Is located slightly to the right of the left end of the specific area 16 and the distribution member 16k covers the specific area 16 immediately above it. When the distribution member 16k is in the first state, the gaming ball that has won the second special winning opening 15 cannot pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second special winning opening sensor 15a, or is extremely low. It is difficult and passes through the non-specific area 17. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second special winning opening 15 to the non-specific area 17 is called the first route.

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

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

The specific area 16 and the non-specific area 17 are provided with a specific area sensor 16a and a non-specific area sensor 17a which detect a game ball that has passed (entered) each of the areas 16 and 17 and pass the game ball downward. ..

It should be noted that it is possible to provide only one of the first big winning device 14D and the second big winning device 15D within a range that does not hinder the game.

In addition, at approximately the bottom of the game area 6, there are provided two outlets 19 for discharging the game balls that have been hit in the game area 6 but have not won any of the prize openings to the outside of the game area 6. There is. Further, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

By the way, the game area 6 in which the game balls can flow down can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side of the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k that shoots the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is called "left hitting". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that shoots the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is called "right hitting". In the pachinko game machine PY1, the flow path through which the game ball can flow down when the game ball is launched by left-handing is called the first flow path R1, and the game ball flows down when the game ball is launched by right-handing. A possible flow path is called a second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also configured by a large number of game nails and the like.

A first starting port 11 and two general winning openings 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim the winning at the first starting opening 11 or the general winning opening 10 by firing the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by left-handing. On the other hand, on the second flow path R2, a second starting opening 12, a gate 13, a first special winning opening 14 and a second special winning opening 15 are provided. Therefore, the player shoots the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by right-handing, so that the player can pass through the gate 13, the second starting opening 12, the first winning opening 14, or the second winning opening. It is possible to aim for winning at the big winning opening 15.

In addition, the game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings (the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the first big winning opening 14, and the second big winning opening 15), It is guided to the outlet 19 and discharged. Further, the number of prize balls to be won in each prize hole can be appropriately set.

Further, a display device 8 is arranged on the left side below the game area 6 formed on the front surface of the game board 1 (a portion other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, on the display device 8, the special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, the special figure 2 display 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and the general figure are variably displayed. A universal figure display 82 is included. Further, the special device 1 reserved display device 83a for displaying a special device 1 reserved number (U1: the number of variable display of the special device 1 displayed by the special device 1 display device 81a) to be described later on the display device 8, Further, a special figure 2 hold indicator 83b for displaying a special figure 2 hold number (U2: number of variable display of the special figure 2 by the special figure 2 indicator 81b) which will be described later is included.

The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball into the first starting opening 11. In addition, the variable display of the special map 2 is executed when the special map 2 lottery is triggered by the winning of the game ball into the second starting opening 12. In the following description, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are collectively referred to as a special figure, and the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as a special figure lottery. The special figure 1 display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively referred to as the special figure display 81. Further, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b are collectively referred to as the special figure hold indicator 83.

The variable display of the special map informs the result of the special drawing. In the special display variable display, the special display is variably displayed and then stopped. The special figure to be stopped (stop special figure, special symbol derived and displayed as display result of variable display) is one special figure selected from plural kinds of special figures by special figure lottery. When the stop special map is a predetermined specific special map (a special stop of a specific stop mode, that is, a jackpot pattern), the special winning opening (the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

The special figure display device 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure according to the result of the special figure lottery depending on the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a big hit (one of a plurality of kinds of big hits to be described later), the special drawing indicator 81 displays “□□■■□□■■” (□: illuminated, ■ : OFF), the jackpot pattern constituted by lighting the 1, 2, 5, and 6th LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, if the result of the special drawing lottery is a loss, the special symbol display 81 "■■■■■■■□" displays a lost symbol composed of only the LED on the far right. To do. The lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited and can be set appropriately. Therefore, for example, all LEDs may be turned off as a lost design.

In addition, in the variable display of the special figure, the variable figure is variably displayed for a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. The variable display mode of the special figure is a mode in which each LED is turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right, for example. Note that the variable display mode of the special figure is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set such that all the LEDs blink all at once unless the LEDs are stopped and displayed (lighting display in a specific mode).

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning (ball entry) of a game ball into the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, various random numbers (numerical value information and judgment information One example) may be acquired. The various random numbers are temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105, which will be described later, as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers obtained by winning (entering) a game ball into the first starting opening 11 are referred to as “special figure 1-related random numbers”, and winning a game ball into the second starting opening 12 The various random numbers obtained by (ball entry) are referred to as “special figure 2 relation random numbers”. Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored in the special figure 1 holding storage unit 105a in the special figure holding storage unit 105 as the special figure 1 holding. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored in the special figure 2 holding storage unit 105b in the special figure holding storage unit 105 as the special figure 2 holding. The number of special figure 1 holds that can be stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a (the number of special figure 1 holds) and the number of the special figure 2 holds that can be stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b (special figure 2 hold number) Can set an upper limit (for example, four). In the following, the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are collectively referred to as “special figure hold”, and the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number are collectively referred to as “special figure hold number”. Further, the special figure 1 related random numbers and the special figure 2 related random numbers are collectively referred to as “special figure related random numbers”.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special map is not performed immediately after the game ball wins the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, specifically, the variable display of the special drawing is being executed. If a prize is won during the execution of the or jackpot game, the variable display of the special map (or the right of the special map lottery) for the prize can be reserved. The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 is exhausted when the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure reservation becomes possible. That is, the use of the special figure hold means that a special figure-related random number or the like corresponding to the special figure hold is determined and variable display of the special figure for indicating the determination result is executed.

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

Further, the variable display of the universal figure informs the result of the universal figure lottery. In the variable display of the public figure, the general figure is variably displayed and then stopped. The public map that is stopped and displayed (stop public map, a public map that is derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one public map selected from a plurality of types of public maps by the general drawing lottery.

3. Main Game Played by Gaming Machine Next, a main game played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 15.

3-1. Games related to public figures First, the games related to public figures are explained. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a general drawing lottery when the launched game ball passes through the gate 13. When the general figure lottery is performed, the general figure display 82 displays the general figure in a variable manner (variable display and then stop display). Here, the universal display stopped and displayed includes a winning design and a lost design. It should be noted that the lost design of the universal drawing is also referred to as a “missed universal design” in order to distinguish it from the lost design of the special drawing described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game relating to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the loss general map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed and the game relating to the passage of the gate 13 is finished. Further, in the following, the gaming ball passing through the gate 13 when the variable display of the universal figure or the auxiliary game is not performed is referred to as "establishment of the universal figure variable start condition".

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

3-1-1. Winning determination Winning determination is a determination for determining whether or not to win (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or a plurality of hitting determination tables as shown in FIG. 9(A). The hit determination table can be associated with a game state described later. That is, the gaming state includes a non-time saving state and a time saving state. As a hit determination table, a hit determination table used in the non-time saving state (non-time saving hit determination table) and a hit determination table used in the time saving state (time saving use It is possible to distinguish between the hit determination table). In each hit determination table, the judgment value of the normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol random value) is distributed to the hit and the loss as the result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table to determine whether the hit is a hit or a hit. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the universal figure variation pattern determination for performing variable display of the universal figure is performed. When the result of the hit determination is a hit, basically, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the ordinary figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is a loss, basically, the loss general map is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the general figure. Further, the winning probability per winning can be appropriately changed.

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

The universal pattern variation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the universal figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the universal figure variation pattern determination table used in the non-time saving state (non-time saving general figure variation pattern determination table) and the universal figure variation pattern determination table used in the time saving state ( It is possible to distinguish it from the time saving general pattern variation pattern determination table).

In each public figure fluctuation pattern determination table, one public figure fluctuation pattern, which is the result of the public figure fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each public figure that is stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the normal figure fluctuation time different between the non-time saving state and the time saving state. For example, in the non-time saving state, for the variable display of the public figure when stopping and displaying the general figure of the loss (missing general figure), the universal figure fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds, and is determined to be the regular figure fluctuation pattern. For the variable display of the universal figure when the display is stopped, the universal figure variation pattern is determined such that the universal figure variation time is, for example, 30 seconds. Further, in the time saving state, the variable display of the universal figure when the lost universal figure is stopped and displayed is determined to be the universal figure variation pattern such that the universal figure variation time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the common pattern when the winning symbol is stopped and displayed is displayed. For the variable display of the figure, the universal figure variation pattern is determined such that the universal figure variation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The universal figure display 82 variably displays the universal figure fluctuation time associated with the universal figure fluctuation pattern determined in this determination. Further, these universal figure fluctuation times can be changed appropriately. In this way, by performing the hit determination and the universal figure fluctuation pattern determination, the universal figure display 82 variably displays the universal figure.

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

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

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

3-2. Game relating to special figure Next, a game relating to special figure will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special drawing 1 lottery when the launched game ball wins the first starting opening 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 indicator 81a displays the variable of the special figure 1 (variable display and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, in the special figure 1 which is stopped and displayed, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the result of the special drawing 1 lottery includes a big hit and a loss. When the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the big hit game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is finished.

Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special figure 2 lottery when the launched game ball wins the second starting opening 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is carried out, the special figure 2 display 81b variably displays the special figure 2 (stop display after performing variable display) to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, in the special figure 2 which is stopped and displayed, there are a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. In other words, the special drawing 2 lottery result has a big hit and a loss. When the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the big hit game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not played, and the game based on the winning is finished.

In the following, the winning of the game ball in the first starting opening 11 is referred to as "establishment of the first starting condition", and the winning of the gaming ball in the second starting opening 12 is "establishment of the second starting condition". That. Further, "establishment of the first start condition" and "establishment of the second start condition" are collectively referred to as "establishment of the start condition". In addition, regarding the lost design of the special design, it is also referred to as a “missed special design” in order to distinguish it from the lost design of the above-mentioned general design.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special figure-related random number when the starting condition is satisfied when performing such a series of games (special figure lottery, variable display of special figure, big hit game, setting of game state), and Various judgments are made on random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special figure-related random numbers to be obtained include special symbol random numbers (big jackpot random numbers), jackpot symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special symbol fluctuation pattern random numbers. The special symbol random number is a random number for determining a big hit. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for determining the jackpot symbol type. The reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number for determining the variation pattern of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. The random number may be referred to as determination information.

3-2-1. Big hit determination The big hit determination is a determination for determining whether or not it is a big hit (whether or not to carry out a big hit game) using one or a plurality of big hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 10(A). The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with the normal probability state or the high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, it is possible to distinguish between a jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and a jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table). It is possible.

In each jackpot determination table, the jackpot that is the result of the jackpot determination, and the loss, the determination value of the special symbol random number (special symbol random number value) is distributed. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10(A), the high-probability jackpot determination table has a larger number of special symbol random number determination values determined as a jackpot than the normal-probability jackpot determination table. Also, the winning probability of the jackpot can be changed appropriately.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination Jackpot symbol type determination, when the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot, the type of jackpot symbols (jackpot symbol type) using one or more jackpot symbol type determination table as shown in FIG. ) Is a judgment for determining. For each type of jackpot pattern, it is possible to associate the jackpot content, in other words, the jackpot constituent element configured with a game privilege or the like given to the player.

The jackpot symbol type determination table is to be associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the starting mouth where the jackpot is caused due to the jackpot symbol type determination (which generated the jackpot symbol type determination). Is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot used when performing the variable display of the toku figure 2. It is possible to distinguish between the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, in each jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type which is the result of jackpot symbol type determination, the jackpot symbol type random number determination value (bonus symbol type random number value) is distributed There is. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the obtained jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table to determine the jackpot symbol type. Then, in the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, jackpot symbol type random number values are appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. Further, the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type can be appropriately changed. Further, the types of jackpot symbols can be appropriately increased or decreased.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10(B), the jackpot symbol classification distribution ratio for the special symbol 1 is 50% for the jackpot symbol X and 50% for the jackpot symbol Y, and for the special symbol 2 It is possible to make the jackpot symbol Z 100% of the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by the jackpot symbol type determination. In this way, with the special figure 1 lottery which is done with the game ball winning in the first starting opening 11 and the special figure 2 lottery which is done with the game ball winning in the second starting opening 12, the jackpot symbol type is sorted out. It is possible to have different fractions.

3-2-3. Reach Judgment Whether or not the reach is generated in the special figure variation effect described below by using one or a plurality of reach judgment tables as shown in FIG. 10C when the result of the big hit judgment is a loss. This is a determination for determining whether or not.

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

In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination value (reach random number value) is assigned to the reach determination result "reach is present (reach is generated)" and "reach is not generated (reach is not generated)". .. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the obtained reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (reach is generated). As shown in FIG. 10C, the number of reach random number values that are determined to be “reach is present (reach is generated)” can be made different between the non-time saving reach determination table and the time saving reach determination table. Is. In addition, in the following, "with reach (to generate reach)" that is performed on the premise that the result of the jackpot determination is "miss" is referred to as "reach with loss", and "no reach (no reach is generated)". )” is sometimes referred to as “miss without reach”.

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation The special figure fluctuation pattern determination uses the fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure fluctuation pattern determination table) of one or more special symbols as shown in FIGS. 11 to 12, and the fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure. This is a determination for determining the (special figure variation pattern), and is performed when the result of the jackpot determination is either a big hit or a loss. The special figure variation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items relating to the special figure variation time and the effect flow (effect content) of the special figure variation effect described later. In addition to the special figure change time and the effect flow (effect content) of the special figure change effect, the special figure change pattern can include identification information about the result of the big hit determination and the result of the reach determination. It is possible to use a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns each having different identification information as the special figure variation patterns, and the number thereof can be appropriately changed.

The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol that is subjected to the variable display as the determination target, in other words, the type of the starting opening in which the winning due to the special figure variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure variation pattern determination table, the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 1 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 variable display are performed. It is possible to distinguish the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) that is used at this time.

Then, each special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table (non-time saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table) used in the non-time saving state and the special figure 1 used in the time saving state It is possible to distinguish between the fluctuation pattern determination table (time saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table). On the other hand, similarly, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table is also used in the non-time saving state and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (non-time saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table). It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (time saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table).

