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 decorative symbols 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. Further, the total of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is also referred to as a total reserved storage number.

Further, at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the lower left of the game area), 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, and the second hold indicator 25B displays the second hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit.

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

The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning 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 can be paid out and the first special figure game can 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. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, a starting winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 81, and when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, the starting winning opening door is in the closed position, so that the second starting winning opening is used. It is in a closed state where the game ball does not enter (also referred to as the second start winning opening is in a closed state). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening because the starting winning opening door is in the open position when the solenoid 81 is in the on state (second). It is also said that the starting 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 device that changes between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to a device including an electric tulip-type accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces. Further, 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.

A general winning opening 10 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four positions on the lower left and right sides of the game area), which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. 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. 2), 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 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize at the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting 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 Y). 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.

A push button 31B is provided at a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area Y so that the player can perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

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

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area Y by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 with respect to the ball striking operation handle 30 by the player. 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 general map 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 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 opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., which will be described later) are prepared, and the big hit is made according to these. The type is set. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained or a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or 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 is opened. 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 referred to as a number-cutting (time-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probability change state, which is advantageous for the player, 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 (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, the time saving state is also called the low accuracy high base state, the probability variation state is called the high accuracy high base state, and the normal state is also called the low accuracy low base 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 is not necessary that there is a "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.

(Progress of production, etc.)
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 aligned and displayed as a stop, 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", a fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example," "is a predetermined small hit combination as a display result of 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, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". 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 for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution and a look-ahead notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the look-ahead 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).

Are extracted and stored (stored) at the highest level of free entries in the first special figure reservation storage unit and the second special figure reservation storage unit, and the start winning process is executed.

Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to start the special figure game based on the presence or absence of the hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit and the second special figure hold storage unit, and the special figure display result. Based on the numerical data indicating the random value for judgment, it is decided (predetermined) whether or not the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is a "big hit" before the variation display result is derived and displayed. Executes normal symbol processing. That is, when the CPU 103 starts the variable display of the special figure game, whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result as the display result of the variable display based on the random number value stored when the start winning is generated. Execute the process of determining (lottery).

The random number circuit 104 counts updatable numerical data indicating various random number values (game random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The game random number may be one that is updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (one that is updated by software).

The I / O 105 includes, for example, an input port into which various signals (detection signals described later) are input, various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, ordinary symbol display 20, first hold). It is configured to include an output port for transmitting (a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal figure hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 is a detection signal (a game ball passes or is passed) from various switches for detecting a game ball (gate switch 21, start port switch (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), count switch 23). It takes in a detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering and transmits it to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, the passage or approach of the game ball is detected.

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

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

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

The effect control board 12 is equipped with an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125.

It is composed of a rotating portion 341 having a left wall portion 341C to be connected, a protruding wall portion 341D projecting from the upper end of the left wall portion 341C, and a cylindrical shaft portion 342 facing in the front-rear direction. Bearing portions 343A and 343B that rotatably support the front and rear ends of the shaft portion 342 are erected on the left side of the upper surface of the cover portion 334. Further, a slit 344 into which the front wall portion 341A can be inserted is formed on the right side of the bearing portion 343A in the cover portion 334.

As shown in FIG. 16, when the third cover body 330 is attached to the first passage forming body 203, the cover portion 324 covers the upper part of the downstream portion of the first guide passage forming portion 202. Since the cover portion 324 is arranged so as to incline downward toward the downstream side (left side) so as to approach the bottom wall portion 203A, the game balls P stacked vertically in the first guide passage forming portion 202 are placed. It is leveled while flowing down so that it can finally flow out one by one from the connecting hole 272. In particular, since the rectifying plate 338 can be elastically deformed when the game balls come into contact with each other, the rectifying plate 338 is leveled (rectified) so as to push the game balls downward to the extent that ball clogging does not occur.

(Ball stop member 340)
As shown in FIG. 16A, the ball stopper 340 is rotatable between an upright position in which the rotating portion 341 stands up and an inclining position in which the rotating portion 341 tilts to the right, and the rotating portion 341 Is located in the upright position, and the front wall portion 341A deviates upward from the slit 344 to allow the game ball of the first guide passage forming portion 202 to flow down to the second guide passage forming portion 204, and the rotation. The portion 341 is located at the tilted position, the front wall portion 341A is inserted into the slit 344 and can come into contact with the game ball, and the game ball of the first guide passage forming portion 202 cannot flow down (or flows down) to the second guide passage forming portion 204. It is possible to change to the second state (difficult), that is, the ball stop state.

By setting the ball stop member 340 in the second state in this way, it is possible to restrict the entry of the game ball into the second guide passage forming portion 204. Therefore, in this state, the game in the second guide passage forming portion 204 It is possible to remove the ball and remove the payout device 200 for inspection or replacement.

A spring (not shown) for urging the connection pinch in the closing direction, that is, in the direction of sandwiching the tip of the cable C is provided. The mounting member 232 is provided with a plurality of operation units 233 for releasing each connection pinch (not shown) against the urging force of the spring (not shown).

The number of cables C that can be connected to the plurality of connection holes 231 of the terminal board 210 as the first board provided above the first guide passage forming portion 202 is the first number (for example, 20). On the other hand, each signal line is also connected to the second substrate such as the main substrate 11 and the effect control substrate 12 provided below the first guide passage forming portion 202, but the number of the second is less than the first number. The number (for example, 10) is set.

A plurality of the operation portions 233 are provided corresponding to the connection hole portions 231 and have a substantially hook shape in a side view, and are swung in the front-rear direction with the base end side thereof as a swing shaft. When opening the connection pinch (not shown) described above, the connection pinch (not shown) is released by pressing the operation unit 233 upward or downward to swing the operation unit 233. Then, when the tip of the cable C is inserted into the connection hole 231 with the connection pinch open and the pressing operation of the operation unit 233 is stopped, the connection pinch is closed by the urging force of the spring (not shown). Cable C will be held. The operation units 233 arranged in the left-right direction have different shapes alternately in the left-right direction so that the adjacent operation units 233 do not interfere with the pressing operation when the predetermined operation unit 233 is pressed. There is.

The board mounting frame 211 is mounted from the back side in the mounting hole H6 formed in the upper part in a state where the locking piece 212 projecting downward from the lower side is inserted into the locking hole 213 formed in the rear wall portion 225B. The screw member N6 is screwed into the screw hole formed in the mounting member 223 to be mounted on the mounting member 223. Further, the substrate mounting frame 211 is formed with a horizontally long rectangular opening 234.

On the inner surface of the board mounting frame 211, a plurality of regulating portions 235 that regulate the forward movement of the terminal board 210 by locking to the peripheral edge of the terminal substrate 210 inserted from the front side, and the restricting portions 235 forward the terminal board 210. A plurality of locking portions 236 that can be elastically locked to the peripheral edge of the terminal substrate 210 whose movement is restricted from the front side, and a positioning piece 237 that abuts on the peripheral edge of the terminal substrate 210 to determine the arrangement position. Have. Therefore, the terminal board 210 is inserted from the front side of the board mounting frame 211, and the locking portion 236 is elastically locked in a state where the forward movement is restricted by the plurality of regulating portions 235 to mount the terminal board. It is attached to the frame 211. That is, the terminal board 210 is attached to the board mounting frame 211 by using a plurality of regulating portions 235 and locking portions 236 as mounting means different from the screw members (by a mounting method different from the mounting method using the screw members). Can be installed.

Since the terminal board 210 is formed with a plurality of connection holes 231 to which the cables C can be connected, the operation unit 233 corresponding to each cable C is formed during the wiring work for connecting the plurality of cables C to the connection holes 231. Need to be operated. Further, when the pachinko game machine 1 is fixed to the game island and the clerk of the game hall opens the game machine frame 3 for inspection or the like, the cable C hanging from the upper part of the game island is the outer frame. The connection may be tensioned by being routed forward of the 60. That is, since the terminal board 210 tends to be loaded on the mounting portion, when the terminal board 210 is mounted on the board mounting frame 211 or the mounting member 223 by the screw member, the screw member loosens and easily comes off. Therefore, the terminal board 210 is mounted by a mounting method that does not use the screw member. ing.

Further, in a state where the terminal board 210 is mounted on the board mounting frame 211, the connection hole portion 231 and the operation portion 233 of the terminal board 210 face the back side from the opening 234 (see FIG. 17 (A)). ). Further, since the plurality of operation units 233 project substantially horizontally toward the rear, the screw members N3 to N6 can be held by the plurality of operation units 233 arranged side by side as described later. Further, a recess 242 capable of accommodating the screw members N3 to N6 is formed between the lower portion of the terminal board 210 and the front portion of the board mounting frame 211.

(Attached state of screw members N1 to N16)
Next, the mounting states of the screw members N1 to N16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 21. FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing a state in which the periphery of the ball tank portion on the back surface of the game frame is viewed from diagonally behind. 19A is a plan view showing the periphery of the ball tank portion on the back surface of the game frame, and FIG. 19B is a sectional view taken along line MM of FIG. 19A. FIG. 20 is a perspective view showing a state in which the periphery of the first guide passage forming portion on the back surface of the game frame is viewed from diagonally behind. FIG. 21 is a plan view showing the periphery of the first guide passage forming portion on the back surface of the game frame. 22A is a sectional view taken along the line NN of FIG. 21, FIG. 22B is a sectional view showing a rotational state of the screw member, and FIG. 22C is a sectional view taken along the line OO of FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line PP of FIG. 21, and FIG. 23B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line QQ of FIG. FIG. 24 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line RR of FIG. FIG. 25 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line SS of FIG. 26A and 26B show a retention state of the screw member when the ball stopper is in the first state, FIG. 26B is a sectional view taken along the line TT of FIG. 26A, and FIG. 26C is a second state of the ball stopper. The staying state of the screw member at the time of (D) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line UU of (C). FIG. 27 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the first guide passage forming portion showing the moving state of the screw member. FIG. 28 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the first guide passage forming portion showing the moving state of the game ball on the cover portion.

As shown in FIGS. 9, 18 and 19 (A), the ball tank forming portion 201 on the back surface of the gaming machine frame 3 and its periphery are screw members N1 to for mounting the mounting member 223 to the metal plate 222. Screw members N11, N12, and N15 for attaching N2 and the first passage forming body 203 to the attachment member 223 are attached.

Specifically, the screw members N1 and N2 are attached to the right side from the ball tank forming portion 201 and from the back side to the front at a position below the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B in the ball tank forming portion 201. Therefore, even if the screw members N1 and N2 loosen due to vibration or impact generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and fall out rearward, it is extremely unlikely that they will fall into the ball tank forming portion 201 as shown in FIG. ..

Because the screw members N11 and N12 are attached from the back side to the front on the outer surface of the standing wall portion 203B on the right side of the ball tank forming portion 201 and at a position below the upper end edge of the ball tank forming portion 201. Even if the screw members N11 and N12 loosen due to vibration or impact generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and fall out rearward, it is extremely unlikely that they will fall into the ball tank forming portion 201 as shown in FIG.

Since the screw member N15 is attached from the upper side to the lower side on the outer surface of the standing wall portion 203B on the right side of the ball tank forming portion 201 and at a position lower than the upper end edge of the ball tank forming portion 201, pachinko game Even if the screw member N15 loosens due to vibration or impact generated in the machine 1 and falls off upward, it is extremely unlikely that the screw member N15 will fall into the ball tank forming portion 201 as shown in FIG.

Further, the screw members N1, N2, N11, N12, and N15 form a ball tank in which the game balls supplied by the replenishment device 150 from the circulation path above the game island are received and stored, and the load of a large number of game balls is applied. Since it is arranged around the portion 201, vibration and impact are likely to occur. Therefore, a threaded member with a flange is used because the contact area with the attached portion is large and loosening is unlikely to occur.

Further, the screw members N1, N2, N11, N12, and N15 around the ball tank forming portion 201 are located at positions where they are unlikely to fall into the ball tank forming portion 201 even if they loosen and fall off, that is, the upper surface opening of the ball tank forming portion 201. Since it is arranged below, it may be mixed into the ball tank forming portion 201 which opens upward to receive and store the game balls supplied by the replenishment device 150 from the circulation path above the game island. It is suppressed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, the ball tank forming portion 201 is close to (or may be in contact with) the upper surface side of the plate-shaped first protruding portion 224 that protrudes rearward in the mounting member 223. The gap L30 between the bottom wall portion 203A and the first protruding portion 224 is shorter than the diameter L1 of the male screw portion NS of the screw member (L30 <L1), so that the bottom It is unlikely that the screw member is sandwiched between the wall portion 203A and the first protruding portion 224 and is held in the vicinity of the ball tank forming portion 201.

Further, the gap L31 formed between the rear portion of the bottom wall portion 203A of the ball tank forming portion 201 and the upper wall portion 220H of the cover body 220 is formed from the head L2 of the flanged screw member and the diameter L3 of the flange portion F. (L3> L2), the flanged screw member is hardly caught in the gap L31 and held in the vicinity of the ball tank forming portion 201.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 (B), if the screw member N15 falls out of the mounting hole H15 as the mounted portion and falls on the upper wall portion 220H of the cover body 220, the upper wall portion 220H becomes Since the screw member N15 that has fallen flows down to either the rear or the left because it is inclined downward toward the back surface side, it is hardly held in the vicinity of the ball tank forming portion 201. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dropped screw member N15 from being mixed into the substrate cases 11A, 12A, 37A, 91A provided below the ball tank forming portion 201 and contacting the wiring of the substrate to cause disconnection or the like. ..

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9, 20 and 21 (A), screw members N3 to N5 for mounting the mounting member 223 to the metal plate 222 and a substrate are provided in and around the first guide passage forming portion 202. The screw member N6 for mounting the mounting frame 211 on the mounting member 223, the screw members N13 and N14 for mounting the first passage forming body 203 on the mounting member 223, and the third cover body 330 are attached to the first guiding passage forming portion 202. A screw member N16 for attaching to the screw member N16 is attached.

Specifically, the screw members N3 to N6 are separated from the first guide passage forming portion 202 to the front side and are directed from the back side to the front at a position above the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B in the first guide passage forming portion 202. The screw member is mounted by arranging the second protruding portion 225 of the mounting member 223 between the mounting positions of the screw members N3 to N6 and the first guide passage forming portion 202. Although the first guide passage forming portion 202 is separated to some extent from the mounting positions of each of N3 to N6, the upper wall portion 225A of the second protruding portion 225 is inclined downward toward the back side, so that the pachinko gaming machine When the screw members N3 to N6 loosen and fall out rearward due to the vibration or impact generated in 1, the screw members N3 to N6 move rearward on the upper wall portion 225A of the second protruding portion 225 as shown in FIG. There is a high possibility that it will fall into the guide passage forming portion 202.

As shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, the screw member N3 is formed in the mounting member 223 at a position forward from the upstream portion of the first guide passage forming portion 202 and above the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B. It is mounted in the mounting hole H3. Further, at a position on the upper surface of the upper wall portion 225A corresponding to the mounting hole H3, a concave groove 227 for avoiding interference with the head NH when the screw member N3 is mounted on the mounting hole H3 is linear toward the rear. It is extended to. The concave groove 227 is formed so that the left and right widths are tapered toward the rear side and become shallower. However, since the upper surface of the upper wall portion 225A is inclined downward toward the back side, the concave groove is formed. The bottom surface of the 227 is substantially horizontal (or slightly inclined downward toward the back surface side).

Therefore, if the screw member N3 loosens due to vibration or impact generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and falls out rearward, there is a high possibility that the screw member N3 will fall into the concave groove 227 on the upper wall portion 225A of the second protruding portion 225 (FIG. FIG. 22 (A)). Further, the screw member N3 that has fallen into the concave groove 227 is likely to be guided so as to move linearly toward the rear when vibration or impact occurs, but the concave groove 227 is substantially horizontal toward the rear. The screw member N3 is less likely to move rearward than the region other than the concave groove 227. That is, the concave groove 227 constitutes a special limiting portion for limiting the fall of the screw member N3 moving toward the first guiding passage forming portion 202 to the first guiding passage forming portion 202.

Here, all the screw members including the screw member N3 are composed of the head NH and the male screw portion NS, and when they fall on the upper surface of the flat upper wall portion 225A, the peripheral edge of the head NH and the male screw portion NS Since the screw member N3 tilted as shown in FIG. 22 (B) is often in a tilted posture when the two points are in contact with the tip (see FIG. 22 (A)), vibration or impact occurs. Occasionally, the head NH may rotate around the tip of the male screw portion NS so as to swing its head, and its direction may change. Therefore, if it falls on a flat surface other than the concave groove 227 on the upper surface of the upper wall portion 225A, or if it deviates from the rear end of the concave groove 227, it may move linearly toward the rear or the head. The NH may move to turn to the left or right by rotating like shaking its head. That is, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 20, when it moves so as to bend to the right toward the rear, it is highly likely that it falls on the first cover body 310, and when it moves linearly toward the rear, it is the first. There is a high possibility that the cover body 320 will fall on the horizontal wall portion 264 in front of the first guide passage when the cover body 320 is moved so as to bend to the left.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, when the screw member N3 that has fallen out of the mounting hole H3 is guided to the rear end of the concave groove 227 and then moves so as to bend rearward to the right, the first cover body. There is a high possibility that it will fall onto the cover portion 314 of 310. As shown in FIG. 22 (A), when the screw member N3 falls on the cover portion 314, the screw member N3 tilts so that the male screw portion NS intersects the elongated holes 316A to 316C, or the male screw portion NS becomes Although it is inserted into any of the elongated holes 316A to 316C, the head NH is locked without falling off, so that the head NH does not fall from the cover portion 314 into the first guide passage forming portion 202 and stays on the cover portion 314. Will be done. That is, the elongated holes 316A to 316C cause the screw member N3 that has fallen onto the cover portion 314 provided so as to cover a part of the upper surface of the first guide passage forming portion 202 to fall into the first guide passage forming portion 202. It constitutes a predetermined limiting unit for limiting.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, when the groove 227 is guided to the rear end and then linearly moved rearward, the cover portion 324 of the second cover body 320 or the first passage is formed. There is a high possibility that it will fall on the horizontal wall portion 264 of the body 203. As shown in FIG. 22C, when the screw member N3 falls on the cover portion 324, the screw member N3 tilts so that the male screw portion NS intersects the concave grooves 326A to 326C, or the male screw portion NS or the like. Since a part of the head NH is housed in the recessed grooves 326A to 326C, the head NH does not fall from the cover portion 324 into the first guide passage forming portion 202 but stays on the cover portion 324. That is, the concave grooves 326A to 326C cause the screw member N3 that has fallen onto the cover portion 324 provided so as to cover a part of the upper surface of the first guide passage forming portion 202 to fall into the first guide passage forming portion 202. It constitutes a predetermined limiting unit for limiting.

It constitutes a special restriction portion for restricting the fall of N13 to the first guide passage forming portion 202.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the screw member N4 is formed in the mounting member 223 at a position forward from the downstream portion of the first guide passage forming portion 202 and above the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B. It is mounted in the mounting hole H4. Therefore, if the screw member N4 loosens due to vibration or impact generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and falls out rearward, there is a high possibility that the screw member N4 will fall onto the upper wall portion 225A of the second protruding portion 225 (see FIG. 24).

As shown in FIGS. 20, 21 and 24, the screw member N4 that has fallen out of the mounting hole H4 moves rearward so as to bend to the right, or linearly moves rearward. In any case of moving so as to bend to the right, as shown in FIG. 24, the board mounting frame 211 falls from the rear end of the upper wall portion 211H of the board mounting frame 211 from above the upper wall portion 225A. The screw member N4 that has fallen from the rear end of the upper wall portion 211H enters the inside through the opening 234 and is accommodated and stays in the recess 242 formed by the substrate mounting frame 211 and the terminal substrate 210, or the substrate mounting frame. Although the male screw portion NS is inserted into the recess 243 formed between the 211 and the vertical wall portion 203B, the head NH may stay because it is locked without falling off. That is, the recess 242 and the recess 243 are provided between the mounting hole H4 around the first guide passage forming portion 202 and the first guide passage forming portion 202, and move toward the first guide passage forming portion 202. It constitutes a special restriction portion for restricting the fall of the screw member N4 to the first guide passage forming portion 202.

As shown in FIG. 24, when the screw member N4 falls from the rear end of the upper wall portion 211H, the screw member N4 may be held on the plurality of operation units 233. Further, when the pachinko game machine 1 is fixed to the game island, a plurality of cables C connected to the plurality of connection holes 231 hang down from the upper part of the game island (see FIG. 3). C may prevent the screw member N4 from falling from the rear end of the upper wall portion 211H. That is, the operation unit 233 and the cable C are provided between the mounting hole H4 around the first guide passage forming portion 202 and the first guide passage forming portion 202, and move toward the first guide passage forming portion 202. It constitutes a special restriction portion for restricting the falling of the screw member N4 that has been made to the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Further, when the screw member N4 falls out of the mounting hole H4 and moves so as to bend rearward and then crosses the vertical wall portion 203B, the first cover body is opened at the upper surface of the first guide passage forming portion 202. The first guide passage forming portion 202 from the uncovered region 350 provided between the second cover body 320 and the third cover body 330, which is not covered by any of the 310, the second cover body 320, and the third cover body 330. Fall into. The screw member N4 that has fallen to the first guide passage forming portion 202 moves toward the downstream side according to the flow of the game ball P, falls out from between the game balls, and approaches the bottom wall portion 203A. It falls from any of the holes 271B to 271D formed at the position corresponding to the uncovered region 350 in the guide passage forming portion 202 and is discharged to the outside of the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Further, even if it does not fall from any of the holes 271B to 271D, it finally falls from any of the holes 271A to 271H and is discharged to the outside of the first guide passage forming portion 202. That is, the holes 271A to 271H form a specific restriction portion for restricting the movement of the screw member N4 that has fallen into the ball tank forming portion 201 or the first guide passage forming portion 202 to the payout device 200.

On the other hand, when the screw member N4 slips out of the mounting hole H4 and moves so as to bend to the left toward the rear and then crosses the vertical wall portion 203B, it is placed on the recess 336 on the cover portion 334 of the third cover body 330. By falling, the cover portion 334 does not fall into the first guide passage forming portion 202, but is housed in the recess 336 and stays there. That is, the recess 336 is for limiting the drop of the screw member N4 that has fallen on the cover portion 334 provided so as to cover a part of the upper surface of the first guide passage forming portion 202 to the first guide passage forming portion 202. Consists of a predetermined restriction part of.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the screw member N6 is formed in the substrate mounting frame 211 at a position forward from the downstream portion of the first guide passage forming portion 202 and above the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B. It is mounted in the mounting hole H6. Therefore, if the screw member N6 loosens due to vibration or impact generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and falls off rearward, there is a high possibility that the screw member N6 will fall onto the upper wall portion 211H of the board mounting frame 211 (see FIG. 25).

As shown in FIGS. 20, 21 and 25, the screw member N6 that has fallen out of the mounting hole H6 is guided to move linearly rearward by a plurality of ribs 211A extending rearward. After that, when it is moved so as to bend to the right side, as shown in FIG. 25, it falls to a position near the upstream side of the ball stopper 340 on the cover portion 334 of the third cover body 330. As described with reference to FIG. 16, the cover portion 334 covers the upper surface opening of the first guide passage forming portion 202 so as to incline downward toward the downstream side (payout device 200 side), so that the cover portion 334 is on the cover portion 334. The screw member N6 that has fallen to a position near the upstream side of the ball fixing member 340 in the above is likely to move toward the downstream side.

As shown in FIG. 26, the screw member N6 that has moved to the downstream side comes into contact with the ball stopper 340 provided at the downstream side end portion (left end portion) that is the lower side of the cover portion 334, and is brought into contact with the downstream side (the left end portion). By restricting the movement to the left side), it stays on the cover portion 334.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B, when the ball stopper 340 is in the first state, the right side of the rotating portion 341 is opened, and the front wall portion 341A and the rear wall portion 341B are opened. Since the screw member N6 can be retained in the space surrounded by the wall portion having a substantially U-shape in a plan view composed of the left wall portion 341C, the screw member N6 is held without dropping from the cover portion 334. be able to. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 26 (C) and 26 (D), when the ball stopper 340 is in the second state, the protruding wall portion 341D is positioned in an upright state so as to cross the passage, so that the screw member N6 is inserted into the protruding wall. Since it can be retained on the right side of the portion 341D, the screw member N6 can be held without dropping from the cover portion 334.

In the second state, the protruding wall portion 341D is only arranged so as to intersect with respect to the inclination direction, and the front and rear sides are open, so that the screw member N6 whose movement is restricted may fall backward or forward. On the other hand, in the first state, the front and rear left sides of the screw member N6 whose movement is restricted are covered with the front wall portion 341A, the rear wall portion 341B, and the left wall portion 341C. It can be more reliably retained than in the second state where the left wall portion 341C is located only on the left side. That is, the ball stopper 340 is provided on the side of the payout device 200 in the tilt direction of the cover portion 334, and constitutes a specific portion capable of retaining the screw member N6 that has fallen on the cover portion 334 in the cover portion 334. doing.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the screw member N5 is separated from the downstream portion of the first guide passage forming portion 202 to the front right side in the mounting member 223, and is located above the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B. Although it is attached to the formed mounting hole H5, the first guide passage forming portion 202 is not arranged directly behind the mounting hole H5, and the upper wall portion 225A of the second protruding portion 225 is also cut in the middle. Since it has been scratched, if the screw member N5 loosens due to vibration or impact and falls out backward, it falls on the upper wall portion 225A of the second protruding portion 225, but before reaching the first guide passage forming portion 202. There is a high possibility that the upper wall portion 225A will fall out of the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Further, the screw member N16 is attached to the mounting hole H16 formed in the third cover body 330 on the rear side of the first guide passage forming portion 202 and below the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B. Therefore, if the screw member N5 loosens due to vibration or impact and falls out rearward, there is a high possibility that the screw member N5 will fall out of the first guide passage forming portion 202 without falling into the first guide passage forming portion 202. ..

(Action / effect)
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27, a screw member provided at a position above the first guide passage forming portion 202 in the gaming machine frame 3. N3 to N6, etc. come off due to loosening caused by vibration or impact generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and move backward on the upper wall portion 225A due to vibration or impact or opening / closing of the gaming machine frame 3, and then cover. When it falls on the portions 314, 324 and 334, the elongated holes 316A to 316C, the recessed grooves 326A to 326C, the recess 336 and the ball stopper 340 restrict the drop to the first guide passage forming portion 202. Since there is a high possibility that the cover portions 314, 324 and 334 will stay on the cover portions 314, 324 and 334 without falling into the first guide passage forming portion 202, the screws that have fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202. It is possible to prevent the members from moving and being mixed into the payout device 200. Further, since a vertical wall portion is formed at the left (downstream side) end of the elongated holes 316A to 316C and the concave grooves 326A to 326C, even if the screw member moves to the left side, it enters the first guide passage forming portion 202. Can be suitably prevented from falling.

Further, as shown in FIG. 28, on the upper surface of the first guide passage forming portion 202, the regions other than the uncovered region 350 are covered by the cover portions 314, 324 and 334, but the ball tank forming portion 201 Even if the replenished game ball spills and gets on the cover parts 314 and 324 on the upstream side, the front-rear dimensions of the elongated holes 316A to 316C and the concave grooves 326A to 326C are from the diameter 2R of the game ball P. The game ball P rolls to the left side, then falls from the left end of the cover portion 324 to the uncovered region 350, and is returned to the inside of the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Therefore, not only can the game ball that has been placed on the cover portions 314 and 324 be returned to the inside of the first guide passage forming portion 202, but also the game ball P stays in the elongated holes 316A to 316C and the concave grooves 326A to 326C. As a result, the space in which the dropped screw member N stays is limited, or the falling screw member N comes into contact with the staying game ball and falls from the uncovered area 350 into the first guide passage forming portion 202. Can be prevented.

When the game ball falls on the cover portion 334, it flows down on the cover portion 334 toward the left side and the flow is regulated by the ball stop member 340, or it falls out of the first guide passage forming portion 202. To do.

Further, in the elongated holes 316A to 316C as the first retaining portion and the concave grooves 326A to 326C as the second retaining portion, the concave groove 326B is provided at a position closer to the dispensing device 200 than the elongated holes 316A to 316C. The front-rear dimension L22B is larger than the front-rear dimension L22 of the elongated hole 316B (L22B> L21). By doing so, the screw member tends to stay in the retention portion as it approaches the payout device 200, so that the screw member that has fallen on the cover portions 314 and 324 moves and falls into the first guide passage forming portion 202. It can be prevented from doing so.

