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

[Configuration of pachinko game machine 1 etc.]
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1, showing an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly classified into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 forming a game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined ball launching device and is driven into the game area.

The "variable display" of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Fluctuations include update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. When the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later is changed, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbol described later, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. The variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinked and displayed. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). The variable display may be expressed as a variable display or a variable display.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol" or "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is "first". Also called "2 special design" or "2nd special design". Further, the special figure game using the first special figure is also referred to as a "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as a "second special figure game". It should be noted that there may be one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of the special symbol.

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

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special figure game and the second special figure game, decorative symbols (such as symbols indicating numbers) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbols are displayed. Is variablely displayed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, up and down) in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Direction scroll display and update display). It should be noted that the special figure game and the variable display of the decorative pattern that are executed in synchronization are also collectively referred to as simply variable display.

On the screen of the image display device 5, a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display in which execution is suspended or an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed may be provided. Hold display and active display are also collectively referred to as variable display compatible display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable displays on hold is also called the number of stored items on hold. The number of reserved storage corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first reserved storage number, and the number of reserved storage corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second reserved storage number. The total of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is also referred to as the total reserved storage number.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit.

A winning ball device 6A is provided below the image display device 5, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided on the right side of the winning ball device 6A.

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

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 3). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, so that the tip of the movable wing pieces is in a vertical position. Is close to the winning ball device 6A and is in a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable-sweep wing device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening because the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is on (second start). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls can be paid out and the second special figure game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electric tulip type accessory.

A predetermined ball receiving member always keeps a constant open state at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three places on the lower left of the game area and one place on the upper side of the variable winning ball device 6B). A general winning opening 10 is provided. In this case, when entering any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3), and has a large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state depending on the large winning opening door. Form.

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

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

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

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

A passing gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided on the right side of the image display device 5. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41, the normal drawing game is executed.

Below the normal symbol display 20, a normal symbol hold display 25C is provided. The normal figure hold display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal figure hold storages, which is the number of normal figure games whose execution is held, by the number of LEDs lit.

In addition to the above configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, there is an out opening for taking in a game ball that has not entered any of the winning openings.

When the gaming machine frame 3 is closed, the security cover 50A covers the right side portion of the board case 201 including the setting key 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 from the back surface side. The security cover 50A is a substantially L-shaped member including a short piece 50Aa and a long piece 50Ab, and may be made of a transparent synthetic resin.

[Outline of game progress]
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player on the ball striking operation handle 30. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the period during which the previous normal drawing game is being executed (when the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 but the normal drawing game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately). , The game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (design per normal symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than a normal symbol (a common symbol lost symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "normal symbol lost". When it becomes "per normal drawing", the opening control is performed so that the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

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

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

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed or during the period controlled by the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (the start prize has occurred). If the special figure game based on the start winning cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a jackpot symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes "small hit". Further, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

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

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined mode. The open state includes the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as an opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the maximum number of times (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

In the big hit game state, the player can obtain the prize ball by letting the game ball enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

A jackpot type is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and maximum opening period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc.) are prepared, and the big hit type is set according to these. Has been done. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type in which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type in which few prize balls are obtained, or a jackpot type in which almost no prize balls can be obtained may be provided.

In the small hit game state, the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as the big hit game state in some big hit types (the number of times the big winning opening is opened is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same. Etc.), the big winning opening becomes open. As with the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

After the jackpot game state is completed, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability change state according to the jackpot type.

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving state, the average fluctuation time of the normal map (the period during which the normal map is changed) is shortened from the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal map hit" in the normal map game is improved from the normal state. Controls (high opening control, high base control) that make it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening are also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

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

The time saving state and the probability change state continue until any one of the end conditions such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit game state are satisfied first. A game whose end condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also called a number cut (time cut time reduction, number cut probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state that is advantageous for the player, a time saving state, and a probability change state, and the display result in the normal drawing game is "normal drawing hit". The pachinko game machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on, such as the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as (when the process is not executed).

The state in which the probability change control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which the probability change control is not executed is also called a low probability state. The state in which the time saving control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time saving control is not executed is also called a low base state. By combining these, it is also called a low-accuracy high-base state in a time-saving state, a high-accuracy high-base state in a probabilistic state, and a low-accuracy low-base state in a normal state. The high-accuracy state and low-base state are also called the high-accuracy low-base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). It should be noted that there may be no "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

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

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and a game effect lamp 9 It may be turned on or off, the operation of the movable body 32, or an effect using an arbitrary effect device including a part or all of them.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first special figure game or the first 2 In response to the start of the special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the final decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols) that is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed. ) Is also displayed (derived) as a stop.

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display of a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. It is a mode in which is continuing.

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration). The display result of the variable display of the symbol is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". ..

In the case of a "probability change jackpot" that is controlled to a probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7") are all stopped and displayed, and the probability change state is entered after the end of the jackpot game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", an even number of decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be aligned and displayed as a stop. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a probabilistic symbol, and the even-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol). After the non-probability change symbol becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability change jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", the fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example,""is a predetermined small hit combination as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a" small hit "). As an example, "left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5
The decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in C and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state), and when it becomes "small hit". , A common fixed decorative symbol may be derived and displayed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the variable display result of the decorative symbol is a fixed decorative symbol of a non-reach combination ("" (Also referred to as "non-reach loss") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "missing", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination ("reach loss") that is not a jackpot combination. The fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "reach loss").

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution, and a pre-reading advance notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the pre-reading notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

Further, in the image display device 5, one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display. The pseudo-continuous production may be executed.

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type in the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a highly accurate state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the player is currently in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high accuracy state and the low accuracy state. You may.

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

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

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operations on the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is started, and the game control main process is executed by the CPU 103. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output ports, etc.), settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is off, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, for example, if the clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in the ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100. When such a clear signal in the ON state is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the recovery condition is not satisfied. The backup data may be stored in RAM 102, which is a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, and the like may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery conditions can be satisfied.

If the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3; Y), the recovery process (step S4) is executed, and then the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. By the recovery process in step S4, the work area is set based on the stored contents of the RAM 102. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped. For example, when the special symbol is changing, the state before the stop is special. It suffices if the fluctuation of the symbol can be resumed.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; N), the initialization process (step S6) is executed, and then the setting change process (step S7) is executed. The initialization process of step S6 includes a clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and the initial value is set in the work area by executing the clear process.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether or not the predetermined setting confirmation condition is satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when the power supply is started. The setting confirmation process in step S5 is executed when the recovery conditions including the fact that the clear signal is in the off state are satisfied in step S3. Therefore, since the setting confirmation condition can be satisfied only when the clear signal is in the off state, the fact that the clear signal is in the off state can also be included in the setting confirmation condition.

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed is set, and the setting is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29. When the setting confirmation state is terminated, the setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12.

When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, it may be in the gaming stop state in which the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. When the game is stopped, the launch of the game ball by the operation of the hitting ball operation handle, the detection of the game ball by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol are stopped. The display 20 may be controlled so that the lost symbol or the like is stopped and displayed, or the display corresponding to the game stopped state different from the lost symbol is displayed. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not the predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when the power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is in the ON state.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed to the setting change state, and the setting is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the set value is displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed. After that, based on the fact that the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a staff member of the amusement park or the like, the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated and stored) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is stored. Turns off. When the setting change state is terminated, the setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12.

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in the game stop state as in the case of the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state that accompanies this may also end.

When the effect control board 12 side receives the setting confirmation start command or the setting change start command, the control may be performed to notify that the setting is being confirmed or the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and a light emitting member such as a game effect lamp 9 may be made to emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on by, for example, pressing the clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17. Therefore, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, if the clear switch 92 is on, the initialization process of step S6 is performed. The setting change process of step S7 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch 92 is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 and the setting confirmation state can be controlled. .. When the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is off or the setting key 51 is off when the power supply is started, if the clear switch 92 is on, the initialization process of step S6 is performed. While it is executed, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch 92 is off, the recovery process of step S4 is executed but not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer is interrupted periodically every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and interrupts are permitted (step S10). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt process.

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to perform the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of times jackpots have occurred) and start information (starting) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information indicating the number of times of winning (information indicating the number of times of winning) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes the special symbol process process (step S25). By executing the special symbol process process for each timer interrupt by the CPU 103, it is possible to manage the execution and hold of the special symbol game, control the big hit game state and the small hit game state, control the game state, and the like.

Following the special symbol process processing, the normal symbol process processing is executed (step S26). By executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, the CPU 103 manages the execution and hold of the normal figure game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passing of the game ball through the passing gate 41). It enables opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per-figure hit". The execution of the normal figure game is performed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the number of normal figure reservations is displayed by turning on the normal figure hold display 25C.

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

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes the start winning prize determination process (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After storing the hold information and the number of hold storages, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the judgment result such as the occurrence of the start winning prize, the number of hold storages, and the look-ahead judgment is set on the effect control board 12. Be told. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 5 after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

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

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

When making various determinations based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the determination value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the determination result) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this fluctuation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is used by using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern based on a preliminary determination result of whether or not the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The process of deciding on is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The fluctuation pattern includes the execution time of the special symbol game (special symbol fluctuation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol (presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative symbol. It specifies the content of the effect (type of reach effect, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. In this special symbol change processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are set to change the special symbol, and the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol. It includes processing to measure. In addition, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "miss", the game state is also updated when the time saving state or the probability change state is controlled and the end of the number of cuts is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

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

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

The post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-opening process of the jackpot, a process of determining whether or not the number of executions of the round that opens the jackpot has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a jackpot game state when the maximum number of executions is reached. It includes processing to make settings to terminate. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of round executions reaches the upper limit, the special figure process flag is set. The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the post-launch processing is completed.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this jackpot end process, there is a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending effect as an effect action for notifying the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing to make various settings to start control and time reduction control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot end processing ends.

The small hit release preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This small hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting the large winning opening to be in the open state in the small hit game state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit release preprocessing ends.

The small hit opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to measure the elapsed time from the opening state of the big winning opening and to return the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. It includes processing to determine whether or not it is. When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the processing during the small hit opening process ends.

The small hit end process in step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit game state is executed has elapsed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end process ends.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a configuration in which the winning probability of a big hit and the payout rate change according to a set value. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, the jackpot winning probability and the ball output rate are changed by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value. For example, the set value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest probability of winning a big hit, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the probability of winning a big hit. In this example, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is. .. If the jackpot winning probability changes according to the set value, the ball output rate may also change according to the set value. While the jackpot winning probability is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state may change according to the set value. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be configured so that any one of a plurality of set values having different advantages for the player can be set. The set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the side of the main board 11 to the side of the effect control board 12.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 7A shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variable special figure is the first special figure, and FIG. 7B shows the second special figure of the variable special figure. A configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used in the case of the figure is shown. The display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101. In the display result determination table, the hit determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 is assigned to the special figure display result which is the variable display result of the special symbol according to the set value. The random number value MR1 is a random number value for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated in the range of 0 to 65535. As the display result determination table, a display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure may be used.

In the display result judgment table, when the game state is in the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values than in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) are displayed as a special figure of "big hit". Assigned to the result. As a result, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a high-probability state such as a probabilistic state in which the probabilistic change control is performed, there is a probability that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined to be controlled to the jackpot game state as compared with the low-probability state such as the normal state or the time-saving state. It gets higher.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, it is determined that the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is the same regardless of the game state or the set value. A value has been assigned. In the display result determination table for the second special figure, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit game state as a "small hit" is the display result for the first special figure regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned so that they have the same value as the judgment table. It should be noted that the probability of being determined to control the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit" may be different according to the set value. Regardless of the variable special figure, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit gaming state as "small hit" may be the same probability.

In the display result judgment table for the first special figure and the display result judgment table for the second special figure, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit judgment values is related to the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit. When the set value is 1, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and while only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set, the set value 2 to the set value 6 In this case, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value.

In the display result judgment table for the first special figure and the display result judgment table for the second special figure, when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values is a big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value for judgment. When the set value is 1, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit", so that only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set, while the set value 2 to the set value In the case of 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values is small for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the hit judgment value. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values is the set value as in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless, it is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value for judging the small hit. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit determination values is small for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the hit judgment value. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit determination values is the set value as in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless, it is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value for judging the small hit. The small hit determination value is set to a numerical range different from the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value regardless of the set value of 1 to 6. This prevents the numerical range of the small hit determination value from overlapping with the range of the large hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

The set value that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. The smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous the player may be. The playability may be changed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/320, and the probability variation state is 65%. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/200, and the gaming ball is provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7 during the jackpot game. While controlling the game state after the end of the big hit game to a probabilistic state based on passing through the switch, the game property (so-called V) in which the ratio of the game ball passing through the predetermined switch during the big hit game is different according to the fluctuation special figure. Probability variation type), and when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3, the jackpot probability is 1/320 and the small hit probability is 1/50, and the game is played during high base (during time reduction control). It may be a game property (so-called 1 type 2 type mixed type) in which a ball is controlled to a big hit gaming state based on passing through a predetermined switch provided inside the special variable winning ball device 7. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the game playability is the same, but the jackpot probability and the small hit are higher than when these set values are any of 1 to 3. A setting may be provided in which the number of prize balls that can be obtained during the jackpot game is small while the probability is high (for example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6). When the playability is changed according to the set value, a common switch may be used for different purposes. Specifically, when the set value is 1 to 3, the predetermined switch provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 is used as the effect switch (to execute the predetermined effect each time the game ball passes through the predetermined area. When the set value is 4 to 6, the predetermined switch is used as a game switch (for controlling the game state to the probability change state or the jackpot game state based on the game ball passing through the predetermined switch). It may be used as a switch).

The jackpot type may be determined at a different ratio depending on the set value based on the allocation of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common ratio regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at a different ratio depending on the set value based on the allocation of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the fluctuation pattern may be determined at a common ratio regardless of the set value. Since the execution rate of normal reach or super reach differs depending on the set value, the set value may be suggested by the frequency of execution of normal reach or super reach. Alternatively, the execution ratios of normal reach and super reach may be the same regardless of the set value. In addition, it may be possible to execute an arbitrary setting suggestion effect at different ratios according to the set value.

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 8 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; N), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

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

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

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitting body such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a movable body 32. Controls are performed to operate various production devices such as the driving operation of the LED. In addition, the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices is determined, determined, set, and the like according to the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11.

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

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 8 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 9, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the read-ahead notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

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

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

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In this variable display start setting process, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (fixed decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the reach effect, and various types are based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command. It is determined whether or not various effects such as a notice effect are executed, their modes, and the execution start timing. Then, an effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) that reflects the determination result and the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start executing the variable display of the decorative symbol, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is completed. The display control unit 123 starts the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 in response to the instruction to start the execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol.

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. The speakers 8L, 8 are driven by driving the movable body 32 and outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13.
During variable display of decorative symbols, such as outputting voice or sound effect from R, and turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 or decorative LED by outputting a command (illumination signal) to the lamp control board 14. Execute various production controls. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or a command is received from the main board 11 to specify that the fixed decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, the final decorative symbol, which is the display result of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the effect process during variable display ends.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command that specifies to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when receiving an effect control command that specifies to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, if the command specifies the start of the big hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to "6". Update to. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", which is a value corresponding to the small hit medium effect process. In addition, when the reception waiting time of the command elapses without receiving the command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing". Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the waiting process for hitting the special figure ends.

The small hit medium effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “4”. In this small hit medium effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the set content. .. Further, in the small hit middle effect processing, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify that the small hit game state is terminated, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small hit end effect. Update to a certain "5" and end the small hit medium production process.

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

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the jackpot effect processing, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the ending effect process "7" in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the jackpot game state. Update to "" and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process ends.

The jackpot determination table is a collection of data stored in RO101, and is a table in which a jackpot determination value to be compared with random R is set. The jackpot determination table includes a normal time (non-probability change state) jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a gaming state that is not a probability change state, that is, a non-probability change state) and a probability change time jackpot determination table used in the probability change state.