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

Furthermore, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for each loss without reach can be associated with the number of reserved special figures. For example, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for reach-free loss used when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 0 to 2, and is used when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 3 to 4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for loss without reach. Further, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for each loss without reach can be associated with the number of reserved special figures. For example, it is used when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 2 hold pattern (U2) is 3 to 4, and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for reach-less loss. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for loss without reach.

Then, the special map display unit 81 variably displays the special map of the special figure fluctuation time according to the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by each special figure fluctuation pattern determination. And, in the variable display of the special map, as the display result (the result of the special map lottery), when the jackpot pattern is stopped and displayed, the variable display of the next special map is not immediately performed, and subsequently the jackpot game is executed. It

Further, each special figure variation pattern can be associated with a production flow of special figure variation production as shown in the second column from the right of the tables of FIGS. 11 to 12.

As shown in the rightmost column of the tables of FIGS. 11 to 12, the special figure variation pattern may be named in association with the special figure (big hit determination result) and the effect contents of the special figure variation effect. is there. For example, a special figure fluctuation pattern related to a big hit is called "big hit fluctuation". On the other hand, the special figure variation pattern in which SP reach, which is a type of reach is performed in the reach with loss, is referred to as “SP loss variation”, and L reach, which is a type of reach in the loss with reach, is performed. The figure variation pattern is "L-miss variation", and the special figure variation production that ends with N-reach, which is a type of reach, is "N-miss variation" and "no-reach loss". Such a special figure variation pattern is referred to as "normal loss variation".

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

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

That is, the prefetch determination table includes a first prefetch determination table used in the non-time saving state, a first prefetch determination table used in the time saving state, and a second prefetch determination table used in the non-time saving state. It is possible to distinguish between the second prefetch determination table used in the time saving state. It should be noted that what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination can be appropriately changed.

3-3. Jackpot Game Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game is a multiple round game involving opening and closing of the jackpot (the first jackpot 14 or the second jackpot 15), and from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round game. It includes an opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the final round game to the end of the jackpot game. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Further, it is possible not to provide OP or ED. In the following, the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) of the round game is simply referred to as "round". For example, the first (first) round game is referred to as "1 round (1R)", and the tenth round game is referred to as "10 round (10R)".

The elements constituting such a big hit game (big hit game constituent elements) include the number of round games, the number of times the big winning opening (first big winning opening 14 or second big winning opening 15) in each round game is opened, Includes the type of big winning opening and opening time (opening pattern), opening time (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or more jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. 14 after the stop display of the special figure. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more kinds of jackpot games.

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

Further, the number of times and time for each element can be changed appropriately. Further, it is possible to play the jackpot game using both the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15 or using only one of them.

Here, the specific region 16 will be described in detail. The specific region 16 is in a closed state in which the prize cannot be won and an open state in which the prize can be won by the distribution member 16k. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as "opening/closing mode of the specific region 16". In this way, the distribution member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (specific region 16 is a constant opening/closing mode), but the distribution member 16k is in a constant operation mode (specific region 16 is a constant opening/closing mode). In combination with the opening and closing mode of the second special winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (easiness) of entering the game ball into the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. In addition, below, that the specific area|region 16 is in an open state is also called "V opening."

The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second special winning opening is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3(B)). Therefore, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time when the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state and Due to the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific region 16 (the game ball should enter the specific region 16). On the other hand, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time when the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state and From the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to enter the game ball into the specific area 16). As described above, in the jackpot game, the VAT opening/closing member has the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that facilitates passage of the specific area 16 of the game ball (hereinafter, also referred to as “V passage”) during the jackpot game. The VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distribution member 16k operate, and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult for the specific area 16 of the game ball to pass. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. In this way, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is called "V long jackpot". On the other hand, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k operate in the V short opening pattern is called "V short jackpot".

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

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

The non-time saving state is set in the "low probability low base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state" or "big hit gaming state". The time saving state is set in the "low probability high base gaming state" or the "high probability high base gaming state", and the gaming state in which the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time saving state Is. For example, in the time saving state, the opening time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the opening time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the power tube 12D in the non-time saving state. In addition, in the time saving state, the special figure variation pattern determination is performed by using the special figure variation pattern determination table that is determined such that the special figure variation pattern with a short special figure variation time is selected more often than the non-time saving state. It may be performed (see FIGS. 11 to 12). As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of digesting the special figure reservation becomes faster, and an effective prize (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reservation) to the starting opening is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit under the smooth progress of the game.

In addition, it is possible to make the universal figure fluctuation time shorter in the time saving state than in the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, the universal figure fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the universal figure fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time saving state is determined. Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of executions of the universal figure lottery per unit time is larger.

Further, it is possible to make the time saving state easier to be judged as a hit in the hit determination than the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, the winning is determined with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability that the winning is determined in the non-time saving state (for example, 6600/65536). Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of times that the hit determination is successful is more per unit time.

In this way, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time becomes longer than in the non-time saving state, and the game ball is likely to enter the second starting opening 12 frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot balls, increases. Therefore, in a time saving state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a big hit without significantly reducing the number of game balls possessed by the player. Therefore, it can be said that the time saving state is more advantageous to the player than the non-time saving state.

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

In the time saving state, compared to the non-time saving state, it is easier to win the winning, the general figure variation time is likely to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer. The game according to the universal figure is set in favor of the player in three points. However, some of these points may be advantageous to the player.

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

4. Main Effects by Gaming Machine Next, main effects performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 22.

4-1. Performance Mode First, the performance mode will be described. The effect mode is a category of effect (or a superordinate conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability variation effect mode, a time saving effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as effect modes.

Customer waiting production mode, special probability variation production is performed in "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state" and "high probability high base game state". This is an effect mode that can be set when there is no special figure variation effect and is in a standby state in which no special figure variation effect is performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting production, for example, as shown in FIG. 16(A-1), a customer waiting demo video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demo video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16(A-2), a setting screen G101 for performing settings relating to the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. The settings relating to the effect include the volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, the brightness setting of the display unit 50a (“light amount setting”), the frequency setting of the effect executed (“effect setting”), and the like.

The normal production mode can be set when the special figure variation production is being performed in the "low probability low base game state" or the "high probability low base game state", and is a production mode indicating that it is a non-time saving state. is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16(B-1), a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. 16(B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image (background image G103 for evening normal) representing the scenery of the mountains in the evening is displayed on the display unit 50a, and FIG. -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (background image for nighttime normal use G104) representing a nighttime mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a, and 1 It can be switched under the condition that the special figure variation effect is performed once or a plurality of times as one condition. Further, each of the first to third normal effect modes includes a normal pre-stage effect mode before the reach is established and a normal post-stage effect mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the normal pre-stage production mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. A corresponding dedicated background image is displayed. Further, a special effect mode that is set only in the "high probability low base game state" may be provided.

The probability variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "high-probability-high base game state", and is an effect mode that indicates a high-probability state and a time saving state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16(B-4), a background image representing the universe (probability variation background image G105) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, in the probability variation effect mode, there are a probability variation pre-stage production mode before the reach is established and a probability variation post-stage production mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation production. In the probability variation former stage effect mode, the probability variation background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the probability variation latter stage effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

The time saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "low probability high base game state", and is an effect mode that indicates a normal probability state and a time saving state. In the time saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16(B-5), a background image representing the sky (time saving background image G106) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, in the time saving effect mode, there are a time saving front stage production mode before the reach is established and a time saving latter stage production mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation production. In the time saving front stage production mode, the time saving background image G106 is displayed on the display section 50a, but in the time saving rear stage production mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

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

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

4-2. Special figure variation effect Next, the special figure variation effect (also simply referred to as "variation effect") will be described. When the special display variable display is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts changing the special figure, and changes the special figure and the special lottery result (big hit determination result, big hit symbol type determination result, reach determination result, and Based on the special figure variation pattern determination result), the special figure variation effect is executed. In the special figure variation effect, the variation display of the effect symbol is superposed on the predetermined background image on the display unit 50a. The effect symbol is composed of, for example, numerical symbols (numerical image) of 1 to 9, and in the variable display of the effect symbol, the effect symbol changes with the start of the variable display of the special symbol, and at the end of the variable display of the special symbol. Along with this, the effect design is stopped. That is, after the special figure fluctuation time and the fluctuation display of the effect symbol are performed, the fluctuation is stopped and the stop display of the effect symbol is performed. Then, the result of the special drawing lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect design.

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

4-2-1. On the display unit 50a of the effect symbol display area image display device 50, as shown in FIG. 17A, a left effect is provided on each of the left side, the center, and the right side of the display unit 50a, which is divided substantially horizontally into three. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol in the special figure variation effect is stopped and displayed. Similarly, the medium effect symbol area 50b2 and the right effect symbol area 50b3 are areas for displaying the medium effect symbol EZ2 and the right effect symbol EZ3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17(A), it is possible to provide a small symbol region 50c in one section of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end of the display unit 50a. The small symbol region 50c is a region in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are variably displayed when the special symbols are variably displayed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are composed of numerical symbols 1 to 9, for example.

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

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

When the variable display of the special figure is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17(A), the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. The left small symbol KZ1, the medium small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, the variable display of the special symbol is not performed, and the variable display of the special symbol is on standby from FIG. 17(B). As shown in FIG. 7, the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started along with the start thereof, and the variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. In addition, "↓" in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbols are being displayed in a variable manner. When the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “normal loss variation”, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different, as shown in FIG. 17(C-1). After the temporary stop in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17D, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode (so-called ghost pattern) that suggests a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode that suggests a loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that suggest a loss, such as "1.1.2" and "24.6" where the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure variation pattern with reach such as “N-miss variation”, as shown in FIG. 17C-2, the left effect design EZ1 And the right effect design EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode (so-called reach eyes), and reach is established. At this time, the variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special symbol variation pattern is performed. In addition, the stop order and stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 can be appropriately changed.

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

In N reach, as shown in FIG. 18(A), the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18(B), the fluctuation speed of the medium effect design EZ2 is gradually increased. Slow down to. When the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N-miss variation”, as shown in FIG. 18(C-1), the production is performed in a stop mode (so-called reach-miss eye) that indicates reach loss. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting reach loss. There are a plurality of stop modes such as "7,6,7" and "5,3,5" in which the left and right symbols are the same and the inside symbol is different from the left and right symbols, as the stop aspect that suggests reach loss. On the other hand, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N big hit change”, as shown in FIG. 18(C-2), the stop is performed in a stop mode suggesting a big hit (so-called doublet). indicate. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a big hit, such as "7/7/7" and "2.2.2" where the symbols in the left and right are the same. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. The effect contents of N reach are not limited to the slowdown of the middle effect symbol EZ2, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the jackpot determination result was "big hit" is higher than N reach, and functions as an effect for letting the player expect a jackpot.

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

Here, the possibility that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 for each reach will be stopped in a mode showing a big hit (big hit expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the jackpot determination result. For example, if the N-reach execution probability is 10% when the jackpot determination result is "miss" and 100% when the jackpot determination result is "big hit", the SP reach execution probability is If the jackpot determination result is “miss”, it is set to 4%, and if the jackpot determination result is “jack”, the SP jackpot jackpot expectation is higher than the N reach jackpot jackpot expectation. It can be set high. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “miss”, and the result of the jackpot determination is “jackpot”. In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is set to 2% when the result of the big hit judgment is “miss”, and 30% when the result of the big hit judgment is “big hit”. For example, it is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach B higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach A. In this way, it is possible to set the jackpot expectation degree by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

Note that the counter, timer, buffer, etc. that appear in the game control by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

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

Next to the power-on process, interrupts are prohibited (S002), and normal symbol/special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol/special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8(A) and 8(B) are incremented by 1 and updated. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit value, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of the counter for each random number may be a value other than "0", or may be randomly changed. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated by using a known random number generation circuit such as a counter IC.

When the normal symbol/special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is completed, the interrupt is permitted (S004). While interrupts are enabled, main timer interrupt processing (S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102 at a cycle of 4 msec, for example. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main-side timer interrupt process (S005) ends, until the next main-side timer interrupt process (S005) starts, various kinds of normal symbol/special symbol main random number updating process (S003) The process of updating the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after interrupt enable (S004).

In addition, in this embodiment, when both the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are present, the special figure 2 determination process is preferentially performed, and the variable display of the special figure 2 and the variable display of the special figure 1 are performed. And so that they are not done in parallel.

[2-3-2. Special symbol fluctuation processing]
The special symbol variation process is a process performed during variable display of a special symbol. In the special symbol variation process, in response to the passage of the special symbol variation time, the special symbol display device 81 terminates the variable display of the special symbol and stops the special symbol corresponding to the result of the jackpot determination. If the result of the jackpot determination is a big hit, the jackpot pattern indicating the jackpot is stopped and displayed, and if the result of the jackpot determination is a lose, the lose symbol showing the lose is stopped and displayed. Then, the special figure variation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the special figure is generated.

[2-3-3. Special symbol confirmation processing]
The special symbol fixing process is a process performed when the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol determination process, if the special symbol currently stopped and displayed is a jackpot symbol, the jackpot game state is entered. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command includes information about the result of the jackpot type determination. Further, when the special symbol currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the high probability state is ended, the normal probability state is set. Then, the high-probability end command indicating the transition to the normal probability state is generated. In addition, when the special symbol currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time saving state is ended, the non-time saving state is set. Then, the time saving end command indicating the transition to the non-time saving state is generated. In addition, if the special figure that is currently stopped and displayed is a missing symbol and the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are “0”, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 waits for a customer indicating that it is in a standby state. Generate a command.

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

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

The commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be appropriately added or changed.

6. Effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 Next, the effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. A counter, a timer, a flag, a buffer, and the like that appear in the description of the effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 below are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided in the sub control board 120 reads the program for the sub control main processing shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main processing, first, power-on processing according to power-on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the effect CPU 122, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), and the like are performed.