On the other hand, the screw members N3 to N6 that have fallen and stayed on the cover portions 314, 324 and 334 move due to vibration or impact, and are not covered provided between the cover portion 324 and the cover portion 334. When it falls from the area 350 into the first guide passage forming portion 202, or after moving backward on the upper wall portion 225A like the screw member N4, the first guide passage forming portion 202 from the uncovered area 350. Even if it falls directly inward, it falls out from between the game balls and approaches the bottom wall portion 203A while moving toward the downstream side according to the flow of the game ball P in the first guide passage forming portion 202. As a result, the screw member falls from any of the holes 271A to 271H and is discharged to the outside of the first guide passage forming portion 202, so that the screw member that has fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202 moves to the payout device 200. It is possible to suppress mixing.

Further, the plurality of holes 271A to 271H formed in the bottom wall portion 203A are formed from the middle flow portion (near the meandering portion 273) to the downstream portion in the first guide passage forming portion 202, and are formed in the ball tank forming portion 201. There is a region in which no hole is formed between the holes 270A and 270B formed at close positions and the hole 271A on the most upstream side of the holes 271A to 271H. As described above, since a region in which a plurality of holes are not formed is formed in the upstream portion of the first guide passage forming portion 202, the game balls from the ball tank forming portion 201 flow down in a vertically stacked state. By doing so, it is possible to suitably prevent a decrease in strength of the bottom wall portion 203A near the upstream portion in the first guide passage forming portion 202 to which the ball pressure is applied.

Further, by forming the region in which the hole portion is not formed in the first guide passage forming portion 202 in this way, the screw member dropped from the first guide passage forming portion 202 is formed in the rear wall portion of the cover body 220. It is possible to appropriately suppress the entry into the inside of the cover body 220 from the heat radiation hole 220B (see FIG. 6) or the like.

Further, by providing the first cover body 310 and the second cover body 320 at positions corresponding to the regions where the holes are not formed in the first guide passage forming portion 202, the screw member is provided in the first guide passage forming portion 202. Can be suppressed from falling, and the screw member that has fallen to the first guide passage forming portion 202 can be prevented from being mixed into the payout device 200 without falling to the outside of the first guide passage forming portion 202. be able to.

Further, since the largest hole 271H among the plurality of holes 271A to 271H is provided at the position closest to the dispensing device 200, the screw member can be preferably removed from the hole 271H outside the first guide passage forming portion 202. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the screw member that has fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202 from being mixed into the payout device 200.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, when a screw member falls into the first guide passage forming portion 202 from the ball tank forming portion 201 or the uncovered region 350, the game ball is formed in the ball tank forming portion 201 or the uncovered region 350. The screw members are often located at the upper part of the game ball because the screws are stacked one above the other, but the hole 271H is arranged on the downstream side of the straightening vane 338 of the cover portion 334, that is, Since the game ball is arranged at a position where it is rectified in one upper and lower stages, the screw member easily falls into the hole 271H. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the screw member that has fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202 from being mixed into the payout device 200.

Further, since at least some of the holes 271B to 271D among the plurality of holes 271B to 271H are provided at positions corresponding to the uncovered region 350 in the first guide passage forming portion 202, the screw member is not covered. Even if it is mixed from the region 350 into the first guide passage forming portion 202, it can be dropped from the holes 271B to 271D to the outside of the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Further, at least some of the holes 271B to 271H among the plurality of holes 271B to 271H are provided on the payout device 200 side of the uncovered region 350 in the first guide passage forming portion 202, as described above. Even when the game ball that has fallen from the uncovered area 350 to the first guide passage forming portion 202 does not reach the holes 271B to 271D, it approaches downward while moving along with the flow of the game ball and falls from the holes 271E to 271H. Since the probability of this is high, it is possible to prevent the screw member that has fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202 from being mixed into the payout device 200.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 (C), 23 (A), (B), and 24, the screw members N3 to N6 that have moved toward the first guide passage forming portion 202 are referred to the first guide passage forming portion. The recesses 280, 290, 214, 242, and 243 as special retention portions that can be retained before reaching 202 are below the screw members N3 to N6 attached to the mounting holes H3 to H6 as the attachment portions. The screw members N3 to N6, which are provided in the above and are separated from the mounting holes H3 to H6 but do not stay in the recesses 280, 290, 214, 242 and 243, can be moved toward the cover portions 314, 324 and 334. It is possible to prevent the screw members N3 to N6 detached from the mounting holes H3 to H6 from falling into the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Further, since the depths of the recesses 280, 290, 214, 242, and 243 are the depths at which a part of the screw members N3 to N6 protrudes when the screw members N3 to N6 are accommodated, the recesses 280, 290, The screw members N3 to N6 staying in 214, 242, and 243 can be easily taken out.

Further, the recesses 280, 290, 214, 242, 243, the above-mentioned elongated holes 316A to 316C, the recessed grooves 326A to 326C, and the recess 336 restrict the falling screw member from falling into the first guide passage forming portion 202. Not only (or obstructing), but also because it is a retention portion that can be retained outside the first guide passage forming portion 202, a clerk of a game hall or the like finds a screw member when performing an inspection or the like. Since it becomes possible to identify which screw member has come off, it becomes easy to take measures against mixing of the screw member into the dispensing device 200.

Further, in the ball stopping member 340 as the specific portion, the rotating portion 341 is located in the upright position, the front wall portion 341A deviates upward from the slit 344, and the game ball of the first guide passage forming portion 202 is guided to the second guide. In the first state where the passage forming portion 204 can flow down, the rotating portion 341 is located at the tilted position, the front wall portion 341A is inserted into the slit 344 and can come into contact with the game ball, and the first guide passage forming portion 202 It is possible to change to the second state in which the game ball cannot flow down (or is difficult to flow down) to the second guide passage forming portion 204, and the first state is when the ball stop member 340 is in the second state. Since the screw member is more likely to stay than in the above case, it is possible to prevent the screw member that has fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202 from being mixed into the payout device 200.

More specifically, as described above, the ball stop member 340 is set to the second state when the game balls in the first guide passage and the second guide passage are taken out, that is, the clerk of the game hall or the like is a pachinko gaming machine. While the inspection and maintenance work of 1 is performed, the ball stopper 340 is set to the first state when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the operating state, that is, when the clerk of the game hall cannot monitor it. Therefore, it is possible to preferably prevent the screw member from being mixed in the first guide passage forming portion 202 in such a state.

Further, the ball tank forming portion 201 is attached to the gaming machine frame 3 at a plurality of places by screw members N11 to N14 having a flange portion F as a locking portion, and the ball tank forming portion 201 and the first guide passage forming portion 202 are attached. The screw members N11 to N14 for attaching the above to the gaming machine frame 3 fall out of the first guiding passage forming portion 202 even if they are separated from the gaming machine frame 3, so that the first guiding passage forming portion 202 and the ball It is attached at a position below the upper end edge of the standing wall portion 203B of the tank forming portion 201. Therefore, since the screw members N11 to N14 for mounting the ball tank forming portion 201 are easily loosened due to vibration and the weight of the gaming ball, they are hard to come off from the gaming machine frame 3 as a flanged screw member, while the ball tank forming portion 201 and the ball tank forming portion 201 and Even if the screw members N11 to N14 that attach the first guide passage forming portion 202 are removed, they fall outside the first guide passage forming portion 202, so that the screw member that has fallen into the first guide passage forming portion 202 is a payout device 200. It can be prevented from being mixed in.

Further, among a plurality of screw members for attaching the ball tank forming portion 201 and the first guide passage forming portion 202 to the gaming machine frame 3, a predetermined screw member (for example, the screw member N12) near the peripheral edge portion of the pachinko gaming machine 1 ) Is also used as a screw member for attaching the ground wire (for example, the ground wire 226), so that the screw member (number of parts) can be reduced. It is possible to prevent the screw member from being mixed into the payout device 200. Instead of the ground wire, it may also be used as a screw member for attaching a predetermined member other than the ball tank forming portion 201 and the first guide passage forming portion 202.

Further, the screw members N11 to N14 for attaching the ball tank forming portion 201 to the gaming machine frame 3 are attached to the metal plate 222 for reinforcing the gaming machine frame 3, so that the ball tank forming portion 201 is attached. Since 201 can be firmly attached and vibration is less likely to occur, loosening of the screw member can be suitably suppressed.

Further, the screw members N3 to N6 attached to the upper position of the first guide passage forming portion 202 in the gaming machine frame 3 are screw members having no flange portion F and having a small diameter of the head NH. Even if it falls into the first guide passage forming portion 202, it can be easily dropped from the holes 271A to 271H, so that it is possible to prevent the screw member from being mixed in the dispensing device 200.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 19B and 27, a screw member that has fallen is placed rearward in a region below the first guide passage forming portion 202 in the game board 2 that can be attached to and detached from the gaming machine frame 3. Alternatively, the cover body 220 is provided with an inclined surface (for example, the upper wall portion 220H of the cover body 220) that can flow down to the payout device 200 side with a gap from the first guide passage forming portion 202. It is possible to prevent the screw member that has fallen on the upper wall portion 220H from bouncing and being mixed into the first guide passage forming portion 202 again.

Further, although not particularly shown, the substrate cases 11A, 12A, 37A, and 91A are provided so as not to protrude rearward from the rear wall portion of the cover body 220, and fall onto the upper wall portion 220H of the cover body 220. By guiding the screw member to flow backward or toward the payout device 200 side, the screw member that has fallen on the upper wall portion 220H is prevented from falling into the substrate cases 11A, 12A, 37A, 91A arranged below. Can be prevented.

Further, the cover body 220 is generated from these drive sources by being provided so as to cover the image display device 5 provided on the back side of the game board 2, the effect device having a movable body, and the effect control board 12. Although a plurality of heat radiating holes 220B for releasing heat are formed on the upper part of the rear wall portion (see FIG. 6), these heat radiating holes 220B have at least the head even if the male screw portion NS of the screw member can be inserted. It is preferable that the size is such that NH cannot be inserted. Further, since there is a high possibility that the screw member falls from the upper holes 270A, 270B, 271A to 271H in the upper wall portion 220H arranged directly below the first guide passage forming portion 202, the heat radiating hole 220B is provided. It is preferable that the upper wall portion 220H is formed at a position that does not correspond to the holes 270A, 270B, 271A to 271H, or is formed at a portion other than the upper wall portion 220H (for example, a rear wall portion). By doing so, it is possible to prevent the dropped screw member from falling into the cover body 220 and adversely affecting the image display device 5, the effect device having a movable body, the effect control board 12, and the like.

(Modification example 1)
Next, a modification 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 29. 29A and 29B are a schematic rear view showing a cover portion as a modified example, and FIG. 29 is a schematic rear view showing a state in which cables are wired so as to intersect the cover portion.

When connecting the game control microcomputer and electronic components such as input circuits and output circuits separated in the lateral direction via a data bus, first, the terminals of the game control microcomputer extend in the lateral direction. It is connected to the data bus on the surface, branches into a wiring pattern on the mounting surface side that extends vertically toward the electronic component through a through hole at the position where the electronic component is mounted, and is connected to the electronic component. Therefore, it is not necessary to bypass the wiring pattern branched from the data bus, and the game control microcomputer and the electronic components separated in the lateral direction can be efficiently connected. Further, since the wiring pattern constituting the data bus is formed on the solder surface on which the electronic components are not mounted, it is not easily affected by the noise from the electronic components on the data bus, and the data bus and the electronic components are through. Since they are connected by a wiring pattern branched to the mounting surface side through the hole, the wiring pattern on the mounting surface side is shortened, and the influence of noise from electronic components during this period is not easily affected.

As shown in FIG. 30-5, the wiring patterns extending in the lateral direction constituting the data bus are not formed in a straight line, but are divided into a plurality of wiring patterns extending in the lateral direction. The length of each divided wiring pattern (L1 to L8) is an antenna whose resonance is maximized according to the bus clock (frequency used when transmitting data on the data bus) when transmitting data on the data bus. It is formed shorter than the length (λ (bus clock) / 2). Therefore, the wiring pattern constituting the data bus has an antenna length corresponding to the bus clock, and it is possible to prevent unintended radio waves from being emitted due to resonance. Furthermore, even if the length is halved of the antenna length corresponding to the bus clock, it may be reflected on the surface of the substrate and strong resonance may occur. Therefore, the length of each divided wiring pattern (L1 to L8) are formed to have a length that is not 1/2 of the antenna length at which resonance is maximized according to the bus clock, and strong resonance occurs due to reflection on the surface of the substrate. It is also prevented from emitting radio waves.

Further, the bus clock differs depending on the game control microcomputer and the oscillator to be mounted, but the lengths (L1 to L8) of each divided wiring pattern depend on the bus clock which is the maximum frequency expected among them. It is formed so as to be shorter than the antenna length at which the resonance is maximized, and not to be half the antenna length at which the resonance is maximized according to the bus clock at the maximum frequency. Therefore, even when data is transmitted with a bus clock lower than the expected maximum frequency, it is possible to prevent unintended radio waves from being generated.

As shown in FIG. 30-5, the plurality of lateral wiring patterns constituting the data bus are diagonally right or diagonally left, that is, the direction of the plurality of lateral wiring patterns. They are connected across wiring patterns that extend in different directions. Further, the wiring pattern in the horizontal direction and the wiring pattern in the diagonally right direction or the diagonally left direction, which are divided into a plurality of parts, are connected by being bent at an obtuse angle. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unintended radio waves from being emitted from the bent portion of the wiring pattern.

Further, as shown in FIG. 30-5, it is mounted through a through hole (A to F shown in FIGS. 30-5) provided on the diagonal wiring pattern connecting the plurality of lateral wiring patterns. It is designed to branch into a wiring pattern on the surface side (wiring pattern connected to A to F shown in FIGS. 30-6), and is a diagonal wiring pattern that connects a plurality of horizontal wiring patterns divided into each other. The wiring patterns that make up the data bus are branched using.

In the game control board according to the first embodiment, in order to make the length of the horizontal wiring pattern shorter than the antenna length at which the resonance is maximized, the horizontal wiring pattern is divided into a plurality of wiring patterns, and a plurality of wiring patterns are divided into a plurality of wiring patterns. The horizontal wiring patterns divided into the above are connected by the diagonal wiring patterns formed on the same solder surface, but the plurality of horizontal wiring patterns are formed on the mounting surface side. As a configuration in which horizontal wiring patterns are connected by a separate wiring pattern, that is, horizontal wiring patterns are alternately formed on a solder surface and a mounting surface so that the length of the horizontal wiring pattern is shorter than the antenna length at which resonance is maximized. Is also good. In such a configuration, it is preferable to branch at a position where the horizontal wiring pattern switches from the solder surface or the mounting surface to the other surface. With such a configuration, the wiring pattern after branching can be bypassed. , It is possible to branch the wiring patterns constituting the data bus without intersecting on the same plane.