Each numerical value shown in the left column of FIG. 10-5 (A) is set as a jackpot judgment value in the normal jackpot determination table, and the right of FIG. 10-5 (A) is set in the probability variation jackpot determination table. Each numerical value described in the column is set as a jackpot judgment value. The jackpot judgment value set in the jackpot judgment table at the time of probability change becomes the jackpot judgment value common to the jackpot judgment value set in the jackpot judgment table at normal time (referred to as the jackpot judgment value at normal time or the first jackpot judgment value) at the time of probability change. Due to the addition of the unique jackpot determination value, a larger number of jackpot determination values (referred to as the probability variation jackpot determination value or the second jackpot determination value) than the probability variation jackpot determination table are set. As a result, it is determined that the probability change state is a big hit with a higher probability than the normal state.

The CPU 103 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 104 at a predetermined time and compares the extracted value with the value of the jackpot determination random number (random R). The jackpot determination random number value is shown in FIG. 10-5 (A). If any of the jackpot determination values shown in) is matched, it is decided to make a jackpot (normal jackpot or probability variation jackpot) for the special symbol.

Considering that the jackpot probability in the normal time is about 1/300, the probability that the variable display result will be a 5R probability variation jackpot in Special Figure 1 is about 1/3000 (= 1/10 * 1/300).

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-5 (B), 40 random 1 values are assigned to the 1st special figure out of 100 random 1s in which the 10R probability variation jackpot is in the range of 0 to 99. Therefore, the probability that the 10R probability variation jackpot will be selected when it hits the special figure 1 is 2/5 (= 40/100). Considering that the jackpot probability in the normal time is about 1/300, the probability that the variable display result will be a 10R probability variation jackpot in Special Figure 1 is about 1/750 (= 2/5 * 1/300).

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-5 (B), the probability of becoming one of the big hits in Special Figure 1 is about 1/300 (= 1/600 + 1/3000 + 1/750), so the probability of losing is about 299. It becomes / 300.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10-5 (C), 100 random 1 values are assigned out of 100 random 1s in which the 10R probability variation jackpot is in the range of 0 to 99 for the second special figure. There is.

Using such various jackpot type determination tables, the CPU 103 determines the type corresponding to the jackpot type determination value in which the random 1 value matches as the jackpot type, and the random 1 value matches as the jackpot symbol. Determine the jackpot design you made. As a result, the jackpot type and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot type are determined at the same time.

According to such various jackpot type determination tables, the percentage of "10R probability variation jackpot" selected for the jackpot of the second special symbol is higher than that of the jackpot type that can be selected in the first special symbol, and the player The rate at which a jackpot type that is advantageous to the player is selected is high.

(Determination table of fluctuation pattern on the main side)
FIG. 10-9 is an explanatory diagram showing a fluctuation pattern determination table on the main side. In the present embodiment, the game control microcomputer 100 first determines the post-variation pattern, and then determines the pre-variation pattern.

FIG. 10-9 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a post-variation pattern determination table on the main side. As shown in FIG. 10-9 (A), the post-variation pattern is determined with a different probability depending on the pre-determined hit type.

Specifically, when the predetermined hit type is "missing", the non-reach (missing) of the post-variation number b1, the normal reach (missing) of the post-variation number b2, and the SP reach (missing) of the post-variation number b3. , And one of the final reach (missing) of the post-variation number b4, of which the number of possible judgment values of the post-variation number b1 is the largest (the probability of determination is the highest), followed by the post-variation number b2. The number of possible judgment values is large (the decision probability is the next highest), and the number of possible judgment values of the decision probability of the post-variation number b4 is the smallest (the decision probability is the lowest).

When the pre-determined hit type is "5R normal jackpot", out of the normal reach (hit) of the post-variation number b5, the SP reach (hit) of the post-variation number b6, and the final reach (hit) of the post-variation number b7. Among them, the number of possible judgment values of the post-variation number b5 is the largest (the probability of determination is the highest), and the number of possible judgment values of the post-variation number b6 is the largest (the probability of determination is next). Higher), and the number of possible judgment values for the determination probability of the post-variation number b7 is the smallest (the determination probability is the lowest).

The post-variation pattern is determined so that the probability of losing is the highest, and when the result of the special figure game is a 5R normal jackpot, the post-variation pattern is determined so that the probability of hitting by normal reach is the highest. When the result of the special figure game is a 5R probability variation jackpot, the post-variation pattern is determined so that the probability of winning is the highest by SP reach, and when the result of the special figure game is a 10R probability variation jackpot, the final reach. The post-variation pattern is determined so that the probability of winning is highest. As a result, when the final reach is reached, the probability of becoming the most advantageous 10R probability variation jackpot for the player is high, and when the SP reach is reached, the probability of becoming the next advantageous 5R probability variation jackpot for the player is high. From this, the final reach is the most advantageous reach for the player, and the SP reach is the next advantageous reach for the player.

FIG. 10-9 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a pre-variation pattern determination table on the main side. As shown in FIG. 10-9 (B), the pre-variation pattern is determined with a different probability depending on the pre-determined post-variation pattern.

The number of values is large (the decision probability is the next highest), the number of possible judgment values of the previous variable number a8 is large (the decision probability is the next highest), and the number of possible judgment values of the previous variable number a9 is the smallest (the number of possible judgment values is the smallest). The decision probability is the lowest).

When the pre-determined post-variation pattern is the final reach (missing) of the post-variation number b4, the final reach development after the normal reach (role ○) after one pseudo-variation of the pre-variation number a10, and the pre-variation number a11 It is determined to be one of the final reach developments after the normal reach (role ○) after the pseudo-variation of 2 times, and among them, the number of possible judgment values of the previous variation number a10 is the largest (the probability of determination is the highest). The number of possible judgment values of the previous variation number a11 is the smallest (the determination probability is the lowest).

When the pre-determined post-variation pattern is the normal reach (win) of the post-variation number b5, the normal reach of the pre-variation number a4 (feature x) and the normal reach after one pseudo-variation of the pre-variation number a5 (feature x) Among them, the number of possible judgment values of the previous variable number a5 is the largest (the highest probability of determination), and the number of possible judgment values of the previous variable number a4 is the smallest (the highest probability of determination). (Low).

The number of values is large (the decision probability is the next highest), the number of possible judgment values of the previous variable number a7 is large (the decision probability is the next highest), and the number of possible judgment values of the previous variable number a6 is the smallest (the number of possible judgment values is the smallest) The decision probability is the lowest).

When the pre-determined post-variation pattern is the final reach (hit) of the post-variation number b7, the final reach development after the normal reach (role ○) after one pseudo-variation of the pre-variation number a10, and the pre-variation number a11. It is determined to be one of the final reach developments after the normal reach (role ○) after the pseudo-variation of 2 times, and among them, the number of possible judgment values of the previous variation number a11 is the largest (the probability of determination is the highest). The number of possible judgment values of the previous variation number a10 is the smallest (the determination probability is the lowest).

In this way, the game control microcomputer 100 determines the pre-variation pattern with different probabilities according to the type of the post-variation pattern determined in advance, and when the pseudo-ream (two or more pseudo-variations) is executed. It is easy to develop into SP Chili and final reach. The variation pattern command in which the variation pattern (variation pattern shown in FIG. 10-7) including the pre-variation pattern and the post-variation pattern determined by the game control microcomputer 100 is defined is the game control microcomputer 100. Is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120. Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines the sub-side variation pattern (variation pattern shown in FIG. 10-8) based on the variation pattern command (main variation number) received from the game control microcomputer 100.

[Pseudo fluctuation pattern on the sub side]
FIG. 10-10 is an explanatory diagram showing a pseudo pattern determination table on the sub side. In the present embodiment, the sub-variation numbers 6, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17, 22, 23, 26, 27, 32, which are patterns in which the pseudo-variation is executed twice as a pseudo-ream by the effect control CPU 120. , 33, and sub-variation numbers 12 to 15, 18, 19, 28 to 31, 34, 35, which are patterns for executing pseudo-variation three times as a pseudo-ream. A pseudo pattern, which is a pseudo variation pattern in the variation pattern, is determined.

In the case of the fluctuation patterns of the sub-variation numbers 6, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17, 22, 23, 26, 27, 32, and 33, the effect control CPU 120 has a pseudo pattern for each of the two pseudo fluctuations. May be determined, or the pseudo pattern may be determined by combining the two pseudo-variations. Further, in the case of the fluctuation patterns of the sub-variation numbers 12 to 15, 18, 19, 28 to 31, 34, and 35, the effect control CPU 120 may determine the pseudo pattern for each of the three pseudo fluctuations. The pseudo pattern may be determined by collecting the three pseudo fluctuations.

FIG. 10-10 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the pseudo pattern. As shown in FIG. 10-10 (A), the pseudo pattern includes a weak pseudo pattern and strong pseudo patterns A to C. The weak pseudo pattern is a weak pseudo pattern that is more disadvantageous to the player than the strong pseudo pattern. In the pseudo pattern, the reach fanning is executed in the period t1, the character "NEXT" is displayed after the special symbol is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t2, and the image is displayed in the subsequent period t3. The number of variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed on the screen of the device 5, the suggestion is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t4, and then the decorative symbol is variably displayed in the subsequent period t5. ..

Reach fanning is an effect that encourages the player whether or not the variable display mode is the reach mode. The special symbol is a symbol that suggests the execution of the revariable display, and when the special symbol is displayed, it is suggested to the player that the revariable display is started thereafter. The display of a special symbol is called a special symbol display. The number-of-times display is an effect of displaying a number-of-times image suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed. The suggestion display is a display that suggests the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed, and the number of times image is displayed at the edge of the screen of the image display device 5 together with the characters that suggest the revariable display.

The strong pseudo pattern A is a strong pseudo pattern that is more advantageous to the player than the weak pseudo pattern. In the strong pseudo pattern A, the reach line is executed in the period t1, the special display is performed after the characters of the quote are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t2, and the image is displayed in the subsequent period t3. The number of variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed on the screen of the device 5, the suggestion is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t4, and then the decorative symbol is revariably displayed in the subsequent period t5. To do.

The reach line is an effect of notifying the player that the variable display mode has changed to the reach mode, and the characters "reach" appear and are displayed in three times. The characters of the quote include characters related to the quotes appearing in the original concept of the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, the quotes (words) issued by the main character or other main characters appearing in the production of the pachinko gaming machine 1, or the pachinko. These are quotes (words) issued by the main character and other main characters that do not appear in the production of the game machine 1. The special display is an effect of displaying a plurality of images including the characters of a saying.

In addition, the reach line is performed once or a plurality of times during the period in which the variable display based on one hold storage is executed. For example, in the case of a variable pattern in which the pseudo-ream is not executed, the "reach" such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" is used to notify the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode. The characters appear and are displayed in three parts. In this way, in the case of a variation pattern in which the pseudo-ream is not executed, only the first reach line is performed.

Further, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which a pseudo-ream is executed in which the pseudo-variation is performed once, the first variable display (big hit or miss) is performed in order to notify the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode. When the result is not displayed (pseudo-variation), the characters "reach" such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" appear and appear in three times, and then the second variable display (big hit or miss). The word "reach" appears and is displayed in three parts, such as "reach", "reach", and "reach". In this way, in the case of the fluctuation pattern in which the pseudo-ream in which the pseudo-variation is performed once is executed, the first and second reach lines are performed.

Further, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which a pseudo-ream is executed in which the pseudo-variation is performed twice, the first variable display (big hit or miss) is performed in order to notify the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode. When the result is not displayed (pseudo-variation), the characters "reach" such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" appear and appear in three times, and then the second variable display (big hit or miss). The word "reach" appears and is displayed in three parts, such as "reach", "reach", and "reach", and then the third variable display (big hit or big hit). At the time of variable display), the characters "reach" such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" appear and are displayed in three parts. As described above, in the case of the fluctuation pattern in which the pseudo-ream in which the pseudo-variation is performed twice is executed, the first, second, and third reach lines are performed.

The strong pseudo pattern B is a strong pseudo pattern that is more advantageous to the player than the weak pseudo pattern. In the strong pseudo pattern B, the special reach notification is executed in the period t1, the special display is performed after the characters of the quote are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t2, and the image is displayed in the subsequent period t3. The number of variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed on the screen of the display device 5, the suggestion is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t4, and then the decorative symbol is revariable in the subsequent period t5. indicate.

The special reach notification is an effect of notifying the player that the variable display mode has changed to the reach mode. After the character "ri" appears and is displayed in five times, the character "reach" is displayed. Appears and is displayed.

The strong pseudo pattern C is a pattern of a strong pseudo system that is more advantageous to the player than the weak pseudo pattern, and is a pattern that switches to the production of the strong pseudo system by pretending to be a weak pseudo pattern of the weak pseudo system. In the strong pseudo pattern C, the reach fanning is executed in the period t1 and a special symbol is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t2 to pretend to be a weak pseudo pattern of the weak pseudo system. The special display is performed after the characters of the quote are displayed by switching to the effect of, and the number of variable display of the decorative pattern is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 in the subsequent period t3, and in the subsequent period t4. After the suggestion display is performed on the screen of the image display device 5, the decorative pattern is revariably displayed in the subsequent period t5.

As described above, in the pseudo-variation of the pseudo-people, one of the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern A to C is executed, and each pseudo pattern is executed according to a predetermined pattern. Further, in both the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern A to C, a predetermined effect is executed at each predetermined time such as the periods t1 to t5. For example, in the weak pseudo pattern, the reach fanning is executed within the period t1, in the strong pseudo pattern A, the reach line is executed within the period t1, and in the strong pseudo pattern B, the special reach notification is executed within the period t1. Will be executed. As described above, the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command for specifying whether or not to execute the pseudo sequence from the game control microcomputer 100, the execution time of the variable display, and the like, but executes the pseudo sequence. Even if one of the variation pattern commands (variation pattern commands corresponding to the main variation numbers 5, 7 to 11, 13, 15 to 19 shown in FIG. 10-7) is received, the execution time of the variable display It is possible to perform different effects depending on the type of pseudo pattern using the same time in.

FIG. 10-10 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a pseudo pattern determination table. As shown in FIG. 10-10 (B), the pseudo pattern is determined with a different probability depending on the hit type determined in advance.

Specifically, when the pre-determined hit type is "missing", the weak pseudo pattern is determined with a 90% probability, the strong pseudo pattern A is determined with a 4% probability, and the strong pseudo pattern A is determined with a 3% probability. It is determined to be pseudo pattern B, and it is determined to be strong pseudo pattern C with a probability of 3%. When the pre-determined hit type is "5R normal jackpot", the weak pseudo pattern is determined with an 80% probability, the strong pseudo pattern A is determined with a 10% probability, and the strong pseudo pattern B is determined with a 5% probability. Is determined, and the strong pseudo pattern C is determined with a probability of 5%. When the pre-determined hit type is "5R probability variation jackpot", it is determined to be a weak pseudo pattern with a 70% probability, a strong pseudo pattern A with a 10% probability, and a strong pseudo pattern B with a 10% probability. Is determined, and the strong pseudo pattern C is determined with a probability of 10%. When the pre-determined hit type is "10R probability variation jackpot", it is determined to be a weak pseudo pattern with a 60% probability, a strong pseudo pattern A with a 10% probability, and a strong pseudo pattern B with a 10% probability. Is determined, and the strong pseudo pattern C is determined with a probability of 20%.

Here, as described with reference to FIG. 10-5, the probability that the display result of the variable display in the normal time will be a 5R normal jackpot is 1/600. And since the probability of being determined as a weak pseudo pattern when the hit type is 5R normal jackpot is 80/100, the probability that the display result of the variable display is 5R normal jackpot and is determined as a weak pseudo pattern is 8. / 6000 (= 1/600 * 80/100). On the other hand, when the hit type is a 5R normal jackpot, the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 20/100, so the probability that the display result of the variable display will be a 5R normal jackpot and the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 2 / 6000 (= 1/600 * 20/100).

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 10-5, the probability that the display result of the variable display in the normal state will be a 5R probability variation jackpot is 1/3000. Then, when the hit type is a 5R probability variation jackpot, the probability of being determined as a weak pseudo pattern is 70/100, so the probability that the display result of the variable display is a 5R probability variation jackpot and is determined as a weak pseudo pattern is 7. It becomes / 30,000 (= 1/3000 * 70/100). On the other hand, when the hit type is a 5R probability variation jackpot, the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 30/100, so the probability that the display result of the variable display will be a 5R probability variation jackpot and the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 3 It becomes / 30000 (= 1/3000 * 30/100).