Next, interruption is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for making determinations regarding various effects are updated. The method for updating the random number counter for effect determination with respect to various effects can take the same method as the normal symbol/special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above as an example. When updating, the random number values may be added not by one, but by two. This is the same in the normal symbol/special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

When the random number seed update processing is completed, command transmission processing is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. Upon receiving the command, the image control board 140 displays the image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (executes various effects by the image). In addition, the sub-control board 120 causes the speaker 52 to output sound via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects) and lamp control together with various effects performed by the image control board 140. Via the circuit 151, the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 are caused to emit light (various light emission effects are caused by light emission), the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are operated (various movable body effects caused by movement are performed). Do).

The production control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits interruption (S4005). After that, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interrupt is enabled, the reception interrupt process (S4010) and the sub timer interrupt process (S4011) can be executed.

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

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

In the input process, the operation of the operation unit such as the normal button detection switch 40a and the special button detection switch 41a that can be operated by the player is detected. In the light emission data output process, based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process described later, the light emission data is generated in order to cause the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 to emit light at a timing that matches the effect produced by the image. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode in accordance with the light emission data. In the movable device control process, based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process, drive data is output so as to perform movable object effects for operating movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, 58 at a predetermined timing. To do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a movable object effect in which the movable devices 55, 56, 58 and the like are operated in a predetermined operation mode in accordance with the drive data. In the watchdog timer process, the watchdog timer is reset.

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

7. Description of Characteristic Points of First Embodiment Regarding the characteristic points of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, a more detailed description will be added below. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment (the first embodiment), when the gaming state is the high-probability/high-base gaming state, the "first suggestion production" and the "second suggestion" that fuel a reach as a normal fluctuation It is possible to execute "dramatic". Further, if the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 3" or "miss pattern", "attack reach" is executed, and if "big hit symbol 4" or "big hit symbol 5", "defensive reach" is executed It is possible. The “first suggestive effect”, “second suggestive effect”, “attack reach” and “defensive reach” will be described later.

7-1. Big hit game First, the big hit game of the present embodiment will be further described based on FIG. 27. The jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 27 is stored in the game ROM 103 of the present embodiment. The game control microcomputer 101 can execute a jackpot game using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG.

The game control microcomputer 101 can determine either "big hit symbol 1" or "big hit symbol 2" by the big hit symbol type determination in the special figure 1 determination processing (see FIG. 27). The distribution ratio of "big hit design 1" is 65%, and the distribution ratio of "big hit design 2" is 35%.

On the other hand, it is possible to determine any one of the “big hit symbol 3”, the “big hit symbol 4” and the “big hit symbol 5” by the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 2 determination processing (see FIG. 27). The distribution ratio of "big hit design 3" is 50%, the distribution ratio of "big hit design 4" is 15%, and the distribution ratio of "big hit design 5" is 35%.

When "big hit symbol 1" is determined, "big hit game 1" is executed. When the "big hit symbol 2" is determined, the "big hit game 2" is executed. In these "big hit game 1" and "big hit game 2", a round game is played eight times as shown in FIG. Then, in the first round game, the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per round game, and in the second to eighth round games per round game The first special winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds. That is, the number of substantial round games of this jackpot game is eight.

In addition, when the "big hit symbol 3" is determined, the "big hit game 3" is executed. In this "big hit game 3", a round game is played 16 times as shown in FIG. Then, in the first round game, the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game, and in the second round to the 16th round game, maximum per one round game. Then, the first special winning opening 14 is opened for 29.5 seconds. That is, the number of substantial round games of this jackpot game is 16 times.

In addition, when the "big hit symbol 4" is determined, the "big hit game 4" is executed. When "big hit symbol 5" is determined, "big hit game 5" is executed. In these "big hit game 4" and "big hit game 5", a round game is played four times as shown in FIG. Then, in the first round game, the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per round game, and in the second round game to the fourth round game, maximum per round game is maximum. Then, the first special winning opening 14 is opened for 29.5 seconds. That is, the number of substantial round games of this jackpot game is four times.

Therefore, the "big hit game 3" in which the number of substantial round games is 16 times is the "big hit game 1" and "big hit game 2" in which the number of substantial round games is 8 times, or substantially It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the “big hit game 4” and the “big hit game 5” in which the number of round games is four. In addition, the jackpot game state in which the "jackpot game 3" is executed is given to the player rather than the jackpot game state in which the "jackpot game 1", the "jackpot game 2", the "jackpot game 4" or the "jackpot game 5" is executed. It can be said that it is an advantageous game state.

In addition, "big hit game 1" and "big hit game 2" in which the number of substantial round games is 8 times are "big hit game 4" and "big hit game 5" in which the number of substantial round games is 4 times. It can be said that it is a jackpot game that is more advantageous to the player. In addition, the jackpot gaming state in which the “jackpot game 1” or the “jackpot game 2” is executed is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which the “jackpot game 4” and the “jackpot game 5” are executed. ..

In this embodiment, if 10 game balls enter the first special winning opening 14 before the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 reaches 29.5 seconds, the first big winning opening 14 will be If 10 game balls enter the second special winning opening 15 before closing and opening the second special winning opening 15 for 29.5 seconds, the second special winning opening 15 will be closed. Further, in any of the "big hit game 1" to "big hit game 5", the second big winning opening 15 is opened in the first round game. In "big hit game 1", "big hit game 3" and "big hit game 4", when six game balls enter the second big winning hole 15, the distribution member 16k changes from the first state to the second state. It changes and the passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is permitted. On the other hand, in the “big hit game 2” and the “big hit game 5”, the distribution member 16k does not change from the first state to the second state, and the passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is not allowed. In other words, in "big hit game 1", "big hit game 3" and "big hit game 4", the game ball substantially passes through the specific area 16, and in "big hit game 2" and "big hit game 5", The game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 (see FIG. 3).

Further, the "big hit game 4" and "big hit game 5" of the present embodiment have no opening (OP) time (OP time), and the first round game is started at the same time when the big hit game state is entered. ..

In addition, the game control microcomputer 101 of the present embodiment, any of the "big hit game 1", "big hit game 2", "big hit game 3", "big hit game 4" and "big hit game 5" is executed. Even after the jackpot gaming state, the gaming state is set to a time saving state (“low probability high base gaming state” or “high probability high base gaming state”) (see FIG. 27). Further, in the jackpot gaming state, if the game ball passes through the specific area 16 in the second special winning opening 15, it is set to a high probability state (“high probability high base gaming state”).

As described above, in the "big hit game 1", "big hit game 3" and "big hit game 4", since the game ball substantially passes through the specific area 16, "big hit game 1", "big hit game 3" and After the jackpot game state in which any of the jackpot games of the “jackpot game 4” is executed, the high probability state is set (see FIG. 27). On the other hand, in the "big hit game 2" and the "big hit game 5", the big hit game of either "big hit game 2" or "big hit game 5" is executed because the game ball does not substantially pass through the specific area 16. After the jackpot gaming state, it is not set to the high probability state (is set to the normal probability state). Therefore, after the big hit game state in which one of the "big hit game 1", "big hit game 3" and "big hit game 4" is executed, it becomes the "high probability high base game state" (see FIG. 15). .. On the other hand, after the big hit game state in which either one of the "big hit game 2" and the "big hit game 5" is executed, it becomes the "low probability high base game state" (see FIG. 15).

In the present embodiment, the “high probability high base game state” can be continued until the next big hit game is executed, and the “low probability high base game state” has a variable display count of 100%. It is possible to continue until it reaches the number of times. Therefore, after the big hit game, the "big hit game 1", "big hit game 3" and "big hit game 4" that are set to the "high probability high base game state" are set to the "low probability high base game state" after the big hit game. It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the "jackpot game 2" and the "jackpot game 5". In addition, the jackpot game state in which the "jackpot game 1", "jackpot game 3" or "jackpot game 4" is executed is higher than the jackpot game state in which the "jackpot game 2" or "jackpot game 5" is executed. It can be said that the game state is advantageous to.

In addition, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 3", in the special figure change effect accompanying the variable display of the special figure 2, three effect symbols including the numerical image SG are stopped and displayed. . On the other hand, if the result of the special map 2 lottery is “big hit symbol 4” or “big hit symbol 5”, the special symbol change effect accompanying the variable display of special symbol 2 is an even number (“2”, “4”). , “6”, “8”), the reach using the effect design including the numerical image SG is not displayed in a line and stopped and displayed. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when three effect symbols are stopped and displayed in the special figure variation effect accompanied by the variable display of the special figure 2, the player obtains the result of the special figure 2 lottery as “a big hit. It is possible to understand that it is “3”.

7-2. Special figure fluctuation pattern Next, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern which can be decided by the game control microcomputer 101 will be further explained based on FIG. 28. In the game ROM 103 of the present embodiment, in addition to the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 28 is stored. The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 28 is a determination table in the case where the gaming state is a time saving state, that is, a “low probability high base gaming state” or a “high probability high base gaming state”. In the case of the non-time saving state, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 is used.

In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination process, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern based on the result of the big hit judgment, the result of the big hit symbol type judgment, and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number. Which special pattern 2 variation pattern is determined depends on the special figure variation pattern random number.

Specifically, for example, in the special figure 2 variation pattern when the result of the big hit determination is “big hit” and the result of the big hit symbol type determination is “big hit symbol 3”, the special figure variation patterns “P71” to “P74” are 4 There are types.

“P71” is a special figure variation pattern in which after a normal variation, the “reach”, which will be described later, which is an SP reach, is performed after the reach. In this normal fluctuation, the "first suggestive effect" described later is performed, but the "second suggestive effect" described later is not performed. In addition, in this reach, the same one of the effect symbols including the odd number image SG (“effect symbol 1”, “effect symbol 3”, “effect symbol 5” and “effect symbol 7”) is the left effect symbol. EZ1 and the right effect design EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed. This special figure fluctuation pattern “P71” is referred to as “first attack jackpot fluctuation”.

“P72” is a special map variation pattern in which the “attack reach” is performed after the normal variation and then the reach. In this normal change, both the "first suggestion effect" and the "second suggestion effect" are performed. Further, in this reach, like "P71", the same one of the effect symbols including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped and displayed. This special map fluctuation pattern “P72” is referred to as “second attack jackpot fluctuation”.

"P73" is a special figure variation pattern in which after normal variation, the reach is followed by the "defensive reach", which will be described later, which is the SP reach. In this normal variation, the "first suggestive effect" is performed, but the "second suggestive effect" is not performed. Further, in this reach, the same one of the effect symbols (“effect symbol 2”, “effect symbol 4”, “effect symbol 6”, and “effect symbol 8”) including an even number image SG is the left effect symbol EZ1. And a temporary stop display as the right effect design EZ3. Further, in this "defensive reach", the "reverse effect" described later is performed. This special figure fluctuation pattern "P73" is referred to as "first reverse jackpot fluctuation".

“P74” is a special map variation pattern in which the “defensive reach” is performed after the normal variation and then the reach. In this normal fluctuation, both the "first suggestion effect" and the "second suggestion effect" are performed. Further, in this reach, like "P73", the same one of the effect symbols including the even number images SG is temporarily stopped and displayed. Furthermore, in this "defensive reach", the "reverse effect" described later is performed as in "P73". This special figure fluctuation pattern “P74” is called “second reverse jackpot fluctuation”.

In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit" and the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 4" or "big hit symbol 5", the special figure 2 variation pattern includes the special figure variation pattern "P75" and " There are two types, P76”.

"P75" is a special map variation pattern in which after normal variation, the reach is followed by the "defensive reach" described later. In this normal variation, the "first suggestive effect" described later is performed, but the "second suggestive effect" is not performed. Further, in this reach, the same one of the effect symbols including the even number images SG is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3. Furthermore, in this "defensive reach", unlike the above-mentioned "P73" and the like, the "reverse effect" described below is not performed. This special map fluctuation pattern “P75” is referred to as “first defense jackpot fluctuation”.

“P76” is a special map variation pattern in which the “defensive reach” is performed after the normal variation and then the reach. In this normal fluctuation, both the "first suggestion effect" and the "second suggestion effect" are performed. Further, in this reach, like "P75", the same one of the effect symbols including the even numbered images SG is temporarily stopped and displayed. Furthermore, in this "defensive reach", the "reverse effect" is not performed as in the case of "P75". This special map variation pattern "P76" is referred to as "second defensive jackpot variation".

When the jackpot determination result is "miss" and the reach determination result is "reach", there are two types of special figure variation patterns "P77" and "P78".

“P77” is a special map variation pattern in which after a normal variation, the “attack reach” described later is performed after the reach. In this normal variation, the "first suggestive effect" described later is performed, but the "second suggestive effect" is not performed. Further, in this reach, like "P71" described above, the same one of the effect symbols including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3. This special figure variation pattern “P77” is referred to as “first SP loss variation”.

“P78” is a special map variation pattern in which after a normal variation, the “attack reach” described later is performed after the reach. In this normal fluctuation, both the "first suggestion effect" and the "second suggestion effect" are performed. Further, in this reach, like "P77", the same one of the effect symbols including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped and displayed. This special figure variation pattern “P78” is referred to as “second SP loss variation”.

When the result of the jackpot determination is “miss” and the result of the reach determination is “no reach”, the special figure 2 variation patterns are the special figure variation patterns “P65”, “P66” and “P79” to “P82”. There are 6 types.

“P65” and “P66” are special figure fluctuation patterns in which normal fluctuations are executed in which neither “first suggestive effect” nor “second suggestive effect” described later is performed. The special figure variation pattern "P65" is referred to as "first shortened A loss variation", and the special figure variation pattern "P66" is referred to as "first shortened B loss variation".

"P79" and "P81" are special figure variation patterns in which the normal variation is performed in which the "first suggestion effect" is performed but the "second suggestion effect" is not performed. The special figure variation pattern “P79” is referred to as “second shortened A loss variation”, and the special figure variation pattern “P81” is referred to as “second shortened B loss variation”.