Further, since the first ground region and the second ground region are formed on the opposite sides of the game control board, even if a potential difference temporarily occurs, they are prevented from interfering with each other.

Further, as shown in FIG. 30-9, since a capacitor is provided between the first ground region and the second ground region, the capacitor is used between the first ground region and the second ground region.

Similar to Examples 1 and 2, the game control board has a configuration in which electronic components are mounted on one surface, electronic components are not mounted on the other surface, and terminals included in the electronic components are soldered. The game control board in the third embodiment is characterized by the structure of the electronic component and the through hole to be mounted, and here, the structure of the electronic component and the through hole will be described.

30-23 are perspective views showing the structure of the specific electronic component mounted on the game control board in the third embodiment, FIG. 30-23 is a perspective view from above of the specific electronic component, and FIG. 30B is a perspective view of the specific electronic component. , It is a perspective view from below of a specific electronic component.

The specific electronic component is a relatively large electronic component such as a key switch, and as shown in FIGS. 30-23 (A) and 30-23 (B), the specific electronic component is fixed to the substrate at the bottom of the specific electronic component.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
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 normal map 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 is opened. 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 referred to as a number-cutting (time-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probability change state, which is advantageous for the player, 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 (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, the time saving state is also called the low accuracy high base state, the probability variation state is called the high accuracy high base state, and the normal state is also called the low accuracy low base 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.
(Progress of production, etc.)

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 aligned and displayed as a stop, 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", a fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example," "is a predetermined small hit combination as a display result of 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, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". 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).

(A detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering) is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, the passage or approach of the game ball is detected.

The reset signal, power cutoff signal, and clear signal from the power supply board 17 are taken into the switch circuit 110 and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The reset signal is an operation stop signal for putting a control circuit such as a game control microcomputer 100 into an operation stop state, and can be output by using any of a power supply monitoring circuit, a watchdog timer built-in IC, and a system reset IC. All you need is. The power off signal is turned off when the predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and is turned on when the period during which the predetermined power supply voltage is below the predetermined value continues for the power interruption reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on in response to, for example, a pressing operation on the clear switch provided on the power supply board 17.

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

A display monitor 29, a display changeover switch 31, a setting key 51, a setting changeover switch 52, and a door opening sensor 90 are connected to the main board 11. The door opening sensor 90 detects the opening of the gaming machine frame 3 including the glass door frame 3a.

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

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

The effect control board 12 is equipped with an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125.

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

The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on the detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal output when an operation by the player is detected and an appropriate signal indicating the operation content). It may also instruct the control unit 123.

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

The display control unit 123 supplies the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120, thereby causing the image display device 5 to display the effect image. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the output sound) to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Or, a lamp signal (a signal for designating a lamp lighting / extinguishing mode) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body 32.

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

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

The effect control CPU 120 executes audio output, lamp lighting / extinguishing control (sound designation signal, lamp signal supply, etc.), and movable body 32 control (signal supply for operating the movable body 32, etc.). You may do so.

The random number circuit 124 updatablely counts numerical data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used to execute various effects. The effect random number may be one that is updated (updated by software) when the effect control CPU 120 executes a predetermined computer program.

The I / O 125 mounted on the effect control board 12 is for transmitting various signals (video signal, sound designation signal, lamp signal) and an input port for taking in the effect control command transmitted from, for example, the main board 11. It is configured to include the output port of.

A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

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

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main 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. 34 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 34, 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 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; Yes), 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; No), 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, or 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 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 is on, the step is performed together with the initialization process in step S6. The setting change process of S7 is executed and the setting change state can be controlled. If the clear switch 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. If the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is off or the setting key 51 is off when the power supply is started, the initialization process of step S6 is executed if the clear switch is on. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery process of step S4 is executed, but it is 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, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 35. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 35 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, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of times the jackpot has occurred) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information such as the number of times of winning and the 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. 36 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 35 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 memories, 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 memories, the read-ahead judgment, etc. 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. 34 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 set 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. 37 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table. FIG. 37 (A) 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. 37 (B) 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 probability of being determined to be controlled to the small hit game state 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 irrespective of 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 of, 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 of, 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. 38. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 38 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; No), 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; Yes), 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 process 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. Further, regarding the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control command or the like 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. 39 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 38 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 39, 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, and setting 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. , Driving the movable body 32, outputting voice and sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting the command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13, and commanding the lamp control board 14 (illumination signal). Various effect controls are executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED according to the output. 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 or the like 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 an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to, for example, 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 or the like 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 big hit middle effect processing, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit 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 or the like 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.

Hereinafter, in the feature unit 135SG, the hold display and the active display may be collectively referred to as a specific display.

FIG. 40-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 135SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte structure, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is set to "0". The command form shown in FIG. 40-4 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 40-4 (A), the command 8001H is the first variable display start command for designating the start of the variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. .. The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the content of instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data is set according to the variation pattern to be specified.

The command 8CXXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 40-4 (B), it is determined whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing", "big hit", or "small hit". Different EXT data are set according to the result (pre-determined result) and the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is to be used when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 40-4 (B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result designation command indicating a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “missing”. .. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit B" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C". The command 8C04H is the fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot". The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying the predetermined result that the variable display result is a "small hit".

The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating the change stop (confirmation) of the decorative symbol in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a game state designation command for designating the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to, for example, the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, the command 9500H is used as the first game state specification command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is executed by the time saving control. On the other hand, it is a second game state specification command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, time saving state) in which probability change control is not performed. Further, the command 9502H is set as the third game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time saving no probability change state) in which the time saving control is performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is set as the time saving control and probability change. This is the fourth game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high accuracy high base state, time reduction probability change state) in which control is performed together.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") for designating the display of an effect image indicating the start of a big hit game or a small hit game. The command A1XXH is a notification command during the opening of the big winning opening that notifies that the big winning opening is in the open state in the big hit game state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the big winning opening that notifies that it is a period during which the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big hit game state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit game or the small hit.

In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determination result and the jackpot type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result specification command. .. Alternatively, in the hit start designation command or the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result specification command. .. In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, different EXT data are set according to the number of round executions (for example, "1" to "10") in the big hit state described later, for example. ..

The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) is generated. This is a first start opening winning designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A has been satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated. , The second start opening winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B has been satisfied.

The command C1XXH is a first hold storage number notification command for notifying the first special figure hold storage number in order to make it possible to specify the special figure hold storage number. The command C2XXH is a second hold storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure hold storage number in order to make it possible to specify the special figure hold storage number. The first hold memory number notification command is, for example, when the first start opening prize designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second hold memory number notification command is, for example, when the second start opening prize designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied. , Is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In addition, the first hold storage number notification command and the second hold storage number notification command are used in the special figure game when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the hold storage number decreases). It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution.

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

The command C4XXXH and the command C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result designation commands) indicating the contents of the winning determination result. Of these, the command C4XXH is a symbol designation command indicating whether or not the variable display result is a "big hit", a judgment result of the big hit type (probability change or non-probability change), and a small hit as the judgment result at the time of winning. .. Further, the command C6XXH is a variation category command indicating a determination result of whether the random value for determining the variation pattern is a variation pattern of "non-reach", "super reach", or "other" as the determination result at the time of winning. Is.

The commands shown in FIG. 40-4 (A) are examples, and some of these commands may not be provided, or different commands may be used in place of these commands. You may add a command different from the command in. For example, a prize ball number notification command for making it possible to specify the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of a game ball at each winning opening, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41. A passage notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the probability change control or the time reduction control is executed, or the like may be provided.

FIG. 40-5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 40-5, in the feature unit 135SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random value MR4 for determining the display result of the general map is controlled so as to be countable. In addition, a random number value other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data indicating a part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154 shown in FIG. 40-10, and updates various numerical data by software to update the random number value. Numerical data indicating a part of MR1 to MR4 may be counted.

The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game as a "big hit" to the big hit game state, for example. It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type has any of "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C", and "non-probability variation jackpot" when the variable display result is "big hit". It is a random value used to determine, for example, a value in the range of "1" to "100".

The random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern is a random value used to determine the fluctuation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to any of a plurality of types prepared in advance, and is, for example, "1" to "1" to "". It takes a value in the range of 997.

The random number value MR4 for determining the normal figure display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal figure game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per normal figure" or "out of normal figure". It is a random number value to be obtained, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

FIG. 40-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 135SG uses a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The first special figure and the second special figure may use individual special figure display result determination tables.

The special figure display result determination table 1 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. This is the referenced table.

In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 135SG, depending on whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table 1, the table data indicating the judgment value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment determines whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit game state. It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result determination table 1 in the feature unit 135SG, when the game state is the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values are obtained than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). It is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probability change state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit game state in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Then, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state is higher than the probability of being determined (about 1/300 in the main feature unit 135SG) (about 1 in the main feature unit 135SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table 1, it is determined that when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability change state (high probability state), it is controlled to the jackpot game state as compared with the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the probability of the game is high.

Further, FIG. 40-6 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 2 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is determined based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. The table referenced for.

In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the feature unit 135SG, regardless of whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit".

In the special figure display result determination table 2, whether or not the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is controlled to the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the decision result. In the special figure display result judgment table 2 in the feature unit 135SG, the number of judgment values assigned to the "small hit" is different between the case of the special figure game of the first special figure and the case of the second special figure. There is. Specifically, in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure, the judgment value is assigned to "small hit", but in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, it is assigned to "small hit". Judgment value is not assigned. Therefore, as will be described later, the variable display of the second special figure is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special figure, and the second start winning is formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by executing the time saving control. In the high base state where a prize is given to the mouth and a lot of variable display of the second special figure is executed, "small hit" is almost not generated, and the second start formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. In a high base state in which a game ball easily enters the winning opening, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a small hit in which a large number of game balls cannot be obtained and to prevent the game interest from being deteriorated.

FIG. 40-7 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. When the jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 135SG is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit", any of a plurality of jackpot types can be selected based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type. It is a table referenced to determine the crab. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "probability variation jackpot B" and "probability variation jackpot C".

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 135SG will be described with reference to FIG. 40-7 (B). In the feature unit 135SG, the jackpot type includes high accuracy control and time saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state. "Probability change jackpot A" and "probability change jackpot B" that are executed and shift to the high-accuracy high-base state, and the high-accuracy low-base state in which the high-accuracy control is executed but the time saving control is not executed after the end of the jackpot game state. A "probability variation jackpot C" that shifts and a "non-probability variation jackpot" that shifts to a low probability high base state by executing only the time saving control after the end of the jackpot game state are set.

The jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, the jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot B" is a normally open jackpot that is repeatedly executed five times (so-called 5 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state that is advantageous to the player. .. The big hit game state by the "probability change big hit C" is a normal open big hit in which the land that changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called 2 rounds). .. In addition, the jackpot game state by "probability variation jackpot C" and "non-probability variation jackpot" is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state which is advantageous for the player. It is usually an open jackpot. Therefore, "Probability change jackpot A" is called 10 rounds (10R) probability variation jackpot, "Probability variation jackpot B" is called 5 rounds (5R) probability variation jackpot, and "Probability variation jackpot C" is called 2 rounds (2R) probability variation jackpot. It may be called.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the feature unit 135SG changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state which is advantageous for the player twice, and the opening time is 0.1 seconds. It has become. After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probability variation jackpot are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurs again is a probability variation big hit, the high probability control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the big hit game state, so that the big hit game state continuously occurs without going through the normal state. , So-called consecutive villa state.

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "non-probability change big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature unit 135SG), or the special figure of the predetermined number of times. It ends when the game is in a big hit game state before the game is executed.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 40-7 (A), "probability variable jackpot A" and "probability variable jackpot A" are set according to whether the variablely displayed special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. The allocation of judgment values for the jackpot types of "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C", and "non-probability variation jackpot" is different. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the determination value in the predetermined range (value in the range of "81" to "100") is "probability change jackpot B" or "probability change" with a small number of rounds. While assigned to the jackpot type of "big hit C", if the special figure that is variably displayed is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. When the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied. Therefore, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined to control the jackpot type to the normal open jackpot state or the high-speed open jackpot state with a small number of rounds by setting the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, in the gaming state in which the game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of the big hit state in which the number of winning balls obtained is small. It is possible to prevent the game interest from deteriorating.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 40-7 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "non-probability variation" is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Since it is the same regardless of whether it exists, the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a probabilistic jackpot are the same regardless of whether it is a special figure game of the first special figure or a second special figure. It is said that.

Therefore, as described above, the allocation of the judgment values for the "probability variation jackpot B" and the "probability variation jackpot C" differs depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Therefore, the allocation of the judgment value to the "probability change jackpot A" also differs depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and for the "probability change jackpot A" having a large number of rounds, the second It is set so that the case of the special figure game of the special figure is easier to determine than the case of the special figure game of the first special figure.

Even in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special figure game of the first special figure is the big hit of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". It may be assigned to a type. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, a smaller judgment value than in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". May be assigned. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to the common table data regardless of whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

FIG. 40-8 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG. In the feature unit 135SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is variable according to each of the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach". A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "out of reach" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "out of reach variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the missed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “off”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed. In this feature unit 135SG, as the normal reach fluctuation pattern, a common reach effect of a normal reach is produced by a normal reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is not executed and a normal reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is executed once. Is to be executed. Further, as the super reach variation pattern, there are a super reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is executed twice and a super reach variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect described later is executed three times, and a common super reach reach. The production is to be executed. That is, the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which only one type of reach effect is provided for each of the normal reach reach effect and the super reach reach effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, as a reach effect of normal reach or a reach effect of super reach, a plurality of reach effects may be provided.

The fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG includes a fluctuation pattern of a special hit corresponding to a case where the variable display result is "small hit" or the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit C". PC1-1) is also included.

As shown in FIG. 40-8, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 135SG is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern.

Further, the normal reach variation pattern in the feature unit 135SG includes a variation pattern that does not execute the pseudo-continuous effect that temporarily stops and re-variably displays the decorative symbol during the variable display, and a pseudo-continuous effect that executes the pseudo-continuous effect once during the variable display. There is a fluctuation pattern. In the normal reach variation pattern, the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed during the variable display is set to have a shorter special figure variation time than the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display.

Further, the super reach variation pattern in the feature unit 135SG includes a variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed twice during the variable display and a variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display. In the super reach variation pattern, the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed twice during the variable display is set to have a shorter special figure variation time than the variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display. ..