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 10-5, the probability that the display result of the variable display in the normal state will be a 10R probability variation jackpot is 1/750. Then, when the hit type is a 10R probability variation jackpot, the probability of being determined as a weak pseudo pattern is 60/100, so the probability that the display result of the variable display is a 10R probability variation jackpot and is determined as a weak pseudo pattern is 6 It becomes / 7500 (= 1/750 * 60/100). On the other hand, when the hit type is a 10R probability variation jackpot, the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 40/100, so the probability that the display result of the variable display will be a 10R probability variation jackpot and the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 4 It becomes / 7500 (= 1/750 * 40/100).

From these facts, when the display result of the variable display becomes one of the big hits and the pseudo-ream is executed, the probability of being determined as the weak pseudo pattern is about 7/300 (= 8/6000 + 7/3000 + 6/7500). ). On the other hand, when the display result of the variable display becomes one of the big hits and the pseudo-ream is executed, the probability of being determined as the strong pseudo pattern is about 3/300 (= 2/6000 + 3/3000 + 7/3000). ..

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 10-5, the probability that the display result of the variable display in the normal state will be off is 299/300. Since the probability of being determined to be a weak pseudo pattern when the hit type is out of order is 90/100, the probability that the display result of the variable display will be out of order and to be determined to be a weak pseudo pattern is about 270/300 ( = 299/300 * 90/100). On the other hand, if the hit type is out of order, the probability of being determined as a strong pseudo pattern is 10/100, so the probability that the display result of the variable display will be out of order and be determined as a strong pseudo pattern is about 30/300 ( = 299/300 * 10/100).

In this way, when the pseudo-ream is executed during the variable display, the pseudo-variation by the weak pseudo-pattern is executed in most of them, whereas the pseudo-variation by the strong pseudo pattern is more than the pseudo-variation by the weak pseudo pattern. Execution frequency is low. For example, as for the frequency of appearance at the time of deviation, the pseudo-variation by the strong pseudo pattern is executed only 1/9 of the frequency of the pseudo variation by the weak pseudo pattern. However, when the pseudo variation by the weak pseudo pattern is executed, the jackpot is 7/300, whereas when the pseudo variation by the strong pseudo pattern is executed, the jackpot is 3/300. Therefore, the difference between the two is small. That is, the pseudo-variation due to the weak pseudo-pattern is executed much more frequently than the pseudo-variation due to the strong pseudo pattern, but the reliability of the jackpot is higher for the pseudo-variation due to the strong pseudo pattern than for the pseudo-variation due to the weak pseudo pattern. It has become. Therefore, the pseudo variation due to the strong pseudo pattern is a pseudo variation that is more advantageous to the player than the pseudo variation due to the weak pseudo pattern.

FIG. 10-10 (C) is an explanatory diagram showing a specific reach fanning effect execution table. The specific reach fanning effect is an effect that can be executed in the period t1 when the pseudo variation is performed, and is an effect that encourages the player whether or not the variable display mode is the reach mode. FIG. 10-10 (C)
As shown in the above, the specific reach fanning effect is determined with a different probability according to a predetermined hit type.

Specifically, when the hit type determined in advance is "missing", the specific reach fanning effect is executed with a probability of 5%. When the hit type determined in advance is "5R normal jackpot", the specific reach fanning effect is executed with a probability of 10%. When the hit type determined in advance is "5R probability variation big hit", the specific reach fanning effect is executed with a probability of 15%. When the hit type determined in advance is "10R probability variation big hit", the specific reach fanning effect is executed with a probability of 20%.

In this way, the specific reach fanning effect is executed with the highest probability at the time of the 10R probability variation jackpot, then with the highest probability at the time of the 5R probability variation jackpot, and at the lowest probability at the time of the loss. As a result, the player can be expected to be a big hit and a probabilistic big hit when the specific reach fanning effect is executed. In other words, the player can be expected to perform a specific reach fanning effect.

[Transition of production related to pseudo-ren]
FIG. 10-11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the transition of the effect related to the pseudo-ream. As shown in FIG. 10-11, when the pseudo-ream is executed, the effect transitions based on any of the pseudo patterns determined using the pseudo-pattern determination table shown in FIG. 10-10 (B).

Specifically, in the weak pseudo pattern, the reach fanning is executed in the period t1, and the weak pseudo system effect (for example, the display of the special symbol, the character display of "NEXT", the decorative symbol) is performed in the subsequent periods t2 to t4. (Variable display number of times display, suggestion display, etc.) is executed, and the decorative symbol is revariably displayed in the subsequent period t5.

In the strong pseudo pattern A, the reach line is executed in the period t1, and in the subsequent periods t2 to t4, the effect of the strong pseudo system (for example, the character display of the quote, the special display, the number display of the variable display of the decorative pattern, and the suggestion display) Etc.) is executed, and the decorative pattern is revariably displayed in the subsequent period t5.

In the strong pseudo pattern B, the special reach notification is executed in the period t1, and the strong pseudo system effect (for example, the character display of the quote, the special display, the variable display of the decorative pattern, and the suggestion) are performed in the subsequent periods t2 to t4. (Display, etc.) is executed, and the decorative pattern is revariably displayed in the subsequent period t5.

In the strong pseudo pattern C, the reach fanning is executed in the period t1 as in the weak pseudo pattern, but in the subsequent period t2 to t4, the effect of the strong pseudo system (for example, from the display of the special symbol to the character display of the wise saying). Rewriting, special display, variable display count display of decorative symbol, suggestion display, etc.) are executed, and the decorative symbol is revariably displayed in the subsequent period t5.

[Determining color at reach line]
The determination of the color used in the reach line will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-12 to 10-15.

(Determination of final color on reach line)
FIG. 10-12 is an explanatory diagram showing a reach line final color lottery table on the sub side. As described above, the reach line is an effect of notifying the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode, and the characters "reach" appear and are displayed in three times and are displayed as one. Such reach lines are performed up to three times during the variable display based on the hold memory. In the present embodiment, the color of each "reach" character is different depending on the effect control CPU 120 so that the expectation of the jackpot differs depending on the color of the "reach" character displayed for the third time in each reach line. Is determined.

In the reach line final color lottery table shown in FIG. 10-12, the final color of the character "reach" in the reach line is determined. For example, in the case of a variation pattern in which the pseudo-ream is not executed, only the first reach line is performed, but the last "reach" of the "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the first reach line is performed. The color of the letters is determined by lottery as the final color.

Further, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which the pseudo-ream in which the pseudo-variation is performed once is executed, the first and second reach lines are performed, but the "reach" and "reach" in each of the first and second reach lines are performed. , "Reach", the color of the last "reach" character is determined by lottery as the final color.

Further, in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which a pseudo-ream is executed in which the pseudo-variation is performed twice, the first, second, and third reach lines are performed, and the first, second, and third reach lines are performed. Of the "reach", "reach", and "reach" on the line, the color of the last "reach" character is determined by lottery as the final color.

Further, in the reach line final color lottery table, among the fluctuation patterns on the sub side shown in FIG. 10-8, the final color is determined by lottery based only on the pattern of the front fluctuation, and the pattern of the rear fluctuation is not referred to. The reason is that since the period during which the pseudo-ream is performed is only the pre-variation, it is sufficient to refer only to the pattern of the pre-variation for information on whether or not the pseudo-ream is performed. In this way, if the final color is determined by lottery based only on the pre-variation pattern, the information to be referred to is obtained rather than the final color being determined by lottery while referring to the post-variation pattern in addition to the pre-variation pattern. Since the number can be reduced, the burden of processing related to the lottery of the final color in the effect control CPU 120 can be reduced.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10-12, in the reach line final color lottery table, 21 types of reach line patterns 0 to 20 are used for the pre-variation patterns corresponding to each of the pre-variation numbers A1 to A19. Each decision probability of is assigned.

The reach line pattern 0 is a pattern in which variable display is not performed. Reach line patterns 1 to 3 are patterns in which variable display (variable display in which the result of big hit or miss is displayed) is performed only once. The reach line patterns 4 to 10 are patterns in which a pseudo-ream in which the pseudo-variation is performed once is executed, and the second time after the first variable display (pseudo-variation in which the result of big hit or loss is not displayed) is performed. It is a pattern in which variable display (variable display in which the result of big hit or miss is displayed) is performed. The reach line patterns 11 to 20 are patterns in which a pseudo-ream in which the pseudo-variation is performed twice is executed, and the first variable display (pseudo-variation in which the result of a big hit or a miss is not displayed) is performed, and then 2 This is a pattern in which the third variable display (pseudo-variation in which the result of big hit or miss is not displayed) is performed, and then the third variable display (variable display in which the result of big hit or miss is displayed) is performed. In these reach patterns, the characters "reach" such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" appear and appear in three times in each variable display, and the third "reach" is displayed in each variable display. The color of the characters "reach" is predetermined as the final color.

In the reach line final color lottery table, the final color in one or more variable displays may be determined to be red for the pre-variation patterns of pre-variation numbers A6, A7, A10-A19 that develop into SP reach or final reach. The decision probability is assigned as follows. For example, for the pre-variation patterns of the pre-variation numbers A6 and A7, the reach line pattern 3 in which the final color in the first variable display is red can be determined. For the pre-variation patterns of the pre-variation A10 to A13, the reach line patterns 7 to 10 in which the final color in the first or second variable display is red can be determined. For the pre-variation patterns of the pre-variation A14 to A19, the reach line patterns 14 to 20 in which the final color in any of the first to third variable displays is red can be determined.

As a result, when the final color of the reach line in the variable display turns red, there is a probability that the reach notified by the reach line will develop into an SP reach with a higher probability of becoming a 5R probability variation jackpot or a 10R probability variation jackpot than the normal reach. It gets higher. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the final color of the reach line and expect the final color to be red.

Further, in the reach line final color lottery table, the final color in one or a plurality of variable displays can be determined to be gold with respect to the pre-variation patterns of the pre-variation numbers A12, A13, A18, and A19 that develop into the final reach. The decision probability is assigned to. For example, for the pre-variation patterns of the pre-variation numbers A12 and A13, the reach line pattern 10 in which the final color in the second variable display is gold can be determined. For the pre-variation patterns of the pre-variation A18 and A19, the reach line pattern 20 in which the final color in the third variable display is gold can be determined.

As a result, when the final color of the reach line in the variable display becomes gold, the reach notified by the reach line is more likely to be a 5R probability variation jackpot or a 10R probability variation jackpot than the normal reach, and 10R than the SP reach. The probability of developing into the final reach, which has a high probability of becoming a probabilistic jackpot, increases. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the final color of the reach line and expect the final color to be gold.

FIG. 10-13 is an explanatory diagram showing a reach line first color lottery table on the sub side. In the reach line first color lottery table shown in FIG. 10-13, the "reach" in the first reach line has a probability corresponding to the reach line pattern determined in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12. , "Reach", "Reach" The color of each "reach" character is determined by lottery.

For example, when the first and second reach lines are executed and the reach line pattern 10 in which the final color of the first reach line is red and the final color of the second reach line is gold is determined, the first time. The color of each "reach" character of "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the reach line of is determined to be one of the reach line patterns 5 to 10. In addition, the first, second, and third reach lines are executed, the final color of the first reach line is red, the final color of the second reach line is red, and the final color of the third reach line is red. When the reach line pattern 20 in which is golden is determined, the color of each "reach" character of "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the first reach line is any of the reach line patterns 5 to 10. Is decided.

FIG. 10-14 is an explanatory diagram showing a reach line second color lottery table on the sub side. In the reach line second color lottery table shown in FIG. 10-14, the “reach” in the second reach line has a probability corresponding to the reach line pattern determined in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12. , "Reach", "Reach" The color of each "reach" character is determined by lottery.

For example, when the first and second reach lines are executed and the reach line pattern 10 in which the final color of the first reach line is red and the final color of the second reach line is gold is determined, the second time. The color of each "reach" character of "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the reach line of is determined to be one of the reach line patterns 11 and 12. In addition, the first, second, and third reach lines are executed, the final color of the first reach line is red, the final color of the second reach line is red, and the final color of the third reach line is red. When the reach line pattern 20 in which is golden is determined, the color of each "reach" character of "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the first reach line is any of the reach line patterns 5 to 10. Is decided.

FIG. 10-15 is an explanatory diagram showing a reach line third color lottery table on the sub side. In the reach line third color lottery table shown in FIG. 10-15, the "reach" in the third reach line has a probability corresponding to the reach line pattern determined in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12. , "Reach", "Reach" The color of each "reach" character is determined by lottery.

For example, when the first and second reach lines are executed and the reach line pattern 10 in which the final color of the first reach line is red and the final color of the second reach line is gold is determined, the second time. The color of each "reach" character of "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the reach line of is determined to be the reach line pattern 0. In addition, the first, second, and third reach lines are executed, the final color of the first reach line is red, the final color of the second reach line is red, and the final color of the third reach line is red. When the reach line pattern 20 in which is golden is determined, the color of each "reach" character of "reach", "reach", and "reach" in the first reach line is any of reach line patterns 11 and 12. Is decided.

[motion]
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the feature unit 087F will be described. First, processing by the CPU 103 mounted on the main board 11 will be described.

(Special design normal processing)
FIG. 10-16 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol normal processing. As shown in FIG. 10-16, in the special symbol normal processing, the CPU 103 uses the first reserved storage buffer (storage buffer for storing the reserved storage information of the first special symbol) or the second reserved storage buffer (second special). It is determined whether or not there is hold storage data in the storage buffer for storing the hold storage information of the symbol (step 087FS001). When there is no hold storage data in either the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer (N in step 087FS001), it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed from the suspension of fluctuation (step 087FS002). If a predetermined period does not elapse from the suspension of fluctuation (N in step 087FS002), the special symbol normal processing is terminated. On the other hand, when a predetermined period has elapsed from the suspension of fluctuation (Y in step 087FS002), a process for transmitting a customer waiting demo designation command is performed (step 087FS003), and the special symbol normal process is terminated. Here, when the customer waiting demo designation command is transmitted, the customer waiting demo designation command transmission completed flag indicating that the customer waiting demo designation command has been sent is set. Then, when the special symbol normal processing after the next timer interrupt is executed after the customer waiting demo designation command is transmitted, the customer is repeated based on the fact that the customer waiting demo designation command sent flag is set. It is controlled not to send the wait demo specification command. Such a customer waiting demo designation command sent flag is reset when the next variation display of the special symbol is started.

When there is hold storage data in the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer (Y in step 087FS001), the CPU 103 indicates that the first data among the data set in the hold specific area indicates "second". Determine if it is data (step 08)
7FS004). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is not the data indicating the "second" (that is, the data indicating the "first") (N in step 087FS004), the CPU 103 uses the special symbol pointer (third). Data indicating "first" is set in (a flag indicating whether the special symbol process processing is being performed for the first special symbol or the special symbol process processing is being performed for the second special symbol) (step 087FS005). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is the data indicating "second" (Y in step 087FS004), the CPU 103 sets the data indicating "second" in the special symbol pointer (step 087FS006). ).

In this embodiment, hereinafter, the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special are performed according to whether the data indicating the "first" is set or the data indicating the "second" is set in the special symbol pointer. The variable display of the symbol is executed using a common processing routine. When the data indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation display of the first special symbol is performed based on the reserved storage data stored in the first reserved storage buffer. On the other hand, when the data indicating "second" is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation display of the second special symbol is performed based on the reserved storage data stored in the second reserved storage buffer.

Under the control of step 087FS004 to step 087FS006, if even one data of the second reserved storage exists in the second reserved storage buffer, the variation display of the second special symbol based on the data of the second reserved storage is displayed. 1 Priority is given to the variable display of the first special symbol based on the data in the hold storage.

Next, the CPU 103 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number = 1 indicated by the special symbol pointer and stores it in the reserved storage buffer of the RAM 102 (step 087FS007). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 has each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number = 1 in the first reserved storage buffer. Is read and stored in the hold storage buffer of the RAM 102. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the CPU 103 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number = 1 in the second reserved storage buffer. It is stored in the hold storage buffer of the RAM 102.

