A production setting unit (for example, production control CPU 120) that can be set to any one of a plurality of production settings including a first production setting and a second production setting in which the first production setting has a different execution frequency of the specific production. However, in the effect mode setting process of step S162 in FIG. 8-17(A), a portion capable of setting and storing either the first effect mode or the second effect mode),
Equipped with
The effect execution means can execute the specific effect at different execution frequencies according to the effect setting set by the effect setting means and the set value set by the advantage degree setting means (for example, in the set value. For the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect that can be set and suggested by executing at different rates, the execution rate corresponding to each set value when the first effect mode is set and the second effect mode are set. A portion in which the execution rate corresponding to each set value when set is different.Modification 1 of the characteristic part 258SG shown in FIG. 8-33, modification 2 of the characteristic part 258SG shown in FIG. 8-34)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the enjoyment of the game is improved.

The gaming machine of means 2 is the gaming machine described in means 1,
The effect setting means can be set to either the first effect setting or the second effect setting based on the operation of the player (for example, the effect control CPU 120 causes the image display device in the effect mode setting process). One of the first selection button image 258SGZ03 and the second selection button image 258SGZ04 displayed in 5 can be selected according to the operation of the stick controller 31A, and the effect corresponding to the button selected based on the operation of the push button 31B. A part that performs the process of storing the mode in the RAM 122. (See FIG. 8-17)

According to this feature, since the effect setting can be changed according to the player's preference, the interest of the game is improved.

The gaming machine of means 3 is the gaming machine described in means 2,
The effect execution means,
A predetermined effect different from the specific effect (for example, an effect belonging to each of the effect groups GP-A, GP-B, and GP-C) can be executed,
When the first effect setting is set, the specific effect can be executed so that the advantageous effect is controlled at a higher rate than when the predetermined effect is executed (for example, the effect control CPU 120 Except for rainbow colors, blue, red, special pattern in order of higher jackpot (high jackpot expectation) (big hit expectancy; blue <red <special pattern) pattern TY-1 to TY -3, the portion for executing the line-up notice effect in the patterns SY-1 to SY-3 and the cut-in notice effect in the patterns CY-1 to CY-3)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the enjoyment of the game is improved.

The gaming machine of means 4 is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 3,
The advantage setting means has a first set value (for example, set values 1 to 3) and a second set value (for example, set values 4 to 6) that is more advantageous to the player than the first set value. Can be set to any of the
In the case where the effect is not controlled to the advantageous state, the effect executing means can execute the specific effect at a higher rate when set to the second set value than when set to the first set value. (For example, when the variable display result is out of alignment in the variation pattern of super reach, the higher the set value is, the higher the ratio that the title announcement effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 is set to (the pattern TY in the out of position). -3 execution ratio: set value 1 to 3 <set value 4 <set value 5 <set value 6) portion (see FIGS. 8-21(B) to (E)).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, even if the specific effect has been executed but the advantageous state has not been achieved, it can be expected that the second setting value is set, so that it is possible to suppress a decrease in amusement of the game.

The gaming machine of means 5 is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 4,
The advantage setting means has a first set value (for example, set values 1 to 3) and a second set value (for example, set values 4 to 6) that is more advantageous to the player than the first set value. Can be set to any of the
When the first effect setting is changed to the second effect setting when set to the first setting value, the change amount of the execution rate of the specific effect, and when the second setting value is set Is different from the change amount of the execution ratio of the specific effect when the first effect setting is changed to the second effect setting (for example, the setting value is one of the setting values 1 to 3 (first setting value)). The set value is set to a set value of 4 to 6 rather than the first change amount (L1) of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode while being set. One of the second to fourth change amounts (L2) of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode when the second effect value is set. (Refer to Modification 1 of the characteristic portion 258SG shown in Fig. 8-33).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, it is possible to estimate the setting based on the change amount of the execution rate of the specific effect when the second effect setting is set, so that the enjoyment of the game is improved.

The gaming machine of means 6 is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 5,
State control means capable of controlling a first state and a second state in which the probability of being controlled to the advantageous state is higher than that of the first state (for example, after the CPU 103 controls to a low-probability-high base state after the end of the big hit A). , A part that controls to a low-accuracy low-base state and a part that can control to a high-accuracy high-base state after the end of big hit B or big hit C),
The effect execution means can execute the specific effect at a higher execution rate when controlled to the second state than when controlled to the first state (for example, the CPU 120 for effect control, When the variable display based on the variation pattern of the super reach is executed when the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production is controlled to the highly accurate and high base state with the set value being any of 4 to 6, the set value is set. Is executed at a higher rate than when the variable display is performed based on the variation pattern of the super-reach deviation when is controlled to the highly accurate and high base state by any of 4 to 6),
The change amount of the execution ratio of the specific effect when the first effect setting is changed to the second effect setting while being controlled to the first state, and the change amount when being controlled to the second state. The amount of change in the execution rate of the specific effect when the first effect setting is changed to the second effect setting is different (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-34(A), the game state is a highly accurate high base state). 8-34(B)(C) rather than the first change amount (L1) of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode. As shown in, when the game state is in the low-probability low-base state, the second to fourth change amounts of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production when the first production mode is changed to the second production mode ( L2) is a larger portion. See Modification 2 of the characteristic portion 258SG shown in FIG. 8-34).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the amount of change in the execution rate of the specific effect can be changed in accordance with the state when the second effect setting is set, so that it is preferably specified so as not to be excessively advantageous depending on the state. The production can be executed.

The gaming machine of means 7 is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 6,
The advantage setting means has a first set value (for example, set values 1 to 3) and a second set value (for example, set values 4 to 6) that is more advantageous to the player than the first set value. Can be set to any of the
The effect execution means,
It is possible to execute a suggestion effect that suggests whether or not the advantageous state is controlled (for example, a portion where the effect control CPU 120 can execute a super reach effect),
When it is set to the first set value and is not controlled to the advantageous state, the specific effect cannot be executed (for example, when the set value is one of the set values 1 to 3, the change in the super reach loss). In the pattern, the execution ratio of the effect pattern TY-3 is 0% (see FIG. 8-21(B)),
When it is set to the second set value and is not controlled to the advantageous state, the specific effect can be executed (for example, the execution ratio of the effect pattern TY-3 in the variation pattern of out-of-reach is the set value. 4% is 11%, setting value is 5% is 17%, and setting value is 6% is 23% (see FIGS. 8-21(C) to (E)),
When the suggestive effect is executed, a special pattern that is once informed that the advantageous state is not controlled and then is controlled to the advantageous state (a variation pattern of super-reach γ jackpot that executes a revival effect) (PB1-5)),
When the special pattern is controlled to the advantageous state, the ratio of executing the specific effect is lower than the ratio of executing the specific effect in a pattern other than the special pattern (for example, the variation pattern is restored). In the case of the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the effect, the variation pattern executes the revival effect when the title notice effect based on the pattern TY-3 that can suggest the set value is executed. In the case of a change pattern of super reach, which is lower than the rate at which the title notice effect based on the pattern TY-3 is executed (see FIGS. 8-21(A) to (E)).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, when it is suggested that the specific effect is executed and the advantageous state is not controlled, the advantageous state is achieved in the special pattern even though the player recognizes that the second set value is set. By notifying that the control is performed, it is possible to reduce the deterioration in the enjoyment of the game due to the recognition error.

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

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

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the right side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1), a variable display (also called a special drawing game) of special symbols (also called a special drawing) as a plurality of types of special identification information is provided. There is provided a first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The special pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

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

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also referred to as "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also referred to as "second special symbols". Further, a special figure game using the first special figure is called a "first special figure game", and a special figure game using the second special figure is also called a "second special figure game". The special symbol display device that performs variable display of the special symbol may be one type.

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

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

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

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

In addition, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided, and the first hold indicator 25A indicates the number of LEDs to be lit. To display the first number of reserved memories, and the second reserved indicator 25B displays the number of second reserved memories according to the number of lit LEDs.

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

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

The variable winning a prize ball device 6B (normal electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip type accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, the movable wing pieces are in the vertical position, so that the tips of the movable wing pieces are provided. Is close to the winning ball device 6A, and is in a closed state where the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, when the solenoid 81 is in the ON state, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening (second starting). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When the game balls enter the second starting winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls can be paid out and the second special figure game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to the device including the electric tulip type accessory as long as it can be changed between the closed state and the open state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Outline of game progression)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the player's rotation operation on the hit ball operation handle 30 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal figure game by the normal symbol display device 20 is started. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the previous execution period of the general education game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but cannot immediately execute the general education game based on the passage) , The universal figure game based on the passage is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

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

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

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

It should be noted that, when the game ball enters (start winning) the starting winning opening during the period during which the special drawing game is being executed, or during the period when it is controlled to the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (a start prize has occurred, If the special drawing game based on the starting prize cannot be immediately executed), the special drawing game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

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

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

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

In addition, the "big hit" category is set. For example, you can prepare multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and maximum open period) of the special winning opening, and game states after the big-hit gaming state (normal state, time saving state, probability variation state, etc., below), and according to these, a big hit The type is set. As the big hit type, a big hit type that can obtain many prize balls or a big hit type that has few prize balls or hardly obtain prize balls may be provided.

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

After the big hit game state is finished, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability changing state according to the big hit type.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even during the big hit game state, a big hit midfield effect for notifying the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit midfield effect, an effect that notifies the number of rounds or a promotion effect that indicates that the value of the big hit game state is improved may be executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, the small hitting production which notifies the small hitting game state is executed. Incidentally, during the small hit game state, some big hit type (big hit type of big hit game state of the same mode as the small hit game state, for example, big hit type that makes the subsequent game state a highly accurate state) big hit game By executing a common effect in the state, the player may not be able to know whether the present is in the small hitting game state or the big hitting game state. In such a case, by performing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high-precision state and the low-precision state. May be.

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

A detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on when it has entered is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By the transmission of the detection signal, passing or entry of the game ball is detected.

The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door. To transmit.

The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100), as a part of the control of the progress of the game, production control board (command for designating (notifying) the progress status of the game etc.) according to the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of the special figure game (including a big hit type), and a variation pattern used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later). )), a game status (for example, start and end of variable display, status of opening big winning opening, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, game status), command for specifying error occurrence, and the like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The voice control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L, 8R, drives the speakers 8L, 8R based on the sound designating signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designating signal from the speakers 8L, 8R. Let

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9, drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on/off the game effect lamp 9 in a manner designated by the lamp signal. To do. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the sound output and the lighting/extinguishing of the lamp.

It should be noted that the production control CPU 120 executes audio output, control for turning on/off the lamp (supply of sound designation signal or lamp signal, etc.), and control of the movable body 32 (supply of signal for operating the movable body 32). You may do it.

The random number circuit 124 updatable counts numerical data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used for executing various effects. The effect random number may be updated by the effect control CPU 120 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

Substrates other than the main substrate 11, such as the effect control substrate 12, the sound control substrate 13, and the lamp control substrate 14, are also referred to as sub substrates. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function like the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol fluctuation processing, the processing which does the setting in order to change the special design in the 1st special design display 4A and the 2nd special design display 4B, and the elapsed time after that special design starts fluctuation It includes the process of measuring. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

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

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

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

The post-big hit opening process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6".

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The game area is rotatably provided and can be opened and closed by the glass door frame 258SG003a. When the glass door frame 258SG003a is closed, the game area can be seen through the glass window.

Further, the gaming machine frame 258SG003 can be opened by inserting a door key owned by a store clerk or the like in the game arcade into a lock (not shown) and unlocking it. The door frame 258SG003a cannot be opened.

The left game area 258SG002L is a game area in which a relatively weakly-launched (left hitting) game ball flows down by the operation of the hit ball operation handle 30, and the right game area 258SG002R is a left game area 258SG002L by operation of the ball hit operation handle 30. A game ball that has been hit out stronger (right hitting) than a game ball flowing down is a game area that flows down through the upper path 258SG002C of the image display device 5.

Further, a plurality of general winning openings 10 are arranged in the left game area 258SG002L, and in the right game area 258SG002R from the upstream side to the downstream side of the right game area 258SG002R, the passage gate 41, the variable winning ball device 6B, A general winning opening 10 and a special variable winning ball device 7 are arranged. That is, the game ball flowing down the left game area 258SG002L can be won in the first start winning hole formed by the general winning opening 10 and the winning ball device 6A, and the game ball flowing down the right game area 258SG002R is variable. The second start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, the general winning opening 10 and the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 can be won and the passage gate 41 can be passed.

As shown in FIG. 8-1, a plurality of obstacle nails 258SGK1 are arranged between the winning ball device 6A, the variable winning ball device 6B, and the special variable winning ball device 7. Therefore, the game ball flowing down the left game area 258SG002L is unable to win (or difficult to win) at the second starting winning opening and the big winning opening, and the gaming ball flowing down the right game area 258SG002R is the first starting winning prize. It is impossible to win (or difficult to win).

As shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, the main board 11 in the characteristic portion 258SG of the present embodiment is housed in the board case 258SG201 configured to be openable by the first member and the second member. The state is mounted on the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, on the main board 11, a lock switch 258SG051 for switching the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to a changeable setting value state, and a winning probability (ball-out rate) of a big hit which will be described later in the setting value change state. A setting changeover switch 258SG052 functioning as a setting switch for changing the set value and an opening sensor 258SG09 for detecting opening of the gaming machine frame 258SG003 are provided. The set value change state in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment is also a state (set value confirmation state) in which a store clerk or the like of the game hall can confirm the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

The setting switch main body part provided with the operation part that can be operated by the player, such as the lock switch 258SG051 and the setting switch 258SG052, is housed in the board case 258SG201 together with the main board 11, and the lock switch 258SG051 and the setting switch switch 258SG052.

At this time, the numerical value (setting value) displayed on the display monitor 258SG029 can be updated and displayed by operating the setting changeover switch 258SG052.

Then, by turning off the lock switch 258SG051 in a state where any of the numerical values 1 to 6 is displayed on the display monitor 258SG029, the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 258SG029 is set as a new set value. R. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated, the CPU 103 sends a setting value designation command, which will be described later, to the effect control board 12 regardless of whether a new setting value is set (set). By doing so, the effect control CPU 120 can specify the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the set value designation command.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2, at a predetermined position (for example, a lower left position of the game area) of the game board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the characteristic portion 258SG of the present embodiment, 1 special symbol display device 258SG004A capable of executing variable display of 1 special map, second special symbol display device 258SG004B capable of executing variable display of second special symbol, first reserved display capable of displaying first reserved memory number 258SG025A, a second holding display 258SG025B capable of displaying the second number of reserved memories, a normal symbol display 258SG020 capable of executing variable display of the ordinary symbol, a general figure holding indicator 258SG025C capable of displaying the number of ordinary figures retained, In a gaming state in which a round indicator 258SG131 capable of displaying the number of rounds of the jackpot game (jackpot type) during the jackpot game, and a gaming ball such as a high base state (time saving state) or a jackpot gaming state, is launched toward the right gaming area 258SG002R. A game information display unit 258SG200 is provided in which a right-handed lamp 258SG132 that lights up, a probability variation lamp 258SG133 that lights up in a probability variation state, and a time shortening lamp 258SG134 that lights up in a high base state (time shortening state) are collectively arranged.

