In addition, there is a second hold icon display area for displaying the second hold icon HB (effect hold image) according to the number of stored second special figure holds, which will be described later. By displaying the second hold icon HB, it is possible to clearly indicate to the player the number of stored second special figure holds displayed by the second special figure hold indicator 83b (see FIG. 6), which will be described later.

A center frame 61 (inner side wall portion) is arranged near the center of the game area 6 and in front of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. At the lower part of the center frame 61, a stage portion 61s that can guide a game ball that rolls on the upper surface to the first starting port 11 described later is formed. Further, a warp portion 61w is provided on the left portion of the center frame 61 to allow the game ball to flow in from the entrance and to flow out the game ball from the exit to the stage portion 61s. Further, a first board movable body 55k that can move up and down is provided on the upper part of the center frame 61. The first panel movable body 55k can be moved from the origin position above the display screen 50a to the effect position overlapping the center of the display screen 50a in the front-rear direction.

A first start winning device 11D provided with a first starting port 11 (ball entry port) below the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the game area 6 and in the center in the left-right direction so that the ease of entering the game ball does not always change. Is provided. The first starting port 11 is also referred to as a first ball entry port, a fixed ball entry port, a first starting winning opening, and a first starting area. Further, the first start winning device 11D is also referred to as a first ball winning means, a fixed ball winning means, and a first starting winning device. The winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 is an opportunity for the first special symbol lottery (big hit lottery, that is, acquisition and determination of a big hit random number or the like).

Further, a large winning device 14D provided with a large winning opening 14 (special winning opening) is provided in the upper right of the first starting opening 11 in the game area 6. The large winning device 14D is also referred to as an attacker (AT), a special winning means, or a special variable winning device. The grand prize device 14D includes an AT opening / closing member 14k that takes an open state and a closed state, and opens / closes the grand prize opening 14 by operating the AT opening / closing member 14k. The AT opening / closing member 14k is driven by the large winning opening solenoid 14s (see FIG. 15). The large winning opening 14 allows a game ball to enter only when the AT opening / closing member 14k is in the open state. The big winning opening 14 is opened during the execution of the big hit game described later.

Further, in the upper right of the large winning device 14D in the game area 6, a second starting winning device (ordinary electric accessory, so-called electric chew) 12D provided with a second starting opening 12 capable of changing the ease of entering the game ball. Is provided. The second starting port 12 is also referred to as a variable ball entry port. The electric chew 12D is also referred to as a variable ball entry means. The winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12 (entry entrance)) is an opportunity for the second special symbol lottery (big hit lottery, that is, acquisition and determination of a big hit random number or the like). The electric chew 12D includes an electric chew opening / closing member 12k (opening / closing member) that can move (advance / retreat) in the front-rear direction and takes an open state and a closed state, and the second starting port 12 is operated by the operation of the electric chew opening / closing member 12k. It opens and closes.

The electric chew opening / closing member 12k (opening / closing member) is driven by the electric chew solenoid 12s described later. When the electric chew opening / closing member 12k is in the open state, it is retracted to the rear side so that the game ball can enter the second starting port 12. On the other hand, when the electric chew opening / closing member 12k is in the closed state, it is advanced to the front side, and it becomes impossible for the game ball to enter the second starting port 12. In this way, the second starting port 12 is a starting port in which the ease of entering the game ball can be changed. If the electric chew makes it easier to enter the ball into the second starting port when the electric chew opening / closing member is in the open state than when it is in the closed state, the electric chew is the first when it is in the closed state. 2 It does not have to be impossible to enter the ball into the starting port. Further, the electric chew is not limited to one having an opening / closing member that can move (advance / retreat) in the front-rear direction, and may have a rotatable opening / closing member or an opening / closing member that can move in the left-right direction.

Further, a gate 13 through which the game ball can pass is provided above the electric chew 12D in the game area 6. The gate 13 is also referred to as a passage port or a passage area. The passage of the game ball to the gate 13 is an opportunity to execute a normal symbol lottery (that is, acquisition and determination of a normal symbol random number (winning random number)) for determining whether or not to open the electric chew 12D. Further, a plurality of general winning openings 10 are provided in the lower part of the game area 6. Further, at the lowermost portion of the game area 6, an out port 19 is provided to discharge a game ball that has been driven into the game area 6 but has not won any of the winning openings to the outside of the game area 6.

In the game area 6 where various winning openings and the like are arranged, the left game area 6L (first game area) on the left side of the center in the left-right direction and the right game area 6R (second game area) on the right side are arranged. There is. A method of launching a game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area 6L is called left-handed hitting. On the other hand, a method of firing a game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area 6R is called right-handed hitting. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the flow path through which the game ball flows down when playing left-handed is called the first flow path R1, and the flow path through which the game ball flows down when playing right-handed is called the first flow path R1. , The second flow path R2.

A first starting port 11, a general winning port 10, and an out port 19 are arranged on the first flow path R1. By hitting the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1, the player can aim to win a prize in the first starting opening 11 or the general winning opening 10. The gate 13 is not arranged on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the electric chew 12D is not released when hitting left.

On the other hand, on the second flow path R2, a gate 13, a second starting port 12 (electric chew 12D), a large winning opening 14 (large winning device 14D), a general winning opening 10, and an out opening 19 are located. It is arranged. By hitting the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2, the player can aim to pass through the gate 13 and win a prize in the second starting port 12, the large winning opening 14, and the general winning opening 10. it can.

Subsequently, the flow of the game ball that has entered the large winning opening 14 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a specific region (V region) 16 and a non-specific region 17 through which a game ball passing through the grand prize opening 14 can pass are formed inside the grand prize device 14D. ing. In the large winning device 14D, a large winning opening sensor 14a for detecting the winning of a game ball into the large winning opening 14 is arranged upstream of the specific area 16 and the non-specific area 17. Further, in the specific area 16, a specific area sensor 16a for detecting the passage of the game ball into the specific area 16 is arranged. Further, in the non-specific area 17, a non-specific area sensor 17a for detecting the passage of a game ball through the non-specific area 17 is arranged. The large prize device 14D includes a distribution member 16k that distributes the game ball that has passed through the large prize opening 14 to either the specific area 16 or the non-specific area 17, and the distribution solenoid 16s that drives the distribution member 16k (FIG. 5 (FIG. 5). A) and (B) are provided with (not shown)).

FIG. 5A shows when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is in the first state (passage allowable state) that allows the game ball to pass through the specific region 16. When the distribution member 16k is in the first state, the game ball that has won the large winning opening 14 passes through the specific area 16 after passing through the large winning opening sensor 14a. The route of this game ball is called the first route.

FIG. 5B shows the distribution solenoid 16s when the distribution solenoid 16s is not energized. As shown in FIG. 5 (B), when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, it is in a second state (passage blocking state) that prevents the game ball from passing through the specific region 16 of the distribution member 16k. When the distribution member 16k is in the second state, the game ball that has won the large winning opening 14 passes through the non-specific region 17 after passing through the large winning opening sensor 14a. The route of this game ball is called the second route.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the passage of the gaming ball into the specific area 16 triggers the transition to the high probability state described later. That is, the specific area 16 is a probability variation operation port. On the other hand, the non-specific area 17 is not a probabilistic operation port.

Returning to the description of the game board 1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, indicators 8 are arranged at the lower right of the game board 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the indicators 8 include a first special symbol display 81a that variably displays the first special symbol, a second special symbol display 81b that variably displays the second special symbol, and a normal symbol. A general map display 82 for variably displaying the above is included. The first special symbol is also referred to as the first special symbol or special diagram 1, the second special symbol is also referred to as the second special symbol or special diagram 2, and the first special symbol and the second special symbol are collectively referred to as "special symbol (special symbol (). Identification pattern) ”. In addition, a normal pattern is also called a normal pattern.

Further, in the display 8, the operation hold of the first special figure hold indicator 83a and the second special figure display 81b for displaying the number of stored operation hold of the first special figure display 81a (first special figure hold) is displayed. Includes a second special figure hold indicator 83b that displays the number of stored items (second special figure hold), and a normal figure hold indicator 84 that displays the number of stored operation hold (normal figure hold) of the normal figure display 82. It has been.

The variable display of the first special symbol is performed when the game ball is won in the first starting port 11. The variable display of the second special symbol is performed when the game ball is won in the second starting port 12. In the following description, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol (special symbol). Further, the first special figure display 81a and the second special figure display 81b may be collectively referred to as a special figure display 81. Further, the first special figure hold indicator 83a and the second special figure hold indicator 83b may be collectively referred to as a special figure hold indicator 83. In addition, the first special figure hold and the second special figure hold may be collectively referred to as a special figure hold.

In the special symbol display 81, the special symbol is variably displayed (variable display) and then stopped, so that a lottery based on winning a prize in the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 (special symbol lottery, jackpot lottery) can be performed. Notify the result. The stop-displayed special symbol (stop symbol, special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one special symbol selected from a plurality of types of special symbols by a special symbol lottery. When the stop symbol is a predetermined jackpot symbol (special symbol of a specific stop mode), the jackpot 14 has an open pattern according to the type of jackpot symbol displayed as stopped (that is, the type of jackpot won). A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed. The opening pattern of the big winning opening 14 in the big hit game will be described later.

Specifically, the special figure display 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and a special symbol (identification symbol) according to the result of the jackpot lottery is displayed depending on the lighting mode. It is to be displayed. For example, if you win a jackpot (one of the multiple types of jackpots described below), you will see "○○ ●● ○○ ●●" (○: lit, ●: off) from the left 1, 2, The jackpot symbol with the 5th and 6th LEDs lit is displayed. If there is a loss, a lost pattern such as "●●●●●●● ○" is displayed, in which only the LED on the far right is lit. A mode in which all the LEDs are turned off may be adopted as a lost symbol. The lost symbol is not a specific special symbol. Further, before the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation display of the special symbol is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time, and in the mode of the fluctuation display, for example, each LED is lit so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. This is the aspect. The variable display mode may be any mode such that all the LEDs blink at the same time unless each LED is a stop display (lighting display in a specific mode).

In this pachinko gaming machine PY1, when a game ball is won (winning) in the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, the values of various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers acquired for the winning (numerical information). , Judgment information) is temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later. Specifically, if a prize is won in the first starting port 11, it is stored in the first special figure holding storage unit 105a described later as a first special figure hold, and if a prize is won in the second starting port 12, a second special figure is held. As a figure hold, it is stored in the second special figure hold storage unit 105b described later. There is an upper limit to the number of special figure reservations that can be stored in each special figure reservation storage unit 105, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is "4".

The special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit 105 is digested when the special symbol can be variably displayed based on the special figure hold. The digestion of the special figure hold means that the jackpot random number or the like corresponding to the special figure hold is determined, and the variable display of the special symbol for showing the determination result is executed. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 cannot be performed immediately after the winning, that is, during the execution of the jackpot game. Even if there is a prize, the right to the jackpot lottery for the prize can be reserved up to a predetermined number.

The number of special figure reservations is displayed on the special figure reservation indicator 83. Specifically, each of the special figure hold indicators 83 is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and the number of special figure hold is displayed by turning on the LEDs as many as the number of special figure hold.

The variable display of the normal symbol is performed when the game ball passes through the gate 13. The normal symbol display 82 notifies the result of the normal symbol lottery based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 by displaying the normal symbol in a variable manner (variable display) and then stopping the display. The normal symbol that is stopped and displayed (normal symbol, normal symbol that is derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one ordinary symbol selected from a plurality of types of ordinary symbols by the ordinary symbol lottery. When the stop-displayed normal symbol is a predetermined specific normal symbol (ordinary symbol in a predetermined stop mode, that is, a normal hit symbol), the second start port 12 is opened with an opening pattern according to the current gaming state. Auxiliary games are played. The opening pattern of the second starting port 12 will be described later.

Specifically, the normal symbol display 82 is composed of, for example, two LEDs (see FIG. 6), and displays a normal symbol according to the result of a normal symbol lottery depending on the lighting mode thereof. For example, when the lottery result is a win, a normal hit symbol in which both LEDs are lit is displayed, such as "○○" (○: on, ●: off). If the lottery result is lost, a normal lost symbol such as "● ○" in which only the right LED is lit is displayed. A mode in which all the LEDs are turned off may be adopted as a normal loss pattern. Note that the normal loss symbol is not a specific normal symbol. Before the normal symbol is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time, and the mode of the fluctuation display is, for example, that both LEDs are turned on alternately. The variable display mode may be any mode such that all the LEDs blink at the same time unless each LED is a stop display (lighting display in a specific mode).

In this pachinko gaming machine PY1, when a game ball passes through the gate 13, the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) acquired for the passage is stored in the normal symbol hold storage unit 106 described later as a normal figure hold. It will be memorized once. There is an upper limit to the number of normal figure reservations that can be stored in the normal figure hold storage unit 106, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is "4".

The normal figure hold stored in the normal figure hold storage unit 106 is digested when the variable display of the normal symbol based on the normal figure hold becomes possible. The digestion of the normal symbol hold means to determine the normal symbol random number (hit random number) corresponding to the normal symbol hold and execute the variable display of the normal symbol to show the determination result. Therefore, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, if the variable display of the normal symbol based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 cannot be performed immediately after the passage, that is, the prize is won during the execution of the variable display of the normal symbol or the execution of the auxiliary game. Even if there is, it is possible to reserve the right of ordinary symbol lottery for the passage up to a predetermined number.

Then, the number of such a normal figure hold is displayed on the normal figure hold indicator 84. Specifically, the normal figure hold indicator 84 is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal figure hold by turning on the LEDs as many as the number of the normal figure hold.

Here, FIG. 7 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the game board 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is characterized in that the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 stands in the vertical direction in front of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 and the rear liquid crystal display device 50 are separated in the front-rear direction and are arranged in parallel.

In the rear liquid crystal display device 50, as in the liquid crystal display device of the conventional pachinko gaming machine, a variable effect accompanied by a variable display and a stop display of the effect symbol EZ is executed, and a customer waiting effect is executed. .. On the other hand, in the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, nothing is basically displayed, and the rear side of the transmissive liquid crystal display device can be visually recognized. Therefore, the player is made not aware of the existence of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 as much as possible, and is made to pay attention to the effect on the rear liquid crystal display device 50 located behind the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. However, the effect image is appropriately displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 according to the effect (effect image or the like) executed by the rear liquid crystal display device 50. As a result, it is possible to provide the player with a novel way of showing the production image, which has never existed before, by showing the production on the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and showing a new production image in front of the production. It is possible.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the front-rear direction, the first panel movable body 55k and the second panel movable body 56k are arranged between the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 and the rear liquid crystal display device 50. The first board movable body 55k is located between the origin position (see FIG. 7) arranged on the upper side of the game board 1 and the effect position (not shown) overlapping the central portion of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the front-rear direction. It is movable. On the other hand, the second board movable body 56k (second movable body) overlaps the standby position (see FIG. 7) arranged on the lower side of the game board 1 and the lower part of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the front-rear direction. It is movable to and from the operating position (see FIG. 14 (A)).

Therefore, the transmissive liquid crystal display device is in a state where the first panel movable body 55k is moved from the origin position (see FIG. 4) to the effect position (not shown) that overlaps the central portion of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the front-rear direction. If the effect image is displayed on the display screen 7a of 7, the effect image displayed on the display screen 7a can be superimposed on the front side of the first board movable body 55k. Further, in a state where the second panel movable body 56k is moved from the standby position (see FIG. 7) to the operating position (see FIG. 14A) that overlaps the lower portion of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the front-rear direction. If the effect image is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, the effect image displayed on the display screen 7a can be superimposed on the front side of the second panel movable body 56k. As a result, it is possible to decorate the first board movable body 55k or the second board movable body 56k with the effect image, and it is possible to show the first board movable body 55k or the second board movable body 56k having different impressions. is there.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the lower decorative member 61x is arranged below the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 and immediately behind the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. That is, in the front-rear direction, the lower decorative member 61x (see FIG. 4) is arranged between the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 and the rear liquid crystal display device 50. Therefore, when the effect image is displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, the effect image does not appear to overlap the front side of the lower decorative member 61x (see FIG. 10A). On the other hand, when the effect image is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, the effect image may appear to overlap the front side of the lower decorative member 61x (FIG. 10B). reference). As a result, it is possible to give a surprise to the player who thinks that the effect image does not overlap the lower decorative member 61x.

As shown in FIG. 8, the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is larger than the rear liquid crystal display device 50. Specifically, the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is 19 inches, whereas the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is 17 inches. Then, when viewed from the player side (when the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is viewed facing the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7), the frame edge (upper edge, lower edge, left) of the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. The edges, right edges) and four corners are arranged outside the frame edges (upper edge, lower edge, left edge, right edge) and four corners of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 (FIG. 10 (A)). ) (B). That is, the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 has an outer display area 7x outside the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50.

Therefore, for example, when the player is conscious of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, the effect image is displayed including the outer display area 7x of the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 (FIG. 10). See (B)). As a result, for the player, the effect image appears to protrude outside the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with a novel game entertainment by showing the production image at an unexpected position.

Next, the structure of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 will be described with reference to FIG. The transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is a display device capable of switching between a state in which the rear side of the display screen 7a can be visually recognized and a state in which the rear side of the display screen 7a cannot be visually recognized or is difficult to see. As shown in FIG. 9, the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 mainly includes a frame frame 700, an upper structure portion 710, a lower structure portion 720, a left side structure part 730, a right side structure part 740, and a light guide plate 750. A liquid crystal panel 760, a transparent film 770, and a protective panel 780 are provided.

The frame frame 700 constitutes the outer shell of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, has an upper surface portion 701 on the upper side, a lower surface portion 702 on the lower side, a left surface portion 703 on the left side, and a right side portion on the right side.

The upper surface portion 701 and the lower surface portion 702 have a vertically symmetrical shape, and each has a rectangular shape. The left surface portion 703 and the right surface portion 704 have symmetrical shapes, and each has a rectangular shape. The front portion 705 has a rectangular frame shape, and the liquid crystal panel 760 faces forward at the central opening.

The upper structure portion 710 is assembled to the inside (lower surface side) of the upper surface portion 701 of the frame frame 700. As shown in FIG. 9, the upper structure portion 710 includes an upper control board 711, an upper heat sink 712, and an upper assembly cover 713. By placing the upper heat sink 712 above the upper control board 711 and assembling the upper assembly cover 713 from below to the upper control board 711 and the upper heat sink 712, the upper control board 711 and the upper heat sink 712 are assembled. The upper assembly cover 713 is integrated.

The upper control board 711 controls the image on the liquid crystal panel 760 and also controls the light emission of each LED. The upper control board 711 has a large number of upper display LEDs 714 mounted on the edge portion on the front end side along the left-right direction. Each upper display LED 714 irradiates the light for display downward toward the upper surface of the peripheral surface of the light guide plate 750. Therefore, the upper control board 711 switches between a state in which the light for display by the upper display LED 714 is supplied to the upper surface of the light guide plate 750 and a state in which the light is not supplied by controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the upper display LED 714. Is possible.

Further, the upper control board 711 mounts a large number of upper accessory lights 715 in the left-right direction behind the upper display LED 714. The upper accessory light 715 irradiates the light for illumination downward. Therefore, the upper control board 711 controls the lighting and extinguishing of the upper accessory light 715 to illuminate the first panel movable body 55k, the second panel movable body 56k, etc. with the light for illumination by the upper accessory light 715. It is possible to switch between an illuminated state and a non-illuminated state.

The upper heat sink 712 is for dissipating heat generated by lighting the upper display LED 714 or the upper accessory light 715, and is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The heat generated by lighting the upper display LED 714 or the upper accessory light 715 is transferred to the upper heat sink 712 and the upper surface portion 701 of the frame frame 700, and is cooled by the air above the upper surface portion 701.

