display result is a big hit as a rear variable display suggestion effect during the reach effect that is the latter half of the variable display. It is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a value. That is, the process of 179SGS278 is a process of deciding whether to execute the rear variable display suggestive effect and which of the big hit suggestive effect and the setting suggestive effect should be executed during the reach effect as the rear variable variable suggestive effect. ..

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect (either the big hit suggestive effect or the setting suggestive effect) has been decided in the processing of 179SGS278 (179SGS279). When it is determined in the processing of 179SGS278 that the rear variable display in-progress production is not executed, the process proceeds to 179SGS285, and when the rear variable display in-progress production is determined to be executed in the processing of 179SGS278, the start of the variable display is further changed to the front portion. A front variable in-display suggestive effect determination process for determining which of a character effect and a timer effect is to be executed as the in-variable-display instructive effect is executed (179SGS280). That is, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, unless the execution of the rear variable display effect is determined, the execution of the front variable display suggestion effect is not determined, that is, the setting suggestion effect cannot be executed. In the variable display of reach and normal reach, the timer effect and the character effect are not executed as the suggestion effect during front variable display.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the character effect has been decided as the front variable display in-progress suggestion effect (179SGS281). When the execution of the character effect is decided as the front variable display suggestive effect, a period until the rear variable display instructive effect start waiting timer is started (as shown in FIG. 8-32 (A)). Set a value according to 5 seconds after the start of the reach effect), proceed to 179SG285 (179SGS282), and if the execution of the timer effect is decided as the suggestion effect during front variable display, wait for the start of the suggestion effect during rear variable display. The period until the suggestion start of the rear variable display on the timer (as shown in FIG. 8-32 (B), a value corresponding to the effect pattern of the timer effect (specifically, the effect pattern of the timer effect is 25 seconds of effect) In the case of the pattern TS-1 which is the period, 5 seconds after the start of the reach effect, when the effect pattern of the timer effect is the pattern TS-2 which is the effect period of 30 seconds, Over switch production of 10 seconds after the start)) to set the advance to 179SGS285 (179SGS283).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 selects the effect control pattern (process table) according to the variation pattern in 179SGS285. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (179SGS286).

  In the process table, display control execution data for controlling display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and control of sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The sound control execution data, the operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in time series in association with each process data n (1 to N). There is.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays an effect device (image display as effect parts) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The control of the device 5, various lamps as parts for production, speakers 8L and 8R as parts for production, operation section (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (179SGS287). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the image display device 5. Further, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform lighting / extinguishing control of various lamps. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG, the effect control CPU 120 performs control so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the change pattern corresponding to the change pattern designation command in a one-to-one manner. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of kinds of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the designated command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variation pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (179SGS288). In addition, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (179SGS289). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left-middle-right decorative design to the VRAM every time the predetermined time has passed, and the display control unit 123 is written to the VRAM. The signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays the image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the effect display during variable display (S172), and the variable display start setting processing ends (179SGS290).

  When it is determined in the processing of 179SGS276a that the game state is the high base state (high-probability high base state) (179SGS276a; N), the effect control CPU 120 further determines whether the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach γ. It is determined whether or not (179SGS291). When the variation pattern is a variation pattern other than super reach γ (179SGS291; N), the high base medium variable display suggestion effect is executed or not, and the high base medium variable display suggestion effect effect pattern is determined. After executing the variable display suggestion effect determination process (179SGS292), the processes of 179SGS285 to 179SGS290 are executed and the variable display start setting process is ended.

  When the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach γ (179SGS291; Y), the special reach production pattern determination process (179SGS293) for determining the production pattern of the all-reach production as the special reach production executed after the reach is performed. After executing the process, after selecting a process table corresponding to the special reach effect pattern determined in the special reach effect pattern determination process (179SGS294), the processes of 179SGS286 to 179SGS290 are executed to end the variable display start setting process. .

  FIG. 8-25 is a flowchart showing a rear variable display in-progress suggestion effect determination process (179SGS278) in the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 8-23. In the rear variable display inferred effect determination processing shown in FIG. 8-25, the effect control CPU 120 refers to the start winning time reception command buffer 179SG194A shown in FIG. 8-13 (B), and holds display flag corresponding to the variable display. The value of is specified (179SGS301). In the processing, if the first variable display start command reception flag is set, the value of the hold display flag of the entry "1-0" of the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A is specified, and the second variable display start command reception flag is set. When the display start command reception flag is set, the entry “2-0” of the start winning award reception command buffer 179SG194A may be specified.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the rear variable display suggestive effect and the effect to be executed as the rear variable display suggestive effect based on the value of the hold display flag specified in 179SGS301 (179SG302).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), when the value of the hold display flag specified in 179SGS301 is “0”, that is, the hold display advance notice effect is executed for the variable display. If not, 90% of the time, the non-execution of the rear part variable display suggestive effect is determined, 10% of the part is determined to execute the big hit suggestion effect as the rear part variable display suggestive effect, and 0% of the rear part. The execution of the setting suggestion effect is determined as the suggestion effect during variable display. Further, when the value of the hold display flag specified in 179SGS301 is "1" or "2", that is, the hold storage display is displayed as a white square or a star as the hold display notice effect targeting the variable display. If so, the non-execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect is determined at a rate of 50%, the jackpot suggestive effect execution is determined as a rear variable display suggestive effect at a rate of 50%, and 0% is determined. The execution of the setting suggestion effect is determined as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display.

  Further, when the value of the hold display flag specified in 179SGS301 is “3”, that is, when the hold storage display is displayed by the blue camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display, 30 The ratio of% determines non-execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect, the ratio of 35% determines execution of the big variable suggestive effect as the rear variable display suggestive effect, and the ratio of 35% determines rear effect variable display during suggestive effect. Determines the execution of the setting suggestion effect. When the value of the hold display flag specified in 179SGS301 is “4”, that is, when the hold storage display is displayed by the red camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display, 0 The ratio of% determines non-execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect, the ratio of 30% determines execution of the large variable suggestion effect as the rear variable display suggestive effect, and the ratio of 70% determines rear effect variable display during the suggestive effect. Determines the execution of the setting suggestion effect.

  That is, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, when the pending display notice effect is executed for the variable display, it is more than when the pending display notice effect is not executed for the variable display. It is set that the execution of the suggestion effect during rear variable display is determined at a high rate. Furthermore, when the hold storage display is displayed by the blue or red camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display (when the value of the hold display flag is “3” or “4”), It is higher than when the hold storage display is displayed as a white rectangle or a star as the hold display notice effect for the variable display (when the value of the hold display flag is "1" or "2"). The execution of the suggestion effect during rear variable display is set to be determined by the ratio, and the hold storage display is displayed as a white square or a star as the hold display notice effect for the variable display. It is set that the execution of the setting suggestion effect is determined as the suggestion effect during rear variable display at a higher rate than in the case.

  Also, pay attention to the case where the hold storage display is displayed by the blue or red camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display (when the value of the hold display flag is “3” or “4”). Then, when the hold memory display is displayed on the red camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display, the hold memory display is displayed on the blue camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display. It is set so that the execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect is determined at a higher rate than when it is displayed, and the hold memory display is a blue camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display. It is set so that the execution of the setting suggestion effect is determined as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display at a higher rate than that in the case of being displayed.

  From the above, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, when the hold storage display is displayed in a quadrangle or a star as the hold display notice effect intended for the variable display, as the rear part variable display suggestion effect. While it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the big hit suggestion effect is executed, the hold memory display is displayed on the blue or red camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display. In the case, the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the setting suggestive effect is executed as the rear variable display in-progress effect.

  Further, when the hold memory display is displayed on the red camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display, the hold memory display is displayed on the blue camera as the hold display notice effect for the variable display. Since the ratio of the setting suggestion effect to be executed as the rear variable display during suggestion effect is higher than that of the case where it is displayed, the game is further performed with respect to whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed as the rear variable display during suggestion effect. It is possible to get people to pay attention.

  Returning to FIG. 8-25, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the execution of the suggestion effect during rear variable display is decided in the process of 179SGS302 (179SGS303). When it is determined in the processing of 179SGS302 that the rear variable display suggestive effect is not executed, the rear variable display suggestive effect determination processing is ended, and when the execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect is determined in the processing of 179SGS302, In the processing of 179SGS302, it is determined whether or not the execution of the big hit suggestive effect has been decided as the rear variable display suggestive effect (179SGS304).