Then, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the hold storage counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (step 087FS008). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the first hold storage counter and sets each storage area in the first hold storage buffer. Shift the content. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the count value of the second hold storage counter is subtracted by 1, and the contents of each storage area in the second hold storage buffer are shifted.

That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 is placed in the storage area corresponding to the first hold storage number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first hold storage buffer of the RAM 102. Each stored random number value is stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number = n-1. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", each stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second reserved storage buffer of the RAM 102. The random number value is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number = n-1.

Therefore, the order in which each random number value stored in each storage area corresponding to each first reserved storage number (or each second reserved storage number) is always the first reserved storage number (or the first reserved storage number). The order of the second reserved memory) = 1, 2, 3, 4 is matched.

Next, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the hold storage number designation command indicated by the special symbol pointer to the effect control CPU 120 based on the value of the hold storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer after subtraction (). Step 087FS009). In this case, when a value indicating "first" is set in the special symbol pointer, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the first hold storage number designation command. Further, when a value indicating "second" is set in the special symbol pointer, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the second hold storage number designation command.

Next, the CPU 103 transmits a background designation command (step 087FS010), reads a random R (random number for jackpot determination) from the hold storage buffer, and executes the jackpot determination module (step 087FS011). In this case, the CPU 103 reads out the jackpot determination random numbers extracted in the start winning determination process and stored in advance in the first hold storage buffer and the second hold storage buffer, and performs the jackpot determination. The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a predetermined jackpot determination value (see FIG. 10-5) with a random number for jackpot determination, and executes a process of determining a jackpot if they match. That is, it is a program that executes a jackpot determination process.

In the jackpot determination process, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), the probability of becoming a jackpot is higher than when the gaming state is in the non-probability state (normal gaming state and time saving state). ing. Specifically, the number of jackpot judgment values is probablely changed between the jackpot judgment table at the time of probability change (the table in which the numerical value on the right side of FIG. 10-5 (A) is set) in which a large number of jackpot judgment values are set in advance. A normal time jackpot determination table (a table in which the numerical value on the left side of FIG. 10-5 (A) is set), which is set less than the hour jackpot determination table, is provided. Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, and when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the CPU 103 performs a jackpot determination process using the probabilistic jackpot determination table, and the gaming state is normal. In the state or the time saving state, the jackpot determination process is performed using the normal jackpot determination table. That is, when the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) matches any of the big hit determination values shown in FIG. 10-5 (A), the CPU 103 determines that the special symbol is a big hit. If it is decided to make a big hit (Y in step 087FS011), the process proceeds to step 087FS012. It should be noted that deciding whether or not to make a big hit means deciding whether or not to shift to the big hit game state, but it also means deciding whether or not to make the stop symbol in the special symbol a big hit symbol. ..

It should be noted that confirmation of whether or not the current gaming state is in the probabilistic state is performed depending on whether or not the probabilistic flag is set. The probability change flag is set when the game state is changed to the probability change state, and is reset when the probability change state is finished. Specifically, the probability variation flag is set in the process of ending the jackpot game, and then either the condition that the fluctuation display is performed a predetermined number of times (150 times) or the condition that the next jackpot is determined. When the earlier condition is satisfied, the change display of the special symbol is ended and the stop symbol is reset at the timing of the stop display.

If the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) does not match any of the big hit determination values (N in step 087FS011), the process proceeds to step 087FS016 described later.

If the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) matches any of the big hit determination values in step 087FS011, the CPU 103 sets the big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit (step 087FS012). The jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot game ends. Then, as a table used to determine the jackpot type to one of a plurality of types, the first special symbol jackpot type determination table in FIG. 10-5 (B) and the second table in FIG. 10-5 (C). One of the special symbol jackpot type determination tables is selected (step 087FS013). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 selects the first special symbol jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 10-5 (B). Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the CPU 103 selects the second special symbol jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 10-5 (C).

Next, the CPU 103 reads out the jackpot type determination random numbers extracted in the start winning determination process and stored in advance in the first hold storage buffer and the second hold storage buffer, and holds them using the jackpot type determination table selected in step 087FS013. The jackpot type and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the value corresponding to the value of the random number (random 1) for determining the jackpot type stored in the storage buffer are determined (step 087FS014).

As shown in FIGS. 10-5 (B) and 10-5 (C), for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the relationship between the jackpot type and the jackpot symbol is set so that the jackpot symbol differs for each jackpot type. Since the jackpot type and the jackpot symbol are determined at the same time, the correspondence between the jackpot symbol and the game control according to the jackpot type is simplified, so that the game control can be prevented from becoming complicated.

Further, the CPU 103 sets the jackpot type data indicating the determined jackpot type in the jackpot type buffer in the RAM 102 (step 087FS015). For example, when the jackpot type is "5R normal jackpot", "01" is set as the jackpot type data. When the jackpot type is "5R probability variation jackpot", "02" is set as the jackpot type data. When the jackpot type is "10R probability variation jackpot", "03" is set as the jackpot type data.

Next, the CPU 103 sets a stop symbol of the special symbol (step 087FS016). Specifically, when the jackpot flag is not set, "-", which is a lost symbol, is set as a stop symbol of the special symbol. When the jackpot flag is set, the jackpot symbol determined in step 087FS014 is set as the stop symbol of the special symbol according to the determination result of the jackpot type. That is, when the jackpot type is determined to be "5R normal jackpot", "1" is set as the stop symbol of the special symbol. When the jackpot type is determined to be "5R probability variation jackpot", "3" is set as the stop symbol of the special symbol. When the jackpot type is determined to be "10R probability variation jackpot", "7" is determined as the stop symbol of the special symbol.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits a display result designation command (step 087FS017), and updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (S111) (step 087FS018).

(Variation pattern setting process)
FIG. 10-17 is a flowchart showing an example of the fluctuation pattern setting process. As shown in FIG. 10-17, in the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern (step 087FS101). At this time, as described with reference to FIG. 10-9, the CPU 103 first determines the post-variation pattern and then determines the pre-variation pattern based on the presence or absence of a big hit and the hit type.

Next, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the fluctuation pattern command corresponding to the determined fluctuation pattern to the effect control CPU 120 (step 087FS102).

Next, the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the fluctuation time corresponding to the selected fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation time timer formed in the RAM 102 (step 087FS103). Then, the CPU 103 controls to transmit the symbol variation designation command to the effect control CPU 120 (step 087FS104), and updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (S112) (step 087FS105). ).

(Variable display start setting process)
Next, the processing by the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 10-18 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process.

As shown in FIG. 10-18, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the result of the variable display is determined to be out of order (087FS701). If the effect control CPU 120 is determined to be out of alignment, it confirms whether or not a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern has been received as the fluctuation pattern command (087FS703).

When the effect control CPU 120 determines that a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern has been received, it determines the display result of the loss that does not reach the reach as the final stop of the effect symbol using the data table for determining the loss symbol (087FS705). ), Proceed to 087FS706.

When it is determined in the process of 087FS703 that the pattern is not a non-reach variation pattern (when it is determined that the pattern is a reach variation pattern), the stop symbol of the effect symbol constituting the combination of the reach symbols is determined (087FS704), and the process proceeds to 087FS706.

Further, when it is not decided to make a deviation in the processing of 087FS701 (when it is decided to make a big hit), the effect control CPU 101 constitutes an effect that constitutes a combination of big hit symbols according to the type of the big hit. The stop symbol of the symbol is determined (087FS702), and the process proceeds to 087FS706.

Next, after executing the effect setting process (087FS706) for performing the process for setting various effects in the variable display (for example, the process of determining the pseudo pattern and the color of the reach line), the process proceeds to 087FS707.

In 087FS707, the effect control pattern is determined to be one of a plurality of types of effect control patterns. In 087FS707, the symbol variation control pattern table is set according to the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command and various effect control (effect operation) patterns specified by the effect control pattern of the effect determined by the processing of 087FS706. Among the plurality of types of symbol variation control patterns stored in, one of the effect control patterns corresponding to the various designated effect operation patterns is selected and determined as the pattern to be used.

In the control pattern table stored in the ROM 121, for example, the effect symbol in the display area of the image display device 5 during the period from the start of the variation of the effect symbol to the stop display of the final stop symbol. Data indicating the control contents of various production operations such as the fluctuation display operation, the effect display operation in the reach effect, the effect display operation by the pseudo-ream effect, and the effect display operation in the advance notice effect are stored as multiple types of symbol variation control patterns. Has been done.

In addition, each symbol variation control pattern can be used to display variations of the effect symbols such as the effect control process timer setting value, the effect control process timer determination value, the effect display control data, the voice control data, the lamp control data, and the end code. It includes control data for controlling various effect operations according to the situation, and the contents of various effect controls, the switching timing of the effect control, and the like are set in chronological order.

Next, the process table corresponding to the effect control pattern selected in 087FS707 is selected (087FS708). Then, the process timer (effect setting process timer) in the process data of the selected process table is started (087FS709).

After executing the processing of 087FS709, the effect device (image display device 5 as an effect component, various lamps as an effect component, and various lamps as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound number data). , The control of the speakers 8L, 8R) as production parts) is started (087FS710). For example, according to the display control execution data, the image display device 5 outputs a command to display an image (including an effect symbol) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting / extinguishing of light emitters such as various LEDs. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (phone number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command is set in the fluctuation display time timer (087FS711), and the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation processing (087FS712) and is variable. The display start setting process ends.

[Direction mode of pachinko gaming machine 1]
Next, the production mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 during the game will be described with reference to FIGS. 10-19 to 10-57.

(Direction mode of pachinko gaming machine in weak pseudo pattern)
10-19 to 10-36 are explanatory views showing an effect mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a weak pseudo pattern.

As shown in FIG. 10-19 (a1), when the variable display is started based on one hold storage, the decorative symbol is variably displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R on the screen of the image display device 5. , The fourth symbol is variably displayed in the display area 087F005D, and the small symbol is variably displayed in the small symbol area 087F005E. On the screen, a background image including an image of a character or a landscape is displayed as a background during variable display. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-19 (b), when "2" stops in the left symbol display area 5L, as shown in FIG. 10-19 (c), "2" is also displayed in the right symbol display area 5R. The decorative pattern changes as if "" stops. During the variable display, the effect sound corresponding to the variable display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-20 (b1), reach fanning is performed in the symbol display area 5R on the right to make it appear as if "2" is stopped, and whether or not the variable display mode becomes the reach mode. The player is fanned about. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-20 (b2), the decorative symbol changes as if it changes from "2" to "3" in the symbol display area 5R on the right. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-20 (b3), "3" temporarily stops in the pattern display area 5R in the right figure. In addition, during the reach fanning, the effect sound corresponding to the reach fanning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After the reach is fanned, a suggestion effect suggesting the execution of the revariable display is executed. The suggestion effect is a special symbol display part that displays a special symbol that suggests the execution of the revariable display, a character display part that displays a suggestion character that suggests the execution of the revariable display, and the number of executions of the variable display of the decorative symbol. Includes a suggested number of times display part.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-21 (c1), the special symbol display is performed in the special symbol display part. As described above, the special symbol is a symbol that suggests the execution of the revariable display. When the special symbol display is performed, "NEXT" is displayed in the symbol display area 5C between the "2" displayed in the left symbol display area 5L and the "3" displayed in the right symbol display area 5R. A special design with the characters "" appears. "NEXT" is a character suggesting a revariable display. After that, as shown in FIGS. 10-21 (c2) and (c3), the special symbol is displayed so as to be gradually enlarged in the symbol display area 5C inside. While the special symbol is being displayed, the effect sound corresponding to the special symbol display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-22 (c4), the movable body 087F010 (accessory) located at the left and right standby positions of the image display device 5 starts to move near the center of the screen so as to sandwich the special symbol. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-22 (c5), the movable body 087F010 moves to the vicinity of the center of the screen while the special symbol is enlarged and displayed near the center of the screen. While the movable body 087F010 is moving, the fourth symbol in the display area 087F005D and the small symbol in the small symbol area 087F005E are temporarily hidden by the movable body 087F010, so that they cannot be seen by the player.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-22 (c6), when the movable body 087F010 reaches the fixed position which is the maximum position of movement, the movable body 087F010 provided on the left and right completely sandwiches the special symbol. 087F010 stops. When the movable body 087F010 is stopped at a fixed position in this way, the movable body 087F010 is formed so that the fourth symbol and the small symbol are not hidden by the movable body 087F010. Therefore, when the movable body 087F010 is stopped at a fixed position, the player can confirm the fourth symbol and the small symbol. Further, on the screen, the background image composed of characters and patterns cannot be seen due to the display effect (also referred to as an effect) using images such as light and patterns in areas other than the special pattern. While the movable body 087F010 is being displayed, the operating sound of the movable body 087F010 or the effect sound corresponding to the operation of the movable body 087F010 is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-23 (c7), with the movable body 087F010 stopped at a fixed position which is the maximum position of movement, the special symbol is slightly reduced so as to be just sandwiched by the movable body 087F010, and the screen is displayed. It is displayed in the center. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-22 (c8), the movable body 087F010 moves again, and this time, it starts to return to the original fixed position (standby position) which is the minimum position of movement so as to move away from the center of the screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-23 (c9), when the movable body 087F010 returns to the fixed position (standby position) which is the minimum position of movement, the movable body 087F010 stops at that place.

In this way, the special symbol changes from the reduced state to the enlarged state and is displayed in the center of the screen, and the movable body 087F010 moves to attract the player's attention to the special symbol, and further, light, patterns, etc. A special symbol is highlighted by performing a display effect (also called an effect) using the image of. As a result, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the special symbol displayed in the center of the screen, and then suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

As described above, in the character display part, among the characters "N", "E", "X", and "T", "T" is one character, whereas the character "T" is displayed. The voice of "to" output from the speakers 8L and 8R is output 7 times, and the character "T" is displayed 14 times.

After that, the process shifts to the number display part, and the number display is performed. The number display part includes an appearance display part, a center display part, and a storage display part. As shown in FIG. 10-32 (f1), in the appearance display part, characters indicating that the Nth (N ≧ 1) revariable display will be performed are displayed. In this example, the character "x2" indicating that the second revariable display will be performed is displayed on the front side of the character image. During the number of times display, the effect sound corresponding to the number of times display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-32 (f2), the characters "x2" are gradually enlarged and displayed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-33 (f3), in the center display part, the enlarged characters “x2” are displayed at the center of the screen, which is a fixed position. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-33 (f4), in the storage display part, the character "x2" is displayed to rotate by animation. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-33 (f5), the character "x2" is displayed to rotate while being further enlarged by the animation.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-34 (f6), the animation displays the characters "x2" so as to rotate while being further enlarged. At this time, the background image including the character image displayed by the character display is gradually hidden by the characters of "x2" that rotate while being enlarged by the animation, and it becomes difficult for the player to see the background image. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-34 (f7), the animation displays the characters "x2" so as to rotate while being further enlarged. At this time, since the character "x2" is enlarged to the maximum and displayed, the background image including the character image displayed by the character display is completely hidden, and the player cannot see the background image. .. Even when the entire screen is covered with the characters "x2", the fourth symbol and the small symbol are located in the foreground, so that the player can confirm the fourth symbol and the small symbol.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-34 (f8), the animation displays the characters "x2" as if they were leaving. At this time, the background image corresponding to the second revariable display is displayed on the screen after the character "x2" has left. Further, by such an animation, the second re-variable display is started when the character "x2" is left. That is, on the front side, the character "x2" is removed by the animation, while on the back side, the second revariable display is started and the background image corresponding to the second revariable display is displayed. , As the characters "x2" go away, the background image corresponding to the second revariable display appears step by step.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-35 (f9), the animation displays the characters "x2" as if they were leaving, and accordingly, the background image corresponding to the second revariable display is further displayed. appear. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-35 (f10), the character "x2" is displayed in a reduced size by animation and moved to the leftmost corner of the screen. In the background image, the decorative pattern is displayed in motion by animation. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-35 (f11), the character "x2" is further reduced and displayed by animation and moved to the leftmost corner of the screen. In the background image, the decorative pattern is displayed in motion by animation.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-36 (f12), a logo image including the characters "NEXT" indicating the revariable display is displayed at the left edge of the screen, and the logo image is displayed with "x2" by animation. A display is made so that characters can be stored.