"P80" and "P82" are special figure fluctuation patterns in which normal fluctuations in which "first suggestion effect" and "second suggestion effect" are performed are executed. The special figure variation pattern “P80” is referred to as “third shortened A loss variation”, and the special figure variation pattern “P82” is referred to as “third shortened B loss variation”.

In the present embodiment, which of “P65” and “P66” is determined depends on the number of special figure 2 reservations. Similarly, whether to determine “P79” or “P81” and whether to determine “P80” or “P82” also depends on the number of special figure 2 reservations.

FIG. 29 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) of the special figure variation pattern in the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when the determination result of the special figure 2 lottery is "big hit" and the big hit symbol type is "big hit symbol 3" in the time saving state, the game control microcomputer 101 swings as shown in FIG. 29(A). Select the special pattern fluctuation pattern by the fraction. Further, in the time saving state, when the determination result of the special drawing 2 lottery is “big hit” and the big hit symbol type is “big hit symbol 4” or “big hit symbol 5”, the game control microcomputer 101 is shown in FIG. 29(B). Select the special figure fluctuation pattern with the distribution ratio shown in. Furthermore, when the determination result of the special drawing 2 lottery is "miss" in the time saving state, the game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 29(C), is a special drawing with a distribution rate according to the reach determination result. Select a fluctuation pattern. Further, when the determination result of the special map 2 lottery is “miss” in the time saving state, the game control microcomputer 101 has a distribution rate according to the number of special map 2 reservations as shown in FIG. 29(D). Select the special figure variation pattern.

According to FIG. 29(A), the value of the distribution ratio of the special map fluctuation pattern “P71” is “10%”, and the distribution ratio of the special map fluctuation pattern “P72” in which the “attack reach” is performed is the same. The value is "25%". According to FIG. 29C, the value of the distribution ratio of the special figure variation pattern “P77” corresponding to the “missing effect” of “P71” is “70%”, and the “missing effect” of “P72”. The value of the distribution ratio of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P78” corresponding to “1” is “30%”. Therefore, the attack reach is performed through the first suggestion production and the second suggestion production, rather than the attack reach is performed only through the first suggestion production, and there is a possibility that the jackpot (“big hit symbol 3”) is won. Is high.

Further, according to FIG. 29A, the value of the distribution rate of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P73” is “50%”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern in which “defensive reach” accompanied by “reverse effect” is also performed. The value of the distribution rate of "P74" is "15%". Therefore, the total value of the distribution ratios of the special figure variation pattern in which the "defensive reach" accompanied by the "reverse effect" is performed is "65%". This value is higher than the total value (“35%”) of the distribution ratio values of the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the “attack reach” is performed. Therefore, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is “big hit symbol 3”, “defensive reach” is easier to select than “attack reach”.

In the present embodiment, the special figure variation patterns “P75” and “P76” that can be selected when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is “big hit symbol 4” or “big hit symbol 5” are “defensive reach” as SP reach. Done. Therefore, when the "defensive reach" is executed, until the "reverse direction" is executed at the end of the "defensive reach", whether the result of the special drawing 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 3" or "big hit symbol 4" It is difficult for the player to judge whether "" or "big hit symbol 5". Therefore, if the result of the special drawing 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 3", the "defensive reach" is configured to be more easily selected, and even if the "defensive reach" is executed, the "big hit symbol 3" is selected. It is possible to make players expect the winnings to the end.

Further, according to FIG. 29(B), when the result of the special map 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 4", the value of the distribution rate of the special figure fluctuation pattern "P75" is "20%", and the special figure fluctuation It is lower than the value of the distribution rate of the pattern “P76” (“80%”). Conversely, when the result of the special map 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 5", the value of the distribution ratio of the special map fluctuation pattern "P75" is "80%", and the distribution ratio of the special map fluctuation pattern "P76" is Value (“20%”). Therefore, it is suggested to the player that "defensive reach" is performed through the first suggestion effect and the second suggestion effect, and that the "big hit game 4" is more likely to be executed than the "big hit game 5". It is possible.

Further, according to FIG. 29A, the distribution ratio value (“50%”) of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P73” is larger than the distribution ratio value of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P74” (“15”). %”). Therefore, when the lottery result is "big hit symbol 3", the defensive reach is more likely to be performed only through the first suggestive production than the defensive reach is performed through the first suggestive production and the second suggestive production. Therefore, if the "defensive reach" is performed only through the first suggestion production, the "big hit game 5" is more likely to be performed than the "big hit game 4", but the number of rounds is larger than that of the "big hit game 4". It is possible to make the player greatly expect the player to execute many “big hit games 3”.

Further, according to FIG. 29C, the value of the distribution rate of the special figure variation pattern “P77” in the case of “miss with reach” is “70%”, and the distribution rate of the special figure variation pattern “P78” is Higher than the rate value ("30%"). Therefore, in the case of “miss with reach”, “attack reach” is likely to be performed only through the first suggestion effect.

Further, according to FIG. 29C, in the case of “miss without reach”, the normal variation in which neither the first suggestion effect nor the second suggestion effect is executed is likely to be executed. The value of the distribution rate of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P79” (“P81”) is “7%”, and the value of the distribution rate of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P80” (“P82”) (“3% )) higher. Therefore, in the case of “miss without reach”, it is more likely to be “miss” through only the first suggestive effect than through “first lose” through the first suggestive effect and the second suggestive effect.

According to FIG. 29D, in the special figure variation patterns “P65” and “P66”, when the special figure 1 holding number is 0 to 2, the special figure variation time is relatively long “P65”. On the other hand, when the number of reserved special maps 2 is 3 to 4, it is easy to select “P66” where the special map fluctuation time is relatively short.

Similarly, in the special figure variation patterns “P79” and “P81”, when the special figure 1 holding number is 0 to 2, “P79”, which has a relatively long special figure variation time, is selected. In the case where the number of holdings in FIG. 2 is 3 to 4, it is easy to select “P81” in which the special figure fluctuation time is relatively short (see FIG. 29D). Further, in the special figure variation patterns “P80” and “P82”, when the special figure 1 holding number is 0 to 2, “P80” having a relatively long special figure variation time is selected, while the special figure 2 When the number of reservations is 3 to 4, it is easy to select "P82" in which the special figure fluctuation time is relatively short.

7-3. Various effects Next, various effects in the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 30 to 44. The effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment can execute “attack reach”, “defensive reach”, “reverse effect” and “failure effect” in addition to the normal fluctuation and reach described above in the special figure fluctuation effect. Further, in the normal fluctuation, the “first suggestive effect” and the “second suggestive effect” can be executed. Further, in the jackpot production mode, "jackpot OP presentation", "blessing movie", "keeper defense presentation", "player introduction presentation", "jackpot ED presentation A" and "jackpot ED presentation B" can be executed. These various effects will be described below.

7-3-1. In the present embodiment, in the special figure change effect, in the special figure change effect when the game state is the high-probability/high-base game state, the “first suggestion effect”, the “second suggestion effect”, and the “attack reach”. And “defensive reach” can be executed.

Further, in the special figure variation effect in the high-probability/high-base game state, an effect pattern including the character image CG as shown in FIGS. 31 to 33 is used. In the present embodiment, two types of effect modes (first effect mode and second effect mode) in which the display patterns of effect symbols are partially different are provided, and when the game state is the high probability high base game state, one of them is used. The special figure variation effect is executed in the effect mode. Specifically, for example, when the game state shifts from a low-probability low base game state (normal game state) to a high-probability high base game state across the jackpot game, the special figure variation effect is executed in the first effect mode. To do. Further, for example, when the high-probability high base game state continues across the big hit game, the special figure variation effect is executed in the second effect mode.

7-3-1-1. First production mode The first production mode includes a number image SG of "1", "3", "5" or "7" and a character image CG corresponding to a player (teammate character) of a team of teams. Four types of effect symbols (effect symbol 1, effect symbol 3, effect symbol 5 and effect symbol 7), and numerical images SG of "2", "4", "6" or "8", and the enemy team. Characterized by four types of effect symbols (effect symbol 2, effect symbol 4, effect symbol 6 and effect symbol 8) including a character image CG corresponding to a player (enemy character A, enemy character B) of "enemy country X representative". It is an effect mode used in the figure variation effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31(A), the effect symbol 1 in the first effect mode is a numerical image SG1 indicating “1”, and a character image CG1 corresponding to the ally character of the ally team. It is a production design including. The color of the numerical image SG1 is “red” (see FIG. 31A). Further, as shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 32(A), the effect symbol 2 is a numerical image SG2 indicating “2” and a character image CG2 corresponding to the enemy character A of the enemy team (“the enemy country X representative”). It is a production design including. The color of the numerical image SG2 is “blue” (see FIG. 32(A)).

As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31(B), the effect symbol 3 is an effect symbol including the numerical image SG3 indicating “3” and the character image CG1 corresponding to the teammate character like the effect symbol 1. .. The color of the number image SG3 is the same "red" as the number image SG1 described above (see FIG. 31(B)). As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 32(B), the effect design 4 is an effect design including a numerical image SG4 indicating “4” and a character image CG3 corresponding to the enemy character B of the enemy team. The enemy character B is a character different from the enemy character A. The color of the numerical image SG4 is the same "blue" as the numerical image SG2 described above (see FIG. 32(B)).

As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31(C), the effect symbol 5 is an effect symbol including the numerical image SG5 indicating “5” and the character image CG1 corresponding to the teammate character like the effect symbol 3. .. The color of the numerical image SG5 is the same "red" as the numerical image SG1 and the like described above (see FIG. 31C). As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 32(C), the effect symbol 6 is a numerical image SG6 indicating “6”, and a character image CG2 corresponding to the enemy character A, like the effect symbol 2 in the first effect mode. It is a production design including. The color of the numerical image SG6 is the same "blue" as the numerical image SG2 described above (see FIG. 32(C)).

As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31(D), the effect image 7 is a numerical image SG7 indicating “7” and the character image CG1 corresponding to the ally character, as in the effect image 1, the effect image 3 and the effect image 5. It is a production pattern including and. The color of the number image SG7 is the same "red" as the number image SG1 and the like described above (see FIG. 31D). As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 32(D), the effect symbol 8 corresponds to the enemy character A, like the numerical image SG8 indicating “8” and the effect symbol 2 and the effect symbol 6 in the first effect mode. It is an effect design including the character image CG2. The color of the numeral image SG8 is the same "blue" as the numeral image SG2 and the like described above (see FIG. 32(D)).

As described above, the "production design 1", "production design 3", "production design 5" and "production design 7" all include the character image CG1 corresponding to the same ally character. On the other hand, all of the "production symbols 2", "production symbols 6" and "production symbols 8" include the character image CG2 corresponding to the same enemy character, and the "production symbols 4" are different from them. The corresponding character image CG3 is included.

Further, the "production design 1", "production design 3", "production design 5" and "production design 7" use the numerical image SG of the same color (red). That is, the odd number symbol SG is "red". On the other hand, the numerical images SG of the same color (blue) are used for all of the "production design 2", "production design 4", "production design 6" and "production design 8". That is, the even numbered symbols SG are "blue", which is different from the odd numbered symbols SG.

7-3-1-2. Second production mode The second production mode includes the number images SG of "1", "3", "5" and "7" and the character image CG corresponding to the player (teammate character) of the teammate. To the player (enemy character C, enemy character D) of the four types of effect symbols, and the number images SG of "2", "4", "6" and "8" and the enemy team "representative of enemy country Y" It is an effect mode that uses four kinds of effect patterns including the corresponding character image CG. However, as shown in each of FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, the effect symbol 1, effect symbol 3, effect symbol 5 and effect symbol 7 in the second effect mode are the same as those in the first effect mode, so description thereof will be omitted. ..

As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 33(A), the effect symbol 2 includes a numerical image SG2 indicating “2” and a character image CG4 corresponding to the enemy character C of the enemy team (“the enemy country Y representative”). It is a production design. The color of the numerical image SG2 is “blue” (see FIG. 33(A)). As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 33(B), the effect symbol 4 is an effect symbol including the numerical image SG4 indicating “4” and the character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D of the enemy team. The enemy character D is a character different from the enemy character C. The color of the numerical image SG4 is the same "blue" as the numerical image SG2 described above (see FIG. 33(B)).

As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 33(C), the effect design 6 is a numerical image SG6 indicating “6”, and a character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D, like the effect design 4 in the second effect mode. It is a production design including. The color of the numerical image SG6 is the same "blue" as the numerical image SG2 and the like described above (see FIG. 33C). As shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 33(D), the effect symbol 8 is a numerical image SG8 indicating “8”, and a character image CG4 corresponding to the enemy character C, like the effect symbol 2 in the second effect mode. It is a production design including. The color of the numerical image SG8 is the same "blue" as the numerical image SG2 and the like described above (see FIG. 33D).

Thus, similarly to the above-described first effect mode, the numerical images SG of the same color (blue) are used for the "effect pattern 2", "effect pattern 6" and "effect pattern 8" in the second effect mode. There is. That is, the even numbered symbols SG are "blue", which is different from the odd numbered symbols SG. However, the "production design 2" and the "production design 8" both include the character image CG4 corresponding to the same enemy character, and the "production design 4" and the "production design 6" correspond to different enemy characters. Included is a character image CG5.

7-3-2. Normal Variation “Normal variation” is an effect that can be performed in response to the start of variable display of a special figure, as described above. Since the special figure variation effect is performed first, it functions as an effect that suggests that the special figure variation effect has started.

7-3-2-1. First Suggested Effect In the present embodiment, the “first suggested effect” can be executed during the execution of the normal fluctuation. The first suggestion effect is an effect that fuels a reach (an effect in which the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same effect symbol).

This 1st suggestion production, the production design which includes the odd number image SG (“production design 1”, “production design 3”, “production design 5” or “production design 7”) is temporarily stopped as the left production design EZ1. When it is performed in the state, the production design including the even number image SG (“production design 2”, “production design 4”, “production design 6” or “production design 8”) is temporarily stopped as the left production design EZ1. It may be done in a state.