The lower structural portion 720 is assembled to the inside (upper surface side) of the lower surface portion 702 of the frame frame 700. As shown in FIG. 9, the lower structural portion 720 includes a lower control board 721, a lower heat sink 722, and a lower assembly cover 723. A large number of lower display LEDs 724 and a large number of lower accessory lights 725 are mounted on the lower control board 721 along the left-right direction. Since the structures of the lower structure portion 720 and the upper structure portion 710 are vertically symmetrical and similar, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The left structural portion 730 is assembled to the inside (right surface side) of the left surface portion 703 of the frame frame 700. As shown in FIG. 9, the left side structure portion 730 includes a left side control board 731, a left side heat sink 732, and a left side assembly cover 733. By mounting the left heat sink 732 on the left side of the left control board 731 and assembling the left side assembly cover 733 from the right side to the left side control board 731 and the left heat sink 732, the left side control board 731 and the left heat sink The 732 and the left side assembly cover 733 are integrated.

The left side control board 731 has a large number of left side display LEDs 734 mounted on the edge portion on the front end side along the vertical direction. Each left side display LED 734 irradiates the display light to the right toward the left side of the peripheral surface of the light guide plate 750. Therefore, the left side control board 731 switches between a state in which the light for display by the left side display LED 734 is supplied to the left surface of the light guide plate 750 and a state in which the light is not supplied by controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the left side display LED 734. Is possible.

Further, the left side control board 731 mounts a large number of left side accessory lights 735 in the vertical direction behind the left side display LED 734. The left side accessory light 735 irradiates the lighting light toward the right side. Therefore, the left side control board 731 controls the lighting and extinguishing of the left side accessory light 735, so that the first board movable body 55k, the second board movable body 56k, etc. are illuminated by the left side accessory light 735. It is possible to switch between an illuminated state and a non-illuminated state.

The left heat sink 732 is for dissipating heat generated by lighting the left display LED 734 or the left accessory light 735, and is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The left heat sink 732 is formed with a plurality of fins (not shown) extending to the left in order to improve cooling performance. The heat generated by lighting the left side display LED 734 or the left side accessory light 735 is transferred to the left side heat sink 732 and the left side portion 703 of the frame frame 700, and is cooled by the air on the left side of the left side portion 703. ..

The right side structure portion 740 is assembled to the inside (left side) of the right side portion 704 of the frame frame 700. As shown in FIG. 9, the right side structure portion 740 includes a right side control board 741, a right side heat sink 742, and a right side assembly cover 743. A large number of right-side display LEDs 744 and a large number of right-side accessory lights 745 are mounted on the right-side control board 741 along the vertical direction. Since the structures of the right side structure part 740 and the left side structure part 730 are symmetrical and similar, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The light guide plate 750 is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate having a transparency capable of transmitting light, and has a rectangular shape. The light guide plate 750 incidents display light from a display LED (not shown) through peripheral surfaces (upper surface, lower surface, left surface, right surface). Then, the incident light for display is internally reflected and emitted from the front surface 751. The rear surface of the light guide plate 750 is formed with an uneven rough surface (not shown) for reflecting light for display toward the front.

As shown in FIG. 9, a transmission film 770 is arranged in front of the light guide plate 750, and a liquid crystal panel 760 is arranged in front of the transmission film 770. Therefore, when the display LED is turned on, the display light is emitted from the front surface 751 of the light guide plate 750 as surface emission. Then, the display light emitted from the front surface 751 of the light guide plate 750 can be supplied to the liquid crystal panel 760 via the transmission film 770. The display LED and the light guide plate 750 will be collectively referred to as a "backlight".

The liquid crystal panel 760 has a large number of pixels arranged in a matrix, and the transmittance is controlled by each pixel. As a result, the liquid crystal panel 760 can transmit the display light from the backlight forward and display the image on the front surface (display screen 7a). That is, when the display light from the backlight is supplied to each pixel of the liquid crystal panel 760, the image displayed on the display screen 7a can be visually recognized from the front. The liquid crystal panel 760 has a rectangular thin plate shape, and is arranged behind the front portion 705 of the frame frame 700. The front surface of the liquid crystal panel 760 is the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 described above.

The transmissive film (transparency switching means) 770 is capable of switching between a transmissive state in which the rear is visible and a non-transmissive state in which the rear is invisible, and is formed into a rectangular thin plate as shown in FIG. It has become. The transmissive film 770 is interposed between the liquid crystal panel 760 and the light guide plate 750, and is connected to the upper control board 711 via two flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) 775. Therefore, the upper control board 711 can switch between the transmissive state and the non-transmissive state of the transmissive film 770 by applying a voltage to the transmissive film 770 via the flexible printed circuit board 775.

In this way, if the transmissive film 770 is in a non-transmissive state, the rear side (rear liquid crystal display device 50) behind the display screen 7a (transmissive film 770) cannot be visually recognized, and the display screen of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is mainly used. Attention will be paid to the effect image displayed on 7a. On the other hand, if the transmissive film 770 is in a transmissive state, the rear side of the display screen 7a can be visually recognized, and the effect image mainly displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 or the first Attention will be paid to the movable board 55k and the like. The non-transmissive state is a state in which the rear side of the transparent film 770 cannot be completely seen, but a state in which the rear side can be slightly visible may be used.

As shown in FIG. 9, the protective panel 780 is arranged behind the transparent film 770, and the transparent film 770, the light guide plate 750, and the liquid crystal panel 760 are provided against an external force from the rear of the transparent liquid crystal display device 7. It protects. The protective panel 780 is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate having a transparency capable of transmitting light, and has a rectangular shape.

Next, based on FIGS. 10A and 10B, a difference between the case where the effect image is not displayed on the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 and the case where the effect image is displayed will be described. FIG. 10A shows a state in which the effect image is not displayed on the display screen 7a (the entire display area of the display screen 7a) of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. In this state, since the transmissive film 770 is in the transmissive state, the region behind the transmissive film 770 is visible. Here, in FIG. 10A, the variation effect is executed with the daytime background image H1 showing the daytime background displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. In this way, the player is basically focused on the effect image executed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50.

Subsequently, in FIG. 10B, a state in which the black image BL is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is shown, and a part of the black image BL is cut out in a circular shape. A cutout portion BLa is provided. In this state, as in FIG. 10A, the transmissive film 770 is in a transmissive state, and the daytime background image H1 is displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. Therefore, it is possible to visually recognize a part of the daytime background image H1 (the part where the sun is shown) displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 through the cutout portion BLa of the black image BL. ..

As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is arranged in front of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 as shown in FIG. 8, the player can see the rear liquid crystal display device as shown in FIG. 10 (A). It is possible to show the effect image displayed by 50, or to show the effect image displayed by the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 as shown in FIG. 10 (B). Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, it is possible to show a part of the effect image displayed on the rear liquid crystal display device 50 while also showing the effect image displayed on the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 arranged in the front is larger than the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 arranged in the rear. Then, as described above, basically, no effect image is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 (see FIG. 10A), and the player is asked to display the rear liquid crystal display device 50. Attention is paid to the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a of. Then, by suddenly displaying the effect image on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, the effect image is enlarged for the player who is conscious of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. Moreover, it is possible to make it look as if it is approaching.

Further, in the case of a player who plays the pachinko gaming machine PY1 for the first time or a player who does not know the existence of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, generally, the effect is produced outside the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. I don't think the image will be displayed. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the black image BL is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. That is, in the display area of the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, the effect image is displayed in the outer display area 7x that does not overlap the display area of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the front-rear direction. As a result, it appears to the player that the effect image is displayed outside the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. As a result, it is possible to show the production image at a position unexpected for the player, and it is possible to provide a novel game entertainment.

2. Normal logo flash effect and enlarged logo flash effect Next, the effect that is a feature of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, a notice effect suggesting the degree of expectation of winning the big hit may be executed before the big hit or not is indicated during the execution of the variable effect (before the special symbol is stopped and displayed). As one of the notice effects, there are a normal logo flash effect (first front notice effect) and an enlarged logo flash effect (second front notice effect).

First, the normal logo flash effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 11A, the normal logo flash effect is a normal logo flash image TG (specific motif) showing the face (specific motif) of the main character of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. This is an effect of displaying the first display image). This normal logo flash effect is executed for about 0.5 seconds so as to interrupt while the variable effect is being executed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. That is, the fluctuation effect on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is interrupted in the middle, the normal logo flash image TG is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 for about 0.5 seconds, and then the rear is displayed. The fluctuation effect that was interrupted on the display screen 50a of the liquid crystal display device 50 will be resumed. In this way, the player who is paying attention to the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is suddenly shown the normal logo flash effect executed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, which gives a dramatic surprise. , It is possible to give an uplifting feeling by increasing the expectation of winning the jackpot. The transmissive film 770 remains controlled in the transmissive state even during the execution of the normal logo flash effect and before and after the normal logo flash effect is executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11A, a part of the normal logo flash image TG displayed by the normal logo flash effect is displayed in the outer display area 7x of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. Therefore, the normal logo flash image TG is suddenly shown to the player who has been paying attention to the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 at an unexpected position outside the display screen 50a. Therefore, it is possible to make the normal logo flash image TG displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 appear larger and more prominent. Further, a part of the normal logo flash image TG is displayed so as to overlap a part of the lower decorative member 61x and a part of the first board movable body 55k. Therefore, for a player who does not assume that the effect image overlaps the decorative member or the movable body, the logo flash image TG is displayed forward as it overlaps the lower decorative member 61x or the first board movable body 55k. It is possible to give a surprise by doing so.

Here, the normal logo flash image TG has two display image modes that suggest different degrees of expectation of winning a jackpot. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11A, a display image mode in which the face of the main character shown in the normal logo flash image TG is blue, and a face of the main character shown in the normal logo flash image TG. There is a display image mode in which is red. In the following, the normal logo flash image TG in the display image mode in which the face of the main character is blue is referred to as the blue normal logo flash image TG1, and the normal logo flash in the display image mode in which the face of the main character is red is referred to. The image TG will be referred to as a red normal logo flash image TG2.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the blue normal logo flash image TG1 is displayed as the normal logo flash effect, the player is informed that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 5%. It is set to suggest. Further, when the red normal logo flash image TG2 is displayed, it is set to suggest to the player that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 30%. In this way, when the normal logo flash effect is executed, the player is made to pay attention to whether the blue normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 is displayed, and the high expectation of winning the jackpot is high. It is possible to grasp in detail.

Next, the enlarged logo flash effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 11B, the enlarged logo flash effect is an effect of displaying the enlarged logo flash image KG (second display image) on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. Here, as can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 11 (B) and 11 (A), the enlarged logo flash image KG has a face (specific) of the main character of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 rather than the normal logo flash image TG. The motif) is shown in large size. In other words, the enlarged logo flash image KG can give the impression that the normal logo flash image TG is enlarged. Then, the enlarged logo flash effect is executed for about 0.5 seconds so as to interrupt while the variable effect is being executed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, similarly to the normal logo flash effect. In this way, the player who is paying attention to the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is suddenly shown the enlarged logo flash effect executed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 to give a dramatic surprise. , It is possible to give an uplifting feeling by increasing the expectation of winning the jackpot. The transmissive film 770 remains controlled in the transmissive state even during the execution of the magnified logo flash effect and before and after the magnified logo flash effect is executed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the normal logo flash effect is executed, the normal logo flash image TG is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, so that the face of the main character is displayed. Appears to approach forward. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11B, when the enlarged logo flash effect is executed, the enlarged logo flash image KG is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, so that the face of the main character is displayed. Appears to approach further forward than the normal logo flash image TG by perspective. In this way, when the enlarged logo flash effect is executed, it is possible to increase the impact of the face of the main character as compared with the case where the normal logo flash effect is executed, and it is possible to provide a more powerful effect. Is possible. Further, the degree of closeness of the face of the main character changes depending on whether either the normal logo flash image TG or the enlarged logo flash image KG is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a novel game entertainment as a notice effect that can be visually recognized in front of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50.

By the way, the enlarged logo flash image KG has five display image modes (expectation modes) that suggest different expectations for winning the jackpot. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, a display image mode in which the face of the main character shown in the enlarged logo flash image KG is blue, and a face of the main character shown in the enlarged logo flash image KG. The display image mode in which is green, the display image mode in which the face of the main character shown in the enlarged logo flash image KG is red, and the face of the main character shown in the magnified logo flash image KG are gold. There is a display image aspect in which the face of the main character shown by the enlarged logo flash image KG is rainbow-colored. In the following, the enlarged logo flash image KG of the display image aspect in which the face of the main character is blue is referred to as the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, and the enlarged logo flash of the display image aspect in which the face of the main character is green is referred to. The image KG is called a green enlarged logo flash image KG2, and the enlarged logo flash image KG in the display image mode in which the face of the main character is red is called a red enlarged logo flash image KG3, and the face of the main character is golden. The enlarged logo flash image KG of the displayed image aspect is called the gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, and the enlarged logo flash image KG of the displayed image aspect in which the face of the main character is rainbow-colored is called the rainbow enlarged logo flash image. I will call it KG5.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1 is displayed as the enlarged logo flash effect, the player is informed that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 10%. It is set to suggest. Further, when the green enlarged logo flash image KG2 is displayed, it is set to suggest to the player that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 20%. Further, when the red enlarged logo flash image KG3 is displayed, it is set to suggest to the player that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 40%. Further, when the gold enlarged logo flash image KG4 is displayed, it is set to suggest to the player that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 60%. Further, when the rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 is displayed, it is set to suggest to the player that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 100%.

When the enlarged logo flash effect is executed in this way, the player is given a blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, a green enlarged logo flash image KG2, a red enlarged logo flash image KG3, a gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, and a rainbow enlarged logo flash image. It will be noticed which of KG5 is displayed. In particular, the enlarged logo flash image KG has five types of enlarged logo flash images KG1 to KG5 depending on the high degree of expectation of winning the jackpot, whereas the normal logo flash image TG has as described above. , There are only two types of normal logo flash image TG depending on the high degree of expectation of winning the jackpot. Therefore, the enlarged logo flash effect makes it possible to grasp the high degree of expectation of winning the jackpot in more detail (more finely) than the normal logo flash effect.

Further, as can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 12 (A) and 12 (B), the winning expectation when the blue normal logo flash image TG1 is displayed is 5%, whereas the blue enlarged logo flash image is displayed. When KG1 is displayed, the winning expectation is 10%. In addition, the high expectation of winning when the red normal logo flash image TG2 is displayed is 30%, whereas the high expectation of winning when the red enlarged logo flash image KG3 is displayed is 40%. Is. Therefore, when the face of the main character is shown as the same color in the normal logo flash effect and the enlarged logo flash effect, the enlarged logo flash image KG has a higher expectation of winning than the normal logo flash image TG. Suggests. Therefore, it is possible to expect the player to perform the enlarged logo flash effect rather than the normal logo flash effect. That is, the larger the face of the main character shown on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 (the one that looks closer) can give the player an uplifting feeling due to the high expectation of winning. is there.

Further, in the enlarged logo flash effect, as shown in FIG. 12 (B), when the rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 (hit suggestion mode) is displayed, the winning expectation is 100%, so the jackpot is won. Will be confirmed. That is, the display of the rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 means the notification of winning the jackpot, and there is no loss. On the other hand, in the normal logo flash effect, as shown in FIG. 12A, the winning expectation is less than 100% regardless of whether the blue normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 is displayed. Therefore, the winning of the jackpot is not confirmed. As described above, when the normal logo flash effect is executed, the display of the normal logo flash image TG does not give a winning notification, while when the enlarged logo flash effect is executed, the enlarged logo flash image KG is displayed. It may be a winning notification. Therefore, if the face of the main character shown on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is large (when it looks closer), it is possible to give the player a great expectation that it may be a winning notification. .. Since the other effects in the enlarged logo flash effect are substantially the same as the effects in the normal logo flash effect described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

Whether or not the above-mentioned normal logo flash effect is executed by using a predetermined normal logo flash execution lottery table (not shown) in the normal logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4701) of the advance notice effect selection process (S4505) described later. Is decided. When it is decided to execute the normal logo flash effect, in the normal logo flash image lottery process (S4703) of the advance notice effect selection process (S4505) described later, the normal logo flash effect table shown in FIG. 13 (A) is used to create blue. Whether to display the normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 is determined.

Further, whether the above-mentioned enlarged logo flash effect is executed by using a predetermined enlarged logo flash execution lottery table (not shown) in the enlarged logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4704) of the advance notice effect selection process (S4505) described later. Whether or not is decided. When it is decided to execute the enlarged logo flash effect, in the enlarged logo flash image lottery process (S4706) of the advance notice effect selection process (S4505) described later, the enlarged logo flash effect table shown in FIG. 13 (B) is used to create blue. It is determined which of the enlarged logo flash image KG1, the green enlarged logo flash image KG2, the red enlarged logo flash image KG3, the gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, and the rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 is displayed.

3. 3. Interlocked vibration effect Next, the interlocking vibration effect, which is a feature of this embodiment, will be described. The interlocking vibration effect is an effect in which the effect button 40k and the second board movable body 56k are both vibrating. Therefore, first, a case where the second board movable body 56k vibrates will be described with reference to FIG.

As described above, the second board movable body 56k is in the standby position shown in FIG. 7 as the position in the initial state, and is arranged on the lower side of the game board 1. In this case, the player cannot visually recognize the second board movable body 56k in the standby position. On the other hand, the second board movable body 56k can move upward from the standby position and move to the operating position shown in FIG. 14 (A). When the second panel movable body 56k is in the operating position, it is arranged in front of the lower portion of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 as shown in FIG. 14A. In this case, the player can visually recognize the second board movable body 56k in the operating position.

In the present embodiment, the movable body drive effect in which the second board movable body 56k moves from the standby position (see FIG. 7) to the operating position (see FIG. 14) may be executed during the execution of the variable effect. This movable body drive effect is an effect that suggests that the expectation of winning the jackpot is high by showing the player the second board movable body 56k that appears in front of the lower part of the display screen 50a. is there. That is, when the movable body drive effect is executed, the player is made to understand that the expectation of winning the jackpot is higher than when the movable body drive effect is not executed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 14B, the second board movable body 56k can move to the left from the operation position shown by the solid line toward the left swing position shown by the alternate long and short dash line. The second board movable body 56k can move to the right from the rocking position on the left side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line to the operating position indicated by the solid line. Further, the second board movable body 56k can move to the right from the operation position shown by the solid line toward the right swing position shown by the alternate long and short dash line. The second board movable body 56k can move to the left from the rocking position on the right side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line toward the operating position indicated by the solid line. In this way, the second board movable body 56k passes from the operating position (solid line shown in FIG. 14B) to the oscillating position (two-dot chain line shown in FIG. By repeating the operation of returning to the solid line) multiple times, it is possible to vibrate. In this embodiment, repeating the reciprocating operation of returning from a certain position to a certain position a plurality of times is referred to as "vibration".

As shown in FIG. 14B, the second disc movable body 56k is formed in a disk shape imitating the shape of the emblem. By moving the second board movable body 56k from the standby position (see FIG. 7) to the operation position shown in FIG. 14 (A), the player can see the disk-shaped second board movable body 56k on the rear liquid crystal display. It appears to suddenly appear in front of the display screen 50a of the device 50. Then, the second board movable body 56k vibrates from the operating position ⇒ swinging position ⇒ operating position, so that the player can see it as a fan to the subsequent production. In this way, the appearance and vibration of the second board movable body 56k makes it possible for the player to pay attention (expectation) to the future direction of the production.

Next, the case where the effect button 40k vibrates will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the effect button 40k is arranged in front of the upper plate 34, and is in a normal position as a position in the initial state. In FIG. 15A, the effect button 40k in the normal position is shown by a solid line. The effect button 40k is formed in a dome shape (hemispherical shape) and is configured to be vibrable in the left-right direction. Here, there are two types of vibration modes when the effect button 40k vibrates: a first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) and a second vibration mode (second vibration pattern). As shown in FIG. 14B, there is only one type of vibration of the second board movable body 56k described above.