After that, a suggestion display is performed. As shown in FIG. 10-36 (g), in the suggestion display, a logo image including the character "NEXT" indicating the re-variable display and the character "x2" indicating the number of variable display of the decorative pattern is displayed on the screen. Appears in the corner of. During the suggestion display, the effect sound corresponding to the suggestion display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. From the state shown in FIG. 10-34 (f8) to the state shown in FIG. 10-36 (g), the decorative symbol slowly operates so as to incite the player for the second time. The revariable display is executed, and then, as shown in FIG. 10-36 (h), the rotation speed of the decorative symbol is increased, and the second revariable display is executed in earnest.

In this way, in the weak pseudo pattern, the revariable display is executed through the reach fanning, the special symbol display, the character display, the number of times display, and the suggestion display. Thereby, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

In the character display part, among the characters "NEXT" suggesting revariable display, "T" is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times. As a result, it is possible to impress the player with the character display of "NEXT" that the revariable display is performed, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed. ..

The voice corresponding to the specific message suggesting the revariable display of "Next" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the character display of "NEXT" is linked to the voice of "Next" output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Is done. Specifically, when "ne" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the character "N" is displayed, and when "ku" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the character "E" is displayed. When the "su" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the character "X" is displayed, and when the "to" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the character "T" is displayed. Further, the final voice "to" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R multiple times, and the character "T" is also displayed multiple times. Further, the number of times that the character "T" is repeatedly displayed by the character display is larger than the number of times that the voice of "to" corresponding to the character "T" is output by the speakers 8L and 8R. As a result, it is possible to impress the player with the character display of "NEXT" that the revariable display is performed, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed. ..

During the revariable display, the characters "NEXT" suggesting the revariable display and the characters "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed are displayed in the corners of the screen, so that the revariable display is displayed. It is possible to preferably suggest to the player that what is being done.

Of the letters "NEXT", the letters "N", "E", and "X" appear and are displayed only once, and the corresponding voices of "ne", "ku", and "su" are also spoken by the speaker 8L. , 8R outputs only once, while the character "T" is displayed repeatedly multiple times. In this way, each character of "NEXT" is not repeated, but the voice and character display are repeated only for "T", so the character "T" is voiced rather than "N", "E", and "X". It can be emphasized to the player by displaying characters and characters.

In the character display of "T", a plurality of characters "T" appear in stages, and the interval between appearances and display changes from a long state to a short state, and then from a shorter state to a longer state. become. That is, the speed at which the letter "T" is repeatedly displayed increases step by step. As a result, the number of overlapping characters "T" is gradually increased. As a result, a sense of speed can be given to the character display of "NEXT", and an expectation and an uplifting feeling for the revariable display can be given to the player.

In the character "NEXT", "T" is one, whereas the number of times the voice of "T" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R is seven times, and the character "T" is displayed. The total number is 14. That is, the total number of "T" characters displayed is the largest, followed by the number of times the "T" sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the "T" in the "NEXT" character. The number is the smallest. In this way, the execution of the revariable display can be emphasized by increasing the number of times the voice of "T" is output and the number of times the character of "T" is displayed rather than the number of characters of "T". ..

After the special symbol with the letters "NEXT" suggesting revariable display is displayed, the letters "N", "E]," X ", and" T "are displayed one by one by the character display. Further, the last character "T" is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times. Then, after that, a suggestion display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed is performed. Thereby, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

On the screen, a background image including an image of a character or a landscape is displayed as a background during variable display. Then, after "2" is stopped in the left symbol display area 5L, "2" is also stopped in the right symbol display area 5R, and the reach state is reached. During the reach display, the effect sound corresponding to the reach display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10-37 (j1), a reach line is executed to notify the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode. In the first reach line, the animation shows the decorative pattern of "2" in the reach mode to move, and the characters "reach" appear from the lower right of the screen and go from the lower right to the upper left of the screen. It is enlarged and displayed step by step. During the reach line, the effect sound corresponding to the reach line is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-37 (j2), the decorative symbol "2" of the decorative symbol is linked to the character "reach" moving stepwise while expanding from the upper right to the lower left of the screen. Is displayed so that the body is gradually turned from the right to the left of the screen.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-38 (j3), in the second reach line, the decorative pattern of "2" in the reach mode is displayed to move by animation, and the character "reach" is further displayed. It appears from the upper right of the screen, and is gradually enlarged and displayed from the upper right to the lower left of the screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-37 (j4), the decorative symbol "2" of the decorative symbol is linked to the movement of the character "reach" while gradually expanding from the upper right to the lower left of the screen. Is displayed so that the body is gradually turned from the upper right to the lower left of the screen.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-38 (j5), at the third reach line, the decorative pattern of "2" in the reach mode is displayed to move by animation, and the character "reach" is further displayed. It appears from the right side of the screen and is displayed in a stepwise enlargement from the right side to the left side of the screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-39 (j6), the character "reach" moves slowly while gradually expanding from the right to the left of the screen, and the decoration of the decorative pattern "2" is displayed. The design is also displayed so that the body is gradually turned from the right to the left of the screen. Even when the characters "reach" move on the screen, the fourth symbol and the small symbol are located in the foreground, so that the player can confirm the fourth symbol and the small symbol. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-39 (j7), the character "reach" moves slowly while gradually expanding from the right to the left of the screen, and the decoration of the decorative pattern "2" is displayed. The design is also displayed so that the body is gradually turned from the right to the left of the screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-39 (j8), the character "reach" moves slowly while gradually expanding from the right to the left of the screen, and the decoration of the decorative pattern "2" is displayed. The design is also displayed so that the body is gradually turned from the right to the left of the screen. The speed at which the characters "reach" move is slower in the third reach line than in the first and second reach lines. Therefore, in the third reach line, the character "reach" is displayed for a longer time than in the first and second reach lines.

In the above-mentioned reach line, the characters "reach" are displayed in three parts such as "reach", "reach", and "reach". The colors of these "reach" characters are shown in FIG. It is determined by the first color lottery of the reach line shown in -13. Specifically, the examples shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39 are examples in which the reach state is reached in the first variable display, and the next re-variable display is the second variable display. Therefore, the characters "reach", "reach", and "reach" are colored according to the colors determined by the first color lottery of the reach line shown in FIG. 10-13. For example, when the reach line pattern 6 is determined in the first reach line color lottery shown in FIG. 10-13, the characters of the first reach line "reach" shown in FIGS. 10-37 (j1) and (j2) are blue. The reach line shown in FIGS. 10-38 (j3) and (j4) The second "reach" character turns green, and the reach line shown in FIGS. 10-38 (j5) to 10-39 (j8). The word "reach" for the third time turns red. When the reach line is performed in the second variable display, the color of each "reach" character is determined by the second color lottery of the reach line shown in FIGS. 10-14, and in the third variable display. When the reach line is performed, the color of each "reach" character is determined by the third color lottery of the reach line shown in FIGS. 10-15.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-40 (k), the character display part is switched to. At this time, the animation displays the screen on which the characters "reach" and the decorative pattern "2" are displayed so as to be tilted by hand. During the switching to the character display part, the effect sound corresponding to the switching display to the character display part is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-40 (m1), the process shifts to the character display part, and the characters are displayed. In the character display, the tilted image is dimmed by the animation, and the characters "Ikkuyo!" Suggesting the revariable display are displayed. During the character display, the effect sound corresponding to the character display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-40 (m2), the characters "Ikkuyo!" Are displayed more clearly as the tilted image becomes darker by the animation.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-41 (m3), when the image displaying the characters "Ikkuyo!" Is further tilted by the animation, a background image corresponding to the character display appears a little on the back side. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-41 (m4), when the image displaying the characters "Ikkuyo!" Is removed by the animation, the background image corresponding to the character display completely appears. In the background image corresponding to the character display, the characters "Next GO !!" suggesting the execution of the revariable display are displayed together with the character image. Among the characters included in "Next GO !!", the character "Next" is displayed in a more emphasized manner than the other characters "He GO !!". Specifically, the character "next" is decorated with a color different from the other characters "he GO !!" (more effectively, a flashy color, a color that easily attracts the attention of the player). Also, the character "next" is larger than the other characters "he GO !!". The character "next" highlighted in this way is a character related to the wise saying that appears in the original, which is the concept of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The word "next" also suggests that a revariable display of "next" is performed. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-41 (m5), among the characters of "Next GO !!", only the character of the saying "next" is enlarged and displayed, and the character of "next" is further emphasized. By doing so, it is possible for the player to suggest that the revariable display is executed. Even when the characters "Next GO !!" are displayed while the characters "Next" are emphasized, the fourth symbol and the small symbol are located in the foreground, so that the player can use the fourth symbol and the fourth symbol. You can check the small symbols. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-42 (m6), the enlarged and displayed "next" character is reduced again, and "next GO !!" is displayed at a fixed position.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-42 (n1), the process shifts to the special display part, and the special display is performed. In the special display, a plurality of images (also referred to as special images) including the characters "Next GO !!" including the characters related to the saying "next" and the character image are displayed. Specifically, as the special image moves in the depth direction, the same special image is displayed above and below the special image, and an image of a flame due to an effect is displayed around the special image. During the special display, the effect sound corresponding to the special display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-42 (n2), the special image in the center of the screen moves further in the depth direction, and the number of special images displayed above and below the special image increases. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-43 (n3), the special image in the center of the screen moves further in the depth direction, and the number of special images displayed above and below the special image further increases.

After that, as in the example of the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-32, the process shifts to the number display part, and the number display is performed. The number display part includes an appearance display part, a center display part, and a storage display part. As shown in FIG. 10-43 (o1), in the appearance display part, characters indicating that the Nth (N ≧ 1) revariable display will be performed are displayed. In this example, the animation causes the character image of "x2", which indicates that the second revariable display will be performed, to rotate and display from the special image in the center of the screen toward the front side. It is said. During the number of times display, the effect sound corresponding to the number of times display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-43 (o2), the character image of "x2" is further enlarged toward the front side and gradually enlarged and displayed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-44 (o3), in the center display part, the enlarged character image of "x2" is displayed at the center of the screen which is a fixed position. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-44 (c4), in the storage display part, the character image of "x2" is displayed to be rotated by animation. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-44 (o5), an animation is performed in which the character image of "x2" is rotated while being further enlarged.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-45 (o6), the animation displays the characters "x2" so as to rotate while being further enlarged. At this time, the background image including a plurality of special images displayed by the character display is gradually hidden by the characters of "x2" that rotate while being enlarged by the animation, and it is difficult for the player to see the background image. Become. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-45 (o7), the animation displays the characters "x2" so as to rotate while being further enlarged. At this time, since the character "x2" is enlarged to the maximum and displayed, the background image including the special image is completely hidden, and the player cannot see the background image. Even when the entire screen is covered with the characters "x2", the fourth symbol and the small symbol are located in the foreground, so that the player can confirm the fourth symbol and the small symbol.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-45 (o8), the animation is displayed so that the characters "x2" are leaving. At this time, the background image including the plurality of special images is displayed unchanged on the screen after the characters "x2" are left.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-46 (o9), the animation displays the characters "x2" as if they were leaving, and accordingly, a background image including a plurality of special images appears again. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-46 (o10), the character "x2" is displayed in a reduced size by animation and moved to the leftmost corner of the screen. In the background image, a plurality of special images are displayed unchanged. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-46 (o11), the character "x2" is further reduced and displayed by animation and moved to the leftmost corner of the screen. In the background image, a plurality of special images are displayed unchanged.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-47 (o12), a logo image including the characters "Next GO !!" indicating the revariable display is displayed at the left edge of the screen, and the logo image is displayed with "Next GO !!" by animation. A display is made so that the characters "x2" are stored. In the strong pseudo pattern A, which is more advantageous for the player than the weak pseudo pattern, a decorative image is applied to the logo image by the effect. In the present embodiment, the logo image is shaped like the sun as a whole by decorating the oval logo image including the characters "Next GO !!".

After that, a suggestion display is performed. As shown in FIG. 10-47 (p1), the suggestion display includes the characters "Next GO !!" indicating the revariable display and the character "x2" indicating the number of variable displays of the decorative symbol. The logo image is displayed in the corner of the screen. During the suggestion display, the effect sound corresponding to the suggestion display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-47 (p2), the special image in the center, which has been reduced and displayed in the depth direction, is enlarged and displayed toward the front side by animation.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-48 (p3), the special image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed by the animation. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-48 (p4), the special image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed by the animation, so that the special image is displayed on the entire screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-48 (p5), the special image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed to a size that does not fit on the screen. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-49 (p6), the special image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-49 (q), the rotation speed of the decorative symbol is increased, and the second revariable display is executed in earnest.

As described above, in the strong pseudo pattern, the revariable display is executed through the reach line, the character display, the special display, the number of times display, and the suggestion display. Thereby, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

In the character display part, among the characters suggesting revariable display of "Next GO !!", the "Next" character is displayed in a more emphasized manner than the other "He GO !!" characters. .. As a result, it is possible to impress the player with the character display of "Next GO !!" that the revariable display is performed, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

After the variable display mode becomes the reach mode and the reach is notified by the reach line, the character display part is produced. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the effect after the reach is notified by the reach line.

After the character display part is produced, a special display is performed in which a plurality of special images including the characters "Next GO !!" are displayed together with the character image, and then the number display part is produced. As a result, it is possible to suggest to the player that the revariable display is executed by performing the special display, and further, the number of times of the variable display of the decorative symbol is easily understood by the player by performing the number of times display. I can tell.

During the revariable display, the characters "Next GO !!" suggesting the revariable display and the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed are displayed in the corners of the screen. It is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

Of the characters "Next GO !!" displayed in the corner of the screen by the suggestion display, the color of the character "Next" is different from the color of the other characters "He GO !!" The characters are displayed larger than the characters "He GO !!". This makes it possible to make the "next" character, which suggests the execution of the revariable display, more prominent.

The character "next" that suggests the execution of the revariable display is a character related to the quote that appears in the original concept of the pachinko game machine 1, so "Next GO !!" that suggests the execution of the revariable display. Is displayed, and the character "next" is highlighted, so that the player can be immersed in the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

In the special display, since a plurality of special images including the characters "Next GO !!" in the character display are displayed, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

In the special display, a special image including the characters "Next GO !!" in the character display is reduced and displayed, and a plurality of the reduced special images are displayed. As a result, in the special display, since the special image itself suggesting the revariable display is used, it is possible to execute an effect that is easy for the player to understand.

In the special display, the special image including the characters "Next GO !!" in the character display is reduced and displayed, a plurality of the reduced and displayed special images are displayed, and then the reduced display is enlarged and displayed. The screen of the image display device 5 is switched to the revariable display screen. As a result, the special image can be emphasized by enlarging the reduced display of the special image again, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

While the special display is being executed, the character "x2" that indicates the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed starts to be displayed, and the character "x2" is further moved to the corner of the screen and displayed. The special display continues until. As a result, the characters "x2" suggest the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed, and even after suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed, the special image can be shown again to re-variable the display. It can be suggested to the player by emphasizing what will be done.

Further, in the weak pseudo pattern, in the effect mode shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-36, after the characters "NEXT" suggesting the execution of the revariable display are displayed, the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed. The character "x2" indicating that the number of times is the second time is displayed. On the other hand, in the strong pseudo pattern, as shown in FIGS. 10-40 to 10-47, the characters "Next GO !!" suggesting the execution of the revariable display in an effect mode different from the weak pseudo pattern. After being displayed, the character "x2" suggesting that the variable display of the decorative pattern has been executed for the second time is displayed. In this way, the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern differ in the effect mode of the character display suggesting the execution of the revariable display and the number display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed. It is possible to make the player recognize which of the strong pseudo-systems the effect suggests the revariable display depending on the difference in the effect mode, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed. ..