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 34(A), during the execution of the normal fluctuation, the "effect symbol 7" including the odd number image SG7 is temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 50a in the vertical direction as the left effect symbol EZ1. In this case, the same "effect symbol 7" as the left effect symbol EZ1 is temporarily stopped as the right effect symbol EZ3 in the vertical center of the display unit 50a. In detail, as the right effect symbol EZ3, when the "effect symbol 6" which is the effect symbol just before "effect factor 7" passes through the vertical center of the display unit 50a, the speed of the variable effect symbol EZ3 in variable display is increased. An image effect that falls (slows down) and distorts whether or not the "production symbol 7" appearing from above the display unit 50a is temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 50a in the vertical direction (that is, whether it is aligned horizontally). It has become.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 35(A), during execution of the normal fluctuation, when the “effect symbol 4” including the even numbered image SG4 is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol EZ1 in the vertical center of the display unit 50a. Means that the same "effect symbol 4" as the left effect symbol EZ1 is temporarily stopped as the right effect symbol EZ3 in the vertical center of the display unit 50a. In detail, as in the case of the above-mentioned "production design 7", when the "production design 3" as the right production design EZ3 passes through the vertical center of the display unit 50a, the speed of the variable display of the right production design EZ3 decreases. , "Demonstration symbol 4" is the content to twist whether to temporarily stop in the vertical center of the display unit 50a.

In the present embodiment, after the first suggestive effect is executed, there are cases where the reach is reached and cases where the reach is not reached. Specifically, for example, after the first suggestion effect shown in FIG. 34(B) is performed, as shown in FIG. 34(C), the same "effect symbol 7" is temporarily used as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3. In the case of stopping and reaching, as shown in FIG. 34(D), when the "left effect symbol EZ1" "effect symbol 7" and the right effect symbol EZ3 of "effect symbol 6" are temporarily stopped and do not reach, respectively. There is. In addition, when the production design including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped as the left production design EZ1 but does not reach, the middle production design EZ2 is temporarily stopped and displayed immediately after that. Then, as shown in FIG. 34(E), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are displayed in a stopped state with "unbalanced".

Further, for example, after the first suggestion effect shown in FIG. 35(B) is executed, as shown in FIG. 35(C), the same “effect symbol 4” is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 35(D), there are cases where the left effect symbol EZ1 is "effect symbol 4" and the right effect symbol EZ3 is "effect symbol 3", which are temporarily stopped and do not reach. is there. In addition, when the production design including the even numbered image SG as the left production design EZ1 is temporarily stopped but does not reach, immediately after that, the middle production design EZ2 is not displayed as a temporary stop and the second suggestion described later is given. The performance is performed. This is different from the case where the effect symbol including the odd number image SG is not reached after the first suggestion effect is temporarily performed as the left effect symbol EZ1.

The first suggestion effect of the present embodiment is an effect that can be executed when the game state is the time saving state. That is, it can be executed in the case of the high probability high base gaming state or the low probability high base gaming state. In addition, after the first suggestion effect is performed, if the effect pattern including the same odd number image SG is temporarily stopped and reaches the reach, the “attack reach” described below is performed. This attack reach is a reach effect that suggests that the "big hit symbol 3" may be won as the lottery result. In other words, it is an effect that suggests that the "big hit pattern 3" is won or lost. On the other hand, after the first suggestion effect is performed, if the effect symbol including the same even number image SG is temporarily stopped and reaches the reach, the “defensive reach” described below is performed. This defensive reach is a reach effect that suggests that the “big hit symbol 5” may be won as a result of the lottery.

Therefore, when the production design including the odd number image SG as the left production design EZ1 is temporarily stopped and the first suggestion production is performed, the player shifts to the attack reach after the execution of the first suggestion production, Or it is possible to recognize whether it will be lost without moving to reach. On the other hand, when the effect design including the even number image SG as the left effect design EZ1 is temporarily stopped and the first suggestion effect is performed, the player shifts to the defensive reach after the execution of the first suggestion effect, Alternatively, it is possible to recognize whether or not it will be a second suggestion effect described later.

In particular, when the "big hit symbol 3" is won when the gaming state is the high-probability-high base gaming state, the "big-hit game 3" associated with the winning is executed, and then the high-probability-high base gaming state is substantially transferred. .. In other words, the high-probability high base game state is continued with the execution of the "big hit game 3".

Also, if the "big hit symbol 5" is won when the gaming state is a high-probability-high base gaming state, the gaming state becomes a low-probability-high base gaming state after the "big jackpot game 5" accompanying the winning is executed. Transition. In other words, with the execution of the "big hit game 5", the high-probability high-base game state is changed to the low-probability high-base ("fall").

Therefore, when the first suggestion production in which the production design including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped as the left production design EZ1 in the high-probability/high-base game state is performed, the player wins the “big hit design 3”. Can be expected. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the defensive reach is not performed after such a first suggestion effect is performed. Therefore, when the first suggestion effect in which the effect symbol including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol EZ1 is performed, the player makes a "big hit symbol" with the special symbol fluctuation (special symbol 2 fluctuation). You can be confident that you will not win "5", that is, the gaming state will not "fall" into the low-probability-high base gaming state thereafter. Thus, it can be said that such a first suggestion effect when the game state is a high-probability/high-base game state is an effect that suggests that the player is not winning a jackpot that is disadvantageous to the player due to the special map variation. ..

On the other hand, when the first suggestion production in which the production design including the even number image SG is temporarily stopped as the left production design EZ1 in the high-probability/high-base game state, the "big hit symbol 5" may be won. The player can recognize that he cannot. Therefore, the player tends to desire that the defensive reach is not performed after the execution of the first suggestion effect. If defensive reach is not performed, it is possible to avoid winning the "big hit symbol 5" in the special map fluctuation, and there is a possibility that the "big jackpot pattern 3" will be won in the next special character fluctuation. This is because. Therefore, after the execution of the first suggestion effect, if the reach does not suggest the possibility of winning the “big hit symbol 5”, the player can be relieved.

7-3-2-2. Second Suggestive Rendering In the present embodiment, the "second suggestive rendering" can be executed during the execution of the normal fluctuation. The second suggestive effect is, like the above-mentioned first suggestive effect, an effect that encourages the player to reach. However, the second suggestive effect may be executed when the reach does not reach after the first suggestive effect in which the effect symbol including the even number images SG is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol EZ1 is executed.

The second suggestive effect of the present embodiment is the image effect shown in FIG. 36(E-1), FIG. 36(E-2) and FIG. 36(E-3). Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 35(D), "production design 4" (production design including an even number image SG) as left production design EZ1 and "production design 3" are provisional as right production design EZ3, respectively. If the player does not reach the reach by stopping, as shown in FIG. 36(E-1), the medium effect design EZ2 that is being displayed in a varying manner disappears from the display unit 50a. Then, "effect symbol 4" including the numerical image SG4 forming the left effect symbol EZ1 and "effect symbol 3" including the numerical image SG3 forming the right effect symbol EZ3 are enlarged and displayed (Fig. 36 (E-1 )reference).

The "effect symbol 4" and the "effect symbol 3" move on the display unit 50a a plurality of times in the left-right direction. Specifically, when "effect symbol 4" and "effect symbol 3" shown in FIG. 36(E-1) are moved to the right side of the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 36(E-2), A part of the "effect symbol 3" disappears from the display unit 50a, and a new "effect symbol 4" appears from the left side of the display unit 50a. As a result, two "effect symbols 4" are displayed on the display unit 50a.

Further, when the "effect symbol 4" and the "effect symbol 3" shown in FIG. 36(E-1) are moved to the left side of the display unit 50a, the "effect symbol" is produced as shown in FIG. 36(E-3). A part of the "design 4" disappears from the display unit 50a, and a new "effect design 3" appears from the right side of the display unit 50a. As a result, two "effect symbols 3" are displayed on the display unit 50a.

The second suggestion effect of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 36(E-1) along with the movement of the effect symbol to the right when the execution is started in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-1). The effect mode changes from the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-2). Then, along with the leftward movement of the effect design, the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-2) to the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-1), and further the effect shown in FIG. 36(E-3). It changes into a mode. Then, with the movement of the effect symbol to the right, the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-1) and further the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-2) are changed. That is, the second suggestion effect is the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-1), the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-2), or the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-3), with the movement of the effect symbol. It is an effect that repeats the change to the effect mode shown.

In addition, after execution of the above-mentioned second suggestive effect, there are cases where the reach is established and cases where the reach is not established. Specifically, for example, after the second suggestion effect is performed, as shown in FIG. 37(F-1), the same "effect symbol 4" as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 is temporarily stopped. When reaching, as shown in FIG. 37(F-2), when the same "effect symbol 3" as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 is temporarily stopped and reaches reach, FIG. 35(D). As shown in, there is a case in which the "effect symbol 4" as the left effect symbol EZ1 and the "effect symbol 3" as the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and do not reach.

In the present embodiment, after the execution of the second suggestion effect is completed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-2), the reach using the two “effect symbols 4” shown in FIG. 37(F-1) is reached. .. Moreover, after ending in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-3), the reach using the two "effect patterns 7" shown in FIG. 37(F-2) is reached.

In addition, after the execution of the second suggestion effect is completed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-1), as shown in FIG. 35(D), the left effect symbol EZ1 is “effect symbol 4” and the right effect symbol EZ3. Will temporarily stop at each of the "production symbols 3". After that, the middle effect symbol EZ2 is temporarily stopped, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display section 50a with "staring" as shown in FIG. 37(F-3).

The second suggestive effect of the present embodiment is an effect that can be executed when the game state is the time saving state, like the first suggestive effect. That is, it can be executed in the case of the high probability high base gaming state or the low probability high base gaming state. In addition, after the second suggestion effect is performed, if the effect symbol including the same odd number image SG is temporarily stopped and reaches the reach, the “attack reach” described below is performed. On the other hand, after the second suggestion effect is performed, if the effect symbol including the same even number image SG is temporarily stopped to reach, the "defensive reach" described below is performed.

As described above, in the second suggestion effect, the effect symbol including the same odd number image SG is temporarily stopped and becomes the reach, and the effect symbol including the same even number image SG is temporarily stopped and becomes the reach. And, it is a production that does not suggest that you will lose without reaching. Therefore, when the second suggestion effect is performed, the player shifts to the attack reach which suggests that there is a possibility of winning the “big hit game 3”, or there is a possibility of winning the “big hit game 5”. I don't know if it will shift to a defensive reach that suggests something or if it will be lost. Therefore, the second suggestive effect can distract the player. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the second suggestion effect being executed.

7-3-3. Reach "Reach" is an effect in which the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same effect symbol after the normal fluctuation. Since the reach may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, it functions as an effect in which a jackpot game may be performed. Further, since it may develop to reach productions such as “attack reach” and “defensive reach” after that, it also functions as an indication that there is a possibility that reach production may be performed.

7-3-4. Attack Reach “Attack Reach” is a production that may be performed after the above-mentioned reach, and is a reach production in which a player of a team (teammate character) attacks in a soccer game. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit", it functions as an effect that suggests that a jackpot game may be played. In other words, it functions as an effect that suggests the possibility of executing "big hit game 3". In addition, since it is not performed when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 5", it also functions as an effect that suggests that "big jackpot game 5" is not performed (not in the normal probability state) To do.

7-3-5. Defensive reach "Defensive reach" is an effect that may be performed after the above-mentioned reach, and is a reach effect in which the players of the enemy team (the various enemy characters described above) attack in a soccer match. Since it may be performed only when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit", it functions as an effect that suggests that the jackpot game is to be played. In addition, because the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is any of the "jackpot symbol 3", "jackpot symbol 4" and "jackpot symbol 5", "jackpot game 3", "jackpot game 4" ] And "big hit game 5" may be performed (high probability state may continue or normal probability state may occur) Function.

7-3-6. Reversing production "Reversing production" is a production that may be performed in the above-mentioned defensive reach, and is a production in which the player of the team of the other team steals the ball from the player (enemy character) of the enemy team to reach the goal. Since it may be performed only when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "bonus symbol 3", it functions as an effect that suggests that "bonus game 3" is performed.

7-3-7. Failure production “Failure production” is a production that may be performed in the above-mentioned defense reach, in which a player of an ally team cannot shoot the ball from a player of the enemy team (enemy character) and is shot. is there. Since it may be performed only when the result of the jackpot symbol type determination is "big hit symbol 4" or "big hit symbol 5", either "big hit game 4" or "big hit game 5" is performed. It functions as a suggestion.

7-3-8. Big hit OP effect "Big hit OP effect" is an effect that may be performed according to a transition to the big hit effect mode in which "big hit game 3" is executed, and is an effect in which the big hit title is displayed on the display unit 50a. .. After that, since the first round game in the "big hit game 3" is performed, it functions as an effect that suggests the start of the round game of the "big hit game 3".

7-3-9. Blessing movie The “blessing movie” is a production that may be performed when the “big hit game 3” is being executed, and is a production that celebrates the victory of the team. Since it is performed only when the "big hit game 3" is being executed, it functions as an effect that suggests that the "big hit game 3" is being executed. Further, after that, since the state is substantially in the high probability state, it also functions as an effect that suggests that the high probability state is set.

7-3-10. Keeper Defense Production “Keeper Defense Production” is a production in which the keeper tries to save the shots shot by the players (enemy characters) of the enemy team. In the first round of the “big hit game 4” and the “big hit game 5”, since the effect contents are different depending on whether the game ball passes through the specific area 16 or not, the high probability state, or , It functions as an effect that suggests that a normal probability state is reached.

7-3-11. Player introduction performance "Player introduction performance" is a performance that may be performed after the "keeper defense performance", and is a performance in which a teammate player or a teammate player is introduced. An ally character is introduced as a player of the ally team. An enemy character is introduced as a player of the enemy team.

7-3-12. Jackpot ED production A
The "big hit ED effect A" is an effect that may be performed after the last round game in the "big hit game 3" and the "big hit game 4" is completed, and is an effect that notifies the end of the big hit game. After that, in order to shift to the “high-probability-high base gaming state”, it functions as an effect that suggests the shift to the “high-probability-high base gaming state”.

