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, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and maximum open period) of the special winning opening, and game states after the big-hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability variation state, etc., described later) are prepared, and the big hit is determined according to these. 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 (especially the second special symbol) is improved, which is an advantageous state 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 for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display being executed and a look-ahead notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display before the execution (variable display in which execution is suspended). As the prefetching notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be executed.

Further, in the image display device 5, once the decorative design is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative design and then the variable display is resumed, one variable display 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, a 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 the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above-described functions 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 corresponding 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 to execute 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 processing shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interruption 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 (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.) for advancing the game, the state of the backup flag and an error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and the backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (performed 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 at the time when the power supply is stopped, for example, based on the parity bit and the checksum. If it is determined that they match, the data in the RAM 102 is determined to be normal.

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 hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, start information (start Information such as the number of winnings) and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability has changed) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After 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 figure 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.

(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 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 disabled, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disabled 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 main board 11 receives an effect control command that specifies to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state. 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 the small hitting end effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the setting contents. To execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the small hit end effect processing is ended.

The big hit 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 "0" which is the initial value, and the ending effect process is ended.

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.

Numerical value 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 counted by the CPU 103 by software update 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 characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment is executed, the super reach variation patterns of super reach α and super reach β , 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 super reach such as super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ in the characteristic portion 245SG of the present embodiment are executed, The special figure variation pattern is set longer in the order of δ, super reach γ, super reach β, and super reach α.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the variable reach display result is “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach. In the super reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time is, the higher the jackpot expectation is.

However, in the characteristic part 245SG 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 notified as 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 245SG 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. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in addition to the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, a random number value for fluctuation pattern type determination is provided, and these fluctuations are provided. 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 type.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG 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.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, 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 245SG 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 245SG of the embodiment, when the setting value is 1, 1/200, when the setting value is 2, 1/180, when the setting value is 3, 1/160, when the setting 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 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10, the ratio of the jackpot probability in the probable 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 is 1.5 times, and if the setting 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 big hit probability in the state is about 1.56 times, and if the setting value is 3, the ratio of the big hit probability in the probability variation state to the big hit 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 game 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 part 245SG of the present embodiment, the probability that the special figure display result is set as "small hit" regardless of the set value and the small hit game state is controlled is the same probability. 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 245SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the probability of being determined to control the small hitting game state as "small hit" as the special drawing display result is different according to the fluctuation special drawing, The invention is not limited to this, and the probability that the special figure display result is set as "small hit" regardless of the fluctuation special figure 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 245SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535. Among the possible hit judgment values, only the numerical values within the common numerical value range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the “big hit”, while when the 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 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 245SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the probability change state, when the setting value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535. 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 245SG 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 245SG 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.

As described above, in the characteristic unit 245SG of the present embodiment, in each display result determination table, regardless of the game state and the set value, the common numerical value range or the common numerical value range and the non-common numerical value range are based on the hit judgment value of 1020. The judgment value included in the continuous numerical value range of 1 is set as the numerical value range of the big hit judgment value, and the continuous numerical value range of 1 is determined based on the hit judgment value 32767 regardless of the gaming state and the set value (common. The variable display result is judged with the judgment value included in the numerical range) as the numerical range of the small hit judgment 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 MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hit, it is determined to be a small hit for the special symbol. 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. Also, to determine whether to make a big hit, to determine whether to control the big hit gaming state, the first special symbol display device 245SG004A or the second special symbol display device 245SG004B stop symbols It also means deciding whether or not to make a jackpot design. Also, determining whether to make a small hit, it is to determine whether to control the small hit game state, the first special symbol display device 245SG004A or the second special symbol display device 245SG004B stop It is also to decide whether or not to make the symbol a small hit symbol.

In the characteristic part 245SG 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 245SG of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the characteristic portion 245SG 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 and shifts to a low accuracy high base state, and a 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) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state that is advantageous to the player. The big hit game state by "B" is a normally open big hit that is repeatedly executed 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 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 245SG of this embodiment), or a special number of times of the predetermined number of times. 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.

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 245SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination ratio 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 pattern determination rate 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 unit 245SG 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 245SG 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.

As an example, the 1st special figure reservation storage section associates a winning number in the first start winning opening (detection order of game balls) with a holding number, and establishes a first start condition for passage (entry) of that game ball. The numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on , And is stored until the stored number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). The pending data thus stored in the first special figure pending storage unit indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is pending, and the variable display result in this special figure game (special figure display result ), it becomes the hold information that enables the determination of whether or not a big hit will occur.

The second special figure reservation storage unit, the game ball has passed (entered) through the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, and the starting winning (second starting winning) has occurred, but has not yet started. The pending data of the figure game (a special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 245SG004B) 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”). The pending data thus stored in the second special figure pending storage unit indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is pending, and the variable display result (special figure display result in this special figure game is displayed. ), it becomes the hold information that enables the determination of whether or not a big hit will occur.

In addition, the game ball has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening and the holding information (first holding information) based on the establishment of the first starting condition due to the game ball passing (entry) the first starting winning opening. The hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start prize due to the above may be stored in the common hold storage unit in association with the hold number. 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 245SG020, even though the game ball passing 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. Numerical value data indicating the random number value MR4 is stored as pending data until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”).

The game control flag setting unit is provided with a plurality of types of flags whose states can be updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the game control flag setting unit stores data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the ON state or the OFF state for each of the plurality of types of flags.

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. The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit, an effect control timer setting unit, an effect control counter setting unit, and an effect control buffer setting unit.

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

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 245SG 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 (245SGS501a). At this time, if the first starting opening switch 22A is turned on (245SGS501a; Y), the number of reserved special memories for the special figure game using the first special figure is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether the upper limit storage number is “4”) (245SGS502). 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 1st special figure reservation storages is not upper limit (245SGS502; 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” (245SGS503).

When the first starting opening switch 22A is off in 245SGS501a (245SGS501a; N) or when the first special figure reservation storage number has reached the upper limit value in 245SGS502 (245SGS502; 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 (245SGS501b). At this time, if the second starting opening switch 22B is turned on (245SGS501b; Y), the number of second special figure reservation storages, which is the number of reservation storages 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”) (245SGS505). 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 245SGS505 (245SGS505; N), for example, the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to "2" (245SGS506).

If the second start opening switch is not on (245SGS501b; N) or the second special figure reservation storage number is the upper limit value (245SGS505; Y), the start winning determination process is ended.

After any of the processes of 245SGS503 and 245SGS506 is executed, the special figure reservation storage number corresponding to the starting mouth buffer value which is the stored value of the starting mouth buffer is updated by adding 1 (245SGS507). 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 established. Updated to increase. At this time, the total reserved storage number is also updated so as to be incremented by 1 (245SGS508). 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 245SGS508, 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 number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination and the big hit type determination. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 and the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (245SGS509). Numerical data indicating each random value thus extracted is stored by being set as reservation information at the head of the empty entry in the special figure reservation storage unit corresponding to the starting port buffer value (245SGS510). 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 processing of 245SGS509, 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 245SGS510, the transmission setting of the start opening winning award designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (245SGS511). 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 processing of 245SGS511, a winning random number determination processing is executed (245SGS512). 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 (245SGS513). 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 245SGS513, it is determined whether or not the starting opening buffer value is "1" (245SGS514). At this time, if the starting port buffer value is "1" (245SGS514; Y), the starting port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (245SGS515), and the process proceeds to 245SGS501b. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2" (245SGS514; N), the starting opening buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (245SGS516), and then the starting winning determination process 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 245SGS 512 of FIG. 8-15 as the random number value determination process at the time of winning. In the special feature 245SG, 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 the prize random number determination process of the 245SGS512 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the start 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 random number determination process at the time of winning 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 245SG152 or the like, for example, thereby playing a pachinko game. The current game state in machine 1 is specified (245SGS521). 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 245SGS521, the CPU 103 identifies the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (245SGS522). 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 (245SGS524).

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 (245SGS525) 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.

Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is determined in 245SGS525 that the variable display result is a big hit (245SGS526). When it is determined that the big hit is not generated (245SGS526; N), it is determined whether the variable display result is determined to be the small hit in the 245SGS525 (245SGS527). 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 (245SGS527; 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 (245SGS527a), and it is determined whether the time saving flag is set, that is, whether the current game state is the time saving state (245SGS528).

When the time saving flag is not set (245SGS528; N), the deviation variation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 8-14 is selected and set, and the process proceeds to 245SGS536 (245SGS529), and when the time saving flag is set. (245SGS528; Y), the deviation variation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 8-14(D) is selected and set, and the process proceeds to 245SGS536 (245SGS530).

When it is determined in 245SGS526 that the variable display is a big hit (245SGS526; 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 (245SGS533). 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 (245SGS534), 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 (245SGS535). ) Go to 245 SGS 536.

Further, when it is determined in 245SGS527 that the small display will be a small hit in the variable display (245SGS527; Y), the transmission setting of the sixth symbol designating command which is the symbol designating command corresponding to the variable display result being the "small hit". Is executed (245SGS531), the small hit variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-13(B) is selected and set (245SGS532), and the process proceeds to 245SGS536.

In the characteristic part 245SG, 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 245SGS529, 245SGS530, 245SGS532, 245SGS535, 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 A variation category corresponding to the range of the determination value including the numerical value MR3 is determined (245SGS536). In the characteristic part 245SG, 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 for transmitting the variation category designation command according to the determination result by the processing of 245SGS536 to the effect control board 12 (245SGS537), 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.

Next, a process executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the characteristic unit 245SG of the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 8-17 is a flowchart showing the effect control main processing in the characteristic unit 245SG. In the characteristic part 245SG, as shown in FIG. 8-17, a part for executing the error notification process (245SGS078) is added to the effect control main process of FIG. 6 described in the above basic description.

In the error notification process (245SGS078), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an error designation command is received from the main board 11, and when the error designation command is received, the received error designation command is received. The error detected by the CPU 103 is specified from the command. Then, the effect control CPU 120 may execute control to display the error notification image 245SG005J (see FIG. 8-39) corresponding to the identified error on the image display device 5.

FIG. 8-18 is a part of the flowchart showing the effect control process processing in the characteristic unit 245SG. In the effect control process process in the characteristic part 239SG, after executing the prefetching notice determination process (step S71), after executing the hold display update process (245SGGSGS072) and the fourth symbol variable display update process (245SGGSGS073), S170 shown in FIG. Any of the processes from to S177 is executed.

In the predetermined area of the RAM 122 of the characteristic part 245SG, four commands such as a start winning opening designation command, a symbol designation command, a variation category designation command, and a reserved storage number notification command are set as a first special figure reserved storage and A winning-during-reception command buffer having a storage area (entry) for separately storing the special figure reservation storage is provided.

In the hold display update processing, the CPU 120 for effect control stores the number of "B100(H)" commands indicating the first start winning a prize opening as the starting opening winning award designating command stored in the start winning award receiving command buffer. Based on the above, the display number of the reserved storage in the first reserved storage display area 245SG005D is updated. Further, the effect control CPU 120, based on the number of stored commands of "B200 (H)" indicating the second starting winning opening as the starting opening winning award designating command stored in the start winning award receiving command buffer. The display number of the reserved storage in the second reserved storage display area 245SG005U is updated.

