Abstract

To prevent interest in a game from decreasing by appropriate notification.SOLUTION: After completion of a jackpot, time-shortening control is guaranteed until completion of 100 special pattern games. A losing lottery is held when probability variable control is performed after a jackpot game, and the probability variable control is completed in the event of winning. When a losing lottery is not won by completion of 100 special pattern games after completion of a jackpot, probability variable control and time-shortening control are continued unless a losing lottery is won or until a next jackpot game state is started. When a losing lottery is won in accordance with the 101st special pattern game or thereafter after completion of a jackpot, time-shortening control is completed along with probability variable control and control is performed to a normal state. A probability of success of a trial performance becomes higher than that of a battle win in a ready-to-win performance of an SP ready-to win A, and a probability of winning a battle in a ready-to-win performance of an SP ready-to-win B becomes higher than that of success of a trial performance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 22-17

Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can be controlled in an advantageous state advantageous to a player.

Some gaming machines, such as pachinko gaming machines, differ depending on whether it is difficult for the player to recognize or whether the player can be informed of the presence or absence of a fall at which the probability variation control ends, depending on a specific period. For example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2017-1113211, A

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, even if the probability variation control is continued, advantageous notification is not given to the player, so there is a possibility that the interest of the game may be reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing a decrease in amusement of a game by appropriate notification.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine (such as a pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled in an advantageous state advantageous to a player (such as a jackpot gaming state), A first special state that is more advantageous than the normal state (for example, a probable variation state or a highly precise state) and a second special state that is more advantageous than the normal state and different from the first special state (for example, a time saving state or a high base state). State control means (for example, the CPU 103 of the game control microcomputer 100) and state determination means for determining whether or not to end the first special state (for example, a falling lottery in step S1102). CPU 103 to be executed) and an effect execution means (eg, reach effect or trial effect of SP reach A or SP reach B) that notifies the player whether or not the content is advantageous to the player based on the effect result (eg, effect effector). And the effect control CPU 120, etc.), the state control means, if it is determined to end the first special state within a predetermined period, ends the second special state after the end of the predetermined period. (For example, the CPU 103 that sets the time saving flag to OFF in steps S1134 and S1135), if it is not determined to end the first special state within the predetermined period, the first Until the special state is determined to be terminated, the first special state and the second special state are controlled (for example, the CPU 103 that sets the time saving flag to OFF in step S1106), and the effect execution means sets the predetermined period. It is possible to execute a first specific effect (for example, reach effect of SP reach A) during a corresponding first effect period (for example, first battle period), and a second effect period corresponding to the end of the predetermined period ( For example, it is possible to execute a second specific effect (for example, a trial effect) in a period corresponding to the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th, and the first special state and It is possible to execute the third specific effect (for example, reach effect of SP reach B) during the third effect period (for example, the second battle period) until the second special state ends, and it is possible to execute the third specific effect. The second specific effect has a higher ratio of the effect result of the content advantageous to the player, and the third specific effect is more advantageous to the player than the second specific effect. High percentage of results (For example, when the probability of jackpot is 1/150 and the probability of falling in probability of change is 1/350, like determining the variation pattern by any of 81AKT11, 81AKT12, 81AKT21, 81AKT22, 81AKT32, 81AKT33) The specific effect can be executed.
According to such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify and prevent a decrease in the enjoyment of the game.

(2) In the gaming machine of (1) above, the effect execution means starts the third effect period with information about the degree of expectation that the third specific effect is an effect result of contents advantageous to the player. The notification may be possible in response to the start of the second battle period in step 80AKS19) (for example, the expectation level information may be notified in step 80AKS18).
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the enjoyment of the game by appropriate notification.

(3) In the gaming machine of (1) or (2) above, the effect execution means, as the second specific effect, an effect of notifying whether or not the third effect period is started (for example, effect example 80AKD11). ˜80 AKD17 trial production, etc.) may be executable.
With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by further notification.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (3), the effect execution means specifies in accordance with information regarding the degree of expectation that the third specific effect is an effect result having contents advantageous to the player. An image (for example, an effect image of the telop display in the effect example 80AKD24) may be continuously displayable within the third effect period.
In such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the entertainment level of the game by an appropriate notification that is easily recognized by the player.

(5) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (4), a holding storage unit (for example, holding determination result storage unit 80AKM01) capable of storing information regarding variable display as holding information is provided, and the effect execution unit is provided. In response to the start of the third effect period, when the specific hold information regarding the variable display in the advantageous state is stored as the hold information stored in the hold storage means, the third specific effect is a game. As information about the degree of expectation that is an effect result of contents advantageous to the player, it is notified that the third specific effect is an effect result of contents advantageous to the player (for example, notification in the trial winning effect by the variation pattern 80PB2-3). Etc.)
In such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the enjoyment of the game by appropriate notification with increased attention.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (5) above, the ratio of variable display of a shorter time is higher in the third effect period than in the first effect period. Alternatively, variable display (for example, variable display based on a variation pattern determined by one of the tables 81AKT11 and 81AKT31) may be executable.
In such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game by promoting the game together with appropriate notification.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6) above, a determining means (for example, a CPU 103 that executes a jackpot lottery in steps S1107 and S1108) that determines whether or not to control the advantageous state is provided. When the determination means determines to control to the advantageous state while controlling to the normal state, the state control means controls to the first special state after the end of the advantageous state and After the end of the state, it is possible to control the second special state in the first period (for example, 1, 9 and 18 times of shortening time) (for example, referring to FIG. 8, the big hits A, B and C without the shortening control). Etc.), when the determining means determines to control to the advantageous state while controlling to the second special state, the control is performed to the first special state after the end of the advantageous state, and After the end, it is possible to control to the second special state in a second period longer than the first period (for example, 100 times in short time) (for example, referring to FIG. 8, a big hit D when there is time saving control), When the state determination means determines to end the first special state while controlling the first special state and the second special state, it is possible to control the normal state with the start of variable display. (For example, the CPU 103 that executes the falling lottery in step S1102), the effect execution means, the state determination means ends the first special state when being controlled to the first special state and the second special state. When it is determined that the control means is controlled to the advantageous state and the determination means is controlled (for example, when the falling lottery is a big hit and the like), it is possible to specify that the control is in the normal state (for example, It may be possible to execute a notification effect (for example, a special effect by the variation pattern PB1-1) that notifies that the advantageous state is controlled after executing the background effect.
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the notification accompanying the appropriate performance.

(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (which is also the configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Structure of pachinko gaming machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1, showing an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 that supports and fixes the gaming board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot into the game area by being shot from a predetermined hitting ball launching device.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the right side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1), a variable display (also called a special drawing game) of special symbols (also called a special drawing) as a plurality of types of special identification information is provided. 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. Note that 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 symbol" or "special symbol 1", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are "second symbol". It is also called "special map" or "special map 2". 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". The special symbol display device that performs variable display of the special symbol may be one type.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may include a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special drawing game and the second special drawing game, a decorative pattern as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special pattern (a pattern showing numbers or the like) Variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special drawing game or the second special drawing game, the decorative pattern is variably displayed (for example, up and down) in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Direction scroll display and update display). Note that the special figure game and the variable display of the decorative pattern that are executed in synchronization are collectively referred to as simply variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying a pending display corresponding to a variable display whose execution is suspended and an active display corresponding to a variable display being executed. The hold display and the active display are collectively referred to as a variable display corresponding display corresponding to the variable display.

The number of variable displays that are held is also called the number of held storages. The number of reserved memories corresponding to the first special figure game is also called a first reserved memory number, and the number of reserved memories corresponding to the second special figure game is also called a second reserved memory number. In addition, the total of the first pending storage number and the second pending storage number is also referred to as the total pending storage number.

In addition, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B, which are configured to include a plurality of LEDs, are provided, and the first hold indicator 25A indicates the number of LEDs to be lit. The first pending storage number is displayed by, and the second pending display unit 25B displays the second pending storage number according to the number of lit LEDs.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning hole which is always kept in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. When the game balls enter the first start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls can be paid out and the first special figure game can be started.

The variable winning a prize ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip type accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, the movable wing pieces are in the vertical position, so that the tips of the movable wing pieces are provided. Is close to the winning ball device 6A, and is in a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in the open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening by the movable wing piece being in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is in the on state (second starting). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When the game balls enter the second starting winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls can be paid out and the second special figure game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to the device including the electric tulip type accessory as long as it can be changed between the closed state and the open state.

At predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four places on the left and right lower sides of the game area), there are provided general winning openings 10 which are always kept open by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when one of the general winning openings 10 is entered, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a big winning opening is provided below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a special winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening door is a special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door (for special electric auditors) is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the big winning opening, and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning hole. On the other hand, in the special variable winning a prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is in the ON state, the special winning opening door opens the special winning opening, and the game ball easily enters the special winning opening. Become.

When a game ball enters the special winning opening, a predetermined number (eg, 14) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball. When a game ball enters the big winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when the game ball enters the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the general winning opening 10, for example.

The entry of a game ball into each prize hole including the general prize hole 10 is also referred to as a "prize". In particular, winning at the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening) is also called a starting winning.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1), a normal symbol display device 20 is provided. As an example, the normal symbol display device 20 includes a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs a variable display of a normal symbol as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from the special symbol. Ordinary symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of ordinary symbols is also called a universal symbol game.

On the left side of the image display device 5, a passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided. The universal figure game is executed based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41.

Above the normal symbol display device 20, a universal symbol holding display device 25C is provided. The universal figure pending display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of stored universal figure pending memories, which is the number of universal figure pending games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

In addition to the above configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill and a large number of obstacle nails that change the flow direction and speed of the game ball. At the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an outlet for taking in the game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at upper left and right positions of the game machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 for game effect is provided in the periphery of the game area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 is configured to include an LED.

At a predetermined position (not shown in FIG. 1) of the game board 2, a movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a hit ball operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to shoot a game ball toward a game area by a hit ball launching device.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, a gaming ball paid out as a prize ball or a gaming ball rented out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball striking device. ) Is provided with a hit ball supply plate (upper plate). Below the upper plate, there is provided a hit ball supply plate (lower plate) from which prize balls are paid out when the upper plate is full.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, a stick controller 31A that can be held by a player and tilted is attached. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, there is provided a push button 31B that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the action (operation etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of game progression)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the player's rotating operation of the hit ball operation handle 30 included in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal figure game by the normal symbol display device 20 is started. 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 (normal symbol lost symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "normal symbol lost". 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 given, and the jackpot 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". In addition, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the symbol is "missing".

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 special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is one of the elapse timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the special winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It continues until the earlier of the two. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the special winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also referred to as an open upper limit period hereinafter. In this way, one cycle in which the special winning opening is opened is called a round (round game). In the big hit game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

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 enlivening 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, with the reach mode, when the decorative design stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination described later, the decorative design which is not yet stopped and displayed is variably displayed. 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 a display result of the variable display of the decorative design 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 the 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 figure game is "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit game state in the same mode as the 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 drawing game is “miss”, 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 lost") may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "non-reach lost"). Further, when the display result is "miss", 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 miss"). (Also referred to as) fixed display may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative design is "reach lost").

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.

On the effect control board 12, an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control section 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I/O 125 are mounted.

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 the power supply board, for example. 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 flags, counters, and buffers 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.

If 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 pachinko gaming machine 1 stops operating 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 processing includes processing for adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and 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). Along 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. These commands can use the same commands as the commands set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later. When the production control CPU 120 receives the production control command that specifies the time of recovery from power failure, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that recovery from power failure has been performed or is being recovered from power failure. 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). ). Then, 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 periodically 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, and thereby the gate switch 21, the first starting port switch 22A, and the second starting port 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, starting information (starting) Data such as information indicating the number of winnings and the like, probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability has changed, etc.) 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 processing for each timer interrupt, whereby the execution and suspension of the special symbol game, the control of the big hit game state and the small hit game state, the control of the game state, etc. are realized. See below).

Following the special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process is executed (step S26). CPU103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41) execution and hold management, It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "universal figure hit". The ordinary figure game is executed by driving the ordinary symbol display device 20, and the number of ordinary figure reservations is displayed by turning on the ordinary figure hold indicator 25C.

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 hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the number of held 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 pending 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 step 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 each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, a transmission setting for transmitting a production control command corresponding to each process to the production 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 or not 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 process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set corresponding to 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 decisions based on the random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values that are compared with random number values are assigned to decision results) 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". When the display result is "miss", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "Small hit" or "Loss", when the game is controlled to the time saving state or the probability changing state, and when the cut-out is completed, the game state is also updated. 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 big hit opening preprocessing includes processing for starting the execution of the round in the big hit game state and setting the big winning opening in the open state based on that the display result is "big hit" 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 upper limit opening period for opening the special winning opening and an upper limit number of executions 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. 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". After 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 after opening the big winning opening and the timing of returning 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. The reception flag provided is turned on. When the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a 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 of 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 processing, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (fixed decorative pattern), the variable display mode of the decorative pattern, 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. Then, 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 is ended. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start the variable display of the decorative pattern in response to the instruction to start the variable display of the decorative pattern.

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. When a 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 designates 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 is not received without receiving the command 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 “miss”. Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0” which is the initial value. When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure hit waiting process ends.

The effect process during small hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect 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 process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to end the small winning game state, the value of the production process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small winning finish production. 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 process flag is "5". In the small hitting end effect processing, 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 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. Is updated to ", and the effect process during the big hit ends.

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.

(Explanation regarding the characteristic part SKY692 of the present invention)
Next, the characteristic portion SKY692 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the probability variation state indicates a state where the probability variation control is performed in addition to the time reduction control, the time reduction state indicates a state where the probability variation control is not performed but the time variation control is performed, and the latent state is , The state in which the probability variation control is performed, but the time saving control is not performed, and the normal state indicates the state in which neither the time reduction control nor the probability variation control is performed. In addition, in the following description, the number of executions of the special figure game may be referred to as “the number of fluctuations”. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the special variation game (variable display) is started during the probability variation control, the falling lottery for determining whether or not to end the probability variation control is executed, and the falling lottery is won. Then, the probability variation control ends.

(Type of jackpot)
First, with reference to FIG. 8, a jackpot type of an embodiment relating to the characteristic portion SKY692 will be described. FIG. 8: is a figure which shows an example of the jackpot type of this embodiment.

In the embodiment relating to the characteristic portion SKY692, the big hits A to D are provided as a plurality of big hit types, and when the big hit is won as a result of the special figure game when the time saving control is performed, or when the time saving control is not performed. As a result of the special figure game, one of the jackpot types is selected at different rates depending on whether or not the jackpot is won. Specifically, in the present embodiment, regardless of the distinction between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, when the time saving control is not performed, the proportion (decision rate) of winning the big hit A as a result of the special figure game is 60%. It is set, the jackpot B win percentage (decision percentage) is set to 31%, the jackpot C win percentage (decision percentage) is set to 3%, the jackpot D win percentage (decision percentage) is 6% Is set to. On the other hand, regardless of the distinction between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, when the time saving control is performed, the proportion (decision rate) of winning the jackpot D as a result of the special figure game is set to 100%.

In the embodiment relating to the characteristic portion SKY692, whichever of the big hits A to D is won, the probability variation control is performed after the jackpot gaming state is ended, but the probability variation control is ended by winning the falling lottery. In addition, regardless of which one of the big hits A to D is won, the time saving control is performed after the big hit game state ends, but the time saving control is performed according to which kind of big hit it is. (Time saving time) is different. Specifically, in the big hit A, even if you win the falling lottery, the time saving control is guaranteed until one special figure game after the big hit game is finished, and in the big hit B, the special figure of 9 times is given after the big hit game. Until the game ends, even if you win the falling lottery, the time saving control is guaranteed, and in the big hit C, even if you win the falling lottery, you can guarantee the time saving control until the special game of 18 times after the big hit game ends. To be done. Therefore, assuming that the guaranteed number of times saved regardless of whether or not the player wins the falling lottery is the guaranteed number of times saved (N), N=1 is set for the big hit A and N=9 is set for the big hit B. , Jackpot C is set to N=18. However, in the jackpots A to C, even if the special drawing game with the guaranteed time saving number (N) has not been won before the special drawing game with the guaranteed number of times saved is completed, the time saving control ends when the special drawing game with the guaranteed time saving number (N) ends. To do. Therefore, in the big hits A to C, after the special hit game of each guaranteed time count (N) is finished after the big hit game, it may already be won in the falling lottery, so it is controlled in the latent state or the normal state. Will be. In this way, after the big hit game of big hits A to C, it may be controlled in the latent state, and when it is controlled in the latent state, it is controlled in the normal state by winning the falling lottery. Sometimes. Therefore, after the big hit game of the big hits A to C, the player may be expected to be in the latent state by executing an effect that suggests the possibility of the latent state.

On the other hand, in the big hit D, even if the special drawing game is completed 100 times after the big hit game, the time saving control is guaranteed even if the special drawing game is won and the special drawing game is completed 100 times. When not winning, the time saving control is continued until the falling lottery is won or the next big hit game state is started. Therefore, in the jackpot D, the guaranteed number of time saving (N)=100 is set, and when the number of saved hours is set to be the maximum number of saved hours (L) on condition that the winning lottery is not won, the jackpot when to win the falling lottery Since it is not known whether the game state is started, L=9999 is set as an example of a sufficiently large value. On the other hand, in the case of the jackpots A to C, as described above, even if the player does not win the falling lottery by the end of the special figure game of the guaranteed time saving number (N), the special figure of the guaranteed time saving number (N) is given. When the game ends, the time saving control ends, so the maximum value of the time saving (L) is set to the same value as the guaranteed time saving (N). In the jackpot D, when the time saving control is completed in 100 special drawing games, since the player has already won the falling lottery, it will be controlled in the normal state thereafter, and in the special drawing game 101 times and thereafter. Even when the time saving control is completed by winning the falling lottery, since the falling lottery is won, the control is thereafter performed in the normal state. However, when winning the falling lottery in the special drawing game after the 101st time and winning the big hit, the big hit game state is controlled, but in the present embodiment, the effect related to the big hit notification at that time is characteristic. The details will be described later.

As described above, in the big hits A, B, and C, the number of times saved and shortened is 1, 9, and 18 times, respectively, and in the big hit D, the number of times saved and saved is 100+α (α indicates whether to win the fall lottery or the next time). It means until the jackpot game is started). As described above, in the big hits A to D, all of them are subjected to the positive change control after the big hit game, but the degree of advantage is different because the number of time saving is different. That is, from the viewpoint of the number of times saved and shortened, the big hits D, the big hits C, the big hits B, and the big hits A are listed in descending order of the degree of advantage. And, when the time saving is not controlled, the proportion of winning the big jackpot D with a high degree of advantage is extremely low (6%), whereas when the time saving is controlled, the proportion of winning the jackpot D with a high degree of advantage is extremely high. High (100%). In other words, in the present embodiment, the big hit when the time reduction control is performed is higher than the big hit when the time reduction control is not performed. Therefore, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the time saving control is not performed (normal state or latent state), the jackpot A to the jackpot C has a high proportion of winning (94%). When the time saving control is performed in one period (one time, nine times, eighteen times), the big hit is won again (that is, the big hit D is won), so that the second period longer than the first period (100+α times). ) Has a game playability that is controlled in a short time (shifts to a more advantageous state).

In the present embodiment, the number of rounds is not mentioned in the big hits A to D. However, the same number of rounds may be set, and the number of rounds is large depending on the advantage of the time saving. The jackpot D, the jackpot C, the jackpot B, and the jackpot A may be sequentially arranged. Further, each jackpot may be further subdivided so as to include a different number of rounds. For example, the jackpot A includes a jackpot A1 with three rounds and a jackpot A2 with five rounds, and the jackpot D includes a jackpot D1 with six rounds and a round with nine rounds. May be subdivided, such as including the big hit D2 and. Further, in the present embodiment, the big hit type (big hit D) when the time saving is controlled is included in the big hit type when the time saving is not controlled, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, when the big hit is made during the time saving control, the degree of advantage may be higher than that when the big hit is made when the time saving control is not performed. ) May be another jackpot type that is not included in the jackpot types that can be won when the time is not controlled. Further, in the present embodiment, any of the big hits A to D is determined at the determination rate shown in FIG. 8 regardless of the distinction between special figure 1 and special figure 2, but special figure 1 and special figure 2 One of the big hits A to D may be decided at different decision ratios depending on, and, for example, the special figure 2 is set to have a higher decision rate of the big hit D than the special figure 1, and the special figure 2 is decided. The advantage degree may be higher than that of the special figure 1. Further, different special jackpot types may be prepared for the special figures 1 and 2, and the special figures 1 and 2 may have different degrees of advantage.

[Processing by main board 11]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12, for an example of the processing executed by the main board 11 in relation to the falling lottery, which is the feature of the embodiment regarding the characteristic portion SKY692, and the setting of the number of times of shortening according to the type of jackpot, etc. And explain. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the big hit ending process, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol normal process, FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol stop processing.

In the big hit ending process shown in FIG. 9 (step S117 in FIG. 5), the CPU 103 of the main board 11 sets the guaranteed short working time (N) and the maximum saved time (L) in the RAM 102 according to the big hit type (step S1171). . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 103 sets N=1 and L=1 for the big hit A, sets N=9 and L=9 for the big hit B, and sets the big hit C At times, N=18 and L=18 are set, and at the time of jackpot D, N=100 and L=9999 are set.

Next, the CPU 103 sets the probability variation flag provided in the RAM 102 to ON and the time saving flag to ON (step S1172). The probability variation flag is a flag that indicates that the probability variation control is performed when set to ON, and the time saving flag is a flag that indicates that the time variation control is performed when set to ON. As a result, when the big hit game state ends, the probability variation control is performed in addition to the time saving control (that is, the probability variation state is controlled).