  In the process of 179SGS302, when the execution of the big hit suggestion effect is determined as the rear variable display suggestion effect, the effect pattern of the big hit suggestion effect is determined and stored based on the variable display result, and the rear variable display suggestion effect determination process is performed. The process ends (179SGS305).

  As effect patterns that can be determined in the process of 179SGS305, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (B), a total of three effect patterns from pattern AS-1 to pattern AS-3 are provided. Of these effect patterns, the pattern AS-1 is an effect pattern (big hit expectation: low) that suggests that the ratio (big hit expectation) that the variable display result is a big hit is the lowest, and the pattern AS-2 is The variable display result is a production pattern (big hit expectation: medium) that suggests that the ratio of big hits is higher than that of the pattern AS-1, and the pattern AS-3 has the highest ratio of big hits of the variable display results. It is a production pattern that suggests a high price (big hit expectation: high).

  Then, in the processing of 179 SGS 305 described above, as shown in FIG. 8-27, when the variable display result is a big hit, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect pattern of the big hit suggestive effect at a rate of 10% to the pattern AS-1. The pattern AS-2 is determined at a rate of 30%, and the pattern AS-3 is determined at a rate of 60%.

  On the other hand, in the processing of 179SGS302, when the execution of the setting suggesting effect is decided as the rear part variable display suggesting effect, the effect control CPU 120 refers to the RAM 122, and sets the setting value from the setting value designation command received from the CPU 103 (the pachinko game machine 1). (Setting value set in step 179) is specified (179SGS306). Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines and stores the effect pattern of the setting suggestion effect based on the specified setting value, and ends the rear variable display in-effect suggestion effect determination process (179SGS307).

  As the effect patterns that can be determined in the 179SG307, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (B), a total of five patterns from pattern SS-1 to pattern SS-5 are provided. Of these patterns SS-1 to SS-5, the pattern SS-1 suggests that the set value may be an odd number (for example, 1, 3, 5), and the pattern SS-2 has an even set value ( For example, the pattern SS-3 suggests the possibility that the setting value is an odd-numbered intermediate setting or more (for example, 3 or 5), and the pattern SS-4. Indicates that the set value may be higher than or equal to the even-numbered intermediate setting (for example, 4 or 6), and the pattern SS-5 indicates that the set value may be the highest setting (for example, 6).

  Then, for the patterns SS-1 and SS-2, if the set value is any one of 1 to 4 (low setting), it is determined at a high rate, so that either of the set values 5 and 6 (high setting). It is considered that the degree of expectation that the setting value is 5 is low, and the pattern SS-3 and the pattern SS-4 are determined with a high ratio when the setting value is either 5 or 6, and thus the setting value 5, It is said that the expectation of being 6 is high.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG, the setting values 1 to 4 are described as low settings, and the setting values 5 and 6 are described as high settings. However, the setting values 1 to 3 may be low settings and the setting values 4 to 6 may be high settings. However, the setting values 1 and 2 may be set low, the setting values 3 and 4 may be set intermediate, and the setting values 5 and 6 may be set high to set the execution ratio of the effect pattern.

  In the processing of 179 SGS307 described above, the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIG. 8-28, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the effect pattern is a pattern SS- at a rate of 60%. 1%, pattern SS-2 is determined at a rate of 25%, pattern SS-3 is determined at a rate of 9%, pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 6%, and pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Determined as SS-5. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SS-1 at a rate of 25%, the pattern SS-2 at a rate of 60%, and 6 The pattern SS-3 is determined at a rate of%, the pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 9%, and the pattern SS-5 is determined at a rate of 0%. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SS-1 at a rate of 50% and the pattern SS-2 at a rate of 20%. The pattern SS-3 is determined at a rate of%, the pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 10%, and the pattern SS-5 is determined at a rate of 0%.

  When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SS-1 at a rate of 20%, the pattern SS-2 at a rate of 50%, and 10 The pattern SS-3 is determined at a rate of%, the pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 20%, and the pattern SS-5 is determined at a rate of 0%. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 5, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SS-1 at a rate of 20%, and the pattern SS-2 at a rate of 30%. The pattern SS-3 is determined at a rate of%, the pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 20%, and the pattern SS-5 is determined at a rate of 0%. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SS-1 at a rate of 30% and the pattern SS-2 at a rate of 20%. The pattern SS-3 is determined at a rate of%, the pattern SS-4 is determined at a rate of 30%, and the pattern SS-5 is determined at a rate of 5%.

  As described above, in the feature unit 179SG, it is suggested that the set value is one of 1 to 4 by executing the set value suggestion effect in the pattern SS-1 or the pattern SS-2, and the set value suggestion is suggested. It is suggested that the setting value is 5 or 6 by the production being executed in the pattern SS-3 or the pattern SS-4. Then, when the setting suggestion effect is executed in the pattern SS-5, it is determined that the setting value is 6.

  FIG. 8-29 is a flow chart showing the front variable display suggestive effect determination process (179SGS280) executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 8-23. In the front variable display suggestive effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-29, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the variable display result of the variable display (179SGS311). Further, it is determined whether or not the execution of the setting suggestion effect is determined as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display (179SGS312).

  If the execution of the big hit suggestive effect is decided as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display, the execution of the big hit suggestive effect and the presence or absence of the execution of the suggestion effect during the front variable display and the suggestion during the front variable display are performed. The effect to be executed as the effect is determined from the character effect and the timer effect (179SGS313). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-30 (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the front variable display suggestive effect is determined at a rate of 40%, and a rate of 30%. The execution of the character effect is determined as the front variable display suggestive effect, and the execution of the timer effect is determined as the front variable display instructive effect at a rate of 30%. Further, when the variable display result is out of alignment, 70% of the non-execution of the front variable display suggestive effect is determined, and 25% of the non-execution of the character effect is determined as the front variable display suggestive effect. Then, the execution of the timer effect is determined as a suggestion effect during front variable display at a rate of 5%.

  In other words, when the execution of the big hit suggestive effect is determined as the rear part variable display suggestive effect, when the variable display result is the big hit, the front variable display is performed at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the off. When the execution of the suggestive effect is determined and the variable display result is a big hit, the execution of the character effect and the execution of the timer effect are determined at the same ratio as the suggestive effect during the front variable display, while the variable display result is determined. If the value is out of the range, the execution of the character effect is determined at a higher rate than the execution of the timer effect as the suggestion effect during front variable display, that is, the expectation of the big hit of the timer effect is higher than the expectation of the big hit of the character effect. It is set.

  When the execution of the setting suggestive effect is determined as the rear part variable display in-progressive effect, the effect control CPU 120 executes the setting variable effect and executes the front variable in-display suggestive effect based on the variable display result. The presence / absence and the effect to be executed as the suggestion effect during front variable display are determined from the character effect and the timer effect (179SGS314). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-30 (B), when the variable display result is the big hit, the non-execution of the front variable display suggestive effect is determined at a rate of 30%, and the rate of 0%. Determines the execution of the character effect as the front variable display suggestive effect, and determines the execution of the timer effect as the front variable display instructive effect at a rate of 70%. In addition, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the front variable display suggestive effect is determined at a rate of 80%, and the character effect execution is determined as the front variable display suggestive effect at a rate of 0%. Then, the execution of the timer effect is determined as a suggestion effect during front variable display at a rate of 20%.

  In other words, when the execution of the setting suggestive effect is decided as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display, the front variable display is performed at a higher rate when the variable display result is a big hit than when the variable display result is out of control. The execution of the suggestive effect is determined, and it is set such that the execution of the character effect is not determined as the suggestive effect during the front variable display regardless of whether the variable display result is a big hit or a failure. That is, the jackpot expectation of the timer effect is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the character effect.

  For this reason, when the variable display result is a big hit, execution of the timer effect is determined at a higher rate than when the variable display result is a failure, so it is suggested during the front variable display. When the timer effect is executed as the effect, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the fact that the variable display result is a big hit.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8-29, after the execution of 179SGS313 or 179SGS314, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the front variable display suggestive effect has been decided (179SGS315). If it is determined that the front variable display suggestive effect is not executed, the front variable display suggestive effect determination process is terminated, and if it is determined that the front variable display suggestive effect is executed, the front part is further moved. It is determined whether or not execution of a character effect has been determined as the variable display suggestion effect (179SGS316).