Further, in the fourth symbol variable display update process (245SGSGS073), when the value of the effect control process flag is a value according to the variable display effect process, the effect control CPU 120 performs the blinking display of the fourth symbol 245SG005F. ..

8-19 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 (245SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is set (245SGS271; 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 245SGS 271 (245SGS271; N), it is determined whether the second variable display start command reception flag is set (245SGS273). When the second variable display start command reception flag is not set (245SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is ended, and when the second variable display 2 start command reception flag is set (245SGS273; 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 (245SGS274). 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 245SGS272 or 245SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (245SGS275).

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) (245SGS276). 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 case where the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment and the received display result designation command are the second variable display result designation commands corresponding to the big hit A, for example, a decorative design in which three designs are arranged in even numbers as a stop design 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). Further, when the received display result designation command is the fifth variable table uncle result designation command indicating a small hit, for example, three consecutive numbers such as “123” and “246”, three consecutive even numbers (or Decide the combination of decorative designs (odd number) etc. (small hit design). 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 the 245SGS276, the effect control CPU 120 displays the reel image 245SG005G on the image display device 5, and at the same time, performs the reel effect for performing the variable display in the reel image 245SG005G and stopping and displaying the predetermined symbol. The determination process (245SGS276a) is executed. Then, it is determined whether or not the variable pattern of the variable display is the super reach reach pattern (245SG277). 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 245SG275. When the change pattern of the variable display is the change pattern of super reach (245SG277; Y), whether to execute the cut-in effect described later during the reach effect and the cut for determining the effect pattern of the cut-in effect The in effect determination process (245SGS278) is executed, and the process proceeds to 245SGS279. When the variable pattern of the variable display is not the super reach reach pattern (245SG277; N), the process of 245SGS278 is not executed and the process proceeds to 245SGS279.

Then, in 245SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 executes the advance effect determination process for determining whether or not to execute the advanced effect described later in the variable display and the effect pattern of the advanced effect (245SGS279). Note that the notice effect is an effect that can be executed during variable display of the non-reach variation pattern excluding the shortened non-reach, as shown in FIGS. 8-31 to 8-34. The variable display is an effect that can be executed during the period from the start of the variable display to the timing when the reach is reached.

After executing 245SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) according to the variation pattern designation command (245SGS280). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (245SGS281).

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 (245SGS282). 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 245SG in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed by the variation pattern corresponding to the variation 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 (245SGS283). Also, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (245SGS284). 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. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the effect display during variable display (S172), and the variable display start setting processing ends (245SGS285).

FIG. 8-20 is a flowchart showing an example of the reel effect determination processing (245SGSGS276a) executed by the effect control CPU 120. In the reel effect determination processing shown in FIG. 8-20, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the game state at that time (245SGSGS291). Then, it is determined whether or not the specified gaming state is the normal state (low-probability low-base state) (245SGSGS292).

When the specified game state is not the normal state (245SGGSGS292; N), the reel effect determination process is ended. Therefore, in the characteristic part 245SG, the execution of the reel effect is not decided in the time saving state (low accurate high base state) or the positive change state (high accurate high base state) which is the game state other than the normal state.

On the other hand, when the specified gaming state is the normal state (245SGSGS292; Y), the variable display result is specified based on the set value at that time and the variable display result notification command transmitted from the main board 11 (245SGSGS293). ).

Then, based on the specified setting value, it is determined whether or not to display the "cherry" symbol as the effect result (symbol to be stopped and displayed) of the reel effect (245SGSGS294). These "cherry" symbols are determined by extracting a random number value for the cherry symbol, and the extracted random number value for the cherry symbol is associated with each setting value in the cherry symbol determination table (not shown). 8-21(A), it is determined by the ratio shown in FIG.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21(A), when the setting value is set to 1, the display of the "cherry" symbol is determined at a rate of 0.5%, and the setting value is 2 If set to 1, the display of the "cherry" symbol is determined at a rate of 1.0%, and if the setting value is set to 3, the display of the "cherry" symbol at a rate of 1.5% Is decided, the display of the "cherry" symbol is decided at a rate of 2.0% when the set value is set to 4, and 2.5% when the set value is set to 5. The display of the "cherry" symbol is determined by the ratio, and when the setting value is set to 6, the display of the "cherry" symbol is determined by the ratio of 3.0%. In other words, the proportion of the display of the "cherry" symbol is small, but the larger the set value is, the easier it is to determine.

When the display of the "cherry" symbol is determined as the effect result of the reel effect (245SGSGS295; Y), the determined effect result is stored (245SGSGS300b), and the reel effect determination process is ended, while the effect effect of the reel effect is determined. As a result, when the display of the "cherry" symbol is not decided (245SGSGS295; N), it is determined whether or not the "watermelon" symbol is displayed as the result of the reel effect (the symbol to be stopped and displayed) based on the set value. (245SGSGS296). As for the determination of whether or not to display these "watermelon" symbols, similarly to the above-described determination of whether or not to display the "cherry" symbol, a random number value for the watermelon symbol is extracted and the extracted watermelon symbol is used. A random number value is determined at a rate shown in FIG. 8-21(B) depending on whether or not the random number value matches a win determination value associated with each setting value in a watermelon symbol determination table (not shown). It is like this.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21(B), when the set value is set to 1, the display of the “watermelon” symbol is determined at a rate of 6.5%, and the set value is 2 If set to 1, the display of the "watermelon" symbol is determined at a rate of 1.0%, and if the setting value is set to 3, the display of a "watermelon" symbol at a rate of 1.5% Is determined, the display of the "watermelon" symbol is determined at a rate of 2.0% when the set value is set to 4, and 2.5% when the set value is set to 5. The display of the "watermelon" symbol is determined by the ratio, and when the setting value is set to 6, the display of the "watermelon" symbol is determined by the ratio of 3.0%. In other words, the proportion of the display of the "watermelon" symbol is determined to be higher than that of the "cherry" symbol, and a larger set value is more likely to be determined than the case of the "cherry" symbol. There is.

When the display of the “watermelon” symbol is determined as the effect result of the reel effect (245SGSGS297; Y), the determined effect result is stored (245SGSGS300b), and the reel effect determination process is terminated while the effect effect of the reel effect is determined. When the display of the "watermelon" symbol is not determined as (245SGSGS297; N), it is determined whether or not the variable display result specified by 245SGSGS293 is a big hit (245SGSGS298).

When the variable display result is not the big hit (245SGGSGS298; N), the process proceeds to 245SGGSGS300d, while when the variable display result is the big hit (245SGSGS298; Y), the effect result of the reel effect (stop display is performed based on the set value) It is determined whether or not to display the "7" symbol (seven symbol) as the symbol) (245SGSGS299). As for the determination as to whether or not to display these "7" symbols, as in the determination as to whether or not to display the "cherry" symbol as described above, a random number value for Seven symbols is extracted and the extracted Seven symbols are used. The random number value is determined at the ratio shown in FIG. 8-21(C) depending on whether or not the random number value matches the win determination value associated with each set value in the seven symbol determination table not shown. It is like this.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21(C), when the set value is set to 4, the display of the “7” symbol is determined at a rate of 1%, and the set value is set to 5 If it is set, the display of the "7" symbol is determined at a rate of 3%, and if the set value is set to 6, the display of the "7" symbol is determined at a rate of 5%, the set value When is set to any of 1 to 3, the display of the "7" symbol is not decided. Therefore, by displaying the "7" symbol, it is definitely notified that the jackpot will be a big hit, and also that the set value is 4 or more.

When the display of the "7" symbol is determined as the effect result of the reel effect (245SGSGS300a; Y), the determined effect result is stored (245SGSGS300b), and the reel effect determination process is terminated while the effect effect of the reel effect is ended. When the display of the "7" symbol is not decided as (245SGGSGS300a; N), the process proceeds to 245SGGSGS300d, and as a result of the reel effect (the symbol to be stopped and displayed) based on the variable display result specified by 245SGGSGS293. It is determined whether or not to display the "Gekiatsu" symbol (245SGSGS300d).

Even when deciding whether or not to display these "super hot" symbols, a random number value for super hot symbols is extracted, and the extracted random number for super hot symbols is variably displayed in the super hot symbol determination table (not shown). It is determined by the ratio shown in FIG. 8-21(D) depending on whether or not the winning determination values associated with the result “big hit” and “other than big hit (small hit/miss)” are matched. It has become so.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21(D), when the variable display result is a big hit, the display of the "super hot" symbol is determined at a rate of 20%, and the variable display result is other than the big hit. In the case of a small hit or out of contact, the display of the "super hot" symbol is determined at a rate of 1%. Therefore, when the "super hot" symbol is displayed, there are very few cases where the jackpot is not a big hit, and the jackpot is almost certainly a big hit.

Then, when the display of the "super hot" symbol is determined as the effect result of the reel effect (245SGSGS300e; Y), the determined effect result is stored (245SGSGS300b), and the reel effect determination process is terminated while the reel effect is determined. When the display of the "super hot" symbol is not decided as the effect result of (245SGGSGS300e; N), the "chance" symbol is displayed as the effect result of the reel effect (the symbol to be stopped and displayed) based on the variable display result. It is determined whether or not to perform (245SGSGS300f).

Also in deciding whether or not to display these "chance" symbols, a random number value for chance symbols is extracted, and the extracted random number value for chance symbols is a variable display result in a chance symbol determination table (not shown). Depending on whether or not the winning determination values associated with "big hit" and "other than big hit (small hit/miss)" are met, the proportions shown in FIG. 8-21(E) are determined. ing.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21(E), when the variable display result is a big hit, the display of the "chance" symbol is determined at a rate of 50%, and the variable display result is a small hit other than the big hit. In the case of winning or losing, the display of the "chance" symbol is determined at a rate of 30%. Therefore, when the "chance" symbol is displayed, there is a high possibility of a big hit.

Then, when the display of the "chance" symbol is determined as the effect result of the reel effect (245SGSGS300g; Y), the determined effect result is stored (245SGSGS300b), and the reel effect determination process is ended, while the reel effect is changed. When the display of the "chance" symbol is not determined as the effect result (245SGSGS300g; N), it is determined whether or not to display the "bell" symbol as the effect result of the reel effect (the symbol to be stopped and displayed) (245SGSGS300h). ).

Also in determining whether or not to display these "bell" symbols, the bell symbol random number value is extracted, and the extracted bell symbol random number values are won/unwinned in the bell symbol determination table not shown. Depending on whether or not the matched win determination value is met, it is determined at the rate shown in FIG.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21(F), it is determined to display the "bell" symbol at a rate of 90%, but not to display the "bell" symbol at a rate of 10%. ..

When the display of the "bell" symbol is determined as the effect result of the reel effect (245SGSGS300i; Y), the determined effect result is stored (245SGSGS300b), and the reel effect determination process is terminated while the reel effect is changed. When the display of the "bell" symbol is not determined as the effect result (245SGSGS300i; N), the reel effect determination processing is ended as it is, so that the reel effect is not executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-21(A) to 8-21(F), each symbol of “cherry”, “watermelon”, “7”, “super hot”, “chance” is a pachinko game machine. While it is determined whether to display at a ratio according to the set value set to 1 or the variable display result, the "bell" symbol is fixed regardless of the set value and the variable display result. It is a design that determines whether or not to display in proportion. That is, if any of the symbols "cherry", "watermelon", "7", "super hot", and "chance" is stopped and displayed on the reel image 245SG005G as a result of the reel effect, the pachinko gaming machine 1 While the set value and the variable display result that have been set are suggested, when the "bell" symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel image 245SG005G as the effect result of the reel effect, nothing is suggested.