In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 10 (step S110 in FIG. 5), the CPU 103 of the main board 11 determines whether the probability variation flag is set to ON (step S1101). When the probability variation flag is set to ON (when the probability variation control is performed), the CPU 103 executes the falling lottery (step S1102), and when the probability variation flag is not set to ON (when the probability variation control is not performed. ), CPU103 performs the big hit lottery in a low probability state (step S1107). In the falling lottery, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the falling lottery has been won at a predetermined rate (for example, with a probability of 1/100) based on the random number value for falling lottery (step S1103), and wins the falling lottery. In this case, the probability variation control is ended by setting the probability variation flag to OFF (step S1104), and if the falling lottery is not won, the jackpot lottery is executed in the highly accurate state (step S1108).

In addition, when the falling lottery is won, the CPU 103, after the processing of step S1104, has the time saving flag ON (is under time saving control) and the number of fluctuations after the big hit (the number of executions of the special figure game) is It is determined whether or not the guaranteed time count (N) set in the RAM 102 is exceeded (step S1105).

When the time saving flag is ON and the number of fluctuations after the big hit exceeds N, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag to OFF and resets the time saving guaranteed number (N) and the maximum time saving number (L). At the same time, the falling end flag is set to ON (step S1106), and then the big hit lottery is executed in a low probability state (step S1107). The falling time end flag is a flag indicating that the time saving control is ended by winning the falling lottery when the time saving control is set to ON, and is referred to in a variation pattern setting process described later. Flag.

On the other hand, when the time saving flag is not ON or the number of fluctuations after the big hit does not exceed N, the CPU 103 executes the big hit lottery in a low probability state (step S1107). By the way, as will be apparent from the description below, by executing the process of step S1106, the end flag at the time of falling is turned on, the big jackpot D is won and the number of fluctuations after the big hit game exceeds 100. Only when Specifically, in the big hits A, B, and C, when the number of fluctuations after the big hit game exceeds the guaranteed short time count (N), the guaranteed short time count (N) and the maximum saved time count (L) are reached. Therefore (because N=L), the time saving flag is controlled to be OFF in the process of step S1135 by determining Y in the process of step S1133 of FIG. 12 to be described later or Y in the process of S1134. Has been done. Therefore, the time saving flag is ON, and the number of fluctuations after the big hit does not exceed N (Y does not become Y in step S1105). On the other hand, in the big hit D, even if the number of fluctuations after the big hit game exceeds the guaranteed number of time saving (N), the maximum number of time saving (L) is not reached (since L is set to an extremely large number), There is a case where the process of step S1135 is not executed and the time saving flag is not controlled to OFF because the determination of Y is not made in the process of step S1133 of FIG. 12 described later. Therefore, the time saving flag is ON, and the number of fluctuations after the big hit may exceed N (may be Y in step S1105).

In the low-probability jackpot lottery in step S1107, is the CPU 103 determined to be a “big jackpot” at a predetermined low-probability ratio (for example, with a probability of 1/100) based on a random number value for determining a display result. Decide whether or not. Since the low-probability state includes the normal state and the time saving state, when the “big hit” is determined, as shown in FIG. 8, in the normal state (without time saving control; time saving flag OFF), Any of the big hit types of big hits A to D is determined, and in the time saving state (with time saving control; time saving flag ON), the big hit D is determined. Therefore, for example, when the process of step S1107 is executed after the time saving flag is set to OFF in the process of step S1106, the big hit lottery in the normal state is executed, and thus the “big hit” is determined. Even so, the percentage of winning the jackpot D is low (6%).

In addition, in the jackpot lottery in the highly accurate state of step S1108, is the CPU 103 determined to be a “big jackpot” at a predetermined ratio for highly accurate (for example, with a probability of 1/50) based on a random number value for determining a display result. Decide whether or not. Since the high-accuracy state includes the probability variation state and the latent state, when the “big hit” is determined, as shown in FIG. 8, when the latent state (no time saving control; time saving flag OFF), The big hit type of any of the big hits A to D is determined, and when the probability variation state (with time saving control; time saving flag ON), the big hit D is determined.

In the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S111 in FIG. 5) shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 103 of the main board 11 determines whether or not the falling end flag is set to ON (step S1111). Here, the falling end flag is set to ON when, as described above, the jackpot D is won and the number of fluctuations after the jackpot game exceeds 100 times, and when the time saving control is performed. It is when the time saving control ends by winning the falling lottery. Therefore, in the process of step S1111, it is possible to determine whether or not the player has won the big hit D and has won the falling lottery when the number of fluctuations after the big hit game is over 100 times and the time saving is controlled.

When the falling end flag is ON (that is, when the time saving control ends by winning the falling lottery), the CPU 103 determines whether or not it has been determined to be a "big hit" in the big hit lottery in the special symbol normal process. If it is determined to be a big hit, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit D (step S1113), and if it is a big hit D, a change pattern of special effect is set as a change pattern (step S1112). S1114). On the other hand, when it is a big hit but not a big hit D, a change pattern of special effect is set as a change pattern (step S1115), and when it is not determined to be a big hit (in the case of a big hit), a change pattern of the falling effect Is determined (step S1116).

By the way, when it is determined as "big hit" in the big hit lottery in step S1112, it is decided as "big hit" after winning the falling lottery and finishing the time saving control (see steps S1106 and S1107 in FIG. 10). As a result, the "big hit" is obtained as a result of the big hit lottery in the normal state. For this reason, the percentage of winning the big hit D is small (6%), which is less advantageous than the big hit (the percentage of the big hit D is 100%) when the time saving state is controlled (the number of times saving is small). It will be. On the other hand, the player does not know that he has won the big hit lottery after winning the falling lottery, so he recognizes that he has hit big when he is in the time saving state, and wins big hit D 100+α times. There is a risk that it will be recognized that it is possible to obtain a shorter number of times. Then, if it is recognized in this way, in reality, for example, there is a high probability that the jackpot which is not the jackpot D is won (94%), and therefore, the number of shorter working hours is less than 100+α. This may give the player a feeling of distrust and reduce the interest. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the falling lottery is won and the jackpot lottery is won in this way, a dedicated variation pattern (variation pattern of special effect of step S1114, variation pattern of special effect of step S1115) By setting, it is possible to realize an effect that does not give the player a feeling of distrust. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot lottery is won after the falling lottery is won (that is, in the normal state) and the jackpot D (6%) having a very small winning percentage is won, the special effect is produced. By setting the variation pattern of, not only does the player not feel distrustful, but also it is possible to realize the effect of notifying that the rare big hit is won.

After setting the variation pattern in each processing of steps S1114 to S1116, the CPU 103 sets the falling end flag to OFF (step S1117). In addition, the variation pattern of the special effect, the variation pattern of the special effect, and the variation pattern of the falling effect, which are set in the respective processes of steps S1114 to S1116, are the variation patterns PB1-2, PB1-1, and PA1 of FIG. 13 described later, respectively. It corresponds to -1, but the details will be described later.

When the falling end flag is not ON, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving flag is set to ON (step S1118), and when the time saving flag is set to ON, which of the jackpot types is selected. Set the fluctuation pattern for time saving based on whether it is based on time saving control (that is, which is the set time saving number), the number of changes after a big hit game, or whether it is a big hit or a loss (Step S1119). On the other hand, when the time saving flag is not set to ON, the variation pattern for non-time saving is set based on whether it is a big hit or a loss (step S1120). It should be noted that the fluctuation pattern for time saving set in the processing of step S1119 includes a plurality of fluctuation patterns such as fluctuation patterns PA2-1 and PB2-1 in FIG. 13 described later, and is set in the processing of step S1120. The non-time saving variation pattern includes a plurality of variation patterns such as variation patterns PA4-1 and PB4-1 in FIG. 13 described later, the details of which will be described later.

In the special symbol stop process (step S113 in FIG. 5) shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 103 of the main board 11 determines whether the time saving flag is set to ON (step S1131), and the time saving flag is set to ON. If the probability variation flag is set to ON (step S1132), and the probability variation flag is set to ON (that is, if the falling lottery has not been won yet). , It is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations after the big hit (the number of executions of the special figure game) matches the maximum number of time saving (L) set in the RAM 102 (step S1133).

When it is determined that the number of fluctuations after the big hit matches L, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag to OFF and resets the time saving guaranteed number (N) and the maximum time saving number (L) (step S1135). It is determined that the number of fluctuations after the big hit is equal to L when the big hits A, B, and C are won, and when the big hit D is set, an extremely large value is set as the value of L. Substantially the number of fluctuations after a big hit does not match L. As a result, when the big hits A, B, and C are won, even when the falling lottery is not won (the probability change flag is ON) while the time saving is controlled (the probability change flag is ON), the number of fluctuations reaches the maximum number of time saving (L). This ends the time saving control. On the other hand, when the big hit D is won, if the falling lottery is not won (the probability change flag is ON) while the time saving is controlled (the probability change flag is ON), the number of fluctuations reaches the maximum number of time saving (L). Therefore, the time saving control can be continued. In this case, as described above, the time saving control ends by winning the falling lottery when the number of fluctuations exceeds the guaranteed time saving number (N) (see steps S1101 to S1106 in FIG. 10).

When the probability variation flag is not set to ON (that is, when the falling lottery is won), the number of fluctuations after the big hit (the number of executions of the special figure game) is set to the RAM 102 in the guaranteed time saving (N ) Is determined (step S1134), and when it is determined that the number of fluctuations after the big hit is equal to N, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag to OFF and the guaranteed time saving number (N) and time saving. The maximum number (L) is reset (step S1135). As a result, when the jackpots A to D are won, even when the falling lottery is won (the probability variation flag is OFF) while the time saving is controlled (the probability variation flag is OFF), the number of fluctuations does not reach the guaranteed time saving number (N). The time saving control is maintained, and when the number of fluctuations reaches the time saving guaranteed number (N), the time saving control ends.

(Variation pattern)
Next, the variation pattern of the characteristic portion SKY692 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the variation pattern of the present embodiment.

The plurality of variation patterns shown in FIG. 13 differ in the special figure variation time and the variable display mode of the decorative design. The special figure variation time is a time required from the start of variable display of the special symbol to the stop display of the fixed special symbol in the special figure games such as the first special figure game and the second special figure game. The plurality of variation patterns of the present embodiment include variation patterns corresponding to any combination of "non-reach" and "reach" and any of "off" and "big hit". In the variation pattern of "non-reach (disappearance)", the fixed decorative design of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative design, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative design is "non-reach lost". In the variation pattern of “reach”, the fixed decorative design of the reach combination which is not the jackpot combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative design, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative design is “reach lost”. In the variation pattern of "non-reach (big hit)", the fixed decorative pattern of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "without changing the variable display mode of the decorative pattern to the predetermined reach mode. It is a big hit. In the variation pattern of “reach (big hit)”, after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the predetermined reach mode, the fixed decorative pattern of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is “big hit”. It will be.

Of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 13, the variation pattern indicated by the English letter PA is a variation pattern corresponding to “out”, and the variation pattern indicated by the English letter PB is a variation pattern corresponding to “big hit”.

The fluctuation patterns PA1-1, PB1-1, PB1-2 are when the falling end flag is ON (that is, as described above, the big hit D is won and the number of fluctuations after the big hit game exceeds 100 times to save time. This is a variation pattern that is selected when the time saving control ends by winning the falling lottery while being controlled.

The variation pattern PA1-1 is a variation pattern that is selected when the falling lottery is won and when the big hit lottery is not won (at the time of losing). Although details will be apparent from the description below, by determining the variation pattern PA1-1, a fixed special figure variation time (60 seconds) is used, and a deviation notification is given after performing a fall-inclination effect and a result display. It is possible to execute the falling effect.

The variation pattern PB1-1 is a variation pattern selected when the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot lottery is won to determine a jackpot type other than the jackpot D (jackets A to C). Although the details will be apparent from the description below, by determining the variation pattern PB1-1, a fixed special figure variation time (60 seconds) is used to perform a fall agitation effect and a result display, and then a big hit notification is given. It is possible to execute a special effect for performing. In addition, as described above, when the falling lottery is won and the big hit lottery is won, the big hit lottery is executed after the falling lottery, which results in a "big hit" as a result of the big hit lottery in the normal gaming state. For this reason, the percentage of winning the big hit D is small (6%), which is less advantageous than the big hit (the percentage of the big hit D is 100%) when the time saving state is controlled (the number of times saving is small). It will be. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot lottery is won and then the jackpot lottery is won, the exclusive variation pattern PB1-1 is determined, so that the jackpot lottery is won and then the jackpot lottery is won. A special effect that allows the player to recognize is executed. Details of this special effect will be described later.

The variation pattern PB1-2 is a variation pattern selected when the falling lottery is won and when the jackpot type of the jackpot D is determined by winning the jackpot lottery. As will be described in detail later, by determining the variation pattern PB1-2, a fixed special figure variation time (60 seconds) is used to perform a fall-causing effect and a result display, and then a big hit notification is given. It is possible to execute the special effect of performing. In addition, as described above, when the falling lottery is won and the big hit lottery is won, the big hit lottery is executed after the falling lottery, which results in a "big hit" as a result of the big hit lottery in the normal gaming state. Therefore, the percentage of winning the big hit D is small (6%). Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot lottery is won and then the jackpot D, which has an extremely low proportion as a result of the jackpot lottery, is won, the exclusive variation pattern PB1-2 is determined, and thus the fall lottery is selected. A special effect is executed so that the player can recognize that the rare big hit is won and the player can recognize that the rare big hit is won. Details of this special effect will be described later.

The fluctuation patterns PA2-1, PB2-1, PA2-2, PB2-2, PA2-3, PA2-4, PB2-3 can be determined in the time saving state (or the probability changing state) in which the time saving control is performed. It is a variation pattern that is determined according to the number of variations after the big hit among the variation patterns for use.

The variation pattern PA2-1 is a variation pattern corresponding to the “miss” that is determined when the number of variations during the time saving control is the first time, and the variation pattern PB2-1 is the variation number during the time saving control is the first time. It is a variation pattern corresponding to the “big hit” that is decided at a certain time. As will be described in detail later, when the variation patterns PA2-1 and PB2-1 are determined, a fixed special figure variation time (45 seconds) is used to suggest a roulette chance effect. Can be executed. The details of the roulette chance production will be described later. The variation patterns PA2-1 and PB2-1 are selected in the first special figure game after the big hit game when any one of the big hits A to D is won when the time saving control is not performed. Is.

The fluctuation pattern PA2-2 is a fluctuation pattern corresponding to the “miss” determined when the number of fluctuations during the time saving control is the 100th time, and the fluctuation pattern PB2-2 is the fluctuation number during the time shortening control is the 100th time. It is a variation pattern corresponding to the “big hit” that is decided at a certain time. As will be described in detail later, whether or not the time saving control is continued using the fixed special figure fluctuation time (40 seconds) by determining the fluctuation patterns PA2-2 and PB2-2. It is possible to execute a short-time continuous fan production and a result display. Details of the time-saving continuation fueling effect and the result display will be described later. The variation patterns PA2-2 and PB2-2 are variation patterns selected in the 100th special figure game after the big hit game when the big hit D is won.

The fluctuation patterns PA2-3 and PA2-4 are fluctuation patterns corresponding to “miss” that is determined when the number of fluctuations during time saving control exceeds the 100th time, and the fluctuation pattern PB2-3 is fluctuation during time saving control. It is a variation pattern corresponding to the “big hit” determined when the number of times exceeds the 100th time. As will be described in detail later, by determining the variation patterns PA2-3 and PB2-3, a fixed special figure variation time (60 seconds) is used to perform a fall agitation effect and a result display. After that, it is possible to notify the time saving continuation (departure) in response to the "miss" and execute the jackpot notification in response to the "big hit". Further, since the variation pattern PA2-4 has an extremely short special figure variation time (2 seconds), it is possible to quickly execute the special figure game by determining the variation pattern PA2-4. . The variation patterns PA2-3, PA2-4, and PB2-3 are selected when the big hit D is won and when the falling lottery is not won in the special drawing game over 100 times after the big hit game. It is a fluctuation pattern. Therefore, in the special figure game over the 100th time, by increasing the selection ratio of the variation patterns PA2-4 selected when the special figure game is lost, the special figure game can be executed at high speed.

The variation pattern PA3-1 is a variation pattern for reach reduction that can be determined in the time reduction state (or the probability variation state) in which the time reduction control is performed, and the variation pattern PA3-2 is the time reduction control performed. Is a fluctuation pattern for non-reach (off) time shortening that can be determined in the time saving state (or the probability changing state), and the fluctuation pattern PB3-1 is determined in the time saving state (or the probability changing state) in which the time saving control is performed. This is a variation pattern for possible shortening of reach (big hit).

The fluctuation pattern PA4-1 is a fluctuation pattern for non-time saving of reach which is determinable in the normal state (or the latent state) where the time saving control is not performed, and the fluctuation pattern PA4-2 performs the time saving control. It is a variation pattern for non-reach (non-reduction) non-time saving that can be determined in the normal state (or latent state) which is not kept, and the variation pattern PB4-1 is a normal state (or latency state) in which time saving control is not performed. Is a variation pattern for non-time saving of reach (big hit) that can be determined in.

As described above, in the variation patterns PA1-1, PB1-1, PB1-2, PA2-3, and PB2-3, the special figure variation time is the same (60 seconds), and the same effect (falling over). It is configured so that it is not possible to know which variation pattern is selected by executing the effect and the result display). However, the respective special patterns may have different special figure changing times, and the same effect may be executed halfway. Specifically, the special pattern variation time may be longer in the jackpot variation pattern (eg, PB1-1) than in the out-of-range variation pattern (eg, PA1-1). By doing so, in the variation pattern of the big hit, it is possible to execute the same effect as the variation pattern of the out-of-range, and then execute the effect of the revival big hit using the remaining special figure variation time.

Each variation pattern shown in FIG. 13 is merely an example, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in FIG. 13, the fluctuation patterns PA2-2 and PB2-2 are selected in the 100th special drawing game after the big hit game, so that the time-saving continuous fanning effect and the like are executed. Similar to the subsequent 100th special drawing game, the variation pattern in which the time-saving continuous fanning effect or the like is executed may be selected also in the 9th and 18th special drawing games after the big hit game. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the time saving control is maintained even if the falling lottery is won (that is, in the special drawing game within the guaranteed time count (N)), or when the time saving control is not performed, the falling lottery is selected. Even if the player wins the prize, he/she does not notify that he/she has won the falling lottery, but a special effect for notifying that he has won the falling lottery may be executed (that is, a variation in which the special effect is executed) The pattern may be set). In addition, in the present embodiment, the big hits A, B, and C may not be won in the falling lottery when the time saving control ends, and thus may be controlled in a latent state. For this reason, a variation pattern may be set in which an effect that suggests the latent state or the normal state is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the content of the effect to be executed is determined by determining the variation pattern on the main board 11 side, but on the main board 11 side, the special figure variation time is determined and the effect is produced. It is also possible to notify the control board 12 and determine the content of the effect to be executed on the effect control board 12 side.

(Example of special game after big hit game)
Next, with reference to FIG. 14 to FIG. 20, an example of the effect of the special drawing game after the big hit game will be described. The production shown in FIGS. 14 to 20 is executed by the production control board 12 by determining any of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 13 by the main board 11 and notifying the production control board 12 of the information on the variation pattern. To be done. FIG. 14: is a figure which shows the example of execution of the effect|action of the 1st rotation at the time of time saving control, and FIG. 15: is a figure which shows the example of execution of effect of the 100th rotation at the time of time saving control, 16 to 20 are diagrams showing execution examples of effects when the number of revolutions exceeds 100 during the time saving control.

(Example of effect for the first rotation when time saving is controlled)
First, an execution example of the effect (roulette chance effect) for the first rotation when the time reduction control is performed will be described with reference to FIG. The effect shown in FIG. 14 is the variation pattern PA2-1 or PB2- of FIG. 13 in the first special figure game after the big hit game when one of the big hits A to D is won when the time saving control is not performed. It is executed based on 1.

As shown in FIG. 14(1), when the special drawing game for the first rotation is started, on the screen of the image display device 5, an effect for notifying that a roulette chance effect is to be executed (for example, "roulette chance" is displayed). The telop of “) is executed. At this time, the decorative design of the image display device 5 is variably displayed as a small design reduced in the right corner of the screen (not shown). Here, the roulette chance effect is an effect in which a roulette effect in which a plurality of options are rotated is executed and one of the options is selected based on the operation of the player.

When the roulette effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 14(2), a plurality of options such as "time saving end", "100 time saving", "18 time saving", "9 time saving", and "big hit" rotate. Is displayed. That is, in the roulette chance effect of the present embodiment, a plurality of options are roulette-displayed, and when any one of them is selected, it is notified that the number of times is short (or a big hit) corresponding to the option. In addition, "time saving end" corresponds to 1 time saving time at the time of big hit A, "9 time saving" corresponds to 9 times of time saving at big hit B, and "18 time saving" means big hit C In the case of, the number of shortening times is 18 times, the number of “shortening times 100 times” corresponds to the number of shortening times of 100+α in the case of the big hit D, and “big hit” means that the special drawing game of the first rotation is a big hit (that is, , Based on the variation pattern PB2-1). As described above, since the options for the roulette chance production of the present embodiment include not only the number of times saved but also the “big hit”, a player who expects to be advised of the number of times saved “ It is possible to give an unexpected feeling by selecting "big hit".