  When the execution of the character effect is determined as the front variable display suggestive effect, the effect pattern of the character effect is determined and stored based on the variable display result, and the front variable display instructive effect determination process is ended. (179SGS317).

  As the effect pattern of the character effect that can be determined in the processing of 179SGS317, as shown in FIG. 8-30 (C), two effect patterns, pattern CS-1 and pattern CS-2, are provided in total. .. Of these effect patterns, the pattern CS-1 is an effect pattern (a big hit expectation degree: low) that suggests that the variable display result is the biggest hit by displaying the character A (not shown) on the image display device 5. Yes, the pattern CS-2 suggests that the ratio at which the variable display result is a big hit by displaying the character B (not shown) on the image display device 5 is higher than that of the pattern CS-1. ).

  Therefore, in the process of 179SGS317, the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the effect pattern of the character effect is the pattern CS-1 at a rate of 20%. The pattern CS-2 is determined at a rate of 80%. On the other hand, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the effect pattern of the character effect is determined as the pattern CS-1 at a rate of 80% and the pattern CS-2 at a rate of 20%.

  When the execution of the timer effect is determined as the front variable display suggestive effect, the effect control CPU 120 causes the timer effect effect pattern based on the effect determined to be executed as the rear variable display suggestive effect. Is determined and stored, and the part variable display in-progress suggestion effect determination process is ended (179SGS318).

  As the effect pattern of the timer effect that can be determined in the processing of 179SGS318, as shown in FIG. 8-30 (C), a total of two effect patterns of pattern TS-1 and pattern TS-2 are provided. Of these effect patterns, the pattern TS-1 suggests that the ratio at which the variable display result is a big hit on the image display device 5 is higher than that of the character effect patterns CS-1 and CS-2 (big hit expectation: high). ) Together with the image of the character X for 25 seconds to suggest the period until the start of execution of the rear variable display suggestion effect, and the pattern TS-2 is a ratio in which the variable display result is a big hit in the image display device 5. Is higher than the pattern CS-1 and the pattern CS-2 of the character effect (big hit expectation degree: high), and the period until the start of execution of the suggestion effect during rear variable display is continued for 25 seconds together with the image of the character Y. Is an effect suggested by (see FIG. 8-31 (C), FIG. 8-40 (D), and FIG. 8-40 (E)).

  Therefore, in the processing of 179SGS318, the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (B), when the rear variable display in-progress effect that is determined to be executed is the big hit suggestive effect, the effect of the timer effect. The pattern is determined to be the pattern TS-1 at a rate of 80% and the pattern TS-2 at a rate of 20%. Further, when the rear variable display suggestive effect whose execution has been determined is the setting suggestive effect, effect control CPU 120 determines pattern TS-1 at a rate of 80% and pattern TS- at a rate of 20%. Decide to 2.

  That is, when the timer effect is executed as the front variable display suggestive effect, the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-2 rather than the pattern TS-1 (that is, the timer effect is executed). When the effect production period is long and the character B is displayed rather than the character A on the image display device 5), the ratio of executing the setting suggestion effect as the rear variable display in-progress effect is set to be higher. Therefore, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the player can be made to pay attention to the effect period of the timer effect and the character displayed on the image display device 5. Further, when the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-2, it is possible to make the player expect the setting suggestion effect to be executed more than when the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-1. It is possible to improve the fun of playing games.

  As described above, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-30 (D), in the case where the timer effect is executed as the front variable display suggestive effect, the front variable display intent effect is produced. The big hit expectation degree is set higher than when the character effect is executed as, and the suggestion is set as the rear variable display suggestive effect at a higher rate than when the character effect is executed as the front variable display suggestive effect. The production is designed to be executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-32, when the execution of the front variable display suggestive effect during the variable display is determined, the effect control CPU 120 determines in the variable display effect process (S172). It suffices to set process data according to the effect pattern of the front suggestion during variable display, and control the effect device according to the content of the process data according to the process timer in the following effect effect during variable display (S172). In addition, when it is determined that the rear variable display suggestive effect execution during the variable display is determined, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the rear variable display suggestive effect start waiting timer by -1 every time the variable display in-progress effect processing is executed. Then, based on the value of the rear variable display suggestive effect start waiting timer becoming 0, the process data according to the determined effect pattern of the rear variable display suggestive effect is set. In the subsequent variable display effect process (S172), the effect device may be controlled according to the content of the process data corresponding to the process timer.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-32 (A) and 8-32 (B), the big hit suggestion effect and the setting suggestion effect as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display in the feature section 179SG are performed during the reach effect execution period. In 7), which is a period (see FIG. 8-6) longer than the special figure variation time of the non-reach variation pattern. Therefore, even if the player leaves the image display device 5 for a moment, it is possible to prevent the player from missing the big hit suggesting effect and the setting suggesting effect.

  FIG. 8-33 is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed by the 179 SGS 291 of FIG. 8-24 as the high-base medium variable display suggestion effect determination process. In the high base medium variable display suggesting effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (179SGS321), and determines whether the high base medium variable display suggesting effect is executed and the damage-based medium variable display suggesting. The effect pattern of the effect is determined (179SGS322).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-34 (A), when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is non-reach (when non-reach is out), the high base rate is 100%. The non-execution of the medium variable display suggestion effect is determined, the execution of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect is determined at 0%, and the execution of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect is determined at the rate of 0%. The execution in KS-2 is determined, and the execution in pattern KS-3 of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect is determined at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is out of alignment and the variation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), it is determined at 50% that non-execution of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect is performed, and at 40%. The execution of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect pattern KS-1 is decided, the execution of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect pattern KS-2 is decided, and the high base is decided to be 0%. The execution of the medium variable display suggestion effect in the pattern KS-3 is determined.

  If the variable display result is out of alignment and the variation pattern is super reach (in case of out of reach), the non-execution of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect is determined at a rate of 30% and 30%. The percentage determines the execution in the pattern KS-1 of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect, determines the execution in the pattern KS-2 of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect in the ratio of 30%, and determines the percentage 0%. The execution of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect in the pattern KS-3 is determined. When the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 10%, and the high base medium variable display suggestion effect pattern KS-1 is determined at a rate of 20%. The execution is decided, the execution in the high base medium variable display suggestive effect pattern KS-2 is decided at a rate of 60%, and the execution in the high base medium variable display suggestive effect pattern KS-3 is decided at a rate of 10%. decide.

  When the variable display result is a small hit, the non-execution of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 100%, and the high base medium variable display suggestion effect pattern KS-1 is determined at a rate of 0%. Of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect at 0%, and 0% of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect at pattern KS-3. To decide.

  As shown in FIG. 8-34 (B), when the pattern KS-1 which is the effect pattern of the high base medium variable display suggestive effect is not executed in the image display device 5, the high base medium variable display suggestive effect is not executed. Is a production pattern that displays a message (for example, “chance” or the like) indicating that the variable display result is a big jackpot (the jackpot expectation is high) in blue, and the pattern KS-2 is an image display. This is a presentation pattern in which a message (for example, “hot”) indicating that the variable display result is a big hit in the device 5 is higher than the pattern KS-1 (the big hit expectation is high) in red. Then, the pattern KS-3 is an effect pattern in which a message (for example, "big hit confirmation") for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit on the image display device 5 is displayed in rainbow color.

  In other words, as the high base medium variable display suggestion effect in the feature unit 179SG, the jackpot expectation differs depending on the content of the message displayed on the image display device 5 (the jackpot expectation for each message: “big hit confirmation”> “ "Hot"> "Chance"), the expectation of jackpots also differs depending on the color of these messages. In particular, displaying these messages in rainbow colors means that the variable display result is always a big hit (big hit expectation degree for each color of the message: iridescent> red> blue).

  Returning to FIG. 8-33, the effect control CPU 120, after executing the process of 179SGS322, determines whether or not the execution of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect has been determined (179SGS323). When the execution of the high base medium variable display suggesting effect is decided (179SGS323; Y), the decided effect pattern is stored and the high base medium variable display suggesting effect determining process is ended (179SGS324), and the high base medium variable display suggesting is executed. When it is determined that the effect is not executed (179SGS323; N), the high base medium variable display suggestion effect determination process is ended without executing the process of 179SGS324.