The first special symbol display device 258SG004A and the second special symbol display device 258SG004B are each composed of 8 segment LEDs. Further, in the first special symbol display device 258SG004A and the second special symbol display device 258SG004B, if the variable display result of the special symbol is out or a small hit, the variable display result can be derived and displayed with a common combination. ing.

In the case where the variable display result in the variable display of the first special symbol is a big hit, the first special symbol display device 258SG004A is a variable display result with two kinds of big hit symbols (combination of illuminated LEDs) for each big hit type. Derivation display is possible. Further, in the case where the variable display result is a big hit in the variable display of the second special symbol, the second special symbol display device 258SG004B is variably displayed with two kinds of big hit symbols (combination of lit LEDs) for each big hit type. Results can be derived and displayed.

In the characteristic portion 258SG of the present embodiment, the big hit symbols that can be derived and displayed are different between the first special symbol display device 258SG004A and the second special symbol display device 258SG004B, but the first special symbol display device 258SG004A is different. The jackpot pattern that can be derived and displayed in and the jackpot pattern that can be derived and displayed in the second special symbol display device 258SG004B may at least partially overlap.

The first hold indicator 258SG025A and the second hold indicator 258SG025B each have LEDs of four segments arranged side by side in the left-right direction. In the first hold indicator 258SG025A and the second hold indicator 258SG025B, if the number of reserved memories is one, only the LED on the left end is turned on, and the second from the left each time the number of reserved memories increases, The third LED from the left and the fourth LED from the left are sequentially turned on. Then, each time the variable display is executed, in response to the reduction (consumption) of the pending storage, the LEDs in the pending display corresponding to the variable display have a predetermined shift direction (characteristic of the present embodiment). In part 258SG, the light goes out toward the left).

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, when both the first special figure pending storage and the second special figure pending storage exist, the variable display based on the second special figure pending storage is preferentially executed. It is like this. Therefore, for example, when there is one first special figure reservation memory and two second special figure reservation memories (only the LED on the left end of the first reservation indicator 258SG025A is lit and the second reservation is stored). When the left two LEDs of the display device 258SG025B are lit), the variable display is executed based on the second special figure pending storage, and the first special figure pending storage becomes 0 after the second special figure pending storage becomes zero. Variable display based on memory is executed.

The round indicator 258SG131 is composed of five segments (LEDs). As the jackpot type in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, there are provided three jackpot types: a jackpot A which is a 5 round jackpot, a jackpot B which is a 10 round jackpot, and a jackpot C which is a 15 round jackpot. However, which of the segments configuring the round indicator 258SG131 is lit differs depending on the type of jackpot.

The control signal transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is relayed by the relay board 15.

The command 96XXH is an error (abnormality) specification command that specifies the occurrence of an error (abnormality) in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the type of the error (abnormality) that has occurred. In the error (abnormality) designation command, for example, by setting the EXT data corresponding to each error (abnormality), it is possible to identify which error (abnormality) has occurred on the production control board 12 side. Therefore, the occurrence of the specified error (abnormality) is notified by the error notification process described later.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as "fanfare command") for designating the display of the effect image showing the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state.

In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, for example, the same EXT data as that of the variable display result notification command is set, so that different EXT data may be set depending on the pre-determined result or the big hit type determination result. .. Alternatively, in the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the big hit type determination result and the EXT data to be set may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result notification command. .. In the special winning opening opening notification command and the big winning opening opening notification command, different EXT data is set according to the number of times of execution of the round in the big hit game state or the small hit game state (for example, "1" to "15"). To be done.

The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) is generated. It is the 1st starting opening winning a prize designation command which notifies that the 1st starting condition for executing the special drawing game which uses the 1st special drawing in 1st special design indicator 258SG004A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated. , Is a second start winning combination designation command for notifying that the second starting condition for executing the special drawing game using the second special drawing on the second special symbol display device 258SG004B is satisfied.

The command C2XXH is a second reserved storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure reserved storage number so that the special figure reserved storage number can be specified on the image display device 5 or the like. The first reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when the first starting opening winning award designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when the second start opening prize designation command is transmitted based on that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. Further, the first reserved storage number notification command and the second reserved storage number notification command cause the special figure game to start when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the reserved storage number decreases). It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution.

Instead of the first pending storage number notification command or the second pending storage number notification command, a total pending storage number notification command for notifying the total pending storage number may be transmitted. That is, the total pending storage number notification command for notifying the increase (or decrease) of the total pending storage number may be used.

The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and has a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101 for storing a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a game control work. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 that provides an area, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103 that executes a game control program to perform a control operation, and a numerical data that indicates a random number value is updated independently of the CPU 103. A random number circuit 104 for performing, an I/O (Input/Output port) 105, and a real-time clock (RTC) 106 capable of outputting time information are provided.

As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101 to execute a process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. At this time, the CPU 103 reads fixed data from the ROM 101 to read fixed data, the CPU 103 writes variable data to the RAM 102 and temporarily stores the data, and the CPU 103 writes various variable data to the RAM 102.

The transmission operation for outputting various signals is also performed.

FIG. 8-5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random number values counted on the main substrate 11 side. As shown in FIG. 8-5, in the characteristic portion 258SG of this embodiment, on the main board 11 side, in addition to the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and the variation pattern. Numerical data indicating each of the random number value MR3 for determination, the random number value MR4 for determining the universal figure display result, and the random number value MR5 for determining the initial value of MR4 are controlled to be countable. A random number value other than these may be used to enhance the game effect. These random number values MR1 to MR5 may be updated by software in the CPU 103 using different random counters, or may be updated by the random number circuit 104. The random number circuit 104 may be built in the game control microcomputer 100, or may be configured as a random number circuit chip different from the game control microcomputer 100. The random number used to control the progress of such a game is also called a game random number.

Although the present embodiment exemplifies a form in which each of the random number values MR1 to MR5 is used as a value within the range shown in FIG. The range of MR1 to MR5 may be changed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

FIG. 8-6 shows a variation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases in which the variable display result is “out”, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is “non-reach” and “reach”, respectively. A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance, corresponding to the case where the display result is a "big hit". Further, one variation pattern is prepared in advance in response to the case where the variable display result is "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out” and the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is “non-reach” is referred to as a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach variation pattern”), The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out” and the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is “reach” is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach out variation pattern”). In addition, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the outlier variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "outlier". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is referred to as a big hit variation pattern. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" is referred to as a small hit variation pattern.

For the big hit variation pattern and reach variation pattern, the reach reach of normal reach is executed. There are fluctuation patterns. Although only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and like normal reach α, normal reach β,... A plurality of normal reach variation patterns may be provided. Further, a super reach variation pattern or 5 or more super reach variation patterns may be provided.

As shown in FIG. 8-6, regarding the special figure variation time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in the feature portion 258SG of the present embodiment is executed, the super reach variation patterns of super reach α and super reach β are used. , Superreach γ, and superreach δ are set shorter. Further, regarding the special figure variation time of the super reach variation pattern in which the reach effects of the super reach such as super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ in the characteristic portion 258SG of the present embodiment are executed, The special figure variation pattern is set such that δ, superreach γ, superreach β, and superreach α become shorter in this order.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot expectation degree at which the variable display result is “big hit” is set such that superreach δ is the highest, and superreach γ, superreach β, superreach α, and normal reach decrease in that order. Therefore, in the normal reach variation pattern and the super reach variation pattern, the longer the variation time, the higher the jackpot expectation.

However, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, as a variation pattern of the super reach γ, the variable display result is once notified as a reach effect of the super reach γ, and then the variable display result is a big hit. A variation pattern (PB1-5 shown in FIG. 8-6) for executing the revival effect is provided. For this reason, the variation pattern of the super reach γ that executes the revival effect is set to have a longer special figure variation time than the normal super reach γ variation pattern and a shorter special figure variation time than the super reach δ variation pattern. However, it is the variation pattern with the highest expectation for jackpots (100%).

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, as will be described later, these variation patterns are classified into variation pattern types such as non-reach type, normal reach type, and super reach type. Instead of first determining and then determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined variation pattern, only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination is determined without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in addition to the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, a random value for fluctuation pattern type determination is provided, and these fluctuations are set. It is also possible to first determine the type of the variation pattern from the random number for determining the pattern type, and then determine the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined variation pattern.

Further, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-6, an example is shown in which the variation content (effect content) is predetermined for each variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and even if the variation pattern is the same, the variation content (effect content) may be different depending on the set value. For example, in the case of the variation pattern PA2-1 with out-of-normal reach, when the set value set is 1, the variation pattern with out-of-normal reach is set, and when the set value is set to 2, pseudo continuous production is performed. If the set value that is set as 3 is a variation pattern that is executed twice and that is out of reach, a pseudo continuous effect is executed three times and a variation pattern that is out of super reach...

In the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes the program read from the ROM 101 and uses the RAM 102 as a work area, whereby various processes for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are executed. Further, the CPU 103 is capable of generating all of various random numbers used on the main board 11 side by executing a random number generation program.

The ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 stores various table data used for controlling the progress of the game, in addition to the game control program. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data that forms a plurality of determination tables shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-14, which are prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations and decisions. Further, in the ROM 101, table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used by the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main board 11, and a variation mode of each symbol in a variable display of a special symbol or a normal symbol. A variation pattern table storing a plurality of types of variation patterns is stored.

The determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes, for example, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIGS. 8-7 and 8-8, and the second special figure display result determination shown in FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10. Table, big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) shown in FIG. 8-11(A), big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. 8-11(B), big hit variation pattern determination A table, a small hit variation pattern determination table, an out-of-range variation pattern determination table, a public figure display result determination table (not shown), a public figure variation pattern determination table (not shown), and the like are included.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment is configured so that the winning probability (ball-out rate) of the big hit changes according to the set value. Specifically, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing described later, by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the winning probability (ball-out rate) of the jackpot is changed. .. The set value is made up of 6 levels from 1 to 6, where 6 is the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value is in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is the highest for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases in stages. In other words, the set value is 6 which is the largest value, which is the most unfavorable value for the game hall side, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the more advantageous value the game hall side has. Become.

As described above, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state is the certainty variation state (highly precise state), more determination values than in the normal state or the time saving state are the special hits of “big hit”. It is assigned to the display result. As a result, in the probability variation state in which the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the probability that it is determined to control the jackpot gaming state by setting the special figure display result to "big hit" in the normal state or the time saving state (the present embodiment In the characteristic part 258SG of 1/300 when the setting value is 1, 1/280 when the setting value is 2, 1/260 when the setting value is 3, and 1/240 when the setting value is 4, Compared to 1/220 when the setting value is 5, 1/200 when the setting value is 6), the probability that it is determined to control the big hit game state as the "big hit" is higher (book) In the characteristic part 258SG of the embodiment, when the set value is 1, it is 1/200, when the set value is 2, 1/180, when the set value is 3, 1/160, when the set value is 4, it is 1 /140, 1/120 when the setting value is 5, and 1/100 when the setting value is 6). That is, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probable variation state, the probability of being determined to control the jackpot gaming state is higher than when it is the normal state or the time saving state. , The determination value is assigned to the determination result of whether to control the jackpot gaming state.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10, the ratio of the jackpot probability in the probable variation state to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the shortened state is respectively changed according to each set value. Different (for example, if the set value is 1, the ratio of the big hit probability in the normal variation or the short-time probability to the big hit probability in the state is 1.5 times, and if the set value is 2, the probability of the big hit probability in the normal state or the short-time state is changed. The ratio of the jackpot probability in the state is about 1.56 times, and if the setting value is 3, the ratio of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the time saving state is 1.625 times). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the ratio of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the shortened state at each set value is all constant (for example, 5 times). ) May be set.

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

On the other hand, in each of the second special figure display result determination tables, regardless of the game state or the set value, the probability that the special figure display result is set as “small hit” and the small hit game state is controlled is the first probability. The determination value is assigned so that it has the same value as that of the display result determination table for drawings. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10, in the second special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is set as “small hit” regardless of the gaming state or the set value. The probability that the small hit game state is determined to be controlled is set to 1/100.

In the characteristic portion 258SG of the present embodiment, the probability that the special figure display result is set as “small hit” and the small hit game state is controlled to be in the small hit gaming state is the same probability regardless of the set value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability that the special figure display result is set as “small hit” and the small hit game state is controlled may be changed according to the set value. Further, the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a form in which the probability of being determined to control the small hitting game state as "small hitting" as the special hitting display result is different according to the fluctuation special drawing, The invention is not limited to this, and regardless of the variation special map, the probability that the special figure display result is set as "small hit" and the small hit game state is controlled may be the same probability.

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

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

That is, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the possible hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the common big hit judgment values are common. Numerical values within the numerical range plus the non-common numerical range are assigned to the "big hit". Furthermore, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1238 as a reference as the set value increases.

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

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

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

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

That is, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the probability change state, when the set value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535. Among the hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the big numerical value falls within the common numerical value range. Numerical values within the range including the non-common numerical value range are assigned to "big hit". Further, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

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

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

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

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

That is, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535. Among the possible hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the setting value is 2 or more, the common big hit judgment values are included. Numerical values within the numerical range plus the non-common numerical range are assigned to the "big hit". Furthermore, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1238 as a reference as the set value increases.

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

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

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

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

That is, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, in the display result determination table for FIG. 2 when the game state is the probability change state, when the set value is 1, the value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the set value is 2 or more, the large numerical value is not included in the common numerical value range. Numerical values within the range including the common numerical value range are assigned to "big hit". Further, the non-common numerical value range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

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

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

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, in each display result determination table, a common numerical value range or a common numerical value range and a non-common numerical value range are used with reference to 1020 of the hit determination value, regardless of the game state and the set value. The judgment value included in the continuous numerical value range of 1 is set as the numerical value range of the big hit judgment value, and regardless of the gaming state and the set value, the continuous numerical value range of 1 based on 32767 of the hit judgment value (common numerical value range The variable display result is determined by setting the determination value included in parentheses as a numerical range of the small hit determination value.

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

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

That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table corresponding to the set value set at that time, and when the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the big hit, the big hit (big hit) with respect to the special symbol A to jackpot C). Further, when the MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hit, it is determined that the special symbol is a small hit. That is, the winning of the big hit and the small hit is determined with a probability according to the set value. The “probability” shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10 indicates the probability (ratio) of a big hit and the probability (ratio) of a small hit. In addition, determining whether to make a big hit is to decide whether to control the big hit gaming state, the first special symbol display device 258SG004A or the second special symbol display device 258SG004B stop symbols in It also means deciding whether or not to make a jackpot design. Also, to determine whether to make a small hit, it is to determine whether to control the small hit game state, stop in the first special symbol display device 258SG004A or the second special symbol display device 258SG004B It is also to decide whether or not to make the symbol a small hit symbol.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, a total of 6 set values 1 to 6 are provided as set values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. The set value that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more.

8-11(A) and 8-11(B) are explanatory diagrams showing a big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. Is. Of these, FIG. 8-11(A) determines the jackpot type by using the pending storage based on the fact that the game ball has won the first starting winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed). It is a table when doing. Moreover, FIG. 8-11(B) determines the jackpot type by using the pending storage based on the fact that the game ball has won the second starting winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed). It is a case table.