When the roulette chance effect is executed, a plurality of options are displayed in the roulette, and when a predetermined period has elapsed, as shown in FIGS. 14 (3A) and (3B), the player pushes the push button 31B to select the option. An operation instruction effect that prompts an operation is executed. Here, in the present embodiment, the character image "press" is displayed together with the button image as the operation instruction effect, but the color of the button image has a plurality of modes of "white" and "red". That is, in the present embodiment, as the operation instruction effect, the first operation instruction effect in which the color of the button image is “white” (see FIG. 14 (3A)) and the second operation instruction effect in which the color of the button image is “red” ( FIG. 14 (3B)). Then, in the second operation instruction effect, it is easier to select an option (for example, an option in which the number of times saved is shorter) advantageous to the player in the second operation instruction effect. Specifically, when the second operation instruction effect is executed, "100 times shorter time" is more easily selected than when the first operation instruction effect is executed, and when the first operation instruction effect is executed, the second operation instruction second effect is selected. It is easier to select “time saving end” than when the operation instruction effect is executed. This is, for example, in the case of the first rotation after the big hit game when the big hit D is won, the selection ratio of the second operation instruction effect is made higher than the selection ratio of the first operation instruction effect, and the big hit A is won. In the case of the first rotation after the big hit game at that time, it can be realized by increasing the selection rate of the first operation instruction effect higher than the selection rate of the second operation instruction effect. The “big hit” option may be selected more easily when the second operation instruction effect is executed than when the first operation instruction effect is executed, but the “big hit” option is selected. At this time, a special operation instruction effect in which a premium button image is displayed may be executed.

As shown in FIG. 14 (3A), when the first operation instruction effect (the color of the button image is “white”) is executed and the player operates the push button 31B within a predetermined operation effective period (or, push operation is performed). When a predetermined operation valid period elapses without operating the button 31B), as shown in FIG. 14(4A), for example, "time saving end" is displayed as the selection result of the roulette effect options. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14(3B), when the second operation instruction effect (the color of the button image is "red") is executed and the player operates the push button 31B within a predetermined operation effective period (or , (When a predetermined operation valid period elapses without operating the push button 31B), as shown in FIG. 14(4B), for example, "100 hours reduction" is displayed as the selection result of the roulette effect options. As described above, in the second operation instruction effect, it is easier to select an option (for example, an option having a larger number of times saved) that is more advantageous to the player than the first operation instruction effect.

As described above, in the first special drawing game after the big hit game when any one of the big hits A to D is won when the time saving control is not performed, the roulette chance effect is executed to correspond to the short time count. A plurality of options are displayed in a roulette wheel, and one of the options is selected and displayed based on the operation of the player, so that the number of times saved can be suggested. That is, in the present embodiment, since there are a plurality of big hit types (big hits A to D) corresponding to a plurality of time saving times, it is not possible to know the number of time saving after the big hit game, but time saving is achieved by the roulette chance effect of the first special drawing game. Since the number of times is suggested, it becomes possible to improve the enjoyment of the game. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of times saved is suggested in the first special figure game after the big hit game. Therefore, when one of the big hits A to D is won, it is not known which one is won. As described above, it is preferable to stop and display the big hit symbols in a manner in which it is difficult to distinguish which big hit.

Note that the options for the roulette chance effect are not limited to the example of FIG. 14(2), and may include options that do not explicitly indicate the number of time saving, such as "time saving? This option “time-saving? Times” is selectable when a plurality of time-saving times (for example, “1 time”, “9 times”, “18 times”) is selected, and thus “time-saving? Times” is selected. Then, it is not possible to know how long the time saving control is, so it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game without knowing how long the time saving control continues. In addition, when the big hit D is won in the normal state, when a rare effect (for example, full-rotation effect) that informs that it is a special big hit is executed, or when 100 times are saved, Instead of displaying the options shown in FIG. 14(2), special effects in different modes may be performed.

In addition, in the above-mentioned operation instruction presentation, the expectation of the option to be selectively displayed (the expectation that the option advantageous to the player is selected) is different due to the difference in the color of the button image. However, the size of the button image may be different, and the effect modes of the first operation instruction effect and the second operation instruction effect may be different. Further, the degree of expectation of the options to be selectively displayed may be different depending on the difference in the operation target instructed by the operation instruction effect instead of the effect mode of the operation instruction effect. Specifically, the degree of expectation of the options to be selected and displayed may be different when the push button 31B is designated as the operation target and when the stick controller 31A is designated as the operation target.

Further, in the above-mentioned roulette chance effect, the options that are selectively displayed may not necessarily correspond to the actual number of times saved. Specifically, when the actual number of times saved is 18 times, "9 times saved" may be selected and displayed as an option. In this case, the time saving control may be continued up to the actual number of times saved by executing the time saving continuation effect in the ninth special drawing game. Similarly, there may be a case where the time saving continuation effect is executed and the time saving control is continued after the "time saving end" is selected and displayed as an option, or the "time saving end" is selected and displayed as " There may be a case where it becomes a "big hit" (it becomes a resurrected big hit).

(Example of effect at 100th rotation when time saving is controlled)
Next, with reference to FIG. 15, an execution example of an effect of the 100th rotation (time-saving continuation inspiration effect, etc.) when the time-saving control is performed will be described. The effect shown in FIG. 15 is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-2 of FIG. 13 in the 100th special drawing game after the big hit game when the big hit D is won.

As shown in FIG. 15(1), when the special drawing game of the 100th rotation is executed, a time saving background indicating that time saving control is performed is displayed as a background image on the screen of the image display device 5. Then, a time-saving continuation-enhancing effect for executing whether or not the time-saving control is continued is executed. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 15(1), whether or not the time saving control is continued by the player performing a predetermined operation (for example, pressing the push button 31B) as a time saving continuous attraction effect. The effect of being informed is executed. At this time, the decorative design of the image display device 5 is temporarily displayed as a detached design after being displayed as a reduced design that is reduced and displayed in the right corner of the screen, for example.

When the time saving control does not continue (that is, when the falling lottery is won within 100 rotations after the big hit), the time saving control ends as a result of the time saving continuous fanning effect as shown in FIG. 15 (2A). The end notification effect for notifying that the result is performed is executed, and thereafter, the result display is executed as shown in FIG. 15 (3A). Here, the result display is a display of information about the acquired game value such as the total number of prize balls obtained in the big hit game state, the number of consecutive big hits (so-called number of consecutive holidays), and the like. By performing this result display, it is possible to make a stronger impression that the time saving control is completed. After that, in the special drawing game of the first rotation after the time saving control is finished, the normal background indicating the normal state is displayed as the background image on the screen of the image display device 5. This suggests that the time saving control has been completed and the normal state has been entered.

When the time saving control is continued (that is, when the falling lottery is not won within 100 rotations after the big hit), the time saving control is continued as a result of the time saving continued fanning effect, as shown in FIG. 15 (2B). A continuous notification effect for notifying that it is done is executed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15(3B), the time saving control is continued in the 101st special drawing game and thereafter, and the time saving showing that the time saving control is performed as the background image on the screen of the image display device 5. The background is continuously displayed.

The effect of the 100th rotation during the time reduction control shown in FIG. 15 is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-2 (out) in FIG. 13, but the variation pattern PB2-2 (big hit) in FIG. In the special effect game of the 100th rotation, the effect executed based on, for example, the time-saving continuous insulting effect shown in FIG. 15(1) is executed, and then the continuous notification effect shown in FIG. 15(2B) is executed. 15A, after the end notification effect shown in FIG. 15(2A) is executed, or after the result display shown in FIG. 15(3A) is executed, a big hit effect in which the big hit pattern is suddenly stopped and displayed is executed. It may be one. By doing so, it is possible to give an unexpected feeling to the player who expected that it would be suggested whether or not the time-saving control would be continued by executing the time-saving continuation-inspiring effect.

Further, when the time saving control is continued, the time saving end notification effect shown in FIG. 15(2A) is executed, and after the result display shown in FIG. 15(3A) is executed, the continuation notification effect is suddenly executed to save time. The control may be continued. By doing so, it is possible to give a surprising feeling to the player who expects the time saving control to end.

In addition, although FIG. 15 illustrates the execution example of the effect of the 100th rotation when the time-saving control is performed, the effect of the 9th rotation and the effect of the 18th rotation when the time-saving control is performed are also illustrated in FIG. It is also possible to execute the time-saving continuation curling effect, the continuation notification effect, and the end notification effect shown in FIG. However, in the effect of the 9th rotation and the effect of the 18th rotation when the time saving is controlled, unlike the effect of the 100th rotation, it is preferable that the result display is not performed after the end notification effect is executed. .. This is for the following reason. That is, the fact that the time saving control does not continue (the end notification effect is executed) at the 100th rotation when the time saving is controlled means that the player has won the falling lottery within 100 rotations (in the falling lottery. If the winning is not won, the time saving control continues.) Therefore, by displaying the result, it is possible to give an impression that the winning lottery was won. On the other hand, at the 9th rotation and the 18th rotation when the time saving control is performed, even if the time saving control is not continued (the end notification effect is executed), it does not necessarily mean that the player has won the falling lottery and is in the latent state. There is a possibility that For this reason, there is still a possibility of a big hit, so it is not preferable to give impression that the advantageous state for the player has ended by performing the result display.

(Demonstration example when 100 rotations are exceeded during time saving control; it does not fall and falls)
Next, with reference to FIG. 16, an example of execution of an effect (time saving continuation notification effect) that is a deviation without winning the falling lottery when the number of fluctuations during time saving control exceeds 100 rotations will be described. .. The effect shown in FIG. 16 is the variation pattern PA2-3 of FIG. 13 (a variation pattern when the winning is not won in the falling lottery when the falling lottery is not won in the special drawing game exceeding 100 times after the big hit game. ).

As shown in FIG. 16(1), when the special figure game is executed when the number of fluctuations during the time saving control exceeds 100 rotations, the time saving control is performed as the background image on the screen of the image display device 5. A short-time background is displayed. Then, with the start of the special drawing game, the variable display of the decorative design is started.

After that, as shown in FIG. 16(2), a fall agitation effect is performed that agitates whether or not the fall lottery is won (that is, whether or not the time saving control is ended). Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 16(2), as a fall agitation effect, whether the winning of the fall lottery is won or not is notified depending on whether the character has won or lost as a result of the battle effect between the characters. Is executed.

When the player loses as a result of the battle production, it is suggested that he/she has won the falling lottery. , Result display is executed. This gives the player the impression that the time saving control is ended by winning the falling lottery. However, after that (for example, by operating the push button 31B while the result display is being performed), as shown in FIG. 16(5), the continuous notification effect is suddenly executed and the time saving control is continued (that is, , Have not won the falling lottery). As a result, as shown in FIG. 16(6), the time saving control is continued even in the next special figure game, and the time saving background indicating that the time saving control is performed is the background image on the screen of the image display device 5. It is displayed continuously.

Note that in the example production shown in FIG. 16, the continuous notification production is executed after it is suggested that the player has once won the fall lottery (the time saving control will end) by being defeated in the battle production of the fall agitation production. The fact that the falling lottery has not been won (the time saving control will not end) will be notified. By doing this, the staggering effect (see FIG. 16) when not winning the falling lottery, the jackpot effect when not winning the falling lottery (see later-described FIG. 17), and the falling lottery It is possible to achieve the same effect halfway as the production that is off when winning (see FIG. 18 described later) and the production of jackpot when winning the falling lottery (see FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 described later). It is possible to make it difficult to judge whether or not a lottery is won (and whether it is a big hit or a big hit). However, the staggering effect when not winning the falling lottery is not limited to that shown in FIG. 16, and, for example, the fact that the time saving control is continued is notified by ending the draw as a result of the staggering staging effect. It may be one.

(Demonstration example when 100 rotations are exceeded when time is controlled; big hit without falling)
Next, with reference to FIG. 17, an example of execution of an effect (big hit notification effect) in which the number of fluctuations during the time reduction control exceeds 100 rotations and a big hit is achieved without winning the falling lottery will be described. The effect shown in FIG. 17 is the variation pattern PB2-3 of FIG. 13 (the variation pattern of the jackpot when not winning the falling lottery, when the falling lottery is not won in the special drawing game exceeding 100 times after the jackpot game. ).

The effects shown in FIGS. 17(1) to 17(4) are the same as the effects shown in FIGS. 16(1) to 16(4). This gives the player the impression that the time saving control is ended by winning the falling lottery. However, after that, the special figure game is not ended in the result display, and as shown in FIG. 17(5), the time saving background is displayed as the background image on the screen of the image display device 5, and the variable display of the decorative design is performed. It is restarted, and as shown in FIG. 17(6), the decorative design is stopped and displayed as a big hit design to notify that it is a big hit.

In this way, in the jackpot production example when not winning the falling lottery shown in FIG. 17, the result is displayed, and then the player returns to the short-time background to not win the falling lottery (that is, the time-saving control is maintained. The big hit is announced by the stop display of the decorative pattern suggesting the big hit.

In the effect example shown in FIG. 17, it is suggested that the player has once won the falling lottery by being defeated in the falling stirrer's battle effect (the time saving control ends), and then returning to the time saving background to enter the falling lottery. It was announced that a big hit would occur without winning. By doing this, the jackpot effect when not winning the falling lottery (see FIG. 17), the staggering effect when not winning the falling lottery (see FIG. 16) and the winning lottery It is possible to achieve the same effect halfway as the staggered effect (see FIG. 18 described later) and the big hit effect when the falling lottery is won (see FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 described later). It is possible to make it difficult to determine whether or not the player has won (and whether it is a big hit or a big hit). However, the effect of the big hit when not winning the falling lottery is not limited to that shown in FIG. 17, and, for example, by winning as a result of the battle effect of the falling agitation, it is a big hit that does not win the falling lottery. May be notified.

(Demonstration example when 100 rotations are exceeded during time saving control; falls and falls)
Next, with reference to FIG. 18, an example of executing an effect (falling effect) that is missed in the falling lottery when the number of fluctuations during time reduction control exceeds 100 rotations will be described. The production shown in FIG. 18 is based on the variation pattern PA1-1 (the variation pattern of the loss when winning the falling lottery) in FIG. 13 in which the falling lottery is won in the special drawing game that exceeds 100 times after the big hit game. Is executed.

The effects shown in FIGS. 18(1) to 18(4) are the same as the effects shown in FIGS. 16(1) to 16(4). This gives the player the impression that the time saving control is ended by winning the falling lottery. On the other hand, in the production example of the outfall when winning the falling lottery shown in FIG. 18, unlike the production example of the outfall when not winning in the falling lottery shown in FIG. 16, the result display shown in FIG. 18(4) is displayed. The variation display of the special figure game ends by being executed (the continuous notification effect shown in FIG. 16(5) is not executed). Therefore, in the next special figure game, as shown in FIG. 18(5), as the background image on the screen of the image display device 5, the normal background indicating that the time saving control has ended and the normal state has been entered is displayed. It As a result, the fact that the time saving control has ended and the vehicle has fallen to the normal state is notified.

It should be noted that the effects (see FIG. 18) that are missed when the player wins the falling lottery are the effects that are missed when the player does not win the falling lottery (see FIG. 16), and the jackpots when the player does not win the falling lottery. (Refer to FIG. 17) and the effect of the big hit when winning the falling lottery (refer to FIGS. 19 and 20 described later), since it is the same effect halfway, whether or not the falling lottery is won (and whether it is a big hit or not) It can be difficult to distinguish

(Example of production when 100 rotations are exceeded while time is controlled; fall and hit the jackpot)
Next, with reference to FIG. 19, an example of performing an effect (special effect) in which a falling lottery is won and a big hit is achieved when the number of fluctuations during time reduction control exceeds 100 rotations will be described. The effect shown in FIG. 19 is a variation pattern PB1-1 of FIG. 13 when the winning lottery is won in the special drawing game after the jackpot game is over 100 times (a jackpot other than the jackpot D when the falling lottery is won). Fluctuation pattern).

The effects shown in FIGS. 19(1) to (4) are the same as the effects shown in FIGS. 16(1) to (4). This gives the player the impression that the time saving control is ended by winning the falling lottery. However, after that, the special figure game is not ended in the result display, and as shown in FIG. 19(5), the normal background is displayed as the background image on the screen of the image display device 5, and the variable display of the decorative pattern is resumed. Then, as shown in FIG. 19(6), the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol to notify that it is a big hit.

In this way, in the jackpot production example when the falling lottery shown in FIG. 19 is won, the winning lottery is won by returning from the time-short background to the normal background after the result display is executed (that is, the time-saving control is finished. ) Is suggested, and the big hit is informed by the stop display of the decorative pattern suggesting the big hit. The reason why such an effect (special effect) is executed is as follows. In other words, when you win the falling lottery and become a big hit, it is determined as "big hit" after winning the falling lottery and finishing the time saving control, so that you will get "big hit" as a result of the big hit lottery in the normal state. .. Therefore, the degree of advantage is smaller than that of the big hit when the time saving state is controlled (the number of times saving time is small). On the other hand, the player does not know that he has won the big hit lottery after winning the falling lottery, so he recognizes that he has hit big when he is in the time saving state, and wins big hit D 100+α times. There is a risk that it will be recognized that it is possible to obtain a shorter number of times. Then, if it is recognized in this way, in the normal state, there is a high possibility that the jackpot which is not the jackpot D is actually won (94%). Therefore, the number of hours saved is less than the number of hours saved of 100+α. The end of the game may give the player a feeling of distrust and reduce the interest. Therefore, when winning the falling lottery and making a big hit, as shown in FIG. 19, by displaying a normal background, it is possible to specify that it is in a normal state (winning the falling lottery), and then, By notifying the big hit, it is possible to specify that the big hit has occurred in a normal state. This makes it possible for the player to recognize that he did not hit the jackpot when the time was controlled, but that he hit the jackpot when the player was in the normal state by winning the falling lottery, and distrusted the player. It is possible to prevent giving a feeling.

In the result display shown in FIG. 19(4), for example, a small symbol is displayed in the right corner of the screen to notify that the special drawing game is being executed, but this small symbol has a small display size. It is preferable that the visibility is relatively lower than that in the result display by displaying the display at a distance from the result display. In this way, by making the small symbol display less noticeable by lowering the visibility of the small symbol, the result display shown in FIG. 19(4) is executed. The impression shown in FIG. 19 can be given, and the effects shown in FIGS. 19(5) and 19(6) can be shown as if they were effects of the next special figure game. In this way, although it is originally a production based on one special drawing game, it can be made to appear as if it is a production based on two special drawing games, and the special drawing that was won in the falling lottery. Since it can be made to appear as if a big hit was made in the special drawing game immediately after the drawing game, it is possible to give the player an uplifting feeling.

Further, in the result display shown in FIG. 19(4), an effect of notifying that the jackpot is a big hit may be performed. Specifically, a special display (for example, the number of consecutive holidays: another time) may be performed in the result display to notify the big hit when the result display is performed. Even in this case, the jackpot is informed by the result display, but thereafter, the normal background is displayed as shown in FIG. 19(5), which suggests that the jackpot has been won and the jackpot has been won. It

(Execution example when 100 rotations are exceeded during time saving control; special big hit by falling)
Next, with reference to FIG. 20, an example of performing an effect (special effect) in which a falling lottery is won and a big hit is achieved when the number of fluctuations during time reduction control exceeds 100 rotations will be described. The effect shown in FIG. 20 is the variation pattern PB1-2 of FIG. 13 when the falling lottery is won in the special drawing game that exceeds the 100th time after the jackpot game (the variation pattern that becomes the jackpot D when the falling lottery is won). ).

The effects shown in FIGS. 20(1) to 20(4) are the same as the effects shown in FIGS. 16(1) to 16(4). This gives the player the impression that the time saving control is ended by winning the falling lottery. However, after that, the special figure game does not end in the result display, and as shown in FIG. 20(5), the result display screen (result screen) is broken and a ball simulating a big hit V appears from the inside. The execution of the special effect suggests that a special big hit (big hit D) has been won. After that, as shown in FIG. 20(6), the decorative design is stopped and displayed as a big hit design to notify that it is a big hit (big hit D).

As described above, in the example of the big hit effect when the falling lottery is won as shown in FIG. 20, the big hit is notified by performing the special effect such as the result screen being broken after the result display is executed. The reason for performing such an effect (special effect) is as follows. In other words, when you win the falling lottery and become a big hit, it is determined as "big hit" after winning the falling lottery and finishing the time saving control, so that you will get "big hit" as a result of the big hit lottery in the normal state. .. Therefore, when the big hit lottery is won after winning the falling lottery (that is, in the normal state), the percentage of winning the big hit D is extremely lower than when the big hit lottery is won when the time saving is controlled. (6%). Therefore, when the falling lottery is won and the jackpot D is achieved, a special effect is executed to notify that the rare jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 20(5).

In the example of the big hit (big hit D) effect when winning the falling lottery shown in FIG. 20, the special effect shown in FIG. 20(5) is executed, or the big hit notification shown in FIG. 20(6) is executed. Sometimes, the background may not be restored to the normal background. This is for the following reason. In other words, even if you win the big hit in the normal state by winning the falling lottery, you can win the falling lottery because you have won the big hit D that is the same as the big hit type that wins when the time is controlled. Even if the player is mistakenly recognized as having hit the jackpot when the time is controlled, the player does not suffer any disadvantage. Therefore, the big hit may be notified by executing a special effect or the like without returning to the normal background.

In the above description, the special effect is executed when the jackpot lottery is won and the jackpot D is won. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Different special effects may be executed. By doing so, the fact that the jackpot D with a very low winning ratio has been won is specifically notified, so that it is possible to give the player a feeling of uplifting.