As shown in FIG. 15A, the effect button 40k can be moved to the left from the normal position shown by the solid line toward the vibration position on the left side shown by the alternate long and short dash line. The effect button 40k can be moved to the right from the vibration position on the left side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line toward the normal position indicated by the solid line. Further, the effect button 40k can be moved to the right from the normal position indicated by the solid line toward the swing position on the right side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line. The effect button 40k can be moved to the left from the rocking position on the right side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line toward the normal position indicated by the solid line. In this way, the effect button 40k returns from the normal position (solid line shown in FIG. 15 (A)) to the normal position (solid line shown in FIG. 15 (A)) via the vibration position (two-dot chain line shown in FIG. 15 (A)). By repeating the operation multiple times, it is possible to vibrate. As shown in FIG. 15A, the vibration mode when the effect button 40k vibrates is the first vibration mode.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15B, the effect button 40k can move to the left from the normal position shown by the solid line toward the slight vibration position on the left side shown by the alternate long and short dash line. At the slight vibration position on the left side (two-dot chain line on the left side of FIG. 15B), the effect button 40k is to the left of the normal position than the above-mentioned vibration position (two-dot chain line on the left side of FIG. 15A). It is a position where the amount of movement to move to is small. The effect button 40k can be moved to the right from the micro-vibration position on the left side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line toward the normal position indicated by the solid line. Further, the effect button 40k can be moved to the right from the normal position indicated by the solid line toward the micro-vibration position on the right side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line. At the micro-vibration position on the right side (two-dot chain line on the right side in FIG. 15 (B)), the effect button 40k is to the right of the normal position (two-dot chain line on the right side in FIG. 15 (A)). It is a position where the amount of movement to move to is small. The effect button 40k can be moved to the left from the micro-vibration position on the right side indicated by the alternate long and short dash line toward the normal position indicated by the solid line. In this way, the effect button 40k moves from the normal position (solid line shown in FIG. 15 (B)) to the normal position (solid line shown in FIG. 15 (A)) again through the micro-vibration position (two-dot chain line shown in FIG. 15 (B)). It is possible to vibrate by repeating the return operation multiple times. As shown in FIG. 15B, the vibration mode when the effect button 40k vibrates is the second vibration mode.

As described above, when the first vibration mode and the second vibration mode of the effect button 40k are compared, the effect button 40k vibrates relatively large (large amplitude) in the first vibration mode, whereas the second vibration mode has a large amplitude. The effect button 40k vibrates relatively small (small amplitude). Therefore, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode, the effect button 40k that vibrates greatly in the left-right direction is easily noticed by the player, and appears to the player as a fan to the effect to be executed thereafter. In this way, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode, the player can pay attention to (expect) the whereabouts of the subsequent effect.

In particular, the effect button 40k is an operating means that can be pressed by the player, but in the present embodiment, the effect button 40k can vibrate in the first vibration mode without being triggered by the player's pressing operation. There is. Therefore, in general, the player sees the effect button 40k that greatly swings in the left-right direction in the first vibration mode without touching the effect button 40k. Therefore, by showing the player the effect button 40k that vibrates naturally (compared to the second vibration mode described later) even though the effect button 40k is not pressed, the future of the effect can be further enhanced. It is possible to have a great sense of expectation.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the effect button 40k can vibrate in the second vibration mode triggered by the pressing operation by the player. Therefore, in general, the player will experience the effect button 40k that sways slightly (finely) in the left-right direction in the second vibration mode while touching the effect button 40k. Therefore, by pressing and operating the effect button 40k, the player can feel the effect button 40k that vibrates finely and enjoy the active involvement in the effect.

Here, the button vibration effect will be described with reference to FIG. 16A. The button vibration effect is an effect in which the effect button 40k vibrates in the second vibration mode. As shown in FIG. 16A, in the button vibration effect, the amplitude of the effect button 40k is SP1, and the vibration cycle of the effect button 40k is 1/4 second (s). In this button vibration effect, the amplitude of the effect button 40k is the amount of movement when the effect button 40k moves from the normal position (solid line in FIG. 15 (B)) to the slight vibration position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 15 (B)). That is. The vibration cycle of the effect button 40k is from the normal position (solid line in FIG. 15 (B)) to the slight vibration position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 15 (B)) until the effect button 40k returns to the normal position. It is the time (s).

As will be described later, this button vibration effect is executed when the player presses the effect button 40k (see FIG. 22 (C-1)). Specifically, as will be described later, when the player presses the effect button 40k after the button press promotion effect (see FIG. 22B) that prompts the effect button 40k to be pressed is executed, the button vibration effect is produced. May be executed. In this case, a winning notification effect (FIG. 22 (C-1)) for notifying the winning of the jackpot is executed in accordance with the button vibration effect. Therefore, the player is made to grasp the winning of the big hit by the winning notification effect and the button vibration effect, and is made to feel the vibration of the effect button 40k, which has a relatively short vibration cycle, to promote the joy of winning. It is possible.

Next, the button fanning effect will be described with reference to FIG. 16B. The button fanning effect is an effect in which the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode. As shown in FIG. 16B, in the button fanning effect, the amplitude of the effect button 40k is SP2, and the vibration cycle of the effect button 40k is 1 second (s). In this button fanning effect, the amplitude of the effect button 40k is the amount of movement when the effect button 40k moves from the normal position (solid line in FIG. 15 (A)) to the vibration position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 15 (A)). That is. The vibration cycle of the effect button 40k is the time from the normal position (solid line in FIG. 15 (A)) to the vibration position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 15 (A)) until the effect button 40k returns to the normal position again. It is (s).

As will be described later, this button fanning effect is executed without being triggered by a player pressing the effect button 40k (see FIG. 22 (A)). Specifically, as will be described later, before the button pressing promotion effect (see FIG. 22B) for prompting the pressing operation of the effect button 40k is executed, the button is used as a fanning effect up to the button pressing promotion effect. In some cases, a fanning effect is performed. In this case, in the button fanning effect, the effect button 40k vibrates with a relatively large amplitude and a relatively long vibration cycle. In particular, since the vibration cycle at this time is 1 second, the cycle is similar to that of a human heartbeat (about 1 second). Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of urgency that makes him feel the beating of the heart by the button fanning effect, and to give a great expectation to the future of the effect.

By the way, in the effect button of the conventional pachinko gaming machine, it is general that the vibration has a relatively small amplitude and a relatively short vibration period, as in the button vibration effect shown in FIG. 16 (A). That is, as the vibration mode of the effect button (operating means), there is generally only one type of vibration mode as in the second vibration mode shown in FIG. 15B.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in addition to the effect button 40k being able to vibrate in the general second vibration mode (see FIG. 15B), the first vibration mode has a larger amplitude and a longer vibration cycle than the second vibration mode. (See FIG. 15 (A)), it is possible to vibrate. As a result, it is possible to experience that the effect button 40k vibrates more slowly (longer vibration cycle) with a larger amplitude than the conventional impression. In this way, it is possible to enjoy the vibration with the effect button 40k, which has never existed before.

The vibration of the second vibration mode by the effect button 40k is triggered by the player pressing the effect button 40k, whereas the vibration of the first vibration mode by the effect button 40k is the effect button by the player. It was not triggered by the pressing operation to 40k. Therefore, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode, the player sees the vibration having a larger amplitude and a longer vibration cycle than the generally assumed second vibration mode at an unintended timing. It will be. As a result, it is possible for the player to visually recognize the unexpected vibration caused by the effect button 40k and provide a novel game interest.

Subsequently, the interlocking vibration effect will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect) is an effect in which the effect button 40k and the second board movable body 56k are vibrating together. Specifically, the effect button 40k is in the first vibration mode. In addition to vibrating, the second panel movable body 56k repeatedly vibrates from the operating position (solid line in FIG. 14 (B)) to the operating position via the rocking position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 14 (B)). .. In the interlocking vibration effect, the timing at which the effect button 40k starts to vibrate in the first vibration mode and the timing at which the second board movable body 56k starts to vibrate are the same. Further, the timing at which the effect button 40k ends the vibration is the same as the timing at which the second board movable body 56k ends the vibration. That is, the vibration time (vibration period) of the effect button 40k and the vibration time (vibration period) of the second board movable body 56k are the same.

In this way, it is possible to give the player the surprise that two vibrable movable bodies (effect button 40k, second board movable body 56k) are vibrating at the same time by the interlocking vibration effect. In particular, the effect button 40k as an operation means that can be operated by the player and the second board movable body 56k as the effect movable body vibrate at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to give the player the unexpectedness that two production means having different properties vibrate at the same time. Then, the interlocking vibration effect of this embodiment is executed as a fanning effect up to the button pressing promotion effect (see FIG. 22 (B)) (see FIG. 22 (A)). Therefore, as described above, by combining the vibration of the effect button 40k in the button fanning effect and the vibration of the second board movable body 56k, it is possible to give a stronger sense of urgency that makes the heart beat. is there.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the interlocking vibration effect is executed without being triggered by the player's pressing operation on the effect button 40k (see FIG. 22 (A)), the second board is performed at a timing unintended by the player. It seems that the movable body 56k and the effect button 40k are moving automatically. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a production with a stronger impact will be executed after that (is it a sign of some great production). In this way, the interlocking vibration effect makes it possible to further enhance the process leading up to the button press promotion effect (see FIG. 22B).

Here, in the interlocking vibration effect of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the amplitude when the second board movable body 56k vibrates is SP3. The amplitude of the second board movable body 56k is the movement when the second board movable body 56k moves from the operating position (solid line in FIG. 14 (B)) to the swinging position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 14 (B)). It is the quantity. Further, the vibration cycle when the second board movable body 56k vibrates is 1 second (s). The vibration cycle of the second board movable body 56k is such that the second board movable body 56k passes from the operating position (solid line in FIG. 14B) to the swinging position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 14B) and then operates again. It is the time (s) until returning to. In this way, in the interlocking vibration effect, the vibration period of the effect button 40k and the vibration period of the second board movable body 56k are both the same in 1 second.

Therefore, in the interlocking vibration effect of this embodiment, since the vibration period is the vibration of the effect button 40k and the vibration of the second panel movable body 56k, the vibrations of the two movable bodies (effect button 40k and the second panel movable body 56k) It is possible to let the player know that is completely linked. In particular, the vibration cycle of the effect button 40k and the vibration cycle of the second board movable body 56k are both 1 second, which is close to the human heartbeat cycle. Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the effect as a fanning effect by allowing the player to visually recognize two synchronized vibrations such as the heartbeat from two different parts.

4. About the battle reach development production Next, the battle reach development production, which is a feature of this form, will be explained. In this embodiment, the normal reach may be executed from the start of the variable effect based on the result of one special symbol lottery to the end of the variable effect, and the battle reach development effect may be executed after the normal reach (see FIG. 34). ). In this battle reach development production, when the left production symbol EZ1 and the right production symbol EZ3 stop at "7" and the reach display mode is reached, out of three types of battle reach such as battle reach A, battle reach B, and battle reach C. , Either battle reach is determined (see FIG. 34). In this form, after the battle reach development production, it will develop to the determined battle reach. The battle reach A of this form is a battle reach in which the directing character (enemy A) and the main character confront each other. The battle reach B is a battle reach in which the directing character (enemy B) and the main character confront each other. The battle reach C is a battle reach in which the directing character (enemy C) and the main character confront each other.

In this embodiment, if a big hit is obtained due to the lottery result of a special symbol, among the fluctuation patterns (variation pattern P4 to fluctuation pattern P6) in which the battle reach (battle reach A, battle reach B, battle reach C) is executed, The fluctuation pattern P4 in which the fluctuation effect that develops into the battle reach A is executed is set to the highest distribution rate (see FIG. 34). Further, the fluctuation pattern having the highest distribution rate next to the fluctuation pattern P4 in which the fluctuation effect that develops into battle reach A is executed is the fluctuation pattern P5 in which the fluctuation effect that develops into battle reach B is executed (see FIG. 34). .. further. The variation pattern having the next highest distribution rate after the variation pattern P5 in which the variation effect that develops in battle reach B is executed is the variation pattern P6 in which the variation effect that develops in battle reach C is executed (see FIG. 34).

On the other hand, if the lottery of the special symbol causes a loss, of the fluctuation patterns (variation pattern P24 to fluctuation pattern P26) in which the battle reach (battle reach A, battle reach B, battle reach C) is executed, the battle reach A The fluctuation pattern P24 in which the fluctuation effect that develops into the above is executed is set to the lowest distribution rate (see FIG. 34). Further, the variation pattern having the lowest distribution rate next to the variation pattern P24 in which the variation effect developing into battle reach A is executed is the variation pattern P25 in which the variation effect developing into battle reach B is executed (see FIG. 34). .. Further, the variation pattern having the lowest distribution rate next to the variation pattern P25 in which the variation effect that develops in battle reach B is executed is the variation pattern P26 in which the variation effect that develops in battle reach C is executed (see FIG. 34). ). Therefore, in this embodiment, the expectation of a big hit (winning expectation) is set to be higher in the order of battle reach C ⇒ battle reach B ⇒ battle reach A (see FIG. 34).

In the battle reach development production, the first half normal suggestion effect described later, the expansion suggestion effect described later, and the second half normal suggestion effect described later are executed (see FIG. 34). Then, in this embodiment, when the execution of the battle reach development effect is started, the execution of the first half normal suggestion effect is started first, and the execution of the expanded suggestion effect is started after the execution of the first half normal suggestion effect is completed. Next, after the execution of the expanded suggestion effect is completed, the execution of the second half normal suggestion effect is started, and after the execution of the second half normal suggestion effect is completed, three types (Battle Reach A, Battle Reach B, Battle Reach C, FIG. From (see 34), it will develop into the battle reach determined by the battle reach development production.

Next, the first half normal suggestion effect will be described. Here, the first half normal suggestion effect is an effect that suggests the battle reach of the development destination on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, and suggests the battle reach determined by the first half normal suggestion effect. In addition, the first half normal suggestion production is also a production that suggests the degree of expectation of winning a big hit. Further, in the first half normal suggestion effect of the present embodiment, the first half normal suggestion image showing the effect characters to be confronted in the battle reach is displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. The first half normal suggestion image of this embodiment shows the production character (enemy A) of the pachinko game machine PY1, and the first half normal suggestion image L1 and the pachinko game machine suggesting the development to the battle reach A corresponding to the enemy A. The production character (enemy B) of PY1 is shown, the first half normal suggestion image L2 suggesting the development to battle reach B corresponding to enemy B, and the production character (enemy C) of this pachinko gaming machine PY1 are shown to enemy C. There are three types of first half normal suggestion images L3 that suggest the development to the corresponding battle reach C (FIGS. 20 (A), 24 (A-1), 24 (B-2), 24 (C-). 2)).

As mentioned above, the expectation that the enemy C and the main character will face each other in the order of battle reach C ⇒ enemy B and the main character will face each other in battle reach B ⇒ enemy A and the main character will face each other in battle reach A (winning). Since the distribution is set to have a high degree of expectation (see Fig. 34), in the first half normal suggestion effect in the battle reach development effect of this embodiment, the first half normal suggestion image L3 ⇒ enemy B showing enemy C is shown. The first half normal suggestion image L2 ⇒ the first half normal suggestion image L1 showing the enemy A is set in this order to suggest that the winning expectation of a big hit is high.

Further, in the first half normal suggestion production of this embodiment, one of the three types of battle reach, such as battle reach A, battle reach B, and battle reach C, is determined (see FIG. 34). Specifically, when the execution of the first half normal suggestion effect is started, the first half normal suggestion image L3 is first displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, and during the display of the first half normal suggestion image L3, When the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 stop at "7" and reach the reach display mode, the first half normal suggestion image to be confirmed and displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is determined to be the first half normal suggestion image L3. (See FIG. 24 (A) and FIG. 24 (B-1)). Along with this, the battle reach is determined to be the battle reach C corresponding to the effect character (enemy C) shown in the first half normal suggestion image L3 in which the battle reach is confirmed and displayed.

Further, the first half normal suggestion effect is started, and the first half normal suggestion image L3 is first displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 (see FIG. 24 (A)). It is changed to the image L2, and during the display of the changed first half normal suggestion image L2 (see FIG. 24 (B-2)), the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 stop at "7" to display the reach. In the aspect, the first half normal suggestion image L2 to be confirmed and displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is determined as the first half normal suggestion image L2 (see FIG. 24C). Along with this, the battle reach is determined to be the battle reach B corresponding to the effect character (enemy B) shown in the first half normal suggestion image L2 in which the battle reach is confirmed and displayed.

Further, the first half normal suggestion effect is started, and the first half normal suggestion image L3 displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is changed to the first half normal suggestion image L2 (FIGS. 24 (A) and 24 (B-2)). (See), and further changed from the first half normal suggestion image L2 to the first half normal suggestion image L1 (see FIGS. 24 (B-2) to 24 (C-2)). In this case, when the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 stop at "7" during the display of the changed first half normal suggestion image L1 to reach the reach display mode, the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 The first half normal suggestion image to be confirmed and displayed at is determined to be the first half normal suggestion image L1 (see FIG. 24 (D)). Along with this, the battle reach A is determined to correspond to the effect character (enemy A) shown in the first half normal suggestion image L1 in which the battle reach is confirmed and displayed.

Next, the expansion suggestion effect will be described.

However, in the battle reach correct production, the first half normal suggestion effect, the expanded suggestion effect, and the second half normal suggestion effect are executed in the battle reach correct effect as well as the battle reach development effect (see FIGS. 28 and 34). This not only suggests to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol will be a big hit, but also gives the player a sense of security that it is a big hit, and it is possible to entertain until the variable production is finished. Will be.

A conventional pachinko game machine is provided with one liquid crystal display device, and the one liquid crystal display device is used for a variable effect based on the result of one special symbol lottery, a big hit effect during a big hit game, and a pachinko machine. It has been possible to entertain the player by applying the effects according to various game situations by displaying the effects according to the game state of the gaming machine. However, in a conventional pachinko gaming machine, there is a possibility that the player may get bored at an early stage simply by displaying a variable effect, a big hit effect, an effect according to the game state, etc. on one liquid crystal display device. In addition, the production performed by one liquid crystal display device was also commonplace, and the player could not be fully entertained.

Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the battle reach development effect is executed, first, in the first half normal suggestion effect, the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 displays the first half normal suggestion image L3 to the first half normal suggestion. There are cases where the image is changed to the image L2, and cases where the changed first half normal suggestion image L2 is changed to the first half normal suggestion image L3. After that, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 are in the reach display mode, so that the battle reach of the development destination and the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 are confirmed. The first half normal suggestion image to be displayed is determined (FIGS. 18 (A-1), 18 (A-2), 18 (A-3). Subsequently, the effect character shown in the determined first half normal suggestion image is determined. An enlarged suggestion image showing the same effect character as is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 ((FIGS. 18 (B-1), 18 (B-2), 18 (B-3)). Further, the latter half normal suggestion image showing the same effect character as the effect character shown in the enlarged suggestion image displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. As a result, in the battle reach development effect of this embodiment, the effect is not executed only by one of the liquid crystal display devices 50 or the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, but in the battle reach development effect, the rear liquid crystal display is displayed. The first half normal suggestion effect and the second half normal suggestion effect using the device 50 are executed, and the enlarged suggestion effect using the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is executed. Therefore, one liquid crystal display is executed like a conventional pachinko game machine. Compared to the case where the effect is executed only by the device, the possibility that the player gets bored at an early stage is clearly reduced. Furthermore, the battle reach development effect and the battle reach are performed by using the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. Since the correct effect is executed, it does not become a mundane effect, and it becomes possible to draw the player's attention to the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, and the player It will be possible to entertain enough.