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

Here, the jackpot type in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, as a big hit type, a big hit A (also called an uncertain variation big hit) that only the time saving control is executed after the end of the big hit game state to shift to the low certainty high base state, and the big hit game After the completion, the high-accuracy control and the time reduction control are executed, and a big hit B and a big hit C (also called a positive variation big hit) are set so as to shift to the high-precision high base state.

The big hit game state by "big hit A" is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed five times (so-called 5 rounds) for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to a first state that is advantageous to the player. The big hit game state by "B" is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player. Furthermore, the big hit game state by "big hit C" is a normally open big hit which is repeatedly executed 15 times (so-called 15 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player.

The time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "big hit A" is that a special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the characteristic portion 258SG of the present embodiment), or a special number of times of the predetermined number Before the figure game is executed, the jackpot game state is entered and the game ends.

On the other hand, the high-accuracy control and the time saving control which are executed after the big hit game state of the big hit B or the big hit C are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit game state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurs again is big hit B or big hit C, high-precision control and time saving control are executed again after the end of the big hit game state, so that the big hit game state continues without going through the normal state. It occurs in the so-called condominium state.

In addition, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, an example is shown in which three types of big hits A to C are provided as big hit types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the big hit type is 2. You may provide less than four types or four or more types.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-11(A), in the jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 99 of the determination value range of MR2 of 0 to 299 is assigned to the jackpot A. 100 to 249 are assigned to the big hit B, and 250 to 299 are assigned to the big hit C. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-11(B), in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), from 0 to 299 of the determination value range of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A. 100 to 199 are assigned to the jackpot B, and 200 to 299 are assigned to the jackpot C. That is, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, the jackpot type determination ratio is different depending on whether the winning opening in which the game ball has won is the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening. The jackpot type is determined at a common rate regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, the big hit type is determined using MR2 which is a random number value for big hit type determination, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the big hit type is It may be determined using MR1 which is a random number value for determining the special figure display result.

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

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

As described above, when the deviation variation pattern determination tables A to D are used, the rate of determining the non-reach variation pattern or the normal reach variation pattern is set higher than the rate of determining the super reach variation pattern. Further, when using the variation pattern determination tables A to D for deviation, regardless of the variation pattern determination table, 701 to 850 of the determination values are variation patterns of super-reach α deviation, and 851 to 930 are variation of super-reach β. Fluctuation patterns, 931 to 970 are assigned to a variation pattern of super-reach γ, and 971 to 997 are assigned to a variation pattern of super-reach δ, that is, when the variable display result is a variation, Since the variation patterns are determined with a common determination rate, it is possible to prevent the effect from being lowered due to the variable display by the variation patterns of the super reach not being executed.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, the variation patterns for the outliers are the variation pattern of the out-of-reach α, the variation pattern of the out-of-reach β, the variation pattern of the out-of-reach γ, and the variation pattern of the out-of-reach δ.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination rate of the variation pattern of the super reach is the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination rate of all variation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach may be the same, or any variation of non-reach and normal reach Only the determination rate of the pattern may be the same.

It should be noted that the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than that of the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening, and further, the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) is less than the reach pattern. The fluctuation pattern (PA1-3) of the outlier has a shorter fluctuation time (see FIG. 8-6). Therefore, when the number of pending storages increases, the non-reach variation pattern with a short variation time is determined, so that the pending storages are easily digested, and the number of pending storages reaches the upper limit of 4. If the number of held memories is reduced, it is possible to avoid unnecessary start winnings that are not held for memory, and if the number of held memories decreases, non-reach fluctuations without shortening By determining the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display time becomes longer, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the variable display not being executed.

Further, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-14(A) to 8-14(C), fluctuations are made using the fluctuation pattern determination table for deviation which differs according to the total number of pending storages. Although the mode for deciding the pattern is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of pending storage in the special symbol to be changed (for example, the first special symbol when the variable display of the first special symbol is executed). The number of special symbols pending storage, when performing the variable display of the second special symbol) the variation pattern may be determined by using a different variation pattern determination table for deviation according to the number of pending storage of the second special symbols).

Further, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, an example is illustrated in which whether or not the reach effect is executed for each determined variation pattern and which reach effect is executed are in a one-to-one correspondence. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not the effect control CPU 120 executes the reach effect based on the special figure change time of the change pattern, the variable display result, and the like, and which reach effect is executed. You may decide by lottery whether to do it.

The pending data of the figure game (special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 258SG004B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning number in the second starting winning opening (detection order of the game ball) with the holding number, and establishes the second starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. As the pending data, the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, and the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination extracted by the CPU 103 from the random number circuit 104 based on , Until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”).

In this case, starting port data indicating which of the first starting winning port and the second starting winning port the game ball has passed (entered) is included in the holding information and may be stored in association with the holding number. ..

The ordinary figure holding storage unit stores the holding information of the ordinary figure game which has not yet been started by the normal symbol display device 258SG020, even though the game ball that has passed through the passage gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21. For example, the public figure reservation storage unit is associated with the reservation numbers in the order in which the game balls have passed through the passage gate 41, and based on the passage of the game balls, the CPU 103 extracts the general figure display result from the random number circuit 104 or the like.

The random counter of the game control counter setting unit stores a random number value that is not generated by the random number circuit 104, for example, numerical value data indicating the random number values MR2 to MR4, as a random count value, and periodically according to the execution of the software by the CPU 103. Numerical data indicating each random number is updated periodically or irregularly. The software executed by the CPU 103 to update the random count value may be for updating the random count value separately from the operation of updating the numerical data in the random number circuit 104, or may be extracted from the random number circuit 104. The random count value may be updated by performing a predetermined process such as a scramble process or a calculation process on all or part of the numerical data.

The game control buffer setting unit is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the game control buffer setting unit stores data indicating a buffer value in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

Further, in the RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12, an effect control data holding area is provided as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation.

Further, in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting section, data forming the start winning award reception command buffer is stored. The start winning award reception command buffer corresponds to a storage area (buffer numbers “1-1” to “1-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (eg, “4”) of the total number of reserved memories of the first special figure reserved memory. Area) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number "1-0") corresponding to the first special figure being variably displayed. In addition, in the start winning award reception command buffer, a storage area (buffer numbers “2-1” to “2-4”) corresponding to the maximum value (eg, “4”) of the total reserved storage numbers of the second special figure reserved storages. Area) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) corresponding to the second special figure being variably displayed. When there is a start winning prize in the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening, a starting opening winning designation command (first starting opening winning designation command or second starting opening winning designation command), or a reserved memory number notification command ( A command such as a first reserved storage number notification command or a second reserved storage number notification command) is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. In the storage area corresponding to the first special figure reserved storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure reserved storage in the start winning award reception command buffer, the first special figure reserved storage and the second special figure reserved storage are associated with these commands. A storage area (entry) for separately storing the figure reserved storage is secured.

The storage contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest-order storage (buffer number “1-1” or buffer number “2-1”) is started. As you do, you will be shifted one by one.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the command from the beginning (the entry having the smallest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure reservation storage of the start winning prize reception command buffer at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening. Then, at the time of a winning start to the second starting winning opening, commands are stored from the beginning (the entry with the smallest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the second special figure reservation storage of the receiving command buffer for starting winning. At the time of starting winning, the commands from the starting opening winning award designation command to the reserved storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, each command is stored in the storage area corresponding to the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure pending storage or the second special figure pending storage. I will go.

Next, the processing executed by the CPU 103 in the characteristic unit 258SG of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-15 is a flowchart showing the starting winning determination process (S101) shown in FIG. In the start winning determination process, as shown in FIG. 8-15, the CPU 103 first detects a detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the first starting opening switch 22A is on (258SGS501a). At this time, if the first starting opening switch 22A is turned on (258SGS501a; Y), the number of reserved special memories for the special figure game using the first special figure is set to a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether the upper limit storage number is “4”) (258SGS502). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the first special figure reservation storage number by reading the first reservation storage number count value, which is the stored value of the first reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, for example. When the number of the 1st special figure reservation storages is not the upper limit (258SGS502; N), for example, the storage value of the starting mouth buffer which is provided in the game control buffer setting section is set to “1” (258SGS503).

When the first starting opening switch 22A is off in 258SGS501a (258SGS501a; N) or when the first special figure reservation storage number has reached the upper limit value in 258SGS502 (258SGS502; Y), the variable winning ball device 6B. It is determined whether or not the second starting port switch 22B is ON based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning port formed by (258SGS501b). At this time, if the second starting opening switch 22B is turned on (258SGS501b; Y), the second special figure reservation storage number, which is the reservation storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether the upper limit storage number is “4”) (258SGS505). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the second special figure reservation storage number by reading the second reservation storage number count value that is the stored value of the second reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, for example. When the second special figure reservation storage number is not the upper limit value in 258SGS505 (258SGS505; N), for example, the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to "2" (258SGS506).

If the second starting opening switch is not turned on (258SGS501b; N) or the second special figure reservation storage number is the upper limit value (258SGS505; Y), the starting winning determination process is ended.

After performing any of the processes of 258SGS503 and 258SGS506, the special figure reservation storage number corresponding to the starting opening buffer value which is the value stored in the starting opening buffer is updated to be incremented by 1 (258SGS507). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", the first reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the second pending storage count value is incremented by 1. Thus, the first reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening and the first starting condition corresponding to the special drawing game using the first special drawing is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved storage number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening and the second starting condition corresponding to the special drawing game using the second special drawing is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total pending storage number is also updated so as to be incremented by 1 (258SGS508). For example, the total pending storage number count value, which is the stored value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, may be updated so as to be incremented by one.

After executing the processing of 258SGS508, the CPU 103 selects from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit, the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determining. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 and the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (258SGS509). Numerical data indicating each random number value thus extracted is stored by being set as reservation information at the head of an empty entry in the special figure reservation storage unit corresponding to the starting port buffer value (258SGS510). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 are stored in the first special figure pending storage unit, while when the starting opening buffer value is "2", The numerical data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 is stored in the 2 special figure reservation storage unit.

Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination and the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination determines whether or not the variable display result of the special pattern or the decorative pattern is "big hit", and further the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of jackpot when "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of 258SGS509, the CPU 103 extracts the numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for the variable display result including the variable display result of the special symbol and the decorative symbol and the variable display time.

Subsequent to the processing of 258SGS510, the transmission setting of the start opening winning award designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (258SGS511). For example, when the starting mouth buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first starting mouth winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. The setting for transmitting the first starting opening winning award designation command to 12 is performed. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, by storing the storage address of the second starting opening winning award designating command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, the effect control board 12 is controlled. The setting for transmitting the second start opening winning award designation command is performed. The starting mouth winning designation command thus set is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process processing is completed. To be done.

Following the process of 258SGS511, a winning random number determination process is executed (258SGS512). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the reservation storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the reservation storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12. Is set (258SGS513). The reservation storage number notification command thus set is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process processing is completed. To be done.

After executing the processing of 258SGS513, it is determined whether or not the starting opening buffer value is "1" (258SGS514). At this time, if the starting port buffer value is "1" (258SGS514; Y), the starting port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (258SGS515), and the process proceeds to 258SGS501b. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2" (258SGS514; N), the starting opening buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (258SGS516), and then the starting winning determination processing is performed. To finish. As a result, even when both the first starting opening switch 22A and the second starting opening switch 22B simultaneously detect a valid starting winning of a game ball, the processing based on the detection of both effective starting winnings can be surely completed.

FIG. 8-16(A) is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed by the 258SGS 512 of FIG. 8-15 as the random number value determination process at the time of winning. In the special feature 258SG, when the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started, in the special symbol normal process (step S22 of FIG. 5), the game state, the special symbol for executing the variable display, and the display according to the set value Select the result determination table (see FIG. 8-7 to FIG. 8-10), and use the selected display result determination table to set the special figure display result (variable display result of the special symbol) as "big hit" and the big hit game state. It is determined whether or not to control, and whether or not to control to the small hit game state by setting the special figure display result to "small hit".

On the other hand, in addition to these determinations, the CPU 103 executes a winning random number determination process of 258SGS512 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). Thus, whether or not it is determined to stop and display the big hit pattern or the small hit symbol as the special symbol display result, or whether the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the predetermined display mode with super reach, etc. To do. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the starting winning opening is started, that is, whether or not the big hit or the small hit is determined at the start of the variable display is determined. Before the special drawing display result is "big hit" or "small hit", it is determined which category the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is the variable display mode, and based on this determination result As described later, the CPU 120 for effect control executes pre-reading announcement effects such as the pending display announcement effects.

In the winning random number determination process shown in FIG. 8-16(A), the CPU 103 first checks the state of the time saving flag or the probability variation flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 258SG152 or the like, for example, so that the pachinko game is played. The current game state of machine 1 is specified (258SGS521). When the probability variation flag is on, the CPU 103 identifies the probability variation state (high accuracy high base state), and when the probability variation flag is off and the time saving flag is on, it is in the time saving state (low accuracy high base state). And the normal state (low accurate low base state) may be specified when both the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are off.

Following the processing of 258SGS521, the CPU 103 identifies the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (258SGS522). Next, the display result determination table corresponding to the current game state, the starting opening buffer value and the set value is selected and set (258SGS524).

Specifically, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", the setting value is 1 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7(A) is used. When the display result determination table is set and the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the probability change state, the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7(B) is set and the set value is 2 If the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-7(C) is set, and the set value is 2 and the gaming state is the probable state. If there is, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-7(D) is set, and if the set value is 3 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, then FIG. 8-7(E ) 1st special figure display result decision table which is set, when the set value is 3 and the game state is the probability change state, the 1st special figure display result decision table which is shown in Figure 8-7 (F) Set.

Further, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", the setting value is 4, and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure display result determination shown in FIG. If the table is set and the set value is 4 and the gaming state is the probability change state, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-8(B) is set, and the set value is 5 and When the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-8(C) is set, and when the set value is 5 and the gaming state is the probability changing state. When the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-8(D) is set and the set value is 6 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-8(E). Set the display result determination table for the first special figure, if the set value is 6 and the game state is the probability change state, set the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-8(F) ..

Further, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the setting value is 1 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. If the table is set and the set value is 1 and the game state is the probability change state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-9(B) is set, and the set value is 2 and When the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-9(C) is set, and when the setting value is 2 and the gaming state is the probability changing state. When the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-9(D) is set and the set value is 3 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-9(E). The second special figure display result determination table is set, and when the set value is 3 and the game state is the probability changing state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-9(F) is set. ..

Further, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the setting value is 4, and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. If the table is set and the set value is 4 and the game state is the probability change state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10(B) is set, and the set value is 5 and When the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10(C) is set, and when the set value is 5 and the gaming state is the probability changing state. When the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10(D) is set and the set value is 6 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-10(E). The second special figure display result determination table is set, and when the set value is 6 and the game state is the probability changing state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10(F) is set. ..

After setting the display result determination table, the variable display result determination module (258SGS525) determines whether the special figure display result is “big hit”, “small hit”, or “out”. The variable display result determination module compares the numerical range of the big hit determination value and the numerical range of the small hit determination value in the set variable display result determination table with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination, and If the value of the numerical value MR1 is within the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, the variable display result is judged as the big hit, and if the value of the random number value MR1 is within the numerical range of the small hit judgment value, the variable display result is judged as the small hit. However, if the value of the random number value MR1 is outside the numerical range of the big hit judgment value and outside the numerical range of the small hit judgment value, the variable display result may be judged to be out of alignment.

Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit in the 258SGS 525 (258SGS 526). When it is determined that the big hit is not generated (258SGS526; N), it is determined whether the variable display result is determined to be the small hit in the 258SGS525 (258SGS527). When it is determined that it is not a small hit, that is, when it is determined that there is a deviation in the variable display (258SGS527; N), the first symbol designation which is a symbol designation command corresponding to the variable display result being "defeat". The command transmission setting is executed (258SGS527a), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set, that is, whether the current game state is the time saving state (258SGS528).

When the time saving flag is not set (258SGS528; N), the deviation variation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 8-14 is selected and set, and the process proceeds to 258SGS536 (258SGS529), and when the time saving flag is set. (258SGS528;Y), the deviation variation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 8-14(D) is selected and set, and the flow proceeds to 258SGS536 (258SGS530).

When it is determined in 258SGS526 that the variable display is a big hit (258SGS526; Y), the big hit type is determined based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination and the big hit type determination table (258SGS533). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the variation special map (“first special map” corresponding to “1” or “second special map” corresponding to “2”) specified in correspondence with the starting opening buffer value. , The big hit type judging table data is selected from the table data constituting the big hit type judging table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

Also, a symbol designating command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designating command when it is a jackpot A, a third symbol designating command when it is a jackpot B, and a fourth symbol when it is a jackpot C. The transmission setting of the symbol designating command is executed (258SGS534), and then, as the table for determining the big hit variation pattern, the big hit variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-13(A) is selected and set (258SGS535). ) Proceed to 258SGS536.

In addition, when it is determined that the small display is a small hit in the variable display in 258SGS527 (258SGS527; Y), the transmission setting of the sixth symbol specifying command which is the symbol specifying command corresponding to the variable display result being the "small hit". Is executed (258SGS531), the small hit variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-13(B) is selected and set (258SGS532), and the flow proceeds to 258SGS536.

In the characteristic part 258SG, in the out-of-range variation pattern determination table A to out-of-range variation pattern determination table D, the determination values of 1 to 700 are commonly assigned to the non-reach variation pattern and the normal reach variation pattern. The change patterns of super reach are assigned to 701 to 997.

Therefore, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the variation pattern is determined using the out variation pattern determination table A or the out variation pattern determination table D, and the determination of non-reach and super reach is performed by the determination. Even if the number of stored memories changes later, the variation pattern is always non-reach or super-reach. Therefore, in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern determination table A for deviation or the variation pattern determination table D for deviation is used. Is determined.

After performing any one of the processes of 258SGS529, 258SGS530, 258SGS532, 258SGS535, the fluctuation pattern determination table set in each of these steps and the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are used to disturb The variation category corresponding to the range of the determination value including the numerical value MR3 is determined (258SGS536). In the present characteristic portion 258SG, as shown in FIG. 8-16(B), at least when the variable display result is “out”, the variable display mode of “non-reach” is common regardless of the total number of pending storages. And a variation category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", and a variation category of "other" that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach or small hit), It suffices to determine whether or not the variation category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, after setting the variable category designation command according to the determination result of the processing of 258SGS536 to the effect control board 12 (258SGS537), the winning random number determination processing is ended.

The symbol designating command and the variable category designating command are transmitted by the CPU 103 executing the command control process.

(Direction mode change screen)
Next, a process executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the characteristic unit 258SG of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-17(A) is a flowchart showing a part of the effect control process process (S171) shown in FIG. 7. In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 executes the prefetching notice setting process in step S161 and then executes the effect mode setting process described later (step S162).

As shown in FIG. 8-17(B), the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the special effect (for example, demonstration effect, big hit effect or small hit effect, super reach effect, etc.) in the effect mode setting process. In a special state (including, for example, a state in which a game is not executed or variable display of symbols), a display area other than the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R on the image display device 5 is changed to "display mode change by button operation". An effect mode changing image 258SGZ01 including a character image "screen display" and a button image simulating the push button 31B is displayed. Then, when the detection signal from the push sensor 35B is received in response to the operation of the push button 35B by the player during the period in which the effect mode changing image 258SGZ01 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 8-17(B). An operation menu image 258SGZ02 for selecting (changing) the effect mode is displayed.

If variable display is being executed, it may be displayed in a display area other than the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, or may be displayed in front of the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Further, in a non-special state (including, for example, a state in which a game is not executed or variable display of symbols), the effect mode changing image 258SGZ01 is displayed on the image display device 5 in response to the operation of the push button 35B. Although the mode in which the operation menu image 258SGZ02 for selecting (changing) the effect mode is displayed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and by displaying the effect mode changing image 258SGZ01 from the setting menu. The production mode may be changed (set).

In the operation menu image 258SGZ02, a first selection button image 258SGZ03 capable of selecting a later-described first effect mode, a second selection button image 258SGZ04 capable of selecting a later-described second effect mode, and "a selection button is selected by the controller , The button determines the character image 258SGZ05.

A detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A according to the operation of the stick controller 31A by the player in a state in which one of the first selection button image 258SGZ03 and the second selection button image 258SGZ04 is highlighted to indicate that it is selected. Is received (when a selection operation is performed), the reverse display is switched to the other of the first selection button image 258SGZ03 and the second selection button image 258SGZ04. Then, when the detection signal from the push sensor 35B is received (when the determination operation is performed) while the operation menu image 258SGZ02 is displayed, of the first selection button image 258SGZ03 and the second selection button image 258SGZ04. A process of storing (setting) the effect mode corresponding to the highlighted button in the RAM 122 is performed.

In this way, in the characteristic part 258SG, the execution frequency of the first effect mode and the dialogue notice effect and the cut-in notice effect belonging to the effect group GP-D described later are set to the first effect mode by the operation of the player. It is possible to set to either of the second effect mode, which is higher than when it is on.

When the production control CPU 120 receives the detection signal from the push sensor 35B in the state where the operation menu image 258SGZ02 is displayed (when the determination operation is performed), it depends on whether the variable display is being performed. Instead, the process of setting the selected effect mode at the timing when the next variable display is started is performed. However, if the detection signal from the push sensor 35B is received while the variable display is not being performed, the push sensor 35B outputs the detected signal. The process of setting the effect mode selected when the detection signal of is received may be performed, and the setting timing and the timing of executing the effect in the set effect mode are arbitrary.

In addition, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses after the operation menu image 258SGZ02 is displayed and the selection operation or the determination operation of the first selection button image 258SGZ03 and the second selection button image 258SGZ04 is not performed, or When the cancel button (not shown) is operated, the operation menu image 258SGZ02 may be erased, and the effect mode changing image 258SGZ01 may be displayed unless the special effect is being executed.

In addition, in the effect mode stored in the RAM 122, the first effect mode is the initial effect mode, and the first effect mode is set in the effect control main process executed when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on. It is set (reset). Further, the first effect mode may be set (reset) when other conditions are satisfied such as when the demonstration effect is executed in the normal game state.

Further, in the present characteristic part 258SG, a mode in which the player can set either the first effect mode or the second effect mode by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B used at the time of effect is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one of the first effect mode and the second effect mode can be obtained by using the operation means provided separately from the operation means for effect used at the time of effect. It may be settable.

8-18 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (S171) shown in FIG. 7.

In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is set (258SGS271). If the first variable display start command reception flag is set (258SGS271; Y), it corresponds to the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning award reception command buffer. The various command data and various flags that are stored together are shifted upward by one buffer number (S272). Note that the contents of the buffer number "1-0" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so they are erased.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is not set in the 258SGS271 (258SGS271; N), it is determined whether the second variable display start command reception flag is set (258SGS273). When the second variable display start command reception flag is not set (258SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is ended, and when the second variable display 2 start command reception flag is set (258SGS273; Y). ), various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” of the second special figure reservation storage in the start prize winning command buffer are stored for one buffer number. It shifts to the higher ranks (258SGS274). Note that the contents of the buffer number "2-0" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so the contents are erased.

After executing 258SGS272 or 258SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (258SGS275).

Next, the display result of the decorative design (stop design) is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (258SGS276). In this case, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the stop design of the decorative design according to the display result designated by the display result designating command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop design of the decorative design in the decorative design display result storage area. To do.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, when the received display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit A, for example, a decorative pattern in which three symbols are arranged in even numbers as a stop symbol Determine the combination (big hit pattern). In addition, when the received display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit B, for example, as a stop symbol, the three symbols have an odd number of decorative symbols other than "7" or "3". Determine the combination (big hit pattern). Then, when the received display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit C, for example, a combination of decorative symbols in which three symbols are “7” or “3” as a stop symbol (big hit) Design). When the received display result designation command is the fifth variable table result designation command indicating a small hit, for example, three consecutive numbers such as “123” and “246” and three consecutive even numbers (or odd numbers). ) Etc., the combination of decorative patterns (small hit pattern) is determined. Then, when the received display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command indicating the deviation, for example, the combination of the decorative designs different from the above-described big hit design and small hit design (deviation design) is determined.

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

After the execution of 258SGS276, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute a title notice effect described later during the reach effect when the variable pattern of the variable display is the change pattern of super reach (258SG277; Y). A title notice effect determination process (258SGS277) for determining an effect pattern of notice effect is executed. Next, a dialogue advance notice effect determination process (258SGS278) for determining whether or not to execute a dialogue advance notice effect, which will be described later, and an effect pattern of the dialogue advance notice effect during the reach effect is executed. Then, a cut-in notice effect determination process (258SGS279) for determining whether or not to execute a cut-in notice effect described later during the reach effect and for determining an effect pattern of the cut-in notice effect is executed.

As shown in FIG. 8-30, the title notice effect is an effect that is not executed during variable display in the non-reach or normal reach variation patterns, and can be executed in the super reach variation pattern at the timing when super reach is reached. It is a production. The dialogue notice effect is an effect that can be executed during variable display in the non-reach variation pattern, and can be executed in the period from the start of variable display to the timing when the reach is reached in the normal reach and super reach variation patterns. is there. The cut-in notice effect is an effect that can be executed during variable display in the non-reach variation pattern, and can be executed in the period after the normal reach is achieved in the normal reach and super reach variation patterns.

After the execution of 258SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 selects the effect control pattern (process table) according to the variation pattern designation command (258SGS280). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (258SGS281).

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

Next, the effect control CPU 120 follows the content of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) in the effect device (image display as effect parts). The control of the device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L and 8R as production parts, and operation section (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (258SGS282). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the image display device 5. Further, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform lighting/extinguishing control of various lamps. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In the characteristic part 258SG in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 performs control so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the change pattern corresponding to the change pattern designation command in a one-to-one manner. May select the variation pattern to be used from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the variation pattern designation command.

Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time (variable display time) specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (258SGS283). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (258SGS284). Note that the predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left-middle-right decorative design to the VRAM every time the predetermined time has elapsed, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display of the decorative pattern is realized. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the effect display during variable display (S172), and the variable display start setting processing is ended (258SGS285).

(Title notice production)
At the timing of switching from the normal reach effect to the super reach effect in the case of the change pattern of the super reach, the effect control CPU 120 displays the title panel image 258SGZ10 on which the characters “SP reach” are displayed, as shown in FIG. By displaying the character image 258SGZ11 having the title panel image 258SGZ10, it is possible to execute the title notice presentation for notifying the title name indicating the type of the developing super reach production.

In FIG. 8-28, the title panel image 258SGZ10 only displays the characters “SP reach”, but the effect control CPU 120 causes the super reach effect in different modes depending on the type of the super reach change pattern. Since it is possible to execute, the title name and the like of each super reach effect to be executed are displayed to notify that the super reach effect has been developed and the type of the super reach effect to be developed. In other words, the jackpot expectation of each super-reach variation pattern is as follows: super-reach variation pattern α <super-reach variation pattern β <super-reach variation pattern γ (without restoration) <super-reach variation pattern δ <super-reach variation pattern γ (with restoration) Therefore, the title notice effect is an effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit by notifying the title name (type) of the developing super reach effect.

As shown in FIG. 8-22, the effect control CPU 120 can execute any of the effect patterns among the pattern TY-1, the pattern TY-2, the pattern TY-3, and the pattern TY-4 as the title notice effect. Is. Specifically, the pattern TY-1 is an effect pattern for displaying the title panel image 258SGZ10 having a blue character background (see FIG. 8-28(A)), and the pattern TY-2 is a title having a red character background. A pattern TY-3 is an effect pattern for displaying the panel image 258SGZ10 (see FIG. 8-28(B)), and a pattern TY-3 is an effect pattern for displaying the title panel image 258SGZ10 in which the background of characters is a special pattern (FIG. 8-28). (See (C)), and the pattern TY-4 is an effect pattern for displaying the title panel image 258SGZ10 whose character background is iridescent (see FIG. 8-28(D)).

Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect patterns TY-1 to TY-4 at the ratios shown in FIGS. 8-21(A) to (E) on the basis of the variable display result, so that the title panel image 258SGZ10 is displayed. The degree of expectation for a big hit has been suggested depending on whether the background color of the displayed character is blue, red, special pattern, or rainbow color. Specifically, in order of blue, red, special pattern, iridescent color, the proportion of big hits (big hit expectation) becomes higher (big hit expectation; blue <red <special pattern <rainbow), each effect pattern TY. -1 to TY-4 are executed at the rates shown in FIGS.

In addition, if the variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern other than the jackpot variation pattern PB1-5 of the super reach γ with revival effect described later and the variable display result is a variation of the super reach variation pattern, it is for effect control. The CPU 120 can execute the effect pattern TY-3 at different rates according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, it is suggested which of the set values 1 to 6 is the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing the title announcement production based on the production pattern TY-3 in the variation pattern of out-of-reach. It is supposed to be done.

In addition, regarding the title notice production, regardless of whether the production mode is set to the first production mode or the second production mode, each production pattern TY-1 to TY-4 has the first production mode and the first production mode. Execution is determined at a common ratio between the two effect modes.

8-18 to 8-20 are flowcharts showing the title notice effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-17. In the title notice presentation determination process, the production control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is a super reach variation pattern (258SG301). Whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of super reach may be specified from the variation pattern designation command read in 258SG275. When the variation pattern is not the variation pattern of super reach (258SGS301; N), the title notice effect determination process is ended.

When the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach (258SGS301; Y), it is determined whether the variation pattern is PB1-5, that is, the variation pattern of super reach γ that executes the revival effect (258SGS303). When the variation pattern is PB1-5 (258SGS303; Y), the effect control CPU 120 specifies the jackpot type (258SGS304) and determines whether the jackpot type is a jackpot A or a jackpot B (258SGS305). ..

When the gaming state is the low-probability high base state or the low-probability low base state (258SGS344; N), the setting value is 6, the variable display result is out of order, and the gaming state is the low-probability high base. Whether or not the title advance notice effect is executed and the effect pattern are determined based on the state or the low accurate low base state (258SGS346), and the processes of 258SGS308 to 258SGS310 are executed. In the 258SGS346, as shown in FIG. 8-21(E), the setting value is 6, the variable display result is out of order, and the game state is the low-probability high base state or the low-probability low base state. Based on this, non-execution of the title notice presentation is determined at a rate of 57%. As the execution of the title notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern TY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern TY-2 at a rate of 10%, and the pattern TY-3 at a rate of 3%. , 0% is determined as the pattern TY-4.