Next, referring to FIG. 21, based on the variation pattern PA1-1, when the number of variations exceeds 100 times, the production (falling production) that is missed in the falling lottery and the variation pattern PB1-1. Based on, the time series comparison is made with the effect (special effect) in which the falling lottery is won and the jackpot is a big hit when the number of fluctuations exceeds 100 times. 21(1) shows the time series of the falling production, and FIG. 21(2) shows the time series of the special production. Each time series shows the flow of the production. The horizontal scale shown in) does not necessarily match.

As shown in FIG. 21(1), in the falling effect, when the special drawing game is started, a time-shortened background is displayed as a background image, and then the result display is performed to end the special drawing game. Then, when the next special figure game is started, the normal background is displayed as the background image, thereby notifying that the normal state has been entered (fallen). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21(2), in the special effect, when the special drawing game is started, the time-short background is displayed as the background image, and then the result display is performed, but the special drawing game is not ended. The ornamental design that has been temporarily stopped after switching from the short-time background to the normal background changes again, and the big hit design is stopped and displayed.

By the way, when winning the falling lottery, it is almost the case that the big hit lottery is performed in a normal state, so that when the winning of the falling lottery is achieved, the falling effect shown in FIG. 21(1) is executed. In most cases, the special effect shown in FIG. 21(2) is rarely executed. Therefore, in the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations exceeds 100 times during the time saving control, if the result display is performed, it is strongly suggested to the player that the drawing lottery is won and the time saving background is switched to the normal background. Impressed. In other words, the player is strongly impressed that the result display is executed to switch from the short-time background to the normal background when the player falls to the normal state. Therefore, even when the special effect shown in FIG. 21(2) is executed, the result display is executed and then the short-time background is switched to the normal background. It becomes possible for the player to easily recognize that the player has fallen to the normal state. Therefore, when the player has won the falling lottery and has won the jackpot, it is possible to let the player recognize that the jackpot has been hit in the normal state (after falling).

Further, as shown in (1) and (2) of FIG. 21, the result display is executed, so that the background image is switched from the short-time background to the normal background. For this reason, it can be said that the result display is a display for informing that the background image is switched from the short-time background to the normal background in a specifiable manner. As described above, in the present embodiment, it is suggested that the background image is switched from the short-time background to the normal background by executing the result display. Can be surely recognized.

(Regarding the effects of this embodiment)
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when it is determined that the jackpot is in the normal state, the probability change control is performed after the jackpot gaming state ends, and the jackpot gaming state is changed. After the end, it is possible to perform time reduction control in the first period (for example, the number of reductions in time based on the big hits A, B, and C 1, 9, 18 times), and when the time reduction is controlled (for example, in the probability variation state), the big hit When it is determined, the probability change control is performed after the jackpot gaming state ends, and the time saving control is performed in the second period longer than the first period after the jackpot gaming state ends (for example, 100 times saved based on the jackpot D). It is possible. When it is determined that the falling lottery is won and the jackpot is hit when the probability variation control and the time saving control are performed, as shown in FIG. After displaying the background, it is possible to execute a special effect for executing the big hit notification. For this reason, when the probability change control and the time saving control are performed, if the player wins the falling lottery and is determined to be a big hit, the normal background is displayed to shift to the normal state (that is, the falling lottery is won). It is possible to let the player know what has happened, and the big hit notification is executed in the normal background, so that the player can know that the big hit has occurred in the normal state. Therefore, although the big hit is made during the time saving control, the time saving controlled period after the end of the big hit game state is not the second period (specifically, the first period is shorter than the second period). It is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust of the situation, and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, the effect capable of specifying that the normal state is controlled is switched from the time-short background displayed when the time is controlled to the normal background displayed in the normal state. It can be said that it is a switching production. By executing such a switching effect, it is possible for the player to surely know that the big hit has been achieved in the normal state (after the fall) after the time saving control is completed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21(2), when the switching effect for switching from the short-time background to the normal background is executed, the result display is executed. For this reason, it can be said that the result display is a display for informing that the background image is switched from the short-time background to the normal background in a specifiable manner. In this way, by executing the result display, it is suggested that the background image switches from the short-time background to the normal background, so it was a big hit in the normal state after the time-saving control ended (after falling). It is possible for the player to surely grasp.

Further, when it is determined that the big hit in the normal state, there are a plurality of periods as the first period in which the time saving is controlled after the big hit game state is finished. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, there are 1,9, 18 and 100 time saving times corresponding to the big hits A, B, C and D, respectively. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, in the variable display of the first rotation after the end of the big hit game state, a roulette chance effect that suggests which of the plurality of periods the time saving control is performed is executed. . Therefore, it is suggested in which period the time-saving control is performed, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when it is determined that the big hit in the normal state, the probability change control is performed after the big hit game state ends, and the second period (for example, based on the big hit D is finished after the big hit game state ends. It is possible to perform time saving control at 100 times. Then, while the probability variation control and the time saving control are being won, the falling lottery is won, and when the big hit (big hit D) to be time saving controlled in the second period is determined after the end of the big hit game state, as shown in FIG. Then, a special effect is executed. In this way, there is a case where the player can win the big hit (big hit D), which is advantageous even when the big hit occurs from the normal state. In this case, the special effect is executed, so that the player can be expected. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

(Modification of the characteristic part SKY692)
The characteristic portion SKY692 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment, and is shown in the above-described embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the conventional technology. It may have a part of the configuration.

For example, in FIG. 17, when the jackpot is not won in the falling lottery and the jackpot is a big hit, after the result display is executed, the time-saving background is displayed, which suggests that the falling lottery is not won. The big hit was announced. However, even if the jackpot is won without winning the falling lottery, the result display is usually performed after the result display is executed in the same manner as in the case where the winning lottery is won and the jackpot is shown in FIG. The big hit may be notified after the background is displayed. In this way, since the player has not actually won the falling lottery (because the time saving control is maintained), the jackpot D is won, but it is possible to give an impression as if the winning of the falling lottery was won. , Gives the player anxiety that he or she may not have won the big hit D, and since it actually wins the big hit D, at least 100 time saving controls are guaranteed. It is possible to give the player a sense of security and improve the interest of the game.

Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in the example of the big hit when the winning of the falling lottery is won, the fact that the winning of the falling lottery is won is notified by displaying the normal background before executing the big hit notification. However, the mode of notifying that the player has won the falling lottery is not limited to the normal background. For example, the background image may not be changed, and a telop may be displayed to notify that the player has won the falling lottery and has transitioned to the normal state, or may be notified by a production sound, or by a lamp. It may be notified.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the result display is configured to notify that the short-time background is switched to the normal background so that it can be specified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the time-short background is displayed, a predetermined character may switch to the normal background by removing the background image (wallpaper) of the time-short background. By doing so, it is possible to cause a predetermined character to function as a special display that allows the user to specify that the short-time background is switched to the normal background.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the roulette chance effect that suggests the number of time saving is supposed to be executed in the special rotation game of the first rotation when the time saving is controlled. It is not limited. For example, it may be executed during a predetermined round during a big hit game or during an ending effect. Further, the roulette chance effect may be executed a plurality of times. Specifically, the roulette chance effect is executed in the special rotation game of the first rotation when the time saving is controlled, "9 times reduction of time saving" is selected and displayed, and the special drawing of the ninth rotation when the time saving control is performed. The roulette chance effect is executed in the game so that "18 times reduced in time" is selectively displayed. For example, the roulette chance effect is executed again in the final special-time game of the selected hour reduced times, so that the time saving control is further performed. May indicate that it may continue.

(Explanation regarding the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK)
Next, an embodiment of the characteristic units 80AK and 81AK will be described. In the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK, the time saving control is guaranteed until 100 special figure games end after the big hit ends, regardless of whether or not the probability variation control is performed. When the probability variation control is performed after the big hit game, the falling lottery is performed corresponding to the start of the special drawing game each time. If the falling lottery is won, the probability variation control ends. If the falling lottery is not won by the end of the 100 special game after the big hit, the probability variation control and the time saving control are continued until the falling lottery is won or the next big hit game state is started. .. When the falling lottery is won in response to the 101st special game after the big hit, the time saving control ends together with the probability variation control, so that the normal state is controlled thereafter. If the probability variation control is not performed after the big hit game, or if you have won the falling lottery by the end of the 100 special map games even if the probability change control is performed after the big hit game, it will be accompanied by the 100th special map game. Since the time saving control ends, the normal state is controlled thereafter. In this way, within at least a predetermined period after the end of the big hit, such as the period until the 100th special figure game ends after the end of the big hit, the time saving control is ended unless the next big hit game state is controlled. Done without. The function for performing the time saving control at least within a predetermined period after the jackpot is also called a time saving guarantee function (high base guarantee function), a time saving guarantee function (high base guarantee function), or a fall compensation function.

In the characteristic portions 80AK and 81AK, after the jackpot gaming state, which is an advantageous state, as a first special state that is more advantageous than the normal state, a highly accurate state in which the certainty variation control is performed (the certainty variation state), and at least within a predetermined period is normal. As a second special state that is advantageous over the state and different from the first special state, it is possible to control to a high base state (time saving state) in which time saving control is performed. The high-probability state as the first special state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal state in that the probability that the lottery result of the big hit lottery corresponding to the special drawing game is a “big hit” is higher than the normal state. is there. The high base state as the second special state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal state in that the frequency of executing the special drawing game is higher than the normal state. CPU103 of the game control microcomputer 100, for example, when performing the jackpot end process in step S117 of the special symbol process process, by performing settings for starting the probability variation control and time saving control, as a first special state It is possible to control the highly accurate state and the high base state as the second special state. In the characteristic portions 80AK, 81AK, after the jackpot gaming state, one of a high-precision high base state which is a high-precision state and a high base state, and a low-precision high base state which is a low-precision state and a high base state. Can be controlled to the game state. The high-probability high-base state is a gaming state that is the first special state and the second special state in which the time-varying control is performed while the time-varying control is performed. 2 This is a game state that is a special state.

After being controlled to a high-probability high-base state that is the first special state and the second special state after the big hit ends, win the falling lottery within the predetermined period until the number of fluctuations after the big hit reaches 100 times When it is determined that the probability variation control is to be terminated, the highly accurate state as the first special state is terminated in response to the determination. After that, when the number of fluctuations after the jackpot has reached 100 times and the predetermined period ends, the high base state as the second special state is ended corresponding to the end of the predetermined period.

When the high-precision high-base state, which is the first special state and the second special state after the big hit, is controlled, it is not won in the falling lottery within the predetermined period until the number of fluctuations after the big hit reaches 100 times. If it is not determined that the probability variation control is to be ended, even after the end of the predetermined period in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot has exceeded 100 times, it is determined that the probability variation control will be ended by winning in the falling lottery Controlled to the base state.

FIG. 22-1 shows an example of the configuration of the effect control command used as the start opening winning award command of the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK. In the start winning determination process executed in step S101 of the special symbol process process, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command that specifies the occurrence of the start winning is performed. As a performance control command for designating the occurrence of a start winning a prize, a start mouth winning award designating command is prepared in advance. In addition, in the start winning determination process, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command designating the number of reserved memories is performed. As the effect control command for designating the number of reserved memories, a notice of the number of reserved memories is prepared in advance. Further, in the start winning determination process, transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command designating the determination result of the prefetch determination is performed. A winning determination result command is prepared in advance as an effect control command for designating the determination result of the prefetch determination. As described above, the start-port winning combination command includes a start-port winning-designation command, a reserved memory number notification command, and a winning determination result command.

FIG. 22-1(A) shows a setting example of the starting mouth winning award designating command, the held storage number notification command, and the winning determination result command. The starting mouth winning designation command includes a command B100H which is a first starting mouth winning designation command and a command B200H which is a second starting mouth winning designation command. The subscript H indicates that it is a hexadecimal number. The reserved storage number notification command includes a command C1XXH which is the first reserved storage number notification command and a command C2XXH which is the second reserved storage number notification command. It should be noted that XXH indicates an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be any value that is arbitrarily set according to the instruction content by the effect control command. In the pending storage number notification command, different EXT data (for example, any of 00H to 04H) is set according to the first pending storage number and the second pending storage number. Different EXT data is set in the command C4XXH, which is the winning determination result command, depending on the determination result of the prefetch determination.

When the game ball that has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) occurs, the first reserved memory number is By determining that the upper limit value has not been reached, the first starting condition is satisfied. The first starting condition is a condition for executing a special figure game (first special figure game) using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. When the first start condition is met, the main board 11 transmits to the effect control board 12 a first start opening winning award designation command, a winning determination result command, and a first reserved memory number notification command. When the game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (the second starting winning) is generated, the second reserved memory number. Is determined not to reach the upper limit value, the second start condition is satisfied. The second start condition is a condition for executing a special figure game (second special figure game) using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. When the second starting condition is satisfied, the main board 11 transmits to the effect control board 12 a second start opening winning award designation command, a winning determination result command, and a second reserved memory number notification command.

On the side of the effect control board 12, it is possible to detect the establishment of the first start condition by receiving the first start opening prize designation command, and it is possible to detect the establishment of the second start condition by receiving the second start opening prize designation command. it can. In this way, the first start opening winning award designation command is an effect control command for notifying the establishment of the first start condition. The second start opening winning award designation command is an effect control command for notifying the establishment of the second start condition. The determination result command at the time of winning is the time of the first start winning when the game ball has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening and the time of detecting the game ball having passed (entered) the second starting winning opening. At the time of the second start winning, a comparison result (a winning judgment result) using a game random number (a random number value for determining a special figure display result, etc.) extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like is given to the effect control board 12 side. Notice. The first reserved memory number notification command notifies the first special figure reserved memory number. The second reserved storage number notification command notifies the second special figure reserved storage number.

FIG. 22-1(B) exemplifies the notification content by the winning determination result command. Among the winning determination result commands, the command C402H, the command C403H, and the command C404H may be transmitted when the random number value for determining the special figure display result is not within the jackpot determination range. The result of winning determination that the game is not controlled in the big hit game state by being determined as "miss" is notified. On the other hand, the command C401H is transmitted when the random number value for determining the special figure display result is within the big hit determination range, and the display result of the special figure game is determined to be "big hit", whereby the big hit game state is controlled. The winning determination result (variable display content is "big hit") is notified. The command C400H notifies that the winning determination is restricted. The command C402H is transmitted when the random number value for determining the variation pattern is within the super-reach fixed range at the time of losing, and the determination result at the time of winning that the variation pattern involving the super-reach is determined at the time of losing (variable display content is "Confirm Super Reach when lost"). On the other hand, the command C403H is transmitted when the random number value for determining the variation pattern is within the reach determination range at the time of losing, and the variation determination result with the reach effect at the time of losing is determined (variable). Notify that the displayed content is "Reach confirmed when lost"). Further, the command C404H is transmitted when the random number value for determining the variation pattern is neither within the super reach determination range nor the reach determination range at the time of losing, and there is a possibility that the variation pattern with the reach effect may not be determined. The time determination result (variable display content is "general when lost") is notified. In this way, the winning determination result command uses the game random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning, whether the variable display result is determined to be a "big hit", or whether it is determined to be a specific variation pattern. It is transmitted as determination result information notifying the determination result at the time of winning.

FIG. 22-2 shows a configuration example of the probability variation fall determination table 80AKT01 used in the fall lottery regarding the characteristic units 80AK and 81AK. In the probability variation fall determination table 80AKT01, a determination value that is compared with a random number value for the fall lottery is assigned to the lottery result of whether or not the fall lottery is won. The random number value for the falling lottery may be the same as the random number value for the big hit lottery (for determining the special figure display result), or may be a different random number value. When using a random number value that is the same as the random number value for the big hit lottery as the random number value for the falling lottery, the range of the random number value that the display result is "miss" includes the random number value that is won in the falling lottery. Just do it. Alternatively, the range of the random number value for which the display result is “big hit” may include at least a part of the random number value that is won in the falling lottery. The CPU 103 refers to the probability variation fall determination table 80AKT01 using the random value for the fall lottery to determine whether the drop lottery ends the probability variation control and the non-winning fall lottery continues the probability variation control. be able to.

In the characteristic units 80AK and 81AK, numerical data whose values are randomly updated in the range of 0 to 65535 is used as the random value for the falling lottery. In the probability variation fall determination table 80AKT01, of the fall determination values that are compared with the random value for the fall lottery, a numerical value in the range of 5500 to 5686 is assigned to the “fallover winning”, and other numbers are assigned to the “falling non-winning”. It is assigned. As a result, in the falling lottery that is performed corresponding to each special drawing game, the lottery result is “falling winning” with a probability of 1/350, and the lottery result is “falling non-winning” with a probability of 349/350.

FIG. 22-3 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table used in the jackpot lottery for the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK. The display result determination tables of the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK are the first special figure display result determination table 80AKT11 shown in FIG. 22-3(A) and the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 22-3(B). The table 80AKT12 is included. A common display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure. In the display result determination table, the determination value that is compared with the random number value MR1 for the jackpot lottery or the special figure display result determination for the lottery result of whether or not the display result is “big hit” in the jackpot lottery Has been assigned. In the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK, numerical data whose values are randomly updated in the range of 0 to 65535 is used as the random number value MR1 for the big hit lottery or the special figure display result determination. When the special figure game using the first special figure is executed, the variable special figure corresponds to the first special figure, and the big hit lottery is performed with reference to the first special figure display result determination table 80AKT11. . When the special figure game using the second special figure is executed, the variable special figure corresponds to the second special figure, and the big hit lottery is performed with reference to the second special figure display result determination table 80AKT12. .

The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be configured so that the winning probability (ball-out rate) of the big hit changes according to the set value. For example, in the special symbol normal process executed in step S110 of the special symbol process process, it is only necessary to be able to change the jackpot winning probability (ball-out rate) by using the display result determination table according to the set value. The set value is composed of 6 levels from 1 to 6, 6 is the highest jackpot probability, and the smaller the set value is in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the jackpot probability is. In this way, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the set value becomes smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage becomes gradually lower. On the other hand, when the set value is 6 which is the largest, the advantage is the lowest and disadvantageous for the game side, and the smaller the set value is in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is the advantage for the game side. Becomes higher. The payout rate may be changed by changing the jackpot probability according to the set value, and the jackpot probability is constant regardless of the set value, but the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state depends on the set value. The payout rate may be changed by the change. The information on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is transmitted from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side as a set value designation command. On the side of the effect control board 12, the set value data indicating the set value specified by the received set value designation command may be stored in the set value data storage unit of the RAM 122. As a result, the effect control CPU 120 can easily recognize the current set value.

When the setting value is 1, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the determination value in the range of 1020 to 1224 is assigned to the "big hit", and when the gaming state is the probability changing state. The determination value in the range of 1024 to 1456 is assigned to the "big hit". In the case where the setting value is 2, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the determination value in the range of 1020 to 1237 is assigned to the "big hit", and when the game state is the probability changing state. The determination value in the range of 1020 to 1484 is assigned to the "big hit". In the case where the setting value is 3, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the determination value in the range of 1020 to 1253 is assigned to "big hit", and when the gaming state is the probability changing state. The determination value in the range of 1020 to 1518 is assigned to the "big hit". In the case where the setting value is 4, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the determination value in the range of 1020-1271 is assigned to the "big hit", and when the gaming state is the probability changing state. The determination value in the range of 1020 to 1556 is assigned to the "big hit". When the setting value is 5, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the determination value in the range of 1020 to 1292 is assigned to "big hit", and when the gaming state is the probability changing state The determination value in the range of 1024 to 1601 is assigned to the "big hit". In the case where the setting value is 6, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the determination value in the range of 1020 to 1317 is assigned to the "big hit", and when the gaming state is the probability changing state. The determination value in the range of 1020 to 1654 is assigned to the "big hit". All determination values other than the numerical value assigned to "big hit" are assigned to "miss".

By assigning the determination value in such a display result determination table, the lottery probability in the jackpot lottery changes according to the set value and the game state. For example, in the case where the set value is 1, in the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the lottery result is “big jackpot” with a probability of 1/320 and the lottery with a probability of 319/320. The result is "miss". In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the probability change state among the setting values of 1, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/150, and the lottery result is “loose” with a probability of 149/150. Will be In the case where the setting value is 2, in the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/301, and the lottery result with a probability of 300/301 Is the "miss". In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the probability change state among the set value of 2, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/141, and the lottery result is “loose” with a probability of 140/141. Will be In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state among the setting values of 3, the lottery result is “big jackpot” with a probability of 1/280 and the lottery result with a probability of 279/280. Is the "miss". In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the probability change state among the setting value of 3, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/131, and the lottery result is “miss” with a probability of 130/131. Will be In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state among the setting values of 4, the lottery result is “big jackpot” with a probability of 1/260 and the lottery result with a probability of 259/260. Is the "miss". In the case where the setting value is 4, in the jackpot lottery that is performed when the gaming state is the probability change state, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/122, and the lottery result is “miss with a probability of 121/122. Will be In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state among the setting values of 5, the lottery result is “big jackpot” with a probability of 1/240 and the lottery result with a probability of 239/240. Is the "miss". In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the probability change state among the set value of 5, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/113, and the lottery result is “miss with a probability of 112/113. Will be In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state among the setting values of 6, the lottery result is “big jackpot” with a probability of 1/220 and the lottery result with a probability of 219/220. Is the "miss". In the jackpot lottery that is performed when the game state is the probability change state among the set value of 6, the lottery result is “big hit” with a probability of 1/103, and the lottery result is “loose” with a probability of 102/103. Will be

FIG. 22-4 shows a configuration example of a jackpot type determination table 80AKT21 used for determining a jackpot type for the characteristic units 80AK and 81AK. In the jackpot type determination table 80AKT21, a determination value that is compared with a random number value for jackpot type determination is assigned to the jackpot type determination result, so that one of the jackpot types is selected from a plurality of jackpot types at a predetermined ratio. Alternatively, it is won or decided. In the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK, a big hit 80AKA and a big hit 80AKB are provided as a plurality of big hit types. The big hit types of the big hit 80 AKA and the big hit 80 AKB may be determined at a common ratio regardless of whether the first special drawing and the second special drawing are distinguished or whether time saving control is performed. For example, as a result of the special drawing game, the proportion (decision rate) of winning the big hit 80 AKA is set to 80/100 (=80%), and the proportion (decision rate) of winning the big hit 80 AKB is 20/100 (=20%) Is set to.