7-3-13. Jackpot ED production B
The “big hit ED effect B” is an effect that may be performed after the last round game in the “big hit game 5” is completed, and is an effect that notifies the end of the big hit game. After that, in order to shift to the “low probability high base gaming state”, it functions as an effect that suggests shifting to the “low probability high base gaming state”.

7-4. Flow of various effects in special figure change effect Next, the main effect flow of special figure change effect will be described. In each effect that constitutes the effect flow, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays an effect image on the display unit 50a and, in accordance with the effect image display, a light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 or the panel lamp 54 and a speaker. A sound effect using 52 can be executed. In the special figure variation effect described below, the variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are also performed, but the illustration of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is omitted. To do.

In the special figure fluctuation production in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “first attack jackpot fluctuation”, “second attack jackpot fluctuation”, “first SP loss fluctuation” or “second SP loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 38(A). Then, the effect flow composed of “normal fluctuation”→“reach”→“attack reach” is executed.

In the special figure change effect in which the special figure 2 change pattern is “first reverse big hit change” or “second reverse big hit change”, as shown in FIG. 38B, “normal change”→“reach”→“defensive reach” The effect flow composed of “” is executed. In addition, as will be described in detail later, a “reverse action” is performed in the “defensive reach” of the “reverse jackpot variation” (“first reverse jackpot variation”, “second reverse jackpot variation”).

In the special figure variation production in which the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first defensive jackpot variation” or “second defensive jackpot variation”, as shown in FIG. 38C, “normal variation”→“reach”→“defensive reach” The effect flow composed of “” is executed. As will be described later in detail, a "failure effect" is performed in the "defensive reach" of the "defensive jackpot variation" ("first defensive jackpot variation", "second defensive jackpot variation").

It should be noted that the special figure 2 fluctuation patterns are "first shortened A-loose variation", "second shortened A-loose variation", "third shortened A-loose variation", "first shortened B-loose variation", "second shortened B-loose variation". In the special figure variation effect of “variation” or “third shortened B loss variation”, an effect flow including only “normal variation” is executed.

Next, the main effects executed in the special figure variation effect will be specifically described. In the special figure variation effect described below, variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are also performed, but illustration of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is omitted. To do.

7-4-1. Flow of Attack Reach Next, the flow of “attack reach” will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 sets "attack reach" when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "first attack jackpot variation", "second attack jackpot variation", "first SP loss variation" or "second SP loss variation". It is feasible.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to develop into an attack reach after the execution of the reach using the "effect symbol 1", the "effect symbol 3", the "effect symbol 5" or the "effect symbol 7". Specifically, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first SP loss variation” or “second SP loss variation”, the effect control microcomputer 121, based on the effect symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 39 (A), Substantially, one type of effect symbol is selected from among three types of effect symbols (“effect symbol 1”, “effect symbol 3” and “effect symbol 5”). Then, after performing "reach" with the selected effect design, the attack reach is performed.

On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first attack jackpot variation” or “second attack jackpot variation”, the effect control microcomputer 121, based on the effect symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 39 (B) One type of effect symbol is selected from four types of effect symbols (“effect symbol 1”, “effect symbol 3”, “effect symbol 5” and “effect symbol 7”). Then, after performing "reach" with the selected effect design, the attack reach is performed.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 39(A) and 39(B), the effect is produced only when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first attack jackpot variation” or “second attack jackpot variation”. As the design, "effect design 7" can be selected. That is, when the "representation" is reached in the "effect symbol 7" in the high-probability-high base game state, the execution of the "big hit game 3" is confirmed.

FIG. 40(A) to FIG. 40(F) are diagrams showing how “attack reach” is performed. When the "normal variation" is started in the special figure variation effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed on the display section 50a as shown in FIG. 40(A). Then, as shown in FIG. 40(B), “reach” is established. At this time, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the effect symbol selected based on the effect symbol type determination table described above (see FIG. 40(B)). That is, when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “first attack jackpot variation” or “second attack jackpot variation”, “production symbol 1”, “rendering symbol 3”, “rendering symbol 5” or “rendering symbol 7” The left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed. Further, in the case of "1st SP loss variation" or "2nd SP loss variation", a temporary stop display is performed with "effect symbol 1", "effect symbol 3" or "effect symbol 5".

After the "reach" is established, the "attack reach" is performed. In the “attack reach”, as shown in FIG. 40(C), a scene in which a teammate character of a teammate makes an attack is displayed on the display unit 50a. Specifically, a scene in which a teammate character corresponding to the character image CG1 included in the temporarily stopped left effect symbol EZ1 and right effect symbol EZ3 appears and dribbles the "pitch (field)" is displayed (FIG. 40). (See (C)). Note that, as shown in FIGS. 31(A) to 30(D), the "production design 1", "production design 3", "production design 5", and "production design 7" all correspond to the same ally character. The character image CG1 is included. Therefore, in the attack reach of the present embodiment, the same ally character appears every time.

Then, as shown in FIG. 40(D), a scene in which the teammate character shoots is displayed. After that, when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “attack jackpot variation” (“first attack jackpot variation”, “second attack jackpot variation”), as shown in FIG. A scene in which the shoot shot by the ally character is goal is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped in a mode that suggests the execution of the "big hit game 3" (for example, a double eye of "effect symbol 7"). indicate. On the other hand, when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “SP loss variation” (“first SP loss variation”, “second SP loss variation”), the ally character shoots as shown in FIG. 40(F). A mode in which the shoot is dislodged is displayed on the display unit 50a and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a loss (for example, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are "effect symbol 7" and the medium effect symbol EZ2 is " The display is stopped with the effect design 6").

7-4-2. Flow of Defensive Reach Next, the flow of "defensive reach" will be described. The production control microcomputer 121, when the special map 2 variation pattern is "first reverse jackpot variation", "second reverse jackpot variation", "first defense jackpot variation" or "second defense jackpot variation", "defense reach." Is possible.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to develop into a defensive reach after execution of the reach using the "production design 2", "production design 4", "production design 6" or "production design 8". Specifically, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "first reverse jackpot variation" or "second reverse jackpot variation", the effect control microcomputer 121 displays in the effect symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 39(C). Based on the four types of effect symbols (“effect symbol 2”, “effect symbol 4”, “effect symbol 6” and “effect symbol 8”), one type of effect symbol is selected. Then, after performing "reach" with the selected effect design, defensive reach is performed.

On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first defensive jackpot variation” or “second defensive jackpot variation”, the effect control microcomputer 121, based on the effect symbol type determination table shown in FIG. 39 (D) One type of production design is selected from among four types of production designs (“production design 2”, “production design 4”, “production design 6” and “production design 8”). Then, after performing "reach" with the selected effect design, defensive reach is performed.

As shown in FIG. 39(C), when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "first reverse jackpot variation" or "second reverse jackpot variation" in the first effect mode, "effect symbol 2", " The effect symbols 6 and 8 are all assigned with a probability of 33%, and the effect symbols 4 are assigned with a probability of 1%. Therefore, in the case of the first effect mode, one type of effect pattern (“effect pattern 4”) is more than other effect patterns (“effect pattern 2”, “effect pattern 6” and “effect pattern 8”). Hard to choose.

When the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "first reverse jackpot fluctuation" or "second reverse jackpot fluctuation" in the second effect mode, both "effect symbol 2" and "effect symbol 8" have a probability of 49%. , “Demonstration symbol 4” and “Demonstration symbol 6” are all distributed with a probability of 1% (see FIG. 39(C)). Therefore, in the case of the second effect mode, two types of effect symbols (“effect symbol 4” and “effect symbol 6”) are selected from other effect symbols (“effect symbol 2” and “effect symbol 8”). It's hard to be done.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 39(D), when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first defensive jackpot variation” or “second defensive jackpot variation” in the first effect mode, “effect symbol 2”, “ The effect symbols 6 and 8 are all distributed with a probability of 20%, and the effect symbols 4 are distributed with a probability of 40%. Therefore, in the case of the first effect mode, one kind of effect symbol (“effect symbol 4”) is selected from other effect symbols (“effect symbol 2”, “effect symbol 6” and “effect symbol 8”). It is easy to be affected.

When the special figure 2 variation pattern is "first defensive jackpot variation" or "second defensive jackpot variation" in the second effect mode, both "rendering symbol 2" and "rendering symbol 8" have a probability of 15%. , "Demonstration symbol 4" and "Demonstration symbol 6" are all assigned with a probability of 35% (see FIG. 39(D)). Therefore, in the case of the second effect mode, two types of effect symbols (“effect symbol 4” and “effect symbol 6”) are selected from other effect symbols (“effect symbol 2” and “effect symbol 8”). It is easy to be affected.

41(A) to 41(F) are diagrams showing how "defensive reach" is performed. When the "normal variation" is started in the special figure variation effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. 41(A). Then, as shown in FIG. 41(B), when the "reach" is established, the "defensive reach" is performed.

In the "defensive reach", as shown in FIG. 41(C), the display section 50a shows a scene where a player of the enemy team (enemy character A, enemy character B, enemy character C or enemy character D) attacks. 50a. Specifically, a scene in which an enemy character corresponding to the character image CG included in the temporarily stopped left effect symbol EZ1 and right effect symbol EZ3 appears and dribbles the “pitch (field)” is displayed (FIG. 41). (See (C)).

Note that, as described above, the "production design 2", "production design 4", "production design 6", and "production design 8" each include the character image CG corresponding to the enemy character. That is, as shown in FIG. 32(A), FIG. 32(C), and FIG. 32(D), "effect symbol 2", "effect symbol 6", and "effect symbol 8" used in the case of the first effect mode. Includes a character image CG2 corresponding to the enemy character A. Further, as shown in FIG. 32(B), the "effect symbol 4" used in the case of the first effect mode includes a character image CG3 corresponding to the enemy character B.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 33(A) and 33(D), in the “effect symbol 2” and the “effect symbol 8” used in the second effect mode, the character image CG4 corresponding to the enemy character C is displayed. It is included. Further, as shown in FIGS. 33(B) and 33(C), in the “effect symbol 4” and the “effect symbol 6” used in the second effect mode, the character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D is displayed. It is included.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 41(B), when the "reach" is established in the "production symbol 4" in the first effect mode, as shown in FIG. 41(C), "production symbol 4". "Defense reach" in which the enemy character B corresponding to the character image CG3 included in is appears. Although not shown, when the "reach" is established in the "production design 2", "production design 6" or "production design 8" in the first production mode, the character image CG2 included in the production design. “Defensive reach” in which the enemy character A corresponding to appears appears.

Similarly in the case of the second effect mode, when the "reach" is established with the "effect symbol 4" or the "effect symbol 6", the enemy character D corresponding to the character image CG5 included in the effect symbol appears. "Defensive reach" is held. In addition, when the "reach" is established with the "effect symbol 2" or the "effect symbol 8", the "defensive reach" in which the enemy character C corresponding to the character image CG4 included in the effect symbol appears is performed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 41(D), a scene in which the player of the team on the team slides to take the ball is displayed. When the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “first reverse jackpot variation” or “second reverse jackpot variation”, a scene in which a teammate player takes the ball and a teammate player shoots is displayed. The "reverse effect" is displayed on the section 50a. In the "reverse production", as shown in FIG. 41(E), the scene in which the shoot shot by the player of the team is goal is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are "big hit game 3". It is stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests execution (for example, double eyes of "effect design 4").

On the other hand, when the special pattern 2 variation pattern is “first defensive jackpot variation” or “second defensive jackpot variation”, the display unit 50a displays a scene in which the player of the team on the team cannot capture the ball. Failure production” is performed. In the "failure effect", as shown in FIG. 41(F), a scene in which a player (enemy character A, enemy character B, enemy character C, or enemy character D) of the enemy team is about to shoot is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the same manner as the manner in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a loss (for example, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are "effect symbol 4" and the middle effect symbol EZ2 is "effect symbol 3"). Stop display.

In the present embodiment, with regard to the enemy character appearing in the defensive reach in the first effect mode, the enemy character B is the “ace class” player of the “enemy country X representative”. That is, the enemy character B is set to be a player having a higher skill than the enemy character A. Then, the "production design 4" in the first production mode includes the character image CG3 corresponding to the enemy character B of the "ace class", and the defensive reach after the "reach" in the "production design 4" is reached. Then, the enemy character B appears.

Further, as described above, in the first effect mode, if the special figure 2 variation pattern is "first reverse jackpot variation" or "second reverse jackpot variation", "effect symbol 4" is hard to be selected. In the case where the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first defensive jackpot variation” or “second defensive jackpot variation”, “effect symbol 4” is most easily selected.

Therefore, by performing the "reach" using the "drafting pattern 4", it is possible to make the player associate with the enemy character B appearing in the defensive reach thereafter that it is difficult for the player of the ally team to take the ball. Is becoming That is, in the defensive reach in which the enemy character B appears, the player can be made aware that the failure effect is more likely to be executed than the reverse effect at the time of the "reach" using the "effect pattern 4". There is. That is, the player can grasp the subsequent development of the production based on the production contents. Thus, at the time of the "reach" using the "drafting pattern 4", the "big hit game 4" or the "big hit game 5", which is more disadvantageous in the number of rounds than the "big hit game 3", is executed after that. It is possible to fuel it.

On the other hand, by performing a "reach" using a production design other than the "production design 4" ("production design 2", "production design 6" or "production design 8"), an enemy that appears in the defensive reach thereafter. It is possible for the character A to remind the player that the player of the team is likely to take the ball. That is, in the defensive reach in which the enemy character A that is "lower" than the enemy character B appears, it is possible to make the player aware at the time of "reach" that there is a high possibility that the reversal effect is executed. ing. Therefore, at the time of "reach" using the "production design 2", "production design 6" or "production design 8", the "big hit game 3" is executed rather than the "reach" using the "production design 4". Players have come to expect.