In the characteristic part 245SG, the reel effect exemplifies a mode that can be executed only during the variable display of the low accurate low base state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel effect is Execution may be possible during variable display of the probability changing state and the time saving state (high accuracy high base status, low accuracy high base status).

In the reel effect in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-37, the player operates the stick controller 31A until a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) elapses after the variable display is started. By doing so, the reel image 245SG005G is displayed on the image display device 5, and variable display is executed within the reel image 245SG005G (reel fluctuation is executed). Then, as the effect result, one of the symbols "cherry", "watermelon", "7", "super hot", "chance", and "bell" is stopped and displayed in the reel image 245SG005G.

After any one of the symbols "cherry", "watermelon", "7", "super hot", "chance", and "bell" is stopped and displayed in the reel image 245SG005G, the reel image 245SG005G is changed. If the display is a variable display of the normal reach or super reach variation pattern, it is hidden at the timing before the reach, and if the variable display is a variable display of the non-reach variation pattern, it is hidden at the timing before the end of the variable display. To do.

8-22 to 8-24 are flowcharts showing the cut-in effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-19. In the cut-in effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variation pattern is a variation pattern of super reach α or super reach β (245SGS301). When the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super-reach α or super-reach β (245SGS301; Y), the cut-in effect determination processing is terminated, and when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super-reach γ or super-reach δ (245SGS301; N) further determines whether or not the variation pattern is a variation pattern of super reach γ (245SGS302).

When the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super-reach γ (245SGS301; 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 (245SGS303). .. When the variation pattern is PB1-5 (245SGS303; Y), the effect control CPU 120 specifies the jackpot type (245SGS304) and determines whether the jackpot type is a jackpot A or a jackpot B (245SGS305). ..

When the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B (245SGS305; Y), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on whether the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B (245SGS306), 245SGS308. Proceed to. In 245SGS306, as shown in FIG. 8-25(A), the variation pattern is PB1-5 and the variable display result (big hit type) is big hit A or big hit B. Is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 55%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 5%. , 0% is determined as the pattern CI-4.

The cut-in effect in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment is, as shown in FIGS. 8-32 and 8-40, an image (operation of the push button 31B on the image display device 5 during the reach effect of the super reach γ). The promotion image 245SG005H) is displayed to prompt the player to operate the push button 31B. Then, when the push button 31B is operated during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B ends without the push button 31B being operated, each effect is displayed on the image display device 5. Displays the effect and cut-in image according to the pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-27 and 8-40, if the effect pattern is the pattern CI-1, the cut-in image 245SG005w is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the blue effect, and the effect pattern is If the pattern is CI-2, the cut-in image 245SG005x is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the red effect, and if the effect pattern is pattern CI-3, the cut-in image 245SG005y is displayed together with the golden effect on the image display device 5. If the effect pattern is the pattern CI-4, the cut-in image 245SG005z is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the rainbow effect.

When the big hit type is the big hit C (245SGS305; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern based on the big hit type being the big hit C (245SGS307). Proceed to 245 SGS 308. In the 245SGS307, as shown in FIG. 8-25(A), the non-execution of the cut-in effect is 10% based on that the variation pattern is PB1-5 and the variable display result (big hit type) is big hit C.

Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 54%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 5%. The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 1%.

After executing 245SGS306 or 245SGS307, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the cut-in effect has been determined (245SGS308). When it is determined to execute the cut-in effect (245SGS308; Y), the determined effect pattern is stored and a value corresponding to the period until the start of the cut-in effect is set in the cut-in effect start waiting timer (245SGS309, 245SGS310). ), the cut-in effect determination process ends.

When the variation pattern in 245SGS303 is the variation pattern of super-reach γ (PA2-4 or PB1-4) that does not execute the revival effect (245SGS303; N), the effect control CPU 120 is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The specified setting value is specified (245SGS311), and it is determined whether the specified setting value is any of 1 to 3 (245SGS312). The set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be specified based on the set value designation command received from the CPU 103.

When the execution of the cut-in effect is determined in the cut-in effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the cut-in effect start wait timer by -1 each time the variable display effect process (S172) is executed. If the cut-in effect start waiting timer is timed out, the cut-in effect process table corresponding to the decided effect pattern is set. After that, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect device (image display device 5, speakers 8L, 8R, game effect lamp) according to the contents of the data (process data) in the cut-in effect process table each time the variable display effect effect process is executed. The cut-in effect may be executed by performing control of (9, etc.).

When the jackpot type is the jackpot C (245SGS341; N), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the setting value being 6 and the jackpot type being the jackpot C ( 245SGS343) and 245SGS308 to 245SGS310. Note that in 245SGS343, as shown in FIG. 8-25(E), non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on the setting value being 6 and the jackpot type being a jackpot C. Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

When the variable display result is out of order in 245SGS339 (245SGS339; N), it is further determined whether or not the gaming state is the highly accurate and high base state (245SGS344). The game state may be specified from the game state designation command received from the CPU 103.

When the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state (245SGS344; Y), it is cut based on the setting value being 6, the variable display result being out of order, and the gaming state being the high-accuracy high-base state. The presence/absence of execution of the in-effect and the effect pattern are determined (245SGS345), and the processes of 245SGS308 to 245SGS310 are executed. Incidentally, in the 245SGS345, as shown in FIG. 8-25(E), the cutting is performed based on the setting value being 6, the variable display result being out of alignment, and the gaming state being the highly accurate and high base state. The non-execution of in production is determined at a rate of 30%. Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 10%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 30%. , 0% is determined as the pattern CI-4.

When the gaming state is the low-probability high base state or the low-probability low base state (245SGS344; 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 cut-in effect is executed and the effect pattern are determined based on the state or the low accurate low base state (245SGS346), and the processes of 245SGS308 to 245SGS310 are executed. In the 245SGS346, as shown in FIG. 8-25(E), the setting value is 6, the variable display result is out of order, and the gaming state is the low-probability high base state or the low-probability low base state. Based on this, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 57%. As the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 10%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 3%. , 0% is determined as the pattern CI-4.

When the variation pattern of super reach δ in 245SGS302 (PS2-5 or PB1-6) (202SGS302; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (245SGS351). .. Whether or not the variable display result is a big hit may be determined by whether or not the variation pattern is PB1-4 of the super reach γ big hit.

When the variable display result is the big hit (245SGS351; Y), the big hit type is specified (245SGS352), and it is determined whether the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B (245SGS353).

When the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B (245SGS353; Y), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on that the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B (245SGS354), 245SGS308. ~245 SGS310 processing is executed. Note that in 245SGS354, as shown in FIG. 8-26, non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on whether the jackpot type is a jackpot A or a jackpot B. Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 50%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. , 0% is determined as the pattern CI-4.

When the big hit type is the big hit C (245SGS353; N), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the big hit type being the big hit C (245SGS355), and the processing of 245SGS308 to 245SGS310. To execute. Incidentally, in 245SGS355, as shown in FIG. 8-26, non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on that the type of big hit is big hit C. Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

When the variable display result is out of order in 245SGS351 (245SGS351; N), the presence/absence of execution of the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the outlier in the variable display result (245SGS356), 245SGS308 to 245SGS310. The process of is executed. Incidentally, in 245SGS356, as shown in FIG. 8-26, non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 35% based on the variable display result being a failure. Further, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern CI-2 at a rate of 10%, and the pattern CI-3 at a rate of 25%. , 0% is determined as the pattern CI-4.

As described above, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-25 and 8-26, when variable display is executed with a variation pattern of super reach γ or super reach δ, cut-in is performed. When the effect is not executed, the ratio in which the variable display result is the big hit (big hit expectation) is low, and when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-1, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-2. When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the ratio in which the variable display result is a big hit is set to increase in the order in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-4. (Big hit expectation in cut-in effect: non-execution<pattern CI-1<pattern CI-2<pattern CI-3<pattern CI-4).

In particular, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-4, it is determined that the variable display result is the big hit and the big hit type is the big hit C regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-25, 8-26, and 8-28, when the variable display is executed with the variation patterns of super reach γ and super reach δ, the cut-in effect is represented by pattern CI-3. The ratio of execution is set to the lowest (0%) when the set value is any of 1 to 3 and the variation pattern is out of super reach γ or out of super reach δ. If the change pattern is a super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, the set value is one to 3 and the change pattern does not execute the revival effect-if the per reach γ big hit/super reach δ big hit, the set value 4 is set and the variation pattern is a super reach γ big hit that does not execute the revival effect, the setting value is 5, and when the variation pattern is super reach γ big hit that does not perform the revival effect, the setting value is 6 and the fluctuation pattern Is set such that the ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is increased in the order of the super reach γ big hit without executing the revival effect.

Also, paying attention when the variation pattern is the variation pattern (PA2-4 and PB1-4) of the super reach γ that does not execute the revival effect, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1 to 3, When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit (any one of big hit A to big hit C), while the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When 4 to 6 are set, the variable display result may be lost even when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3. That is, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the cut-in is more than when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3. The big hit expectation degree when the effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to be low. Therefore, in the feature unit 245SG of the present embodiment, when the reach effect of the super reach γ is executed, if the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of alignment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 It is confirmed that the set value set in is any of 4 to 6.

On the other hand, focusing on the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3 rather than the variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit (PB1-4) that executes the revival effect. And the rate of execution in pattern CI-4 is set low. For this reason, in the case where variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit that does not execute the resurrection effect, the cut-in effect is executed in CI-3 and the deviation is notified, so that the pachinko gaming machine is notified. Despite the fact that the player has confirmed that the set value set to 1 is any of 4 to 6, the revival effect is executed later and it is notified that it is a big hit. It is suppressed that the player is discouraged because it becomes uncertain whether the set value set in the gaming machine 1 is 4 to 6.

In addition, 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 the super reach γ (PA2-4 and PB1-4) that does not execute the revival effect. Paying attention, in the case where the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to be the same regardless of the set values, but the variable display result is out of range. For, the higher the set value, the higher the ratio that the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 is set (the pattern CI-3 execution ratio at the time of deviation when the set values are 4 to 6: the set value 4< Setting value 5 <setting value 6).

Therefore, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the higher the set value is, so that the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, and the variable display result is deviated. Since the frequency becomes higher, it is possible to expect the player that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game. There is.

In addition, 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 (PA2-4 and PB1-4) of the super reach γ that does not execute the revival effect. If the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the same and the variable display result is out of alignment, the gaming state is low accurate high base state or low accurate when the gaming state is high accurate high base state. The cut-in effect is set to be executed in the pattern CI-3 at a higher rate than in the low base state.