When the big hit 80 AKA is won, after the big hit game state ends, after the big hit ends, the probability variation control is performed and the time saving control is performed. When the big hit 80 AKB is won, a low probability high base state in which the probability variation control is not performed and the time saving control is performed after the big hit is over. In this way, the big hit 80 AKA and the big hit 80 AKB are different from each other in the big hit after-game state which is a game state controlled after the big hit ends.

FIG. 22-5 shows a setting example and an execution example of lottery related to the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK, such as a falling lottery that is a probability variation falling lottery and a big hit lottery. 22-5(A) shows a lottery setting example, and FIG. 22-5(B) shows a lottery execution example. The characteristic portions 80AK and 81AK can execute a falling lottery and a jackpot lottery, which correspond to the probability drawing falling lottery corresponding to each special drawing game. However, since it is not necessary to execute the falling lottery after the high-precision state ends, only the jackpot lottery is performed.

As shown in FIG. 22-5(A), in the probability variation falling lottery, the lottery result is “falling winning” at the probability A1, and the lottery result is “falling non-winning” at the probability A2. When the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is “falling winning”, the probability variation control is terminated to end the highly accurate state and become the low probability state. In the jackpot lottery, if the probability is low when the probability variation control is not performed and the probability is low, the lottery result is "big hit" with probability B01, and the lottery result is "miss" with probability B02. In the jackpot lottery, if the probability is high that the probability variation control is being performed, the lottery result is "big hit" with probability B11, and the lottery result is "miss" with probability B12.

For example, when the probability variation fall lottery is performed with reference to the probability variation fall determination table 80AKT01 shown in FIG. 22-2, the probability A1 that the lottery result is “fall prize” is 1/350, and the lottery result is “fall not The probability A2 of winning is 349/350. With reference to the first special figure display result determination table 80AKT11 shown in FIG. 22-3(A) and the second special figure display result determination table 80AKT12 shown in FIG. As a result, when the set value is 1, the probability B01 that the lottery result is a “big hit” when the probability is low is 1/320, and the probability B02 when the lottery result is “miss” when the probability is low is 319/ On the other hand, while the probability is 320, the probability B11 that the lottery result is “big hit” at the time of high accuracy is 1/150, and the probability B12 that the lottery result is “miss” at the time of high accuracy is 149/150.

At the time of high accuracy in which the probability variation control is performed in the high accuracy state, the probability variation falling lottery may be performed before the jackpot lottery, corresponding to each special drawing game. For example, when the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is in the high accuracy and high base state when the Nth special drawing game is executed, the probability variation fall lottery results in a lottery result with probability A1 and a lottery result with probability A2. Will be "falling non-winning". At this time, if the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery is "falling winning", the lottery result is "big hit" with the probability B01 at the time of low probability in the big hit lottery, and the lottery result is "miss" with the probability B02. On the other hand, if the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery is “falling non-win”, in the big hit lottery, the lottery result is “big hit” with the probability B11 at the time of high probability, and the lottery result is “miss” with the probability B12. When the lottery result is “big hit” in the big hit lottery, the display result is “big hit” and the big hit game state is controlled again. Therefore, the N+1 th special figure game after the big hit is not executed. When the lottery result is “miss” in the jackpot lottery, the special figure game with the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is N+1 is executed.

When the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the Nth special drawing game is “falling winning”, when the N+1th special drawing game is executed, the high-precision state has already ended and the low probability has been reached. Since it is controlled to be in a certain state, the certainty variation falling lottery is not performed. In this case, in the big hit lottery, the lottery result is “big hit” with the probability B01 of low probability and the lottery result is “miss” with the probability B02. When the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the Nth special drawing game is "falling non-winning", it is controlled to the highly accurate high base state even when the N+1th special drawing game is executed. Therefore, a certainty change fall lottery is held. In this probability variation falling lottery as well, as in the Nth special drawing game, the lottery result becomes “falling winning” with probability A1 and the lottery result becomes “falling non-winning” with probability A2. If the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery is "falling winning", the lottery result is "big hit" with the probability B01 at the time of low probability in the big hit lottery, and the lottery result is "miss" with the probability B02. If the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery is "falling non-winning", the lottery result is "big hit" with the probability B11 at the time of high probability in the jackpot lottery, and the lottery result is "miss" with the probability B12.

In this way, in the case of the high-probability-high base state, the falling lottery, which is the probability variation falling lottery, and the jackpot lottery are sequentially performed, corresponding to each special drawing game. On the other hand, when the high-accuracy state ends and the low-accuracy high-base state or the low-accuracy low-base state is reached, the jackpot lottery is performed without the falling lottery. Therefore, when the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is in the high-accuracy and high-base state when the N-th special-drawing game is executed, the probability that the display result of this special-drawing game will be a "big hit", The probability that the display result is "big hit" in the special figure game is calculated by using the probability A1 and the probability A2 in the probability variation falling lottery, the probability B01 and the probability B02 at the time of the low probability in the jackpot drawing, and the probability B11 and the probability B12 at the time of the high probability. , Can be calculated. For example, in response to the Nth special drawing game, the probability that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is “falling win” and the lottery result of the big hit lottery is “big hit” is low with probability A1 of “falling win”. Since it is only necessary to multiply by the "big hit" probability B01, it can be calculated by A1 x B01. Corresponding to the Nth special drawing game, the probability that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is "falling non-winning" and the lottery result of the big hit lottery is "big hit" is high with the probability A2 of "falling non-winning". Since it is only necessary to multiply by the probability of “big hit” B11 at a certain time, it is possible to calculate by A2×B11.

In the (N+1)th special drawing game, it is necessary to consider whether the lottery result in the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the Nth special drawing game is “falling winning” or “falling non-winning”. It is also necessary to consider that the N+1th special drawing game is executed only when the lottery result in the big hit lottery corresponding to the Nth special drawing game is “miss”. In this way, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is "falling win" and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is "missing" corresponding to the Nth special drawing game, and the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the N+1th special drawing game is performed. The probability that the lottery result of the big hit lottery will be a "big hit" without fail is to multiply the probability "A1" of "falling prize" by the probability "B02" of "miss" when the probability is low and the probability B01 of "big hit" when the probability is low. , A1×B02×B01 (=A1×B01×B02). Corresponding to the Nth special drawing game, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is "falling non-winning" and the lottery result of the jackpot drawing is "miss", and the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the N+1th special drawing game Is a "falling win" and the result of the big hit lottery is "big hit", the probability A2 of "falling non-win" and the probability A1 of "falling win" and the probability B01 of "big hit" when the probability is low are multiplied. Therefore, it can be calculated by A2×A1×B01 (=A1×A2×B01). Corresponding to the Nth special drawing game, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is "falling non-winning" and the lottery result of the jackpot drawing is "miss", and the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the N+1th special drawing game Is a "falling non-winning" and the result of the big hit lottery is "big hit", the probability of "falling non-winning" is A2 squared and the probability of "miss" B12 at high accuracy and "big hit" at high accuracy. Since it is only necessary to multiply by the probability B11, it is possible to calculate by A2 ² ×B12×B11 (=A2 ² ×B11×B12).

FIG. 22-6 shows a configuration example of a variation pattern regarding the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK. These variation patterns may be prepared in advance so that they can be used in place of some or all of the variation patterns in the above-described embodiment, or together with some or all of the variation patterns in the above-described embodiment. .. The plurality of fluctuation patterns differ in the manner in which the special figure fluctuation time and the variable display of the decorative pattern are changed. The special figure variation time is the time required from the start of the variable display of the special symbol to the stop display of the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game. The plurality of variation patterns regarding the characteristic portions 80AK and 81AK include a variation pattern corresponding to any of "non-reach (miss)", "reach (miss)", and "reach (big hit)". The variation pattern corresponding to “non-reach (miss)” is a variable display of the decorative design because the fixed display of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed without the reach display mode of the variable display of the decorative design. It is used when the display result is "non-reach lost". The variation pattern corresponding to "reach (miss)" is that the fixed decorative pattern of the reach combination which is not the jackpot combination is stopped and displayed after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, so that the decorative pattern can be changed. It is used when the display result of the display is "reach lost". The variation pattern corresponding to "reach (big hit)" is the display result of the variable display of the decorative design by the fixed decorative design of the big hit combination being stopped and displayed after the form of the variable display of the decorative design becomes the reach mode. Used when is a "big hit".

Among a plurality of fluctuation patterns, a fluctuation pattern corresponding to "non-reach (miss)" is a non-reach fluctuation pattern, a fluctuation pattern corresponding to "reach (miss)" is a reach fluctuation pattern, and a "reach (big hit)" The variation pattern corresponding to "is a jackpot variation pattern. The non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are also collectively referred to as a loss variation pattern. The reach variation pattern and the big hit variation pattern include a variation pattern of normal reach and a variation pattern of super reach. In the variation pattern of the normal reach, the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed after the reach effect that becomes the normal reach is executed. In the variation pattern of the super reach, the reach effect that becomes the normal reach is executed, and then the reach effect that becomes the super reach is developed, and after the reach effect that becomes the super reach is executed, the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed. Reach effects that are super reach include SP reach A and SP reach B reach effects that are different from each other. The reach effect is, for example, a display of an effect image showing a character or the like, an output of a sound showing a sound effect or a music, an output of lighting of a decorative light emitting body, an operation mode by the movable body 32, or a part or all of these. It suffices if the production mode can be changed so that the player can recognize different story developments and the like depending on the combination.

In the reach effect of SP reach A, a battle effect in which an ally character fights with an enemy character is performed, and when the effect result is to inform that the battle will continue, and when the ally character has won the battle In some cases, the result may be a result. For example, when the display result of the variable display is “miss”, when the reach effect of SP reach A is executed, the fact that the battle continues will be notified by the effect result. When the display result of the variable display is “big hit”, when the reach effect of SP reach A is executed, the fact that the teammate character has won the battle is informed by the effect result. The variation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4 are used when the display result of the variable display corresponds to “miss” and becomes a production result informing that the battle will continue in the reach production of SP reach A. The variation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4 correspond to the “big hit” in the variable display, and when the reach effect of SP reach A is the effect result of notifying that the teammate character has won the battle. Used. It should be noted that the variation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4 or the variation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4 are common in the reach effect of the SP reach A corresponding to each, for example, the display mode of the characters that appear is partially different. It is only necessary to change a part of the production mode and the like within the range in which the player can recognize the story development. In this way, the reach effect of the SP reach A is advantageous for the player to be informed based on the display result of the variable display and the variation pattern, and the display result becomes "big hit" and is controlled to the big hit game state. , It is possible to inform by the effect result.

In the reach effect of SP reach B, a battle effect in which an ally character fights with an enemy character is performed, resulting in an effect that informs that the ally character has lost the battle, and when the ally character wins the battle. There may be a case where a result of notifying that the action has been performed is obtained. For example, when the display result of the variable display is “miss”, when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, the fact that the teammate character has lost the battle is informed by the effect result. When the display result of the variable display is “big hit”, when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, the fact that the teammate character has won the battle is informed by the effect result. The variation patterns 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7 are used when the display result of the variable display corresponds to "miss" and becomes the effect result informing that the teammate character has been defeated in the reach effect of SP reach B. .. The variation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7 correspond to the "big hit" in the variable display, and when the reach effect of SP reach B is the effect result of notifying that the ally character has won the battle. Used. The variation patterns 80PA2-5-80PA2-7 or the variation patterns 80PA3-5-80PA3-7 are common in the reach effect of the SP reach B corresponding to each, for example, the display mode of the appearing characters is partially different. As long as the player can recognize the story development of (1), a part of the presentation mode and the like may be changed. In this way, the reach effect of SP reach B is advantageous for the player to be informed based on the display result of the variable display and the variation pattern, and the display result becomes "big hit" and is controlled to the big hit game state. , It is possible to inform by the effect result.

In the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK, a trial effect can be executed during variable display as an effect different from the reach effect. The trial production is executed in response to the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th, and the time saving control and the high base control associated with the probability variation control are continued even in the period in which the special drawing game is executed 101st or later. It is a production that can suggest whether or not to be performed. As described above, the trial effect may be an effect that can indicate whether or not the highly accurate and high base state will continue or an effect that can indicate whether or not the high base state will end. The trial production includes a case where the character is a lottery pulling lottery lottery, and the lottery pulling result is a result of notifying one of “failure”, “success”, and “winning”. In the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is from the first time to the 100th time, in the case of the certainty change fall in which the lottery result of the certainty change fall lottery corresponding to one of the special figure games is “fall fall win”, Since the probability variation control is completed by the time the 100th special drawing game ends, the high base state ends and the low accuracy low base state is set during the period during which the 101st special drawing game is executed High base state does not continue. On the other hand, in the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is from the 1st to the 100th time, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to all the special drawing games is “falling non-win” In this case, since the probability variation control continues even after the 100th special drawing game ends, the high base state does not end even during the 101st and later special drawing games being executed, and the high accurate high base The state continues.

Corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th, for example, in the case where the display result of the variable display is “miss”, the high accuracy is high in the period in which the special figure game after the 101st time is executed. When the trial effect is executed in the case where the base state does not continue and there is a probability change fall, "failure" is notified as the result of the lottery drawing based on the effect result. Alternatively, in the case where the display result of the variable display is “miss” corresponding to the 100th special drawing game, the high-precision high-base state continues even during the 101st and subsequent special drawing games being executed. When there is no fall and the trial effect is executed, "success" is notified as the result of the lottery drawing based on the effect result. Further, in the case where the display result of the variable display is “miss” in correspondence with the 100th special drawing game, when the trial effect is executed in the case of “with big jackpot pending”, a lottery is drawn according to the effect result. As a result, the "winning" is notified. When the special figure game whose execution determination is “big hit” is included in the special figure games that are held pending, the “big hit pending” is set. On the other hand, in the case where the display result of the variable display is "big hit" corresponding to the 100th special drawing game, when the trial effect is executed, the revival effect or the development effect is executed, and " It may be announced that it will be a "big hit".

In the variation pattern 80PB2-1, the display result of the variable display is “miss”, and the time saving control and the high base control associated with the probability variation control are not performed in the period in which the special figure game after the 101st time is executed. Corresponding to the above, it is used when the result of pulling a lottery is the result of notifying that the result is "failure" in the trial effect. The variation pattern 80PB2-2 is that the display result of the variable display is “miss”, and that the time saving control and the high base control associated with the probability variation control are performed even during the 101st and later special figure games are executed. Correspondingly, it is used when the result of pulling a lottery is a success result informing that the result is "success" in the trial effect. The variation pattern 80PB2-3 is an effect that indicates that the display result of the variable display is "miss" and that the result of the lottery drawing is "winning" in the trial effect in response to "the big hit is held". Used when results are obtained. In the variation pattern PB3-1, in response to the display result of the variable display being “big hit”, after the notification that the result of the lottery drawing is “failure” in the trial production, the revival production is performed. It is used in the case of an effect result informing that a "big hit" will be made. In the variation pattern PB3-2, in response to the display result of the variable display being “big hit”, after the notification that the result of the lottery drawing is “success” in the trial production, the development production is performed “ It is used in the case of an effect result informing that a "big hit" will be made. The trial effect is advantageous to the player who is informed based on the display result of the variable display and the variation pattern, and is accompanied by the probability variation control even during the period in which the special figure game in which the variation number after the jackpot is 101st is performed is executed. It is possible to notify by the effect result that time saving control or high base control is performed and the high accurate high base state continues.

In the variation pattern PB3-1 and the variation pattern PB3-2, the result of the lottery drawing is “failure”, “success”, and “winning” in the trial production in response to the display result of the variable display being “big hit”. May notify that the results are different. For example, by notifying that the result of lottery drawing is one or more star marks in the trial production, or notifying that it is a predetermined character, it is possible to obtain a "big hit" depending on the production result. You may notify. In this way, the trial effect is a content common to the reach effect of SP reach A and the reach effect of SP reach B, which is advantageous for the player to be notified based on the display result of the variable display and the variation pattern. It is possible to inform that the result is "big hit" and is controlled in the big hit game state by the result of the effect, and the high-precision high base state that is the content different from the reach effect of SP reach A and the reach effect of SP reach B It may be possible to notify the continuation by the effect result. Alternatively, the trial effect has contents common to the reach effect of SP reach A and the reach effect of SP reach B, which is advantageous for the player to be notified based on the display result of the variable display and the variation pattern. The fact that the "big hit" and the big hit game state will be controlled will not be notified by the effect result, but the high-precision high base state, which is different from the SP reach A reach effect or SP reach B reach effect, will continue. May be notified based on the effect result. The trial production is not limited to one that can be notified of "failure", "success", or "winning" as a result of lottery drawing according to the production result, and any character, number, symbol, pattern, character, meter, The player may be notified of the effect result by using other figures or the like.

FIG. 22-7 shows a configuration example of the variation pattern determination table regarding the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK. In this configuration example, as the variation pattern determination table, table 81AKT01 shown in FIG. 22-7(A1), table 81AKT02 shown in FIG. 22-7(A2), table 81AKT11 shown in FIG. 22-7(B1), FIG. 22(C2), table 81AKT21 shown in FIG. 22-7(C1), table 81AKT22 shown in FIG. 22-7(C2), table 81AKT23 shown in FIG. 22-7(C3), FIG. A plurality of tables such as a table 81AKT24 shown in C4), a table 81AKT31 shown in FIG. 22-7(D1), a table 81AKT32 shown in FIG. 22-7(D2), and a table 81AKT33 shown in FIG. 22-7(D3) are prepared in advance. It should have been done. In the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process, the variation pattern is determined by using the variation pattern determination table selected based on the game state and the display result of the variable display. When determining the fluctuation pattern, the numerical data indicating the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern is read from the fluctuation random number buffer. The random number buffer for fluctuation can store the random number value extracted when the start winning determination process is executed in step S101 of the special symbol process process. The CPU 103 of the game controlling microcomputer 100 compares the random number value for fluctuation pattern determination read from the random number buffer for fluctuation with a determination value preset in the selected fluctuation pattern determination table. Then, in the range of the determination value assigned to each variation pattern, the variation pattern as the usage pattern is determined according to the determination result of which range includes the random value for determining the variation pattern. It should be noted that it may be determined by a process different from the determination of the variation pattern whether or not the reach mode is set in the case of “miss”.

FIG. 22-8 shows an example of selective setting of the variation pattern determination table regarding the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK. In this selection setting example, different variation pattern determination tables can be selected according to selection conditions such as a game state and a display result of variable display. The selection conditions are "low-probability low base state/miss", "low-probability low base state/big hit", "1-99th after losing big hit/miss", "1-99th after finishing big hit/big hit", "big hit" 100th after the end/probable loss of falling hits”, “100th after end of big hit/no falling sure loss of hits”, “100th after end of big hit/with loss big hit pending”, “100th/big hit after end of big hit”, “end of big hit” It includes "the 101st time afterward/no loss of confirmed loss of chance", "101st time after the end of jackpot/at the time of lost confirmed variation of loss", and "the 101st time after completion of jackpot/big hit".

In the selection conditions of the fluctuation pattern determination table, the selection condition of “low-probability low base state/miss” is satisfied when the gaming state is the low-probability low base state and the display result is “miss”. The selection condition of “low-probability low base state/big hit” is satisfied when the gaming state is the low-probability low base state and the display result is “big hit”. In this way, the selection conditions of "low-probability low base state/miss" and "low-probability low base state/big hit" can be established when the gaming state is the low-probability low base state.

In the selection condition of the fluctuation pattern determination table, the selection condition of "1 to 99th after the big hit/miss" corresponds to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 1 to 99th, and the gaming state is highly accurate. It is established when the display result of the variable display is "miss" in the high base state or the low accurate high base state. The selection condition of "1 to 99th after the big hit/big hit" corresponds to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 1 to 99th, and the game state is a high-accuracy high base state or a low-accuracy high base state. It holds when the display result of the variable display is "big hit". In this way, the selection conditions of “1 to 99th after big hit/miss” and “1 to 99th after big hit/big hit” correspond to special figure games in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 1 to 99th. Thus, it can be established when the game state is the high-accuracy high-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state.

In the selection condition of the variation pattern determination table, the selection condition of “100th after the big hit ends/with loss probability variation drop” corresponds to the special figure game in which the number of changes after the big hit is 100th, is already selected in the probability variation fall lottery. It is established when the game state is the low-probability-high base state and the display result of the variable display is “miss” because it has become “falling winning”. The selection condition of "100th after the big hit / No loss of probability of loss" is that the number of fluctuations after the big hit corresponds to the 100th special map game, and it is not yet a "fall win" in the certainty change fall lottery. It is established when the gaming state is the highly accurate and high base state and the display result of the variable display is "miss". The selection condition of "100th time after the big hit/Loss big hit is held" corresponds to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 100th, and the winning determination result shown in the hold data of the special figure game is " Applies when "big hit" is included. In addition, the selection condition of "100th after big hit/with loss big hit pending" is more than the selection condition of "100th after big hit/with sure loss of fall" and "100th after big hit/no loss of sure loss of hit" It is sufficient if it can be established with priority. The selection condition of “100th after big hit/big hit” is satisfied when the display result of the variable display is “big hit” corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 100th. In this way, "100 times after the big hit ends/probable loss of falling hits", "100 times after the end of big hits/no sure loss of falling hits", "100 times after the end of big hits/with loss of big hits", and "100 times after end of big hits" The selection condition of "/big hit" can be established corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of changes after the big hit is 100th. At this time, the gaming state is a high-probability high base state or a low-probability high base state.