The effect mode of the number display in the weak pseudo pattern and the effect mode of the number display in the strong pseudo pattern are both display modes by animation. Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-32 to 10-36, in the weak pseudo pattern, the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed appears from the center of the screen in the appearance display part. After that, it shifts to the central display part and the storage display part. On the other hand, in the strong pseudo pattern, as shown in FIGS. 10-43 to 10-47, in the strong pseudo pattern, the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed in the appearance display part. Appears by moving from the reduced display special image toward the front side, and then shifts to the center display part and the storage display part. Comparing the appearance display parts of both, the strong pseudo pattern has a longer distance for the character "x2" to move than the weak pseudo pattern, and the appearance display is performed for a longer time. In this way, in the appearance display part when the number of times is displayed, the strong pseudo pattern has characters that suggest the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed in a manner emphasized more than the weak pseudo pattern. It is possible to emphasize the production of the above, and it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the production of the strong pseudo pattern has been executed.

The central display part and the storage display part in the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-33 to 10-36 and the center display part and the storage display part in the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-44 to 10-47 are decorative. The mode of display by animation of the character "x2", which suggests the number of times the variable display of the symbol is executed, is common. As a result, the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern differ only in the appearance display part for the effect of the character suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed, so that the character suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed appears. It is possible to draw more attention to the production of the appearance display part to be performed.

In the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-34 and 10-35, the character "x2", which indicates the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed, is enlarged to the maximum and covers the entire screen, and then thereafter. When the character "x2" leaves, a background image corresponding to the revariable display appears from the back side. On the other hand, in the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-45 and 10-46, after the character "x2" indicating the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed is enlarged to the maximum and covers the entire screen. After that, even if the character "x2" disappears, a special image including the character "Next GO !!", which suggests revariable display, remains and is displayed. As a result, the strong pseudo pattern can still show the special image to the player even after the storage display is performed, so that the strong pseudo pattern is revariablely displayed as compared with the weak pseudo pattern. Can be emphasized and suggested to the player.

As shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39, when the reach state is reached, a reach line that displays "reach" as a specific message related to the reach state is executed. In the reach line, the character "reach" is displayed multiple times (three times in this example), and the character "reach" is determined by the reach line color lottery shown in FIGS. 10-12 to 10-13. It is displayed in the color shown. Further, in conjunction with the appearance and movement of the character "reach" on the reach line, the decorative symbol of "2" in the reach mode is displayed so as to move. As a result, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the player is in the reach state by displaying the "reach" message.

In the reach line, the direction in which the character "reach" moves and the direction in which the decorative pattern of "2", which is the reach mode, faces are the same. It can be suggested that there is.

In the reach line, among the characters of "reach" displayed multiple times, the display time of the character of "reach" that appears last is the longest. In addition, since the color of the "reach" that appears last is determined according to the fluctuation pattern in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12, a big hit is made according to the color of the "reach" that appears last. Expectations are different. In this way, of the three "reach" characters that appear on the reach line, the last "reach" that suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit is from the other "reach" characters that appear in the first and second times. However, since the display time is long, it is possible to draw attention to the color of the final "reach" that suggests the expectation of a big hit to the player.

In the reach line, among the characters of "reach" displayed multiple times, the character of "reach" that appears the first time and the character of "reach" that appears the second time have the same display time. Is. In this way, by setting the display time of the characters "reach" appearing in the first and second times to the same length, it is possible to suggest that the player is in the reach state while making the player feel a little creepy. ..

Among the characters of "reach" displayed a plurality of times on the reach line, the color of the character of "reach" that appears last is determined according to the variation pattern in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIGS. 10-12. Further, in the reach line final color lottery, when the pseudo-ream is not performed, only the color of the last "reach" character in the reach line when the reach mode is set in one variable display is determined. When the variable display is performed twice by the pseudo-ream, the color of the last "reach" character in the reach line when the reach mode is reached in each of the two variable displays is determined, and further, the color of the last "reach" character is determined. When the variable display is performed three times by the pseudo-ream, the color of the last "reach" character in the reach line when the reach mode is reached in each of the three variable displays is determined. In this way, the degree of expectation of a big hit differs depending on the color of the character of "reach" that appears last in the reach line, and further, the "reach" that appears last in each reach line that is performed multiple times. Expectations for big hits differ depending on the combination of character colors. As a result, the player's color combination of the "reach" character that appears last in the reach line and the color of the "reach" character that appears last in each reach line that is performed multiple times It can attract attention and improve the interest of the game.

(Direction mode of pachinko gaming machine in strong pseudo pattern C)
FIG. 10-50 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the strong pseudo pattern C. As described above, the strong pseudo pattern C is a pattern that switches to the production of the strong pseudo system by pretending to be the weak pseudo pattern of the weak pseudo system.

In the strong pseudo pattern C, similarly to the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-19 to 10-21, after the reach is fanned, a special pattern appears and is temporarily displayed in the center of the screen. The example shown in FIG. 10-50 (r) has the same effect mode as the example shown in FIG. 10-21 (c3). As a result, the player recognizes that the revariable display is suggested by the weak pseudo pattern.

After that, in the strong pseudo pattern C, the effect is switched to the strong pseudo pattern as shown in FIG. 10-50 (s) without shifting to the effect shown in FIG. 10-22 (c4). Specifically, similarly to the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIG. 10-40 (k), the screen on which the characters "NEXT" and the decorative pattern are displayed is displayed so as to be tilted by hand.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-50 (t), as in FIG. 10-40 (m1), the tilted image is dim by the animation, and the characters "Ikkuyo!" Suggesting a revariable display are displayed. Is displayed. After that, as shown in FIGS. 10-40 (m2) to 10-49, the effect according to the strong pseudo pattern is performed.

In this way, the patterns in which the revariable display is executed include a weak pseudo pattern in which the revariable display is performed after the special symbol is emphasized and displayed as shown in FIG. 10-23 (c9), and a special symbol is emphasized. Includes a strong pseudo pattern in which revariable display is performed without being displayed. Further, the strong pseudo pattern is switched to the strong pseudo pattern A in which the variable display mode is re-variable after the reach state is reached, and the strong pseudo pattern after the special symbol is temporarily displayed to appear as a weak pseudo pattern. Includes a strong pseudo pattern C in which revariable display is performed. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by providing a point for the player to pay attention to whether the suggestion of the revariable display is the weak pseudo pattern or the strong pseudo pattern.

(Direction mode of pachinko gaming machine in strong pseudo pattern B)
10-51 to 10-53 are explanatory views showing an effect mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the strong pseudo pattern B. As described above, the strong pseudo pattern B is a pattern in which the revariable display is performed after the special reach notification, the character display of the quote, the special display, the number of times display, and the suggestion display are executed.

As shown in FIG. 10-51 (u), when the variable display is started based on one hold storage, the decorative symbol is variably displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R on the screen of the image display device 5. , The fourth symbol is variably displayed in the display area 087F005D, and the small symbol is variably displayed in the small symbol area 087F005E. On the screen, a background image including an image of a character or a landscape is displayed as a background during variable display. Then, after "2" is stopped in the left symbol display area 5L, "2" is also stopped in the right symbol display area 5R, and the reach state is reached. During the reach display, the effect sound corresponding to the reach display is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-51 (v1), a special reach notification is executed to notify the player that the variable display mode has become the reach mode. In the first special reach notification, a character image is displayed in the center of the screen, and the character "ri" appears from the right side of the screen by animation, and is displayed by gradually moving from the right side to the left side of the screen. It will disappear soon. During the special reach notification, the effect sound corresponding to the special reach notification is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the sound of "ri" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-51 (v2), in the second special reach notification, the character image in the center of the screen is enlarged and displayed, and a new character "ri" appears from the right side of the screen by animation. , It is displayed by moving step by step from the right to the left of the screen, and then disappears. At this time, the sound of "ri" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-52 (v3), in the third special reach notification, the character image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed, and a new character "ri" appears from the right side of the screen by animation. Then, it gradually moves from the right to the left of the screen and is displayed, and then disappears. At this time, the sound of "ri" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-52 (v4), in the fourth special reach notification, the character image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed, and a new character "ri" appears from the right side of the screen by animation. Then, it gradually moves from the right to the left of the screen and is displayed, and then disappears. At this time, the sound of "ri" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-52 (v5), in the fifth special reach notification, the character image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed, and a new character "ri" appears from the right side of the screen by animation. Then, it gradually moves from the right to the left of the screen and is displayed, and then disappears. At this time, the sound of "ri" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-53 (v6), the character image in the center of the screen is further enlarged and displayed, and the characters "reach" appear from the right side of the screen by animation, and the steps are performed from the right side to the left side of the screen. It moves and is displayed, and then disappears. At this time, the “reach” voice is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. That is, in the special reach notification, characters appear and disappear in the order of "ri", "ri", "ri", "ri", "ri", and "reach", and the voice corresponding to the character appears on the speaker 8L. , 8R is output.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-53 (w), the part is switched to the character display part. At this time, the animation displays the screen on which the characters of "reach" and the character image are displayed so as to be tilted by the hand. During the switching to the character display part, the effect sound corresponding to the switching display to the character display part is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-53 (x), the process shifts to the character display part, and the characters are displayed. In the character display, the tilted image is dimmed by the animation, and the characters "Ikkuyo!" Suggesting the revariable display are displayed. After that, as shown in FIGS. 10-40 (m2) to 10-49, the effect according to the strong pseudo pattern is performed.

(A mode of production of a pachinko gaming machine when a specific reach is fanned in the strong pseudo pattern A)
10-54 to 10-57 are explanatory views showing an effect mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the specific reach fanning is performed in the strong pseudo pattern A. The effect shown in FIGS. 10-54 to 10-57 is determined to be a strong pseudo pattern A by a lottery based on the pseudo pattern determination table shown in FIG. 10-10 (c), and is determined in FIG. 10-10 (c). It is executed when it is decided to execute the specific reach fan by the lottery based on the specific reach fan effect execution table shown in. Further, as described above, the specific reach fanning effect is an effect that encourages the player whether or not the variable display mode is the reach mode.

As shown in FIG. 10-54 (y), when the variable display is started based on one hold storage, the decorative symbol is variably displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R on the screen of the image display device 5. , The fourth symbol is variably displayed in the display area 087F005D, and the small symbol is variably displayed in the small symbol area 087F005E. On the screen, a background image including an image of a character or a landscape is displayed as a background during variable display. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-54 (z1), when the specific reach fanning is executed, "2" is stopped in the left symbol display area 5L, and "1" is provisionally in the right symbol display area 5R. Display and the character appears. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-54 (z1), the animation is displayed so that the character acts on "1" in the symbol display area 5R on the right. In addition, during the specific reach fanning, the effect sound corresponding to the specific reach fanning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-55 (z3), the decorative symbol of "1" is changed to "2" by the character acting on "1" of the symbol display area 5R on the right by animation. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-55 (z4), the decorative symbol in the symbol display area 5R on the right fluctuates. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-55 (z5), "1" is temporarily displayed in the symbol display area 5R on the right, and the character appears again.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-56 (z6), the decorative symbol of "1" is changed to "2" by the character working again on "1" of the symbol display area 5R on the right by animation. .. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-56 (z7), the reach state was reached by the decorative symbol of "2", and it is suggested that the reach state was reached by the character image. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-56 (A1), the color of the character image and the image including the decorative pattern of "2" in the reach state is gradually whitened by an effect called whiteout. As a result, the character image and the image including the decorative pattern of "2" in the reach state become difficult to see step by step. During the whiteout, the effect sound corresponding to the whiteout is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10-57 (A2), when the character image and the image including the decorative symbol of "2" in the reach state are completely whitened by the whiteout, the character image and the reach state are reached. The image including the decorative pattern of "2" is completely invisible. Here, on the back side of the screen on which the specific reach fanning is performed, a reach line as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39 is performed. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-57 (A3), when the transparency of the entire screen on the front side, which has become white due to whiteout, is gradually increased, the effect image of the reach line performed on the back side is displayed. You will be able to see it. After that, as shown in FIG. 10-57 (B), when the transparency of the entire screen on the front side, which is whitened by whiteout, is set to 100%, the effect image of the reach line performed on the back side can be completely seen. Will be. The reach line shown in FIG. 10-57 (B) is the same effect image as the third reach line shown in FIG. 10-39 (j8). After that, the effect according to the strong pseudo pattern B as shown in FIGS. 10-40 and later is executed.

In this way, when the effect according to the strong pseudo pattern A in which the reach line is performed is executed, if the specific reach fanning is performed in the pre-variation, the effect image of the specific reach fanning is displayed on the front side of the effect image of the reach line. Is displayed. Then, when the effect of the specific reach fan is completed and the transparency of the effect image of the specific reach fan becomes 100% and disappears, the effect image of the reach line located on the back side thereof appears. Further, in this case, the player cannot see the halfway of the reach line due to the effect of the specific reach fan, and can see the effect of the reach line from the middle after the effect of the specific reach fan is completed. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 10-57, among the reach lines in which the characters "reach" appear in three times such as "reach", "reach", and "reach", the "reach" corresponding to the last inning. Only the characters "" can be seen by the player. As a result, it is possible to emphasize to the player that the player has reached the reach state due to the specific reach, and to clearly show the player the "reach" corresponding to the final round. Furthermore, since the character of "reach" corresponding to the final round suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit by its color, the player can see whether or not the character of "reach" at the end will be a big hit. Can be expected.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-40, when the specific reach fanning is not executed, the reach line is produced for the characters of "reach" for three times such as "reach", "reach", and "reach". On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10-54 to 10-57, when a specific reach fan is executed, three "reach" such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" are performed. Of these, the first and second "reach" are repeatedly performed with specific reach, and the final "reach" is shown to the player. In this way, the interest of the game can be improved by dividing the number of characters of "reach" to be shown to the player by the reach line according to whether or not the specific reach fanning is executed.

[Main effects obtained by feature part 087F]
The technical effects obtained by the various configurations of the feature unit 075F described above are individually listed below.

(1-1) A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko game) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display of the special identification information becoming the specific display result. Machine 1)
From the start of the variable display of the special identification information until the display result of the variable display of the special identification information is derived and displayed, the variable display of the effect identification information is temporarily stopped and then the variable display of the effect identification information is restarted. Re-variable display means for executing re-variable display (for example, processing for executing pseudo-ream by the effect control CPU 120),
A suggestion effect means for executing a suggestion effect suggesting execution of the revariable display (for example, a process of executing a weak pseudo system effect or a strong pseudo system effect related to a pseudo-ream by the effect control CPU 120) is provided.
In the suggestion effect, a character display part (for example, FIG. 10-25 to 5) displays a suggestion character (for example, the character of "NEXT") suggesting execution of the revariable display on a display means (for example, an image display device 5). The character display part shown in FIG. 10-32) is included.
In the character display part, a specific character (for example, the character "T") included in the suggestion character is repeatedly displayed on the display means a plurality of times (for example, FIGS. 10-28 to 10-).
As shown in 32, the part where the character "T" is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-23 to 10-32, in the character display part in the weak pseudo pattern, "T" is repeated a plurality of times among the characters suggesting revariable display of "NEXT". Is displayed. As a result, it is possible to impress the player with the character display of "NEXT" that the revariable display is performed, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed. ..

Regarding the "suggestion effect suggesting the execution of the revariable display", in the present embodiment, the suggestion effect is an effect before the revariable display is executed, as shown in FIGS. 10-19 to 10-36. Yes, it is internally determined that the revariable display will be executed, and it is an effect indicating or notifying that the revariable display will be executed from now on. Specifically, in the character display part of the suggestion effect, the player recognizes that the revariable display is subsequently executed by displaying the "T" in the "NEXT" a plurality of times in succession. It was something that came to be done. As a modification, the "suggestion effect suggesting the execution of the revariable display" may be an effect of inciting whether or not the revariable display is executed. For example, in the character display part of the suggestion effect according to the modified example, after the "T" in "NEXT" is displayed a plurality of times in succession, the state of FIG. 10-32 (e22) is finally changed to the number of times display. When the display is switched, it is confirmed that the revariable display is executed thereafter, but when the state shown in FIG. 10-32 (e22) is not finally switched to the number display, the revariable display is executed. It may be confirmed that it will not be performed.