As described above, in the characteristic portion 258SG, as shown in FIG. 8-21, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach, the variable display result is the big hit when the title notice production is not executed (big hit). When the title advance notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-1, the title advance notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-2, and the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3. , The title notice effect is set to increase in the order in which it is executed in the pattern TY-4 (big hit expectation degree in title notice effect: non-execution <pattern TY-1 <pattern TY-2 <pattern TY -3<pattern TY-4).

Especially when the title notice production is executed in the pattern TY-4, it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the big hit type is a big hit C. To do.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-23, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of super reach, the ratio of the effect control CPU 120 executing the title notice effect in the pattern TY-3 is as follows. , The first effect mode and the second effect mode are common, and the lowest (0%) is set when the set value is any of 1 to 3 and the variation pattern is out of super reach. Next, if the variation pattern is a super-reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, or if the variation pattern is a super-reach jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, the setting value is any of 1 to 3 and the variation pattern is out of reach. In some cases, when the set value is 4 and the variation pattern is out of the super reach where the revival effect is not executed, when the set value is 5 and when the variation pattern is in the super reach where the revival effect is not executed, the set value is 6 It is set so that the ratio of executing the title notice production in the pattern TY-3 increases in the order of the case where the variation pattern is out of super reach where the revival production is not executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-21 (B) to (E), when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach (other than PB1-5) that does not execute the revival effect, it is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the set value is 1 to 3, the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 only in the case of the big hit, so the variable display result is the big hit (any one of the big hit A to the big hit C). Is confirmed. Further, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 to 6, the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 not only when the variable display result is a big hit but also when it is out of alignment. There is also. Therefore, in the super reach effect, when the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 and the variable display result is disappointing, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. It is confirmed. That is, it is suggested (notified) that the set value is any of the set values 4 to 6.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-21(A), in the case where the variation pattern is the variation pattern (PB1-5) for the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, FIGS. 8-21(B) to (E). As shown in ), the rate of executing the title announcement effect in the pattern TY-3 is set to be lower (5%) than when the variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern in which the revival effect is not executed. Specifically, for example, when the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect is executed, the ratio at which the effect control CPU 120 executes the title announcement effect based on the pattern TY-3 is: While it is 10% (5% for big hits A and B, 5% for big hits C), in the case of any of the set values 1 to 6, the variation pattern of super reach big hits for executing the revival effect is executed. In this case, the ratio of the effect control CPU 120 executing the title announcement effect based on the pattern TY-3 is 20% (10% for big hits A and B, 10% for big hits C).

For example, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach jackpot that executes the revival effect, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the title announcement effect in TY-3 in the super reach, it is changed in the super reach effect. When it is once notified that the display result is out of alignment, the player recognizes that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is confirmed to be any of 4 to 6, but is restored after that. When the effect is executed and the jackpot is confirmed and notified, it becomes uncertain whether the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and it is discouraged. is there.

Therefore, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, the rate at which the title notice effect based on the pattern TY-3 capable of suggesting the set value is executed varies. When the pattern is a super reach variation pattern in which no revival effect is executed, the rate is lower than the rate at which the title notice effect based on the pattern TY-3 is executed, so that the deviation is once notified and the set value is suggested. Since the big hit is confirmed and notified after the recognition, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged because the setting value is in any of 4 to 6.

In the characteristic part 258SG, in the case of the variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit executing the revival effect (PB1-5), the title announcement effect is more prominent than in the variation pattern of the super reach without executing the revival effect. The rate of execution in the pattern TY-3 is set low, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is a variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect. In addition, the title notice effect may not be executed in the pattern TY-3.

Further, in the case where the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 and the change pattern is the change pattern of the super reach jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, at any set value Even if the proportions in which the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 are set to the same, but if the variable display result is out of proportion, the higher the set value, the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3. The ratio to be set is set high (execution ratio of pattern TY-3 at the time of deviation: set value 1 to 3 <set value 4 <set value 5 <set value 6).

In this way, the higher the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1 is, the more advantageous the setting value for the player is, the title announcement effect is executed in the pattern TY-3, and the variable display result is deviated. Since the ratio is high, the player who responds that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 as the appearance frequency of the title announcement effect based on the pattern TY-3 increases in the case of the deviation. The expectation of is increased.

Further, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 and the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach in which the rehabilitation effect is not executed, when the variable display result is out of alignment, When the game state is the high-accuracy high-base state, the title notice production is set to be executed in the pattern TY-3 at a higher rate than when the game state is the low-accuracy high-base state or the low-accuracy low-base state. There is.

Therefore, in the variable display in the high-accuracy/high-base state, it is suggested that the variable display result is a deviation after the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 and is one of the set values 4 to 6. As a result, even after the game state shifts to the low-probability low-base state, any one of the set values 4 to 6 is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, so that the player can be prompted to continue the game. It has become possible to improve the fun of playing games.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21(B) to 8-21(E), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more the title advance notice effect is executed. The percentage is set high. In other words, when the variable display result is out of proportion, the rate itself in which the title advance notice effect is executed is an indication that any one of the set values 4 to 6 is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, so the title advance notice effect is set. It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the title advance notice effect is executed, in addition to whether or not the game is executed in the effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit, thereby improving the enjoyment of the game. Is possible.

Further, the determination rate of the effect pattern of the title notice effect shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22 is merely an example, and the determination rate of the effect pattern of the title notice effect depends on the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. You may make it differ from the characteristic part 258SG suitably. However, when the determination ratios of the effect patterns of the title notice effect are appropriately changed, the tendency of the jackpot expectation degree of each effect pattern (the jackpot expectation degree in the title notice effect: non-execution <pattern TY-1 <pattern TY-2) <Pattern TY-3 <Pattern TY-4) itself is maintained so that the player does not mistakenly recognize the jackpot expectation degree according to the production pattern of the title preview production when executing the title preview production. Is desirable.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22, when performing variable display in the super reach variation pattern, the title notice is given according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the variable display result. Although the form in which the execution ratio of the effect is made different is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when performing variable display in the super reach variation pattern, be sure to display the title notice effect during variable display. It may be executed. Incidentally, in the case where the title notice production is always performed during the variable display of the super reach, if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the variable display result is out of range. To the pattern TY-1 or the pattern TY-1 and the pattern TY-2 having a low expectation for a big hit, or a ratio other than the patterns TY-1 to TY-2. By providing an effect pattern (for example, a pattern in which the background of characters is white) and assigning it to the effect pattern, it is possible to maintain the ratio of the title notice effect being executed in the pattern TY-3 being the same. By doing so, while the title advance notice effect is executed during the variable display of the super reach, the title advance effect is excessively executed in the pattern TY-3 while aiming to improve the interest, and thus the pachinko game machine. It is possible to prevent the player from easily predicting that the set value set to 1 is 4 to 6.

(Seriff notice production)
The effect control CPU 120 has a period from the start of variable display to the end of variable display in the case of the non-reach variation pattern, and the normal reach production in the case of the normal reach or super reach variation pattern. During the period, as shown in FIGS. 8-29 (A) to (D), by displaying the character image 258SGZ11, the dialogue A image 258SGZ12 and the dialogue S image 258SGZ13 showing the dialogue the character speaks, a big hit. It is possible to execute the serif advance notice production that suggests the possibility.

As shown in FIG. 8-25(C), the effect control CPU 120 uses one of the pattern SY-1, the pattern SY-2, the pattern SY-3, and the pattern SY-4 as the speech notice effect. Is feasible. More specifically, the pattern SY-1 is an effect pattern in which the character “Chance!” and the dialog A image 258SGZ12 having a blue character background are displayed (see FIG. 8-29(A)), and the pattern SY-2 is. This is an effect pattern in which the line A image 258SGZ12 whose character background is red is displayed together with the character "Chance!" (see FIG. 8-29(B)), and the pattern SY-3 is the character "Chance!" The background is a production pattern for displaying the serif A image 258SGZ12 having a special pattern (see FIG. 8-29(C)), and the pattern SY-4 is a character with a character "Impressive!!" It is an effect pattern for displaying the S image 258SGZ12 (see FIG. 8-29(D)).

Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect patterns SY-1 to SY-4 at a rate shown in FIG. 8-25(A) or FIG. 8-25(B) based on the variable display result, so that the serif A The jackpot expectation is suggested depending on whether the character and the background color of the character shown in the image 258SGZ12 or the serif S image 258SGZ13 are blue, red, a special pattern, or a rainbow color. Specifically, in order of blue, red, special pattern, and iridescent color, the proportion of big hits (big hit expectation) increases (big hit expectation; blue <red <special pattern <rainbow), each effect pattern SY. -1 to SY-4 are executed at the ratio shown in FIG. 8-25(A) or FIG. 8-25(B).

In addition, regarding the dialogue advance notice effect, regardless of whether the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the set values 1 to 6, the effect mode is either the first effect mode or the second effect mode. It is set that the ratio of execution in the effect pattern SY-3 is different depending on whether or not. Specifically, when the effect mode is the second effect mode, the effect control CPU 120 executes the dialogue notice effect in the effect pattern SY-3 at a higher rate than when the effect mode is the first effect mode. It is supposed to do. That is, when the second effect mode is set, the execution frequency of the serif advance notice effect based on the effect pattern SY-3 is higher than that when the first effect mode is set.

Next, FIG. 8-24(A) is a flow chart showing a dialogue advance notice effect determination process executed in 258 SGS 278 in FIG. 8-18. In the dialog advancement effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (258SGS360). Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a small hit (258SGS361). If the variable display result is a small hit (258SGS361; Y), the dialogue advance notice effect determination process is ended, and if it is not a small hit, that is, if the variable display result is a big hit or a big hit (258SGS361; N), it is stored in the RAM 122. It is specified whether the stored effect mode is the first effect mode or the second effect mode (258SGS362).

Next, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (258SGS363). When the variable display result is a big hit (258SGS363; Y), the big hit type is specified (258SGS364), and the execution of the serif advance notice effect is performed based on the effect mode specified by 258SGS362 and the big hit type specified by 258SGS364. Presence/absence and effect pattern are determined (258SGS365).

When the variable display result is out of alignment (258SGS363; N), whether or not to execute the serif advance notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the effect mode specified in 258SGS362 and the jackpot type specified in 258SGS364. (258SGS366).

Specifically, in the processing of 258SGS365 and 258SGS366, as shown in FIG. 8-25(A), when the set effect mode is the first effect mode, the variable display result (big hit type) is a big hit. Based on the fact that it is A or jackpot B, the non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 15%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4. Also, based on the fact that the variable display result (big hit type) is big hit C, non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the line announcement, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 40%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 15%. The pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 15%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 5%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4. When the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), the non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 15%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 5%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is non-reach (out of reach), non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 5%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 0%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4.

On the other hand, in the processing of 258SGS365 and 258SGS366, as shown in FIG. 8-25(B), when the set effect mode is the second effect mode, the variable display result (big hit type) is a big hit A or a big hit. Based on B, the non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 0%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 25%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4. Also, based on the fact that the variable display result (big hit type) is big hit C, non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 0%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 40%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 25%. The pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 15%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 5%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4. When the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), the non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 15%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 5%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is non-reach (out of reach), non-execution of the serif advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. In addition, as the execution of the dialogue notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 5%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 0%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. , 0% is determined as the pattern SY-4.

After executing any one of the processes of 258SGS365 and 258SGS366, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the speech advance notice effect has been decided (258SGS367). When it is determined to execute the serif advance notice effect (258SGS367; Y), the effect pattern decided by one of the processes of 258SGS365 and 258SGS366 is stored (258SGS368), and the serif advance notice effect start waiting timer is set to set the dialogue effect. The notice production determination process is ended (258SGS369). When it is determined not to execute the speech advance notice effect (258SGS367; N), the dialogue advancement effect determination process is ended without executing the processes of 258SGS368 and 258SGS369.

In addition, when the execution of the speech advance notice effect is determined in the dialogue advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the dialogue advance notice effect start timer by -1 every time the variable display effect effect process (S172) is executed. When the dialogue advance notice start waiting timer is timed out, the process table for dialogue notice production corresponding to the decided effect pattern is set. After that, the effect control CPU 120 creates an effect device (image display device 5, speakers 8L, 8R, game effect lamp) in accordance with the contents of the data (process data) in the dialogue notice effect process table each time the variable display effect effect process is executed. 9) and the like may be performed to execute the dialogue announcement effect.

As described above, in the characteristic portion 258SG, as shown in FIGS. 8-25(A) and (B), the ratio in which the variable display result is the big hit (the big hit expectation) is the lowest when the dialogue advance notice effect is not executed. Is executed in the pattern SY-1, the dialogue announcement effect is executed in the pattern SY-2, the dialogue announcement effect is executed in the pattern SY-3, the dialogue announcement effect is the pattern SY-4. Are set to increase in the order in which they are executed (big expectation degree in dialogue announcement production: non-execution <pattern SY-1 <pattern SY-2 <pattern SY-3 <pattern SY-4).

In particular, when the dialogue advance notice effect is executed in the pattern SY-4, the variable display result is a big hit regardless of the set value and the effect mode set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the big hit type is a big hit C. It is confirmed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-25(A) and (B), when the setting value is any of the setting values 1 to 6, the ratio at which the effect control CPU 120 executes the serif notice effect in the pattern SY-3. However, in the case where the variation pattern is the super reach jackpot, the variation pattern is higher when the effect mode is the second effect mode than when it is the first effect mode.

Further, when the variation pattern is a variation pattern out of reach, the dialogue advance notice effect is executed in the pattern SY-3 at a ratio common to the first effect mode and the second effect mode. In addition, the ratio of executing the speech preliminary announcement effect in any one of the pattern SY-1, the pattern SY-2, and the pattern SY-4 is the same in the first effect mode and the second effect mode.

Further, regarding the pattern SY-1, the pattern SY-2, and the pattern SY-3, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the variation pattern is out of super reach, out of normal reach, and out of reach. The execution ratio is set to decrease in the order of cases.

8-25(A) and (B), the determination rate of the production pattern of the serif advance notice effect is merely an example, and the determination rate of the production pattern of the serif advance notice effect depends on the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. You may make it differ from this characteristic part 258SG suitably. However, in the case where the determination ratios of the effect patterns of the speech notice effects are appropriately varied, the tendency of the jackpot expectation degree of each effect pattern (the jackpot expectation degree in the speech notice effect: non-execution <pattern SY-1 <pattern SY-2 <Pattern SY-3 <Pattern SY-4) is maintained to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the jackpot expectation degree according to the production pattern of the dialog advancement production when the dialogue advance production is executed. Is desirable.

(Cut-in notice production)
The effect control CPU 120 is in a period from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable display in the case of a non-reach variation pattern, and in the normal reach production execution period in the case of a normal reach or super reach variation pattern. 8-29(E) to (H), the character image 258SGZ11 and the vertically long effect A image 258SGZ15 and effect S image 258SGZ16 arranged so as to surround the character from the left and right sides are displayed. Thus, it is possible to execute a cut-in notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit.