  When it is determined to execute the high base medium variable display suggestion effect, the effect control CPU 120, in the variable display during effect process (S172), outputs process data according to the decided effect pattern of the high base medium variable display suggestion effect. It is only necessary to set and control the rendering device in accordance with the content of the process data corresponding to the process timer in the subsequent variable display effect processing (S172).

  FIG. 8-35 is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed in the 179 SGS 293 of FIG. 8-24, as the special reach effect pattern determination process. In the special reach effect pattern determination processing, the effect control CPU 120 specifies whether or not the special reach effect is executed from the initial hit to the variable display (179SGS331), and the special reach effect from the initial hit to the variable display. It is determined whether or not is executed (179SGS332). When the special reach effect is not executed from the first hit to the variable display (179SGS332; N), the effect pattern of the special reach effect is determined from effect pattern α to effect pattern γ and stored (179SGS333), and the special reach effect is generated. The pattern determination process ends. On the other hand, when the special reach effect is executed from the initial hit to the variable display (179SGS332; Y), the effect pattern of the special reach effect is determined and stored from among the previously excluded effect patterns ( 179SGS334), and the special reach effect pattern determination processing ends. In the process of 179SGS331, whether or not the special reach effect is executed from the first hit to the variable display may be specified depending on whether or not the effect pattern stored in these 179SGS333 and 179SGS334 is present.

  In the processing of 179SGS333, as shown in FIG. 8-36 (A), the execution of the special reach production effect pattern α is determined at a rate of 33.3%, and the execution of the special reach production effect pattern β is performed. Is determined at a rate of 33.3%, and execution of the special reach effect in the effect pattern γ is determined at a rate of 33.4%.

  In the process of 179SGS334, the special reach effect is executed from the first hit to the variable display, and when the last special reach effect is executed with the effect pattern α, as shown in FIG. 8-36 (B). In addition, the execution of the special reach production in the production pattern α is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution of the special reach production in the production pattern β is determined at a rate of 50%, and the execution of the special reach production is performed in the production pattern γ. Is determined at a rate of 50%. Further, when the special reach effect is executed from the initial hit to the variable display and the previous special reach effect is executed with the effect pattern β, as shown in FIG. Execution of the reach production in the production pattern α is determined at a rate of 50%, execution of the special reach production in the production pattern β is determined at a rate of 0%, and execution of the special reach production in the production pattern γ is set at 50%. It is decided by the ratio of. Then, when the special reach effect is executed from the first hit to the variable display and the previous special reach effect is executed with the effect pattern γ, as shown in FIG. Execution of the reach production in the production pattern α is determined at a rate of 50%, execution of the special reach production in the production pattern β is determined at a rate of 50%, and execution of the special reach production in the production pattern γ is set to 0%. It is decided by the ratio of.

  As shown in FIG. 8-36 (E), the effect pattern α of the special reach effect is a full rotation reach effect in which the character X is mainly displayed on the image display device 5, and the effect pattern β of the special reach effect. Is a full rotation reach production in which the character Y is mainly displayed on the image display device 5, and a production pattern γ of the special reach production is a full rotation reach production in which the character Z is mainly displayed on the image display device 5. .

  After the effect control CPU 120 executes the special reach effect pattern determination process, the effect control CPU 120 selects the process table corresponding to the effect pattern of the special reach effect in the process of 179SGS294 (see FIG. 8-24). Further, by executing the processing of 179SGS286 to 179SGS290, the special reach effect is executed in the variable display in the high base state.

  As described above, as shown in FIG. 8-37 (A), when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach α and the super reach β in the high base state and the variable display result is the big hit A, Regarding the case where the variable display is executed with the variation pattern of the super reach α or the super reach β in the variable display after the 51st time in the high base state and the variable display result is the big hit B, the effect control CPU 120 causes the variable display. It is possible to execute the high base medium variable display suggestion effect during the period of 20 seconds between the start of and the reach, and during the execution period of the reach effect (23 seconds or 33 seconds after reaching). , The operation of the movable body 179SG300 and the image display device 5 from the second timing during the execution of the reach effect to the timing until the variable display ends. It adapted to big-hit confirmation notification effect to stop displaying the symbols decoration after the display of the iridescent effect image 179SG005K (see Figure 8-46).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-37 (B), in the case where the variable display is executed with the variation pattern of the super reach γ in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state and the variable display result is the big hit B. The effect control CPU 120 operates the movable body 179SG300 and the rainbow effect image 179SG005K on the image display device 5 from the first timing in the period of 20 seconds from the start of the variable display to the reach. (See -45) is displayed to notify the player that the variable display result is a big hit B. Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the special reach effect (full rotation reach effect) on the image display device 5 for the reach effect execution period (160 seconds after reaching the reach), and also ends the special reach effect. The decorative design is stopped and displayed near the timing. That is, the big hit confirmation notification effect in FIG. 8-37 (B) is executed for the movable body 179SG300 and the iridescent effect image 179SG005K (see FIG. 8-45) in the image display device 5 which are executed during the 20 seconds before the reach. The display and the display of the decorative pattern during the reach production are stopped.

  As described above, in the feature unit 179SG, in the case where the variable display result is the big hit A in the 1st to 50th variable display in the high base state, as shown in FIG. While it is informed that the movable body 179SG300 operates from the second timing during the execution period and the variable display result is a big hit, the variable display result has a large value B in the 1st to 50th variable display in the high base state. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 8-37 (B), the movable body 179SG300 operates from the first timing, which is the period from the start of the variable display to the reach, and the variable display result is a big hit. (Big hit B) is notified.

  Also, paying attention to the case where the variable display result is a big hit B in the high base state, as shown in FIG. While the fact that the variable display is a big hit is notified from one timing (the timing within 20 seconds from the start of the variable display to the reach), the second timing (the timing when the reach effect is executed later than the first timing). ) Does not notify that the variable display is a big hit. When the variable display count is 51st or later, the fact that the variable display is a big hit is not notified from the first timing, while the variable display is a big hit from the second timing at a rate of 100%. Is notified.

  In addition, in the feature unit 179SG, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the first to 50th variable display in the high base state, it is informed that the variable display is the big hit at the first timing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, the variable is changed at the second timing. A case may be provided in which it is notified that the display is a big hit.

  FIG. 8-38 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S177 of FIG. 7 as the ending effect process. In the ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the ending effect process timer is in operation (179SGS341). When the ending effect process timer is not in operation (179SGS341; N), the ending effect process timer according to the big hit type is set (179SGS342). In the processing of 179SGS342 of the feature unit 179SG, if the big hit type is a big hit A, the ending effect process timer for executing the ending effect for 20 seconds according to the first display period described above is set, and the big hit type is set. Is a big hit B, the ending effect process timer for executing the ending effect for 45 seconds according to the second display period described above may be set.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 starts the ending effect process timer (179SGS343), and controls the effect device (image display device 5, speakers 8L, 8R, game effect lamp 9, etc.) according to the contents of the process data 1 to end effect. The process ends (179SGS344).

  If the ending effect process timer is operating in the processing of 179SGS341 (179SGS341; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the ending effect process timer by -1 (179SGS345), and ends the value by -1. It is determined whether or not the effect process timer has timed out, that is, whether or not the value of the ending effect process timer has become 0 (179SGS346). When the ending effect process timer has timed out (179SGS346; Y), the ending effect process data is switched (179SGS347) and the next ending effect process timer is started (179SGS348). Then, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the next process data (179SGS349), and the ending effect process is ended.

  If the ending effect timer has not timed out (179SGS346; N), the effect device is controlled according to the process data corresponding to the ending effect process timer (179SGS350), and the ending effect process ends.

  When the ending effect process timer has timed out in the processing of 179SGS346, the effect control CPU 120 may end the ending effect if the ending effect process timer that has timed out is the last ending effect process timer.

  As the effect control CPU 120 executes the ending effect process as described above, as shown in FIG. 8-39 (A), at the end of the big hit game of the big hit A, the first high base as the ending effect in the image display device 5. The state entry effect is displayed for 20 seconds. After that, the game state is controlled to a highly accurate and high base state. The high-accuracy high-base state is controlled to the low-accuracy high-base state by executing variable display 100 times, and is controlled to the low-accuracy low-base state by executing variable display 50 times. It

  That is, the first high base state rush effect in the characteristic unit 179SG is to be controlled to the high base state for 100 times of variable display and to be controlled to the high accuracy state for 150 times of variable display. It is also a performance to inform.