In the selection conditions of the fluctuation pattern determination table, the selection condition of “101th time after the big hit end/no loss of probability variation falling” corresponds to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is the 101st time or later It is established when the lottery result is “falling non-win” and the variable display result is “miss”. The selection condition of "101 or more after the big hit / loss probability variation change winning" is that the lottery result of the probability variation fall lottery is "falling winning" corresponding to the special figure game where the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 101st or later Yes Applies when the display result of variable display is "miss". The selection condition of “101st time after the big hit ends/big hit” is satisfied when the display result of the variable display is “big hit” corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit ends is the 101st time and thereafter. In the case where the game state is a low-probability low-base state because the time saving control and the high base control accompanying the probability variation control have already ended when the special figure game with the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 101 is executed. In this case, the selection condition of "low-probability low base state/miss" or "low-probability low base state/big hit" can be satisfied, and the corresponding selection condition may not be satisfied after the end of the big hit. In this way, the selection conditions of "101st time after the big hit end/No loss of probability loss after falling", "101st time after the end of big hit/At the time of loss sure variation of loss" and "101th time after the end of big hit/Big hit" are Corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of subsequent fluctuations is the 101st time or later, the game state can be established when the gaming state is the highly accurate and high base state.

In the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process, the variation pattern is determined by selecting the table 81AKT01 when the selection condition of "low accurate low base state/miss" is satisfied. At this time, one of the fluctuation patterns 80PA1-1 to 80PA1-3 is determined at a determination ratio of 71/100. The determination rate of each of the fluctuation patterns 80PA1-1 to 80PA1-3 is different depending on the number of reserved memories of the special figure game, but the sum of these determination rates may be 71/100. When the selection condition of "low accurate low base state/big hit" is satisfied, the table 81AKT02 is selected to determine the variation pattern. In this way, when the gaming state is the low-probability low-base state, different tables can be used to determine the variation pattern depending on whether the display result is “miss” or “big hit”.

In the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process, the table 81AKT11 is selected and the variation pattern is determined when the selection condition of "1-99th after losing the big hit/miss" is satisfied. At this time, the variation patterns 80PB1-1 and 80PB1-2 are determined at a determination rate of 77/100. The determination rate of each of the fluctuation patterns 80PB1-1 and 80PB1-2 is different depending on the number of reserved memories of the special figure game, but the sum of these determination rates may be 77/100. When the selection condition of "1 to 99th after the end of big hit/big hit" is satisfied, the table 81AKT12 is selected to determine the variation pattern. In this way, when the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state in correspondence with the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is from the first time to the 99th time, the display result is "miss". Different patterns can be used to determine the variation pattern depending on whether the result is a “big hit” or a “big hit”.

When the table 81AKT11 is selected, the variation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4 each have a determination ratio of 1/100. When the table 81AKT12 is selected, the variation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4 each have a determination ratio of 33/100. If any of the fluctuation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4 is determined, the result of notifying that the battle will continue in the reach effect of SP reach A is the result. When any of the variation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4 is determined, in the reach effect of SP reach A, the effect result is that the teammate character wins the battle. Therefore, when the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state, the display result is "missed", corresponding to the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is over is from the first time to the 99th time. The reach effect of SP reach A can be executed at a predetermined ratio according to whether or not it is a "big hit". At this time, when the reach effect of SP reach A is executed, the proportion of whether to notify that the battle will continue or to notify that the teammate character has won the battle, depending on the effect result, is determined in the jackpot lottery. It can be calculated based on the probability that the lottery result is “miss” or “big hit” and the determination rate of the variation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4 or the variation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4.

In the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process, when the selection condition of "100th time after jackpot end/presence of loss of probability variation falling" is satisfied, the table 81AKT21 is selected to determine the variation pattern. .. When the selection condition of “100th time after the big hit ends/probability of loss of change without falling” is satisfied, the table 81AKT22 is selected to determine the variation pattern. When the selection condition of "100th time after the big hit/Loss big hit is held" is satisfied, the table 81AKT23 is selected to determine the variation pattern. When the selection condition of "100th time after the big hit/big hit" is satisfied, the table 81AKT24 is selected to determine the variation pattern. As described above, when the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is finished is the 100th, in addition to whether the display result is “Loss” or “Big hit”, “Probable variation It is possible to determine the variation pattern using different tables depending on whether "there is a fall", "the probability change is no fall", or "the big hit is held".

When the table 81AKT21 is selected, the determination rate of the variation pattern 80PB2-1 is 100/100, so that only the variation pattern 80PB2-1 can be determined. When the table 81AKT22 is selected, the determination rate of the variation pattern 80PB2-2 is 100/100, so only the variation pattern 80PB2-2 can be determined. When the table 81AKT23 is selected, the determination rate of the variation pattern 80PB2-3 is 100/100, so only the variation pattern PB2-3 can be determined. When the variation pattern 80PB2-1 is determined, the result is a notification indicating "failure" as a result of the lottery drawing in the trial effect. When the change pattern PB2-2 is determined, the result is a notification indicating "success" as the result of the lottery drawing in the trial effect. When the variation pattern PB2-3 is determined, the result is the result of notifying "winning" as the result of lottery drawing in the trial effect. Therefore, when the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th corresponding to the special drawing game and the display result is “miss”, it depends on whether or not the high-accuracy base state continues and whether or not the jackpot is held. It is possible to execute a trial production that is a production result. In this case, when the trial production is executed, depending on the production result, the ratio of notifying "failure" or "success" as the result of the lottery draw is determined by the lottery probability and the jackpot lottery of the probability falling lottery. It can be calculated based on the lottery probability of.

In the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process, when the selection condition of "101th time after the end of the big hit / no loss probability variation fall" is satisfied, the table 81AKT31 is selected to determine the variation pattern. To do. At this time, the variation patterns 80PB1-1 and 80PB1-3 are determined at a determination ratio of 100/100. The determination rate of each of the variation patterns 80PB1-1 and 80PB1-3 is different depending on the number of reserved memories of the special figure game, but the sum of these determination rates may be 100/100. When the selection condition "101st time after the jackpot is over/At the time of losing probability variation fall win" is satisfied, the table 81AKT32 is selected to determine the variation pattern. When the selection condition “101st time after the big hit ends/big hit” is satisfied, the table 81AKT33 is selected to determine the variation pattern. In this way, whether the display result is “miss” or “big hit” when the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 101st or later. In addition, in the case of “miss”, different patterns can be used to determine the variation pattern depending on whether “no sure change fall” or “when certain change fall win”.

When the table 81AKT32 is selected, the determination rate of the variation patterns 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7 becomes 100/100 in total, and therefore it is possible to determine any of the variation patterns 80PA2 to 80PA2-7. When the table 81AKT33 is selected, the determination rate of the variation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7 becomes 100/100 in total, so that it is possible to determine any of the variation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7. When any of the variation patterns 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7 is determined, the result is a notification that the teammate character has lost the battle in the reach effect of SP reach B. When any of the fluctuation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7 is determined, in the reach effect of SP reach B, the effect result is that the teammate character wins the battle. Therefore, when the gaming state is the highly accurate and high base state, corresponding to the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 101st or later, the lottery result of the sure variation fall lottery is “fall fall win” and the display result is “miss”. ", or the display result becomes "big hit" regardless of the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery, the reach effect of SP reach B can be executed. At this time, when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, depending on the effect result, it is notified that the teammate character has lost the battle or that the teammate character has won the battle. Can be calculated based on the probability that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery will be "falling win" and the probability that the lottery result of jackpot drawing will be "big hit".

The average variable display time is compared for the period during which the special figure game with the first to 99th variation times after the jackpot is finished and the period during which the special figure game with 101 or more variations is executed. .. For example, when the table 81AKT11 is selected because the selection condition of “1 to 99th after big hit/miss” is satisfied, the determination ratio of the fluctuation patterns 80PB1-1 and 80PB1-2 becomes 77/100. On the other hand, when the table 81AKT31 is selected because the selection condition of “101st time after the end of a big hit/no loss of probability variation falling” is satisfied, the determination ratio of the fluctuation patterns 80PB1-1 and 80PB1-3 is 100/. It becomes 100. The special figure fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern 80PB1-2 is 4500 ms (milliseconds), and the special figure fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern 80PB1-3 is 2000 ms (milliseconds). By setting the determination ratio of such a variation pattern and the setting of the special figure variation time, the number of variations after the big hit is 101st compared with the period in which the special figure game is executed from the first to the 99th variation after the big hit. The average variable display time can be shortened during the subsequent special drawing game execution period. In this way, when the table 81AKT31 is selected, the variable display can be executed so that the ratio of the variable display for a short period of time is executed is high. Therefore, by promoting the game, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the entertainment of the game.

FIG. 22-9 shows a configuration example of the hold determination result storage unit 80AKM01 regarding the characteristic units 80AK and 81AK. The hold determination result storage unit 80AKM01 may be provided in, for example, a predetermined area of the RAM 122 (effect control buffer setting unit or the like). The suspension determination result storage unit 80AKM01 shows the determination result corresponding to each special figure game when the execution of the first special figure game is suspended or when the execution of the second special figure game is suspended. The data is stored. The storage data of the suspension determination result storage unit 80AKM01 constitutes suspension information by storing information regarding variable display. As the hold determination result storage unit 80AKM01, a first hold determination result storage unit corresponding to the first special figure game and a second hold determination result storage unit corresponding to the second special figure game may be provided. In the hold determination result storage unit 80AKM01, for example, a storage area for storing data indicating the winning determination result can be specified in association with the hold number of the special drawing game.

The winning determination result that can be specified by the storage data of the suspension determination result storage unit 80AKM01 indicates the determination result of the prefetch determination that is the notification content of the winning determination result command. The winning determination result specified based on the winning determination result command includes "big hit", "super-reach determination at loss", "reach determination at loss", "general at loss". When the prize-winning determination result of “big hit” is notified by the prize-winning determination result command, it is specified that the display result of the variable display that is the determination target is “big hit”. If any of the following results is displayed by the prize-winning judgment result command: "Super reach at loss", "Reach at loss", or "General at loss", the display result of the variable display that is the judgment target is Is to be specified.

22-10 is a flowchart showing an example of post-big hit production control processing that can be executed by the CPU 120 for production control. The post-big hit production control process may be executed each time the timer interrupt flag is turned on in the production control main process, for example. In the big hit after-effect control process, it is determined whether or not the big hit is over (step 80AKS11). For example, in the case where the ending effect process is executed in step S177 of the effect control process process, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", which corresponds to the end of the big hit in step 80AKS11. It may be determined that.

When it is determined in step 80AKS11 that the jackpot is over (step 80AKS11; Yes), the start of the first battle period is set (step 80AKS12), and then the jackpot post-production control process is ended. The first battle period corresponds to a period in which the special figure game is executed from the first to the 99th variation after the jackpot. In step 80AKS12, in response to the first battle period, the background image prepared in advance, the sound output as BGM, the lighting output of the decorative light-emitting body, the operation mode by the movable body 32, or one of these is displayed. It suffices that the effect mode is set, such as a combination of all or all parts. Further, a fluctuation counter for counting the number of fluctuations after the end of the big hit may be initialized. The first battle period flag that can identify the first battle period may be set to ON.

Since the first battle period corresponds to the period in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is finished is from the first to the 99th special figure game, the variation pattern of step S111 in the special symbol process processing during the first battle period. When the setting process is executed, the selection condition of "1-99th after big hit/lost" or "1-99th after big hit/big hit" is satisfied. As a result, the table 81AKT11 or the table 81AKT12 is selected as the variation pattern determination table. In this case, within the range of the first battle period, the reach effect of SP reach A can be executed at a predetermined rate, while the limit effect is set so as not to execute the reach effect of SP reach B. .

When it is determined in step 80AKS11 that the jackpot is not over (step 80AKS11; No), it is determined whether or not it is the first battle period (step 80AKS13). For example, when the first battle period flag is ON, it may be determined that it is the first battle period. In the case of the first battle period (step 80AKS13; Yes), it is determined whether or not the variable display is started corresponding to the 100th special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is over (step 80AKS14). .. For example, it may be determined based on the stored value of the fluctuation counter whether or not the variable display is the 100th variable display.

When it is determined in step 80AKS14 that the 100th variable display is not started (step 80AKS14; No), the jackpot post-production control process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 100th variable display is started (step 80AKS14; Yes), the trial effect start setting is performed (step 80AKS15), and then the jackpot effect control process is ended. In step 80AKS15, for example, the control data of the effect control pattern corresponding to the variation pattern is read, the effect image is displayed according to the read data, the sound that is the sound effect is output, the lighting of the decorative light emitter is output, and the operation of the movable body 32 is performed. The effect mode may be set, such as the above mode, or a combination of some or all of these modes. Thus, during the trial production, the player may be able to recognize a production mode different from the first battle period. Further, the fluctuation counter and the first battle period flag may be cleared and the first battle period flag may be set to OFF. The trial effect flag, which can specify that the trial effect is being executed, may be set to ON.

The period in which the trial effect is executed corresponds to the period in which the special figure game having the 100th variation after the big hit is executed. When the variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed in the special symbol process process corresponding to the 100th special drawing game, "100th time after the big hit end/probability of loss of loss", "100th time after the big hit end/ Any of the selection conditions of "no loss of probability of loss of change, falling", "100th time after completion of big hit/retention of big hit loss", "100th time after completion of big hit/big hit" is satisfied. As a result, one of the tables 81AKT21 to 81AKT24 is selected as the variation pattern determination table. In this case, the trial effect can be executed within a range in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th, while the limit restriction is set so that the reach effect of SP reach A or SP reach B is not executed. Be done.

When it is determined in step 80AKS13 that it is not the first battle period (step 80AKS13; No), it is determined whether or not the trial production is in progress (step 80AKS16). For example, when the trial effect flag is ON, it may be determined that the trial effect is being performed. When the trial effect is being performed (step 80AKS16; Yes), it is determined whether or not the trial result indicating the "success" as a result of the lottery drawing is successful based on the effect result in the trial effect (step 80AKS17). For example, in the case where the result of informing "success" is notified as a result of lottery drawing in the trial effect in response to the variation pattern 80PB2-2 (step 80AKS17; Yes), notification control of expectation information is performed (step). 80AKS 18). By the notification control of the expectation level information, for example, information indicating the jackpot expectation level when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed corresponding to the 101st or later special drawing game may be notified in advance. For the notification of the degree-of-expectation information, an arbitrary effect device such as a display of an effect image or an output of sound, an output of lighting of a decorative light emitter, a mode of operation by the movable body 32, or a combination of some or all of these is used. It suffices if it can be performed in the same presentation mode. The display of the effect image in the notification of the expectation information may be any character, number, symbol, pattern, character, meter, or any other figure that can suggest the jackpot expectation.

After step 80AKS18, the start setting of the second battle period is set (step 80AKS19), and then the jackpot post-production control process is ended. In step 80AKS19, corresponding to the second battle period, the background image prepared in advance, the sound output as the BGM, the lighting output in the decorative light-emitting body, the operation mode by the movable body 32, or one of these is displayed. It suffices that the effect mode is set, such as a combination of all or all parts. Thereby, in the second battle period, the player may be able to recognize an effect mode different from that in the first battle period or during the trial effect. Further, the trial effect flag may be cleared and set to OFF. The second battle period flag that can identify the second battle period may be set to ON. The start of the second battle period is set in step 80AKS19 after the notification control of the expectation information in step 80AKS18 is performed. Therefore, the information about the jackpot expectation when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed in the second battle period can be notified at the start of the second battle period.

In the setting of the start of the second battle period by step 80AKS19, the information regarding the SP jackpot expectation of SP reach B notified by the notification control of the expectation information in step 80AKS18 is notified so that the player can recognize in the second battle period. As described above, the effect mode is set. The production that can present the information about the SP jackpot B's jackpot expectation in a production mode in which the player can recognize is also referred to as an expectation-related production. For example, the player recognizably notifies the information regarding the SP big hit expectation of SP reach B by the display mode of the effect image such as the brightness, the saturation, and the hue of the effect image used for the telop display corresponding to the second battle period. Good. The effect image used for the telop display may be displayed in a layer having a lower display priority than the layer in which the effect image corresponding to the decorative pattern is displayed, such as a layer common to the layer in which the background image is displayed. .. In this case, it is possible to prevent the display of the decorative pattern from being hindered by the display of the information on the jackpot expectation, so that the player can easily recognize the display result of the decorative pattern and the like, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved. Alternatively, the effect image used for the telop display may be displayed in a layer having a higher display priority than the layer in which the effect image corresponding to the decorative pattern is displayed. In this case, the player can easily recognize the information about the jackpot expectation, and thus the expectation for the reach effect of SP reach B can be increased and the enjoyment of the game can be improved. In this way, the easiness of recognizing the information regarding the SP jackpot B big hit expectation degree may be changed depending on the layer on which the effect image used for the telop display is displayed. The information that can be presented by the expectation-related effect may be character information that includes numbers that directly indicate the jackpot expectation, or can suggest the jackpot expectation, such as the character display color or the band display color in the telop display. It may be any arbitrary information. In addition, the information about the SP big hit expectation degree of the reach B is the display of an arbitrary effect image, the output of the sound, the output of the lighting in the decorative light emitting body, the mode of the operation by the movable body 32, or a combination of some or all of these. As described above, the player may be notified so that the player can recognize the presentation mode using an arbitrary production device. The presentation of the effect image showing the information about the jackpot expectation may be any one that can suggest the jackpot expectation by using arbitrary characters, numbers, symbols, patterns, characters, meters, and other figures.

The second battle period corresponds to a period in which the special figure game with the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 101st or later is executed in a highly accurate and high base state. When the fluctuation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed in the special symbol process process corresponding to the 101st or later special drawing game, “101th time after the big hit ends/no loss of probability of falling loss”, “101 after big hit end” Either of the following selection conditions: “after the big hit/probable loss in falling” or “after the big hit/101 big hit after the big hit” is satisfied. As a result, one of the tables 81AKT31 to 81AKT33 is selected as the fluctuation pattern determination table. In this case, within the range of the second battle period, the reach effect of SP reach B can be executed at a predetermined ratio, while the limit restriction is set so as not to execute the reach effect of SP reach A. .

When it is determined in step 80AKS17 that the trial has not succeeded (step 80AKS17; No), it is determined whether or not there is a trial failure in which "failure" is notified as a result of the lottery drawing based on the effect result in the trial production (( Step 80AKS20). For example, in the case where the result of informing "failure" is notified as a result of the lottery drawing in the trial effect in response to the variation pattern 80PB2-1 (step 80AKS20; Yes), after the battle end notification control is performed ( Step 80AKS21), the big hit after-effect control processing ends. If the trial has not failed (step 80AKS20; No), the post-big hit production control process is ended. In these cases, for example, it is possible to read the control data of the effect control pattern corresponding to the variation pattern and set the effect mode according to the read data to thereby notify the end of the battle. It suffices if it is possible to give notifications and effects.

If neither the trial succeeds nor the trial fails, if the trial result that informs "winning" as a result of lottery draw is indicated by the result of the trial production, it is expected without notifying the end of the battle. The notification control of the degree information and the start setting of the second battle period may be performed. For example, the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of the special symbol process process may include the determination process using the storage data of the suspension determination result storage unit 80AKM01. This determination process is executed corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of changes after the jackpot is 100th, and the display result is “miss” in the variable display this time, while the storage data of the hold determination result storage unit 80AKM01 is stored. It suffices to determine whether or not the “big hit” is included in the winning determination results that can be specified by the hold information configured by. When the winning determination result of “big hit” is included, the selection condition of “100th time after big hit/with loss big hit pending” is satisfied, and thus 100/100 is determined after selecting the table 81AKT23. The variation pattern 80PB2-3 is determined in proportion. Corresponding to the fluctuation pattern 80PB2-3 determined in this way, in the case of a trial win in which “win” is notified as a result of lottery drawing in the trial production, execution is suspended by the notification control of the expectation information. Information indicating the jackpot expectation degree when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed corresponding to the illustrated game may be notified in advance. In addition, in the start setting of the second battle period corresponding to the trial winning, the setting of the effect mode is set so that the player can be notified in the second battle period of information regarding the jackpot expectation corresponding to the presence of the jackpot. Should be done. The start setting of the second battle period corresponding to the trial winning may be performed after the notification control of the expectation information corresponding to the trial winning is performed. Thereby, the information regarding the jackpot expectation degree in the case where the reach effect of the SP reach B according to the presence of the jackpot is held in the second battle period can be notified at the start of the second battle period.

When it is determined in step 80AKS16 that the trial production is not in progress (step 80AKS16; No), it is determined whether or not it is the second battle period (step 80AKS22). For example, when the second battle period flag is ON, it may be determined that it is the second battle period. When it is not the second battle period (step 80AKS22; No), the big hit after-effect control process is ended. On the other hand, in the case of the second battle period (step 80AKS22; Yes), it is determined whether or not it is the end of SP reach B at which the reach effect of SP reach B ends (step 80AKS23). For example, in response to any of the variation patterns 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7 or the variation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7, it is notified whether the teammate character in the reach effect of SP reach B lost or won the battle. When the production result is obtained, it may be determined that the SP reach B is finished. When the SP reach B is not finished (step 80AKS23; No), the post-big hit production control process is finished.