It will be possible. After that, the enlarged suggestion image displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 makes it possible to attract the eyes of the player. Further, it is possible to attract the player's eyes to the latter half normal suggestion image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. As a result, using both the liquid crystal display devices of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, the first half normal suggestion effect, the enlarged suggestion effect, and the second half normal suggestion effect are produced in the battle reach development effect and the battle reach correct effect. Since a series of production flows are executed, it is possible to provide the player with a novel production that is not found in conventional pachinko gaming machines. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from getting bored at an early stage, and it is possible to entertain the player.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the first half normal suggestion image, the enlarged suggestion image, and the second half normal suggestion image are suggestion images in which the same effect character is displayed. This makes it possible to develop a battle reach that confronts the effect characters shown in the first half normal suggestion image, the enlarged suggestion image, and the second half normal suggestion image, and to impress the player that the winning expectation is the same. Therefore, it is possible to give a stronger impression to the player than when the display is displayed only on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 or the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, and gives the player a novel effect. It will be possible to provide.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment, even when it is suggested that the variation effect in the case of a big hit by the lottery result of the special symbol is correct, the rear liquid crystal display device 50 or the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is simply used. Instead of using only one liquid crystal display device, the battle reach accuracy effect is executed by using both the liquid crystal display devices of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. As a result, unlike the case where the effect is executed by only one liquid crystal display device as in the conventional pachinko game machine, when it is suggested that the variable effect is correct when the lottery result of the special symbol is a big hit. In addition, since the effect is executed using both the liquid crystal display devices of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7, it is possible to entertain the player without getting tired of the player.

8. Explanation of jackpots, etc. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, there are "big hits (big hit wins)" and "losses" as a result of the jackpot lottery (special symbol lottery). At the time of "big hit", the "big hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special figure display 81. When it is "missing", the "missing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special figure display 81.

When a jackpot is won in a special symbol lottery, a "big hit game" is executed in which the jackpot 14 is opened in an opening pattern according to the type of jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) displayed as stopped. In this form, the jackpot game consists of multiple round games (unit open game), an opening before the first round game is started (also referred to as OP), and an ending after the final round game is completed. (Also referred to as ED) and is included. Each round game begins with the end of the OP or the end of the previous round game and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ED. The closing time (interval time) of the large winning opening between round games is included in the open round game before the closing.

As shown in FIG. 31, there are a plurality of types of jackpots (big hit symbols). In this embodiment, there are roughly two types. "Probability change jackpot" and "normal jackpot". The "probability variation jackpot" is a jackpot that operates the AT opening / closing member 14k in a passing opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that allows the game ball to easily pass through the specific area 16 during the jackpot game. The "normal jackpot" is a jackpot that operates the AT opening / closing member 14k in a non-passing opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which the game ball cannot or is difficult to pass through the specific area 16 during the jackpot game.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, based on the passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 during the jackpot game, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game is shifted to the high probability state described later. Therefore, when the above-mentioned probability variation jackpot is won, the gaming state after the jackpot game can be shifted to the high probability state by passing the game ball to the specific area 16 during the execution of the jackpot game. On the other hand, when a normal jackpot is won, the game ball cannot be passed to the specific area 16 during the execution of the jackpot game, so that the game state after the jackpot game is the normal probability state described later ( Non-high probability state). Even when the "probability change jackpot" is won, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 16 during the execution of the jackpot game, the normal probability state is reached.

Regardless of which jackpot is won, the gaming state after the jackpot game is controlled to the time saving state described later. The number of time reductions is set to 160 times or 100 times when the time reduction state is controlled. The time reduction number is the upper limit execution number of the variable display of the special symbol in the time reduction state.

Here, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is roughly divided into three gaming states. Normal probability state and non-time saving state (hereinafter also referred to as "low probability non-time saving state"), high probability state and time saving state (hereinafter also referred to as "high probability time saving state"), normal probability state and time saving state (hereinafter "low") It is also called "probability shortened state"). In the initial setting, it is a low probability non-time saving state (normal game state).

There are two types of jackpots (big hit symbols that are stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 81a) that can be won by lottery for the first special symbol (special diagram 1). Specifically, there are "probability change jackpot (probability variation jackpot 1, probability variation jackpot 2)" or "normal jackpot".

As shown in FIG. 31, the “probability variation jackpot 1” is a 10R (round) jackpot, and is a jackpot that opens the jackpot 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R. In this embodiment, the operation of the distribution member 16k (see FIG. 5A) is controlled so that the passage (V winning) to the specific area 16 in the large winning opening 14 can be easily performed at the 9th round. The operation of the distribution member 16k (see FIG. 5B) is controlled so that the V prize cannot be won except for the 9th round.

In this embodiment, in the case of winning the "probability variation jackpot 1" and winning a V, the game state after the jackpot game is controlled to the high probability time saving state. At this time, the number of time reductions is set to 160 times. The number of STs is set to 160. The number of STs is the maximum number of times the variation display of the special symbol is executed in the high probability state. However, as an irregular case, in the case of non-V winning, the game state after the big hit game is controlled to the low probability time saving state. If the "probability change jackpot 1" is won, the "special figure 1_probability change symbol" is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display 81a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31, the "normal jackpot" is a 16R (round) jackpot, which is a jackpot that opens the jackpot 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R. In the 9th round of the normal jackpot, the opening timing of the winning opening 14 and the operation timing of the distribution member 16k are controlled from the second state (see FIG. 5B) to the first state (see FIG. 5A). Due to the relationship with (timing), it is almost impossible for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16. However, as an irregular case, in the case of V winning, the game state after the big hit game is controlled to a highly accurate time saving state. If the "normal jackpot" is won, the "special figure 1_normal symbol" is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display 81a.

Next, the types of jackpots (big hit symbols that are stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 81b) that can be won by lottery for the second special symbol (special diagram 2) will be described. Only one type of jackpot can be won in the lottery of Special Figure 2. Specifically, there is only "probability change jackpot 2". That is, the jackpot won in the lottery of Special Figure 2 becomes a jackpot in which the game ball can easily pass through the specific area 16 during the jackpot game.

As shown in FIG. 31, the "probability variation jackpot 2" is a 10R jackpot, which is a jackpot that opens the jackpot 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R. As described above, in the 9th round, the operation of the distribution member 16k (see FIG. 5A) is controlled so that the passage to the specific area 16 (V winning) in the large winning opening 14 can be easily performed. .. In this embodiment, the "probability change jackpot 2" is won, and in the case of a V prize, the number of time reductions is set to 160 times. The number of STs is set to 160. However, as an irregular case, in the case of non-V winning, the game state after the big hit game is controlled to the low probability time saving state. If the "probability change jackpot 2" is won, the "special figure 2_probability change symbol" is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display 81b.

In this embodiment, the opening pattern when the jackpot is won is as shown in FIG. That is, first, the opening is executed for 4.0 seconds. After that, as described above, a round game in which the AT opening / closing member 14k is opened is executed. Finally, the ending is executed for 1.5 seconds.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31, in the distribution rate of each jackpot in the lottery of Special Figure 1, the probability variation jackpot 1 is 35%, while the normal jackpot is 65%. Further, in the jackpot in the lottery of the special figure 2, the probability variation jackpot 2 is 100% as described above. It should be noted that the big winning opening 14 may be opened a plurality of times during one round of the big hit game.

Here, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the lottery for whether or not it is a big hit is performed based on the "big hit random number", and the lottery for the winning type is performed based on the "win type random number". As shown in FIG. 32 (A), the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 65535. As shown in FIG. 32 (B), the hit type random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 99. In addition to the jackpot random number and the hit type random number, the random numbers acquired based on the winning of the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 include "reach random numbers" and "variable pattern random numbers".

The reach random number is a random number that determines whether or not to generate reach in the effect symbol variation effect that indicates the result when the result of the jackpot determination is incorrect. Reach is a state in which there is only one effect symbol EZ that is variablely displayed among a plurality of effect symbol EZs, and it depends on which symbol the variable display effect symbol EZ is stopped and displayed. It is a state (for example, a state of "7 ↓ 7") in which a combination of effect symbols EZ indicating a big hit is won. The effect symbol EZ that is stopped and displayed in the reach state may be displayed as if it is slightly shaken in the display screen 50a, or may be displayed so as to be repeatedly enlarged and reduced. This reach random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 127.

Further, the fluctuation pattern random number is a random number for determining the fluctuation pattern including the fluctuation time of the special symbol. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 99. Further, the random numbers acquired based on the passage to the gate 13 include ordinary symbol random numbers (hit random numbers) shown in FIG. 32 (B). The ordinary symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (ordinary symbol lottery) as to whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 12D. Ordinary symbol random numbers take a value in the range of 0 to 65535.

9. Description of Game State Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described. The special figure display 81 and the normal figure display 82 of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 each have a probability fluctuation function and a fluctuation time shortening function. The state in which the probability fluctuation function of the special figure display 81 is operating is referred to as a "high probability state", and the state in which the probability fluctuation function is not operating is referred to as a "normal probability state (non-high probability state, low probability state)". In the high probability state, the jackpot probability is higher than in the normal probability state. That is, the jackpot determination is performed using the jackpot determination table in which the value of the jackpot random number determined to be the jackpot is larger than the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (see FIG. 33 (A)). That is, when the probability fluctuation function of the special symbol display 81 is activated, the probability that the display result (that is, the stop symbol) of the variable display of the special symbol by the special symbol display 81 becomes a jackpot symbol as compared with the case where it is not activated. Will be higher.

Further, the state in which the fluctuation time shortening function of the special figure display 81 is operating is referred to as a "time saving state", and the state in which the function is not operating is referred to as a "non-time saving state". In the time-saving state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (time from the start of the fluctuation display to the derivation display of the display result) is shorter than in the non-time-saving state. That is, the fluctuation pattern is determined by using the special figure fluctuation pattern table in which the fluctuation pattern having a short fluctuation time is selected more often than in the non-time reduction state (see FIG. 34). That is, when the fluctuation time shortening function of the special symbol display 81 is activated, it becomes easier to select a short fluctuation time as the fluctuation time of the variable display of the special symbol as compared with the case where it is not activated. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure hold is accelerated, and an effective prize (a prize that can be memorized as the special figure hold) to the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for winning the jackpot under the smooth progress of the game.

The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the special figure display 81 may be operated at the same time, or only one of them may be operated. Then, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82 are operated in synchronization with the fluctuation time shortening function of the special figure display 81. That is, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82 operate in the time saving state and do not operate in the non-time saving state. Therefore, in the time saving state, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is higher than in the non-time saving state. That is, the hit judgment (judgment of the normal symbol) is performed using the normal symbol hit judgment table in which the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) judged to be a hit is larger than the normal symbol hit judgment table used in the non-time saving state (judgment of the normal symbol). See FIG. 33 (C)). That is, when the probability fluctuation function of the normal symbol display 42 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 42 becomes a normal hit symbol is higher than when it is not activated. ..

Further, in the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than in the non-time saving state. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 33 (D), the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds in the non-time saving state regardless of whether the result of the lottery of the normal symbol is a hit or a loss. It is 1 second in the time saving state. The stop time of the normal symbol is set to 8 ms (not shown) in the time-saving state and 500 ms (not shown) in the non-time-saving state.

Further, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than in the non-time saving state. That is, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D is operating. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 35, in the non-time saving state, the electric chew 12D opens for 0.2 seconds, whereas in the time saving state, the electric chew 12D opens for 2.0 seconds.

In addition, in the time-saving state, the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened in the auxiliary game is larger than in the non-time-saving state (see FIG. 35). That is, the function of increasing the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened is operating. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 35, in the non-time saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened only once, whereas in the time saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened three times. In the time saving state, the interval time from the closing of the electric chew 12D to the next opening is set to 1.0 second.

In the situation where the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82, and the opening time extending function and the opening number increasing function of the electric chew 12D are operating, compared with the case where these functions are not operating. Therefore, the electric chew 12D is frequently opened, and it becomes easy for the game ball to enter the second starting port 12. Therefore, the state in which these functions are operating is referred to as the "easy ball entry state", and the state in which these functions are not operating is referred to as the "non-ball entry easy state". The easy-to-enter state is a state in which so-called electric support control (control to support winning of the second starting port 12 by the electric chew 12D) is being executed. Therefore, the easy-to-enter state is also called the electric support control state or the high base state. On the other hand, the non-ball entry easy state is also called a non-electric support control state or a low base state.

In the easy-to-enter state (high base state), all the above functions do not have to be activated. That is, one or more of the probability fluctuation function of the normal figure display 82, the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D, and the opening frequency increasing function of the electric chew 12D. It suffices that the operation makes it easier for the electric chew 12D to be released than when the function is not operating. Further, the easy entry state may be controlled independently without being accompanied by the time saving state.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the high probability state is controlled after the jackpot game, the high probability state is subjected to the variable display of the special symbol a predetermined number of times (160 times in the present embodiment), or It ends when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed. That is, in this embodiment, the number of STs is set to 160 when the state shifts to the high probability state.

When playing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 for the first time, the gaming state after the power is turned on is a normal probability state, a non-time saving state, and a low base state. This gaming state is particularly referred to as a "low probability low base state". The low probability low base state is referred to as a "normal game state". In addition, the state in which the special game (big hit game) is being executed is referred to as a "special game state (big hit game state)". Further, a state controlled by at least one of a high probability state and a high base state is referred to as a "privilege gaming state".

In a high base state such as a high accuracy high base state or a low accuracy high base state, it is more advantageous to allow the game ball to enter the right game area 6R (see FIG. 4) by hitting right. This is because the electric support control makes it easier to open the electric chew 12D than in the low base state, and it is easier to win the second starting port 12 than to win the first starting port 11. .. Therefore, while passing the game ball through the gate 13 that triggers the normal symbol lottery, the game ball is hit right to win the second starting port 12. This makes it possible to obtain a large number of starting prizes (winning to the starting port) rather than hitting left. In this pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game is played by right-handed even during the jackpot game.

On the other hand, in the low base state, it is more advantageous to let the game ball enter the left game area 6L (see FIG. 4) by hitting the left side. Since the electric support control is not executed, it is difficult to open the electric chew 12D compared to the high base state, and it is easier to win the first starting port 11 than to win the second starting port 12. Because it has become. Therefore, a left-handed hit is made so that the game ball is won in the first starting port 11. This allows you to get more start-up prizes than hitting right.

10. Operation of Game Control Microcomputer 101 [Main Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 36 to 51. The counter, timer, flag, status, buffer, etc. that appear in the operation description of the game control microcomputer 101 are provided in the game RM 104. When the power of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on, the game control microcomputer 101 provided on the game control board 100 reads out and executes the main control main processing program shown in FIG. 36 from the game ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, the initial setting is first performed (step S001). In the initial settings, for example, stack settings, constant settings, interrupt time settings, game CPU 102 settings, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for interrupt time management) settings, various flags, status, counters, etc. Reset etc. The initial value of the flag is "0", that is, "OFF", the initial value of the status is "1", and the initial value of the counter is "0". The initial setting (S001) is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed after that.

Following the initial setting (S001), interrupts are disabled (S002), and normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003), various random number counter values shown in FIG. 32 are added by 1 and updated. When each random number counter value reaches the upper limit value, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than "0" or may be randomly changed. Further, each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated by using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is completed, interrupts are enabled (S004). While the interrupt is enabled, the main timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, at a cycle of 4 msec. That is, for example, it is executed in a cycle of 4 msec. Then, between the end of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and the start of the next main timer interrupt process (S005), various counters by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003). The value update process is repeatedly executed. If an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

[Main-side timer interrupt processing] Next, the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 37, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), the output process (S101) is first executed. In the output process (S101), in each process described below, commands and the like set in the output buffer provided in the game RM 104 of the game control board 100 are output to the effect control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

In the input process (S102) performed after the output process (S101), various sensors (first start port sensor 11a, second start port sensor 12a, gate sensor 13a, grand prize) mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine PY1. The detection signal detected by the mouth sensor 14a, the general winning mouth sensor 10a, etc. (see FIG. 15) is read and stored (set) in the output buffer of the gaming RM104 as prize ball information. Further, the detection signal from the lower plate full switch that detects the fullness of the lower plate 35 is also taken in and stored in the output buffer of the game RM104 as the lower plate full data.

The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) performed in the main control main process of FIG. 36. That is, the update processing of the various random number counter values (including the normal symbol random number counter value) shown in FIG. 32 includes the execution period of the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) and the other periods (main side timer interrupt processing (S005). After the end of), the period until the next main timer interrupt process (S005) is started) is performed.

Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the sensor detection process (S104), the normal operation process (S105), the special operation process (S106), and the specific area sensor detection process (S107), which will be described later, are executed. After that, other processing (S108) is executed to end the main timer interrupt processing (S005). As another process (S108), the second special figure holding indicator 83b is controlled to a display mode indicating the number based on the number of reserved balls in the special figure 2 described later, or based on the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 described later. The first special figure holding indicator 83a is controlled in a display mode indicating the number thereof. Then, until the next interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102, the processes of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main process are repeatedly executed (see FIG. 36), and when the interrupt pulse is input (after about 4 msec), The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed again. In the output process (S101) of the main side timer interrupt process (S005) executed again, the command or the like set in the output buffer of the game RM104 in the previous main side timer interrupt process (S005) is output.

[Sensor detection process] As shown in FIG. 38, in the sensor detection process (S104), first, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 13, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the gate sensor 13a ( S201). If the game ball has passed through the gate 13 (YES in S201), the gate passing process described later is performed (S202). On the other hand, if the game ball has not passed through the gate 13 (NO in S201), the game passes the gate passing process (S202) and proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the second starting port 12, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the second starting port sensor 12a (S203). If the game ball has not won in the second starting port 12 (NO in S203), the process proceeds to step S207, but if the game ball has won in the second starting port 12 (YES in S203), special figure 2 Whether or not the number of reserved balls (the number of the second special figure hold, specifically, the numerical value of the counter for counting the number of the second special figure hold provided in the game RM104) has reached "4" (upper limit storage number). Is determined (S204). Then, when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 has reached "4" (YES in S204), the process proceeds to step S207, but when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 is less than "4" (in S204). NO), special figure 2 Add 1 to the number of reserved balls (S205).

Subsequently, the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process is performed (S206). In the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S206), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS), the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC), and the fluctuation The pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) is acquired (that is, the random number value group shown in FIG. 32 (A) is acquired), and the acquired random number value is used as the current special figure in the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b. 2 Stored in the storage area of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b according to the number of reserved balls.

Subsequently, in the sensor detection process (S104), it is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the first start port 11, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the first start port sensor 11a (S207). If the game ball does not win in the first starting port 11 (NO in S207), the process ends, but if the game ball wins in the first starting port 11 (YES in S207), special figure 1 is suspended. Whether or not the number of balls (the number of the first special figure hold, specifically, the numerical value of the counter for counting the number of the first special figure hold provided in the game RM104) has reached "4" (upper limit storage number). Judge (S208). Then, when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 reaches "4" (YES in S208), the process ends, but when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is less than "4" (NO in S208). ), Add "1" to the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 (S209).

Subsequently, the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process (S210) is performed to complete this process. In the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process (S210), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A) and the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) are the same as in the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S206). , Acquire the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC) and the fluctuation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (that is, acquire the random number value group shown in FIG. 32 (A)), and obtain the acquired random number values. It is stored in the storage area of the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a according to the current number of special figure 1 reserved balls in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a.

[Gate Passing Process] As shown in FIG. 39, in the gate passing process (S202), in the gate passing process (S202), a counter that counts the number of normal symbol holding balls (the number of normal symbol holdings, specifically, the number of normal symbol holdings provided in the game RM104). (Value of) is 4 or more (S301), and if the number of normal symbol holding balls is 4 or more (YES in S301), the process ends. On the other hand, if the number of normal symbol reserved balls is not 4 or more (NO in S301), "1" is added to the number of normal symbol reserved balls (S302), and the normal symbol random number acquisition process is performed (S303). In the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S303), the normal symbol random number counter value (value of label-TRND-H, see FIG. 32 (B)) is acquired, and the acquired random number value is used as the normal symbol hold storage unit 106 of the game RM104. Of these, it is stored in the storage area according to the current number of reserved balls for ordinary symbols.