  As shown in FIG. 8-39 (A), in the first high base state rush effect, "100 times" is displayed as the variable display number (time saving number) controlled to the high base state in the image display device 5. It has become so.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39 (B), at the end of the big hit game of the big hit B, the first ending effect and the second ending effect are executed. More specifically, first, after the first high base state rush effect is displayed on the image display device 5 for 20 seconds, the second high base state rush effect is displayed on the image display device 5 for 25 seconds. To be done. Particularly, in the second high base state rush effect, the movable body 179SG300 operates for 5 seconds after the second high base state rush effect is started. After that, the game state is controlled to a highly accurate and high base state. The high-precision high-base state is controlled to the low-precision low-base state by executing the variable display 150 times.

  That is, the second high base state rush effect in the characteristic unit 179SG is to be controlled to the high base state for 150 times of variable display and to be controlled to the high accuracy state for 150 times of variable display. The ending effect shown in FIG. 8-39 (B) includes a second high base state rush effect in addition to the above-described first high base state rush effect.

  In the ending effect shown in FIG. 8-39 (B), during the execution of the first high base state rush effect, the variable display number (time saving number) temporarily controlled to the high base state in the image display device 5 is “ "100 times" is displayed. Then, the display of "100 times" is updated and displayed to "150 times" in a predetermined period during the execution of the second high base state rush effect (the time saving display updating period shown in FIG. 8-39 (B)). ..

  As shown in FIG. 8-39 (B), in the first high base state entry effect, while the display of “100 times” which is the variable display count controlled to the high base state is executed in an instant, The update from the display of "100 times" to the display of "150 times" in the second high base state rush effect is executed over a predetermined period (for example, 10 seconds).

  Next, an effect mode during variable display in the low base state in the feature unit 179SG will be described based on FIGS. 8-40 to 8-42. First, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (A) and FIG. 8-40 (B), a new start winning is generated during variable display, and the display of the hold storage display is made as a pre-reading notice effect based on the starting winning. When the pattern is determined to be the display pattern γ or the display pattern δ, a new reserved storage display is displayed in a blue or red camera mode in the first reserved storage display area 179SG005D or the second reserved storage display area 179SG005U. .

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-40 (C) to 8-40 (E), when the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display which is the mode of the camera is started as a new variable display, the front portion is displayed. A timer effect is started as a suggestion effect during variable display. At this time, when the effect pattern of the timer effect is the pattern TS-1, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (D), the image 179SG005X of the character X is displayed on the left part of the image display device 5 and the rear part is displayed. The timer renewal display for 25 seconds, which is the period until the suggestion effect during variable display, is started. When the effect pattern of the timer effect is the pattern TS-2, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (E), the image 179SG005Y of the character Y is displayed on the left part of the image display device 5 and the rear part is variable. The timer update display is started for 30 seconds, which is the period until the suggested effect during display.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 8-41 (F) to 8-41 (H), when the variable display progresses along with the timer update display up to the rear variable display indicative effect, the super reach effect is started. When the timer reaches 0 seconds during execution of the super reach effect (the timer effect ends), the big hit suggestion effect or the setting suggestion effect is started as the rear variable display in-progress effect.

  Specifically, when execution of the big hit suggestive effect is decided as the suggestion effect during rear variable display, if the decided effect pattern is the pattern AS-1, as shown in FIG. 8-41 (I). In the image display device 5, a message such as "chance!" Indicating that the jackpot expectation degree is low is displayed, and if the decided effect pattern is the pattern AS-2, it is shown in FIG. 8-41 (J). As described above, in the image display device 5, a message indicating that the big hit expectation degree such as “hot!” Is higher than the pattern AS-1 is displayed, and if the decided effect pattern is the pattern AS-3, FIG. As shown at -41 (K), a message indicating that the jackpot expectation degree such as "Gekiatsu!" Is higher than the pattern AS-2 is displayed on the image display device 5.

  On the other hand, when the execution of the setting suggestion effect is determined as the suggestion effect during the rear variable display, the effect pattern of the setting suggestion effect is set as shown in FIG. 8-42 (L) to FIG. 8-42 (P). In the case of the pattern SS-1 to the pattern SS-4, the set value suggestion images 131SG005H, 131SG005I, 131SG005J, 131SG005K of different characters are displayed on the image display device 5, and are set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The set value that is present is suggested. Further, when the effect pattern of the set value suggestive effect is the pattern SS-5, the set value suggestive image 131SGS005L in which all the characters displayed on the image display device 5 in the pattern SS-1 to the pattern SS-4 are gathered is the image display device. 5 is displayed.

  As described above, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, when the pre-reading notice is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera as the pre-reading notice, the pre-reading notice is not executed or the pre-reading notice is displayed. The setting suggestion effect is executed at a higher rate than when is displayed as a white square or a star. Therefore, the player suggests a setting suggestion by a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, which the player holds in anticipation that the preset suggestion effect will be executed at the stage when the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera. You can now prepare to shoot the production. In other words, the hold storage display of the blue or red camera mode in the feature unit 179SG is also an effect that prompts the player to prepare for shooting the setting suggestion effect.

  Next, the presentation mode at the end of the big hit game and in the high base state will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-43 to 8-46.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) and 8-43 (B), when the big hit game of the big hit A is finished, the first high base state rush effect is executed as the ending effect. At this time, the image display device 5 displays "100 times" as the variable display count (time saving count) controlled to the high base state. Then, after the first high base state plunge effect is completed, the game state is controlled to the highly accurate high base state.

  Next, during execution of the big hit B big hit game, as shown in FIGS. 8-44 (A) and 8-44 (B), a predetermined round of the big hit game (8 rounds in FIG. 8-44 (B)). In the eye), the fact that the big hit game is a 16-round big hit game and that the high base state is controlled over the variable display of 150 times after the big hit game is notified.

  Then, when the jackpot game is over, as shown in FIG. 8-44 (C), as a part of the ending effect, first the first high base state rush effect is executed, and the image display device 5 is controlled to the high base state. “100 times” is displayed as the variable display count (time saving count). Next, when the first high base state rush effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 8-44 (D) and 8-44 (E), as the second high base state rush effect, from the standby position of the movable body 179SG300. The movement (motion) to the effect position and the movement (motion) from the effect position to the standby position are executed. When the movable body 179SG300 returns to the standby position, the display of “100 times” displayed on the image display device 5 is updated to the display of “150 times”.

  Further, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, the variable display is started as shown in FIGS. 8-45 (A) to 8-45 (C). Then, the movable body 179SG300 is moved (moved) from the standby position to the effect position. At this time, on the image display device 5, the rainbow-colored effect image 179SG005K is displayed so as to partially overlap the movable body 179SG300 located at the effect position. Therefore, the player can recognize that the variable display result of the variable display is the big hit B by the operation of the movable body 179SG300 and the display of the effect image 179SG005K, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the movable body 179SG300 is moved (moved) from the effect position to the standby position, in the image display device 5, the full-rotation reach effect is any of the effect patterns α to effect pattern γ as the special reach effect. Executed. During execution of the full rotation reach effect, an effect image 179SG005M different from the effect image 179SG005K is displayed in a rainbow color on the image display device 5 together with the full rotation reach effect image. Therefore, the player recognizes that the variable display result of the variable display is a big hit B by recognizing the display of the effect image 179SG005M in addition to the operation of the movable body 179SG300 and the display of the effect image 179SG005K described above. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the enjoyment of the game.

  In addition, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display after the 51st time in the high base state or when the variable display result is the big hit A in the high base state, FIGS. As shown in −46 (C), the reach effect is executed as in the low base state. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-46 (D), the movable body 179SG300 is moved from the standby position to the effect position during the reach effect, and the rainbow effect image 179SG005K is displayed on the image display device 5. Is executed to notify that the variable display result is a big hit.

  Then, after the movable body 179SG300 is moved from the effect position to the standby position, the rainbow effect image 179SG005M is displayed on the image display device 5 and the decorative design is stopped and displayed in a combination showing a big hit. ..