When it is determined in step 80AKS23 that the end of SP reach B has ended (step 80AKS23; Yes), a battle defeat that notifies that the teammate character has lost the battle due to the effect result in the reach effect of SP reach B. It is notified whether or not it has become (step 80AKS24). For example, in the case of an effect result informing that the teammate character in the reach effect of SP reach B has lost the battle in response to any of the fluctuation patterns 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7 (step 80AKS24; Yes). ), the notification control of the end of the battle is performed (step 80AKS25), and then the post-big hit production control process is ended. If the battle is not defeated (step 80AKS24; No), the after-big hit production control process is ended. In these cases, for example, it is possible to read the control data of the effect control pattern corresponding to the variation pattern and set the effect mode according to the read data to thereby notify the end of the battle. It suffices if it is possible to give notifications and effects.

In the special symbol process process, when the gaming state is executed in the variation pattern setting process of step S111 corresponding to the low-probability low base state, "low-probability low base state/miss" or "low-probability low base state/big hit" Either of the selection conditions is satisfied. As a result, the table 81AKT01 or the table 81AKT02 is selected as the fluctuation pattern determination table. In this case, the reach effect of SP reach A can be executed at a predetermined ratio and the reach effect of SP reach B can be executed at a predetermined ratio within the range of being controlled to the low accurate low base state. Become. The rate at which the reach effect of SP reach A and the rate at which the reach effect of SP reach B are executed may be different rates depending on the setting of the determination rate in table 81AKT01 and table 81AKT02. It should be noted that, for example, by summing up the proportions in which the reach effect is executed depending on whether the display result is “miss” or “big hit”, the reach effect of the SP reach A can be achieved in the period corresponding to the low accurate low base state. The rate of execution may be the same as the rate at which the reach effect of SP reach B is executed.

The reach effect of SP reach A can be executed at a predetermined ratio within the range of being controlled to a low accurate low base state or within the first battle period, while the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is the 100th range There is a limit that is not executed within the second battle period. The reach effect of SP reach B can be executed at a predetermined ratio within a period of being controlled to a low accurate low base state or within a second battle period, while fluctuations within the first battle period and after the jackpot are over. A limit is set that the number of times is not executed within the range of 100 times. The trial effect can be executed within a range in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th, but is not executed in other ranges, which is a limit. The reach effect of SP reach A is a first specific effect that can be executed within the range of the first battle period. The trial effect is a second specific effect that can be executed within a range in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th. The reach effect of SP reach B is a third specific effect that can be executed within the second battle period.

Next, a description will be given of an example of executing an effect regarding the characteristic parts 80AK and 81AK. 22-11 to 22-14 show execution examples of reach effects and trial effects. FIG. 22-11 shows an example of production execution when the reach production of SP reach A is executed. FIG. 22-12 shows an example of production execution when the result of lottery drawing is “failure” or “success” as the production result in the trial production. FIG. 22-13 shows an example of effect execution when the result of lottery drawing is “winning” as the effect result in the trial effect. FIG. 22-14 shows an example of effect execution when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed.

FIG. 22-11(A) shows an effect execution example 80AKD01 in which in the reach effect of SP reach A, an effect image that is a battle effect is displayed before the effect result. In the battle effect, an effect image showing a scene in which the ally character fights with the enemy character is displayed. FIG. 22-11(B1) shows a production execution example 80AKD02 for notifying that the battle will continue according to the production result in the reach production of SP reach A. For example, in the reach production of SP reach A, when the display result of the variable display is “miss” in correspondence with any of the variation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4, the production result informing that the battle continues in the reach production of SP reach A Become. In the production execution example 80AKD02, the fixed decorative design of the reach combination which is not the big hit combination is stopped and displayed, thereby notifying that the battle is continued by the production result in the reach production of SP reach A. FIG. 22-11 (B2) shows an effect execution example 80AKD03 that notifies that the teammate character has won the battle based on the effect result in the reach effect of SP reach A. For example, when the display result of the variable display is "big hit" in response to any of the fluctuation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4, it is notified that the teammate character has won the battle in the reach production of SP reach A. The result will be In the production execution example 80AKD03, the fixed decorative design of the jackpot combination is stopped and displayed together with the scene in which the enemy character is defeated, thereby notifying that the teammate character has won the battle based on the production result in the reach production of SP reach A. . In the case of the effect execution example 80AKD03, after the big hit notification effect (fanfare effect) for notifying that the big hit game state is controlled, the control of the big hit game state may be started. . In this way, as a result of the reach effect of SP reach A, when notifying that the teammate character has won the battle, the player is subsequently controlled to the big hit game state, which is advantageous for the player. It is possible for the player to recognize that the display result is controlled to the big hit game state corresponding to "big hit".

FIG. 22-12(A) shows an effect execution example 80AKD11 in which, by starting the trial effect, an effect image that is a draw effect is displayed before the effect result. In the lottery drawing effect, an effect image showing a scene where the character draws a lottery lottery is displayed. FIG. 22-12(B1) shows an effect execution example 80AKD12 in which, in the trial effect, a trial failure effect in which "failure" is notified as a result of lottery drawing is performed based on the effect result. For example, when the display result of the variable display corresponds to the variation pattern 80PB2-1 and is “miss” and there is a probability change fall, the trial result is an effect result of notifying “failure” as a result of lottery drawing. FIG. 22-12 (C1) shows a performance execution example 80AKD13 in which a finish notification performance is performed subsequent to the performance result of the trial performance by the performance execution example 80AKD12. In the end notification effect, for example, the end of the effect mode corresponding to the first battle period controlled in the high base state such as the high accuracy high base state or the low accuracy high base state may be notified so that the player can recognize. For example, if it is determined in step 80AKS20 of the big hit after-effect control process that the trial has failed, the end notification effect can be executed by performing the battle end notification control in step 80AKS21. In the production execution example 80AKD13, by displaying the production image showing the message “battle time end”, the player is recognizable so that the second battle period is not started after the first battle period is over. FIG. 22-12 (D1) shows a performance execution example 80AKD14 in which a low base medium performance is performed after the end notification performance. In the low-base medium effect, variable display of the decorative design may be performed in a normal manner in correspondence with the period in which the low-probability low-base state is controlled.

FIG. 22-12 (B2) shows a production execution example 80AKD15 in which a trial success production is performed in the trial production in which “success” is notified as a result of lottery drawing based on the production result. For example, in the case where the display result of the variable display corresponds to the variation pattern 80PB2-2, in addition to “miss”, and there is no probability change fall, the trial result is an effect result of notifying “success” as a result of lottery. FIG. 22-12 (C2) shows a performance execution example 80AKD16 in which the expectation notification performance is performed subsequent to the performance result of the trial performance by the performance execution example 80AKD15. In the effect execution notification effect of the effect execution example 80AKD16, the jackpot expectation level when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed may be notified so that the player can recognize it. For example, when it is determined in step 80AKS17 of the post-big hit production control process that the trial has succeeded, in step 80AKS18, the expectation information notification effect can be executed by performing the notification control of the expectation information. In the production execution example 80AKD16, in the expectation notification production, in addition to the message “Last battle time plunge!!”, a production image showing a message “SP reach is 70% expectation!!” by the character is displayed. As a result, the player can recognize the transition to the second battle period after the end of the first battle period, and the jackpot expectation when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed in the second battle period. To inform.

FIG. 22-12 (D2) shows an effect execution example 80AKD17 in which the expectation degree related effect is performed next to the expectation notification effect by the effect execution example 80AKD16. In the effect degree related effect of effect execution example 80AKD17, for example, a telop display related to the jackpot expectation degree when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed is performed corresponding to the second battle period. For example, in step 80AKS19 of the post-big hit production control process, the control for starting the second battle period is performed, so that the expectation degree-related production can be executed. In the production execution example 80AKD17, the telop display showing the message “Last battle time expectation 70%” is related to the jackpot expectation when the reach production of SP reach B is executed in the second battle period following the trial production. The information is displayed so that the player can recognize it. The telop display of the performance execution example 80AKD17 notifies the player of the jackpot expectation degree by displaying the character information including the numbers directly indicating the jackpot expectation degree when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed. May be. Alternatively, in the telop display in the second battle period, the band display color may be set to blue to suggest the jackpot expectation degree when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed. While it is possible to suggest the big hit expectation degree by the band display color, it is possible not to display the numbers directly showing the big hit expectation degree.

Corresponding to the start of the second battle period, if "success" is notified as the result of the lottery draw by the effect result in the trial success effect such as the effect execution example 80AKD15, it is highly accurate as a content advantageous to the player. The player is notified so that the high base state will continue. In addition, in response to the start of the second battle period, by displaying a production image showing a message in the expectation notification production such as production execution example 80AKD16, the jackpot expectation degree when the reach production of SP reach B is executed Is notified so that the player can recognize it. Since the production result of the trial production in the production execution example 80AKD15 and the expectation notification production in the production execution example 80AKD16, it is possible to perform appropriate notification that raises the player's attention to the continuation of the high-accuracy high-base state. It is possible to prevent a decrease in interest.

The trial effect includes a case where the trial effect like the effect execution example 80AKD11 is followed by a trial failure effect like the effect execution example 80AKD12 and a case where the trial effect is like the effect execution example 80AKD15. I'm out. By making either of these trial failure productions or trial success productions executable, whether the second battle period is started or not is determined depending on whether or not the highly accurate high base state continues. The person is notified so that it can be recognized. By executing a trial production including a trial failure production like the production execution example 80AKD12 and a trial success production like the production execution example 80AKD15, it is possible to determine whether or not the high-accuracy high-base state continues by further notification. Since the degree of attention of the player is increased, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the game.

In the second battle period, an effect image corresponding to the information about the jackpot expectation when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed is continuously displayed by the telop display in the effect degree related effect like the effect execution example 80AKD17. Can be displayed. By executing the degree-of-expectation-related effect in the effect execution example 80AKD17, when the high-accuracy high-base state continues, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation by an appropriate notification that is easily recognized by the player. Can be prevented.

Highly accurate and accurate by a trial success effect like the effect execution example 80AKD15, an expectation notification effect like the effect execution example 80AKD16, an expectation degree related effect like the effect execution example 80AKD17, or a combination of some or all of these. Corresponding to the second battle period in which the base state continues, by notifying information about the jackpot expectation degree when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, appropriate notification when the highly accurate high base state continues As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the game.

In the lottery drawing effect accompanying the trial production, by changing a part or all of the production modes, the result of the lottery drawing notified by the production result, the jackpot expectation degree when the reach production of SP reach B is executed, etc. , May be suggestable. For example, when the display color of the bottle is red, “success” may be notified as a result of lottery drawing by the effect result at a higher rate than when the bottle is normally colorless. Alternatively, when the pattern of the bottle is a cherry pattern, "winning" may be notified as a result of the lottery draw by the effect result at a higher rate than in the case of the normal plain pattern. In this way, the display color, shape, pattern, and size of the bin containing the lottery lottery, or the type, display color, shape, pattern, size, etc. of the character that draws the lottery lottery, and any other effect in the lottery drawing production. The display color, shape, pattern, and size indicated by the image, or part or all of these may be determined at different ratios according to the effect result of the trial effect and the information regarding the jackpot expectation.

FIG. 22-13(A) shows an effect execution example 80AKD21 in which the trial effect is started, similar to the effect execution example 80AKD11. FIG. 22-13(B) shows an effect execution example 80AKD22 in which the trial win effect is performed in the trial effect in which “win” is notified as a result of lottery draw based on the effect result. For example, when the display result of the variable display corresponds to the variation pattern 80PB2-3 and "Loss" and there is a big hit holding, the trial result is an effect result of notifying "winning" as a result of lottery drawing. FIG. 22-13(C) shows a performance execution example 80AKD23 in which the expectation notification performance is performed subsequent to the performance result of the trial performance by the performance execution example 80AKD22. In the anticipation notification production of the performance execution example 80AKD23, in addition to the message "Last battle time rush !!" common to the performance execution example 80AKD16, different from the performance execution example 80AKD16 by the character "SP reach is 100% expected! A production image showing the message "!" is displayed. As a result, the player can recognize that the display result of the variable display is “big hit” and the big hit game state is controlled in response to either one or a plurality of special figure games whose execution is suspended. Notify me. FIG. 22-13(D) shows an effect execution example 80AKD24 in which an expectation degree related effect is performed next to the expectation notification effect by the effect execution example 80AKD23. In the effect degree related effect of the effect execution example 80AKD24, for example, in response to a big hit hold, a telop display related to the big hit expectation degree of the special figure game based on hold storage is performed. The telop display of the performance execution example 80AKD24 is a big hit expectation by displaying character information including a numerical value directly indicating the big hit expectation degree by the big hit holding, such as a display of an effect image showing a message of "last battle time expectation degree 100%". The degree is notified so that the player can recognize it. Alternatively, in the telop display corresponding to the big hit hold, it may be possible to suggest the big hit expectation degree when the big hit hold is set by setting the band display color to red. While it is possible to suggest the jackpot expectation degree corresponding to the jackpot holding with the band display color, it is possible not to display the numbers directly showing the jackpot expectation degree. When "winning" is informed as a result of lottery drawing based on the result of trial production, the display result of the special figure game based on the hold information is controlled to the big hit game state corresponding to "big hit". Can be notified so that a person can recognize it.

Corresponding to the start of the second battle period, when "winning" is notified as the result of lottery drawing by the effect result in the trial win effect such as the effect execution example 80AKD22, the winning determination result is "big hit" as the hold information. In response to the presence of the big hit hold, the display result of the variable display becomes a "big hit" and the big hit game state is controlled so that the player can recognize. Further, in response to the start of the second battle period, by displaying a production image showing a message in the expectation notification production, such as production execution example 80AKD23, as a piece of information regarding the jackpot expectation, a jackpot game state is controlled. The player is notified so that the result will be recognizable. The production result of the trial production in the production execution example 80AKD22 and the expectation notification production in the production execution example 80AKD23 make it possible to appropriately inform the player of the trial production and the like, so that the interest in the game is reduced. It can be prevented.

When the display result of the variable display accompanied by the execution of the trial effect is “big hit”, for example, the fixed decorative design is similar to the expected degree notification effect like the effect execution example 80AKD23 shown in FIG. 22-13(C). Alternatively, after the display result of the constant small design of the aspect in which the decorative design is reduced is stopped and displayed, the battle production is performed after the expectation degree related production like the production execution example 80AKD24 shown in FIG. It may be performed, and the fact that the teammate character has won the battle may be notified according to the effect result. The notification process of the effect result including such a battle effect may be included in, for example, the revival effect corresponding to the variation pattern PB3-1 or may be included in the development effect corresponding to the variation pattern PB3-2. ..

A continuation suggestion effect capable of suggesting whether or not the high-accuracy high-base state continues may be executed by the time the special figure game in which the number of changes after the jackpot has been completed is 100th. In the continuation suggestion effect, for example, an item acquisition effect in which the character can acquire an item is performed, and it is advantageous to the player by the effect result in the trial effect at different ratios depending on the type, number, combination, acquisition order, etc. of the acquired items. The content may be notified. As described above, the ratio of the result of the trial effect to the specific result may be changed according to the effect mode before the execution of the trial effect.

FIG. 22-14(A) shows an effect execution example 80AKD31 in which in the reach effect of SP reach B, an effect image that is a battle effect is displayed before the effect result. FIG. 22-14 (B1) shows an effect execution example 80AKD32 for notifying that the teammate character has lost the battle depending on the effect result in the reach effect of SP reach B. For example, when the display result of the variable display is “miss” in addition to the variation pattern 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7, and the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is “falling winning”, In the reach effect of SP reach B, the effect result is that the teammate character is defeated in the battle. In the production execution example 80AKD32, the teammate character is defeated in the battle due to the production result in the reach production of SP reach B by stopping and displaying the scene in which the teammate character is defeated and the fixed decorative pattern of the reach combination which is not the jackpot combination. Notify that. FIG. 22-14(C) shows a performance execution example 80AKD33 in which the end notification performance is performed subsequent to the performance result of the reach performance by the performance execution example 80AKD32. In the end notification effect, the player may be notified so that the end of the effect mode corresponding to the second battle period controlled to the highly accurate and high base state can be recognized. For example, if it is determined in step 80AKS24 of the big hit after-effect control process that the battle is defeated, the end notification effect can be executed by performing the battle end notification control in step 80AKS25. In the production execution example 80AKD33, the player is recognizable to notify that the second battle period is over, by displaying the production image showing the message “End of the final battle time”. FIG. 22-14 (B2) shows an effect execution example 80AKS34 for notifying that the teammate character has won the battle in the reach effect of SP reach B according to the effect result. For example, when the display result of the variable display is "big hit" in response to any of the variation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7, it is notified that the teammate character has won the battle in the reach effect of SP reach B. The result will be In the production execution example 80AKD34, the fixed decorative design of the jackpot combination is stopped and displayed together with the scene in which the enemy character is defeated, thereby notifying that the teammate character has won the battle based on the production result in the reach production of SP reach B. .. In the case of the performance execution example 80AKD34, the control of the big hit game state may be started after the big hit notification effect (fanfare effect) for notifying that the big hit game state is controlled subsequently. .. In this way, as a result in the reach effect of SP reach B, when notifying that the teammate character has won the battle, the player is subsequently controlled to the big hit game state, which is advantageous for the player. It is possible for the player to recognize that the display result is controlled to the big hit game state in correspondence with the "big hit".

When the reach effect of SP reach B is executed in the second battle period, the expectation degree related effect such as the telop display related to the big hit expectation degree may be ended. In this way, when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, by not notifying the information related to the jackpot expectation level, the player once holds the content if the advantageous result is not notified to the player as the effect result. It is possible to suppress the decline in expectations. Alternatively, the expectation degree-related effect includes a first related effect that is ended when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, and a second related effect that is not ended even when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed. You may stay. The first related effect may be an expectation degree related effect that notifies a message indicating that the big hit expectation degree is 70%, such as the effect execution example 80AKD13 shown in FIG. 22-12 (C1). The second related effect may be an expectation degree related effect that notifies a message indicating that the big hit expectation degree is 100%, such as the effect execution example 80AKD23 shown in FIG. 22-13C. Thus, when the second related effect is executed, the expectation degree related effect does not end even if the reach effect of SP reach B is executed, so that the player's sense of expectation is increased by the synergistic effect of the effects. You can

FIG. 22-15 illustrates a modification example in which the expected value notification effect and the set value suggestion effect are performed. FIG. 22-15(A) shows an effect execution example 80AKD41 that changes the display color in the balloon portion of the effect image showing the message when the expectation notification effect is performed as the set value suggestion effect. In the embodiment described above, for example, when the expectation notification production is performed by the production execution example 80AKD16 shown in FIG. 22-12 (C2) or the production execution example 80AKD23 shown in FIG. The display color in the balloon portion of the effect image indicating is set to white. On the other hand, when the set value suggestion effect is performed together with the expectation notification effect by the effect execution example 80AKD41, the display color in the balloon portion of the effect image showing the message is set to gold.

FIG. 22-15(B) shows a configuration example of the display color determination table 80AKT41. The display color determination table 80AKT41 is compared with the random number value for determining the display color so that the expected degree notification display color can be determined at different rates according to the current set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. It suffices that the judgment value is assigned to the decision result. For example, when performing the notification control of the expectation information in step 80AKS18 of the post-big hit production control process, the stored value in the set value data storage unit of the RAM 122 is used to specify the current set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Good. In addition, the random number value for determining the display color extracted by the CPU 120 for effect control is compared with the determination value preset in the display color determination table 80AKT41 corresponding to the setting value. Then, in the range of the determination value assigned to each of the expected degree notification display colors, the expected degree notification display color is determined according to the determination result of which range includes the random value for determining the display color. It

In the configuration example of the display color determination table 80AKT41, the determination rate of the expectation notification display color is changed depending on whether the current set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3 or less or 4 or more. , Judgment value is assigned. For example, when the current setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 or more, the expectation notification display color is determined to be gold at a higher rate than when the current setting value is 3 or less. As a result, when the display color in the balloon portion of the effect image showing the message in the expectation notification effect is gold, the current set value is 4 or more at a higher rate than when the display color is white. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the expectation that the set value is highly advantageous to the player. In this way, it may be possible to suggest the current set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, depending on the notification mode when the information regarding the degree of expectation is notified.

FIG. 22-16 shows a control example of the game after the end of the previous big hit. In this embodiment, the jackpot type determination table 80AKT21 is used to determine the jackpot type to be either a jackpot 80AKA or a jackpot 80AKB. After the last big hit corresponding to the big hit type of 80 AKA, the gaming state is controlled to a highly accurate high base state. After the last big hit corresponding to the big hit type 80 AKB of big hits, the game state is controlled to a low certainty high base state. After the last big hit that corresponds to big hit type 80 AKA, if the game state is controlled to a high-accuracy high base state, then, depending on the number of fluctuations and the game state when the next big hit occurs, 80 AKA → 100 times before high accuracy high base big hit "," big hit 80 AKA → 100 times before low accuracy high base big hit "," big hit 80 AKA → 101 times or more after high accuracy high accuracy base big hit ", big hit 80 AKA → It includes "101 big hits with certainty changes and low probability, big hits at low base," "Big hit 80AKA → 100th big hits with certainty changes and low hits, low probability and low base hits". If the gaming state is controlled to a low-probability/high-base state after the last big hit corresponding to the big hit type 80 AKB, the big hit will be changed according to the number of fluctuations and the game state when the next big hit occurs. It includes "80AKB→big hit at low accuracy and high base before the 100th time" and "big hit 80AKB→big hit at low accuracy and low base at the 101st time and thereafter".