[Normal operation processing] The game control microcomputer 101 performs normal operation processing (S105) after sensor detection processing (S104) (see FIG. 37). As shown in FIG. 40, in the normal operation process (S105), first, it is determined whether or not the electric chew 12D is in operation (S401). If the electric chew 12D is not in operation (NO in S401), it is subsequently determined whether or not the stop display of the normal symbol is in progress (S402). If the normal symbol is not displayed as stopped (NO in S402), it is subsequently determined whether or not the normal symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (S403). Unless the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is being displayed (NO in S403), it is subsequently determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is "0" (S404). If the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is "0" (YES in S404), this process ends.

If the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is not "0" in step S404 (NO in S404), the hit determination process is performed (S405). In the hit determination process (S405), the normal symbol random number counter value (value of label-TRND-H) stored in the normal symbol hold storage unit 106 is read out and based on the normal symbol hit determination table shown in FIG. 33 (C). Judge whether it is a hit or not. Then, a symbol determination process is performed in which the normal symbol stop symbol data according to the result of the hit determination is set in a predetermined storage area of the game RM104 (S406). That is, in the symbol determination process (S406), if it is "missing", the data corresponding to the "normal drawing lost symbol" is set, and if it is "hit", the data corresponding to the "normal winning symbol" is set.

Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 performs a normal symbol fluctuation time determination process (S407). In the normal symbol fluctuation time determination process (S407), referring to the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection table shown in FIG. 33 (D), if the game state is a time saving state, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 1 second. Select a pattern. On the other hand, if the gaming state is a non-time saving state, a normal symbol variation pattern having a normal symbol variation time of 30 seconds is selected.

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of normally symbol reserved balls by 1 (S408). Then, the storage location (storage area) of each normal figure hold in the normal figure hold storage unit 106 is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the storage corresponding to the fourth hold in the normal figure hold storage unit 106 is performed. Clear the area (the storage area farthest from the read side) (S409). In this way, the general map hold is digested in the order in which it was held. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 starts the variation display of the normal symbol in the normal symbol variation pattern selected in step S407 (S410). Along with this, a command for starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol is set in order to notify the effect control board 120 of the start of the fluctuation of the normal symbol.

If the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is being displayed in step S403 described above (YES in S403), it is subsequently determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the normal symbol has elapsed (S411), and if not, the process ends. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S411), the variable display of the normal symbol is stopped at the display result (normal hit symbol or normal lost symbol) according to the judgment result of the normal symbol random number (S412). Then, the normal symbol fluctuation stop command for notifying the fluctuation stop of the normal symbol is set on the effect control board 120 (S413), and the stop time of the normal symbol is set (S414) to end this process.

If the stop display of the normal symbol is being displayed in step S402 described above (YES in S402), then it is determined whether or not the stop time of the normal symbol set in step S414 has elapsed (S415), and the process has elapsed. If not, the process ends. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S415), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol stop symbol data of the normal hit symbol is set (S416), and if it is not the data of the normal hit symbol (that is, if it is not a hit). (NO in S416)), this process is completed. On the other hand, if it is the data of the normal hit symbol (that is, if it is a hit (YES in S416)), the open pattern of the electric chew 12D is set (S417). Specifically, if it is in the time saving state, the opening pattern in the time saving state (see the electric chew opening TBL2 in FIG. 35) is set as the opening pattern of the electric chew 12D. On the other hand, if it is in the non-time saving state, the opening pattern in the non-time saving state (see the electric chew opening TBL1 in FIG. 35) is set as the opening pattern of the electric chew 12D. Then, the electric chew 12D is operated according to the opening pattern set in step S417 (S418).

Further, if the electric chew 12D is operating in step S401 described above (YES in S401), it is subsequently determined whether or not the operating time of the electric chew 12D has elapsed (S419), and if not. Finish the process. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S419), the operation of the electric chew 12D is terminated (S420).

[Special operation processing] The game control microcomputer 101 performs a special operation processing (S106) following the normal operation processing (S105) (see FIG. 37). As shown in FIG. 41, in the special operation process (S106), the process related to the special figure display 81 and the grand prize device 14D is divided into four stages, and "special operation status 1, 2, 3, 4" is set in each stage. Is assigned. Then, when the "special operation status" is "1" (YES in S1301), the game control microcomputer 101 performs the special symbol standby process (S1302), and the "special operation status" is "2". In the case (NO in S1301, YES in S1303), special symbol change processing (S1304) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "3" (NO in both S1301 and S1303, YES in S1305). , The special symbol determination process (S1306) is performed, and when the "special operation status" is "4" (all of S1301, S1303, S1305 are NO), the special electric accessory process (S1307) is performed. The special operation status is "1" by default.

[Special symbol standby process] As shown in FIG. 42, in the special symbol standby process (S1302), first, whether or not the number of reserved balls in the second starting port 12 (that is, the number of reserved balls in special figure 2) is "0". Is determined (S1401). Special figure 2 When the number of reserved balls is "0" (YES in S1401), that is, when there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to winning the second starting port 12, the first starting It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls in the mouth 11 (that is, the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1) is "0" (S1407). Then, when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is also "0" (YES in S1407), that is, when there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the first starting port 11, the customer Determines whether the wait flag is ON (S1415). If it is ON (YES in S1415), this process is completed, and if it is not ON (NO in S1415), the customer waiting command is set in the output buffer of the game RM104 (S1416), and the customer waiting flag is turned ON (S1416). S1417), this process is completed.

When the number of reserved balls in special figure 2 is not "0" in step S1401 (NO in S1401), that is, the memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second starting port 12 (holding information in special figure 2). ) Is one or more, the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1403), which will be described later, are performed. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of reserved balls in FIG. 2 by 1 (S1404). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the first reservation in the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b is performed. Clear the storage area corresponding to (S1405). Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1406), and proceeds to step S1413. In the special figure 2 variation start process (S1406), the special operation status is set to "2" and the variation start command is set in the output buffer of the game RM104 to start the variation display of the second special symbol. The fluctuation start command (also referred to as the special figure 2 fluctuation start command) set in the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1406) is the special figure stop symbol data set in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402). Information and information on the fluctuation pattern set in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1403) (information including information on the fluctuation time) are included.

Further, when the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 is "0" but the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is not "0" (YES in S1401 and NO in S1407), that is, there is no reserved information in Special Figure 2, but the number When there is one or more memories (holding information of special figure 1) of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of 1 starting port 11, the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) and the special figure described later 1 Perform the variation pattern selection process (S1409). After that, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of reserved balls in FIG. 1 by 1 (S1410). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the fourth hold in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a is performed. Clears the storage area corresponding to (the storage area farthest from the read side) (S1411). In this way, the first special figure hold is digested in the order in which it was held. Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1412), and proceeds to step S1413. In the special figure 1 variation start process (S1412), the special operation status is set to "2" and the variation start command is set in the output buffer of the game RM104 to start the variation display of the first special symbol. The fluctuation start command (also referred to as the special figure 1 fluctuation start command) set in the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1412) is the special figure stop symbol data set in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408). Information and information on the fluctuation pattern set in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1409) (information including information on the fluctuation time) are included.

When the process proceeds to step S1413, it is determined whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON, and if it is ON, the customer waiting flag is turned OFF (S1414), and the process is completed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the variable display of the special symbol based on the first special figure hold is performed only when the second special figure hold is "0" (when YES in S1401). That is, the digestion of the second special figure hold is executed in preference to the digestion of the first special figure hold.

[Special Figure 2 Big Hit Judgment Process (Special Figure 1 Big Hit Judgment Process)] Special Figure 2 Big Hit Judgment Process (S1402) and Special Figure 1 Big Hit Judgment Process (S1408) are based on FIG. 43 because the processing flow is the same. I will explain them all together. As shown in FIG. 43, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) or the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), first, the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A value) is read out as the determination value (S1501). ). Specifically, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402), the first storage area (that is, the storage area corresponding to the first storage area of the second special figure reservation) of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b of the game RM104 is set. Read the stored jackpot random number counter value. Further, in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), it is stored in the first storage area (that is, the storage area corresponding to the first one of the first special figure hold) of the first special figure hold storage unit 105a of the game RM104. Read the jackpot random number counter value.

Next, the jackpot determination table (FIG. 33 (A)) is set (S1502). Next, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON, that is, whether or not it is in a high probability state (S1503). Then, if it is not a high probability state (NO in S1503), that is, if it is a normal probability state (non-high probability state), the table for the non-high probability state (big hit judgment) in the jackpot determination table (FIG. 33 (A)). It is determined whether or not the value is a big hit based on "0" to "204") (S1504). On the other hand, if it is a high probability state (YES in S1503), is it a big hit based on the table for the high probability state (big hit judgment value is "0" to "655") in the big hit judgment table (FIG. 33 (A))? Determine if not (S1505).

If the result of the jackpot judgment (S1504, S1505) is "big hit", the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS value) is read out, and the hit type is determined based on the hit type judgment table shown in FIG. (S1506). After determining the hit type (S1506), the jackpot flag is turned ON (S1507), and the special figure stop symbol data (see FIG. 31) according to the hit type is set in the hit type buffer provided in the game RM104. (S1508) Finish the process. On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot determination (S1504, S1505) is "missing", the special symbol stop symbol data (01H) corresponding to the losing symbol is set and the process (S1508) is completed.

[Special Figure 2 Fluctuation Pattern Selection Process (Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Pattern Selection Process)] Special Figure 2 Fluctuation Pattern Selection Process (S1403) and Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Pattern Selection Process (S1409) have the same processing flow. This will be collectively described with reference to FIGS. 44 and 45. As shown in FIG. 44, in the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) or the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), first, it is determined whether or not the game state is the time saving state (whether or not the time saving flag is ON). (S1601).

If it is not in the time saving state (NO in S1601), that is, if it is in the non-time saving state, it is subsequently determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1602). If it is ON (YES in S1602), the fluctuation pattern random number counter value is referred to in the non-time saving state medium jackpot normal table (the part corresponding to the non-time saving state and jackpot in the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 34). The variation pattern is selected based on (label-TRND-T1 value) (S1603). As shown in FIG. 34, once the fluctuation pattern is determined, the fluctuation time is also determined.

In the variable production of the pachinko gaming machine PY1, SP (super reach) can be executed in addition to the do-miss and normal reach. The do-haze is a variable effect in which the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is stopped and displayed at different stitches (for example, "458"). The normal reach is a variable effect in which the remaining one effect symbol that continues to be displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed without the development effect being executed after the above-mentioned reach is formed. The SP reach is a variation effect in which the development effect is executed after the above-mentioned reach is formed, and the variation time after the reach is longer than that of the normal reach. Thus, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is selected so that the do-miss, normal reach, and SP reach can be executed.

In the SP reach, the distribution rates of various fluctuation patterns are set so that the winning expectation (expectation for the jackpot winning) is higher than the normal reach (see FIG. 34). Therefore, the player can grasp that the winning expectation is higher than the normal reach by looking at the SP reach with a long fluctuation time. Here, the types of SP reach include weak SP reach A, weak SP reach B, and strong SP reach. The distribution rates of various fluctuation patterns are set in the order of weak SP reach B ⇒ weak SP reach A ⇒ strong SP reach so that the expectation of winning the jackpot is high. Therefore, the player can grasp that the winning expectation is very high by looking at the strong SP reach, and can grasp that the winning expectation is high to some extent by looking at the weak SP reach A, and the weak SP reach. If you look at B, you can see that the expectation of winning is not very high.

In step S1602 shown in FIG. 44, if the jackpot flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the reach random number counter value (value of label-TRND-RC) is the reach establishment random number value (S1604). As shown in FIG. 33B, the reach establishment random number values are "0" to "13" in the non-time saving state and "0" to "5" in the time saving state. That is, the time-saving state is less likely to reach when lost than the non-time-saving state. This is to speed up the digestion speed of the special figure hold by allowing more non-reach loss with a short fluctuation time to be selected in the time saving state.

When the reach random number counter value is the reach establishment random number value (YES in S1604), that is, in the case of the loss with reach, the loss table with reach during the non-time saving state (the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 34 is not The fluctuation pattern is selected based on the fluctuation pattern random number counter value with reference to the time-saving state and the part corresponding to the loss with reach (S1605).

On the other hand, when the reach random number counter value is not the reach establishment random number value (NO in S1604), that is, in the case of the loss without reach, the loss table without reach during the non-time saving state (of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 34). The fluctuation pattern is selected based on the fluctuation pattern random number counter value with reference to the non-time saving state (the part corresponding to the loss without reach) (S1606). At the time of this loss without reach, the function of shortening fluctuation according to the number of reserved balls works. That is, when the number of reserved balls of the special symbol is "3" or "4", a fluctuation pattern having a shorter fluctuation time than when the number of reserved balls of the special symbol is "0" to "2" is selected. (See FIG. 34).

Further, in step S1601, when it is determined that the gaming state is in the time saving state (YES in S1601), as shown in FIG. 45, the special figure variation pattern determination table to be referred to is set to the table in the time saving state (FIG. 34). Processing (S1607 to S1611) is performed in the same flow as in steps S1602 to S1606 above, except that the part corresponding to the time saving state in the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table).

That is, if it is a big hit, the fluctuation pattern is selected based on the fluctuation pattern random number counter value with reference to the portion corresponding to the jackpot in the time saving state of FIG. 34 (S1608). If there is a loss with reach, the fluctuation pattern is selected based on the fluctuation pattern random number counter value with reference to the portion corresponding to the loss with reach during the time saving state in FIG. 34 (S1610). Further, in the case of loss without reach, the variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value with reference to the portion corresponding to the loss without reach during the time saving state in FIG. 34 (S1611).

In addition, in the special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table in the time saving state (the part corresponding to the time saving state in the special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table shown in FIG. 34), the function of shortening fluctuation according to the number of reserved balls at the time of loss without reach is provided. It works when the number of reserved balls is "2" to "4". That is, the shortening variation is more likely to be selected than in the non-time saving state. Further, the fluctuation time as the shortened fluctuation is shorter in the time-saving state than in the non-time-saving state. That is, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table in the time saving state is a table in which the fluctuation time is shorter than the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table in the non-time saving state.

After selecting the variation pattern as described above, as shown in FIG. 44, the selected variation pattern is set (S1612), and the present process is completed. The fluctuation pattern information set in step S1612 is included in the fluctuation start command set in step S1406 or S1412 in the special symbol standby process (S1302), and is sent to the effect control board 120 by the output process (S101).

[Process during special symbol change] As shown in FIG. 46, in the special symbol change process (S1304), first, the change time of the special symbol (the change time determined according to the change pattern selected in step S1403 or S1409, FIG. 34). (See) to determine if it has passed (S1801). If it has not passed (NO in S1801), this process ends immediately. As a result, the variable display of the special symbol is continued.

On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has elapsed (YES in S1801), the fluctuation stop command is set (S1802), and the special operation status is set to "3" (S1803). Then, after performing other processing such as stopping the variable display of the special symbol at the symbol (big hit symbol or lost symbol) corresponding to the set special symbol stop symbol data (S1804), this process is terminated.

[Special symbol determination process] As shown in FIG. 47, in the special symbol determination process (S1306), first, the stop time of the special symbol (stop time determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected in step S1403 or S1409, see FIG. 34). Determines if has passed (S1901). If it has not passed (NO in S1901), this process ends immediately. As a result, the stop display of the special symbol is continued. On the other hand, if the stop time has elapsed (YES in S1901), the game state management process described later is performed (S1902).

Next, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1903). If the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S1903), an opening pattern (see FIG. 31 for details) according to the type of jackpot won is set (S1904). At this time, the value of the round counter that counts the number of unit opening games (round games) executed during the jackpot game is set to the number of rounds according to the type of winning jackpot. It should be noted that the set of open patterns (set of data according to the open pattern) may be performed for each round.

The game control microcomputer 101 performs a game state reset process following step S1904 (S1905). In the game state reset process (S1905), first, if the probability change flag is ON, the probability change flag is turned OFF, and if the time reduction flag is ON, the probability change flag is turned OFF. That is, during the execution of the jackpot game, it is controlled to a non-high probability state and a non-time saving state. After that, in order to start the jackpot game, the jackpot opening command is set (S1906) and the jackpot game opening is started (S1907). Then, the special operation status is set to "4" (S1908), and this process is completed.

If the jackpot flag is not ON in step S1903 (NO in S1903), the jackpot game will not start, so the special operation status is set to "1" (S1909), and this process ends.

[Game state management process] As shown in FIG. 48, in the game state management process (S1902), first, it is determined whether or not the probability change flag is ON (S2001). If it is ON (YES in S2001), the value of the probability variation counter that counts the number of fluctuations of the special symbol executed during the high probability state is decremented by 1 (S2002), and whether the value of the probability variation counter is "0" or not. Judge (S2003). If it is "0" (YES in S2003), the probability change flag is turned off (S2004), and the process proceeds to step S2005. If the determination result in step S2001 or S2003 is NO, the process immediately proceeds to step S2009.

In step S2005, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is ON. If it is ON (YES in S2005), the value of the time reduction counter that counts the number of fluctuations of the special symbol executed during the time reduction state is decremented by 1 (S2006), and it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is "0". (S2007). If it is "0" (YES in S2007), the time saving flag is turned off (S2008), and the process proceeds to step S2009. If the determination result in step S2005 or S2007 is NO, the process immediately proceeds to step S2009. In step S2009, a game state specification command including information on the current game state (information on whether the probability change flag and the time reduction flag are ON or OFF), information on the value of the probability change counter and the value of the time reduction counter, etc. is used for the game. Set in the output buffer of RM104 and finish this process.

[Special electric accessory processing (big hit game)] The special electric accessory processing is a process for executing a big hit game. As shown in FIG. 49, in the special electric accessory processing (S1307), first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot end flag is ON (S2701). The jackpot end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the jackpot winning device (big winning device 14D) has been completed in the jackpot game being executed.

If the jackpot end flag is not ON (NO in S2701), it is determined whether or not the jackpot 14 is open (that is, whether the jackpot device 14D is open) (S2702). If it is not open (NO in S2702), it is time to open the big prize opening 14, that is, whether the opening time of the jackpot has passed and it is time to start opening the big prize opening 14. , Determine whether the time of the interval between openings has elapsed and the time to start the next opening has been reached (S2703).

If the determination result in step S2703 is NO, the process ends as it is. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S2703 is YES, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game currently being executed is a jackpot game based on the probability variation jackpot (see FIG. 17) (S2704). If it is not a probabilistic jackpot (NO in S2704), the process proceeds to step S2707, but if it is a probabilistic jackpot (YES in S2704), it is determined whether or not it is time to start the 9th round that can pass through the specific area 16. (S2705). If it is not the timing to start the 9th round (NO in S2705), the process proceeds to step S2707 as it is. On the other hand, if it is the timing to start the 9th R (YES in S2705), the V validity period setting process is performed (S2706).

In the V validity period setting process (S2706), it is determined that the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a is valid for a few seconds during the opening of the large winning opening 14 and after the closing of the large winning opening 14 at the 9th round of the probability variation jackpot. Set to V validity period. In this embodiment, a period other than this (including when the jackpot game is not executed) is set as a V invalid period in which the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a is determined to be invalid. Here, determining that the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a is valid means turning on the V flag based on the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a (see the specific area sensor detection process described later (see FIG. 43). ))That's what it means. Further, determining that the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a is invalid means that the V flag is not turned on even if the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a is detected. The reason why the V validity period includes several seconds after the closing of the large winning opening 14 is that the game ball may win the big winning opening 14 immediately before the closing of the large winning opening 14. is there.

That is, in this embodiment, the V flag is turned on only when the V passage (passage of the game ball to the specific area 16) is detected during the V valid period, and the V flag is turned on when the V passage outside the V valid period (during the V invalid period) is detected. Is not turned on. When the V flag is ON, the probability variation flag is ON, that is, the game state after the big hit game is set to a high probability state (game state setting process described later (see FIG. 50)). By doing so, the V flag is not turned on based on the passage of V due to fraudulent activity, that is, the high probability state is not set.