  As described above, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the character effect and the timer effect having a higher jackpot expectation degree than the character effect can be executed as the front variable display suggestion effect which indicates the big hit expectation degree, and FIG. As shown in -30 (D), when the timer effect is executed during the variable display, the setting suggestion effect is set as the rear variable display suggestion effect at a higher rate than when the character effect is executed during the variable display. Executed. That is, when the timer effect is executed, the player pays more attention to whether or not the variable display result is a big hit because the jackpot expectation degree is higher than when the character effect is executed. The setting suggestion effect is executed in a state of paying attention to, so that the player can prevent the setting suggestion effect from being overlooked.

  Further, as the front variable display suggestive effect during the variable display, in addition to the character effect, it is possible to execute a timer effect that suggests a period until the start of the rear variable display suggestive effect. By being executed, the player can easily recognize the execution start timing of the setting suggestion effect.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, as a timer effect, a numerical value is displayed as a timer effect until the start of execution of the rear variable display suggestive effect (see FIGS. 8-40 (D) and 8-40 (E)). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as the timer effect, for example, by indicating an increase / decrease display of a gauge, a meter, etc. The period until the execution of the effect is started may not be clearly notified (only the approximate period is suggested).

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-40 (D) and 8-40 (E), the timer effect is executed by the image display on the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and image display on the image display device 5, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, emission of the game effect lamp 9, display means other than the image display device 5. It is also possible to execute any one of the above-mentioned display modes or a plurality of modes in combination.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-41 (H) and 8-42 (L), the timer displayed on the image display device 5 as the timer effect is 0. Based on this, a jackpot suggestion effect may be executed as the suggestion effect during rear variable display, in addition to the setting suggestion effect. In other words, even if the timer effect is executed, the big hit suggesting effect may be executed instead of the setting suggesting effect, so that it is possible to produce an unexpected effect and improve the enjoyment of the game.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, based on the fact that the timer displayed on the image display device 5 has become 0 as a timer effect, the setting suggestion performance and the jackpot suggestion effect are performed as the rear variable display suggestive effect. Although a mode in which only one of them can be executed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is based on that the timer displayed on the image display device 5 becomes 0 as a timer effect. Alternatively, both the setting suggestion performance and the jackpot suggestion effect may be executed as the rear variable display during suggestion effect.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the case where the rear variable display during suggestion effect is executed whenever the timer effect is executed as the front variable display during suggestion effect is exemplified. The present invention is not limited to this, and a case may be provided in which the rear variable display in-progress suggestion effect is not executed even if the timer effect is executed as the front variable display in-progress effect.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-31 (B) and 8-31 (C), as the effect pattern of the timer effect, a pattern TS-1 having an effect period of 25 seconds and a pattern having an effect period of 30 seconds are used. TS-2 is provided, and when the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-2, the setting suggestion effect is executed at a higher rate than when the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-1. That is, when the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-2, it is suggested that the setting suggestion effect is executed for a longer period of time than when the timer effect is executed in the pattern TS-1. It is possible to further prevent the player from missing the setting suggestion effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-32, the rear part variable display suggestive effect including the setting suggestive effect is executed during the reach effect period which is the latter half period in the variable display of the super reach, so that the setting suggestive effect by the player is performed. It is possible to further prevent the overlooking.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the setting suggesting effect is executed during the reach effect period which is the latter half period in the variable display of the super reach, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, a case may be provided in which the setting suggestion effect is executed in the first half period of the variable display of super reach.

  Further, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-26, the display mode of the pending storage display as a prefetching notice is changed to that of a white square or star, or a blue or red camera. In the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display (the value of the hold display flag is 3 or 4) that is a blue or red camera mode, the hold display notice effect that can be displayed in a mode or the like can be executed. Execution of the setting suggestion effect can be determined at a higher rate than the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display (the value of the hold display flag is 1 or 2) in which the display mode is a white square or a star. Therefore, in the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display (the value of the hold display flag is 3 or 4) in which the display mode is a blue or red camera mode, the player determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit. Since the setting suggestion effect is executed while paying attention, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the setting suggestion effect.

  Further, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-40 and 8-42, when the hold display notice effect is executed, it corresponds to the hold storage display which is the target of the hold display notice effect. The setting suggestion effect can be executed in the variable display (variable display immediately after the hold display notice effect is finished). For this reason, the setting suggestion effect is executed when the player is paying attention to the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display which is the object of the hold display notice effect, so that the player should not overlook the setting suggestion effect. It can be prevented further.

  In addition, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the form in which the hold display notice effect can be executed as the readahead notice has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold display notice is used as the readahead notice. It may be possible to execute an effect other than the effect and suggest that the setting suggestion effect is executed as the effect mode of the effect.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, a mode in which the setting suggestion effect can be executed in the variable display (the variable display immediately after the end of the hold display notice effect) corresponding to the hold storage display which is the target of the hold display notice effect However, the present invention is not limited to this, and during execution of the hold display notice effect (that is, rather than the start of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display that is the target of the hold display notice effect). The setting suggestion effect may be executable from the previous timing).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-22, the ratio of displaying the holding memory display in the form of a blue or red camera as the prefetching notice effect is such that the holding memory display is a white rectangle or a star as the prefetching notice effect. Since it is set lower than the ratio to be displayed, the pending storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera so that the pending storage display is displayed as a white square or a star. It is possible to draw the attention of the person, and it is possible to further prevent the engineer from overlooking the setting suggestion effect.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the ratio of displaying the pending storage display in the form of a blue or red camera as the prefetching notice effect is such that the pending storage display is a white square or star shape as the prefetching notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reserved memory display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera as a prefetching notice effect. The ratio may be set higher than the ratio of displaying the reserved memory display as a white square or a star as the read-ahead notice effect, or the reserved memory display of a blue or red camera as the read-ahead notice effect. It is also possible to make the display ratio in the form and the display ratio of the pending storage display as a white quadrangle or a star as the pre-reading notice effect the same.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as a hold display notice effect, a hold memory display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera so that the player is ready to shoot the setting suggestion effect. Since the player can prepare a form terminal such as a smartphone before the start of the setting suggestion effect, the player can increase the success rate of shooting the setting suggestion effect.

  In the feature unit 179SG of the present embodiment, the player is prepared to shoot the setting suggestion effect by displaying the hold memory display as a blue or red camera mode as the hold display notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera as the hold display notice effect, the speaker 8L, 8R is used. Alternatively, the player may be separately urged to prepare for photographing the setting suggestive effect by the sound output, the message image displayed on the image display device 5, or the like.

  In addition, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, the hold display advance notice effect is provided by the display pattern γ that displays the hold storage display in the form of the blue camera and the display pattern δ that displays the hold storage display in the form of the red camera. Execution is possible, and as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), when the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue camera (when the value of the hold display flag is 3) and when the hold storage display is red. The case in which the setting suggestion effect is executed is different from that in the case of the display in the camera mode (when the value of the hold display flag is 4). In particular, when the hold storage display is displayed in the red camera mode, the setting suggestion effect is executed at a higher rate than when the hold storage display is displayed in the blue camera mode. When the display is displayed in the form of a red camera, the player is made to pay attention to whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed, as compared with the case where the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue camera. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