Further, as for the enemy character appearing in the defensive reach in the second effect mode, the enemy character D is set as the "ace-class" player of the "enemy country Y representative", as in the first effect mode. That is, the enemy character D is set to be a player having a higher skill than the enemy character C. Then, the "production design 4" and the "production design 6" of the second production mode include the character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D of the "ace class", and the "production design 4" or "production." In the defensive reach after the "reach" in the "pattern 6", the enemy character D appears.

As described above, in the second effect mode, in the case where the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first reverse big hit variation” or “second reverse big hit variation”, in addition to “effect symbol 4”, “effect symbol 6” Is also the most difficult (equivalent) to be selected, and when the special figure 2 variation pattern is “first defensive jackpot variation” or “second defensive jackpot variation”, “drafting design 4” and “drafting design 6” are the most ( Equally) easy to select.

Therefore, by performing the "reach" using the "production design 4" or the "production design 6", it is difficult for the player of the team to take the ball from the enemy character D appearing in the subsequent defense reach to the player. It is possible to associate it. That is, the player is aware that the failure effect is more likely to be executed in the defensive reach in which the enemy character D appears than in the reverse effect, at the time of the "reach" using the "effect pattern 4" or the "effect pattern 6". It is possible to Therefore, at the time of “reach” using the “design symbol 4” or the “design symbol 6”, the “big jackpot game 4” or the “big jackpot game 5”, which is more disadvantageous than the “big jackpot game 3”, is subsequently executed. It is possible to fuel a sense of crisis.

Moreover, in the case of the second effect mode, the number of effect symbols including the character image CG corresponding to the enemy character of "ace class" is larger than that in the case of the first effect mode. Therefore, in the second effect mode, there are many patterns (routes) in which the failure effect is more likely to be executed in the defensive reach than in the first effect mode. That is, the pattern (route) of “reach”→“defensive reach”→“failure effect” using the effect design 4 and the pattern of “reach”→“defensive reach”→“failure effect” using the effect pattern 6 ( There is a route). When there are a plurality of such patterns, it is possible to make the player aware that it may be more likely to occur (prone to a failure effect) because there are more options than when there is only one pattern. It is possible. Therefore, it is possible to more certainly encourage the player's sense of crisis. That is, in the second effect mode, the player's sense of crisis can be more certainly fueled than in the first effect mode.

By performing the "reach" using the "production design 2" or the "production design 8", it is easy for the player of the team of the team to rob the player from the enemy character C appearing in the subsequent defense reach. It is possible to associate it. That is, in the defensive reach in which the enemy character C, which is "lower" than the enemy character D, appears, it is possible to make the player aware at the time of "reach" that the reverse effect is likely to be executed. ing. Therefore, at the time of the "reach" using the "production design 2" or the "production design 8", the "big hit game 3" is executed rather than the "reach" using the "production design 4" and the "production design 6". Players can now expect.

7-5. Flow of various effects in the jackpot effect mode Next, the effect flow of the main jackpot effect mode will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays an effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect that constitutes the effect flow, and according to the effect image display, a light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 or the board lamp 54, A sound effect using the speaker 52 can be executed.

In the jackpot production mode in which the “jackpot game 3” is executed (the game ball passes through to the specific area 16), as shown in FIG. 42(A), “jackpot OP production”→“blessing movie”→“jackpot ED” The effect flow composed of "effect A" is executed. In the jackpot production mode in which the “jackpot game 4” is executed (the game ball passes through to the specific area 16), as shown in FIG. 42(B), “keeper defense presentation”→“player introduction presentation”→“jackpot” An effect flow including "ED effect A" is executed. In the jackpot production mode (without passing the game ball to the specific area 16) in which the “jackpot game 5” is executed, as shown in FIG. 42(C), “keeper defense presentation”→“player introduction presentation”→“jackpot” An effect flow including "ED effect B" is executed.

Next, the main effects executed in the jackpot effect mode will be specifically described. First, I will explain the "blessing movie". The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the "blessing movie" in the big hit effect mode in which the "big hit game 3" is executed.

43(A) to 43(D) are diagrams showing specific effects in the jackpot effect mode in which the "big hit game 3" is executed. When "big hit game 3" is started, "big hit OP effect" is performed. In the "big hit OP effect", as shown in FIG. 43(A), a start image G200 (image of "super big hit") that suggests the start of a 16-round big hit game, and a right-handed image G201 that prompts "right hitting". (Arrow image) is displayed on the display unit 50a. After that, a "blessing movie" is held at the start of the first round game. In the “blessing movie”, as shown in FIG. 43(B), a movie image G202 that the team is pleased to win is displayed on the display unit 50a.

When the 16th round game of "big hit game 3" ends, if the game ball has passed through the specific area 16 in the first round game, "big hit ED effect A" is performed. In the "big hit ED effect A", as shown in FIG. 43(C), a probability variation transition image G203 (an image of "probability variation mode entry") indicating a transition to the probability variation effect mode is displayed on the display unit 50a. On the other hand, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 in the first round game, the "big hit ED effect B" is performed. In the "big hit ED effect B", as shown in FIG. 43(D), a time saving transition image G204 (an image of "entering time saving mode") indicating a transition to the time saving effect mode is displayed on the display unit 50a.

Next, the "keeper defense effect" and the "player introduction effect" will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute the "keeper defense production" and the "player introduction production" in the big hit production mode in which the "big hit game 4" or the "big hit game 5" is executed.

44(A) to 44(E) are diagrams showing specific effects in the jackpot effect mode in which the "big hit game 4" or the "big hit game 5" is executed. As described above, when the “big hit game 4” or the “big hit game 5” is executed, “defensive jackpot fluctuation” (“first defensive jackpot fluctuation” or “second defensive jackpot fluctuation”) is used as the special pattern 2 variation pattern. ) Is selected (see FIG. 28).

In the special view variation effect of "defensive big hit variation", after "failure effect" (see FIG. 38(C)) is performed in "defensive reach", "big hit game 4" or "big hit game 5" is started , The right-handed image G201 is displayed on the display unit 50a, and at the same time as the start of the first round game, the "keeper defense effect" as shown in FIG. 44(A) is performed.

In the "keeper defense effect", as shown in FIG. 44(A), a scene in which the teammate's keeper stands in front of the goal is displayed on the display unit 50a as the first round effect. Then, when the game ball passes through the specific area 16 in the first round game, as shown in FIG. 44(C), along with the scene in which the keeper of the team of friends prevents the shoot, "High probability high base A high-probability suggestive image G206 (an image of “success”) that suggests that the game state is entered is displayed on the display unit 50a. On the other hand, when the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 in the first round game, as shown in FIG. A low-probability suggestion image G207 (an image of “failure”) that suggests that the “probability high base gaming state” is entered is displayed on the display unit 50a. As described above, in the first round of the "big hit game 4", the game balls substantially pass through the specific area 16, and in the first round of the "big hit game 5", the The game ball does not pass through the specific area 16. Therefore, when the "big hit game 4" is executed, a scene in which the keeper of the team of friends prevents the shoot and the high probability suggestion image G206 are displayed, and when the "big hit game 5" is executed, A scene in which a shoot shot by a player of the team reaches a goal and a low-probability suggestive image G207 are displayed. Even when the “big hit game 4” is being executed, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16, a scene shot by a player of the enemy team makes a goal and a low probability suggestion image G207. Is displayed. After that, the "player introduction performance" is performed in response to the start of the third round game.

In the "player introduction effect", as shown in FIG. 44(E), an introduction image G208 that introduces players (teammate characters, etc.) of a team of friends is displayed on the display unit 50a, or players of a team of teammates (enemy character A, An introduction image introducing the enemy character B, the enemy character C, the enemy character D, etc.) may be displayed on the display unit 50a. Specifically, for example, it is introduced that the enemy character B and the enemy character D are “ace class” players. As a result, the player reaches the enemy character B that appears through the reach of the "effect symbol 4" in the first effect mode, and the reach of the "effect symbol 4" or "effect symbol 6" in the second effect mode. The enemy character D appearing after passing through will know that he is a tough player. Then, in the defensive reach in which the enemy character B or the enemy character D appears, it is possible to give a sense of anxiety that "big hit game 4" or "big hit game 5" will be executed after that. There is. Therefore, in the defensive reach that has passed the reach of the "production design 4" in the first production mode, and in the defensive reach that has reached the reach of the "production design 4" or the "production design 6" in the second production mode, the player It is possible to surely fuel the sense of crisis.

When the 4th round game of "big hit game 4" or "big hit game 5" ends, if the game ball has passed through the specific area 16 in the 1st round game, "big hit ED effect A" is performed. (See FIG. 43(C)). On the other hand, in the round game of the first round, if the game ball has not passed through the specific area 16, "big hit ED effect B" is performed (see FIG. 43(D)).

8. Effects of the First Embodiment As described in detail above, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment has a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns that are an attack reach and a special defense fluctuation pattern that are defensive reach in the time saving state. is there. Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that does not tire the player. Moreover, even after the stop display with the combination of the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ3 made up of different number images SG as shown in FIG. It is possible to expect execution. Thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the production.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the attack reach and the defensive reach can be executed after being stopped and displayed by the combination of the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ3 composed of different number images SG as shown in FIG. 35(D). ing. Therefore, when stopped and displayed with a combination of different number images SG, it is possible to make the player expect an attack reach and a defensive reach, and to pay attention to the subsequent development of the effect. Is becoming

Further, the defensive reach of the present embodiment is an effect in which the "big hit game 5" in which the game state shifts to the "low probability high base game state" is easily executed thereafter, and the attack reach is the game state. The “big hit game 3” that shifts to the “high-probability-high base game state” is an effect that is easily executed thereafter. Therefore, after being stopped and displayed by the combination of the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ3 made up of different number images SG as shown in FIG. 35D, it is easier for the player to expect the attack reach to be executed than the defense reach. Therefore, when stopped and displayed with a combination of different number images SG, the player can improve interest in the subsequent development of the effect.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the first suggestive production that fuels the reach using the same numeral image SG4 is performed, the player is expected to execute the “big hit game 5”. It is possible. In addition, when the first suggestion production that fuels the reach using the same number image SG7 is performed, the player is expected to execute the “big hit game 3”, which is more advantageous than the “big hit game 5”. Is possible.

On the other hand, when the second suggestion effect is performed, the player does not know whether the attack reach, the defensive reach, or the loss without the reach will occur. That is, the development after the second suggestion production is unknown to the player. Therefore, unlike the first suggestion effect that encourages the reach using the same number image SG4, it is possible to make the player expect to execute the attack reach after that. That is, it is possible to expect the player to expect the execution of the "big hit game 3".

It should be noted that unlike the first suggestive effect that encourages the reach using the same number image SG7, the player can be made aware of the execution of the defensive reach after that. That is, it is possible to make the player aware that a jackpot game that is disadvantageous to the player may be played. Thus, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension.

In addition, the player can expect the jackpot game to be executed at the time of executing the first suggestion effect that fuels the reach using the same numeral image SG4, and at the time of executing the second suggestion effect thereafter. You can expect the jackpot game to be given up again. In other words, the player can expect that the jackpot game may be executed a plurality of times in one special figure variation effect.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the first suggestion effect that drives the reach using the same number image SG7 is performed, the second suggestion effect is not performed after the execution. Therefore, it is possible to make the effect structure after the first suggestion effect is different from the effect structure after the first suggestion effect, which stimulates the reach using the same number image SG4. Is becoming

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the probability that SP reach is performed after the execution of the first suggestive production that drives the reach using the same number image SG7 and the SP reach is performed after the execution of the second suggestive production. The probability is different. Therefore, the player's expectation that SP reach will be performed after the first suggestion effect that drives the reach using the same number image SG7 is executed, and SP reach after the second suggestion effect is executed. It is possible to differ from the player's expectation that the game will be performed.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the probability that SP reach is performed after the execution of the first suggestive production that drives the reach using the same number image SG4 and the SP reach is performed after the execution of the second suggestive production. Since the probability of being performed is different, the player's expectation that SP reach will be performed after the execution of the first suggestion production that drives the reach using the same number image SG4, and the second suggestion production is executed. It is possible to differ from the player's expectation that SP reach will be performed after the player has played.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the player's expectation that SP reach will be performed after the first suggestive production that drives the reach using the same number image SG4 is executed, is the same as the player's expectation. It is possible to make the player's expectation that the SP reach will be performed after the first suggestion effect that drives the reach using the number image SG7 is executed.

Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, among the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ3 used in the first effect mode, in the defense reach, the enemy character B shown in FIG. 41(F) shoots without being robbed of the ball. One type of effect design (effect pattern 4) is provided as effect patterns EZ1 and EZ3 that suggest that the effect contents are likely to be produced. Further, among the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ3 used in the second effect mode, in the defense reach, an effect suggesting that the enemy character D is likely to be the effect content to shoot without being robbed of the ball, as shown in FIG. 41(F). As the symbols EZ1 and EZ3, two types of effect symbols (effect symbols 4 and effect symbols 6) are provided.

Thus, in the present embodiment, it is possible to show the player a lot or a little pattern (route) which is the effect contents in which the enemy character B or the enemy character D shoots without being robbed of the ball. That is, in the first effect mode, after the reach using the effect symbol 4 is shown, the player is shown the defensive reach of the pattern in which the enemy character B corresponding to the character image CG3 included in the effect symbol 4 appears. It is possible.

On the other hand, in the second effect mode, after the reach using the effect design 4 is shown, a pattern in which the enemy character D corresponding to the character image CG5 included in the effect design 4 appears and the reach using the effect design 6 are shown. After showing, the player can be shown a defensive reach of two patterns of a pattern in which the enemy character D corresponding to the character image CG5 included in the effect design 6 appears. Therefore, the player comes to pay attention to the types of the effect symbols EZ1 and EZ3 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in accordance with the defense reach, and it is possible to improve the interest of the special figure variation effect.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 41(E), the effect contents in which the player of the enemy team (each enemy character) is robbed of the ball, that is, the player of the team of the team plays the ball. It is possible to let the player understand that the reversal effect is an advantageous effect for the player from the contents of the effect that the player takes to score the goal. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 41(F), from the effect contents in which the player of the enemy team (each enemy character) shoots without losing the ball, that is, the effect contents in which the player of the ally team cannot take the ball, It is possible for the player to recognize that the failure effect is a disadvantageous effect for the player.