In addition, in this feature unit 135SG, since the jackpot expectation that the variable display result becomes "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach is set to be high, the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern are set. The longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

That is, with respect to the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG, the higher the number of pseudo-continuous effects executed during the variable display, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined first, such as a non-reach type, a normal reach type, a super reach type, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided, and the random values for determining the variation pattern type are used. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

FIG. 40-9 is an explanatory diagram of a method of determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 135SG. In this feature unit 135SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 40-9, when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is used using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. PB1-1 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1-time jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach pseudo-continuous production 2 times jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-4 (super) It is decided from the reach pseudo-continuous production 3 times jackpot fluctuation pattern). If the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot variation pattern), PB1 using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. -2 (Fluctuation pattern of 1 big hit of normal reach pseudo-continuous production), PB1-3 (Variation pattern of 2 big hits of normal reach pseudo-continuous production), PB1-4 (Variation pattern of 3 big hits of normal reach pseudo-continuous production) ..

As shown in FIG. 40-9, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B have different determination ratios for PB1-1 to PB1-4. Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 45%, and PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 20%. PB1-4 is determined at a rate of 5%. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table B, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 20%, PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 30%, and PB1- 4 is determined at a rate of 45%. That is, in the present feature unit 135SG, when the variable display result is a probability variation jackpot, the variation pattern of the super reach is determined at a higher rate than when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot. Furthermore, paying attention to the number of executions of the pseudo-continuous effect, when the variable display result is a probabilistic jackpot, more pseudo-continuous effects are more likely to be executed during the variable display than when the variable display result is a non-probable variable jackpot. There is. Therefore, in the feature unit 135SG, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display and the number of executions of the pseudo-continuous production.

If the variable display result is a small hit, a special hit variation pattern determination table is selected, and the variation pattern is determined to be PC1-1 (special hit variation pattern) using the special hit variation pattern determination table. To do.

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern determination table A is selected. Using the deviation pattern determination table A, the fluctuation patterns are set to PA1-1 (non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-range fluctuation pattern), and PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production one-time out-of-range fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are set to PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 loss fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are set to PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 loss fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 4, the deviation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C for use, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 loss fluctuation pattern). ), PA2-3 (variation pattern of two misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production), PA2-4 (variation pattern of three misses of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the time saving state (high base state), the deviation pattern determination table D is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PA1-4 using the deviation pattern determination table D. (Shortened fluctuation pattern for non-reach time reduction), PA2-1 (normal reach loss fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (normal reach pseudo-continuous production 1 time loss fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach pseudo-continuous production 2 times) It is determined from the variation pattern of the deviation) and PA2-4 (the variation pattern of the three times of super reach pseudo-continuous production).

That is, when the variable display result is "off" in the feature unit 135SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1), the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening fluctuation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4). It is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit while preventing the game from being delayed.

The RAM 102 in the feature unit 135SG is a game control data holding area 135SG150 as shown in, for example, FIG. 40-10, as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Is provided. The game control data holding area 135SG150 shown in FIG. 40-10 includes a first special figure holding storage unit 135SG151A, a second special figure holding storage unit 135SG151B, a normal drawing holding storage unit 135SG151C, and a game control flag setting unit 135SG152. , The game control timer setting unit 135SG153, the game control counter setting unit 135SG154, and the game control buffer setting unit 135SG155 are provided.

The first special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151A is a special feature in which the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and a starting winning (first starting winning) is generated, but it has not been started yet. The reserved data of the figure game (the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151A associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the first starting winning opening, and sets the first starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. Hold data such as a random number value MR1 for determining a special figure display result, a random number value MR2 for determining a jackpot type, and a random number value MR3 for determining a fluctuation pattern extracted from a random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the establishment. As a result, the data is stored until the number of stored data reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4"). The hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit 135SG151A in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game. Based on the result), it becomes the pending information that makes it possible to judge whether or not it will be a big hit.

The second special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151B has not been started yet, although the game ball has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B and the starting winning (second starting winning) has occurred. The reserved data of the special figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151B associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the second starting winning opening with the holding number, and sets the second starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball.

In the feature unit 135SG, the data constituting the start winning command buffer 135SG194A as shown in FIG. 40-11 (B) is stored in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting unit 135SG194. The command buffer 135SG194A received at the time of starting winning is stored in the storage area (buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the first special figure reserved storage. Corresponding area) is provided. Further, the start winning command buffer 135SG194A has a storage area (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the second special figure reserved storage. The area corresponding to "" is provided. When there is a start prize to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command), the symbol designation command, and the variable category designation A set of four commands, a command and a hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command), is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer 135SG194A have an area for storing these start opening prize designation commands and a symbol designation command. Indicates the area to be stored, the area to store the variable category specification command, the area to store the hold storage number notification command, the area to store the hold display flag, and whether or not it is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, which will be described later. An area (entry) for storing the area for storing the flash effect target flag at the time of winning and the storage area (entry) for storing the first special figure holding storage and the second special figure holding storage separately is secured in association with the number of reserved storages. ing.

The stored contents of these storage areas (entries) are described when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. The contents (data) of the hold storage for which the start condition is satisfied are copied to the active display buffer 135SG194B shown in FIG. 40-11 (C), and the copied contents of the hold storage itself are transmitted from the start winning command buffer 135SG194A. Will be deleted. Then, the stored contents of the storage area lower than the deleted reserved storage are shifted to the higher storage area one by one.

In the active display buffer 135SG194B, as described above, when the variable display of the hold storage (buffer number "1-1" or "2-1") is started, the contents of the hold storage for which the start condition is satisfied ( Since the data) is copied, a storage area similar to that of the start winning command buffer 135SG194A is provided as shown in FIG. 40-11 (C). That is, an area for storing the start opening winning designation command, an area for storing the symbol designation command, an area for storing the variable category command, an area for storing the hold storage number notification command, and an area for storing the hold display flag. , An area for storing a winning flash effect target flag indicating whether or not the winning flash effect is targeted, which will be described later, is provided.

In this feature unit 135SG, if a start winning is generated when the variable display is not executed and the hold memory does not exist, the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category command, and the hold are based on the start win. The storage number notification command is stored in the active display buffer 135SG194B without going through the start winning command receive command buffer 135SG194A. The hold display flag is set when the effect control CPU 120 executes the read-ahead notice setting process (S161) described later.

Then, the stored contents of the active display buffer 135SG194B are cleared (deleted) in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the variable display is terminated.

The hold display flag is a flag indicating a display mode of an active display corresponding to a hold display or a variable display during execution. Although the details will be described later, in the feature unit 135SG, it is possible to suggest the ratio controlled to the big hit game state by the display mode (value of the hold display flag) of the hold display and the active display.

Next, the start winning determination process of the feature unit 135SG executed in step S101 of FIG. 36 will be described with reference to FIGS. 40-12. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting opening switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step 135SGS101a). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is in the ON state (step 135SGS101a; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 135SGS102). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154. When the first special figure hold storage number is not the upper limit value in step 135SGS102 (step 135SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 135SG155 is set to "1" (step 135SGS102; N). Step 135 SGS103).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 135SGS101a (step 135SGS101; N) or when the first special figure hold storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 135SGS102 (step 135SGS102; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is in the ON state ( Step 135 SGS101b). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is in the ON state (step 135SGS101b; Y), the second special figure hold storage number, which is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 135SGS105). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154. When the second special figure hold storage number is not the upper limit value in step 135SGS105 (step 135SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 135SG155 is set to "2" (step 135SGS105; N). Step 135 SGS106).

After executing any of the processes of step 135SGS103 and step 135SGS106, the special figure hold storage number corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the storage value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step 135SGS107). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first hold memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step 135SGS108). For example, the total hold storage count value, which is the stored value of the total hold storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 135SG154, may be updated to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step 135SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit 135SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the purpose and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (step 135SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random number value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step 135SGS110). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151A stores numerical data indicating the random numbers MR1 to MR3, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the start port buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating the random values MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 135SG151B.

The numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determines whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set as "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 135SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol and the variable display mode including the variable display time.

Following the process of step 135SGS110, the transmission setting of the start port winning designation command according to the start port buffer value is performed (step 135SGS 111). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. The setting for transmitting the first start opening prize designation command to 12 is made. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 is subjected to. Make settings to send the second start port winning designation command. The start port winning designation command set 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. 34 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

Following the process of step 135SGS111, the winning random number value determination process is executed (step 135SGS112). After that, for example, the hold storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. (Step 135 SGS113). The hold storage number notification command set 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. 35 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

After executing the process of step 135SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is "1" (step 135SGS114). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 135SGS114; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 135SGS115), and then the process of step 135SGS104 is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 135SGS114; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 135SGS116), and then the start winning is won. End the process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B simultaneously detect a valid start prize for the game ball, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be reliably completed.

FIG. 40-13 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 135SGS112 of FIG. 40-12 as the winning random number value determination process. When the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started in the feature unit 135SG, the special symbol display result (variable display result of the special symbol) is set as a "big hit" by the special symbol normal process (step S110 in FIG. 36). It is determined whether or not to control the jackpot game state. Further, in the variation pattern setting process (step S111 in FIG. 36), the determination of the variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is performed.

On the other hand, apart from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random value determination processing of step 135SGS112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). As a result, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of displaying the special symbol, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined display mode accompanied by super reach. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started, that is, whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variable display is determined. Before, it is determined that the special figure display result is a "big hit" and which category the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the variable display mode, and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 or the like determines. , As will be described later, advance notice effects such as pre-reading advance notice effects will be executed.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 40-13 (A), the CPU 103 first confirms the state of the time saving flag and the probability variation flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit 135SG152, for pachinko gaming. The current gaming state of the machine 1 is specified (step 135SGS121). The CPU 103 identifies that it is in the probability change state when the probability change flag is on, identifies that it is in the time saving state when the probability change flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probability change flag and the time saving flag are in the time saving state. When it is off, it may be specified that it is in the normal state.

Following the process of step 135SGS121, the special figure display result determination table 1 shown in FIG. 40-6 is selected and set (step 135SGS122). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 135SGS109 of FIG. 40-12 is within the predetermined jackpot determination range (step 135SGS123). In the jackpot determination range, individual determination values assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected by the process of step 135SGS122 are set, and the CPU 103 determines each determination as the random value MR1. It suffices if it can be determined whether or not there is a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by comparing the values one by one. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating a minimum value (lower limit value) and a maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment value included in the jackpot judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or maximum value of the jackpot judgment range. By comparing, it suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range. At this time, since it is determined that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number value MR1 is determined as "big hit".

When it is determined in step 135SGS123 that it is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is not achieved in the variable display (step 135SGS123; N), the special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 40-6. 2 is selected and set (step 135SGS124). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 135SGS109 of FIG. 40-12 is within the predetermined small hit determination range (step 135SGS125).

When the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is within the predetermined small hit determination range, that is, when it is determined to be a small hit in the variable display (step 135SGS125; Y), the variable display result is "small hit". The transmission setting of the sixth symbol designation command, which is the symbol designation command corresponding to the above, is executed (step 135SGS126), the variation pattern determination table for special hits is selected and set (step 135SGS127), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS138. ..

If the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 is not within the predetermined small hit judgment range, that is, if the variable display result is "missing" in the variable display, the symbol corresponding to the variable display result being "missing". The transmission setting of the first symbol designation command, which is a designated command, is executed (step 135SGS128), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is on, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step). 135SGS129). When the time saving flag is off (step 135SGS129; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set, and when the time reduction flag is on (step 135SGS129; Y), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set. Table D is selected and set (step 135SGS131). The deviation pattern determination table A is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the number of reserved storages is 2 or less. Further, the deviation pattern determination table D is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the game state is a high base state in which the time saving control is executed.

In this feature unit 135SG, in addition to the deviation pattern determination table A and the deviation variation pattern determination table D, the deviation pattern determination table B used when the number of reserved storages is three , The deviation pattern determination table C used when the number of reserved storages is 4, is prepared in advance, but as shown in FIG. 40-9, these are out of the deviation pattern determination tables A to C. In the deviation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values from 0 to 599 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. In the fluctuation pattern judgment table B, 700 judgment values from 0 to 699 are assigned to the non-reach fluctuation patterns within the range that the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern judgment can take, and the fluctuation pattern judgment table for deviation is assigned. In C, 800 determination values from 0 to 799 are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern within the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. On the other hand, in the deviation pattern determination tables A to C, 97 determination values from 901 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach within the range that the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination can take. ..

Therefore, by determining the variation pattern using the deviation pattern determination table A in step 135SGS126, the determination of non-reach and super reach is always performed even if the number of reserved memories changes after the determination. Therefore, in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern determination table A for loss is used for determination.

Further, when it is determined in step 135SGS123 that the jackpot is within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is in the variable display (step 135SGS123; Y), as shown in FIG. 40-13 (A). , The jackpot type is determined based on the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type (step 135SGS132). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the table data that composes the jackpot type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

In addition, a symbol designation command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot A, a third symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot B, and a probability variation jackpot C. Executes the transmission setting of the 4th symbol designation command, and if it is a non-variable jackpot, the transmission setting of the 5th symbol designation command (step 135SGS133), and then determines whether or not the determined jackpot type is a non-variable jackpot. (Step 135 SGS134). When the determined jackpot type is a non-probability variation jackpot (step 135SGS134; Y), the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A is selected and set as a table for determining the jackpot fluctuation pattern (step 135SGS135), and the step Proceed to 135SGS138.

If the determined jackpot type is a probability variation jackpot (step 135SGS134; N), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected and set (step 135SGS136), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS138.

After executing any of the processes of step 135SGS127, step 135SGS130, step 135SGS131, step 135SGS135, and step 135SGS136, a numerical value indicating each fluctuation pattern judgment table set in each of these steps and a random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment. Using the data, the variation category according to the range of the determination values including the random number MR3 is determined (step 135SGS138). In this feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIG. 40-13 (B), when at least the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode is "non-reach" in common regardless of the total number of reserved storages. A variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", a variable category that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach), and a variable category of "other" that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" are provided. It suffices if it can be determined whether or not the variable category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, after setting for transmitting the variable category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 135SGS138 to the effect control board 12 (step 135SGS139), the winning random number value determination process is ended.