(1-2) It is a gaming machine

Is 14 pieces. That is, the total number of times the character "to" is displayed is larger than the number of times the voice of "to" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. As a result, it is possible to impress the player with the character display and the voice output that the revariable display is performed, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

(1-3) After the special identification information with the suggestion character is displayed on the display means, the character display part is produced (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-21 to 10-24). , The part that shifts from the special symbol display part to the character display part),
In the character display part, after the suggestion character is displayed one by one, the specific character, which is the last character, is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times (for example, in the character display part shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-32). Direction),
After that, a display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the effect identification information is executed is displayed on the display means (for example, the effect in the number display part shown in FIGS. 10-32 to 10-36).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-21 to 10-36, after the special symbol with the character "NEXT" suggesting revariable display is displayed, "N" and "N" are displayed by the character display. The characters E], "X", and "T" are displayed one by one, and the last character "T" is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times. Then, after that, a suggestion display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed is performed. Thereby, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

(1-4) During the revariable display, a display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the suggestion character and the effect identification information is executed is displayed in the corner of the display area in the display means (for example, FIG. 10-36). As shown in the above, during the revariable display, the character "NEXT" suggesting the revariable display and the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the revariable display is executed are displayed in the corners of the screen).

(1-5) Some characters included in the suggestion characters (for example, each character of "N", "E", and "X") are not repeatedly displayed on the display means.
The specific character (for example, the character "T"), which is the last character included in the suggestion character, is repeatedly displayed on the display means a plurality of times (for example, the character shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-32). Production in the display part).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-32, in the character display part, among the characters of "NEXT", the characters "N", "E", and "X" are once. Only appears and is displayed, and the corresponding "ne", "ku", and "su" sounds are also output from the speakers 8L and 8R only once, while the letter "T" is displayed repeatedly multiple times. Will be done. In this way, each character of "NEXT" is not repeated, but the voice and character display are repeated only for "T", so the character "T" is voiced rather than "N", "E", and "X". It can be emphasized to the player by displaying characters and characters.

(1-6) The specific character is displayed on the display means repeatedly a plurality of times so that the plurality of specific characters are displayed in an overlapping manner.
In the character display part, the speed at which the specific characters are repeatedly displayed on the display means gradually increases, so that the number of the specific characters displayed in an overlapping manner increases step by step (for example, FIG. 10-). Production in the character display part shown in 28 to 10-32).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-28 to 10-32, in the character display of "T", a plurality of characters "T" appear in stages and are displayed. The interval goes from long to short and then from shorter to longer. That is, the speed at which the letter "T" is repeatedly displayed increases step by step. As a result, the number of overlapping characters "T" is gradually increased. As a result, a sense of speed can be given to the character display of "NEXT", and an expectation and an uplifting feeling for the revariable display can be given to the player.

(1-7) The number of sounds corresponding to the specific character output by the sound output means in conjunction with the suggestion character is larger than the number of the specific characters included in the suggestion character (for example, "NEXT"). In the character "T", there is one "T", whereas the number of times the sound of "T" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R is 7 times),
The number of the specific characters displayed on the display means is the number of sounds corresponding to the specific characters output by the sound output means in conjunction with the suggestion characters, and the number of the specific characters included in the suggestion characters. It is larger than any of the numbers (for example, in the character "NEXT", "T" is one, whereas the number of times the sound of "to" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R is seven, and further. , The total number of characters "to" displayed is 14.).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10-32, the number of times the voice of "T" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R is 7 while the character "NEXT" has one "T". In addition, the total number of times the character "to" is displayed is 14. That is, the total number of "T" characters displayed is the largest, followed by the number of times the "T" sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the "T" in the "NEXT" character. The number is the smallest. In this way, the execution of the revariable display can be emphasized by increasing the number of times the voice of "T" is output and the number of times the character of "T" is displayed rather than the number of characters of "T". ..

(1-8) Among the suggestion characters, the characters different from the specific characters are the same number of times as the number of sounds corresponding to the characters different from the specific characters output by the sound output means in conjunction with the suggestion characters. Displayed on the display means (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-27, among the characters of "NEXT", the characters "N", "E", and "X" are displayed only once. The part that appears and is displayed, and the corresponding "ne", "ku", and "su" sounds are also output only once from the speakers 8L and 8R).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-32, among the characters of "NEXT", the characters "N", "E", and "X" appear and are displayed only once. , The corresponding voices of "ne", "ku", and "su" are also output from the speakers 8L and 8R only once, whereas the character "T" is displayed repeatedly a plurality of times. In this way, each character of "NEXT" is not repeated, but the voice and character display are repeated only for "T", so the character "T" is voiced rather than "N", "E", and "X". It can be emphasized to the player by displaying characters and characters.

(2-1) A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko game) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display of the special identification information becoming the specific display result. Machine 1)
From the start of the variable display of the special identification information until the display result of the variable display of the special identification information is derived and displayed, the variable display of the effect identification information is temporarily stopped and then the variable display of the effect identification information is restarted. Re-variable display means for executing re-variable display (for example, processing for executing pseudo-ream by the effect control CPU 120),
A suggestion effect means for executing a suggestion effect suggesting execution of the revariable display (for example, a process of executing a weak pseudo system effect or a strong pseudo system effect related to a pseudo-ream by the effect control CPU 120) is provided.
In the suggestion effect, a character display part (for example, a figure) for displaying a suggestion character (for example, a character of “Next GO !!”) suggesting execution of the revariable display on a display means (for example, an image display device 5) is displayed. 10-41, the character display part shown in FIG. 10-42, and the number display part (for example, FIGS. 10-44 to 10-) for displaying a display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the effect identification information is executed on the display means. Including the number display part shown in 47)
In the character display part, among the characters included in the suggestion character, a specific character (for example, the character "next") is emphasized more than other characters (for example, the character "he GO !!"). It is displayed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-41 and 10-42, the part where the character "next" is displayed more emphasized than the character "he GO !!").

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-41 and 10-42, in the strong pseudo pattern, the revariable display is executed through the reach line, the character display, the special display, the number of times display, and the suggestion display. In the character display part, among the characters suggesting revariable display of "Next GO !!", the "Next" character is displayed in a more emphasized manner than the other "He GO !!" characters. .. As a result, it is possible to impress the player with the character display of "Next GO !!" that the revariable display is performed, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

Regarding the "display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the effect identification information is executed", the revariable display has not yet been executed, and the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed when the revariable display is executed from now on. Is a display indicating or notifying. Further, regarding the "display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the effect identification information is executed", the display indicates or notifies the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is being executed for which the revariable display has already been executed. It is also a display. For example, during the period in which the number of times is displayed, the character display of "x2" in FIGS. 10-32 (f1) to 10-34 (f7) has not yet been re-variable, and will be re-variable. Is a display indicating or notifying the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed when is executed, and the character display of "x2" in FIGS. 10-34 (f8) to 10-36 (f12) has already been performed. This is a display indicating or notifying the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol being executed is executed when the revariable display is executed. Further, in the character display of "x2" in FIGS. 10-43 (o1) to 10-45 (o7), the revariable display has not yet been executed, and the decorative symbol when the revariable display is executed from now on. It is a display indicating or notifying the number of executions of the variable display of, and the character display of "x2" in FIGS. 10-45 (o8) to 10-47 (o12) has already been revariablely displayed. , Is a display indicating or notifying the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol being executed is executed.

(2-2) After the variable display mode of the effect identification information is in the reach state, the effect of the character display part is performed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39, the effect is reached. After that, as shown in FIGS. 10-40 to 10-42, the character display part is produced).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-42, the character display part is produced after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode and the reach is notified by the reach line. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect after the reach is notified by the reach line.

(2-3) In the pattern in which the revariable display is executed, the effect identification information is variably displayed after the special identification information (for example, a special symbol) to which the suggestion character is attached is displayed on the display means. The first re-variable display pattern (for example, the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-19 to 10-36) and the second variable display of the effect identification information are performed without displaying the special identification information on the display means. The revariable display pattern (for example, the strong pseudo pattern A shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-49 and the strong pseudo pattern C shown in FIG. 10-50) is included.
The second re-variable display pattern is shown in the first pattern (for example, FIGS. 10-37 to 10-49) in which the variable display of the effect identification information is performed after the variable display mode of the effect identification information is in the reach state. A strong pseudo pattern A) and a second pattern in which the effect identification information is variably displayed after the special identification information is temporarily displayed on the display means (for example, the strong pseudo pattern C shown in FIGS. 10-50) are included. ..

Specifically, the patterns in which the revariable display is executed include a weak pseudo pattern in which the revariable display is performed after the special symbol is emphasized and displayed as shown in FIG. 10-23 (c9), and a special symbol. The strong pseudo pattern includes a strong pseudo pattern in which the revariable display is performed without being highlighted, and the strong pseudo pattern includes a strong pseudo pattern A in which the revariable display is performed after the variable display mode is in the reach state. Includes a strong pseudo pattern C in which a special symbol is temporarily displayed to make it appear as a weak pseudo pattern, and then the pattern is switched to a strong pseudo pattern and revariable display is performed. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by providing a point for the player to pay attention to whether the suggestion of the revariable display is the weak pseudo pattern or the strong pseudo pattern.

(2-4) After the effect of the character display part is performed, a special display for displaying a plurality of the suggested characters on the display means is performed, and then the effect of the number of times display part is performed (for example, FIG. 10). -42-As shown in FIG. 10-47, the part where the number of times is displayed after the special display is performed).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-42 to 10-47, the number of times is displayed after the special display is performed in which a plurality of special images including the characters "Next GO !!" are displayed together with the character image. The production of the part is performed. As a result, it is possible to suggest to the player that the revariable display is executed by performing the special display, and further, the number of times of the variable display of the decorative symbol is easily understood by the player by performing the number of times display. I can tell.

(2-5) During the revariable display, a display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the suggestion character and the effect identification information is executed is displayed in the corner of the display area in the display means (for example, FIG. 10-48). As shown in, during the revariable display, the characters "Next GO !!" suggesting the revariable display and the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the revariable display is executed are displayed in the corners of the screen. Part).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-48, during the revariable display, the characters “Next GO !!” suggesting the revariable display and the “×” suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed. Since the character "2" is displayed in the corner of the screen, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is being performed.

(2-6) Among the characters included in the suggestion characters displayed in the corners of the display area in the display means, the specific character is displayed in a more emphasized manner than the other characters (for example, FIG. 10-). As shown in 48, among the characters "Next GO !!" displayed in the corner of the screen by the suggestion display, the character "Next" is emphasized more than the other characters "He GO !!" The part displayed by).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10-48, among the characters of "Next GO !!" displayed in the corner of the screen by the suggestion display, the color of the other "Next" character is "He GO! It is displayed in a more emphasized manner than the characters "!". This makes it possible to make the "next" character, which suggests the execution of the revariable display, more prominent.

(2-7) Among the characters included in the suggestion character, the color of the specific character is different from the color of the other character, and the specific character is larger than the other character (for example, FIGS. 10-41 to 10-41). As shown in 10-49, among the characters of "Next GO !!" displayed on the screen, the color of the "Next" character and the other "He GO !!" characters are different, and the color is "Next". The part where the character "" is larger than the other characters "he GO !!").

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-41 to 10-49, among the characters of "Next GO !!" displayed on the screen, the color of the other "Next" character is "He GO! The color of the character "!" Is different, and the character "next" is displayed larger than the character "he GO !!". This makes it possible to make the "next" character, which suggests the execution of the revariable display, more prominent.

(2-8) The specific character is a character (for example, the character of "next") related to a saying appearing in the original concept of the gaming machine.

Specifically, the character "next" that suggests the execution of the revariable display is a character related to the quote that appears in the original concept of the pachinko gaming machine 1, so the character "next" that suggests the execution of the revariable display By displaying the characters "Go !!" and further highlighting the characters "Next", the player can be immersed in the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(2-9) A special display is performed in which a plurality of the suggestion characters are displayed on the display means.
In the special display, a plurality of displays including the suggestion characters displayed in the character display part are displayed (for example, the special display portion shown in FIGS. 10-42 and 10-43).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-42 and 10-43, in the special display, a plurality of special images including the characters "Next GO !!" in the character display are displayed, so that the display is revariable. Can preferably be suggested to the player that

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-42 and 10-43, in the special display, the special image including the characters "Next GO !!" in the character display is reduced and displayed. Multiple special images are displayed. As a result, in the special display, since the special image itself suggesting the revariable display is used, it is possible to execute an effect that is easy for the player to understand.

(2-11) A special display is performed in which a plurality of the suggestion characters are displayed on the display means.
In the special display, the display including the suggestion character displayed in the character display part is reduced and displayed, and a plurality of reduced displays are displayed (for example, the special display shown in FIGS. 10-42 and 10-43). Display part),
After that, the reduced display is enlarged and the screen in the display means is switched to the variable display screen (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10-47 to 10-49, the special image is re-variable while being enlarged. The part that switches to the screen corresponding to the display).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-42 and 10-43, in the special display, the special image including the characters "Next GO !!" in the character display is reduced and displayed. A plurality of special images are displayed, and then, as shown in FIGS. 10-47 to 10-49, the reduced display is enlarged and the screen in the image display device 5 is switched to the revariable display screen. As a result, the special image can be emphasized by enlarging the reduced display of the special image again, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

(2-12) A special display is performed in which a plurality of the suggestion characters are displayed on the display means (for example, the special display portion shown in FIGS. 10-42 and 10-43).
During the execution of the special display, a display suggesting the number of times the variable display of the effect identification information is executed starts to be displayed on the display means, and until the display is moved to a corner of the display area on the display means and displayed. The special display continues (for example, the part of the number display and the suggestion display shown in FIGS. 10-43 to 10-48).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-43 to 10-48, during the execution of the special display, the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed begins to be displayed, and further. , The special display continues until the character "x2" is moved to the corner of the screen and displayed. As a result, the characters "x2" suggest the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed, and even after suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed, the special image can be shown again to re-variable the display. It can be suggested to the player by emphasizing what will be done.

(3-1) A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko game) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to the player based on the display result of the variable display of the special identification information becoming the specific display result. Machine 1)
From the start of the variable display of the special identification information to the derivation display result of the variable display of the special identification information, the N + 1th effect identification is temporarily stopped after the variable display of the Nth effect identification information is temporarily stopped. A revariable display means (for example, a process of executing a pseudo-ream by the effect control CPU 120) for executing a revariable display for variable display of information is provided.
The pattern for executing the revariable display includes a first revariable display pattern (for example, a weak pseudo pattern) and a second revariable display pattern (for example, a strong pseudo pattern).
The ratio of control to the advantageous state differs between when the revariable display is executed in the first revariable display pattern and when the revariable display is executed in the second revariable display pattern ( For example, as shown in FIG. 10-10, the pseudo pattern is a portion determined with a different probability depending on a predetermined hit type).
Each of the first re-variable display pattern and the second re-variable display pattern is a suggestion character (for example, the character "NEXT", "Next GO! After the characters) are displayed, a display (for example, the number of times display) suggesting that the variable display of the effect identification information is executed N + 1 times is displayed (for example, in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-36). The production of the weak pseudo pattern shown, the production of the strong pseudo pattern A shown in FIGS. 10-40 to 10-47),
The display mode of suggestive characters suggesting the execution of the N + 1th variable display of the effect identification information in the first revariable display pattern and the execution of the variable display of the N + 1th effect identification information in the second revariable display pattern are suggested. The display mode of the suggested characters is different (for example, the character display mode of the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-32 and the character of the strong pseudo pattern A shown in FIGS. 10-40 to 10-42. (Different from the display mode),
The display mode suggesting that the variable display of the effect identification information in the first revariable display pattern is N + 1th, and the variable display of the effect identification information in the second revariable display pattern are executed. The display mode of the display suggesting that it is the N + 1th time is different (for example, the mode of displaying the number of weak pseudo patterns shown in FIGS. 10-32 to 10-36 and the display mode shown in FIGS. 10-43 to 10-47. The mode of displaying the number of times of the strong pseudo pattern A is different).