Therefore, like the second effect mode, when there are relatively many effect symbols including the character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D (when there are two effect symbols 4 and 6), the first effect mode. Rather, it is possible to fuel a sense of danger that the disadvantageous “big hit game 4” or “big hit game 5” is executed thereafter.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, in the first effect mode, the effect pattern 4 including the character image CG3 corresponding to the enemy character B, and further, the execution of the defense reach in which the enemy character B appears, the figure. It is possible to inform the player in advance that the failure effect including the effect content shown in 41(F) is easily derived. Further, in the second effect mode, the effect symbol 4 and the effect symbol 6 including the character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D, and further, the execution of the defense reach in which the enemy character D appears, is shown in FIG. 41(F). It is possible to notify the player in advance that the failure effect is likely to be derived.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the odd number image SG is "red", while the even number image SG is "blue" different from that. Therefore, in the second suggestion production, it is easy for the player to visually understand whether or not the reach is likely to occur, and further whether or not the reach is advantageous. Specifically, for example, when the second suggestion effect is performed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-1), “blue” and odd numbers (“4”) and odd numbers (“4”) of the number images SG are displayed on the display unit 50a. Since the “7”) number image SG and “red” are mixed, it is easy for the player to recognize at a glance that the production mode is unlikely to reach. Further, for example, when the second suggestion effect is being performed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-2), a plurality of “blue” of the even number (“4”) number images SG are displayed on the display unit 50a. Therefore, it is easy to understand at a glance that when the reach is changed from this effect mode, the “defensive reach” is performed instead of the “attack reach”. Further, for example, when the second suggestion effect is being performed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 36(E-3), a plurality of odd numbers (“7”) of the number images SG “red” are displayed on the display unit 50a. Therefore, it is easy to understand at a glance that the "attack reach" is performed when the reach is changed from this effect mode. Further, the situation (state) of the presentation mode of the second suggestive production is visually easy for the player to understand.

9. Modification Example Next, a modification example of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment will be described. In the description of the modified example, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 according to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be combined appropriately. Further, the technical features in the first embodiment and the modified examples described below can be appropriately deleted unless they are described as essential in this specification.

In the first embodiment, the second suggestive effect (special suggestive effect) does not reach the reach after the first suggestive effect in which the effect symbol including the even number image SG is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol EZ1 is executed. It is a performance that can be executed if However, after the first suggestion effect in which the effect symbol including the odd number image SG is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol EZ1, the second suggestion effect may be executed even if the reach does not reach. According to this configuration, the player expects the jackpot game to be given up again even when the second suggestion production is performed after the first suggestion production that fuels the reach using the odd number image SG. It is possible. In other words, the player can expect twice to execute the jackpot game in one special figure variation effect, whichever numerical image SG is temporarily stopped in the left effect design EZ1.

In the case of this configuration, after the first suggestion effect in which the effect symbol including the even number image is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol is executed, the probability that the second suggestion effect is performed and the odd number image are included. It is preferable that the probability that the second suggestion effect is performed after the first suggestion effect in which the effect symbol is temporarily stopped as the left effect effect symbol is executed is different. A player's expectation that the second suggestion effect will be performed after the first suggestion effect is executed in which the effect symbol including the even number image is temporarily stopped as the left effect symbol, and the effect symbol including the odd number image It is possible to differ from the player's expectation that the second suggestive effect will be performed after the first suggestive effect that is temporarily stopped as the left effect design is executed.

Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which includes the number image SG and the character image CG in a production design. However, the effect design may include only the numerical image SG. Further, the effect design may include only the character image CG.

Further, in the first embodiment, the reach mode in which the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed is adopted. However, the reach mode in which the left effect symbol EZ1 and the middle effect symbol EZ2 are temporarily stopped may be displayed. Further, the reach mode in which the middle effect symbol EZ2 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped may be displayed.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the special figure variation effect using three effect symbols (left effect symbol EZ1, middle effect symbol EZ2 and right effect symbol EZ3) is used. However, a special figure variation effect using four or more effect symbols may be used. In such a case, a mode in which the remaining one effect design is variably displayed may be a reach mode, and an effect showing such a reach mode may be achieved. Alternatively, a special figure variation effect using two effect symbols may be used. In such a case, a mode in which one effect pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed is a reach mode, and an effect showing such a reach mode may be achieved.

Further, in the first embodiment, the jackpot game is a special game. However, the small hit game may be a special game.

In the first embodiment, the "big hit game 5" is the first special game and the "big hit game 3" is the second special game. However, while the "big hit game 5" is the first special game, the "big hit game 4" may be the second special game. That is, the game state set (shifted) after the execution of the jackpot game may be configured such that the second special game is more advantageous to the player than the first special game.

Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, after the 2nd suggestion production was performed, it was set as the structure which may become reach|attainment and may not reach. However, the configuration may be such that only reach is reached after the second suggestion effect is performed. That is, the configuration may be such that an attack reach or a defense reach is achieved after execution of the second suggestion effect. According to this configuration, when the second suggestive effect is performed, it is possible for the player to previously recognize that the player will reach. Therefore, the player can enjoy the second suggestion effect while having an expectation for the jackpot game.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the effect content in which the enemy team is robbed of the ball is the first result, and the effect content in which the enemy team is not robbed of the ball is the second result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, the effect content in which the shot of the enemy team is not determined may be the first result, and the effect content in which the shot of the enemy team is determined may be the second result.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, there are eight types of effect symbols. However, a plurality of types other than eight types may be used.

Further, in the first embodiment, as the case where there are relatively many types of effect symbols that suggest that the second result is easily derived, two types (effect symbols 4 and effect symbols 6) are provided in the second effect mode. As a relatively small number, one type (effect symbol 4) was provided in the first effect mode. However, if the number is relatively large, three or more types may be provided. Further, as a case where the number is relatively small, a smaller number of types than the case where the number is relatively large, and two or more types may be provided.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the effect symbol of the type that suggests that the second result is easily derived is the effect symbol 4 in the first effect mode, but an effect symbol other than the effect symbol 4 may be used. .. Further, in the second effect mode, the effect symbol 4 and the effect symbol 6 are used, but an effect symbol other than the effect symbol 4 and the effect symbol 6 may be used. Further, the effect symbols 4 and the effect symbols other than the effect symbols 6 may be used. In addition, the effect design 6 and the effect design other than the effect design 4 may be used.

Further, in the first embodiment, the effect symbol 4 of the first effect mode, and the effect symbol 4 and effect symbol 6 of the second effect mode, the effect symbol of the type that suggests that the second result is easily derived. And However, it may be a type that suggests that the second result is derived. Specifically, for example, in the effect symbol type determination table of FIG. 39(C), while changing the allocation ratio of the effect symbol 4 from "1%" to "0%", the allocation ratio of the effect symbol 6 is "1". An example is a configuration in which “%” is changed to “0%”.

In addition, the production design 4 is a production design of the type that suggests that the second result is easily derived, while the production design 6 is also a production design of the type that suggests that the second result is derived. Good.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the "big hit game 3" is a specific hit game, but a big hit game other than the "big hit game 3" may be a specific hit game.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, when the reach effect derives the second result, the "big hit game 3 (specific hit game)" is difficult to be executed. However, when the reach effect derives the second result, the specific hit game may not be played.

Further, in the first embodiment, the character image that imitates a person is used as the character image included in the effect design, but a character image that imitates an organism other than human, such as an animal, insect, fish, or plant, may be used.

Further, in the first embodiment, as the character corresponding to the character image of the effect design, the same character as the character image appears in the reach effect. However, a configuration in which a character similar to the character image appears in the reach effect may be used.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the second content is the effect contents in which the enemy team does not take the ball to the teammate, and the enemy character of the enemy team says "the teammate does not take the ball". It is the "predetermined matter" that the character achieves. However, it may be other than that. Specifically, for example, the effect content in which the enemy team does not decide the shot is the first result, and the effect content in which the enemy team decides the shot is the second result, and then the enemy character "determines the shot". It may be a “predetermined matter”.

In the first embodiment, the special character is the enemy character B in the first effect mode and the enemy character D in the second effect mode. However, other enemy characters may be used.

Further, in the second effect mode of the first embodiment, the effect symbol 4 and the effect symbol 6 each include the character image CG5 corresponding to the same enemy character D. However, the character image of the effect design 4 and the character image of the effect design 6 may have different configurations. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 45(C), the effect symbol 4 includes a character image CG5 corresponding to the enemy character D, and the effect symbol 6 corresponds to a character image other than the enemy character D (enemy character E). A configuration including the CG 6 may be used.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the reach effect is related to soccer. However, contents other than soccer may be used. Specifically, for example, the reach effect may be a so-called battle effect. In this case, the effect content indicating that the teammate character wins the battle may be the first result, and the effect content indicating that the teammate character loses the battle (the enemy character wins the battle) may be the second result. Further, for example, the reach production may be content related to baseball. In that case, the production result indicating that the teammate's pitcher (teammate character) strikes out the batter (enemy character) is the first result, and the pitcher was unable to strike out the batter (for example, if the batter hits a home run ( Alternatively, the effect content indicating that a hit) is hit) may be used as the second result. Further, for example, the reach production may be the content related to the runner-up race. In this case, the effect content indicating that the teammate character comes first may be the first result, and the effect content indicating that the teammate character allows the enemy character to arrive first may be the second result.

In the first embodiment, the attack reach and the defense reach can be executed after the reach when the gaming state is the time saving state (high-probability high base gaming state or low-probability high base gaming state). However, the configuration may be such that the attack reach and the defense reach can be executed after the reach in the game state other than the time saving state (high-probability low base game state or low-probability low base game state).

Further, in the first embodiment, the color of the odd numbered image SG is “red”, but it may be a color other than red. Further, although the color of the even numbered image SG is “blue”, it may be a color other than blue. Further, although the odd numbered images SG have the same color, for example, the color of “7” and the color of the odd numbered images other than “7” may be different. Further, for example, the colors of “3” and “7” may be different from the colors of the odd-numbered image other than “3” and “7”. Further, although the even numbered images SG have the same color, for example, the color of “4” and the color of even numbered images other than “4” may be different.

Further, although the color of the odd number image and the color of the even number image are different, the color of the odd number image and the color of the even number image may be the same. That is, the number image may be composed of one color (one color). Further, the color of the predetermined number image (for example, “7”) may be different from the color of the number images other than the predetermined number image. In addition, the color of the first number image (for example, “7”), the color of the second number image (for example, “3”), and the colors of the number images other than the first number image and the second number image. And may be different from each other. In addition, the color of the first number image (eg, “7”), the color of the second number image (eg, “3”), the color of the third number image (eg, “4”), and the first The color of the number images other than the second number image, the second number image, and the third number image may be different from each other. At least one of the first number image, the second number image, and the third number image may be plural.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 3", the effect symbol including the numerical image SG is 3 in the special figure change effect accompanied by the variable display of the special figure 2. It is configured to stop and display at the same time. However, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 3", the effect symbols including the odd number image SG except the even number may be stopped and displayed in a set of three. In addition, when the result of the special drawing 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 3", a configuration may be adopted in which three effect symbols including an even number image SG, excluding an odd number, are stopped and displayed together.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 4" or "big hit symbol 5", the special figure variation effect accompanying the variable display of the special figure 2 is an even number. The reach using the effect design including the image SG is not displayed in a complete set and is displayed in a stopped state. However, when the result of the special figure 2 lottery is "big hit symbol 4" or "big hit symbol 5", it may be configured such that three effect symbols including a predetermined numeral symbol are stopped and displayed. In addition, the configuration of the stop display may be different depending on whether the result of the special figure 2 lottery is “big hit symbol 4” and the case of “big hit symbol 5”. Specifically, for example, when the result of the special drawing 2 lottery is “big hit design 4”, the reach using the effect design including the even-numbered image is not displayed in a complete set of 3 reach and is displayed as a special feature. In the case where the result of the lottery in FIG. 2 is “big hit symbol 5”, the reach using the effect symbol including the predetermined number image may be stopped and displayed in three sets.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the so-called “first type” and “digital pachi” pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown as a gaming machine. However, a gaming machine is a so-called "third type", a so-called "proprietary item" that has both the characteristics of a "first type" pachinko gaming machine and the characteristics of a "second type" pachinko gaming machine. It may be a pachinko game machine that is called "mixture of one type and two types".

It is possible to differ from the player's expectation of being exposed.

<Means D>
The invention according to means D1 is
An effect execution means (sub-control board 120) capable of executing a predetermined effect is provided,
The effect execution means,
It is possible to execute reach production with production design (EZ1 etc.),
The reach production is
When the first result (shown in FIG. 41E) is derived, the second result (FIG. 41) different from when the enemy team is robbed of the ball and the team team finishes the goal. There is a case where the enemy team shoots the content shown in (F) in which the ball is shot without being robbed.
There are multiple types of the effect design,
For the effect symbols, when there are relatively many types (effect symbols including the character symbols corresponding to the enemy character B and the enemy character D) that suggest that the second result is easily derived (in the second effect mode). ) And when there is a small number (when in the first effect mode), the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine PY1).

According to the gaming machine having this configuration, it is possible to show the pattern (route) having the second result to the player more or less. Therefore, the player comes to pay attention to the type of effect symbol accompanying the reach effect, and the interest in the effect can be improved.

The invention according to means D2 is
A gaming machine described in Means D1,
It is provided with a hit game executing means (game control microcomputer 101 executing step S106) capable of executing a specific hit game (big hit game 3),
The specific winning game is difficult to be executed when the reach effect derives the second result.

According to the gaming machine having this configuration, it is possible for the player to recognize that the reach effect for deriving the second result is an adverse effect for the player. Therefore, when there are relatively many types that suggest that the second result is likely to be derived for the effect symbol, it is possible to fuel the player's sense of crisis by showing many patterns that result in the second result. .

The invention according to means D3 is
A gaming machine described in Means D2,
The effect design includes a character image (CG),