FIG. 40-14 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S75 of FIG. 38 as the command analysis process. In the command analysis process shown in FIGS. 40-14, the effect control CPU 120 first receives from the main board 11 transmitted via the relay board 15 by confirming the stored contents of the effect control command reception buffer. Determine if there is a command (step 135SGS221). At this time, if there is no received command (step 135SGS221; N), the command analysis process ends.

If there is a receive command in step 135SGS221 (step 135SGS221; Y), for example, by checking the MODE data of the receive command, it is determined whether or not the receive command is the first start opening winning designation command. (Step 135SGS222).

If the reception command is not the first start opening prize designation command in step 135SGS222 (step 135SGS222; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second start opening prize designation command (step 135SGS224).

If the reception command is not the second start opening winning designation command in step 135SGS224 (step 135SGS224; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is a symbol designation command (step 135SGS226). If the received command is not a symbol designation command in step 135SGS226 (step 135SGS226; N), it is determined whether or not the received command is a variable category command (step 135SGS227). If the receive command is not a variable category command in step 135SGS227 (step 135SGS227; N), it is determined whether the receive command is the first hold storage number notification command (step 135SGS228).

If the reception command is not the first hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS228 (step 135SGS228; N), it is determined whether or not the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command (step 135SGS230).

When the reception command is the first start opening winning designation command in step 135SGS222 (step 135SGS222; Y), or when the reception command is the second start opening winning designation command in step 135SGS224 (step 135SGS224; Y), in step 135SGS226. When the receive command is a symbol designation command (step 135SGS226; Y), when the receive command is a variable category command in step 135SGS227 (step 135SGS227; Y), the receive command is the first hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS228. In the case (135SGS228; Y), when the reception command is the second hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS230 (step 135SGS230; Y), the reception command is sent to the start winning command buffer 135SG194A shown in FIG. 40-11. It is stored at the beginning of the free area in the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS233), and the process returns to the process of step 135SGS221.

Specifically, in step 135SGS233, when the hold storage does not exist and the variable display is not being executed, the receive command is stored in the active display buffer 135SG194B, and when the hold storage exists or the variable display is being executed. , The reception command may be stored at the beginning of the free area in the reception command buffer 135SG194A at the time of starting winning.

When the hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command) is received together with the variable display start command (first variable display start command or second variable display start command) , The hold storage number notification command may not be stored in the reception command buffer 135SG194A at the time of starting winning. That is, it suffices that the effect control commands received in response to the occurrence of the start winning can be sequentially stored from the beginning of the free area in the start winning command buffer 135SG194A.

If the reception command is not the second hold storage number notification command in step 135SGS230 (step 135SGS230; N), settings are made according to other reception commands (step 135SGS234), and the process returns to step 135SGS221.

In the command analysis process of the feature unit 135SG, if the received command is any of the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category command, and the hold storage number notification command, the received command is used when the start prize is won. Although the form of sequentially storing from the beginning of the free area of the reception command buffer 135SG194A has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the reception command is the first start opening winning designation command, the hold storage number notification command is used. If a timer for waiting for reception is set and the hold storage number notification command is not received before the timer goes out, the entry hold storage that has not received the hold storage number notification command will be described later. It may be set out of the target of the reading notice effect.

Next, the effect control process processing in the feature unit 135SG will be described. As shown in FIGS. 40-15, in the effect control process process, the effect control CPU 120 executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161), and then the active display area 135SG005A, the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, and the second hold. The specific display display start effect execution process (step 135SGS162) for executing the specific display display start effect is executed as the display start animation of the hold display in the storage display area 135SG005U and the display start animation of the active display in the active display area 135SG005A. Further, after the specific display display start effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 performs the winning flash effect execution process (step 135SGS163) for executing the winning flash effect, and after the above-mentioned specific display display start effect is completed. To execute a specific display rotation display effect (see FIGS. 40-19 (B-1) to 40-19 (B-4)) as a rotation animation according to the value of the display mode flag of the hold display or the active display. When the execution of the hold display notice effect is determined as the pre-reading notice in the specific display rotation display effect execution process (step 135SGS164) and the feature unit 135SG, the variable display based on the hold memory that is the target of the hold display notice effect is displayed. Start port lamp light emission effect execution process for executing the start port lamp light emission effect for emitting the start port lamp 135SG009S in a color corresponding to the display mode of the hold display / active display based on the hold memory (step 135SG165). Is executed, and any of the processes of steps S170 to S177 is executed.

The specific display rotation display effect execution process in the feature unit 135SG is a process of shifting each hold display to the next display position based on the start of the variable display and displaying it as a rotation animation, and the hold display is active as an active display. It also includes a process of shifting to the display area 135SG005A and displaying it as a rotation animation.

FIG. 40-16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 161 of FIG. 40-15 as the read-ahead notice setting process. In the read-ahead notice setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 135SG194A or the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS240), and determines whether or not there is an entry in which the display mode flag is not set. Determine (step 135SGS241). If there is no entry for which the display mode flag is not set (step 135SGS241; N), the read-ahead notice setting process is completed, and if there is an entry for which the display mode flag is not set (step 135SGS241; Y), the display is already displayed. It is determined whether or not there is an entry in which the aspect flag is set to "1" or "2", that is, whether or not the hold display notice effect as the look-ahead notice effect is already being executed (step 135SGS242). ..

When there is no entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2" (step 135SGS242; N), it is further determined whether or not the symbol designation command of the entry indicates a small hit (step). 135SGS243). When the symbol designation command of the entry does not indicate a small hit (step 135SGS243; N), the variable display result is specified from the symbol designation command of the entry (step 135SGS244a), and the variable category from the variable category command of the entry. (Step 135SGS244b). Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hold display notice effect is executed and the display pattern based on the specified variable display result and variable category (step 135SGS245).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40-17, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is non-reach, the hold display notice effect is not executed (hold display or active display) at a rate of 95%. The display mode of is determined to be white display pattern α), and the hold display notice effect is determined to be executed in the display pattern β (display mode of hold display or active display is blue) at a rate of 5%, and 0%. It is decided to execute the hold display notice effect with the display pattern γ (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is red) at the ratio of.

In addition, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is other (normal reach), the display pattern α in which the hold display notice effect is not executed (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is white) at a rate of 80%. ), And the hold display notice effect is executed with the display pattern β (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is blue) at a rate of 20%, and the hold display notice effect is displayed at a rate of 0%. Decide to execute with γ (display mode of hold display or active display is red).

In addition, when the variable display result is out of order and the variable category is super reach, the hold display notice effect is not executed (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is white display pattern α) at a rate of 65%. It is decided to execute the hold display notice effect in the display pattern β (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is blue) at a rate of 25%, and the hold display notice effect is displayed in the display pattern γ (blue) at a rate of 10%. Decide to execute the display mode of the hold display or the active display in red).

If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the hold display notice effect (display pattern α in which the display mode of the hold display or the active display is white) is determined at a rate of 15%, and the rate is 30%. It is decided to execute the hold display notice effect in the display pattern β (the display mode of the hold display or the active display is blue), and the hold display notice effect is displayed in the display pattern γ (the display mode of the hold display or the active display) at a rate of 55%. To be executed in red).

That is, in this feature unit 135SG, when the hold display or the active display is displayed in red, the ratio of the target variable display result to the big hit (big hit expectation) is high, and the hold display or the active display is displayed in white. In this case, the rate at which the target variable display result is out of order is set to be the highest (expected jackpot according to the display color of the hold display or active display: red> blue> white).

Returning to FIG. 40-16, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the hold display advance notice effect is determined in step 135SGS245 (step 135SGS246). When the execution of the hold display notice effect is determined in step 135SGS245 (step 135SGS246; Y), a value (“1” or “2”) corresponding to the determined display pattern is set in the display mode flag of the entry (step 135SGS246; Y). Step 135SGS247), the read-ahead notice setting process is terminated.

When there is already an entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2" (step 135SGS242; Y), when the symbol designation command of the entry indicates a small hit (step 135SGS243; Y). , When it is decided not to execute the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS246; N), dig into the display mode flag of the entry. C. Set "0" corresponding to the non-execution of the display notice effect (step 135SGS248). The read-ahead notice setting process ends.

In the feature unit 135SG, a pre-reading notice effect for determining the display mode of the hold display and an effect for determining the display mode of the active display are collectively illustrated as a form that can be executed as the hold display notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the pre-reading notice effect for determining the display mode of the hold display and the effect for determining the display mode of the active display can be individually executed as different effects. Good.

FIG. 40-18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 135SGS162 of FIG. 40-15 as the specific display display start effect execution process. In the specific display display start effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not either the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is being executed (step 135SGS251). Whether or not either the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is being executed is determined by the process timer for the specific display display start effect A or the process timer for the specific display display start effect B, which will be described later. It may be determined whether or not the operation is in progress.

When the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is not being executed (step 135SGS251; N), whether or not the start prize designation command is received (whether or not the start prize designation command reception flag is set). (Step 135 SGS252). When the start prize designation command is not received (step 135SGS252; N), the specific display display start effect execution process is terminated. Further, when the start prize designation command is received (step 135SGS252; Y), the newly generated pending storage entry is specified by referring to the start prize reception command buffer 135SG194A and the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS252; Y). 263SGS273), it is determined whether or not the first special figure is on hold (step 135SGS253a). It should be noted that whether or not the first special figure is reserved may be determined by the start opening winning designation command stored in the entry.

If the entry (specified entry) is not the first special figure reserved storage (step 135SGS253a; N), the process proceeds to step 135SGS255, and if the entry is the first special figure reserved storage (step 135SGS253a; Y), the specific figure is specified. It is determined whether or not the display mode flag of the entry is 0, that is, whether or not the entry is the target of the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS254). When the display mode flag of the specified entry is 0, that is, when the entry is not the target of the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS254; Y), the process proceeds to step 135SGS255.

In the process of step 135SGS255, the effect control CPU 120 selects the process table for the specific display display start effect A according to the display position of the specific display (hold display or active display). Then, the process timer for the specific display display start effect A is started (step 135SGS256).

Further, when the display mode flag of the specified entry is not 0, that is, when the entry is the target of the hold display notice effect (step 135SGS254; N), the display position of the specific display (hold display or active display) is set. Select the corresponding process table for the specific display display start effect B (step 135SGS257). Then, the process timer for the specific display display start effect B is started (step 135SGS258).

After executing step 135SGS256 or step 135SGS258, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device according to the contents of the process data 1 of the set specific display display start effect process table (step 135SGS259), and performs the specific display display start effect execution process. finish.

Further, when the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B is being executed (step 135SGS251; Y), the effect control CPU 120 is executing the process timer for the specific display display start effect (specific display display start). The value of the process timer for the effect A or the process timer for the specific display display B is set to -1 (step 135SGS260), and the value is set to -1 for the process timer for the specific display display start effect (running specific display display start effect). Process timer) determines whether or not the timer has expired (step 135SGS261). When the process timer for the specific display display start effect during execution does not time out (step 135SGS261; N), the effect device is controlled according to the contents according to the process data of the process timer for the specific display display start effect being executed. (Step 135SGS262), the specific display display start effect execution process is terminated.

Further, when the process timer for the specific display display start effect being executed is timered out (step 135SGS261; Y), whether or not the process timer for the specific display display start effect is the last process timer for the specific display display start effect. (Step 135SGS263). When the final process timer for the specific display display start effect timers out (step 135SGS263; Y), the specific display display start effect is ended (step 135SGS267), and the specific display display start effect execution process is ended. When the process timer for the last specific display display start effect has not timed out (step 135SGS263; N), the process data is switched, the next process timer for the specific display display start effect is started, and the next specific display is displayed. The effect device is controlled (step 135SGS264, step 135SGS265, step 135SGS266) according to the contents according to the process data of the display start effect process timer, and the specific display display start effect execution process is ended.

As described above, in the feature unit 135SG, when a start prize is generated and it is decided not to execute the pre-reading notice effect (hold display notice effect) based on the start prize, or the start prize is the second. In the case of a starting prize for the starting port, as shown in FIGS. 40-19 (A), 40-19 (B), 40-19 (B-1) to 40-19 (B-4). , The appearance animation in which the hold display (active display) gradually appears from the bottom to the top is displayed as the specific display display start effect A at the position corresponding to the number of hold memories of the active display area 135SG005A or the hold storage display areas 135SG005D and 135SG005U. To.

In the feature unit 135SG, the period from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the appearance animation of the hold display (active display) as the specific display display start effect A is about 0.2 seconds. Then, the hold display (active display) after the end of the specific display display start effect A is the active display area 135SG005A or the hold storage display area 135SG005D, 135SG005U as the other hold display and the active display as the above-mentioned specific display rotation display effect. Shift to the display with rotation animation in.

In addition, when a start-up prize is generated, the execution of the pre-reading notice effect (hold display notice effect) is determined based on the start-up prize, and the start-up prize is the start-up prize to the first start port. As shown in FIGS. 40-20 (A) to 40-20 (C) and 40-20 (C-1) to 40-20 (C-4), first, as the specific display display start effect B, first In the image display device 5, an animation in which the character A appears from the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is displayed. After the character A appears from the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the variable display is executed at the timing of the start winning, or if the first special figure hold memory already exists, the character A is the first. 1 An animation that moves to the hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. At this time, the character A is displayed overlapping with a part of the active display area 135SG005A in the process of moving to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D.

Then, when the character A moves to the first reserved storage display area 135SG005D, as shown in FIGS. 40-20 (C-1) to 40-20 (C-4), the character A is based on the start winning prize. An animation that attacks (acts) on the position where the hold display is displayed is displayed. When the display of the animation is completed, an appearance animation is displayed in which the hold display gradually appears from the lower part to the upper part at the position where the character A attacks.

In the feature unit 135SG, the period from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the animation in which the character A attacks the position where the hold display of the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed as the specific display display start effect B is completed. It is about 1 second, and the period from the end of the animation to the end of the appearance animation of the hold display is about 0.2 seconds. That is, when the specific display display start effect B is executed for the hold display of the first special figure, it takes 1.2 seconds from the occurrence of the start prize to the completion of the display of the hold display based on the start prize. It takes. Then, the hold display after the end of the specific display display start effect B shifts to the display by the rotation animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D as in the other hold display and the active display as the above-mentioned specific display rotation display effect. ..

When the character A appears from the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning as the specific display display start effect B, the variable display is not executed at the timing of the start winning and the first special figure hold memory does not exist. Displays an animation in which character A moves to the active display area 135SG005A. Then, when the character A moves to the active display area 135SG005A, the active display is displayed based on the start winning prize, as in FIGS. 40-20 (C-1) to 40-20 (C-4). An animation that attacks (acts) on the active display area 135SG005A is displayed. When the display of the animation is completed, an appearance animation is displayed in which the active display gradually appears from the lower part to the upper part at the position where the character A attacks.