As shown in FIG. 8-26(C), the effect control CPU 120 uses, as the cut-in notice effect, any effect from among pattern CY-1, pattern CY-2, pattern CY-3, and pattern CY-4. The pattern can be executed. Specifically, the pattern CY-1 is an effect pattern for displaying the character image 258SGZ11 and the blue effect A image 258SGZ15 (see FIG. 8-29(E)), and the pattern CY-2 is the character image 258SGZ11 and the red effect. The effect pattern for displaying the A image 258SGZ15 is shown (see FIG. 8-29(F)), and the pattern CY-3 is the effect pattern for displaying the character image 258SGZ11 and the special pattern effect A image 258SGZ15 (see FIG. 8-29). (G)), the pattern CY-4 is an effect pattern for displaying the character S image 258SGZ21 different from the character image 258SGZ11 and the iridescent effect S image 258SGZ16 (see FIG. 8-29(H)).

Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect patterns CY-1 to CY-4 at the ratios shown in FIG. 8-26(A) or FIG. 8-26(B) based on the variable display result, so that the character and The degree of expectation for big hits is suggested depending on whether the effect size or color is blue, red, special pattern, or rainbow color. Specifically, in order of blue, red, special pattern, and iridescent color, the proportion of big hits (big hit expectation) becomes higher (big hit expectancy; blue <red <special pattern <rainbow), each effect pattern CY. -1 to CY-4 are executed at the rate shown in FIG. 8-26(A) or FIG. 8-26(B).

Regarding the cut-in notice production, regardless of whether the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the set values 1 to 6, the production mode is the first production mode or the second production mode. Depending on which one, the ratio of execution in the effect pattern CY-3 is set to be different. Specifically, when the effect mode is the second effect mode, the effect control CPU 120 produces the cut-in notice effect at the effect pattern SY-3 at a higher rate than when the effect mode is the first effect mode. Ready to run. That is, when the second effect mode is set, the cut-in notice effect based on the effect pattern SY-3 is executed more frequently than when the first effect mode is set.

FIG. 8-24(B) is a flowchart showing the cut-in notice effect determination process executed in 258SGS279 in FIG. 8-18. In the cut-in notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (258SGS370). Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a small hit (258SGS371). If the variable display result is a small hit (258SGS371; Y), the cut-in notice effect determination process is terminated, and if it is not a small hit, that is, if the variable display result is a big hit or out (258SGS371; N), the RAM 122 is displayed. It specifies which of the first effect mode and the second effect mode the effect mode stored in is (258SGS372).

Next, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (258SGS373). When the variable display result is a big hit (258SGS373; Y), the big hit type is specified (258SGS374), and the cut-in notice effect is executed based on the effect mode specified by 258SGS372 and the big hit type specified by 258SGS374. Whether or not and the effect pattern are determined (258SGS375).

If the variable display result is out of alignment (258SGS373; N), the presence or absence of execution of the cut-in notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the effect mode specified by 258SGS372 and the jackpot type specified by 258SGS374. (258SGS376).

Specifically, in the processing of 258SGS375 and 258SGS376, as shown in FIG. 8-26(A), when the set effect mode is the first effect mode, the variable display result (big hit type) is a big hit. Based on the fact that it is A or jackpot B, non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. As the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 15%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, based on the fact that the variable display result (big hit type) is big hit C, non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. As the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 40%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 15%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

When the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), the non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 15%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 5%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. As the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 15%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 5%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is non-reach (out of reach), non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 5%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 0%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

On the other hand, in the processing of 258SGS375 and 258SGS376, as shown in FIG. 8-26(B), when the set effect mode is the second effect mode, the variable display result (big hit type) is a big hit A or a big hit. Based on the fact that it is B, the non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 25%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Also, based on the fact that the variable display result (big hit type) is big hit C, non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 0%. As the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 40%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 25%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

When the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), the non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 15%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 5%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. As the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 15%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 5%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is non-reach (out of reach), non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern SY-1 at a rate of 5%, the pattern SY-2 at a rate of 0%, and the pattern SY-3 at a rate of 0%. Then, the pattern SY-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

After performing any of the processes of 258SGS375 and 258SGS376, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the cut-in notice effect has been determined (258SGS377). When it is determined to execute the cut-in notice effect (258SGS367; Y), the effect pattern decided by one of the processes of 258SGS375 and 258SGS376 is stored (258SGS378), and the cut-in notice effect start waiting timer is set. Then, the cut-in notice production determination process is ended (258SGS379). When the non-execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined (258SGS377; N), the cut-in notice effect determination process is ended without executing the processes of 258SGS378 and 258SGS379.

In addition, when the execution of the cut-in notice effect is determined in the cut-in notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 sets the value of the cut-in notice effect start wait timer to − each time the variable display effect process (S172) is executed. When the cut-in notice production start waiting timer has timed out, the cut-in notice production process table corresponding to the decided production pattern is set. After that, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect device (image display device 5, speakers 8L, 8R, game effect) according to the contents of the data (process data) in the cut-in notice effect process table each time the variable display effect effect process is executed. The cut-in notice effect may be executed by controlling the lamp 9 or the like.

As described above, in the characteristic portion 258SG, as shown in FIGS. 8-26(A) and (B), the ratio in which the variable display result is the big hit (the big hit expectation degree) is the lowest when the cut-in notice effect is not executed, and the cut-in is performed. When the notice production is executed in the pattern CY-1, when the cut-in notice production is executed in the pattern CY-2, when the cut-in notice production is executed in the pattern CY-3, the cut-in notice production Are set to increase in the order in which they are executed in the pattern CY-4 (big hit expectation in cut-in notice production: non-execution <pattern CY-1<pattern CY-2<pattern CY-3< Pattern CY-4).

Especially when the cut-in notice effect is executed in the pattern CY-4, the variable display result is a big hit regardless of the set value and the effect mode set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the big hit type is a big hit C. Will be confirmed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-25(A) and (B), the rate at which the effect control CPU 120 executes the cut-in notice effect in the pattern CY-3 is any of the set values 1 to 6. Although common even at times, when the variation pattern is the super reach big hit, it is higher when the effect mode is the second effect mode than when it is the first effect mode.

Further, when the variation pattern is a variation pattern out of reach, the cut-in notice production is executed in the pattern CY-3 at a rate common to the first production mode and the second production mode. In addition, the ratio of executing the speech notice effect in any of the pattern CY-1, the pattern CY-2, and the pattern CY-4 is set to be a common ratio in the first effect mode and the second effect mode.

Regarding pattern CY-1, pattern CY-2, and pattern CY-3, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the variation pattern is out of super reach, out of normal reach, out of reach. The execution ratio is set to decrease in the order of cases.

Further, the determination rate of the effect pattern of the cut-in notice effect shown in FIGS. 8-26(A) and (B) is merely an example, and the determination rate of the effect pattern of the cut-in notice effect depends on the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. Accordingly, it may be appropriately different from the main feature portion 258SG. However, when the determination ratios of the effect patterns of these cut-in notice effects are appropriately changed, the tendency of the big hit expectation degree of each effect pattern (big hit expectation degree in the cut-in notice effect: non-execution <pattern CY-1 <pattern CY -2 <Pattern CY-3 <Pattern CY-4) itself is maintained so that the player does not mistakenly expect the jackpot expectation according to the effect pattern of the cut-in notice effect when executing the cut-in notice effect. It is desirable to do so.

(Explanation of production group)
Next, the title notice effect, the dialogue notice effect, and the cut-in notice effect will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8-27 is an explanatory diagram of an effect group.

In the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a plurality of types of notice effects including a title notice effect, a dialogue notice effect, and a cut-in notice effect as an effect suggesting the possibility of a big hit. .. The title notice production, the dialogue notice production, and the cut-in notice production are productions that belong to the production category called notice production, and some of the images displayed on the image display device 5 at the time of execution are different in display mode. Has a production pattern of.

Specifically, in the title notice presentation, the display mode of the title panel image 258SGZ10, which is a part of the image displayed on the image display device 5, is a blue pattern TY-1 and a red pattern TY-2. It has a special pattern TY-3 and an iridescent pattern TY-4. In addition, in the dialogue notice presentation, the display mode of the dialogue A image 258SGZ12, which is a part of the image displayed on the image display device 5, has a blue pattern SY-1, a red pattern SY-2, and a special pattern. The pattern SY-3 and the serif S image 258SGZ13 have a rainbow-colored pattern TY-4. In the cut-in notice effect, the effect A image 258SGZ15, which is a part of the image displayed on the image display device 5, has a blue display pattern SY-1 and a red pattern SY-2, and a special pattern. Pattern SY-3, and the effect S image 258SGZ16 has a rainbow-colored pattern SY-4.

As described above, since the title notice production, the dialogue notice production, and the cut-in notice production have a production pattern in which some of the images displayed on the image display device 5 have the same display mode, As shown in −27, when classified as an effect group in which the display mode of a part of the images displayed on the image display device 5 that indicates the jackpot expectation level is classified, the effect in which the display mode is blue is common. The group GP-A includes a title notice production pattern TY-1, a dialogue notice production pattern SY-1, and a cut-in notice production pattern CY-1. Further, a title notice production pattern TY-2, a line notice notice production pattern SY-2, and a cut-in notice production pattern CY-2 belong to the production group GP-B in which the display mode is red in common. Further, a title notice production pattern TY-4, a dialogue notice production pattern SY-4, and a cut-in notice production pattern CY-4 belong to the production group GP-C in which the display mode is iridescent in common. The production group GP-D, which has a common display pattern, includes a title notice production pattern TY-3, a dialogue notice production pattern SY-3, and a cut-in notice production pattern CY-3.

Here, the productions (patterns TY-3, SY-3, CY-3) belonging to the production group GP-D having the common display pattern are the productions belonging to the production group GP-A having the common display pattern blue. Big hit expectation degree than patterns (TY-1, SY-1, CY-1) and effects (patterns TY-2, SY-2, CY-2) that belong to the effect group GP-B in which the display mode is red in common Is a high production pattern. In other words, the effect control CPU 120, when set to the first effect mode, is controlled to win the jackpot at a higher rate than when executing effects belonging to the effect group GP-A or the effect group GP-B. The productions belonging to the production group GP-D can be executed.

Further, the productions belonging to the production group GP-A and the production group GP-B are productions that can be executed even when the variation patterns are the non-reach variation pattern, the normal reach variation pattern, and the super reach variation pattern, whereas the productions The effects belonging to the group GP-D are effects that can be executed only when the variation pattern is the super reach variation pattern. Therefore, with the exception of the effects belonging to the effect group GP-C that is executed only when the variable display result is the big hit C, the effects that can be executed even when the variable display result is different from the big hit are compared. Since the productions belonging to the production group GP-D have a higher jackpot expectation and a lower appearance frequency than the productions belonging to the production group GP-A and the production group GP-B, the degree of attention of the player Is said to be a high performance.

Therefore, in the characteristic part 258SG, as shown in FIG. 8-27, the super reach variation among the effect patterns TY-3, SY-3, and CY-3 belonging to the effect group GP-D which attracts the attention of the player. The execution rate of the effect pattern TY-3 that is executed only in the case of the pattern is different depending on the set value when the variable display result is out of order, and the execution rate that is different depending on the set value is the first effect in the effect mode. It is common when the mode is set and when the second effect mode is set. Specifically, the execution ratio of the effect pattern TY-3 in the case where the variable display result is out of order is that the set value is one of the set values 1 to 3 as shown in FIGS. 0% when the setting value is 4, 11% when the setting value is 4 (10% in the high accuracy high base state, 1% in the low accuracy low base state), and 17% (the high value when the setting value is 5. 15% in the high accuracy base state, 2% in the low accuracy low base state, and 23% when the setting value is 6 (20% in the high accuracy high base state, 3% in the low accuracy low base state). There is. Therefore, the effect pattern TY-3 is a specific suggestion effect capable of suggesting which of the set values 1 to 6 the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is.

That is, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the effect pattern TY-3 at different ratios according to the set value, and regardless of which of the first effect mode and the second effect mode is set. Since the effect pattern TY-3 can be executed at a common execution ratio according to the set value, the effect pattern TY- belonging to the effect group GP-D that has a high jackpot expectation and a low appearance frequency in the super reach effect. If the variable display result is out of spite of the fact that 3 is executed, the player will be discouraged, but by making it possible to suggest which of the set values 1 to 6 is the set value as a relief, Player's willingness to play can be sustained.

The execution rate of the effect pattern TY-3 when the variable display result is a big hit is common regardless of the set value, and the common execution rate regardless of the set value is that the effect mode is the first effect mode. It is common when it is set and when it is set to the second effect mode.

On the other hand, among the effect patterns TY-3, SY-3, and CY-3 belonging to the effect group GP-D which attracts a lot of attention from the player, effect patterns SY-3 other than the effect pattern TY-3 capable of suggesting the set value. , CY-3 are common regardless of the set value, and the common execution rate regardless of the set value differs depending on whether the effect mode is the first effect mode or the second effect mode. There is.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-25(A) and FIG. 8-26(A), the execution ratio of the effect patterns SY-3 and CY-3 when the effect mode is the first effect mode is 35. % (15% in case of big hit A, 15% in case of big hit B, and 5% in case of out of reach), as shown in FIGS. 8-25(B) and 8-26(B). As described above, when the effect mode is the second effect mode, the execution ratios of the effect patterns SY-3 and CY-3 are 55% (25% for the big hit A, 25% for the big hit B, and the super reach is lost). 5%).

That is, the effect control CPU 120 is different between when the first effect mode is set and when the second effect mode is set, regardless of which of the set values 1 to 6 is set. It is possible to execute the effect patterns SY-3 and CY-3 at an execution rate, and particularly when the second effect mode is set, the effect pattern SY- is higher than when the first effect mode is set. 3 and CY-3 can be executed, the player can perform an operation of changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode while the operation menu image 258SGZ02 shown in FIG. 8-17(C) is displayed. By performing, by increasing the execution frequency of the effect patterns SY-3 and CY-3 as effects belonging to the effect group GP-D having a lower appearance frequency than effects that belong to the effect groups GP-A and effect group GP-B. You can

Here, of the patterns TY-3, SY-3, and CY-3, which are the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D, which attracts more attention of the player than the effects belonging to the effect group GP-A and the effect group GP-B. Of these, when setting suggestion is possible by making the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 different according to the set value, if the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 is made different between the first effect mode and the second effect mode, It becomes difficult to know whether the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 in the case of out-of-reach is changing according to the set value or the production mode, and it is difficult to realize an appropriate setting suggestion. I will end up.

Therefore, in the present feature unit 258SG, the pattern TY-3 of the patterns TY-3, SY-3, and CY-3 that are effects belonging to the effect group GP-D is selected from the first effect mode and the second effect mode. Even when set to, it is possible to execute at a common ratio in the first effect mode and the second effect mode that differ depending on the set value, while SY-3 and CY-3 other than the pattern TY-3 Is common to each setting value that is different when the first effect mode is set and when the second effect mode is set, regardless of which of the setting values 1 to 6 is set. By allowing execution at a ratio, it is possible to change the execution frequency of the productions belonging to the production group GP-D in accordance with the player's request, but also to make an appropriate setting suggestion.