Therefore, in the characteristic portion 245SG of the present embodiment, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of the high-accuracy and high-base state, and the variable display result is out of alignment, so that the game state is low in probability. Since the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set to any one of the set values 4 to 6 even after shifting to the low base state, it is possible to urge the player to continue the game, so that the interest of the game can be improved. ing.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-25(B) to 8-25(E), focusing on the case where the variable display result is out of alignment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the cut-in becomes. The execution ratio of the performance is set high. In other words, in the present characteristic part 245SG, it is suggested that the ratio itself in which the cut-in effect is executed when the variable display result is out of proportion is set to any one of the set values 4 to 6 in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, in addition to whether or not the cut-in effect is executed in the effect pattern with a high jackpot expectation, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the cut-in effect is executed. It is possible to improve the fun of playing games.

Further, the determination rates of the effect patterns of the cut-in effect shown in FIGS. 8-25 and 8-26 are merely examples, and the determination rates of the effect patterns of these cut-in effects are determined according to the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. You may make it differ from the characteristic part 245SG suitably. However, when the determination ratios of the effect patterns of these cut-in effects are appropriately changed, the tendency of the big hit expectation degree of each effect pattern (the big hit expectation degree in the cut-in effect: non-execution <pattern CI-1 <pattern CI-2 <Pattern CI-3 <Pattern CI-4) itself is maintained so that the player does not mistakenly expect the jackpot expectation according to the effect pattern of the cut-in effect when executing the cut-in effect. Is desirable.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-26, when the variable display is executed by the variation pattern of super reach γ or super reach δ, the pachinko gaming machine 1 An example is shown in which the ratio of executing the cut-in effect during the variable display is changed in accordance with the set value set to the variable display result and the variable display result, but the present invention is not limited to this, When the variable display is executed by the variation pattern of the reach γ or the super reach δ, the cut-in effect may be executed during the variable display. Incidentally, in the case where the cut-in effect is always executed during the variable display of the super reach γ and the super reach δ in this way, if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, If the variable display result is out of proportion, the proportion (see FIGS. 8-25(C) to 8-25(E)) assigned to the non-execution of the cut-in effect is set to the pattern CI-1 having a low jackpot expectation degree or By assigning to both the pattern CI-1 and the pattern CI-2, the ratio at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 may be maintained so as not to differ from the main feature portion 245SG. By doing so, the cut-in effect is excessively executed in the pattern CI-3 while improving the interest by the cut-in effect being executed during the variable display of the super reach γ and the super reach δ. Thus, it is possible to prevent the player from easily recognizing that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6.

FIG. 8-29 is a flowchart showing the notice effect determination process in FIG. 8-19. In the notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (245SGS361). Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a small hit (245SGS362). When the variable display result is a small hit (245SGS362; Y), the notice effect determination process is ended, and when the variable display result is a big hit or a miss (245SGS362; N), the execution of the cut-in effect is further determined. It is determined whether or not, that is, whether or not one of the effect patterns of the cut-in effect is stored (245SGS363).

When the execution of the cut-in effect is determined (245SGS363; Y), it is further determined whether the stored effect pattern of the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4 (245SGS364). ). When the stored effect pattern of the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4 (245SGS364; Y), the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4. Then, the presence/absence of execution of the notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified variable display result and change pattern (245SGS365).

On the other hand, when non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined (245SGS363; N) or when the stored effect pattern is the pattern CI-1 or CI-2 (245SGS364; N), the variable display result is It is determined whether or not it is a big hit (245SGS366). When the variable display result is the big hit (245SGS366; Y), the big hit type is specified (245SGS367), and whether or not to execute the notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified big hit type (245SGS368).

When the variable display result is out of alignment (245SGS366; N), the presence/absence of execution of the notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified variable display result and the variation pattern (245SGS369).

Specifically, in the process of 245SGS365, as shown in FIG. 8-30(A), when the variable display result is a big hit, non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 15%. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 55%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. When the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is super reach (out of reach), non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 20%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the characteristic portion 245SG of the present embodiment, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of alignment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. This is a case where the set value is any of 4 to 6 and the variation pattern is the variation pattern of the out-of-reach γ (PA2-4).

As shown in FIG. 8-30(C), the pattern YE-1 is an effect pattern for displaying the image 245SG005s of the character A together with the blue effect on the image display device 5, and the pattern YE-2 is the image display device 5. Is an effect pattern for displaying the image 245SG005t of the character B with a red effect, and the pattern YE-3 is an effect pattern for displaying the image 245SG005u of the character C on the image display device 5 together with a gold effect, and the pattern YE-4. Is an effect pattern for displaying the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C on the image display device 5 together with the iridescent effect.

Further, in the processing of 245SGS368, as shown in FIG. 8-30(B), when the big hit type is big hit A or big hit B, the non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 45%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 15%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. If the type of big hit is big hit C, the non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 40%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 15%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

In the process of 245SGS369, as shown in FIG. 8-30(B), when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), the non-execution of the notice effect is set to 50%. Determine by percentage. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 15%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 5%. The pattern YE-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), the non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 15%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 5%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out and the variation pattern is non-reach (non-reach out) excluding shortened non-reach, non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. Further, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be the pattern YE-1 at a rate of 5%, the pattern YE-2 at a rate of 0%, and the pattern YE-3 at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

The notice effect in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment is, as shown in FIG. 8-38, during variable display (if variable display of reach variation pattern is being performed, start of variable display until reach is reached). In the middle), the image of the push button 31B (operation promotion image 245SG005H) is displayed on the image display device 5 to prompt the player to operate the push button 31B. When the push button 31B is operated during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B ends without the push button 31B being operated, each effect is displayed on the image display device 5. A character image corresponding to the pattern is displayed.

Therefore, when the variation pattern is the shortened non-reach, the period for executing the notice effect is extremely short (for example, the non-reach variation pattern (PA1- If the notice effect is executed during the variable display in 3), the period for displaying the operation promotion image 245SG005H is about 1 second, and the period for displaying the character image is about 1 to 2 seconds, which is extremely short. In the characteristic part 245SG, when the variation pattern is the shortened non-reach, the notice effect is not executed during the variable display, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation pattern is the shortened non-reach. Even in some cases, the notice effect may be executed during the variable display.

As described above, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, the ratio (big hit expectation) at which the variable display result is the big hit is set to be the lowest when the notice effect is not executed during the variable display, and the notice effect is a pattern. Variable display in the order of YE-1, the notice effect executed in the pattern YE-2, the notice effect executed in YE-3, and the notice effect executed in YE-4. It is set such that the ratio of the result to be a big hit is high (the big hit expectation degree of the notice effect: non-execution of notice effect <execute in pattern YE-1 <execute in pattern YE-2 <execute in pattern YE-3 <pattern Execute with YE-4).

In particular, as shown in FIG. 8-30(B), when the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined, or when the cut-in effect has a lower jackpot expectation degree than the patterns CI-3 and CI-4, the pattern CI-. In the case where the execution in 1 or the pattern CI-2 is determined, there is a case in which the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-4 only when the big hit type is the big hit C. Therefore, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, in addition to whether or not the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-3, the game is also performed as to whether or not the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-4. It is possible to draw attention to the person.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-30(A), as the effect pattern of the cut-in effect, pattern CI-3 having a higher jackpot expectation degree than pattern CI-1 or pattern CI-2, or the variable display result is a jackpot. In the case where the pattern CI-4 that determines that the big hit type is the big hit C is determined, YE-3 or YE-4 is used as the effect pattern of the notice effect regardless of the variable display result or the variation pattern. It is set not to be executed. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the cut-in effect can be executed only with the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2, so that the variable display result is a big hit. It is prevented that the player recognizes the timing before the timing (the timing for starting the notice effect). Further, in the case where the variable display result is out of alignment, both the notice effect and the cut-in effect are not executed in the effect pattern with a high expectation for a big hit, so that the player is overwhelmed by the fact that the variable display result is a big hit. It is prevented to expect.

After performing any one of the processing of 245SGS365, 245SGS368, and 245SGS369, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not execution of the notice effect has been determined (245SGS370). When it is determined to execute the notice effect (245SGS370; Y), the effect pattern determined by one of the processes of 245SGS365, 245SGS368, and 245SGS369 is stored (245SGS371), and the notice effect start waiting timer is set to notify the effect. The effect determination process is ended (245SGS372). When the non-execution of the notice effect is determined (245SGS370; N), the notice effect determination process is ended without executing the processes of 245SGS371 and 245SGS372.

When it is decided to execute the notice effect in the notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the notice effect start waiting timer by -1 every time the variable display effect process (S172) is executed. When the production start waiting timer is timed out, the notice production process table corresponding to the determined production pattern is set. After that, the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect device (image display device 5, speakers 8L, 8R, game effect lamp 9) in accordance with the contents of the data (process data) in the notice effect process table each time the variable display effect process is executed. The notice effect may be executed by performing control such as (1).

As described above, the execution of the reel effect, the cut-in effect, and the notice effect can be determined in the variable display start setting process, so that FIG. 8-31(A), FIG. 8-31(B), and FIG. As shown in FIG. 32(A), in the variation pattern of non-reach deviation (excluding shortened non-reach deviation), the notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 during the variable display, and the variation of normal reach deviation occurs. In the pattern, the notice effect can be executed by the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2 in the period before the reach in the variable display. In the variation pattern of the super reach α deviation and the super reach β deviation, the change effect is variable. The notice effect can be executed in the pattern YE-1 to the pattern YE-3 in the period before the reach being displayed. In the variation patterns of normal reach, super reach α, and super reach γ, cut-in effects cannot be executed in the period after reach.

In this characteristic portion 245SG, the reel effect can be executed during the variable display of the shortened non-reach deviation, and the special figure variation time of the variable display of the shortened non-reach deviation is set to 3.75 seconds at the shortest. There is. Therefore, the reel effect execution period including the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A in the main feature unit 245SG is set to approximately 3 seconds to 3.5 seconds.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-32(B), in the variation patterns of out-of-reach γ and out-of-reach δ, the notice effect can be executed in the patterns YE-1 to YE-3 in the period before the reach. In the period after the reach, the cut-in effect can be executed with the pattern CI-1 to the pattern CI-3. However, when the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in the pattern CI-3, the notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34, in the variation patterns of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect and the super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, the advance notice pattern is used in the period before the reach. YE-1 to pattern YE-4 can be executed, and the cut-in effect can be executed in patterns CI-1 to CI-4 in the period after the reach. However, when the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, the notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2.

Further, in any case, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 31 to 8-34, the player operates the stick controller 31A during the period from the start timing of the variable display to the execution start timing of the notice effect. As a result, the reel image 245SG005G is displayed on the image display device 5 and the reel effect is executed.

In the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A in the reel effect, unlike the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B of the notice effect or the cut-in effect, the stick controller 31A is operated by the player in the image display device 5. No operation prompting image is displayed. That is, unlike the advance notice effect and the cut-in effect, the reel effect in the main feature unit 245SG is an effect that is not executed unless the player operates the stick controller 31A during the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A. ..

Furthermore, since the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A in the reel effect and the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B in the notice effect do not overlap, the player operates the stick controller 31A for executing the reel effect and the character as the notice effect. It is not necessary to perform the operation of the push button 31B for displaying the image at the same time, and it is prevented that the player's operation for performing the effect is complicated.