Specifically, in the weak pseudo pattern, in the effect mode shown in FIGS. 10-19 to 10-36, after the characters "NEXT" suggesting the execution of the revariable display are displayed, the decorative pattern is variable. The character "x2" indicating that the display has been executed for the second time is displayed. On the other hand, in the strong pseudo pattern, as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-49, the characters "Next GO !!" suggesting the execution of the revariable display in an effect mode different from the weak pseudo pattern. After being displayed, the character "x2" is displayed, which suggests that the variable display of the decorative pattern has been executed for the second time. Therefore, either the weak pseudo system or the strong pseudo system can be re-variable. Whether it is a suggestive effect or not, it can be made to be recognized by the player depending on the difference in the effect mode, and it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the revariable display is performed.

(3-2) When the revariable display is executed in the second revariable display pattern, it is controlled to the advantageous state as compared with the case where the revariable display is executed in the first revariable display pattern. (For example, as shown in FIG. 10-10, the strong pseudo pattern has a higher reliability of the jackpot than the weak pseudo pattern).
The first aspect and the second aspect are both aspects of animation display.
In the second aspect, the movement distance of the display suggesting that the variable display of the effect identification information is executed N + 1 times is longer than that in the first aspect (for example, in FIGS. 10-25 to 10-36). The production of the weak pseudo pattern shown and the production of the strong pseudo pattern A shown in FIGS. 10-40 to 10-47).

Specifically, the effect mode of the number display in the weak pseudo pattern and the effect mode of the number display in the strong pseudo pattern are both display modes by animation, and as shown in FIGS. 10-32 to 10-36, In the weak pseudo pattern, in the appearance display part, the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed appears from the center of the screen, and then shifts to the center display part and the storage display part. On the other hand, in the strong pseudo pattern, as shown in FIGS. 10-43 to 10-47, in the strong pseudo pattern, the character "x2" suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed in the appearance display part. Appears by moving from the reduced display special image toward the front side, and then shifts to the center display part and the storage display part. Comparing the appearance display parts of both, the strong pseudo pattern has a longer distance for the character "x2" to move than the weak pseudo pattern, and the appearance display is performed for a longer time. It can be emphasized, and it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the production of the strong pseudo pattern has been executed.

(3-3) During the revariable display, a display suggesting that the number of times the variable display of the suggestion character and the effect identification information is executed is N + 1 is displayed in the corner of the display area in the display means (for example). As shown in FIGS. 10-36, during the revariable display, the characters "NEXT" suggesting the revariable display and the characters "x2" suggesting the number of times the revariable display is executed are displayed in the corners of the screen. As shown in FIG. 10-48, during the revariable display, the characters "Next GO !!" suggesting the revariable display and "x2" suggesting the number of times the revariable display is executed. The part where the characters are displayed in the corner of the screen),
The display suggesting that the variable display of the effect identification information is executed N + 1 times includes an appearance display part in which the display starts in the display means and a central display part in which the display is displayed in the center of the display area. , A portion of the central display part and the storage display part in the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-33 to 10-36, including a storage display part that is stored in a corner of the display area and displayed. The central display part and the storage display part in the strong pseudo pattern shown in 10-44 to 10-47),
The animation display from the center display part to the storage display part is common to the first revariable display pattern and the second revariable display pattern.

Specifically, the central display part and the storage display part in the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-33 to 10-36, and the center display part and the storage display part in the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-44 to 10-47. Is a common display mode by animation of the character "x2" that suggests the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed, and the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern suggest the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed. Since only the appearance display part is different for the effect of the characters to be displayed, the player can pay more attention to the effect of the appearance display part in which the character suggesting the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed appears.

(3-4) In the storage display part,
In the first revariable display pattern, the suggestion character does not remain in the center of the display area (for example, the number display portion in the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-34 and 10-35).
In the second revariable display pattern, the suggestion character remains and is displayed in the center of the display area (for example, a portion of the number display in the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-45 and 10-46).

Specifically, in the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-34 and 10-35, the character "x2" indicating the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed is enlarged to the maximum and the entire screen is enlarged. After covering, when the character "x2" leaves, a background image corresponding to the revariable display appears from the back side. On the other hand, in the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-45 and 10-46, after the character "x2" indicating the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed is enlarged to the maximum and covers the entire screen. After that, even if the character "x2" disappears, a special image including the character "Next GO !!", which suggests revariable display, remains and is displayed. As a result, the strong pseudo pattern can still show the special image to the player even after the storage display is performed, so that the strong pseudo pattern is revariablely displayed as compared with the weak pseudo pattern. Can be emphasized and suggested to the player.

(4-1) A gaming machine that can perform variable display of identification information and can control an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player based on the variable display display result being a specific display result (for example, a jackpot gaming state). For example, a pachinko game machine 1)
When the variable display mode is in the reach state, the reach display means (for example, the character of "reach" by the effect control CPU 120) for displaying a specific message (for example, the character of "reach") related to the reach state is displayed. With processing to display)
The reach display means
The specific message can be displayed in a plurality of types (for example, colors) and can be displayed.
The specific message can be displayed multiple times (for example, the part where the characters "reach" are displayed in three parts).
When the specific message is displayed a plurality of times, the reach-stated identification information (for example, a decorative symbol) operates in conjunction with the specific message (for example, the reach shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39). Line production).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39, when the reach state is reached, a reach line that displays "reach" as a specific message related to the reach state is executed, and the reach line is executed. Is displayed with the characters "reach" a plurality of times, and the characters "reach" are displayed in the colors determined by the reach line color lottery shown in FIGS. 10-12 to 10-13. Further, in conjunction with the appearance and movement of the character "reach" on the reach line, the decorative symbol of "2" in the reach mode is displayed so as to move. As a result, it is possible to preferably suggest to the player that the player is in the reach state by displaying the "reach" message.

(4-2) The direction in which the displayed specific message moves is the same as the direction in which the displayed identification information faces (for example, the effect of the reach line shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39). ..

Specifically, in the reach line, the direction in which the character "reach" moves is the same as the direction in which the decorative pattern of "2", which is the reach mode, faces, so that the player feels a little creepy. However, it can be suggested that it is in a reach state.

(4-3) Among the specific messages displayed a plurality of times, the display time of the specific message displayed last is the longest (for example, the effect of the reach line shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39).
The degree of expectation controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the mode of the specific message displayed at the end (for example, the color of the "reach" appearing at the end is the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12. The part determined according to the fluctuation pattern).

Specifically, in the reach line, among the "reach" characters displayed multiple times, the last appearing "reach" character has the longest display time, and the last appearing "reach" color. Is determined according to the fluctuation pattern in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12, so that the expectation of the jackpot differs depending on the color of the "reach" that appears at the end. For this reason, it is possible to draw attention to the color of the final "reach" that suggests the expectation of a big hit to the player.

(4-4) Of the specific messages displayed a plurality of times, the display time in the specific message displayed the first time and the display time in the specific message displayed the second time are the same length (4-4). For example, the effect of the reach line shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-39).

Specifically, in the reach line, among the characters of "reach" displayed multiple times, the character of "reach" appearing the first time and the character of "reach" appearing the second time are displayed. Since the time is the same length, it is possible to suggest that the player is in the reach state while making the player feel a little creepy.

(4-5) When the specific effect is executed, the specific message is not displayed a plurality of times, and only the specific message corresponding to the final time is displayed (for example, shown in FIGS. 10-54 to 10-57). The part that performs the specific reach fanning).

Specifically, when the effect according to the strong pseudo pattern A in which the reach line is performed is executed, if the specific reach fanning is performed in the pre-variation, the production image of the specific reach fanning is on the front side of the effect image of the reach line. Is displayed, the effect of the specific reach fan is finished, and when the transparency of the effect image of the specific reach fan becomes 100% and disappears, the effect image of the reach line located on the back side appears, and in this case, the final The player can see only the word "reach" corresponding to the inning. As a result, it is possible to emphasize to the player that the player has reached the reach state due to the specific reach, and to clearly show the player the "reach" corresponding to the final round.

(4-6) When a specific effect for inciting whether or not the variable display mode is in the reach state is executed, the specific message is not displayed a plurality of times, and only the specific message corresponding to the final time is displayed (4-6). For example, an example of a strong pseudo pattern when executing the specific reach fan shown in FIGS. 10-54 to 10-57),
When the specific effect is not executed, the specific message is displayed a plurality of times (for example, an example of a strong pseudo pattern when the specific reach fanning shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-40 is not executed).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-37 to 10-40, when the specific reach fanning is not executed, the characters of "reach" for three times such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" are reached. While showing the player the effect of the line, as shown in FIGS. 10-54 to 10-57, when a specific reach fan is executed, three times such as "reach", "reach", and "reach" are performed. Of the "reach", the first and second "reach" are executed by repeatedly inciting specific reach, and the final "reach" is shown to the player. In this way, the interest of the game can be improved by dividing the number of characters of "reach" to be shown to the player by the reach line according to whether or not the specific reach fanning is executed.

(4-7) Among the specific messages displayed a plurality of times, the degree of expectation controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the mode of the specific message displayed last (for example, the "reach" that appears last. The color of is determined according to the fluctuation pattern in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12).

Specifically, among the "reach" characters displayed multiple times on the reach line, the color of the "reach" character that appears last depends on the variation pattern in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12. Will be decided. Further, in the reach line final color lottery, when the pseudo-ream is not performed, only the color of the last "reach" character in the reach line when the reach mode is set in one variable display is determined. When the variable display is performed twice by the pseudo-ream, the color of the last "reach" character in the reach line when the reach mode is reached in each of the two variable displays is determined, and further, the color of the last "reach" character is determined. When the variable display is performed three times by the pseudo-ream, the color of the last "reach" character in the reach line when the reach mode is reached in each of the three variable displays is determined. As a result, the player's attention can be drawn to the color of the character "reach" that appears last in the reach line, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(4-8) The degree of expectation controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the combination of the specific messages displayed a plurality of times (for example, the color combination of the character "reach" that appears last in each reach line is different. , The part determined according to the fluctuation pattern in the reach line final color lottery shown in FIG. 10-12).

Specifically, in the reach line final color lottery, the expectation of a big hit differs depending on the color combination of the character "reach" that appears last in each reach line that is held multiple times, so multiple times. It is possible to attract the player's attention to the color combination of the letters "reach" that appears at the end of each reach line, and to improve the interest of the game.

[Modification example of feature section 087F]
A modified example of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the feature portion 087F described above will be described.

(Comparison of the production mode of the number of times display between the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern)
In the present embodiment, the central display part and the storage display part in the weak pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-33 to 10-36 and the central display part and the storage in the strong pseudo pattern shown in FIGS. 10-44 to 10-47. The display part has a common display mode by animation of the character "x2" that suggests the number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed. The weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern have the same number of times the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed. Although only the appearance display part was different for the effect of the character suggesting the above, it may be configured as follows.

During the revariable display, a display suggesting that the number of times the variable display of the suggestion character and the effect identification information is executed is N + 1 is displayed in the corner of the display area in the display means.
The display suggesting that the variable display of the effect identification information is executed N + 1 times includes an appearance display part in which the display starts in the display means and a central display part in which the display is displayed in the center of the display area. , Including a storage display part that is stored in the corner of the display area and displayed.
The animation display in any of the appearance display part, the center display part, and the storage display part is different between the first revariable display pattern and the second revariable display pattern.

Specifically, the appearance display part, the center display part, and the storage display part in the weak pseudo pattern, and the appearance display part, the center display part, and the storage display part in the strong pseudo pattern are all variable display of the decorative pattern. The mode of display by animation of the character "x2" suggesting the number of executions may be different. In this way, it is possible to bring out the characteristics of the production for each pseudo pattern by the production by different animations, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, if the weak pseudo pattern and the strong pseudo pattern have the same display mode by animation for any of the appearance display part, the center display part, and the storage display part, the display mode by animation is different for the others. You may let me.

(About the repetition of specific characters in the character display part)
In the present embodiment, when the revariable display is executed, the expectation of the jackpot is improved, and among the suggestive characters "NEXT" suggesting the execution of the revariable display, "T" is used as a specific character. Was displayed repeatedly multiple times.

However, the specific character to be repeatedly displayed a plurality of times is not limited to "T", but may be the first character ("N") of the suggestion character, or an intermediate character ("E", "X"). ) May be. Further, the specific character is not limited to one character, and may be a plurality of characters (for example, "X" and "T").

Further, the suggestion character is not limited to "NEXT", and may be any character as long as it suggests the execution of revariable display. For example, the suggestion character may be "next" or "next".

It also suggests characters that suggest that the player is or will be advantageous, such as "chance," "heat," "development," "○○ BONUS," and "○○ RUSH." It may be applied to characters. Specifically, as a big hit notice effect that incites whether or not it will be a big hit, a battle effect in which a ally character and an enemy character develop a battle may be executed, and in the battle effect, the ally character makes an effective attack. At that time, the suggestion character of "chance" may be displayed. In this case, the specific character of "cha" among the suggestion characters of "chance" may be repeatedly displayed and the voice of "cha" may be repeatedly output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Further, the suggestion character of "○○ RUSH" may be displayed as a title call when entering a state advantageous for the player such as a probability change state or a time saving state. In this case, the specific character of "R" among the suggestion characters of "○○ RUSH" may be repeatedly displayed and the voice of "Ra" may be repeatedly output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Further, in an effect that is advantageous to the player, such as an effect that suggests the execution of the revariable display, a specific character is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times as in the present embodiment, but in an effect that is not advantageous to the player. , The specific character may not be displayed repeatedly a plurality of times. For example, if a battle effect is executed to notify whether or not a privilege is granted as the final result, and a friendly character wins an enemy character and is notified of the privilege, "Shori" is displayed, and "Ri" is displayed. If the character "" is displayed repeatedly multiple times, but the ally character is defeated by the enemy character and the notification of the privilege is not given, only "Haiboku" is displayed and the character "ku" is not displayed repeatedly multiple times. It may be a thing. In addition, when an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state, a probability variation state, and a time saving state) starts, a specific character among the suggestion characters suggesting the start of the advantageous state is repeatedly displayed a plurality of times. Then, when the jackpot game state, the probability change state, and the time saving state) are completed, the specific character among the suggestion characters suggesting the end of the advantageous state may not be repeatedly displayed a plurality of times.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect of repeatedly displaying a specific character among the suggestion characters suggesting the execution of the revariable display is executed only in the weak pseudo pattern, but the strong pseudo pattern is executed. Also, the above-mentioned effect may be executed.

In the present embodiment, an example of the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been described with respect to the display of suggestive characters, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by providing a plurality of variable display units (reels) capable of variable display of a plurality of types of identification information (designs) that can be identified by each, and after variable display of the variable display unit, the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped. FIG. 10-25 to FIG. 10-31 show a slot machine capable of deriving a display result and generating a prize according to a display result combination (symbol combination) which is a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display units. The effect of displaying characters may be applied. For example, a suggestion character suggesting that the player has become advantageous when a bonus or AT that is advantageous to the player is won may be displayed like a character display part.

(About special display)

For example. Characters corresponding to other words, such as lines frequently spoken by the main characters (hero, etc.) appearing in the pachinko game machine 1, standard words, and words that are well known to players, may be displayed in a special display. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect of the special display is executed only in the strong pseudo pattern, but the effect of the special display as described above may be executed also in the weak pseudo pattern.

(About a specific message)
In the present embodiment, the character "reach" is applied as a specific message linked with the decorative pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. The specific message may be any message as long as it is related to the reach state, such as a character's dialogue.

For example, not only "reach" but also "chance", "heat", "development", etc. may be applied to a specific message. Specifically, when the reach state is reached, "reach" may be displayed in conjunction with the decorative design, and "chance" or "super heat" messages may be displayed in conjunction with the decorative design. However, only when "super heat" is displayed, the color of the characters of "super heat" in the final round may be displayed in gold, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than red. In this way, when the golden "super heat" is displayed in conjunction with the decorative pattern, the player can be expected to generate a big hit.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the mode of the specific message displayed in a plurality of times, the expectation of the big hit differs depending on the mode of the specific message corresponding to the final round, but the first time. The expectation of the jackpot may differ depending on the mode of the corresponding specific message, or the expectation of the jackpot may differ depending on the mode of the specific message corresponding in the middle.

In addition, the mode of the specific message with different expectations of the jackpot is not limited to the color, and any one can be applied as long as the player can recognize the mode of the specific message, such as the size and shape of the display of the specific message. You may.