Further, in the present characteristic part 258SG, the effect control CPU 120 increases the proportion of big hits (big hit expectation) in the order of blue, red, and special pattern (big hit expectation; blue) when iridescent is removed. <Red <special pattern>, effect patterns TY-1 to TY-3 for title notice effect, effect patterns SY-1 to SY-3 for speech notice effect, and effect patterns CY-1 to CY-3 for cut-in notice effect. Execute. That is, the effect control CPU 120 has a higher ratio than when performing effects belonging to the effect group GP-A or effect group GP-B, regardless of whether the first effect mode or the second effect mode is set. It is possible to execute effects belonging to the effect group GP-D so as to be controlled by the big hit. In other words, the jackpot expectation (reliability) of the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D is higher than the jackpot expectation (reliability) of the effects belonging to the effect group GP-A and the effect group GP-B.

Further, in the present characteristic part 258SG, when the effect mode is changed from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, the effect ratios of the effect patterns SY-3 and CY-3 are high when the variable display result is a big hit. On the other hand, since the execution ratio is common when the variable display results are out of alignment, the effect patterns SY-3, CY can be achieved without lowering the jackpot expectation (reliability) of the effect patterns SY-3, CY-3. The execution rate of -3 can be increased.

In the present feature portion 258SG, when the variable display result becomes a big hit when the effect patterns SY-3 and CY-3 belonging to the effect group GP-D are changed from the first effect mode to the second effect mode. Since the execution ratio of only one is high and the execution ratio at the time of deviation is common, the performance group GP-A and the performance group GP-B are set regardless of whether the first effect mode or the second effect mode is set. Although the jackpot expectation is higher than that of the effects belonging to, the jackpot expectation when at least the first effect mode is set is higher than the jackpot expectation of the effects belonging to the effect group GP-A or the effect group GP-B. It should be.

In addition, among the patterns TY-3, SY-3, and CY-3 that are effects belonging to the effect group GP-D, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the title reminder effect pattern TY-3 for which setting suggestion is possible. When the panel image 258SGZ10 is displayed, in order to make it easier to recognize that the presentation is different from the dialogue advance notice effect or the cut-in advance notice effect, the serif advance notice effect pattern SY-3 or the cut-in advance notice effect pattern CY is displayed. By outputting a special sound effect that is not output when -3 is executed, it is easy to understand the difference from the serif notice production of the same special pattern or the cut-in notice production. Suggestions can be made appropriately.

Further, in the characteristic part 258SG, the patterns TY-3, SY-3, and CY-3, which are the productions belonging to the production group GP-D, have different types of executions (timing advance announcements, dialogue advance effects, respectively) having different execution timings. , Cut-in notice production), and the execution ratio is determined in each individual determination table (FIG. 8-21, FIG. 8-25, and FIG. 8-26), so the first production mode is set. Even when the execution ratios of the patterns SY-3 and CY-3 are changed depending on whether it is set to the second effect mode or the second effect mode, the execution according to each set value in the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect is performed. Since it is not necessary to change the ratio, it is possible to suggest suitable settings even when the effect mode is changed.

In the characteristic part 258SG, when the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect is executed, the special effect sound which is not output when the pattern SY-3 of the notice effect of the dialogue or the pattern CY-3 of the notice effect of the cut-in is executed. Although the output form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the title notice production pattern TY-3 is different from the serif notice production pattern SY-3 and the cut-in notice production pattern CY-3. If it is possible to execute the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production in a mode in which the player can easily recognize that it is a production, the sound effect when the cut-in notice production is executed is changed to a dialogue notice production or a cut-in notice production. The sound effect may be different from the sound effect when executing. In addition to the sound effects, for the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production, the display layer is higher than that of the dialogue notice production or the cut-in notice production, and other than the dialogue notice production and the cut-in notice production. (For example, light emission by the game effect lamp 9 on the gaming machine frame 3 side, movable effect by the movable effect body, etc.) may be a different effect by increasing or decreasing the rate of execution. It may be recognized.

(Execution timing of each performance)
Next, the execution timing of each effect will be described based on FIGS. 8-30 to 8-32. FIG. 8-30 shows the effects in the case where (A) is out of reach, (B) is normal reach, (C) is super reach (no revival effect), and (D) is super reach γ (with revival effect). It is a figure which shows an execution timing. FIG. 8-31 is a diagram showing (A) to (H) an operation example of each effect in super reach γ. FIGS. 8A to 32F are diagrams showing an operation example of each effect in super reach γ.

As shown in FIG. 8-30(A), when the variation pattern is non-reach, the dialogue notice effect and the cut-in notice are produced at an arbitrary timing in the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the symbols. It is said that production and performance are possible.

As shown in FIG. 8-30(B), when the variation pattern is normal reach, it is possible to execute the serif advance notice effect at any timing in the period from the start of variable display of the symbols to the normal reach, The cut-in notice production can be executed at any timing in the normal reach production execution period from the normal reach to the end of the variable display.

As shown in FIGS. 8-30(C)(D), when the variation pattern is super reach, the serif advance notice effect is executed at an arbitrary timing in the period from the start of variable display of the symbols to the normal reach. It is possible to perform cut-in notice production at any timing during the normal reach production execution period from normal reach until variable display ends, and super reach from super reach until variable display ends The title notice production can be executed at the timing of the super reach during the production execution period. As shown in FIG. 8-30(D), when the variation pattern is super reach γ and there is a revival effect, after the super reach effect is finished, the revival effect is executed and then the variable display is terminated.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 has a plurality of timings in the period from the start to the end of the variable display, and at any timing in the period from the start of the variable display of the symbols to the normal reach. , It is possible to execute the pattern SY-3 of the serif notice production belonging to the production group GP-D, and the production group GP-D at any timing in the normal reach production execution period from the normal reach to the end of the variable display. It is possible to execute the CY-3 of the cut-in notice production that belongs to, and it is possible to execute the production pattern TY-3 that belongs to the production group GP-D at the timing of switching from the normal reach production execution period to the super reach production execution period. Since the title notice production can be executed along with the switching from the production execution period to the super reach production execution period, setting of the title notice production pattern TY-3 is possible among the productions belonging to the production group GP-D. It is easy for the player to recognize that the performance is good.

Next, an operation example of each effect during variable display of super reach γ will be described based on FIGS. 8-31 and 8-32.

As shown in FIG. 8-31(A), after a predetermined time has elapsed since the variable display of the super reach γ was started, the dialogue notice effect is executed (see FIG. 8-31(B)). Next, after the variable display mode becomes the normal reach and the normal reach effect is started (see FIG. 8-31(C)), the dialogue notice effect is executed (see FIG. 8-31(D)). Then, as a result of the variable display of normal reach, after the dislocation symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed (see FIG. 8-31(E)), the variable display of the symbol is restarted to become the super reach, that is, the variable display is started. From among the plurality of timings from the end to the end, the title notice production is executed at the timing of switching from the normal reach production execution period to the super reach production execution period, and the title name (type) of the super reach production is notified (FIG. 8). -31(F)). Then, the super reach effect in which the teammate character and the enemy character confront each other is started (see FIGS. 8-31 (G) and (H)).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-32(A), after the super reach effect is executed, if the variable display result is out, an image in which the teammate character is defeated is displayed, and the combination of outlying symbols is stopped and displayed. By doing so, it is notified that the variable display result is out of alignment (see FIG. 8-32(B)). On the other hand, when the variable pattern is the super reach γ of PB1-4 and the variable display result is the big hit, the image in which the teammate character wins is displayed, and the combination of the big hit symbols is stopped and displayed. It is reported that a big hit has occurred (see FIG. 8-32(C)). When the variable display result is a big hit with the super reach γ of the variation pattern PB1-5, an image in which the teammate character is defeated is displayed, and the combination of the outlying symbols is temporarily displayed, so that the variable display result is displayed. After it is once notified that the character is out of alignment (see FIG. 8-32(D)), an image in which the ally character is revived is displayed, and a revival effect in which variable display of symbols is restarted is started (FIG. 8). -32(E)), the image in which the teammate character finally wins is displayed, and the combination of the jackpot symbols is stopped and displayed, thereby notifying that the variable display result has been a jackpot (Fig. 8-32(F)).

(Modification 1 of the characteristic portion 258SG)
Next, a modified example 1 of the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 8-33. FIG. 8-33 shows (A) the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 in the first effect mode, and (B) the pattern TY-3 when changed to the second effect mode with one of the set values 1 to 3. Execution ratio, (C) is an explanatory diagram showing the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 when the second effect mode is changed with any of the set values 4 to 6. In the modified example 1 of the characteristic portion 258SG described below, the description of the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment will be omitted, and only the different configuration will be described.

In the embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 sets the set value to the set value 1 for the pattern SY-3 of the notice announcement effect of the dialogue and the pattern CY-3 of the notice effect of the cut-in announcement among the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D. 6 to 6, it is possible to execute at different execution ratios when the first effect mode is set and when the second effect mode is set. The pattern TY-3 can be executed at different ratios according to the set value, and can be executed according to the set value regardless of which of the first effect mode and the second effect mode is set. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect control CPU 120 specifies with different execution rates according to the effect mode and the set value that are set. The effect (for example, the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect) may be executable.

More specifically, in the above-described embodiment, the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect when the variable display result is out of range is as shown in FIGS. 8-21(B) to (E), 0% when the set value is one of the set values 1 to 3, 11% when the set value is 4 (10% in the high accurate high base state, 1% in the low accurate low base state), the set value When the value is 5, it is 17% (15% in the high-accuracy high-base state, 2% in the low-accuracy low-base state), and 23% when the setting value is 6 (20% in the high-accuracy high-base state, low-accuracy It is 3% in the low base state, and these are common execution rates in the first effect mode and the second effect mode.

On the other hand, in the first modification of the characteristic part 258SG, as shown in FIG. 8-33(A), in the first effect mode, for example, the set value is one of the set values 1 to 3. Is 5%, the setting value is 4 is 11% (high accuracy high base state is 10%, low accuracy low base state is 1%), and the setting value is 5% is 17% (high accuracy It is set to 15% in the high base state, 2% in the low accurate low base state, and 23% when the set value is 6 (20% in the high accurate high base state, 3% in the low accurate low base state).

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-33(B), when the setting value is set to any of 1 to 3 and the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode, for example, the setting value is The execution ratio when any of the set values 1 to 3 is changed from the first ratio (for example, 5%) to the second ratio (for example, 7%). Further, as shown in FIG. 8-33(C), when the setting value is set to 4, and the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode, for example, the setting value is the setting value 4. When the execution ratio is changed from the first ratio (for example, 11%) to the second ratio (for example, 16%), the execution ratio when the setting value is the setting value 5 is the first ratio (for example, 17%). Is changed to a second ratio (for example, 23%), and the execution ratio when the setting value is the setting value 6 is changed from the first ratio (for example, 23%) to the second ratio (for example, 30%). ..

As described above, in the modified example 1 of the characteristic part 258SG, the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect, which can be set and suggested by executing at different rates according to the set value, is also set to the first effect mode. The execution ratio corresponding to each set value when the second effect mode is set is different from the execution ratio corresponding to each set value when the second effect mode is set, and particularly when the second effect mode is set. , The execution rate corresponding to each set value is higher than when the first effect mode is set.

Therefore, by changing the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect by setting the effect mode, the execution rate of the specific effect corresponding to the set value is also changed, which improves the enjoyment of the game. Further, as in the above-described embodiment, only the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect among the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D is set in the first effect mode and in the second effect mode. Since it is not necessary to make the execution rate corresponding to each set value common when the setting is performed, the execution rate can be easily designed.

Further, although the set value in the above-described embodiment can be set in six steps of set values 1 to 6, for example, the set value is higher than the first set value and the first set value to the player. Since there are only two stages of the second set value, that is, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 with few stages of the set value, it is easy to suggest the setting because the execution ratio to be set according to the set value is small. Even if the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect can be executed at different ratios according to the effect mode and the set value as in the modified example 1, it is possible to suggest a suitable setting.

In the first modification of the characteristic part 258SG, the first effect is produced when the set value is set to any one of the set values 1 to 3 (first set value) as shown in FIG. 8-33(B). When the mode is changed to the second effect mode, the first change amount of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect is 2% (second rate (for example, 7%)-first rate (for example, 5%)). ), while changing the first effect mode to the second effect mode when the set value is set to the set value 4 (second set value) as shown in FIG. 8-33(C). The second change amount of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice presentation is 5% (second rate (for example, 16%)-first rate (for example, 11%)), and the set value is the set value 5. The third change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode when the (second setting value) is set is 6% (second ratio). (For example, 23%)-first ratio (for example, 17%)), and when the set value is set to the set value 5 (second set value), the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode. The fourth change amount of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect in the case of performing is 7% (second rate (for example, 30%)-first rate (for example, 23%)).

That is, when the set value is set to any one of the set values 1 to 3 (the first set value), the execution of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode. Title advance notice effect when changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode when the setting value is set to the setting values 4 to 6 (second setting value) rather than the first change amount (L1) of the ratio The second to fourth variation amounts (L2) of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 are larger. Therefore, when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode, the higher the set value is, the higher the increasing rate of the appearance frequency of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect is, and thus the set value is the second set value (advantageous). It becomes easy to appeal to the player that it is the set value.

Further, in the modified example 1 of the characteristic part 258SG, the change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode is the first change amount or the second change. An example is shown in which the amount, the third change amount, and the fourth change amount increase in the order (first change amount<second change amount<third change amount<fourth change amount), but the present invention is not limited to this. For the title notice production pattern TY-3, if the execution ratio corresponding to each set value is different between when the first production mode is set and when the second production mode is set, The change amount of the execution rate according to each set value may be all the same (first change amount=second change amount=third change amount=fourth change amount), or the first change amount and the second change amount. At least two change amounts of the amount, the third change amount, and the fourth change amount may be the same.

Further, in the modified example 1 of the characteristic part 258SG, the change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode is the first change amount or the second change. An example is shown in which the amount, the third change amount, and the fourth change amount increase in the order (first change amount<second change amount<third change amount<fourth change amount), but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode is the first change amount, the second change amount, the third change amount, and the third change amount. The amount of change may decrease in the order of four change amounts (first change amount>second change amount>third change amount>fourth change amount).

By doing so, when the setting value is set to the first setting value (setting values 1 to 3, etc.), the second setting value (setting value 4 to 6), the change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect is higher than that when the mode is changed to the second effect mode, so that the title notice effect is a pattern even if the set value is low. Since the opportunity to be executed in TY-3 increases, it is possible to maintain the player's willingness to play.

Moreover, in the modification 1 of the characteristic part 258SG, the change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production when the first production mode is changed to the second production mode is such that the set value is the first set value ( Although different modes are illustrated when the setting values are set to 1 to 3) and when the second setting values (setting values 4 to 6 are set), the present invention is not limited to this. Rather, it differs from at least two of the set values 1 to 6 (for example, when the set values are 1 and 2, the set values 3 and 4, and the set values 5 and 6). Different).

(Modification 2 of the characteristic part 258SG)
Next, a modified example 2 of the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 8-34. FIG. 8-34 shows (A) the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 in the first effect mode, (B) the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 when the mode is changed to the second effect mode in the highly accurate and high base state, (C) is explanatory drawing which shows the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 at the time of changing to a 2nd production mode in a low accuracy low base state. In the second modified example of the characteristic portion 258SG described below, description of the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment will be omitted, and only different configurations will be described.