  In the feature unit 179SG of the present embodiment, when the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera, the hold storage display is displayed until the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display is started. Although the mode in which the mode does not change is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a case where the display mode of the pending storage display changes from the mode of the blue camera to the mode of the red camera may be provided. In addition, there is provided a case where the pending storage display corresponding to the variable display being executed is continuously displayed as the active display, and the display mode of the active display is changed from the blue camera mode to the red camera mode. May be. By doing so, it is possible to make the player pay attention as to whether or not the setting suggestive effect is executed until the variable display is finished, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-23, the rear part variable display suggestive effect including the setting suggestive effect is only in the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach where the special figure variation time is long. It is possible to execute, and it is not executed in the variable display of the normal reach or the non-reach fluctuation pattern where the special figure fluctuation time is short, so it is possible to suppress the setting suggestion effect from being executed during the short variable display period, and to play the game. It is possible to prevent the person from overlooking the setting suggestion effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6 and FIG. 8-32, the execution period of the setting suggestive effect is set to 7 seconds, which is longer than the special figure variation time of the variation pattern of the shortened non-reach, so that the super reach is variable. It is possible to further prevent the player from overlooking the setting suggestion effect during display (during execution of the reach effect).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-22, when the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera, the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display is a super reach capable of executing the setting suggestion effect. Since it suggests that the display is variable, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed by displaying the hold storage display in the form of a blue or red camera. Can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-22, when the variation category is non-reach or other (normal reach or small hit), that is, when the special figure variation time is determined to be shorter than the super reach, the pending display is displayed. Since the hold storage display is not displayed in the form of a blue or red camera as a notice effect, the player is paying attention because the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera. Nevertheless, it is possible to prevent the interest from being deteriorated without executing the setting suggestion effect because the variable display corresponding to the hold storage display is a variable display such as non-reach or normal reach.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-32, while the variable display of the super reach is performed, the suggestion effect during the front variable display including the timer effect can be executed, but it is more special than the variable display of the super reach. The timer effect is not executed during variable display of non-reach or normal reach with a short variation time.Therefore rear effect variable display including setting suggestion effect.Timer effect is displayed during variable display of non-reach or normal reach where suggestion effect is not executed. It is possible to prevent the production from being inconsistent due to the execution of.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 and 8-17, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the 1st to 50th variable displays in the high base state, the big hit variation pattern determination table B should be selected. If the variable pattern is determined to be the super reach γ variation pattern and the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display after the 51st time in the high base state, be sure to select the big hit change pattern determination table A. Since the variation pattern is determined to be one of the normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β variation patterns, it is possible to prevent the jackpot B jackpot gaming state from continuously occurring in a short period of time, and at the same time during the variable display. Since the fact that the variable display result is the big hit B is notified promptly at one timing, the dissatisfaction feeling increases due to the lengthening of the variable display period. And slow it can be prevented.

  In the characteristic part 179SG, the operation of the movable body 179SG300 for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit is executed from the first timing before reaching and after reaching (reach production. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the first timing is earlier than the second timing, the first timing and the second timing will be described. The movable body 179SG300 may be operated from each of the two timings as a timing before the reach is reached or a timing after the reach is reached.

  Further, in the present characteristic part 179SG, an example is shown in which the movable display 179SG300 is operated during the variable display in the high base state to notify that the variable display result is the big hit A or the big hit B. The invention is not limited to this, and when the movable body 179SG300 operates during variable display in the high base state, it may be limited to only when the variable display result is the big hit B. By doing so, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the movable body 179SG300 operates during the variable display of the high base state, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

  Further, in the feature unit 179SG, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, the variation pattern is always determined as the variation pattern of the super reach γ. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display result is a big hit B in the variable display of the 1st to 50th times in the high base state, the variation pattern is changed to the variation pattern of the super reach γ. The variation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, and normal reach may be determined at a rate lower than the determined rate. Furthermore, in the case where the variable display result is the big hit B in the variable display after the 51st time in the high base state, the variation pattern is drawn at a ratio lower than the variation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, and normal reach. A case may be provided in which the variation pattern of super reach γ is determined.

  Further, in the present characteristic part 179SG, the variable display up to the 1st to 50th times, which is the "first period" after the big hit game, and the variable display after the 51st time and the "second period" (51 to 100th or 51st periods). Up to the 150th variable display), the invention is not limited to this, but the invention is not limited to this. The period to be performed may include the “third period” in addition to the “first period” and the “second period”. Regarding the “first period”, “second period”, and “third period”, if the “second period” is a period after the “first period”, the “third period” is “ It may be a period before the “first period”, a period between the “first period” and the “second period”, or a period after the “second period”.

  When the variable display result is the big hit B in the first to the 50th variable display in the high base state, the effect control CPU 120 executes the special reach effect pattern determination process shown in FIG. Since it is possible to execute the all-rotation reach effect as the reach effect, it is possible to improve the interest of the big hit confirmation notification effect in the first to 50th variable display in the high base state.

  In addition, in the feature unit 179SG, when the variable display result is the big hit B in the first to 50th variable display in the high base state, the full rotation reach effect is provided as a part of the big hit confirmation notification effect during the variable display. Although an executable form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a part of the big hit confirmation notification effect, an effect different from the all-rotation reach effect may be executable.

  Further, when the full rotation reach effect is executed during the first to 50th variable display in the high base state, the iridescent effect image is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the operation of the movable body 179SG300 before the full rotation reach effect. Since 179SG005M is displayed, it becomes easy to understand that the jackpot B is controlled to the jackpot gaming state after the variable display, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  In the characteristic part 179SG, the rainbow effect image 179SG005M is displayed on the image display device 5 along with the operation of the movable body 179SG300 during the first to 50th variable display in the high base state. The invention is not limited to this, and if it is easy to understand that the big hit B is controlled to the big hit game state after the variable display, the effects to be executed before the full-reach reach effect are those movable. Effects other than the operation of the body 179SG300 and the display of the rainbow effect image 179SG005M may be used.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the special reach effect with any one of the effect patterns α to γ and also with the effect pattern of the special reach effect. When deciding, since the effect pattern is decided from the excluding the effect pattern executed the last time, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the game entertainment due to the special reach effect being repeatedly executed with the same effect pattern. ..

  In addition, in the characteristic part 179SG, the form in which the effect pattern of the special reach effect can be determined from the three effect patterns from the effect pattern α to the effect pattern γ is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, for example, the effect pattern of the special reach effect may be determined from two or less effect patterns, or may be determined from four or more effect patterns.

  Further, in the present feature unit 179SG, with respect to the effect pattern of the special reach effect once determined to be executed, an example is shown in which the special reach effect is executed in another effect pattern to be a determination target of the special reach effect again. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for the special reach effect once determined to be executed, until a predetermined period elapses (until a predetermined number of variable displays are executed or a predetermined time elapses). It may be impossible to determine again as a production pattern for the special reach production. Furthermore, for the special reach effect that has been decided to be executed once, until the gaming state is controlled to the low-probability low-base state, or until the power stage is generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (until the power is turned off) The reach production pattern may not be determined again.

  In addition, in the case of determining the effect pattern of the special reach effect, the present feature unit 179SG determines by the effect pattern lottery from among the excluding the effect patterns of the previous time, so that the special reach effect is continuously performed in the specific effect pattern. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, by determining an effect pattern for each execution number of special reach effects in advance, The reach effect may be prevented from being continuously executed in a specific effect pattern.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the first high base state rush effect and the second high base state rush effect as the ending effect after the big hit game. In particular, after the big hit B big hit game, after displaying the variable display count "100 times" which is controlled to the high base state by the image display device 5 by executing the first high base state plunge effect, 2 By moving the movable body 179SG300 as a high base state rush effect, and switching the display of "100 times", which is the variable display count controlled to the high base state, to the display of "150 times", a jackpot gaming state is achieved. It is possible to prevent the gambling property from being excessively increased by shortening the controlled interval.

  In the feature section 179SG, after the big hit game of the big hit A, only the first high base state rush effect is executed, and after the big hit game of the big hit B, the second high base state after the rush effect. Although a form for performing the rush effect is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the big hit game of the big hit B, a part of the effect mode is different from the first high base state rush effect. The second high base state rush effect may be executed after executing.

  Further, in the characteristic portion 179SG, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 (B) and 8-44 (F), after the movable body 179SG300 operates as the second high base state rush effect, control is performed to the high base state. Although the variable display count "100 times" is updated to "150 times" over a predetermined period, the present invention is not limited to this. The variable display count "100 times" controlled to the high base state is directly displayed "150 times" without performing the update display for the predetermined period after the movable body 179SG300 is operated as the second high base state rush effect. The display may be updated to.

  As shown in FIGS. 8-44 (D) to 8-44 (F), the display of “100 times” displayed on the image display device 5 is “150 times” as the second high base state rush effect. It is possible to emphasize to the player that it is controlled to a highly accurate and high base state over a maximum of 150 times of variable display by being updated to the display of "." It is possible to mitigate a decrease in the entertainment level caused by the effect period being longer than the first high base state rush effect.

  In addition, the display of "100 times" which is the variable display count controlled to the high base state in the image display device 5 is updated to "150 times" display as the movable body 179SG300 operates, so that the maximum display count is 150 times. Since it is possible to further emphasize to the player that the high accurate high base state is controlled over the variable display, the second high base state rush effect has a longer effect period than the first high base state rush effect. It is possible to further alleviate the deterioration in the enjoyment of the game caused by a long time.