In step S2707, the large winning opening (large winning opening 14) is opened according to the opening pattern (see FIG. 31) according to the type of jackpot. The distribution member 16k has always been moving in a constant motion from the start of the round game of the first round. In the probability variation jackpot opening pattern (V long opening pattern), the AT opening / closing member 14k is opened so that the game ball that has won the big winning opening 14 can pass through the specific area 16 with a margin in the ninth round. On the other hand, in the normal jackpot opening pattern (V short opening pattern), the distribution member is prevented from passing through the specific area 16 even if the game ball wins the big winning opening 14 in the ninth round. The opening timing of the AT opening / closing member 14k for the operation of 16k is set.

Subsequently, in step S2708, the round designation command transmission determination process is performed, and this process is completed. In the round designation command transmission determination process (S2708), it is determined whether or not the opening of the big winning opening 14 in step S2703 is the first opening in one round game, and if so, the opening of the running big hit game. A round designation command containing information on the number of rounds is set in the output buffer of the game RM104. In this embodiment, the large winning opening 14 is not opened a plurality of times during one round game. Therefore, in this step S2708, the round specification command is always set.

In step S2702 of the special electric accessory processing (S1307), if the large winning opening 14 is being opened, it is determined whether or not the closing condition of the large winning opening 14 is satisfied (S2709). In this embodiment, the closing condition is that the number of winnings in the large winning opening 14 in the round game reaches the specified maximum winning number (8 per 1R in this embodiment), or the time for closing the large winning opening 14. (That is, a predetermined opening time (see FIG. 17) has elapsed since the opening of the large winning opening 14) is satisfied. Then, if the closing condition of the large winning opening 14 is not satisfied (NO in S2709), the process is completed.

On the other hand, when the closing condition of the large winning opening 14 is satisfied (YES in S2709), the large winning opening 14 is closed (closed) (S2710). Then, it is determined whether or not one round game (round interval) has been completed (S2711). If it is not finished (NO in S2711), the process is finished. On the other hand, when the round game ends (YES in S2711), the value of the round counter is decremented by 1 (S2712), and it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter is "0" (S2713). If it is not "0" (NO in S2713), the process is finished as it is to start the next round game.

On the other hand, if it is "0" (YES in S2713), the jackpot ending command is set (S2714) and the jackpot ending is started (S2715) as the jackpot ending process for ending the jackpot game. Then, the jackpot end flag is set (S2716), and the process ends.

If the jackpot end flag is ON in step S2701 (YES in S2701), the final round has ended, so it is determined whether or not the ending time of the jackpot game has elapsed (S2717), and the ending time has elapsed. If not (NO in S2717), this process ends. On the other hand, if the ending time has passed (YES in S2717), the jackpot end flag is turned off (S2718). Then, the game state setting process described later is performed (S2719). Then, the jackpot flag is turned off (S2720). Then, the special operation status is set to "1" (S2721), and this process is completed.

[Game state setting process] As shown in FIG. 50, in the game state setting process (S2719), first, it is determined whether the V flag is ON (whether the V prize is won during the V valid period) (S2801). If it is ON (YES in S2801), the probability change flag is turned ON (S2802) and the time saving flag is turned ON (S2803). As a result, it will be controlled to a highly accurate time saving state after the big hit game. Subsequently, "160" is set in the probability variation counter (S2804), "160" is set in the time reduction counter (S2805), and the process proceeds to step S2808. As a result, the number of STs is 160 and the number of time reductions is 160, which is controlled to a highly accurate time reduction state.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2801 that the V flag is not ON (NO in S2801), the time saving flag is turned ON (S2806). That is, at this time, the probability change flag is not turned ON. As a result, it will be controlled to a low probability time saving state after the big hit game. Then, "100" is set in the time reduction counter (S2807), and the process proceeds to step S2808. That is, as a result, the time reduction is controlled to a low probability time reduction state of 100 times.

In step S2808, the game control microcomputer 101 specifies the game state including the game state information (ON or OFF of the probability change flag, ON or OFF of the time reduction flag, the value of the probability change counter, the value of the time reduction counter). Set the command in the output buffer of the game RM104. In this way, the game state setting process (S2719) is completed.

[Specific Area Sensor Detection Process] As shown in FIG. 51, in the specific area sensor detection process (S107), first, it is determined whether or not the game ball is detected by the specific area sensor 16a (S3001). In the present embodiment, the detection of the game ball by the specific area sensor 16a is regarded as when the distribution member 16k is controlled to the first state shown in FIG. 5A. If there is no detection in step S3001 (NO in S3001), this process ends, but if there is detection (YES in S3001), it is determined whether or not the V is valid (S3002). If it is not during the V valid period (NO in S3002), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is during the V valid period (YES in S3002), the V flag is turned ON (S3003). Then, the V-pass command is set in the output buffer of the game RM104 (S3004), and this process is completed. The V-pass command is a command for causing the effect control board 120 to notify the V-pass.

11. Operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 [Sub-control main process] Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 59. The counter, timer, flag, status, buffer, etc. that appear in the operation description of the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RM124. When the power of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the effect control board 120 reads out and executes the sub-control main processing program shown in FIG. 52 from the effect ROM 123. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, the CPU initialization process is first performed (S4001). In the CPU initialization process (S4001), stack setting, constant setting, effect CPU 122 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are set.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the power cutoff signal is ON and the content of the effect RM124 is normal (S4002). If the determination result is NO, the effect RM124 is initialized (S4003), and the process proceeds to step S4004. On the other hand, if the determination result is YES (YES in S4002), the process proceeds to step S4004 without initializing the effect RM124. That is, if the power off signal is not ON, or if the contents of the production RM124 are not normal even if the power off signal is ON (NO in S4002), the production RM124 is initialized, but the power off signal is generated due to a power failure or the like. Is turned on, but if the contents of the RM124 for production are kept normal (YES in S4002), the RM124 for production is not initialized. If the effect RM124 is initialized, the values of various flags, statuses, counters, and the like are reset. Further, steps S4001 to S4003 are executed only once after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

In step S4004, interrupts are disabled. Then, the random number seed update process is executed (S4005). In the random number seed update process (S4005), the values of various random number counters for determining the effect are updated. The random numbers for determining the effect include random numbers for determining the effect symbols for determining the effect symbols, random numbers for determining the variable effect pattern lottery for determining the variable effect pattern, random numbers for determining the advance notice effect for determining various advance notice effects, and the like. There is. The random number update method can be the same as the random number update process performed by the game control board 100 described above. Instead of adding the random numbers one by one at the time of updating, it may be added by two. This also applies to the random number update process performed by the game control board 100 described above.

When the random number seed update process (S4005) is completed, the command transmission process is executed (S4006). In the command transmission process (S4006), various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RM124 of the effect control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command executes various effects (variation effect, opening effect associated with the jackpot game, round effect, ending effect, etc.) using the rear liquid crystal display device 50 and the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 according to the command. To do. As the image control board 140 executes various effects, the effect control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 610 via the sound control board 161 and outputs a sound from the speaker 610 via the sound control board 161 or outputs a panel lamp 54 or a frame lamp via the sub drive board 162. The 212 is made to emit light, and the first board movable body 55k, the second board movable body 56k, and the effect button 40k are driven. The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently enables interrupts (S4007). After that, steps S4004 to S4007 are looped. While the interrupt is enabled, the receive interrupt process (S4008), the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4009), and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4010) can be executed.

[Reception interrupt processing] The reception interrupt processing (S4008) is performed based on the strobe signal (STB signal) sent from the game control board 100 being input to the external INT input unit of the effect control microcomputer 121. That is, the reception interrupt process (S4008) is not performed unless the strobe signal is input to the external INT input unit of the effect control microcomputer 121. As shown in FIG. 53, in the reception interrupt process (S4008), various commands transmitted from the game control board 100 are stored in the reception buffer of the effect RM124 (S4101). This receive interrupt process (S4008) is a process that is executed in preference to other interrupt processes (S4009, S4010).

[1 ms timer interrupt process] The 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4009) is executed every time an interrupt pulse having a 1 msec cycle is input to the effect control board 120. As shown in FIG. 54, in the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4009), first, the input process (S4201) is performed. In the input process (S4201), switch data (edge data and level data) is created based on the detection signals from the effect button detection sensor 40a (see FIG. 30) and the select button detection sensor 42a.

Subsequently, the lamp data output process (S4202) is performed. In the lamp data output processing (S4202), the lamp data created by other processing (S4305) in the 10ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) described later is used as a subdrive in order to make the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 212 emit light at a timing suitable for the production. Output to the board 162. That is, the panel lamp 54 and the frame lamp 212 are made to emit light in a predetermined light emitting mode according to the lamp data.

Next, drive control processing is performed (S4203). In the drive control process (S4203), drive data is created and output in order to drive the first board movable body 55k, the second board movable body 56k, and the production button 40k at the timing suitable for the production such as SP reach and jackpot production. To do. That is, according to the drive data, the first board movable body 55k, the second board movable body 56k, and the effect button 40k are driven in a predetermined operation mode. Therefore, for example, when the second board movable body 56k is vibrated (see FIG. 15B), drive data for vibrating the second board movable body 56k between the operating position and the swinging position is created. Is output to the sub drive board 162. Further, when the button fanning effect is executed, drive data for vibrating the effect button 40k in the first vibration mode (see FIG. 15A) is created and output to the subdrive board 162. Further, when the button vibration effect is executed, drive data for vibrating the effect button 40k in the second vibration mode (see FIG. 15B) is created and output to the sub drive board 162. Further, when the interlocking vibration effect is executed, the drive data for vibrating the second board movable body 56k between the operating position and the swing position and the drive for vibrating the effect button 40k in the second vibration mode. Data is created and these are output to the subdrive board 162.

After the drive control process (S4203), the watchdog timer process (S4204) for resetting the watchdog timer is performed, and this process is completed.

[10 ms timer interrupt process] The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4010) is executed every time an interrupt pulse having a cycle of 10 msec is input to the effect control board 120. As shown in FIG. 55, in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4010), first, the received command analysis process described later is performed (S4301).

Subsequently, the switch state acquisition process of storing the switch data created in the input process (S4201) of the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4009) as the switch data for the 10 ms timer interrupt process in the effect RM124 is performed (S4302). Then, a switch process for setting the display contents of the display screen 50a based on the switch data stored in the switch state acquisition process (S4302) is performed (S4303).

Therefore, in the switch processing (S4303), for example, when the player presses the effect button 40k during the button press promotion effect (see FIG. 22B) in the situation where the jackpot is won, the switch by the press operation is performed. Based on the data, the setting for displaying the winning image WI (see FIG. 22 (C-1)) is made on the display screen 50a. On the other hand, when the player presses the effect button 40k during the button press promotion effect (see FIG. 22B) in the lost situation, the defeat image is displayed on the display screen 50a based on the switch data obtained by the press operation. The setting for displaying LO (see FIG. 22 (C-2)) will be made.

Subsequently, voice control processing (S4304) is performed. In the voice control process (S4304), voice data (data for controlling the output of voice from the speaker 610) is created, output to the voice control board 161 and time management of voice production is performed. As a result, the sound that matches the effect to be executed is output from the speaker 610. For example, when the interlocking vibration effect is executed (see FIG. 22A), voice data for outputting the voice "dokudokudoku" is created and output to the voice control board 161. Further, when the winning notification effect is executed (see FIG. 22 (C-1)), voice data for outputting the sound effect "Pyrolean" is created and output to the voice control board 161. Further, when the loss suggestion effect is executed (see FIG. 22 (C-2)), voice data for outputting the sound effect "Hugh" is created and output to the voice control board 161.

After the voice control process of step S4304, other processes such as updating random numbers for various effects are executed (S4305), and this process is completed.

[Received Command Analysis Process] As shown in FIG. 56, in the received command analysis process (S4301), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not a game state designation command has been received from the game control board 100 (S4401). ), If it is received, the mode status setting process is performed (S4402). In the mode status setting process (S4402), the received game state specification command is analyzed, and the mode status value is set based on the game state information included in the game state specification command. The value of the mode status is set to "1" in the normal gaming state, set to "2" in the high accuracy time saving state, and set to "3" in the low accuracy time saving state. In this way, the effect control microcomputer 121 can grasp the game state at the present time.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a fluctuation start command (special figure 1 fluctuation start command or special figure 2 fluctuation start command) has been received from the game control board 100 (S4403), and if so, has received it. The variable effect start processing described later is performed (S4404).

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a fluctuation stop command (special figure 1 fluctuation stop command or special figure 2 fluctuation stop command) has been received from the game control board 100 (S4405), and if so, Performs the variable production end processing (S4406). In the variation effect end processing (S4406), the variation stop command is analyzed, and the variation effect end command for ending the variation effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RM124 based on the analysis result.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not an opening command has been received from the game control board 100 (S4407), and if so, performs an opening effect selection process (S4408). In the opening effect selection process (S4408), the opening command is analyzed, and the pattern (content) of the opening effect to be executed during the opening of the jackpot game is selected based on the analysis result. Then, an opening effect start command for starting the opening effect with the selected opening effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the effect RM124.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a round designation command has been received from the game control board 100 (S4409), and if so, performs a round effect selection process (S4410). In the round effect selection process (S4410), the round designation command is analyzed, and the pattern (content) of the round effect to be executed during the round game of the jackpot game is selected based on the analysis result. Then, a round effect start command for starting the round effect with the selected round effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the effect RM124.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not an ending command has been received from the game control board 100 (S4411), and if so, performs an ending effect selection process (S4412). In the ending effect selection process (S4412), the ending command is analyzed, and the pattern (content) of the ending effect to be executed during the ending of the jackpot game is selected based on the analysis result. Then, an ending effect start command for starting the ending effect with the selected ending effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the effect RM124.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a process based on a reception command other than the above command as another process (S4413) (for example, a customer wait effect indicating that the variable effect is not executed based on the reception of the customer wait command). Processing for performing V passage notification effect indicating that V has passed based on the reception of the V passage command, processing for performing the normal symbol variation effect based on the reception of the normal symbol variation start command. Process) is performed, and the received command analysis process (S4301) is completed.

[Variation effect start process] As shown in FIG. 57, in the variation effect start process (S4404), the effect control microcomputer 121 first analyzes the variation start command (S4501). The fluctuation start command includes information on the special figure stop symbol data set in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process and the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (see FIG. 43), the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process, and the special figure 2 variation pattern. Information on the fluctuation pattern set in the selection process (see FIGS. 44 and 45), information for designating the current gaming state, and the like are included. It should be noted that the information acquired by the effect control microcomputer 121 here can be appropriately used in the processing to be executed thereafter.

Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 refers to the mode status value currently set (S4502). Subsequently, in the variable effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to be finally stopped and displayed are selected (S4503). Specifically, a random number for determining the effect symbol is acquired, and one table is selected from a plurality of tables classified according to the presence or absence of reach based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command. Then, the effect symbol is selected by determining the acquired random number for determining the effect symbol using the selected table. As a result, the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 that are finally stopped and displayed (for example, "777" or the like) is determined.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 executes a variable effect pattern selection process described later (S4504). After that, the effect control microcomputer 121 executes the advance notice effect selection process described later (S4505). After that, the variable effect start command for starting the selected effect symbol, the variable effect pattern, and the advance notice effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RM124 (S4506), and this process is completed. When the variation effect start command set in step S4606 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4006), the display screen (display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, display screen of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7). In 7a), the variation effect synchronized with the variation display of the special symbol is started.

[Variation effect pattern selection process] As shown in FIG. 58, in the variation effect pattern selection process (S4504), the effect control microcomputer 121 first acquires a variation effect pattern lottery random number (S4601). The random number of the variable effect pattern lottery takes a value in the range of 0 to 99. Then, based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern indicates the execution of battle reach (S4602). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation patterns are P4 to P7 and P24 to P26.

If the variation pattern indicates the execution of battle reach (YES in S4602), then it is determined whether or not the variation pattern indicates the execution of the battle reach development effect (S4603). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation patterns are P4 to P6 and P24 to P26 (see FIG. 34). If the variation pattern indicates the execution of the battle reach development effect (YES in S4603), select the variation effect pattern using the battle reach development effect variation effect pattern selection table (S4604), and then in S4505. move on.

In this embodiment, in step S4604, a variation effect pattern for executing the battle reach development effect (see FIG. 34) is selected based on the table classified according to the variation pattern to be the battle reach development effect. In the battle reach development production, the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L2 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L1) + enlargement suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M1) + second half normal suggestion image (second half normal suggestion image) It is set to suggest that the expectation of winning the jackpot when N1) is executed is the highest. As a result, in the case of a big hit, the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P4 is selected and the battle reach development effect is easily executed, and in the case of a loss, the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P24 is selected and the battle reach development effect is performed. Is set to be difficult to execute. In this way, the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L2 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L1) + enlarged suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M1) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N1) is executed. In this case, it is possible to expect the winning of the jackpot (winning notification effect) most among the variable effect patterns in which the battle reach development effect is executed (see FIG. 34).

Further, in the battle reach development production, the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L2) + enlarged suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M2) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N2) is executed. It is set to suggest that the expectation of winning the jackpot in the case is the second highest. As a result, when the hit is larger than the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P6, the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P4 is selected and it is difficult to execute the battle reach development effect, and the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P24 is lost. In this case, the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P25 is selected so that the battle reach development effect can be easily executed. In this way, when the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L2) + enlarged suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M2) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N2) is executed, the first half normal suggestion effect Suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L2 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L1) + enlarged suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M1) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N1) , It is possible to make it difficult to expect the winning of the jackpot (winning notification effect) (see FIG. 34).

Also, in the battle reach development production, winning the jackpot when the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3) + expansion suggestion effect (enlargement suggestion image M3) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N3) is executed. It is set to suggest that expectations are the third highest. As a result, when the hit is larger than the fluctuation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P5, the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P6 is selected and it is difficult to execute the battle reach development effect, and the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P25 is lost. In this case, the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P26 is selected so that the battle reach development effect can be easily executed. In this way, when the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L3) + enlarged suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M3) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N3) is executed, a battle based on another variable effect pattern is executed. It is possible to make it harder to expect a winning (winning notification effect) to win the jackpot than when the reach development effect is executed (see FIG. 34).

If the fluctuation pattern does not indicate the execution of the battle reach development effect, that is, if it indicates the execution of the battle reach correct effect (variation pattern P7, see FIG. 34) (NO in S4603), the battle reach correct effect Use the variable effect pattern selection table to select a variable effect pattern (S4605), and then proceed to S4505.

In this embodiment, in step S4605, a variation effect pattern for executing the battle reach accuracy effect (see FIG. 34) is selected based on the table classified according to the variation pattern to be the battle reach accuracy effect. In the battle reach correct production, the first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L4 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L5 ⇒ first half normal suggestion image L6) + enlarged suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M4) + second half normal suggestion image (second half normal suggestion image) N4) is executed, and it is set to suggest that a big hit was won in a lottery of special symbols. As a result, when a big hit occurs, a variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P7 is selected and the battle reach accuracy effect is set to be executed. In this way, when the battle reach winning effect is executed, it is possible to grasp the winning of the jackpot (winning notification effect) (see FIG. 34).

If it is determined in step S4602 that the fluctuation pattern does not indicate the execution of battle reach (NO in S4602), the fluctuation effect pattern is selected using another table (S4606), and this process is completed. Proceed to step S4505. Other tables are tables other than the variable production pattern selection table for battle reach development production and the variable production pattern selection table for battle reach accuracy production. Select one table based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command. Then, the variation effect pattern is selected by determining the acquired variation effect pattern lottery random number using the selected table (S4606). As a result, the variable effect pattern is selected. Once the variable effect pattern is determined in this way, the time of the variable effect, the variable display mode of the effect pattern, the presence or absence of reach effect, the content of reach effect, the presence or absence of effect button effect (SW effect), the content of the effect button effect, the effect development configuration, The details of the content of the variable production, which consists of the type of background of the production design, will be determined. Further, in this embodiment, the winning expectation is set to increase in the order of weak SP reach B ⇒ weak SP reach A ⇒ strong SP reach. In addition, the normal reach is set so that the winning expectation is lower than the SP reach.