In the modified example 1 of the characteristic part 258SG, regarding the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production which can be set and suggested by executing at different rates according to the set value, each setting in the case where the first production mode is set The execution rate corresponding to the value is different from the execution rate corresponding to each set value when the second effect mode is set, and in particular, the set value is one of the set values 1 to 3 (first The setting value is set more than the first change amount (L1) of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode when the setting value is set. The second to fourth change amount of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect when the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode when the value is set to 4 to 6 (second set value) ( Although the L2) is illustrated as a larger form, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 8-34(A), the first when the gaming state is the highly accurate and high base state. As shown in FIGS. 8-34 (B) and (C), rather than the first change amount (L1) of the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect when the effect mode is changed to the second effect mode, as shown in FIG. The second to fourth change amounts (L2) of the execution rate of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production when the first production mode is changed to the second production mode when the state is the low accurate low base state are larger. It may be.

By doing this, when the game state is the low-probability low-base state, it is more advantageous that the game state is changed from the first production mode to the second production mode, in which the game state has a higher advantage than the low-probability low-base state. In the high base state, the amount of change in the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice production is higher than in the case of changing from the first production mode to the second production mode. When the first effect mode is changed to the second effect mode, the opportunity for the title notice effect to be executed in the pattern TY-3 increases, so that the player's motivation for the game can be maintained.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the big hit game state is applied is illustrated as an example of the advantageous state advantageous to the player, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a small hit game state can be used. Hit game state, probability variation state, short-time state (high base state), advantageous state other than big hit, reach state in which variable display mode is reach mode, state in which super reach production is executed, reach mode from normal reach to super It may be an advantageous event that appears when the production control CPU 120 executes, such as changing to reach or the like, execution of a notice production, or the like.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, as a set value set to the pachinko gaming machine 1, the first set value (disadvantageous set value) is 1 to 3, the second set value (advantageous set value) is 4 to 6, and the pachinko machine is set. An example in which the execution ratio of the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect is changed depending on whether the set value set in the gaming machine 1 is the disadvantageous set value or the advantageous set value has been exemplified. The invention is not limited to this, and as long as the unfavorable set value includes 1 and the advantageous set value includes 6, the values may be set in any range in which the values do not overlap with each other. Specifically, the disadvantage setting values may be 1 to 5 and the advantage setting values may be only 6, or the disadvantage setting values may be 1 and the advantage setting values may be 2 to 6. Further, although a plurality of setting values having different degrees of advantage for the player is exemplified as 6 levels of 1 to 6, the present invention is not limited to this, and the setting values are of 2 to 5 levels. Any one of them, or seven or more stages may be used.

Also, the advantage degree for the player is not limited to the big hit probability, but a small hit probability, a probability of being controlled in a probability variation state, a probability of being controlled in a short time state, etc. (For example, in the case of a slot machine, the probability may be a big bonus, regular bonus, assist time (AT), replay time (RT), cis and replay time (ART), etc.).

Further, in the embodiment, as a plurality of types of effect groups, an effect group GP-A having a common display mode in blue, an effect group GP-B having a common display mode in red, and an iridescent display mode are common. The form including the effect group GP-C and the effect group GP-D which is a specific group having a common display pattern is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this and colors other than the above. Other common effect groups and the like may be included.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the effect group (effect category), a part of the images that can be displayed on the image display device 5 in the plurality of types of notice effects, and the color or pattern of the portion showing the jackpot expectation degree is set. The form classified by the common effect groups GP-A, GP-B, GP-C, and GP-D has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect group means each of a plurality of kinds of effects. Of the effect elements (effect elements that can be executed by each of a plurality of kinds of effects) that make up the above, if at least a part of the effect elements have the same effect mode (for example, color or pattern) or property, In addition to the colors and patterns as described above, for example, shape, size (large, medium, small), type, strength (strong, medium, weak), quality (high, medium, low) ), speed (high, medium, low), amount (high, medium, low), timing (first period, medium period, second period), execution rate (high, medium, low). In other words, it is sufficient that one effect group includes a plurality of effects associated with each other by a certain rule.

Specifically, for example, when a sound effect (effect element) that can be output in a plurality of types of effects can be output in any of a plurality of types of volume (effect mode), the sound effect is a “small” volume. To the effect group A to which the effect output in [1] belongs, the effect group B to which the effect sound is output in the "medium" volume, and the effect group C in which the effect sound is output in the "high" volume. It can be classified.

When a character image (effect element) that can be displayed in a plurality of types of effects can be displayed in any of a plurality of types (effect modes), the effect group A to which the effect in which the character A image is displayed belongs And an effect group B to which an effect displayed with a character B image different from the character A image belongs, and an effect group C to which an effect displayed with a character C image different from the character A and B images belongs. ..

Further, when the character images (effect elements) that can be displayed in a plurality of types of effects can be displayed so as to cross the screen at any of a plurality of types of speeds (effect modes), the character images are "low speed". It can be classified into an effect group A to which the effect to be displayed belongs, an effect group B to which an effect whose character image is displayed at "medium speed", and an effect group C to which an effect whose character image is displayed at "high speed" belong. Is.

When an effect image (effect element) that can be displayed in a plurality of types of effects can be displayed in any of a plurality of types of shapes (effect modes), an effect image is displayed in a "weak" shape. Can be classified into an effect group A to which the effect belongs, an effect group B to which the effect image is displayed in the "medium" shape, and an effect group C to which the effect image is displayed in the "strong" shape.

When a character image (effect element) that can be displayed in a plurality of types of effects can be displayed at any of a plurality of types of execution timings (characteristics), the character image is displayed in the "first period" of the effect period. Effect group A to which the effect that belongs is included, an effect group B to which the effect that the character image is displayed in the "intermediate period" of the effect period belongs, and an effect group C to which the effect that the character image is displayed in the "late period" of the effect period belong. Can be classified into.

In addition, as an effect in which at least a part of the effect elements constituting each of the plurality of kinds of effects have the same property, a common effect that is a composite effect with a movable effect by the effect movable body, , A common effect due to the fact that the jackpot is confirmed and notified, a common effect due to the uniqueness of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and a common effect associated with the content of the pachinko gaming machine 1. May be included.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, each of the effect groups GP-A, GP-B, GP-C, and GP-D is one of the notice effects (for example, title notice effect, dialogue notice effect, cut-in notice effect). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if at least two or more productions belong to each production group, the title notice production, the dialogue notice production, and the cut-in production are performed. A notice effect other than the notice effect (for example, a pseudo-repeated notice or a stop symbol notice) may belong.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the productions belonging to each production group GP-A, GP-B, GP-C, GP-D are executed during variable display such as title notice production, dialogue notice production, and cut-in notice production. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and includes, for example, pre-reading notice effect, promotion effect, effect that is executed regardless of variable display such as big hit mid effect. May be.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pattern TY-3 of the title announcement effect that can be set and suggested is executed at the super-reach establishment timing (specific timing) in the variable display time. Is not limited to this, the timing of setting suggestion is not limited to the timing of establishment of the super reach, and may be any timing during the production of the super reach. The timing may be the same, and various changes can be made. Further, not only one timing during variable display but also a plurality of timings may be used. Furthermore, the timing may be outside the period in which the variable display is executed, such as during the execution of the big hit effect (for example, the timing of executing the ending effect).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, among the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D, the patterns other than the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect that can be set and suggested are set to the first effect mode and the second effect. The execution notice ratio pattern SY-3 and the cut-in notice effect pattern CY-3, which have different execution ratios when set to the effect mode, are predetermined except when super reach is established (specific timing) in the variable display period. Although the form that can be executed at the timing is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and all the other effects executed at timings other than the time when the super reach is established (specific timing) are the first effect mode. It is not necessary to make the execution ratio different between when the setting is made to and when set to the second effect mode. For example, the serif notice effect pattern SY-3 and the cut-in notice effect pattern CY-3. Only one of the plurality of timings, that is, only the execution ratio of the effect executed at a predetermined timing other than the specific timing among the plurality of timings is set to the first effect mode and the second effect mode. It may differ from time to time.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the jackpot expectation is suggested depending on whether the display color of the title panel image 258SGZ10, the serif A image 258SGZ12, the effect A image 258SGZ15, or the like is blue, red, a special pattern, or a rainbow color. However, the jackpot expectation degree may be suggested by more effect patterns including colors and patterns other than the above. The color and pattern can be arbitrarily changed, and white, yellow, green, purple, gold, other patterns, or the like may be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, with respect to the effect groups GP-A, GP-B, and GP-C, the color of the part that is a part of the images that can be displayed on the image display device 5 and that indicates the jackpot expectation level. The common productions belong, and for the production group GP-D, an example is shown in which the productions that are part of the images that can be displayed on the image display device 5 and that have the same design of the portion showing the jackpot expectation degree belong to the production group GP-D. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the production group GP-D may have productions in which the color (for example, gold) of the portion indicating the jackpot expectation degree is common. Further, the special pattern may be a special pattern unique to the manufacturer of the pachinko gaming machine 1, or a special pattern related to a character or decoration unique to the model (title) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 ( It may be a presentation mode).

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the form which can be set to either a 1st production mode and a 2nd production mode was illustrated as an effect mode, this invention is not limited to this, 3 or more. Either of the effect modes may be settable.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the production mode can be set to one of the first production mode and the second production mode by the operation of the player has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the effect mode does not have to be selectable by the player, and may be set only by a third party other than the player, such as a game machine maker or a clerk at the game hall. Alternatively, the effect control CPU 120 may change the effect mode to one of a plurality of effect modes based on a predetermined pattern based on the game state. Specifically, for example, the gaming state changes such as transitioning from a low-probability low-base state to a high-probability high-base state, the variable display count from the previous big hit reaches a predetermined number, or the number of consecutive big jackpots is predetermined. By reaching the number of times, the effect mode may be changed to one of a plurality of effect modes.

Further, in the embodiment, by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, the effect groups GP-A, GP among the effect groups GP-A, GP-B, GP-C, GP-D. An example is shown in which the execution ratio of the line-up notice production pattern SY-3 and the cut-in notice production pattern CY-3 belonging to the production group GP-D having a higher jackpot expectation degree than -B is high. It is not limited to the above, and the target effect whose execution ratio is changed according to the change of the effect mode can be arbitrarily set.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, among the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D, the lines excluding the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect for which setting suggestion is possible. Although the form in which the execution ratios of the advance notice pattern SY-3 and the cut-in notice effect pattern CY-3 are high has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the production groups GP-A and GP-B. , GP-C, the execution rate of at least a part of the effects may be increased. For example, by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, the jackpot C is decided by being executed, and the appearance pattern is extremely low, and the title notice effect pattern TY-4 and the serif notice effect. The execution ratio of the effect pattern SY-4 and the cut-in notice effect pattern CY-4 may be increased.

Alternatively, the player can select any of a plurality of characters that can be executed for various effects, and the character selected by the player can appear by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode. It may be possible to increase or decrease the execution ratio of the effect related to the selected character. By doing so, it is possible to increase the execution ratio for the effects related to the character the player likes, while lowering the execution ratio for the effects related to the character that the player does not like. Since it becomes possible, the interest in playing games is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, among the effects belonging to the effect group GP-D, the lines excluding the pattern TY-3 of the title notice effect for which setting suggestion is possible. The form in which the execution ratio of the pattern SY-3 of the notice effect and the pattern CY-3 of the cut-in notice effect is high has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first effect mode to the second effect mode. By changing to, the execution ratio of the pattern SY-3 of the serif advance notice effect and the pattern CY-3 of the cut-in notice effect may be reduced.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, an example in which the execution ratio of the dialog advance notice effect pattern SY-3 and the cut-in advance notice effect pattern CY-3 is increased. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and by changing from the first effect mode to the second effect mode, the jackpot of the dialogue notice effect pattern SY-3 and the cut-in notice effect pattern CY-3 is achieved. The degree of expectation (reliability) may be increased, or the execution ratio in the case where the variable display result is off for the pattern SY-3 of the serif notice production and the pattern CY-3 of the cut-in notice production is low. Alternatively, it may be possible to avoid the execution of the gasse effect.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a title which is a production belonging to the production group GP-D having a higher expectation of a big hit than the productions belonging to the production group GP-A or the productions belonging to GP-B is the titles that can be set and suggested. Although the form in which the pattern TY-3 of the notice effect is targeted is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to suggest setting an effect belonging to the effect group GP-A or an effect belonging to GP-B. It may be the target of the effect. As an effect for which setting can be suggested, a plurality of patterns other than the pattern TY-3 of the italian notice effect may be the target of the effect for which setting is suggested.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the setting value is suggested by changing the ratio of executing the title announcement effect in the pattern TY-3 according to the setting value is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of this, the rate of executing the title notice effect in the pattern TY-3 may be varied at different rates depending on whether or not the set value is changed. Further, in this case, the title advance notice effect may be executed in the pattern TY-3 at different rates depending on which of the set values is 1 to 6 and whether or not the set value is changed.

Further, in the characteristic part 258SG of the present embodiment, an example in which the suggestive effect according to the present invention is described as a reach effect such as a super reach effect or a normal reach effect has been illustrated, but the invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. The suggestive effect may be an effect other than the reach effect as long as it is an effect that can be executed during the variable display, for example, a pseudo continuous effect that repeatedly executes temporary stop and re-variable display of the decorative pattern.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PB1-5) for executing the revival effect, the variable display is performed at a lower rate than when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern for which the revival effect is not executed. Although the form in which the title notice effect can be executed by the pattern TY-3 has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display is executed by the variation pattern (PB1-5) for executing the revival effect. In this case, the title announcement effect may be unexecutable (execution rate 0%) in the pattern TY-3. By doing so, when the title notice effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 and it is informed that the variable display result is out of alignment, any one of 4 to 6 is set as the set value to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Despite the fact that the player recognizes that the setting has been made, it is possible to prevent a reduction in the enjoyment of the game due to the fact that the revival effect is executed and the variable display result is notified that it is a big hit.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit which executes the revival effect, the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach bonanza which does not execute the revival effect. Also exemplifies a mode in which the proportion of executing the title announcement effect in the pattern TY-3 is set to be low, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit to execute the revival effect. In the case of executing the variable display in, even if the ratio of executing the title announcement effect in the pattern TY-3 is set higher than in the case of executing the variable display in the variation pattern of the super reach jackpot that does not execute the revival effect. Good. By doing so, for example, the player attaches greater importance to whether or not the variable display result is a big hit, rather than whether the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 to 6. In this case, after the title announcement effect is executed in the pattern TY-3 and it is notified that the variable display result is off, the revival effect is further executed and the variable display result is a big hit. Since it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the information is notified, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, even if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 6, it is variable in the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect. In the case of executing the display, the form in which the title notice effect can be executed in the pattern TY-3 has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. Is any of the advantageous setting values (4 to 6), when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, the title notice effect pattern TY-3 is used. On the other hand, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any one of the disadvantageous set values (1 to 3), the variation pattern (PB1 When the variable display is executed in -5), the title announcement effect may be disabled in pattern TY-3. By doing this, when performing variable display in the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, the variable display result is a big hit and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. Since it is confirmed that the set value that is set is an advantageous set value, it is once notified that the variable display result will be off during the reach effect of super reach γ during variable display, and then the revival effect is executed and variable It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not it is informed that the display result will be a big hit, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.