In addition, when execution of both the notice effect and the reel effect is determined at the start of the variable display, the notice effect and the reel effect are changed by operating the stick controller 31A during the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A. The production periods partially overlap.

From the above, as shown in FIG. 8-35, in the present characteristic portion 245SG, reel effects, notice effects, and cut-in effects are provided as effects that can be executed during variable display. Of these effects, the reel effect is an effect that is executed by the player operating the stick controller 31A, and the operation promotion image is not displayed on the image display device 5 during the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A. Further, the target that the reel effect suggests is the jackpot expectation or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or both, and during the period in which the effect can be executed, the variable display starts to the variable display end ( (If the variation pattern is out of reach) or from the start of variable display to reach (if the variation pattern is normal reach or super reach).

The advance notice effect is an effect that is executed by the player operating the push button 31B or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B elapses, and image display is performed during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. The operation promotion image 245SG005H is displayed on the device 5. In addition, the target that the notice effect suggests is only the jackpot expectation, and during the period when the effect can be executed, from the start of variable display to the end of variable display (when the variation pattern is out of reach) or the start of variable display. From to reach (when the variation pattern is normal reach or super reach).

In addition, the cut-in effect is an effect that is executed when the player operates the push button 31B or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B elapses. During the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, the image is displayed. The operation promoting image 245SG005H is displayed on the display device 5. Further, the target indicated by the cut-in effect is the jackpot expectation or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or both, and the period during which the effect can be executed is after the reach.

Next, the display control unit 123 in the main feature unit 245SG will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8-36(A) and 8-36(B), the display control unit 123 uses a first layer 245SG301, a second layer 245SG302, a third layer 245SG303, as layers for drawing an image. The fourth layer 245SG304 is included, and the images drawn on the first layer 245SG301 to the fourth layer 245SG304 can be combined and displayed on the image display device 5.

Of these layers, the first layer 245SG301 is the highest layer (top layer) and draws an error notification image 245SG005J and a fourth symbol 245SG005F as game progress information display corresponding to the progress of the game. It is a layer for. The second layer 245SG302 is a layer lower than the first layer 245SG301, and is a layer for drawing a reel effect (reel image 245SG005G). The third layer 245SG303 is a layer lower than the second layer 245SG302, and has a notice effect (image 245SG005s of character A, image 245SG005t of character B, image 245SG005u of character C, group image 245SG005v of characters A to C, and a push button. It is a layer for drawing the operation promotion image 245SG005H of 31B and the cut-in effect (cut-in image 245SG005w, 245SG005x, 245SG005y, 245SG005, and the operation promotion image 245SG005H of the push button 31B). The fourth layer 245SG304 is a layer (lowermost layer) lower than the third layer 245SG303, and has a decorative pattern in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. This is a layer for drawing the variable display and the reserved display in the first reserved storage display area 245SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 245SG005U.

Therefore, in the characteristic part 245SG, the image drawn on the third layer 245SG303 is displayed on the image display device 5 with priority over the image drawn on the fourth layer 245SG304. The image drawn on the second layer 245SG302 is designed to be displayed on the image display device 5 prior to the images drawn on the third layer 245SG303 and the fourth layer 245SG304, and drawn on the first layer 245SG301. The displayed image is displayed on the image display device 5 with priority over the images drawn on the second layer 245SG302 to the fourth layer 245SG304.

Next, a display mode of the image display device 5 during execution of variable display in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 8-37 to 8-41. First, as shown in FIG. 8-37(A) and FIG. 8-37(B), when execution of reel effect and non-execution of cut-in effect are determined at the start of variable display, the stick controller 31A The reel image 245SG005G is displayed in the lower center part of the image display device 5 by the player operating the stick controller 31A during the operation acceptance period. Since the reel image 245SG005G is displayed with priority over the decorative design and the hold display, part of the decorative design and the hold display is hidden by the reel image 245SG005G.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-37(C) to 8-37(H), as the variable display result in the reel image 245SG005G, “cherry”, “watermelon”, “7”, “super hot”, “ The symbols such as “chance” and “bell” are stopped and displayed, which suggests that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the variable display result are a big hit.

In addition, after the symbols such as “cherry”, “watermelon”, “7”, “super hot”, “chance”, and “bell” are stopped and displayed on the reel image 245SG005G, before the reach or the variable display is finished. The display of the reel image 245SG005G on the image display device 5 ends.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-38(A) and 8-38(B), if it is determined that the reel effect is not executed and the notice effect is executed at the start of the variable display, after the variable display is started. On the image display device 5, an image of the push button 31B (operation promotion image 245SG005H) for prompting the player to operate the push button 31B is displayed.

When the player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B elapses, the notice effect of the pattern YE-1 to the pattern YE-4 is displayed on the image display device 5. Run on either. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-38(C) to 8-38(F), when the advance notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-1, the image 245SG005s of the character A is displayed on the image display device 5. When the effect is displayed in blue and the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-2, the image 245SG005t of the character B is displayed in the image display device 5 together with the effect in red and the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-3. In this case, the image 245SG005u of the character C is displayed on the image display device 5 together with a golden effect, and when the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-4, the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C is displayed on the image display device 5. Displayed with color effects.

At this time, the player expects a big hit depending on which of the character images 245SG005s, 245SG005t, 245SG005u, 245SG005v the image displayed on the image display device 5 is, and the color of the effect displayed together with these character images. It is possible to recognize the degree.

As described above, when the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4 when the variable display is started, the notice effect is executed only in the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It is possible.

The operation promotion image 245SG005H, the image A 245SG005s of the character A, the image 245SG005t of the character B, the image 245SG005u of the character C, and the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C are displayed prior to the decorative design and the reserved display in the notice effect. Therefore, a part of the decorative pattern or the reserved display is hidden by the operation promotion image 245SG005H, the image A 245SG005s of the character A, the image 245SG005t of the character B, the image 245SG005u of the character C, and the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C.

On the other hand, the fourth symbol 245SG005F is displayed with priority over the operation promotion image 245SG005H, the image A 245SG005s of the character A, the image 245SG005t of the character B, the image 245SG005u of the character C, and the group image 245SG005v of the characters A to C in the notice effect. Therefore, part of the group image 245SG005v of the characters A to C whose display area overlaps with the fourth symbol 245SG005F is hidden by the fourth symbol 245SG005F (see FIG. 8-38(F)).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-39(A) and 8-39(B), when the reel effect execution and the notice effect execution are determined at the start of the variable display, the operation of the stick controller 31A is accepted. During the period, the player operates the stick controller 31A to display the reel image 245SG005G in the lower center part of the image display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39(C), the image of the push button 31B for urging the player to operate the push button 31B on the image display device 5 during the variable display in the reel image 245SG005G ( The operation prompt image 245SG005H) is displayed. As described above, the reel image 245SG005G and the operation promotion image 245SG005H are displayed on the image display device 5 with priority over the decorative design and the hold display.

When the player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or when the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B elapses, as shown in FIGS. 8-39(D) and 8-39(E). In addition, the notice effect is executed in any of the patterns YE-1 to YE-4 on the image display device 5 (in FIGS. 8-39(D) and 8-39(E), the notice effect is the pattern YE-4). The example is executed in.

The reel image 245SG005G is displayed prior to the advance notice effect (the image A of the character A 245SG005s, the image 245SG of the character B 245SG005t, the image 245SG005u of the character C, and the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C). In 8-39, the group image 245SG005v of the characters A to C is partially hidden by the reel image 245SG005G. Further, as described above, the fourth symbol 245SG005F is displayed on the image display device 5 in preference to the notice effect (the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C).

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39(F), when the CPU 103 detects an error such as an abnormal winning a prize or a magnetic error during execution of the reel effect or the cut-in effect, the error occurs in the image display device 5. The error notification image 245SG005J is displayed.

At this time, the error notification image 245SG005J is displayed on the image display device 5 with priority over the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) and the notice effect (collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C), so that the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G). ) And part of the notice effect (the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C) is hidden by the error notification image 245SG005J.

When the variable display is the variable display of super reach γ, after the decorative pattern is displayed in the combination of reach as shown in FIGS. 8-40(A) to 8-40(C), the super reach is displayed. A reach effect of γ (a battle effect in which a teammate character and an enemy character fight in this feature unit 245SG) is executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-40(D), at the cut-in effect execution start timing during the reach effect of the super reach γ, the image of the push button 31B (operation promotion image 245SG005H) is displayed on the image display device 5. Is started, and a promotion notification that prompts the player to operate the push button 31B is carried out. At this time, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or the player operates the push button 31B without operating the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. When the reception period elapses, the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the cut-in image corresponding to the effect pattern of the cut-in effect.

Specifically, when the effect pattern of the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-1, the cut-in image 245SG005w is displayed together with the blue effect on the image display device 5, and the cut-in effect is performed in the pattern CI-2. In this case, the cut-in image 245SG005x is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the red effect, and when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the cut-in image 245SG005y is displayed together with the gold effect on the image display device 5. When the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-4, the cut-in image 245SG005z is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the iridescent effect.

At this time, the player determines which cut-in image 245SG005w, 245SG005x, 245SG005y, 245SG005z the cut-in image displayed on the image display device 5 is, and the effect color displayed together with these cut-in images. It is possible to recognize the jackpot expectation.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-41(A) and 8-41(B), when the variable pattern of the variable display is PS2-4 (variation pattern of deviation from super reach γ), As the reach effect result (battle effect result), when the teammate character loses to the enemy character, it is notified that the variable display result is out of order, and the variable display ends. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-41(A) and 8-41(C), when the variable pattern of the variable display is PB1-4 (variation pattern of super reach γ big hit without executing rehabilitation effect) , As the reach effect result (battle effect result) of super reach γ, the ally character wins over the enemy character to notify that the variable display result is a big hit, and the variable display ends.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-41(A) and FIGS. 8-41(D) to 8-41(F), the variable pattern of the variable display is PB1-5 (super reach γ big hit to execute revival effect). Change pattern), the ally character loses to the enemy character as the reach effect result of the super reach γ (battle effect result), so that the variable display result is once notified. Then, the revival effect is executed, and as a reach effect result (battle effect result) of the super reach γ, the ally character reversely beats the enemy character and wins. Variable display ends.

Although not particularly shown, when the variable display is the variable display of the super reach δ, after the decorative pattern is displayed in the combination of the reach, the ally character and the enemy character are displayed in the same manner as the reach effect of the super reach γ. The battle production that fights is executed. If the cut-in effect is executed during the battle effect, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 so that the variable display result is always a big hit. The battle effect as the reach effect of the super reach δ may be the same aspect as the battle effect as the reach effect of the super reach γ, but it is partly different from the characters to be played and the development of the battle. May be.

As described above, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-25, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the cut-in effect is the pattern CI. While it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit by being executed in -3, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the cut-in effect is There is a case in which the variable display result is missed by being executed in the pattern CI-3. That is, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of alignment, it is determined that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. , When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether the variable display result is a big hit or a big hit, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. There is.