In this embodiment, in step S4606, the interlocking vibration effect (see FIG. 22 (A)) is performed by determining the variation effect pattern lottery random number based on the table classified according to the variation pattern that becomes the SP reach. The variable effect pattern to be executed may be selected. That is, the interlocking vibration effect of this embodiment is an effect that may be executed by lottery only when SP reach (particularly battle effect) with a relatively high expectation of winning a jackpot is executed. Then, it is set to suggest that the expectation of winning the jackpot is higher when the interlocking vibration effect is executed than when the interlocking vibration effect is not executed. That is, in the case of the fluctuation pattern that becomes the SP reach jackpot, the fluctuation effect pattern that executes the interlocking vibration effect is easily selected, and in the case of the fluctuation pattern that causes the SP reach loss, the variation effect pattern that executes the interlocking vibration effect is selected. It is set so that it is difficult to do. In this way, when the interlocking vibration effect is executed, the player who is paying attention to the victory or defeat of the battle effect of SP reach can be expected to win the jackpot (winning notification effect) more.

Further, in step S4606, the variation effect pattern lottery random number is determined based on the table classified according to the variation pattern, so that the second board movable body 56k is moved from the standby position (see FIG. 7) to the operation position (FIG. 7). A variable effect pattern for executing the movable body drive effect to be moved to 14 (A)) may be selected. When the variable effect pattern for executing the movable body drive effect is selected, the drive data for moving the second board movable body 56k from the standby position to the operation position is set in the effect RM124. In this way, when the variable effect pattern for executing the movable body drive effect is selected, the second board movable body 56k moves from the standby position to the operating position during the execution of the variable effect, and the player is expected to win the jackpot. It is suggested that the degree is high. It should be noted that selecting a variable effect pattern for executing the movable body drive effect corresponds to "establishment of a predetermined effect condition".

[Preliminary effect selection process] As shown in FIG. 59, in the advance notice effect selection process (S4505), first, the normal logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4701) is executed. In the normal logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4701), the fluctuation pattern (information on the fluctuation pattern acquired based on the analysis of the fluctuation start command) is based on the predetermined normal logo flash execution lottery table (not shown). Select one table. Then, by acquiring a predetermined random number for determining the advance notice effect and determining the acquired random number for determining the advance notice effect using one selected table, it is determined whether or not to execute the normal logo flash effect.

As a result, if it is decided to execute the normal logo flash effect (YES in S4702), the normal logo flash image lottery process is executed (S4703), and the process proceeds to step S4704. In the normal logo flash image lottery process (S4703), one table is selected from the normal logo flash effect table shown in FIG. 13 (A) based on the information of the fluctuation pattern indicating whether the table is a big hit or a loss. Then, a predetermined random number for determining the advance notice effect is acquired, and it is determined whether to display the blue normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 using one selected table. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4702 that the normal logo flash effect is not executed (NO in S4702), the normal logo flash image lottery process (S4703) is passed and the process proceeds to step S4704.

The selection rate at which the blue normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 is selected by determining the random number for determining the advance notice effect is as shown in FIG. 13 (A). Then, it is shown in FIG. 12A based on the ratio at which the normal logo flash effect is executed based on each variation pattern and the selection rate at which the blue normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 is selected. It is set to reach the winning expectation.

In step S4704, the enlarged logo flash effect execution lottery process is executed. In the enlarged logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4704), one table is selected from a predetermined enlarged logo flash execution lottery table (not shown) based on the type of variation pattern. Then, by acquiring a predetermined random number for determining the advance notice effect and determining the acquired random number for determining the advance notice effect using one selected table, it is determined whether or not to execute the enlarged logo flash effect.

As a result, if it is decided to execute the enlarged logo flash effect (YES in S4705), the enlarged logo flash image lottery process is executed (S4706), and the process proceeds to step S4707. In the enlarged logo flash image lottery process (S4706), one table is selected from the enlarged logo flash effect table shown in FIG. 13 (B) based on the information of the variation pattern indicating whether it is a big hit or a loss. Then, a predetermined random number for determining the advance notice effect is acquired, and using one selected table, the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, the green enlarged logo flash image KG2, the red enlarged logo flash image KG3, and the gold enlarged logo flash image KG4 are used. , Rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 is determined to be displayed. On the other hand, if it is decided not to execute the enlarged logo flash effect in step S4705 (NO in S4705), the enlarged logo flash image lottery process (S4706) is passed and the process proceeds to step S4707.

By determining the random number for determining the advance notice effect, the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, the green enlarged logo flash image KG2, the red enlarged logo flash image KG3, the gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, and the rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 are selected. The selectivity is as shown in FIG. 13 (B). Then, the ratio at which the enlarged logo flash effect is executed based on each fluctuation pattern, the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, the green enlarged logo flash image KG2, the red enlarged logo flash image KG3, the gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, and the rainbow enlarged logo. The flash image KG5 is set to have the winning expectation degree shown in FIG. 12B based on the selected selection rate.

In step S4707, other notice effects are selected to end this process. When selecting another advance notice effect (S4707), a random number for determining the advance notice effect is acquired, and one from a plurality of tables classified according to the presence or absence of reach, etc., based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command. Select one table. Then, the advance notice effect is selected by determining the acquired random number for determining the advance notice effect using the selected table. As a result, the content of the notice effect such as the so-called step-up notice effect and the chance-up notice effect is determined. Note that the advance notice effect is not always executed during the execution of the variable effect, and may not be executed in the variable effect.

12. Effect of the present embodiment As described in detail above, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, in the first half normal suggestion effect, a plurality of winning expectations, which are big hits on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, are set. From the first half normal suggestion image (first half normal suggestion image L1, first half normal suggestion image L2, first half normal suggestion image L3, see FIG. 20 (A)), one of the first half normal suggestion images may be displayed (FIG. 18 (A-1), FIG. 18 (A-2), FIG. 18 (A-3)).

Then, in the enlarged suggestion effect, the enlarged suggestion image obtained by magnifying and displaying the same effect character as the determined first half normal suggestion image is displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 (FIGS. 18 (B-1) and 18 (FIG. 18). B-2), see FIG. 18 (B-3)). Therefore, it becomes possible to attract the player's eyes to whether or not the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 showing "7" in the battle reach development effect are in the reach display mode, and the first half normal suggestion image, that is, development. It will be possible to entertain until the previous battle reach is decided.

13. Modification example The modification example will be described below. In the description of the modified example, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above mode (first form) are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

<Second form>
In the above mode (first form), there are cases where the normal logo flash effect shown in FIG. 11 (A) is executed and cases where the enlarged logo flash effect shown in FIG. 11 (B) is executed. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the reduced logo flash effect shown in FIG. 60 is executed instead of the normal logo flash effect shown in FIG. 11 (A). That is, in the second mode, the reduced logo flash effect (first notice effect) shown in FIG. 60 is executed, and the enlarged logo flash effect (second notice effect) shown in FIG. 11B is executed. There is.

As shown in FIG. 60, the reduced logo flash effect of the second form is an effect of displaying the reduced logo flash image SG (first display image) on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. Here, as can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 60 and 11 (B), the reduced logo flash image SG has a face (specific motif) of the main character of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 more than the enlarged logo flash image KG. It is shown small. As can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 60 and 11 (A), the reduced logo flash image SG has a smaller face of the main character of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 than the normal logo flash image TG, and is transparent. Of the display screen 7a of the liquid crystal display device 7, it is displayed only in the display area overlapping the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. In this way, the reduced logo flash image SG can give a reduced impression (small impression) as compared with the enlarged logo flash image KG, and is difficult to grasp.

Then, the reduced logo flash effect is executed for about 0.5 seconds so as to interrupt while the variable effect is being executed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, similarly to the enlarged logo flash effect. In this way, the player paying attention to the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is suddenly shown the reduced logo flash effect executed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7.

Here, the reduced logo flash image SG has two display modes (expected degree modes) that suggest different degrees of expectation of winning the jackpot. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60, the display mode in which the face of the main character shown in the reduced logo flash image SG is blue and the face of the main character shown in the reduced logo flash image SG are red. There is a display mode that is displayed. In the following, the reduced logo flash image SG in the display mode in which the face of the main character is blue is referred to as the blue reduced logo flash image SG1, and the reduced logo flash image SG in the display mode in which the face of the main character is red is referred to. Will be referred to as a red reduced logo flash image SG2.

In the second form, as shown in FIG. 61 (A), when the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 is displayed as the reduced logo flash effect, the player indicates that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 30%. It is set to suggest to. Further, when the red reduced logo flash image SG2 is displayed, it is set to suggest to the player that the expectation of winning the jackpot is 60%. In this way, when the reduced logo flash effect is executed, the player is made to pay attention to whether the blue normal logo flash image TG1 or the red normal logo flash image TG2 is displayed, and the high expectation of winning the jackpot is high. It is possible to grasp in detail. Since the enlarged logo flash effect is the same as that of the first mode described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

By the way, as can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 61 (A) and 61 (B), the winning expectation when the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 is displayed is 30%, whereas the blue enlarged logo flash image When KG1 is displayed, the winning expectation is 10%. Further, when the red reduced logo flash image SG2 is displayed, the winning expectation is 60%, whereas when the red enlarged logo flash image KG3 is displayed, the winning expectation is 40%. Is. Therefore, when the face of the main character is shown as the same color in the reduced logo flash effect and the enlarged logo flash effect, the reduced logo flash image SG has a higher expectation of winning than the enlarged logo flash image KG. Suggests. Therefore, it is possible to expect the player to perform the enlarged logo flash effect rather than the normal logo flash effect. That is, it is possible to give the player an uplifting feeling due to the high expectation of winning when the face of the main character shown on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is small.

Especially in the case of the reduced logo flash effect, regardless of whether the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 or the red reduced logo flash image SG2 is displayed, the same color is applied to the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1 or the red enlarged logo. It suggests that the winning expectation is higher than the flash image KG3. Therefore, if the color is the same regardless of whether it is blue or red, the reduced logo flash image SG (see FIG. 60) that is difficult to grasp (small impact) on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. It is possible to provide a novel game interest that gives the player a greater uplifting feeling than the enlarged logo flash image KG (see FIG. 11B) that is easy to grasp (has a large impact).

In the second form, when the reduced logo flash image SG and the enlarged logo flash image KG (second display image) are compared, a color (expectation factor) suggesting the winning expectation is added to the reduced logo flash image SG. There are two types (blue and red) (see FIG. 61 (A)). On the other hand, there are five types (blue, green, red, gold, and rainbow) that are colored to indicate the degree of expectation of winning the enlarged logo flash image KG (see FIG. 61 (B)). ). Therefore, the number of color types assigned to the enlarged logo flash image KG is set to be larger than the number of color types assigned to the reduced logo flash image SG.

Further, in the second form, the rainbow color (hit element) suggesting that the jackpot has been confirmed for the reduced logo flash image SG is not added. On the other hand, a rainbow color may be added to indicate that the jackpot has been confirmed for the enlarged logo flash image KG. In this way, the enlarged logo flash effect may suggest the confirmation of winning the jackpot, while the reduced logo flash effect is set so as not to suggest the confirmation of the winning of the jackpot.

[Preliminary effect selection process] Next, the second form of the advance notice effect selection process (S4505) will be described with reference to FIG. 63. However, a difference from the notice effect selection process (S4505, see FIG. 59) of the first form will be described. In the notice effect selection process (S4505) of the second form, steps S4708 to S4710 are provided in place of steps S4701 to S4703 (see FIG. 59) of the notice effect selection process (S4505) of the first form.

As shown in FIG. 63, in the advance notice effect selection process (S4505), first, the reduced logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4708) is executed. In the reduced logo flash effect execution lottery process (S4708), one table is selected from a predetermined reduced logo flash execution lottery table (not shown) based on the type of variation pattern. Then, by acquiring a predetermined random number for determining the advance notice effect and determining the acquired random number for determining the advance notice effect using one selected table, it is determined whether or not to execute the reduced logo flash effect.

As a result, if it is decided to execute the reduced logo flash effect (YES in S4709), the reduced logo flash image lottery process is executed (S4710), and the process proceeds to step S4704. In the reduced logo flash image lottery process (S4704), one table is selected from the reduced logo flash effect table shown in FIG. 62 based on the information of the variation pattern indicating whether it is a big hit or a loss. Then, a predetermined random number for determining the advance notice effect is acquired, and it is determined whether to display the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 or the red reduced logo flash image SG2 using one selected table. On the other hand, if it is decided not to execute the reduced logo flash effect in step S4709 (NO in S4709), the reduced logo flash image lottery process (S4710) is passed and the process proceeds to step S4704.

The selection rate at which the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 or the red reduced logo flash image SG2 is selected by determining the random number for determining the advance notice effect is as shown in FIG. 62. Then, based on the ratio at which the reduced logo flash effect is executed based on each variation pattern and the selection rate at which the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 or the red reduced logo flash image SG2 is selected, the winning expectation degree shown in FIG. It is set to be. Since the processing after step S4704 is described in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, the reduced logo flash image SG including the face (specific motif) of the main character can be visually recognized on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. When (see FIG. 60) is executed, and when the enlarged logo flash image KG including the face of the main character is included and is easier to grasp than the reduced logo flash image SG is visible, the enlarged logo flash effect (see FIG. 11B). ) May be executed. Here, comparing the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 with blue and the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1 with blue, the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 which is small and difficult to grasp is larger. This suggests that the expectation of winning is higher than that of the blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, which is easy to grasp (see FIGS. 61 (A) and 61 (B)). Therefore, the player who saw the blue reduced logo flash image SG1 noticed the relationship (speciality) that the small and difficult to grasp have a high expectation of winning, in addition to the uplifting feeling due to the high expectation of winning. It is possible to give a special feeling (special feeling) of time, and it is possible to provide a novel game entertainment.

Further, according to the second form of the pachinko game machine PY1, when the color attached to the reduced logo flash image SG and the color attached to the enlarged logo flash image KG are the same, the reduced logo flash image SG is attached. Regardless of the color (blue or red), it is suggested that the reduced logo flash effect has a higher expectation of winning than the enlarged logo flash effect (see FIGS. 61 (A) and 61 (B)). Therefore, if the same color is given, it is suggested that the reduced logo flash image SG, which is difficult to grasp, is more advantageous to the player than the enlarged logo flash image KG, which is easy to grasp. Therefore, in general, the reduced logo flash image SG, which is small and difficult to grasp, is won for the player who thinks that the larger and easier to grasp the image, the higher the expectation of winning. It is possible to give the opposite impression that expectations are high. As a result, it is possible to provide a novel game entertainment that has never existed before.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second form, the types (5 types) in which the enlarged logo flash image KG that is easy to grasp is colored are colored in the reduced logo flash image SG that is difficult to grasp. There are more types (2 types) than the types (see FIGS. 61 (A) and 61 (B)). Therefore, when the enlarged logo flash image KG is displayed, it is easier to grasp the high degree of expectation of winning in more detail than when the reduced logo flash image SG is displayed. Therefore, when the reduced logo flash image SG, which is difficult to grasp, is displayed to the player, the player is given an uplifting feeling due to the high expectation of winning, and when the enlarged logo flash image KG, which is easy to grasp, is displayed. , It is possible to grasp the high degree of expectation of winning in detail, and it is possible to entertain either the reduced logo flash image SG or the enlarged logo flash image KG.

In addition, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second form, the enlarged logo flash image KG, which is easy to grasp, may be colored with a rainbow color suggesting that the winning of the jackpot is confirmed, but the reduction is difficult to grasp. The logo flash image SG is not colored in rainbow colors. Therefore, when the reduced logo flash image SG, which is difficult to grasp, is displayed to the player, the player is given an uplifting feeling due to the high expectation of winning, and when the enlarged logo flash image KG, which is easy to grasp, is displayed. , It gives a feeling of expectation that the logo is colored, and it is possible to entertain either the reduced logo flash image SG or the enlarged logo flash image KG.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second form, the reduced logo flash image SG (first display image) shown in FIG. 60 is reduced in the enlarged logo flash image KG (second display image) shown in FIG. 11 (B). It can give the impression of (shrinking), but suggests that the winning expectation is high (see FIGS. 61 (A) and 61 (B)). Therefore, the player is given a greater uplifting feeling when the smaller reduced logo flash image SG is seen than when the large enlarged logo flash image KG is seen, so that the player is provided with a game entertainment with an impression opposite to the conventional one. Is possible.

In each of the above modes, the first half normal suggestion image is displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 (display means) in the first half normal suggestion effect, and the same effect character as the first half normal suggestion image is enlarged and displayed in the enlarged suggestion effect. The suggested image was displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. Further, displaying the latter half normal suggestion image in which the same effect character as the enlarged suggestion image is reduced and displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 in the latter half normal suggestion effect is described in "Among the first specific effect and the second specific effect. , When one specific effect is executed and the other specific effect corresponding to one specific effect is executed, it is possible to execute one specific effect corresponding to the other specific effect. " However, it is not limited to this. At least a part of the first half normal suggestion image changed and displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is transmitted. A part of the effect using the display screen 7a of the liquid crystal display device 7 is common to the player, for example, in the reach of the development destination. A part of the effect using the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, assuming that the point is felt or the impression that it is a common winning expectation is felt. If at least a part of the second half normal suggestion image that has been changed and displayed gives the player a feeling of commonality in the reach of the development destination, for example, or an impression that it is a common winning expectation, "No. When one of the 1 specific effect and the 2nd specific effect is executed and the other specific effect corresponding to the one specific effect is executed, the other specific effect corresponding to the other specific effect is executed. It may be equivalent to "it is possible to do". For example, the display color of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is blue, green, and red, and the display image displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is blue. , Green, and red. In this case, for example, the display color (blue) of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is displayed, and the display image (blue) displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is used. When the display is performed and the display color (blue) of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is displayed, it is possible to give the player an impression that the winning expectation is common. On the other hand, it is displayed in the display color (blue) of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, and is displayed in the display image (blue) displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. When the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is displayed in the display color (green), the player can feel the impression that the winning expectation is different, and the player can feel a sense of discomfort.

The battle reach normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion effect, second half normal suggestion effect) of the first form corresponds to the "first specific effect", but is not limited to this. For example, a specific sound is output from the speaker 610, a frame lamp 212 or a board lamp 54 is made to emit light in a specific light emitting mode, a hold icon notice, a cut-in notice, a step-up notice, a notice using an effect image, etc. It may correspond to the "first specific effect".

In the latter half normal suggestion effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first aspect, there are four types on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 (second half normal suggestion image N1 to second half normal suggestion image N4, FIG. 20C). , Of the latter half normal suggestion images (see FIG. 20F), any of the latter half normal suggestion images can be displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there may be five or more types of display modes, or three or less types. Further, the display mode of the first suggestion effect is not limited to images such as the latter half normal suggestion image N1 to the latter half normal suggestion image N4. For example, it may be an effect image, a specific sound output from the speaker 610, light emission of a specific light emitting mode by the frame lamp 212 or the board lamp 54, or the like.

In the first form, the first half normal suggestion image displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 (display means) in the battle reach normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion effect, second half normal suggestion effect) (FIG. 20A). , FIG. 20 (D)), the latter half normal suggestion image (see FIGS. 20 (C), 20 (F)), and the magnified suggestion image displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 in the magnifying suggestion effect (see FIG. (See FIGS. 20B and 20E) is a production that impresses the player that the battle reach corresponding to the same production character and the same winning expectation are obtained. The first specific effect and the second specific effect executed by the means correspond to "an effect that gives a common impression to the player". However, it is not limited to this. For example, at least a part of the first half normal suggestion image and the second half normal suggestion image changed and displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, and a part of the enlarged suggestion image using the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 are games. For example, if the reach of the development destination is made to have a common feeling, or the impression that the winning expectation is the same, "the first specific effect and the second specific effect executed by the effect control means are the players. It may correspond to "a production that gives a common impression to the people".

Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern of each of the above forms includes a battle reach development effect (first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L1, first half normal suggestion image L2, first half normal suggestion image L3) + battle reach correct effect (first half normal suggestion effect). (First half normal suggestion image L4, first half normal suggestion image L5, first half normal suggestion image L6) + magnified suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M1, magnified suggestion image M2, magnified suggestion image M3, magnified suggestion image M4) + second half normal suggestion effect ( Includes identification information related to the second half normal suggestion image N1, the second half normal suggestion image N2, the second half normal suggestion image N3, the second half normal suggestion image N4) + battle reach (battle reach A, battle reach B, battle reach C, battle reach S), etc. However, it is not limited to this (see FIG. 34). For example, a battle reach development effect (first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L1, first half normal suggestion image L2, first half normal suggestion image L2), etc. First half normal suggestion image L3) + Battle reach correct production (first half normal suggestion image L4, first half normal suggestion image L5, first half normal suggestion image L6) + expansion suggestion effect (enlargement suggestion image M1, enlargement suggestion image M2, Enlarged suggestion image M3, Enlarged suggestion image M4) + Second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N1, second half normal suggestion image N2, second half normal suggestion image N3, second half normal suggestion image N4) + Battle reach (battle reach A, battle reach) It is possible not to include the identification information regarding B, battle reach C, battle reach S), etc. In that case, the effect control microcomputer 121 of each of the above forms varies in, for example, the variation effect pattern selection process (S4504). Based on the analysis result of the start command, the battle reach development effect (first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image)) by determining the acquired variation effect pattern extraction random number using the battle reach development effect variation effect pattern selection table. L1, first half normal suggestion image L2, first half normal suggestion image L3) + magnified suggestion effect (enlarged suggestion image M1, magnified suggestion image M2, magnified suggestion image M3) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N1, second half normal suggestion image) The details of the contents such as N2, the latter half normal suggestion image N3) + battle reach (battle reach A, battle reach B, battle reach C) may be determined. Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 of each of the above forms is, for example, , In the variation effect pattern selection process (S4504), based on the analysis result of the variation start command, the variation effect pattern selection table for battle reach correct effect By determining the acquired variation effect pattern extraction random number using, battle reach correct effect (first half normal suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L4, first half normal suggestion image L5, first half normal suggestion image L6) + enlarged suggestion effect (first half normal suggestion image L4, first half normal suggestion image L6) The details of the contents such as enlarged suggestion image M4) + second half normal suggestion effect (second half normal suggestion image N4) + battle reach (battle reach S) may be determined.

Further, in the first form of the battle reach development effect and the battle reach correct effect, the execution of the first half normal suggestion effect is started at the same time as the execution of the battle reach development effect and the battle reach correct effect is started, and when the execution of the first half normal suggestion effect is completed. At the same time, the execution of the expansion suggestion effect is started, and at the same time the execution of the expansion suggestion effect is completed, the execution of the latter half normal suggestion effect is started, but the present invention is not limited to this. The execution start timing of the first half normal suggestion effect, the expansion suggestion effect, and the second half normal suggestion effect in the above-mentioned battle reach development effect and battle reach correct effect may be changed as appropriate.

In the first embodiment, in any of the states shown in FIGS. 25 (B), 26 (B), 27 (B), and 28 (F) in the battle reach development effect of the present embodiment, the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 Since the transmissive film 770 is not controlled to be in a transmissive state, the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is difficult for the player to see, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even in the states shown in FIGS. 25 (B), 26 (B), 27 (B), and 28 (F) in the battle reach development effect, the transmissive film 770 of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is controlled to be in the transmissive state. You may be.

In the first embodiment, the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) as shown in FIG. 16 (B) and the second vibration as shown in FIG. 16 (A). There were cases where the vibration occurred in the mode (second vibration pattern). However, the first vibration pattern and the second vibration pattern are not limited to the first vibration mode shown in FIG. 16 (B) and the second vibration mode shown in FIG. 16 (A), and have an amplitude, a vibration cycle, and a vibration time. Etc. can be changed as appropriate.

Therefore, for example, in the first vibration pattern and the second vibration pattern of the effect button 40k, the vibration period and the vibration time may be the same, but only the amplitude may be different. Alternatively, the amplitude and the vibration time may be the same, but only the vibration period may be different. Alternatively, the amplitude and the vibration period may be the same, but only the vibration time may be different. In the above embodiment, two types of vibration patterns, a first vibration mode and a second vibration mode, are provided as the vibration patterns of the effect button 40k, but three or more types of vibration patterns may be provided.

In the first embodiment, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) (when the button fanning effect shown in FIG. 22A is executed), the pressing operation on the effect button 40k is used as an opportunity. did not exist. However, the effect button 40k may vibrate in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) triggered by the pressing operation of the effect button 40k.

In the first embodiment, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the second vibration mode (second vibration pattern) (when the button vibration effect shown in FIG. 22 (C-1) is executed), the pressing operation on the effect button 40k is performed. It was an opportunity. However, the effect button 40k may vibrate in the second vibration mode (second vibration pattern) without being triggered by the pressing operation on the effect button 40k.

In the first embodiment, the operating means capable of vibrating in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) or the second vibration mode (second vibration pattern) is the effect button 40k that can be pressed. However, the operating means capable of vibrating in the first vibration pattern or the second vibration pattern is not limited to the effect button 40k, and can be appropriately used. For example, an operation lever that can be pulled in or a rotation operation means (handle 72k or the like) that can be rotated may be used. In addition, instead of the operating means, the effect movable body, the handle, or the like may be vibrated in the first vibration pattern or the second vibration pattern.

In the first form, the vibration (button fanning effect) in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) by the effect button 40k and the vibration (button vibration) in the second vibration mode (second vibration pattern) by the effect button 40k. (Direction) was performed during the execution of SP Reach. However, the timing at which the button fanning effect and the button vibration effect are executed can be changed as appropriate. For example, a pseudo continuous effect (an effect in which there are multiple cycles accompanied by a variable display of the effect symbol EZ between the start of the variable display of the special symbol and the stop display), or a continuous advance notice (a multiple variation of the special symbol). When the advance notice effect executed across the display is executed (especially at the start of fluctuation of the effect symbol EZ), the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration pattern, and the effect button 40k vibrates in the second vibration pattern. May be executed. Alternatively, when the reach is formed, when the SP reach is developed, when the revival effect is executed, when the winning notification effect is executed, etc., the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration pattern, and the effect button 40k causes the second vibration. Vibrations in the pattern may be performed.

In the first form, the vibration (button fanning effect) in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern) by the effect button 40k and the vibration (button vibration) in the second vibration mode (second vibration pattern) by the effect button 40k. (Direction) is executed at different timings during the production. However, the effect button 40k may vibrate in the first vibration pattern or the effect button 40k may vibrate in the second vibration pattern at the same timing during the effect after the branch of the effect. In this case, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration pattern, it indicates that it is more advantageous for the player than in the case of vibrating in the second vibration pattern (for example, the winning expectation is high or the winning notification). You may do so. On the contrary, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the second vibration pattern, it may be shown that it is more advantageous for the player than the case where it vibrates in the first vibration pattern.

In the first form, in the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect), the effect button 40k (first movable body), which is an operating means, and the second board movable body 56k (second movable body), which is the effect movable body, are I tried to vibrate together. However, the combination of the first movable body and the second movable body that vibrate in the joint vibration effect is not limited to the effect button 40k and the second board movable body 56k, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be a combination of the first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k. Further, a combination of the frame movable body provided in the game machine frame 2 and the board movable body (first board movable body 55k or second board movable body 56k) provided in the game board 1 may be used, or the frame movable body may be used. It may be a combination of each other. Further, the combination of the handle 72k and the effect movable body (board movable body or frame movable body) may be used, or the combination of the handle 72k and the effect button 40k may be used. Further, a joint vibration effect may be executed by using a part of the vibrating game machine frame 2. Further, three or more movable bodies may vibrate together.

In the first form, in the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect), the timing at which the effect button 40k (first movable body) starts to vibrate and the timing at which the second board movable body 56k (second movable body) starts to vibrate are set. It was the same, and the timing when the effect button 40k ended the vibration and the timing when the second board movable body 56k ended the vibration were the same. That is, the vibration time (vibration period) of the effect button 40k and the vibration time of the second board movable body 56k were the same. However, in the joint vibration effect, the timing at which the first movable body and the second movable body start to vibrate and the timing at which the vibration ends do not have to be the same, and the vibration time does not have to be the same. Therefore, in the joint vibration effect, the fact that the first movable body and the second movable body are vibrating together means that the timing at which the first movable body and the second movable body are vibrating together (simultaneously) exists even for a moment. It is good if it is.

In the first embodiment, in the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect), the entire second board movable body 56k (second movable body) vibrates (see FIG. 14B). However, instead of the entire second board movable body 56k, a part of the second board movable body 56k may repeat (vibrate) a reciprocating operation of returning to a certain position from a certain position through another position. That is, it is assumed that the movable body is vibrating even when a part of the movable body is oscillating due to the reciprocating motion. Similarly, the effect button 40k (first movable body) may not vibrate as a whole, but only a part thereof may vibrate.

In the first embodiment, in the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect), as shown in FIG. 22A, the win / loss branch image SB1 is displayed on the display screen 50a. However, the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a during the execution of the joint vibration effect can be changed as appropriate. For example, an effect image indicating that both the effect button 40k and the second board movable body 56k are vibrating may be displayed on the display screen 50a. This is to make it easier for the player to understand that the interlocking vibration effect is being executed. It should be noted that the display screen 50a may display an effect image indicating that either one of the effect button 40k and the second board movable body 56k is vibrating.

In the first form, as shown in FIG. 17, in the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect), the vibration period (1 second) of the effect button 40k (first movable body) and the second board movable body 56k (second). The vibration cycle (1 second) of the movable body) was made completely the same. However, the vibration cycle of the effect button 40k (first movable body) and the vibration cycle of the second board movable body 56k may not be completely the same, but may be substantially the same. Here, the vibration cycle of the first movable body and the vibration cycle of the second movable body are substantially the same, that is, the difference between the longer vibration cycle and the shorter vibration cycle is 3 minutes of the longer vibration cycle. It means that it is 1 (33.3%) or less of the above, and more preferably it is 20% or less of the longer vibration period. If the vibration cycles are substantially the same in this way, it is substantially that the vibration of the first movable body (effect button 40k) and the vibration of the second movable body (second board movable body 56k) are linked. Because it can be recognized.

In the first embodiment, the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect) is executed during the execution of the SP reach (particularly before the button pressing operation effect shown in FIG. 22 (B)) (see FIG. 22 (A)). .. However, the timing at which the joint vibration effect is executed can be changed as appropriate. For example, the joint vibration effect may be executed when the pseudo continuous effect or the continuous advance notice is executed (particularly at the start of the fluctuation of the effect symbol EZ). Alternatively, the joint vibration may be executed at the timing when the reach is formed, when the SP reach is developed, when the revival effect is executed, when the winning notification effect is executed, and the like.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22A, the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect) is executed without being triggered by the pressing operation of the effect button 40k. However, the interlocking vibration effect (joint vibration effect) may be executed triggered by the pressing operation of the effect button 40k. In this case, when the player presses the effect button 40k, the effect button 40k and the second board movable body 56k both vibrate, so that the player can operate the two movable bodies together by his / her own operation. It is possible to give a special feeling of operation (interestingness) that it is vibrated.

In the first mode, as shown in FIG. 22B, in the button pressing promotion effect (operation promotion effect), a button image BT imitating the shape of the effect button 40k and a character image showing the characters "press!" The MO is displayed on the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. However, the operation promotion effect for prompting the operation (pressing operation) of the effect button 40k is not limited to the above-mentioned effect mode. For example, as an operation promotion effect, a sound "press the effect button!" Is output from the speaker 610 (sound output means), or a light emitting means such as a frame lamp 212 or a board lamp 54 is emitted in a light emitting mode indicating "press". You may let it.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration mode (first vibration pattern), the second vibration mode (second vibration pattern) The vibration cycle is longer and the amplitude is larger than when the vibration is made in. However, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration pattern, the vibration cycle may be longer but the amplitude may be smaller than in the case where the effect button 40k vibrates in the second vibration pattern. In this case, when the effect button 40k vibrates in the first vibration pattern, the effect button 40k vibrates slowly (relatively long vibration cycle) and weakly (relatively small amplitude), so that the player is informed. It is possible to show a weak and novel vibration.

In each of the above modes, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10A and 10B, the entire display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 is the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 arranged in the front. It was supposed to overlap in the front-back direction. However, a part of the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 (upper display area, lower display area, left side display area, right side display area) of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 arranged in the front. It may overlap with the display screen 7a in the front-rear direction. Although the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 is arranged in front of the rear liquid crystal display device 50, the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 and the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50 are not overlapped in the front-rear direction. You may.

In each of the above forms, in the normal logo flash image TG (see FIG. 11 (A)), the enlarged logo flash image KG (see FIG. 11 (B)), and the reduced logo flash image SG (see FIG. 60), the face of the main character (see FIG. 60). Specific motifs) were included. However, the face of the main character may be replaced with an image containing other motifs, which can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be an image containing a specific number, a specific item, a specific pattern, a specific character, a specific figure, or a specific character.

In each of the above forms, the normal logo flash image TG, the enlarged logo flash image KG, and the reduced logo flash image SG are provided with a color (expectation element) suggesting a high degree of expectation for winning (Fig.). 11 (A) (B), see FIG. 60). However, the normal logo flash image TG, the enlarged logo flash image KG, and the reduced logo flash image SG may be provided with an expectation factor that suggests a winning expectation different from the color. For example, a star image may be attached to indicate the high degree of expectation of winning by the large number of star images. Alternatively, a flame effect image may be attached to indicate the high degree of expectation of winning depending on the size of the flame. It should be noted that the color of the effect image may indicate a high degree of expectation of winning. Further, a voice may be added to indicate the high degree of expectation of winning by the loudness of the voice, the length of the voice, the pitch of the voice, and the like.

In each of the above forms, when the rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5 (hit suggestion mode) showing the face of the rainbow-colored main character is displayed in the enlarged logo flash effect, it is suggested that the winning of the big hit is confirmed. However, the hit suggestion mode is not limited to the rainbow-colored rainbow magnified logo flash image, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, an enlarged logo flash image to which a specific pattern, a specific effect, or a specific sound effect hit element is attached may be used as a hit suggestion mode.

In each of the above modes, the normal logo flash effect (see FIG. 11A), the enlarged logo flash effect (see FIG. 11B), and the reduced logo flash effect (see FIG. 60) are the display screens of the rear liquid crystal display device 50. It was executed for about 0.5 seconds so as to interrupt while the fluctuation effect was being executed at 50a. That is, the normal logo flash effect, the enlarged logo flash effect, and the reduced logo flash effect are executed only for a short time like the so-called cut-in notice. However, the execution time of the normal logo flash effect (first forward notice effect), the enlarged logo flash effect (second forward notice effect, the second notice effect), and the reduced logo flash effect (first notice effect) is about 0.5. It is not limited to a short time such as seconds, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the effect image may be displayed step by step like a step-up notice, or the effect may be executed for a certain long time like a movie. The normal logo flash effect, the enlarged logo flash effect, and the reduced logo flash effect may not be executed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7.

In the first form, the normal logo flash effect (see FIG. 11A) and the enlarged logo flash effect (see FIG. 11B) can be executed, and in the second form, the reduced logo flash effect (see FIG. 11B). (See FIG. 60) and the enlarged logo flash effect can be executed. However,
The normal logo flash effect, the enlarged logo flash effect, and the reduced logo flash effect may be executed, or only one of these three logo flash effects may be executed.

In the first form, the normal logo flash image TG displayed in the normal logo flash effect (first forward notice effect) has two types of display image modes (blue normal logo flash image TG1, red) that suggest the winning expectation. There was a normal logo flash image TG2). However, in the normal logo flash image TG, the number of types of display image modes suggesting the degree of expectation of winning may be three or more.

In the first form, the winning expectation of each normal logo flash image TG (blue normal logo flash image TG1, red normal logo flash image TG2) displayed by the normal logo flash effect is as shown in FIG. 12 (A). I set it. However, this winning expectation value is just an example and can be changed as appropriate. Then, in the normal logo flash effect, a normal logo flash image suggesting confirmation of winning the jackpot may be displayed. Further, a normal logo flash image suggesting that the winning of the jackpot is confirmed and that the high probability state can be entered after the jackpot game may be displayed.

In each of the above modes, the normal logo flash image TG or the enlarged logo flash image KG that can give an enlarged impression of the normal logo flash image TG can be displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. However, the magnified logo flash image KG may be able to display a super magnified logo flash image that can give the impression of being further magnified. In this case, when the super-enlarged logo flash image is displayed, it may be suggested that the winning expectation is higher than when the enlarged logo flash image KG is displayed.

In the first form, the enlarged logo flash image KG displayed in the enlarged logo flash effect (second forward notice effect) has five types of display image modes (blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, green) that suggest the degree of expectation of winning. There were enlarged logo flash image KG2, red enlarged logo flash image KG3, gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5). However, in the enlarged logo flash image KG, the types of display image modes suggesting the degree of expectation of winning may be 4 or less, or 6 or more.

In the first form, each enlarged logo flash image KG displayed by the enlarged logo flash effect (blue enlarged logo flash image KG1, green enlarged logo flash image KG2, red enlarged logo flash image KG3, gold enlarged logo flash image KG4, rainbow The winning expectation of the enlarged logo flash image KG5) was set as shown in FIG. 12 (B). However, this winning expectation value is just an example and can be changed as appropriate. Then, in the normal logo flash production, a normal logo flash image suggesting the confirmation of winning the jackpot may be displayed, while in the enlarged logo flash production, the enlarged logo suggesting the confirmation of winning the jackpot is displayed. The flash image (rainbow enlarged logo flash image KG5) may not be displayed.

In the first form, the enlarged logo flash image KG suggests the winning expectation level (5 types), and the normal logo flash image TG suggests the winning expectation level (2 types). Made more than. However, the type of display image mode that suggests the winning expectation in the enlarged logo flash image KG may be the same as or less than the type of the display image mode that suggests the winning expectation in the normal logo flash image TG.

In the first embodiment, in the effect example, the normal logo flash effect (see FIG. 14 (D)) and the enlarged logo flash effect (see FIG. 14 (G)) were executed during the execution of the SP reach. However, the execution timing of the normal logo flash effect and the execution timing of the enlarged logo flash effect are not limited to the SP reach, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be the start time of the variable display of the effect symbol EZ or the time when the reach is reached. In addition, a pseudo-continuous effect (an effect in which there are multiple cycles accompanied by a variable display of the effect symbol EZ between the start of the variable display of the special symbol and the stop display) or a continuous notice (a multiple variable display of the special symbol). The normal logo flash effect or the enlarged logo flash effect may be executed when the advance notice effect executed over the above is executed.

In the second embodiment, the reduced logo flash image SG and the enlarged logo flash image KG can be displayed on the display screen 7a of the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7. However, the reduced logo flash image SG and the enlarged logo flash image KG may be displayed on a display device other than the transmissive liquid crystal display device 7 (for example, the display screen 50a of the rear liquid crystal display device 50).

In the second form, the reduced logo flash image SG (first image, see FIG. 60) could give the impression that the enlarged logo flash image KG (second image, see FIG. 11B) has shrunk. .. However, the relationship between the first image and the second image including a specific motif may be changed as long as it is difficult or easy to grasp. For example, the first image may be a low-brightness effect image, while the second image may be a high-brightness effect image. Further, for example, the first display image may be displayed at the edge portion of the display screen 50a, while the second display image may be displayed at the center portion of the display screen 50a.

In the second form, the winning expectation of each reduced logo flash image SG (blue reduced logo flash image SG1 and red reduced logo flash image SG2) displayed by the reduced logo flash effect is as shown in FIG. 61 (A). I set it. However, this winning expectation value is just an example and can be changed as appropriate. Then, in the reduced logo flash effect, a reduced logo flash image suggesting confirmation of winning the jackpot may be displayed.