In the feature unit 135SG, the period from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the animation in which the character A attacks the active display area 135SG005A as the specific display display start effect B is about 0.5 seconds, and the animation The period from the end to the end of the appearance animation of the active display is about 0.2 seconds. That is, when the specific display display start effect B is executed for the active display, it takes 0.7 seconds from the occurrence of the start prize to the completion of the display of the active display based on the start prize. Then, the active display after the end of the specific display display start effect B shifts to the display by the rotation animation in the active display area 135SG005A as the above-mentioned specific display rotation display effect.

40-21 and 40-22 are flowcharts showing an example of the process executed in step 135SGS163 of FIG. 40-21 as the flash effect execution process at the time of winning. In the winning flash effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 135SG194A and the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS272), and displays them in the starting winning command buffer 135SG194A and the active display buffer 135SG194B. It is determined whether or not there is an entry in which the aspect flag is set to "1" or "2", that is, whether or not the hold display advance notice effect is being executed (step 135SGS273).

When there is an entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2" (step 135SGS273; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the entry is an entry based on the start winning to the first start port. It is determined whether or not (step 135SGS274). Whether or not the entry is based on the starting prize for the first starting port may be specified from the starting opening winning designation command stored in the entry.

When the entry is an entry based on the start winning to the first start port (step 135SGS274; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the gaming state is the normal state (step 135SGS275). When the gaming state is the normal state (step 135SGS275; Y), whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is any of 0 to 3, that is, the gaming state is the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. It is determined whether or not (step 135SGS276). When the value of the effect control process flag is any of 0 to 3 (step 135SGS276; Y), the variation category of the entry (entry in which the display mode flag is set to "1" or "2") is super. It is determined whether or not it is reach (step 135SGS277).

When the variable category of the entry is super reach (step 135SGS277; Y), it is determined whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is 2, that is, whether or not the variable display is being executed (step). 135SGS278). When the value of the effect control process flag is 2 (step 135SGS278; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the reach effect is being executed (step 135SGS279). Whether or not the reach effect is being executed may be determined from the contents of the variable display process data and the like.

When the value of the effect control process flag is not 2 (step 135SGS278; N) or when the reach effect is not being executed (step 135SGS279; N), the effect control CPU 120 executes the flash effect at the time of winning based on the variable display result. -Determine non-execution. The variable display result may be specified from the symbol specification command of the entry in which the flash effect target flag at the time of winning is not set.

As shown in FIGS. 40-24, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 10%, and the non-execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 90%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined at a rate of 80%.

That is, in the feature unit 135SG, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed from the start winning, the ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state is set higher than the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed.

Returning to FIG. 40-21, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined (step 135SG279b). If it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning (step 135SG279b; Y), the flash effect at the time of winning is targeted for the flash effect target flag at the time of winning of the entry (entry in which the flash effect target flag at the time of winning is not set). "1" indicating that the memory is on hold is set (step 135SG280), and the flash effect executing flag at the time of winning is turned on (step 135SG280a). The process table for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is selected, the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data 1 (step 135SGS281 to step 135SGS283), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS292.

As shown in FIG. 40-23, the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is that the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the game effect lamp 9 are used as the flash effect at the time of winning the first term for 1.5 seconds from the occurrence of the starting prize. Blinks in a corresponding manner (as shown in FIGS. 40-26 (A) and 40-26 (B), the winning flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are lit at a high brightness C1. And turn off are repeatedly executed), the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the effect image 135SG005E of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is displayed on the image display device 5. In addition, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning in this feature unit 135SG is the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first half and the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the second prize, which is output during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the first prize. It is divided into the sound corresponding to the time flash effect. Of these, as the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, a sound having a relatively short output period (for example, 1 second) such as an electronic sound or a voice sound of a specific character may be output once. Further, as the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the second prize, a sound having a longer output period than the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the first prize such as a dedicated BGM or SE (sound effect) may be repeatedly output. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 135SG, in addition to the above-mentioned sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, a plurality of effect sounds such as the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display, which will be described later, are different by using different channels. Simultaneous output is possible from speakers 8L and 8R at volume.

When the entry is an entry based on winning a prize in the second starting port (step 135SG274; N), when the gaming state is not the normal state (step 135SG275; N), the effect control process flag is any of 0 to 3. If not (step 135SG276; N), if the variable category of the entry is not super reach (step 135SG277; N), if the reach effect is in progress (step 135SG279; Y), the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed. (Step 135SG279b), the winning flash effect target flag of the entry is set to "0" indicating that the entry is not the target of the winning flash effect (step 135SG279c), and the winning flash effect execution process is performed. finish.

Further, when the winning flash effect executing flag is on in step 135SGS271 (step 135SGS271; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the process timer for the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is operating (step). 135SGS284). When the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is operating (step 135SGS284; Y), the value of the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first term is set to -1 (step 135SGS285), and the value is set to -1 for the previous term. It is determined whether or not the flash effect process timer has timed out at the time of winning (step 135SGS286). When the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term does not timer out (step 135SGS286; N), the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect device according to the contents according to the process data of the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term during execution. Control (step 135SGS287) and proceed to step 135SGS292.

Further, when the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term has timered out (step 135SGS286; Y), it is determined whether or not the last process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term has timered out (step 135SGS288). When the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the last previous term winning is not timered out (step 135SGS288; N), the effect control CPU 120 executes the switching of the process data and starts the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the next previous term winning. , The effect device is controlled according to the contents according to the process data of the next process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (step 135SGS289, step 135SGS290, step 135SGS291), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS292.

Then, in step 135SGS292, the effect control CPU 120 includes a game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the button lamp 135SG009X and the stick lamp 135SG009Y, and the winning flash lamp 135SG009F. Is controlled to blink in a manner corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term. Further, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 (step 135SGS293), and the flash effect execution process at the time of winning is completed. As a mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning may be repeatedly emitted in white or red. In addition, as a mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the button lamp 135SG009X and the stick lamp 135SG009Y and the flash at the time of winning are used. The lamp 135SG009F and the lamp 135SG009F may be made to emit light in the same color.

Further, in step 135SGS288, when the last process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is timered out (step 135SGS288; Y), the effect control CPU 120 ends the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (step 135SGS294). Then, the process table for flash effect at the time of late winning is selected, the process timer for flash effect at the time of late winning is started, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data 1 (step 135SGS294 to step 135SGS297), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS307.

As shown in FIG. 40-23, the late winning flash effect is the late winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the end of the early winning flash effect to the start timing of the reach effect of the target variable display super reach. A silhouette image of character A imitated by the winning flash lamp 135SG009F on the image display device 5 by blinking in a manner corresponding to the winning flash effect and outputting the sound corresponding to the winning flash effect from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1. This is an effect of displaying 135SG005S. As a mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the second prize, the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning may be repeatedly emitted in white or red as in the flash effect at the time of the first prize. Since the flash effect at the time of the second prize is performed with a lower brightness than the flash effect at the time of the first prize (see FIG. 40-28), the actual light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of the prize in the flash effect at the time of the second prize is It will emit light in a darker color than the flash effect at the time of winning the first half.

As shown in FIG. 40-27 (A), the game effect lamp 9 (particularly the frame lamp 9b) has a brightness C2 which is lower than the brightness C1 described above during the period except during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. It is designed to repeat turning on and off (blinking) at. In particular, the blinking cycle at the brightness C2 is longer than the blinking cycle at the time of executing the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, and during the blinking, it is shown in FIGS. 40-27 (B) to 40-27 (D). As described above, the frame lamp 9b blinks at a plurality of locations while gradually changing the emission color in a manner corresponding to the background image displayed on the image display device 5. For this reason, the game effect lamp 9 during the period other than the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning the first term has a lower impression on the player than the game effect lamp 9 during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning the first term.

Further, in step 135SGS284, when the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the first half is not operating, that is, when the process timer for flash effect at the time of winning the second half is operating (step 135SGS284; N), the effect control CPU 120 is in the second half. The value of the winning flash effect process timer is set to -1 (step 135SGS298), and it is determined whether or not the late winning flash effect process timer has timered out (step 135SGS299). When the late winning flash effect process timer is not timered out (step 135SGS299; N), the effect device is controlled according to the contents according to the process data of the late winning flash effect process timer being executed (step 135SGS300). ), Proceed to step 135SGS307.

Then, when the late winning flash effect process timer is timered out (step 135SGS299; Y), it is determined whether or not the final late winning flash effect process timer is timered out (step 135SGS301). If the last late winning flash effect process timer is not timered out (step 135SGS301; N), the process data is switched, the next late winning flash effect process timer is started, and the process data 1 The effect device is controlled according to the content (step 135SGS302 to step 135SGS304), and the process proceeds to step 135SGS307.

When the last late winning flash effect process timer is timered out (step 135SGS301; Y), the first late winning flash effect process timer is started and the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data 1 (step 135SGS301; Y). Step 135SGS305, step 135SGS306), and step 135SGS307.

In step 135SGS307, the effect control CPU 120 blinks and controls the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in a manner corresponding to the late winning flash effect. Further, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 (step 135SGS308).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 checks the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS309), and whether or not "1" is set in the winning flash effect target flag of the active display buffer 135SG194B, that is, the variable display during execution. Is a variable display of the target of the flash effect at the time of winning (step 135SGS310). When "0" is set in the winning flash effect target flag of the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS310; N), the winning flash effect execution process is terminated. When "1" is set in the winning flash effect target flag of the active display buffer 135SG194B (step 135SGS310; Y), it is determined whether or not it is the start timing of the reach effect (step 135SGS311).

When it is the start timing of the reach effect (step 135SGS311; Y), the effect control CPU 120 ends the flash effect at the time of the late winning, turns off the flag during the flash effect at the time of winning (step 135SGS312, step 135SGS313), and at the time of winning. The flash effect execution process ends.

Further, when it is not the start timing of the reach effect (step 135SGS311; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the symbol confirmation command is received (step 135SGS311a). When the symbol confirmation command is received (step 135SGS311a; Y), the flash effect at the time of winning is ended, the flash effect executing flag at the time of winning is turned off (step 135SGS312, step 135SGS313), and the flash effect execution process at the time of winning is executed. finish. When the symbol confirmation command is not received (step 135SGS311a; N), the winning flash effect execution process is terminated without executing the processes of step 135SGS312 and step 135SGS313.

As described above, the flash effect at the time of winning the first half in the feature unit 135SG is an effect that ends when a predetermined effect period (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses, while the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is an effect. It is an effect that is repeatedly executed without ending every time a certain period of time elapses until the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the target.

Further, if it cannot be determined that the effect control CPU 120 is the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the effect target due to the generation of static electricity or the like during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the start timing of the reach effect. At the end timing of the variable display (reception timing of the symbol confirmation command), which is a later timing, it is possible to end the late winning flash effect including the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F.

As shown in step 135SGS281 in FIG. 40-21 and step 135SGS295 in FIG. 40-22, in the feature unit 135SG, the effect control CPU 120 is a production process table of 1 as a flash effect process table at the time of winning a prize in the previous term. Is selected, and 1 production process table as the flash production process table at the time of late winning is selected. In other words, as the production pattern (production period) of the flash production at the time of the first prize and the flash production at the time of the second prize of this feature unit 135SG, the same production mode and the same production period are always used at the time of the first prize. The flash effect and the flash effect at the time of the second prize are executed.

FIG. 40-25 is a flowchart showing the variable display during effect processing (step S172) in the effect control process process. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 sets the respective values of the process timer, the variation time timer, and the variation control timer to -1 (step 135SGS351, step 135SGS352, step 135SGS353). The process timer, the variable display time timer, and the variable display control timer are timers set in the variable display start setting process.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timed out (step 135SGS356). If the process timer is out of timer (step 135SGS356; Y), the process data is switched (step 135SGS357). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer setting value set next in the process table set in the variable display start setting process in the process timer (step 135SGS358). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect component) is changed based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., which are set next (step 135SGS359). On the other hand, when the process timer is not timer-out (step 135SGS356; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.) The control of the effect device (effect component) is executed according to (step 135SGS360).

In particular, as the control contents of step 135SGS359 and step 135SGS360, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the variable display compatible sound corresponding to the variable display being executed from the speakers 8L and 8R at a volume V2 lower than the volume V1 (step). 135SGS361). The variable display compatible sound in the feature unit 135SG refers to a BGM corresponding to the background image displayed on the image display device 5, a BGM corresponding to the number of pseudo-continuous effects executed during the variable display, and the like. Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is not executed (step 135SGS362; N), the blinking control is performed in a mode corresponding to the variable display during execution of the game effect lamp 9 (step 135SGS363), while the flash at the time of winning the previous term During the execution of the effect (step 135SGS362; Y), the blinking control in the mode corresponding to the variable display during the execution of the game effect lamp 9 is not executed (as shown in FIGS. 40-21 and 40-22, the game effect is executed. The lamp 9 is controlled to blink in a manner corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the advance notice effect execution process (step 135SG364). In the advance notice effect execution process, for example, whether or not to execute the advance notice effect during the execution of the variable display when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display start setting process, and which effect pattern is used to execute the advance notice effect. It suffices if it is decided whether or not, and the advance notice effect can be executed according to the decision result. Further, when determining the effect pattern of the advance notice effect in the above-mentioned variable display start setting process, the advance notice effect is eventually determined by determining one effect pattern from a plurality of effect patterns at different ratios according to the variable display result. The ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state may be different depending on whether or not it is executed in the effect pattern of.

The effect executed as the advance notice effect in the feature unit 135SG is a line advance notice effect in which the character's dialogue is displayed on the image display device 5 and the jackpot expectation degree differs depending on the displayed dialogue.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 135SGS365). When the variable display control timer is out of the timer (step 135SGS365; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left middle right decorative symbol (displayed 30 ms after the previous display switching of the decorative symbol). Image data of the screen to be displayed) is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (step 135SGS366). In this way, the image display device 5 realizes variable display control of the decorative pattern. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. In this way, the image display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the decorative symbol in the variable display of the decorative symbol. Further, a predetermined value is reset in the variable display control timer (step 135SGS367).