In addition, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-25, after the variable display result is once notified as a variation pattern capable of executing the cut-in effect during the reach effect, Super Reach γ jackpot variation pattern (Super Reach γ jackpot variation pattern for performing revival production, PB1-5) and super reach for not performing revival production The variation pattern of γ jackpot (PB1-4) is provided, and when the variable display is executed by the variation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, the variation of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect The ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is set to be lower than that in the case of executing the variable display in the pattern. Therefore, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach γ and it is informed that the variable display is out of alignment, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the player is set. Even if the player recognizes that the value is any of 4 to 6, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set to 4 to 6 by performing the revival effect and notifying that the variable display is a big hit. It is possible to reduce a decrease in the enjoyment of the game due to an error in recognizing one of the above.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, disadvantage setting values of 1 to 3 and advantageous setting values of 4 to 6 are set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Although the determination ratio of the effect pattern of the cut-in effect and the notice effect is different depending on whether the setting value is the disadvantageous setting value or the advantageous setting value, the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the disadvantageous set value includes 1 and the advantageous set value includes 6, the values may be set to any ranges 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, in the characteristic portion 245SG of the present embodiment, the form in which the suggestive effect in the present invention is described as the reach effect is illustrated, but the invention is not limited to this, and the suggestive effect in the present invention is variably displayed. As long as it is an effect that can be executed, an effect other than the reach effect, such as a pseudo continuous effect that repeatedly executes temporary stop and re-variable display of the decorative pattern, may be used.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-25(C) to FIG. 8-25(E), when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the variation of the super reach γ deviation When the variable display is executed in the pattern, the ratio in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 is the highest when the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, and the pachinko game is high. When the setting value set in the machine 1 is 4, the ratio in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to the lowest. Therefore, the higher the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more frequently the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, and the variable display result becomes out of alignment, and the higher set value for the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the player can be expected to be set, the interest in the game can be improved.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the embodiment, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ deviation. Exemplifies a mode in which the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is, the higher the ratio in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 is. It is not limited, but when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ deviation when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the pachinko gaming The ratio at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 may be the same ratio regardless of the setting value set in the machine 1. By doing so, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of the super-reach γ deviation, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. It may be difficult for the player to be identified.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6, which reach effect is to be executed and whether the revival effect is to be executed is determined in advance in association with each variation pattern, and as shown in FIG. As shown in (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the CPU 103 determines the change pattern using the big hit change pattern determination table of 1 regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of executing the revival effect during the variable display is the same regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For this reason, the execution ratio of the revival effect during the variable display follows the set value that determines the ratio at which the variable display result is a big hit. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, an example is shown in which which reach effect is to be executed and which revival effect is to be executed is predetermined in association with each variation pattern. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether the reach effect is executed or not and the revival effect is executed is determined by the effect control CPU 120 after the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern. It may be appropriately determined based on the display result and the like.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-6 and 8-26, as the variation patterns in the characteristic portion 245SG of the present embodiment, the variation patterns (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of super reach δ. When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach δ, the variable display result is always a big hit, so that the variation of the super reach effect increases and the super reach effect increases. Since the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the reach δ and the player can be paid attention to whether or not the variable display result is a big hit, the interest of the game can be improved.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, the variation pattern (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the variation pattern for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ may not be provided.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, as the effect that can be executed during the variable display, the notice effect that can be executed during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (or the end timing of the variable display) and the reach effect A cut-in effect that can be executed during the effect is provided. Further, the notice effect can be executed by any of a plurality of effect patterns (pattern YE-1 to pattern YE-4) having different jackpot expectation levels. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-30, when the variable display result is the big hit and the execution in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, which is the effect pattern in which the cut-in effect has a high expectation for the big hit, is determined. When executing the notice effect, since the effect pattern is determined from the effect patterns (the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2) excluding the pattern YE-3 and the pattern YE-4, which have high jackpot expectation, the notice effect is a pattern. It is possible to prevent the player from previously recognizing that the variable display result is a big hit by being executed by YE-3 or YE-4. For this reason, if the execution of the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-4 is decided, whether the variable display result is a big hit by executing the notice effect in the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It is possible to focus attention until the variable display of crab ends, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

Further, in the characteristic portion 245SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-27 and 8-28, during the variable display of 1, the notice effect is before the cut-in effect (from the start of the variable display. By making it possible to execute during the period until the reach), when the variable display result is a big hit, the player recognizes that the variable display result becomes a big hit from the timing before the cut-in effect is executed. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the entertainment of the game.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, the form in which the advance notice effect can be executed at a timing before the cut-in effect is illustrated during the variable display of 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the notice effect may be executed as the prefetch effect during the variable display executed before the variable display executing the cut-in effect. Furthermore, the notice effect is executed during the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the reach effect, so that the variable display result is obtained in the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the reach effect. It may be possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the game is a big hit, and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

As shown in FIGS. 8-25 and 8-26, when the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is always a big hit C when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-4. On the other hand, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the big hit type can be any of the big hit A, the big hit B, and the big hit C. Therefore, the cut-in effect is changed to the pattern CI-4 during the variable display. The player can be made to pay attention to whether or not it is executed. Furthermore, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, there is a possibility that the big hit type will be the big hit A or the big hit B. Therefore, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is obtained. In the case where the result is off, it is possible to make the player think that it may have been a big hit A or a big hit B even if it is a big hit. Can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-30, any one of 4 to 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (that is, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is When the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in the pattern CI-3, which is an effect pattern with a high jackpot expectation degree, when the notice effect is executed, the jackpot expectation degree is high. Since the effect pattern is determined from the effect patterns (the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2) excluding the pattern YE-3 and the pattern YE-4, the notice effect is executed by the patterns YE-3 and YE-4. It is possible to prevent the player from previously recognizing that the variable display result is a big hit. For this reason, even though the variable display result does not result in a big hit, the player responds to the fact that the variable display result becomes a big hit by executing the pattern CI-3 and the patterns YE-3 and YE-4 during the same variable display. It is possible to prevent the expectation of the item from being excessively increased.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, any one of 4 to 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3 which is an effect pattern with high jackpot expectation. As a form of restricting the execution of the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 of the notice effect when the execution of is decided, the execution ratio of the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 is set to 0% (the notice effect However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any one of 4 to 6 as a set value for the pachinko gaming machine 1 is not limited to this. If the cut-in effect is set to be executed in the pattern CI-3 that is the effect pattern with a high expectation for a big hit, the notice effect is lower than the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It may be possible to execute the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4. That is, in the present claim, "when the advantageous setting value is set, and when it is not determined by the determining means that the advantageous state is controlled, the suggestive effect is generated in a mode including the specific effect. In the case of being executed, the execution of the second predetermined effect is limited.” That is, the notice effect is not executed in the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4, and the notice effect is the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-1. A mode in which the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 is executed at a lower rate than that in the case of executing the YE-2 is also included.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-25, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variation pattern is a variation pattern (PA2-4) out of super reach γ. In this case, if the set values are the same, the ratio of the cut-in effect executed in the pattern CI-3 in the high-accuracy high-base state is high in the low-accuracy low base state and the low-accuracy high-base state. It is set higher than the ratio executed in pattern CI-3. Therefore, when the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, the cut-in effect is displayed in the variable display of the super reach γ deviation when the gaming state is the low-accuracy low-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state. Since the rate of execution in pattern CI-3 becomes high, it becomes easy for the player to recognize that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 in the highly accurate and high base state. After the player recognizes that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 by executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 in the high accurate high base state. Since the player can easily continue the game even after the game state shifts to the low accurate low base state, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be improved.

In the characteristic part 245SG of the present embodiment, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is made in the variation pattern (PA2-4) of the super reach γ deviation. When executed, if the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, if the set value is the same value, the cut-in is at a higher rate than if the gaming state is the low-accuracy low-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state. The form in which the effect can be executed by the pattern CI-3 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. And, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PA2-4) out of super reach γ, the cut-in effect can be executed in the pattern CI-3 while the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state. In the case where the gaming state is the low-probability low base state or the low-probability high base state, the cut-in effect may be disabled in the pattern CI-3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39, the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) is the notice effect (image 245SG005s of character A, image 245SG005t of character B, image 245SG005u of character C, collective image 245SG005v of characters A to C, and push). Since the reel effect is more easily visible to the player than the notice effect by being displayed with priority on the image display device 5 over the operation promotion image 245SG005H of the button 31B, the player stops as an effect result of the reel effect. The set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be easily guessed from the displayed symbol, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the characteristic part 245SG, the form in which the set value set to 1 in the pachinko gaming machine can be suggested by the symbol stopped and displayed as the effect result of the reel effect is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, it may be possible to suggest whether or not the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been changed from the last startup by the symbol stopped and displayed as a result of the reel effect. That is, the setting suggestion in the present invention means that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is suggested and that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed. Both are included.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG, an example is shown in which the execution period of the reel effect (setting suggestion effect) and the execution period of the notice effect overlap, but the present invention is not limited to this. The execution period of the reel effect and the execution period of the notice effect may be completely the same.

In addition, in the present characteristic part 245SG, the reel effect (setting suggestion effect) starts in a timing before the start timing of the notice effect during variable display and ends at a timing after the end timing of the notice effect. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and if at least a part of the feasible period of the reel effect and the feasible period of the notice effect overlap, for example, the reel effect is the notice effect. It may be started at a timing later than the start timing and before the end timing of the notice effect. Further, the reel effect may be started at a timing later than the start timing of the notice effect and may be ended at a timing later than the end timing of the notice effect. Further, the reel production may be started at a timing before the start timing of the advance production and ended at a timing after the end timing of the advance production. Further, the reel effect may be started at a timing before the start timing of the advance notice effect and ended at a timing before the end timing of the advance notice effect. The reel production may start at a timing before the notice production and end at a timing before the notice production.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG, a mode in which the execution period of the reel effect (setting suggestion effect) and the execution period of the notice effect overlap partially is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The reel production execution period and the notice production execution period do not have to overlap.

In addition, in the present characteristic part 245SG, the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) is given as a notice effect (the image 245SG005s of the character A, the image 245SG005t of the character B, the image 245SG005u of the character C, the collective image 245SG005v of the characters AC and the push button 31B). An example in which the visibility of the reel effect on the image display device 5 is made higher than the notice effect by drawing in a layer higher than the operation promotion image 245SG005H) has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. , For example, the reel effect is displayed as a relatively larger image than the notice effect, the contrast of the reel effect is made higher than the notice effect, the display time of the reel effect is made longer than the notice effect, and the operation speed of the reel effect is changed. The visibility of the reel effect on the image display device 5 may be made higher than that of the notice effect by, for example, delaying the notice effect.