  In the characteristic unit 179SG, the display of "100 times" which is the variable display count controlled to the high base state in the image display device 5 is updated to the display of "150 times" along with the operation of the movable body 179SG300. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display of “100 times”, which is the variable display count controlled to the high base state, replaces the operation of the movable body 179SG300 with the speaker 8L, The display may be updated to "150 times" along with the sound output from 8R and the emission of the game effect lamp 9.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention is applicable even if there are changes and additions within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. include.

  For example, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-30 (D), when the timer effect is executed as the front variable display suggestive effect, the front variable display during suggestion effect is performed. The big hit expectation is set higher than when the character effect is executed, and the suggestion effect is set as the rear variable display suggestive effect at a higher rate than when the character effect is executed as the front variable display suggestive effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 8-47 as a modified example 179SG-1, execution of a timer effect is performed as a suggestion effect during front variable display. Is set to be lower than the rate of determining execution of the character effect as a front variable display suggestive effect, and the front variable display suggestive effect is set. When the timer effect is executed, the setting suggestion effect may be set to be executed as the rear variable display suggestion effect at a higher rate than when the character effect is executed as the front variable display suggestion effect. ..

  Further, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the above-described embodiment, as a pre-reading notice, the pending storage display in the first pending storage display area 179SG005D and the second pending storage display area 179SG005U of the image display device 5 is a white square, a star, or a blue color. Although the form in which the hold display notice effect displayed in the form of a red or red camera can be executed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a modified example 179SG-2 is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 8-48 (B), when the hold storage display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 179SG005D or the second hold storage display area 179SG005U, the first hold storage display area 179SG005D in the image display device 5 is displayed. And a predetermined effect image 179SG005E overlaps the second reserved storage display area 179SG005U. In this case, at least the hold storage display in the blue or red camera mode is displayed with priority over the effect image 179SG005E (the hold storage display in the blue or red camera mode is displayed so as not to be hidden by the effect image 179SG005E. ). By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the pending storage display of the blue or red camera mode because the pending storage display of the blue or red camera mode is blocked by the effect image 179SG005E. be able to.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the setting suggestion effect can be executed for 7 seconds is illustrated only during the variable display of the super reach, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a modification 179SG-3, as shown in FIGS. 8-49 (A) and 8-49 (B), setting suggestive effect can be executed for 7 seconds during variable display of normal reach and non-reach without shortening. Good. Further, during the variable display of the shortened non-reach, it is the special figure variation time of the variable display of the shortened non-reach (eg, as shown in FIG. 8-49 (C)). The setting suggestion effect may be executed for 3 seconds shorter than 3.75 seconds to 5.75 seconds).

  Further, in the characteristic unit 179SG of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), the case where the hold storage display is displayed in the form of the blue camera and the form of the red camera as the hold display notice effect. The example in which the execution ratio of the setting suggestion effect is different from that in the case of being displayed in is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 179SG-4, a mode in which the pending storage display is a blue camera The determination rate of at least one effect pattern in the setting suggestion effect may be different depending on whether it is displayed in or in the mode of the red camera. By doing so, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the blue camera mode and the red camera mode the hold storage display is displayed as the hold display notice effect, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-described embodiment, two timings (25 seconds and 30 seconds after the start of variable display) are provided as the start timings of the rear variable display suggestive effect during the variable display of the super reach, and Although the form in which the setting suggestion effect is easily executed as the rear variable display suggestion effect is illustrated by executing the rear variable display suggestion effect from the timing, the present invention is not limited to this and the modification 179SG-. 5, when the start timing of the setting suggestive effect is 30 seconds after the start of the variable display, the setting suggestive effect is patterned at a higher rate than when the start timing of the setting suggestive effect is 25 seconds after the start of the variable display. You may perform with the production pattern which suggests high setting values, such as SS-3 to pattern SS-5. By doing so, the player can be made to pay attention to the timing at which the setting suggestion effect is executed, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the embodiment, the setting suggestion effect is executed according to the effect executed as the front variable display in-time suggestion effect and the display mode of the hold memory display displayed as the hold display notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an effect executed as a front variable display during suggestion effect and a pending display notice effect are displayed. Whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed may be suggested only by one of the display mode of the hold storage display. Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the setting suggestion effect can be executed as the rear part variable display suggestion effect during the variable display in which the timer effect is executed as the front part variable display suggestion effect has been exemplified. The present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display result of the variable display for executing the timer effect is a big hit, the setting suggestion effect during the big hit game (the advantageous state of the present invention) based on the variable display. May be executed.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-mentioned embodiment, when the hold display notice effect is already executed, the form in which the execution of the new hold display notice effect is restricted is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. However, when the hold display notice effect is already executed, only the execution of some display patterns of the new hold display notice effect may be restricted. For example, when the hold display notice effect is already executed in the display pattern γ or the display pattern δ (when the hold memory display is displayed in a blue or red camera mode), a new hold display notice effect is generated. Only the execution of the display pattern α or the display pattern β (the display of the pending storage is displayed as a white square or a star) is limited. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming difficult to understand due to simultaneous execution of a plurality of pending display notice effects with different suggested contents. Further, in this way, when the hold display notice effect is already executed with the display pattern γ or the display pattern δ, it is limited to execute the new hold display notice effect with the display pattern α or the display pattern β. Thus, the player can be made to pay more attention to whether or not the setting suggestion effect is executed. In addition, when the pending display notice effect is already executed in the display pattern α or the display pattern β (when the pending storage display is displayed in a white square or a star), a new pending display notice effect is generated. Whether or not the variable display result is a big hit by limiting only what is executed with the display pattern γ or the display pattern δ (the hold storage display is displayed in the form of a blue or red camera) It is possible to make the player pay more attention.

  In the characteristic part 179SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the hold display notice effect can be executed as the prefetch effect in the present invention is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the prefetch effect is not limited thereto. As for, as long as it is an effect that can be executed from the timing before the target variable display is started, an effect other than the hold display notice effect may be executable.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-described embodiment, the form in which the character effect and the timer effect can be executed as the front variable display in-progress suggesting effect that suggests that the variable display result is a big hit is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and the front variable display suggestion effect may be an effect other than the character effect and the timer effect as long as the effect suggests that the variable display result is a big hit.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-mentioned embodiment, after displaying "100 times" which is the variable display count controlled to the high base state in the image display device 5 as the first high base state entry effect, the second high base state is displayed. As the base normal rush effect, the form in which the display of “100 times” is updated and displayed to “150 times” has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first modification is provided as the modification 179SG-6. As the high base state rush effect, after displaying the variable display count controlled in the high base state on the image display device 5 as "0 times" which is the initial display, the display of "0 times" is changed to "100 times". The display may be updated and displayed. In this case, as the second high base state rush effect, the update speed for updating the display of “100 times” to “150 times” is updated to the display of “0 times” described above to “100 times”. By making it slower than the update speed, it is possible to further emphasize that the high-precision high-base state is controlled over a maximum of 150 times of variable display, so the second high-base state rush effect is the first high-base state. It is possible to further reduce the deterioration of the amusement of the game caused by the production period being longer than the state rush production.

  Further, in the characteristic part 179SG of the above-described embodiment, the operation of the movable body 179SG300 and the display of the ground color effect image 179SG005K on the image display device 5 and the big hit are shown as the big hit confirmation notification effect that can be executed during the variable display. Although the stop display of the decorative pattern in the combination and the form in which the execution is possible are illustrated, the big hit confirmation notification effect that can be executed during the variable display may be a combination of effects other than these, or the big hit. The confirmation notification effect may simply be a stop display of the decorative pattern in a combination indicating a big hit.

  Further, in the characteristic portion 179SG of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-38 and 8-39, after the big hit game of the big hit A, only the first high base state rush effect is based on one process data. After the big hit game of the big hit B is finished, the first high base state rush effect and the second high base state rush effect are executed based on one process data, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and after the big hit game of the big hit B, the first high base state rush effect and the second high base state rush effect may be executed based on different process data. By doing so, the first high base state rush effect can be executed based on the common process data after the big hit game of the big hit A and after the big hit game of the big hit B, so that the data capacity of the ROM 121 Can be saved.