FIG. 22-16(A) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKA→big hit at high accuracy and high base before 100 times”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the high-accuracy high-base state in response to the big hit 80 AKA, the display result becomes "big hit" in correspondence with the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100th or less, and the next time. The high-precision high-base state continues until the big hit game state is controlled. In this way, when it is controlled to the next big hit game state before the high-precision high-base state ends, it is also referred to as a probability variable condominium. When the gaming state is controlled to a high-accuracy high-base state, the display result becomes "big hit" in response to the K-th special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 100th or less Up to the Kth special drawing game, the probability that a villa will occur is the probability that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to all special drawing games will be "falling non-winning" and the K-1st special drawing game Multiplying the probability that the lottery result of the corresponding high-precision jackpot lottery will be "miss" and the probability that the lottery result of the high-precision jackpot lottery corresponding to the Kth special drawing game will be "big hit" since good, can be calculated by ^{A2 K × B11 × B12 K-} 1.

FIG. 22-16(B) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKA→big hit at low accuracy high base before 100th time”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the high-accuracy high-base state in response to the big hit 80 AKA, after the probability variation falls corresponding to the Jth special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100th or less In response to the K (≧J) times special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100 times or less, the display result becomes “big hit” and the next big hit game state is controlled. In this way, when it is controlled to the next big hit game state before the low certainty high base state ends, it is also called a high base extended game. When the gaming state is controlled to a high-precision high-base state, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery becomes "falling winning" in response to the Jth special map game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th or less The probability that the probability variation fall will occur is the probability that the lottery result of the probability variation fall lottery corresponding to the special drawing game up to the J-1th time will be "falling non-winning" and the probability variation corresponding to the Jth special figure game. Since the probability that the lottery result of the falling lottery will be "falling win" and the probability that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery with high accuracy corresponding to the special drawing game up to the J-1th time will be "miss" will be multiplied. , A1*A2 ^J-1 *B12 ^J-1 . Then, in response to the Kth special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations is 100th or less, the probability that a high base game will occur when the display result is a "big hit" is from the Jth time to the K-1th time. There is a probability that the lottery result of the low-probability jackpot lottery corresponding to the special drawing game will be “miss”, and a probability that the lottery result of the low-probability jackpot lottery corresponding to the Kth special drawing game will be “big hit”. Can be multiplied by the previously calculated probability of occurrence of the probability variation fall, and can be calculated by A1×A2 ^J−1 ×B01×B02 ^K−J ×B12 ^J−1 .

FIG. 22-16(C) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKB→big hit at low accuracy low base before 100 times”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the low accuracy and high base state in response to the big hit 80 AKB, the display result becomes "big hit" corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100th or less, and the next time. The big hit game is controlled. When the gaming state is controlled to a low-accurate high-base state, the display result will be "big hit" in response to the Kth special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 100th or less The probability of a condominium is the probability that the lottery result of the big hit lottery at the time of low accuracy corresponding to the special drawing game up to the K-1th time will be "miss", and the high accuracy time corresponding to the Kth special drawing game It is only necessary to multiply by the probability that the lottery result of the big hit lottery will be a "big hit", and therefore it can be calculated by B01 x B02 ^K-1 .

FIG. 22-16(D) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKA→big hit at the time of highly accurate and high base without certainty change and fall after 101st time”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the high-accuracy high-base state in response to the big hit 80 AKA, the display result becomes "big hit" in correspondence with the special figure game after the 101st variation, The high-precision high-base state continues until the big hit game state is controlled. When the gaming state is controlled to a high-accuracy high-base state, the display result will be "big hit" corresponding to the L-th special drawing game where the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 101st or later probability of Chuang occurs, it is sufficient replace the variable K in the case of FIG. 22-16 (a) in the variable L, can be calculated by ^{A2 L × B11 × B12 L-} 1.

FIG. 22-16(E) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKA→big hit at low probability low base with certainty change and fall after 101st time”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the highly accurate and high base state in response to the big hit 80 AKA, the certainty variation fall occurs corresponding to the Lth special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 101st or later. When the gaming state is controlled to a highly accurate and high base state, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery becomes "falling winning" in response to the Lth special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 101st or later Therefore, the probability that the probability variation fall will occur can be calculated by A1 x A2 ^L-1 x B12 ^L-1 because the variable J in the case of Fig. 22-16(B) can be replaced with the variable L. ..

As shown in FIG. 22-16(D) and FIG. 22-16(E), after the game state is controlled to the high-precision high-base state, the high-precision high-base state continues even in the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100 In addition, when the display result is "miss", "success" is notified as the result of the lottery drawing based on the effect result in the trial effect. When the gaming state is controlled to the high-precision high-base state, the high-precision high-base state continues even in the special figure game with the 100th variation, and the probability that the display result will be "miss" is up to the 100th time. The probability that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery corresponding to the special drawing game will be "falling non-winning" and the probability that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery at the time of high accuracy corresponding to the special drawing game up to the 100th time will be "miss" Since it suffices to multiply by, it can be calculated by A2 ¹⁰⁰ ×B12 ¹⁰⁰ .

FIG. 22-16(F) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKA→preceding the 100th time with certainty change and fall and big hit at low probability low base”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the highly accurate and high base state in response to the big hit 80 AKA, the certainty variation fall occurs corresponding to the Kth special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100th or less. When the gaming state is controlled to a high-precision high-base state, the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery becomes "falling winning" in response to the Kth special map game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th or less Therefore, the probability that a probability variation fall will occur can be calculated by A1×A2 ^K−1 ×B12 ^K−1 because the variable J in the case of FIG. ..

FIG. 22-16(G) shows a case of “big hit 80 AKB→big hit at low accuracy low base after 101st time”. In this case, after the game state is controlled to the low accuracy and high base state in response to the big hit 80 AKB, the display result becomes "big hit" in correspondence with the special figure game after the 101st variation and the next big hit. The big hit game is controlled. When the gaming state is controlled to a low certainty high base state, the probability that the display result is "big hit" corresponds to the Lth special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit is 101st or later is In the case of 22-16(C), the variable K may be replaced with the variable L. In addition, when the gaming state is controlled to the low accurate high base state, the display result becomes “miss” until the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations is 100th, and the low accurate high base state ends and becomes the low accurate low base state. When controlled, "failure" is notified as a result of lottery drawing based on the effect in the trial effect. When the gaming state is controlled to a low-probability low-base state, the probability that the display result will be "missed" until the 100th special drawing game is changed is the probability of a low-precision time corresponding to the 100th special drawing game. The probability that the lottery result of the big hit lottery will be “miss” can be calculated from B02 ¹⁰⁰ .

Also in the case of FIG. 22-16(F), since the low-precision high-base state ends when the number of fluctuations corresponds to the 100th special figure game, the low-precision low-base state is controlled, so in the trial production. "Failure" is informed as a result of lottery drawing according to the effect result. When the gaming state is controlled to a high-accuracy high-base state, after the probability variation falls corresponding to the Kth special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th or less, the number of fluctuations is the 100th. As for the probability that the display result up to the special drawing game is “miss”, the probability that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery at the time of low accuracy corresponding to the special drawing game from the Kth time to the 100th time is “miss” is calculated first. Since it may be multiplied by the probability that the probability variation fall occurs, it can be calculated by A1×A2 ^K−1 ×B02 ^{100 −K+1} ×B12 ^K−1 .

FIG. 22-17(A) shows an example of calculating the jackpot occurrence rate in consideration of the jackpot type determination rate. When the gaming state at the time of a big hit is a high-accuracy high-base state, "big hit 80 AKA → 100th previous high-accuracy high-base big hit" and Fig. 22-16(D) "Big hit 80 AKA → Big hit at high accuracy and high base after 101st time". When the gaming state at the time of a big hit is a low accuracy high base state, "big hit 80 AKA → 100 times before low accuracy high base big hit" shown in FIG. 22-16(B), and FIG. 22-16(C) "Big hit 80 AKB → Big hit at low accuracy high base before 100th time" is included. If the gaming state at the time of a big hit is a low-probability low-base state, then "big hit 80 AKA → low-probability low-base big hit with a certainty change fall after 101st time", and FIG. 22-16 Fig.22-16(G) "Big hit 80 AKA → Big hit at low accuracy low base with certainty change and fall before 100 times" and "Big hit 80 AKB → Big hit at low accuracy low base after 101 times" Is included.

The jackpot occurrence rate shown in FIG. 22-17(A) can be calculated from the sum of the probabilities that the display result will be a “jackpot” in each case shown in FIG. 22-16. For example, in the occurrence ratio of “big hit 80 AKA→big hit at 100 times before low accuracy high base” shown in FIG. 22-16(B), the variable K is a natural number of 100 or less, and the variable J is the variable K or less. It may be calculated using a sum of geometric series for a certain range. In addition, the occurrence rate of “big hit 80 AKA → big hit at the time of high accuracy and high accuracy without stable change after the 101st time” shown in FIG. 22-16 (D) and “big hit 80 AKA → shown in FIG. 22-16 (E) The probability of occurrence of "Probable change and drop with low probability low base big hit after 101 times" is calculated by using the probability that the high accuracy high base state continues even in the special drawing game where the number of fluctuations is 100, and the display result is "miss". , May be calculated. It is possible to think that the ratio of these occurrence ratios is equal to the ratio of the probability that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery at the time of high accuracy will be "big hit" and the probability that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery will be "falling win". it can. Furthermore, from the high base dropout rate in which the gaming state after the jackpot is controlled to a low-probability low-base state, from the high jackpot 80 AKA to the 101st time and after the 101st time, there is a probable fall and a low-probability low base time. By deducting the occurrence rate of "big hit", it is shown in Fig.22-16(F) in the case of "big hit 80AKA → 100th before before the 100th probability with a certain change and low accuracy big hit at low base" and Fig.22-16(G). The occurrence rate may be calculated in combination with the case of “big hit 80 AKB → big hit at low accuracy low base after 101st time”. Besides, the various jackpot occurrence rates may be calculated by any method.

FIG. 22-17 (B1) is a case where the reach effect of SP reach A is executed when the game state is controlled to the high-accuracy high-base state, and when the reach effect of SP reach A is executed, the teammate character wins the battle. It shows the probability of battle victory that informs that the action has been taken. When the selection condition of “1-99th after the end of the big hit/miss” shown in FIG. 22-8 is satisfied, the table 81AKT11 is selected, so that the variation patterns 80PA2-2 to 80PA2-4 are 1 respectively. The determined ratio is /100. In this case, by multiplying the probability B12 that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery at the time of high accuracy is “miss” and the total of the proportions in which the reach effect of the SP reach A is executed by the determination using the table 81AKT11. In the highly accurate variable display, the probability that the display result is “miss” and the reach effect of SP reach A is executed can be calculated. When the selection condition of “1-99th after the big hit/big hit” shown in FIG. 22-8 is satisfied, the table 81AKT12 is selected, so that the variation patterns 80PA3-2 to 80PA3-4 are 33 respectively. The determined ratio is /100. In this case, by multiplying the probability B11 that the lottery result of the big hit lottery at the time of high accuracy is "big hit" and the total of the proportions in which the reach effect of the SP reach A is executed by the determination using the table 81AKT12. In the highly accurate variable display, it is possible to calculate the probability that the reach effect of SP reach A is executed because the display result is “big hit”. From these calculation results, of the cases where the reach effect of SP reach A is executed, the ratio of the case where the display result is “big hit” can be calculated as the battle win probability. The battle victory probability calculated in this way is, for example, about 18/100 (=18%).

FIG. 22-17 (B2) shows the trial production success probability in which “success” is informed as the result of lottery drawing based on the production result in the case where the trial production is executed. The trial effect is executed corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th. If the special figure game with the 100th variation after the big hit is executed, the big hit 80 AKA → the big hit at the time of high accuracy and high accuracy without falling after the 101st hit is shown in Figure 22-16(D). 22-16 (E) "Big hit 80 AKA → Probable change after the 101st time Low probability big hit when low base", Fig. 22-16 (F) "Big hit 80 AKA → Before 100th probable change Fall low 22-16(G) shown in FIG. 22-16(G), which includes "a big hit 80 AKB→a small hit at a low accurate low base after the 101st time". As shown in FIG. 22-17(A), for example, the jackpot occurrence rate X1 corresponding to FIG. 22-16(D) is 21.54%, and the jackpot occurrence rate X2 corresponding to FIG. 22-16(E) is 9 22-16(F), the jackpot occurrence rate Y1 corresponding to FIG. 22-16(F) is 12.36%, and the jackpot occurrence rate Y2 corresponding to FIG. 22-16(G) is 14.62%. From these jackpot occurrence rates, the proportion of the case where the highly accurate and high base state continues in the special figure game after the 101st time can be calculated as the trial production success probability in the case where the trial production is executed. The trial production success probability calculated in this way is, for example, about 53/100 (=53%).

FIG. 22-17 (B3) shows that when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed when the reach effect of SP reach B is executed even when the special drawing game after the 101st time is continuously controlled to the highly accurate and high base state, it is an ally. Shows the probability of winning the battle informing that the character has won the battle. When the selection condition of “101st time after the end of the big hit/probability of loss of probability variation fall” shown in FIG. 22-8 is satisfied, the table 81AKT32 is selected, and the fluctuation patterns 80PA2-5 to 80PA2-7 It is decided to either. In this case, the probability A1 that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is "falling winning" is the probability that the reach effect of SP reach B is executed at the time of falling winning in the variable display corresponding to the special drawing game after the 101st time. Become. When the selection condition of “101st time after the big hit end/big hit” shown in FIG. 22-8 is satisfied, the table 81AKT33 is selected, and thus one of the fluctuation patterns 80PA3-5 to 80PA3-7 is selected. It is determined. In this case, the probability B11 that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery at the time of high accuracy is "big hit" is SP reach B at the time of big hit when the display result is "big hit" in the variable display corresponding to the special drawing game after the 101st time. It is the probability that the reach production of will be executed. From these probabilities, the ratio of the case where the display result is “big hit” among the cases where the reach effect of SP reach B is executed can be calculated as the battle victory probability. The battle victory probability calculated in this way is, for example, 70/100 (=70%).

With such a setting, the probability of successful trial production is higher than the probability of winning the battle in the reach production of SP reach A. Further, the battle win probability in the reach production of SP reach B is higher than the trial production success probability. As a result, the battle win probability in the SP Reach A reach effect is higher than the battle win probability in the SP Reach B reach effect. The reach effect of SP reach A can be executed at a predetermined ratio in the first battle period corresponding to the period in which the special figure game is executed in which the number of fluctuations after the end of the big hit is from the first time to the 99th time. The trial effect can be executed corresponding to the period in which the special figure game with the 100th variation after the big hit is executed. The reach effect of SP reach B can be executed at a predetermined ratio in the second battle period corresponding to the period in which the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 101st and thereafter is executed in the highly accurate and high base state. Therefore, rather than the reach effect of SP reach A executed in the first battle period, the trial effect in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is the 100th time is executed is more advantageous for the player. Becomes higher. Further, the reach effect of SP reach B executed in the second battle period is more advantageous for the player than the trial effect executed after the jackpot is changed to the 100th time. Becomes higher. As a result, the reach effect of SP reach B executed in the second battle period has a more advantageous effect result for the player than the reach effect of SP reach A executed in the first battle period. Becomes higher.

The reach effect of SP reach A can be executed during the first battle period, and the trial effect can be executed during the period corresponding to the special figure game in which the number of fluctuations after the jackpot is 100th, and reach of SP reach B. The effect can be executed in the second battle period. Then, the trial production success probability becomes higher than the battle victory probability in the reach production of SP reach A, and the battle victory probability in the reach production of SP reach B becomes higher than the trial production success probability. As a result, the expectation that the effect result of the trial effect is advantageous to the player is enhanced, and the effect result of the reach effect of SP reach B is expected to be advantageous content to the player. Since appropriate notification corresponding to the continuation of the highly accurate and high base state is possible, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the enjoyment of the game.

In addition to the above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is possible to solve at least one problem in the related art, and the part described in the above-mentioned embodiment It may be provided with the structure of. A structure for executing the expectation notification production and the anticipation-related production for notifying information about the jackpot expectation when the reach production of SP reach B is executed in the second battle period, corresponding to the characteristic portion 80AK, Corresponding to the characteristic part 81AK, the trial success probability is higher than the battle victory probability in the reach production of SP reach A, and the battle victory probability in the reach production of SP reach B is higher than the trial production success probability. It may be a pachinko gaming machine 1 that has one of the above configurations and does not have the other.

The reach effects of SP reach A and SP reach B are not limited to those in which a battle effect in which an ally character fights an enemy character is performed, and for example, a display result is "big hit" and a big hit game state is controlled. Any effect may be used as long as the player can recognize whether or not the content is advantageous to the player by any one of a plurality of types of effect results including an effect result that informs the player of the advantageous content. The trial effects are not limited to those in which lottery lottery is performed in which the character draws lottery lottery. For example, a plurality of types of effect including an effect result informing the player that the high-accuracy high-base state continues is advantageous It may be any effect as long as the player can recognize whether or not the content is advantageous to the player based on any of the effect results.

The period in which the trial effect is executed may correspond to a period in which the special drawing game is executed a plurality of times, such as a period in which the special drawing game in which the number of fluctuations after the big hit ends is 96 to 100 times. In the special symbol process process, when the variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed, if the number of variations after the jackpot is within the range of 96 to 100 times, "there is a loss probability variation fall", "no loss probability variation fall" , "Loss big hit pending", "Big hit", the fluctuation pattern determination table corresponding to the selection condition established. As a result, the limit effect may be set so that the trial effect can be executed while the reach effect of SP reach A or SP reach B is not executed. In this case, the trial effect is the second specific effect that can be executed when the number of changes after the jackpot is 96 to 100 times.

The contents that are advantageous to the player are that the display result of the variable display is "big hit" and it is controlled to the big hit game state, and the high accurate and high base state continues, as well as the special game state such as the positive change state. Being controlled, the jackpot gaming state in which the upper limit number of executable rounds among the plurality of jackpot gaming states is the first round number (eg, “15”) larger than the second round number (eg, “7”) Being controlled, the time-saving state is controlled such that the upper limit number of variable displays that can be executed among the plurality of time-saving states is the first number (eg, “100”) that is greater than the second number (eg, “50”). That is, the probability of jackpot out of a plurality of probability variation states is controlled to be a probability variation state having a first probability (for example, 1/20) higher than a second probability (for example, 1/50), or any other advantageous condition for the player. Any game value or privilege may be given.

Probability A1 that the lottery result of the probability variation falling lottery is "falling win", probability B01, B11 that the lottery result of the big hit lottery becomes "big hit" at low probability or high accuracy, determination ratio of big hit type, determination ratio of fluctuation pattern The lower limit number of special drawing games that can be controlled to a high base state after the end of a big hit can be set arbitrarily as long as some or all of the problems to be solved by the present invention can be solved.

It may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestive effects at different rates according to the set value. For example, in the case of the specific setting value, the determination value of the effect determination table is assigned so that the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a higher rate than in the case of the setting value other than the specific setting value. In this case, in the range where the set value is other than the specific set value, a limit is set as a limit that the execution rate of the setting suggestive effect is lower than in the range where the set value is the specific set value. There may be provided a setting suggestion effect that can be executed at a predetermined rate when the setting value is the specific setting value and is not executed when the setting value is other than the specific setting value. In this way, in the range where the set value is the specific set value, the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a predetermined rate. On the other hand, in a range where the set value is other than the specific set value, a limit is set as a limit that the setting suggestive effect is not executed.

Depending on whether it is a special period or not, it may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestive effects at different ratios. For example, in the case of a special period, the determination value of the effect determination table is assigned so that the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a higher rate than in the case of a period other than the special period. In this case, in a range other than the special period, a limit is set as a limit that the execution rate of the setting suggestive effect is lower than that in the range being the special period. There may be provided a setting suggestion effect that can be executed at a predetermined rate during the special period and is not executed during the period other than the special period. In this way, the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a predetermined ratio in the range of the special period. On the other hand, in a range other than the special period, a limit is set as a limit that the setting suggestion effect is not executed.

It is not limited to whether it is a special period or not, and it may be possible to execute an arbitrary setting suggestion effect at different rates depending on whether or not an arbitrary special condition is satisfied. For example, when the special condition is satisfied, the determination value of the effect determination table is assigned so that the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a higher rate than when the special condition is not satisfied. In this case, in a range where the special condition is not satisfied, a limit is set as a limit that the execution rate of the setting suggestive effect is lower than that in the range where the special condition is satisfied. There may be provided a setting suggestion effect that can be executed at a predetermined rate when the special condition is satisfied, and is not executed when the special condition is not satisfied. In this way, in the range where the special condition is satisfied, the setting suggestion effect can be executed at a predetermined rate. On the other hand, in a range where the special condition is not established, a limit is set as a limit that the setting suggestion effect is not executed. The special condition may be any condition that can be established according to the progress or history of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the result of the judgment or determination of the game, or the progress or history of the production in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the production. It may be any condition that can be satisfied in accordance with the determination or determination of. The effect is not limited to the setting suggestion effect, and any effect may be executable at a different ratio depending on whether or not a preset condition is satisfied, or whether such a condition is satisfied. The effect mode may be determined at different rates depending on whether or not the execution timing may be determined at different rates depending on whether such conditions are satisfied. . Further, an arbitrary effect may be limited as a limit that a specific effect is not executed in a range where a preset restriction condition is satisfied, or compared with a range where the restriction condition is not satisfied. A limit may be set as a limit that the execution ratio decreases and the execution is difficult.