Further, in the present characteristic part 245SG, the form in which the reel effect is executed by the operation of the stick controller 31A has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the stick controller is the same as other effects such as the reach effect. The effect may be performed according to the progress of the variable display regardless of whether or not the operation of 31A is performed. In this case, like the main characterizing unit 245SG, the stop of the symbols “cherry” and “watermelon” may be determined at a rate according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG, an example is shown in which, at the start of the variable display, whether the reel effect is executed or not and the effect result is determined when the stick controller 31A is operated in advance. The present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not the reel effect is executed and the effect result may be determined during the variable display based on the operation of the stick controller 31A during the variable display. By doing so, it is not necessary to decide whether or not to execute the reel effect and the effect result when the stick controller 31A is operated every time the variable display is started, so that the control load of the effect control CPU 120 is reduced. it can.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG, the form in which the reel effect can be executed in the period before the reach is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel effect is displayed in a variable display such as during the reach effect. In addition to the execution, the variable display such as a big hit game may be executed during a period in which the variable display is not executed. In addition, when it is possible to execute the reel effect in a period in which the variable display is not executed, the symbol to be stopped and displayed as the effect result of the reel effect is indicated by "cherry" which suggests the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. ”And “watermelon” and a “bell” that does not make any suggestion.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-39, the image display device 5 can display an error notification image 245SG005J and a fourth symbol 245SG005F as game progress information display corresponding to the progress of the game, and the error notification image 245SG005J and reel effect. When (reel image 245SG005G) is displayed at the same time, the error notification image 245SG005J is displayed with priority over the reel image 245SG005G, that is, the error notification image 245SG005J has higher visibility than the reel image 245SG005G. Since the error notification image 245SG005J is displayed, the visibility of the error notification image 245SG005J can be ensured, and it is possible to prevent five persons from generating an error due to the reel image 245SG005G hindering the display of the error notification image 245SG005J.

In the characteristic part 245SG, as the game progress information display, an example is shown in which the error notification image 245SG005J and the fourth symbol 245SG005F are displayed on the image display device 5, but the present invention is not limited to this. As the game progress information display, for example, a display of numbers other than the error notification image 245SG005J and the fourth symbol 245SG005F, such as a number-of-holds display that can specify the first special symbol holding storage number and the second special symbol holding storage number, is included. Good.

Further, the image display device 5 can execute variable display of decorative patterns in the respective “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, and FIGS. As shown in 37, when the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) is overlapped and displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5C in the image display device 5, the reel image 245SG005G is displayed prior to the decorative symbol. As a result, the reel image 245SG005G is displayed with higher visibility than the decorative design, so that the visibility of the reel image 245SG005G in the design display area 5C can be secured and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

In addition, the image display device 5 can display a hold display in the first hold storage display area 245SG005D and the second hold storage display area 245SG005U as an effect-related image related to an effect different from the reel effect or the notice effect. When the effect (reel image 245SG005G) is displayed overlapping with the first reserved storage display area 245SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 245SG005U, the reel image 245SG005G is displayed with priority over the reserved display. Since the visibility of the reel image 245SG005G in the first reserved storage display area 245SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 245SG005U can be secured, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the present feature portion 245SG, the pending display is illustrated as the effect-related image, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect-related image is, for example, a decoration that is constantly displayed on the image display device 5. It may include an image or the like for use.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-21, in the reel effect, since it is possible to stop and display the "7" symbol for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit as the effect result, the effect effect of the reel effect In addition to the symbols such as "cherry" and "watermelon" that indicate the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 being stopped and displayed, the game is also performed against the fact that the "7" symbol is stopped and displayed. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention, it is possible to increase the attention to the reel effect and improve the entertainment of the game.

In addition, in the reel production, as a production result, it is suggested that the “bell” symbol that does not suggest the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are high set values. The "watermelon" symbol and the "cherry" symbol that indicates that the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a high setting value at a higher rate than the "watermelon" symbol can be stopped and displayed. Therefore, the player can be made to pay attention to the kind of the symbol that is stopped and displayed as the result of the reel effect, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the variable display of the characteristic part 245SG, as shown in FIGS. 8-37 and 8-38, an operation promotion image 245SG005H that prompts the player to operate the push button 31B is displayed on the image display device 5. It is possible to execute the notice production and the reel production in which the operation promotion image for promoting the operation of the stick controller 31A to the player is not displayed. By displaying the stop, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be suggested. Therefore, the reel effect is not executed because the stick controller 31A is not operated by the player who is not interested in the suggestion of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, while the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is not executed. Since the reel effect is executed by the stick controller 31A being operated by the player who is interested in the suggestion, it is possible to execute the effect suitable for the player's preference.

Further, since the reel effect in the present characteristic part 245SG can be executed only once during the variable display, the player operates the stick controller 31A a plurality of times during the variable display of 1 so that the reel effect is performed a plurality of times. Is executed and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is prevented from being excessively recognized by the player.

In addition, in the characteristic part 245SG, a mode in which the reel effect can be executed only once during one variable display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of reel effects can be displayed during one variable display. It may be possible to execute the reel production. In addition, when it is possible to execute the reel effect a plurality of times during the variable display of 1, by setting the ratio at which the symbols of "cherry" and "watermelon" are stopped and displayed to be lower than that of the characteristic part 245SG, the pachinko game It may be possible to prevent the set value set in the machine 1 from being excessively recognized by the player.

Further, in the present characteristic part 245SG, reel effect is executed by the operation of the stick controller 31A, and advance notice effect is executed by the operation of the push button 31B. In other words, since the reel effect and the notice effect are executed upon the detection of the player's action by the different action detecting means, the effect that the player does not want to be performed is mistakenly performed among the reel effect and the notice effect. It is possible to surely avoid being played, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game. Furthermore, during the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A, the reel effect can be executed by operating the stick controller 31A at a timing desired by the player, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

In the characteristic part 245SG, the reel effect is executed by the operation of the stick controller 31A and the notice effect is executed by the operation of the push button 31B, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with operation detecting means other than the stick controller 31A such as a touch sensor and a motion sensor and the push button 31B, and the touch sensor and the motion sensor are used to move the player (to a specific portion of the pachinko gaming machine 1). The reel effect or the notice effect may be executed by detecting the proximity/contact of the player, the gesture of the player, or the like.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a ball hitting handle 30 operated as a game operation detecting means by a player or the like for shooting a game ball toward a game area by a hitting ball launching device, and the effect is produced. As the operation detecting means, a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B capable of detecting the operation of the player are provided. For the reel effect and the notice effect, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B which are effect operation detecting means are operated. Since this is an effect that is executed by the player, the player operates the hit ball operation handle 30 for advancing the game, and the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B for executing the reel effect and the notice effect. Can be distinguished.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-31(A), during the reel effect execution period including the operation acceptance period of the stick controller 31A, the reel effect can be executed even during the variable display of the shortened non-reach. It is set to 3 to 3.5 seconds, which is shorter than the shortened non-reach deviation figure variation time of 3.75 seconds. Therefore, the reel effect can be executed even when the player operates the stick controller 31A during the variable display of the shortened non-reach deviation, so that the execution rate of the reel effect is increased every time the variable display is executed. You can

In addition, in the characteristic part 245SG, the form in which the reel effect can be executed during the variable display of the shortened non-reach deviation is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel effect does not change the shortened non-reach deviation. It may be executable only during variable display except for. By doing so, since it is possible to execute the reel effect for a sufficient period that the player can recognize, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configurations are not limited to these, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. ..

For example, in the characteristic unit 245SG of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-25, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PB1-5) that executes the revival effect, the variation pattern that does not execute the revival effect. The form in which the cut-in effect can be executed by the pattern CI-3 at a lower rate than the case where the variable display is executed by (PA2-4 or PB1-4) is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, in the case where variable display is executed in a variation pattern (PB1-5) for executing a revival effect as shown in FIGS. 8-42(A) to 8-42(E) as a modified example 245SG-1. May make the cut-in effect unexecutable in pattern CI-3. By doing so, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and it is notified that the variable display result is out of alignment, any one of 4 to 6 as the set value is set 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 characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect, the variable display is performed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ big hit that does not execute the revival effect. Although the form in which the ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is set lower than that in the case of executing, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modification 245SG-2 shown in FIG. As shown in −43(A) to FIG. 8-43(D), when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect is displayed. The ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 may be set higher than in the case of executing the variable display in the changing pattern. By doing so, for example, the player attaches greater importance to whether or not the variable display result is a big hit than whether or not the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 to 6. In this case, after the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and it is informed 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 characteristic portion 245SG of the above-described embodiment, the variation pattern (PB1-5 of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect regardless of the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 being 1 to 6). ), when the variable display is executed, the form in which the cut-in effect can be executed by the pattern CI-3 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a modification 245SG-3 is shown. As shown in 8-44(A) to FIG. 8-44(C), when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the super reach γ big hit for executing the rehabilitation effect When the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PB1-5), the cut-in effect can be executed in the pattern CI-3, while the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are 1 to 3. In either case, the cut-in effect may be disabled in the pattern CI-3 when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PB1-5) of the super reach γ big hit that executes the revival effect. 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. It is confirmed that the set value being set is any one of 4 to 6, and the revival effect is executed after it is once informed that the variable display result is out of alignment during the reach effect of the super reach γ during the variable display. As a result, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not it is notified that the variable display result will be a big hit, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

That is, in the characteristic part 245SG, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach γ, the setting that is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 even if the variable display result is out of alignment. By determining that the value is any one of 4 to 6, it is possible to promote the player to continue the game. However, in the feature section 245SG-3, the reach effect of the super reach γ is being produced. When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the variable display result becomes a big hit, and by further determining that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the player It is possible to promote the continuation of the game.

Further, in the characteristic portion 245SG of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-30, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variation pattern of deviation of super reach γ When the variable display is executed in (PA2-4), if the execution in the pattern CI-1 or the pattern CI-2, which is the effect pattern for which the cut-in effect is low in big hit expectation, is determined, the cut-in effect is performed. Exemplifies a form in which the notice effect can be executed with the pattern YE-3 at a higher rate than when the execution with the pattern CI-3, which is an effect pattern with high jackpot expectation, is determined. The present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 245SG-4, as shown in FIGS. 8-45(A) to 8-45(C), the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are 4 to 6. And the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PA2-4) out of the super reach γ, the execution in the pattern CI-3, which is the effect pattern in which the cut-in effect is highly expected to be a big hit, is determined. If it is, the cut-in effect is the advance notice effect in the pattern YE-3 at a higher rate than in the case where the execution is determined in the pattern CI-1 or the pattern CI-2, which is the effect pattern with low jackpot expectation. It may be executable. By doing this, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach γ, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-1 or the pattern CI-2. Since it is possible to prevent the player from previously recognizing that the variable display result is out of place by executing the notice effect in the pattern YE-3 at a higher rate than the above, the variable display result is It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not it is a big hit, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-25(C) to 8-25(E), the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. And, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PA2-4) of super-reach γ deviation, if the game state is the high-accuracy high-base state, if the set value is the same value, the game state is low. The form in which the cut-in effect can be executed by the pattern CI-3 at a higher rate than in the case of the accurate low base state or the low accurate high base state has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this and a modification example. As shown in FIG. 8-46 as 245SG-5, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is made in the variation pattern (PA2-4) of the super-reach γ deviation. When the game state is low-probability low base state or low-probability high base state when the game is executed, if the setting value is the same value, it will be cut at a higher rate than if the game state is high-probability high base state. The in effect may be executable in the pattern CI-3.

By doing this, when the gaming state is a low-probability low base state or a low-probability high base state, during the reach production of Super Reach γ at a higher rate than when the gaming state is a high-probability high base state. Since the cut-in effect is easily executed in the pattern CI-3, for example, in the low accurate low base state, the variable display result does not become a big hit for a long period (for example, 1000 times of variable display). If the desire to continue playing the game is reduced, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, that is, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. Since the player is informed of that, the player's motivation to continue playing the game can be improved, so that the enjoyment of the game in the low certainty low base state or the low certainty high base state can be improved.

In the modified example 245SG-5, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PA2-4) of deviation of super reach γ. When the gaming state is low-probability low base state or low-probability high base state, if the set value is the same value, the cut-in effect is produced at a higher rate than when the gaming state is high-probability high base state. Although the pattern CI-3 exemplifies a form that can be executed, the present invention is not limited to this and is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as a modification 245SG-6 as shown in FIG. 8-47. When the set value is 4 to 6 and the variable display is executed in the variation pattern (PA2-4) of out-of-range reach γ, the gaming state is a low-probability low base state or a low-probability high base state. If it is, the cut-in effect can be executed by the pattern CI-3, while if the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, the cut-in effect may not be executed by the pattern CI-3. By doing this, the cut-in effect can be executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach γ only when the game state is the low-accuracy low base state or the low-accuracy high base state, so it is highly accurate. It is possible to draw the player's attention to the low confirmed base state and the low certainty high base state where the variable display result is less likely to be a big hit than the high base state. Can be improved.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, the form in which the cut-in effect can be executed during the reach effect of the super reach γ or the super reach δ is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-48(A) and 8-48(B) as a modified example 245SG-7, during the reach effect of super reach γ or super reach δ, instead of the cut-in effect, a pachinko game is performed. A set value suggesting effect that suggests the set value set in the machine 1 may be executable. In addition, when the set value suggesting effect can be executed during the reach effect of the super reach γ or the super reach δ in this way, a period (for example, a period before the executable period of the set value suggesting effect (during the reach effect)) , The period from the start of the variable display to the time of reaching), the advance notice effect may be executed, and the execution ratio of the set value suggestion effect may be different according to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect.

Specifically, when the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4, the set value is set at a higher rate than when the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It suffices if the suggestive effect can be executed. By doing so, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which effect pattern the notice effect is executed, and when the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4. Since the player can be focused on whether the set value suggesting effect is executed during the reach effect, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the set value suggesting effect.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-39, the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) and the notice effect (image A of the character 245SG005s, character B of the image 245SG005t, character C are displayed during variable display. When both the image 245SG005u of No. 245SG and the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C are executed, the reel display is displayed on the image display device 5 with priority over the notice display, but the present invention is not limited to this. Without being limited to this, as shown in FIGS. 8-49(A) to 8-49(E) as a modified example 245SG-8, for example, both the reel effect and the notice effect are displayed during the variable display. When executed, the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) is displayed in the lower right part of the image display device 5, and the notice effect (image A of the character A 245SG005s, image of the character B 245SG005t, image of the character C 245SG005u, characters A to) is displayed. The group image C 245SG005v of C may be displayed on the upper portion of the image display device 5 so as not to overlap with the reel effect, that is, the reel effect and the notice effect may be displayed in different display areas of the image display device 5.

By doing so, the visibility of both the reel effect image and the notice effect image is secured, and it is possible to prevent the effect effect of either the reel effect or the notice effect from being reduced.

In the present modification example 245SG-8, by displaying the reel effect and the notice effect in different display areas of the image display device 5, it is possible to reduce the effect of one of the reel effect and the notice effect. Although the form to prevent is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with an image display means different from the image display device 5, and both the reel effect and the notice effect are displayed during the variable display. Is executed, the visibility of the reel effect image and the notice effect is ensured by displaying the reel effect on one side of the image display device 5 and the image display means and displaying the notice effect on the other side. It may be possible to prevent the effect of one of the reel effect and the notice effect from being lowered.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the embodiment, the reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) and the notice effect (image 245SG005s of the character A, image 245SG005t of the character B, image 245SG005u of the character C, and characters A to C are displayed during the variable display. When both the collective image 245SG005v) are executed, the reel effect is prioritized over the notice effect regardless of the effect pattern of the notice effect (the image displayed on the image display device 5 as the notice effect). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when both the reel effect and the notice effect are executed during the variable display, the image display device 5 uses the notice effect as the notice effect. Depending on the image displayed, whether or not the reel effect is displayed on the image display device 5 may be prioritized over the notice effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-50(A) to 8-50(E) as a modified example 245SG-9, an image of the character A having a low jackpot expectation as a reel effect and a notice effect during variable display. When it is determined to display 245SG005s (pattern YE-1), the reel effect is displayed on the image display device 5 with priority over the notice effect, and the reel effect and the notice effect are displayed during the variable display. If it is determined to display the group image 245SG005v of the characters A to C with high jackpot expectation (pattern YE-4) as a modification 245SG-8, as shown in FIG. The display areas of the reel effect and the notice effect in the device 5 are made different.

By doing so, the visibility of the reel effect can be ensured, and an image with a high expectation for a big hit (for example, the collective image 245SG005v of the characters A to C) is displayed on the image display device 5 as the notice effect. In this case, the visibility of the notice effect can be secured in addition to the reel effect, so the player should pay attention to the fact that the stop symbol displayed as the reel effect and the variable display result are a big hit. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

In addition, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, when performing the reel effect, it is possible to notify that the variable display result is a big hit by stopping and displaying the "7" symbol as the effect result of the reel effect. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of symbols capable of notifying that the variable display result is a big hit may be provided as the effect result of the reel effect.

In such a case, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-51(A) to 8-51(D) as the modified example 245SG-10, the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a big hit A (indeterminate change). In the case of a big hit), while the white “7” symbol can be stopped and displayed as a result of the reel effect, the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit types are a big hit B and a big hit C (probable variation big hit). In this case, the black "7" symbol may be stopped and displayed as the effect of the reel effect. By doing so, when the "7" symbol for notifying that the variable display result will be a big hit as the effect result of the reel effect is stopped and displayed, the game mode is changed to the display mode of the "7" symbol that is stopped and displayed. Since the player can be paid attention, the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, the form in which the image of the character is displayed on the image display device 5 is shown as the notice effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the notice effect is: A plurality of characters may cross the display area of the image display device 5, and an effect different from the characteristic part 245SG such as a group effect may be executable. In particular, when the group effect can be executed as the notice effect, as shown in FIGS. 8-52(A) to 8-52(C) as the modification 245SG-11, the display of the image display device 5 is performed as the group effect. The reel effect (reel image 245SG005G) may be displayed so as to be superimposed on a character that crosses the area to the left. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the reel effect from being deteriorated by the character crossing the display area of the image display device 5 to the left.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, the reel effect is executed by the operation of the stick controller 31A and the notice effect is executed by the operation of the push button 31B, that is, the reel effect and the notice effect which are different from each other are detected. Although the form executed by the detection of the movement of the player by the means has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel effect and the notice effect are the same operation detecting means by the player. The detection may be executed upon the detection of the above operation. Incidentally, when the reel effect and the notice effect are executed in response to the detection of the player's motion by the same motion detecting means, as shown in the characteristic part 245SG, in the variable display of 1 As shown in FIG. 8-53 as a modified example 245SG-12, the effect executable period of the reel effect and the effect executable period of the notice effect do not partially overlap (see FIGS. 8-31 to 8-34). In the variable display of 1, the effect executable period of the reel effect and the effect executable period of the notice effect may not overlap at all. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, which is one of the reel effect and the notice effect, which is not desired by the player.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the start timing of the reel effect is different from the start timing of the notice effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, the reel effect is executed. By setting the operation reception period of the stick controller 31A and the operation reception period of the push button 31B for executing the notice effect to be the same period, the reel effect and the notice effect may be executed at the same timing.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, an example in which the effect control CPU 120 can determine whether or not to execute reel effect at the start of variable display has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. The ratio at which the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the reel effect at the start of the variable display may be changeable by an operation by the player. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-54(A) and 8-54(B) as a modification 245SG-13, a state in which a game is not executed (variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols is executed). If the player does not have the hold memory and the game state is not the big hit game state or the small hit game state), the player operates the push button 31B to display the effect mode change screen on the image display device 5. It suffices that the effect mode can be selected (changed) from the first effect mode and the second effect mode by the player's operation of the stick controller 31A while the effect mode change screen is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-54(C), when the first effect mode is selected, the reel effect is executed at the start of the variable display at a higher rate than when the second effect mode is selected. Can be determined.

In the modification 245SG-13, a first effect mode and a second effect mode in which the reel effect execution ratios are different are provided, and the player can select the first effect mode and the second effect mode (effect mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a third effect mode in which the reel effect is not executed is further provided, and the player can perform the first effect mode to the third effect. The mode may be selectable.

Further, in the present modification 245SG-13, a mode in which the player can change the effect mode has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the operation is performed by opening the game machine frame 245SG003. By providing a production mode change switch for changing the production mode at a position where it is possible, even if the employee of the amusement hall can change the production mode, the player cannot change the production mode. Good. Furthermore, whether or not the player can change the effect mode and the effect mode that can be changed by the player may be set by the operation of an employee of the game hall or the like.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which any cut-in image can be displayed on the image display device 5 as a cut-in effect during execution of the reach effect of the super reach γ has been exemplified. The present invention is not limited to this, and one of the cut-in images (for example, in the display area different from the reel effect (245SG005G) in the image display device 5 such as the notice effect shown in the modification 245SG-8 described above. , Cut-in image 245SG005y) may be displayed.

Further, in this way, when it is possible to display any of the cut-in images in the display area different from the reel effect (245SG005G) in the image display device 5, as a modified example 245SG-14, FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 8-55(D), a plurality of cut-in images suggesting a set value as the cut-in effect (for example, the cut-in image 245SG005y of the pattern CI-3 and the cut-in image of the new pattern CI-5 are shown. 245SG005r) may be displayed, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be suggested depending on which cut-in image is displayed on the image display device 5.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8-55(E), when any one of the setting values 1 to 3 is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the pattern CI-3 (cut-in image) is set as the cut-in effect. 245SG005y) is determined at a higher rate than pattern CI-5 (display of cut-in image 245SG005r), and if any of 4 to 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the cut is performed. The pattern CI-5 (display of the cut-in image 245SG005r) may be determined as an in-effect at a higher ratio than the pattern CI-3 (display of the cut-in image 245SG005y).

In the characteristic part 245SG, the cut-in effect can be executed only during the reach effect of the super reach γ, so the ratio (execution frequency) at which the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-5 is executed as the cut-in effect. Can be made different from the proportion at which the symbols of "cherry" and "watermelon" are stopped and displayed as a result of the reel effect. In this way, the ratio in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-5 is different from the ratio in which the symbols “cherry” or “watermelon” are stopped and displayed as the effect result of the reel effect. The player can easily guess the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the cut-in effect and the reel effect, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

In the present modification example 245SG-14, the ratio in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-5 and the ratio in which the symbols “cherry” or “watermelon” are stopped and displayed as the effect result of the reel effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the set value "6" is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3 or the pattern. The ratio executed in CI-5 may be different from the ratio in which the symbols "cherry" and "watermelon" are stopped and displayed as the effect of the reel effect.

By doing so, it becomes easier for the player to guess the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 based on the cut-in effect and the reel effect, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

Further, in the characteristic part 245SG of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the present invention is applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to slot machines and other games. May be applied to the machine.

Further, although the present specification discloses a plurality of characteristic parts and modified examples, the gaming machine of the present invention is implemented by combining two or more characteristic parts and modified examples from these plural characteristic parts and modified examples. You may.