Further, when the variable display control timer is not timered out (step 135SGS365; N) or after the execution of step 135SGS366, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display time timer is timered out (step 135SGS368). .. If the variable display time timer is out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure hit waiting process (step S173) (step 135SGS370). Even if the variable display time timer is not timer-out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation command has been received is set (step 135SGS369; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is waited for per special figure. The value is updated according to (step S173) (step 135SGS370). Variable display time Even if the timer is not out, the control shifts to stop the variable display when a symbol confirmation command is received. Therefore, for example, a fluctuation pattern specification command that indicates a long fluctuation time due to noise between boards. Is received, the variable display of the decorative symbol can be terminated when the regular variable display time elapses (at the end of the variable display of the special symbol).

In the process table used for the variable display control of the decorative symbol, the process data during the variable display of the decorative symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variable display time of the decorative symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n in the process of step 135SGS356 times out, there is no process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and the effect control of the decorative symbol based on the process table is performed. finish.

Next, the operation mode of each effect device at the time of executing the flash effect at the time of winning in the feature unit 135SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 40-28 to 40-68. First, FIG. 40-28 is a timing chart when a start winning is generated during execution of the variable display and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the starting winning. In addition, FIG. 40-28 shows both the case where the execution of the hold display notice effect is decided when the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided based on the start winning, and the case where the non-execution of the hold display notice effect is decided. It is a corresponding timing chart. 40-29 to 40-48 show the image display device 5 when a start winning is generated during execution of the variable display and the execution of the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the start prize. It is a figure which shows the effect mode in the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning. In FIGS. 40-49 to 40-68, a start winning is generated during the execution of the variable display, and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the start winning, while the non-execution of the hold display notice effect is determined. It is a figure which shows the effect mode in the image display device 5 and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in the case of this.

In the case of "when the execution of the hold display notice effect and the winning flash effect is decided" shown in FIGS. 40-29 to 40-48, the display mode of the hold display, which is the target of the winning flash effect, is the display pattern β or. This is a case where the display pattern is γ (displayed in a blue or red circle), and the “notice of pending display while the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided” shown in FIGS. 40-49 to 40-68. "When it is decided not to execute the effect" refers to a case where the display mode of the hold display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is displayed in the display pattern α (displayed in a white circle).

First, as shown in FIGS. 40-28 and 40-29 (A), while the variable display is being executed, the image display device 5 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol, and the speakers 8L and 8R perform the variable display. The corresponding sound is output at volume V2. Further, during the execution of the variable display, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks at the cycle T0 corresponding to the variable display (FIGS. 40-27 (A) to 40-27). (Blinking in the mode shown in (D)) is controlled.

Further, during the execution of the variable display, an image corresponding to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the advance notice effect, and the notice effect is displayed from the speakers 8L and 8R. A sound corresponding to the effect pattern (for example, a sound corresponding to a preview effect such as a sound in which a character or the like speaks a character displayed on the image display device 5) is output at a volume V2. Further, as the hold storage, there are three first special figure hold memories (three hold displays are displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D).

When a prize (starting prize) to the first starting port occurs during such a variable display, and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 40-28 and FIG. 40-29 (B), the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 40-28 and 40-29 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 (V1> V2) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, 40-30 (C) and 40-30 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5. At the same time, the blinking control of the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG009X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the time of winning is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, as shown in FIGS. 40-30 (D), 40-31 (E), and 40-31 (F), the specific display display start effect B described above is used. An animation in which the character A appears from the winning flash lamp 135SG009F whose blinking is controlled is displayed, and an animation in which the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. Then, after the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the position where the hold display in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed (in the case of the feature unit 135SG, the fourth hold). An animation that attacks (acts) on the display position) is displayed.

After the character A acts on the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the hold display, which is the target of the running flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term), gradually appears from the bottom to the top at the affected position. The appearance animation is displayed (see FIGS. 40-20 (D-1) to 40-20 (D-5)). The hold display for which the appearance animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D has been completed shifts to the rotation display as the other hold display as the specific display rotation display effect.

That is, in the present feature unit 135SG, when a start winning is generated during the variable display and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided based on the starting winning, the display of the hold display based on the starting winning is completed. The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 are started. The appearance animation of the hold display (specific display) accompanied by the execution of the specific display display start effect B in the feature unit 135SG is completed during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning (FIGS. 40-32 (G) and 40. See −32 (H)).

When the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is completed, the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is started from the end timing. As shown in FIGS. 40-28, 40-32 (G) and 40-32 (H), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V2 from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the same time, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 (cycle T2> cycle T1). In addition, the image display device 5 starts displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S of the character A around the flash lamp 135SG009F at regular intervals.

At the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half and the start timing of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half, the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y as the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, The light emitting mode (blinking in the brightness C1 and the cycle T1) corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the first term of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d) ends. Then, the light emitting mode of the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y is shown in the background image displayed on the image display device 5. It switches to the corresponding mode (blinking in brightness C2 and period T0 shown in FIGS. 40-27 (A) to 40-27 (D)). That is, the light emitting mode of the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y is based on the end of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term. Return to the light emission mode before the start of the flash effect at the time of winning the first term. The stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y remain off after the start timing of the flash effect at the time of the late winning.

The blinking of the game effect lamp 9 (main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, attacker lamp 9c, movable body lamp 9d) excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the brightness C2 and the period T0 is as described above. As the same mode as the mode before the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning (the light emitting mode shown in FIG. 40-29 (A)), the color corresponding to the background image of the image display device 5 (for example, if the background image is a daytime image). Gradation with bluish colors, if the background image is an evening image, gradation with reddish colors, etc.) is executed.

The cycle T2, which is the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, is a cycle longer than the above-mentioned cycle T1 but shorter than the above-mentioned cycle T0 (length of lamp blinking cycle: T0> T2). > T1). It should be noted that the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y are not turned on during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-32 (H), 40-33 (I) and 40-33 (J), when the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5, the image display device 5 The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B having transparency over the entire area of the first display area 135SG005F excluding the active display area 135SG005A is overlapped and displayed. The silhouette image 135SG005S in the feature unit 135SG is displayed in blue so that the player can easily see it when it is overlapped with the black image 135SG005B.

The feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in blue so that the player can easily see it when the black image 135SG005B is overlapped with the black image 135SG005B, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the silhouette image 135SG005S may be displayed in a color other than blue such as green or red. In particular, when the silhouette image 135SG005S can be displayed in a plurality of colors such as blue, green, and red described above, the jackpot expectation may be different depending on which color the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed. Good. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the color of the silhouette image 135SG005S, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 40-32 (H) and 40-33 (J), in the feature unit 135SG, the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the right side of the image display device 5, while the image display device A small symbol 135SG005M is displayed at the left end of 5. Therefore, in the winning flash effect of the feature unit 135SG, the silhouette image 135SG005S and the small symbol 135SG005M are not displayed in duplicate, and the player displays the silhouette image 135SG005S during the execution of the winning flash effect. Regardless of whether or not it is inside, it is possible to confirm whether or not the variable display is being executed by visually recognizing the small symbol 135SG005M.

As shown in FIGS. 40-33 (J), 40-34 (K), and 40-34 (L), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the decorative symbol are displayed on the image display device 5. The small symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating that it is out of alignment (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the feature unit 135SG is executed regardless of whether or not it is the symbol determination period.

That is, during the whiteout period, no sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and there is no sound. From the timing when the whiteout is completed, the above-mentioned winning flash lamp 135SG009F, main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, Along with the start of light emission mode (lighting at brightness C1) according to the reach effect of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d, the output of the reach effect compatible sound which is the sound corresponding to the reach effect is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. .. As the reach effect compatible sound in this feature unit 135SG, a BGM or the like different from the variable display compatible sound should be output so that the player can recognize that the reach effect (super reach reach effect) is being executed. Just do it.

As shown in FIGS. 40-28, when a start prize is generated during the execution of the variable display and the execution of the hold display notice effect is decided based on the start prize, the start port lamp light emission effect is performed. From the timing of the start winning, the start port lamp 135SG009S has a color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect (for example, blue when the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern β, and the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern γ. In the case of red), the light emission is started.

The light emission of the start port lamp 135SG009S is an effect that is executed completely independently of the above-mentioned flash effect at the time of winning, and regardless of the blinking mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning or the game effect lamp 9, the above-mentioned start From the time of winning until the end of the variable display of the target of the start port lamp light emission effect (variable display of the target of the flash effect at the time of winning), the light emission in the color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect is continued.

Next, in the start winning while the variable display is being executed, the case where the execution of the hold display notice effect is not determined together with the flash effect at the time of winning will be described.

First, as shown in FIGS. 40-28 and 40-49 (A), while the variable display is being executed, the image display device 5 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol, and the speakers 8L and 8R perform the variable display. The corresponding sound is output at volume V2. Further, during the execution of the variable display, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is lit, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks at the cycle T0 corresponding to the variable display (FIGS. 40-27 (A) to 40-27). (Blinking in the mode shown in (D)) is controlled.

Further, during the execution of the variable display, an image corresponding to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the advance notice effect, and the notice effect is displayed from the speakers 8L and 8R. A sound corresponding to the effect pattern (sound corresponding to the advance notice effect) is output at the volume V2. Further, as the hold storage, there are three first special figure hold memories (three hold displays are displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D).

When a prize (starting prize) to the first starting port occurs during such a variable display, and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 40-28 and FIG. 40-49 (B), the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 40-28 and 40-49 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 (V1> V2) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, 40-50 (C) and 40-50 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5.

That is, during the whiteout period, no sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and there is no sound. From the timing when the whiteout is completed, the above-mentioned winning flash lamp 135SG009F, main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, Along with the start of light emission mode (lighting at brightness C1) according to the reach effect of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d, the output of the reach effect compatible sound which is the sound corresponding to the reach effect is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. .. As the reach effect compatible sound in this feature unit 135SG, a BGM or the like different from the variable display compatible sound should be output so that the player can recognize that the reach effect (super reach reach effect) is being executed. Just do it.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 135SG, FIGS. 40-28, 40-29 (A) to 40-32 (H), 40-49 (A) to 40-50 (FIGS. 40-49). As shown in D), the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning emits light before the display of the holding display is completed, so that the player can easily recognize the holding display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. .. Further, it has a winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the first light emitting means in the present invention, and a main lamp 9a, a frame lamp 9b, an attacker lamp 9c, and a movable lamp 9d as the second light emitting means in the present invention. As shown in 40-28, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F blinks at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize, and at the brightness C2 and the cycle during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. While blinking at T2, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d blink at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize, and at the time of the second prize. Since the flashing flashes at brightness C2 and cycle T0 during the flash effect execution period, not only the winning flash lamp 135SG009F but also the main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, and attacker lamp 9c during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. Since the movable lamp 9d can also make the flash effect at the time of winning more conspicuous by blinking at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1, the game can more easily recognize the hold display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. It has become.

In the feature unit 135SG, when a new start prize is generated during the variable display, whether or not the flash effect is executed at the time of winning and whether or not the hold display notice effect is executed for the hold memory based on the start prize. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a new start prize is generated when the variable display is not executed and the hold memory does not exist, the start prize is given. It may be possible to determine whether or not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning and whether or not to execute the hold display notice effect for the hold memory based on. Specifically, when a new start prize is generated during the variable display, the display pattern α to the display pattern γ (hold display notice) are displayed in the active display area 135SG005A as the specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B. After executing the appearance animation of the active display of either the display pattern when the effect is not executed or the display pattern when the hold display notice effect is executed), the active display is displayed as the specific display rotation display effect. In addition to executing the rotation display, the flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of the first prize and the flash effect at the time of the second prize) may be executed based on the start of the variable display based on the start prize.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-15, 40-30 (D) to 40-32 (H), and 40-49 (B) to 40-50 (D), the specific display display start effect is The part where the appearance animation in which the hold display gradually appears from the bottom to the top is displayed, and FIGS. 40-15, 40-30 (D) to 40-32 (H), and 40-49 (B) to 40. As shown in -50 (D), it is composed of being displayed as a hold display or a rotation animation, and as shown in FIGS. 40-19 and 40-20, from the timing when the appearance animation of the hold display is completed. , Since the rotation animation of the hold display is started, the player's attention to the hold display can be increased.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-29 (A) to 40-32 (H), when the specific display display start effect B is executed, the flash effect at the time of winning is performed from the timing before the display start of the hold display. Since the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d emit light at the time of winning, the flash effect at the time of winning can be further emphasized. In addition, in this feature unit 135SG, even when the specific display display start effect A of FIGS. 40-49 (A) to 40-50 (D) is executed, the flash effect at the time of winning is performed from the timing before the display start of the hold display. Since the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d emit light at the time of winning, the flash effect at the time of winning can be further emphasized.

Further, the execution period of the specific display display start effect A is 0.2 seconds, the execution period of the specific display display start effect B is 1.2 seconds, and FIGS. 40-28 and 40-49 (A) to As shown in FIG. 40-50 (D), since the flash effect at the time of winning is started before the end timing of the specific display display start effect A, the display pattern of the hold display is any of the display patterns α to the display pattern γ. Even so, since the flash effect at the time of winning can be started before the specific display display start effect ends, the player can surely recognize the hold display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, 40-29 (A), 40-29 (B), 40-49 (A), and 40-49 (B), at the time of winning based on the starting prize. If it is decided to execute the flash effect, the player can start the flash effect at the time of winning by turning off the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d at the time of winning. Can be recognized.

In this feature unit 135SG, when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the starting prize, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are turned off. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the starting prize, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the main lamp 9a, and the frame The lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are emitted at a brightness lower than the immediately preceding brightness (for example, if the lamp has been emitting light at the brightness C2 until then, the brightness is C3 lower than the brightness C2). It may be changed. That is, the "low brightness state" in the present invention means a state in which the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d are emitting light at low brightness at the time of winning, and also extinguishing. The state of being (not emitting light) is also included.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-29 (A) to 40-48 (n) and 40-49 (A) to 40-68 (n), the advance notice effect is being executed during the variable display. The flash effect at the time of winning can be executed depending on the case and the case where the flash is not being executed. As shown in FIG. 40-29 (B), the speakers 8L and 8R execute the flash effect at the time of winning during the execution of the variable display. When the variable display compatible sound is output at the volume V2, the winning flash effect compatible sound is output at the volume V1 (V1> V2), and when the winning flash effect is executed during the advance notice effect, the winning flash effect is output. The sound corresponding to the advance notice effect is output at the volume V2, while the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V1 (V1> V2). Therefore, even if the variable display compatible sound and the advance notice production compatible sound are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the winning flash production compatible sound can be output so that the player can easily hear the winning flash production. The output of the corresponding sound makes it easier for the player to recognize the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning.

In this feature unit 135SG, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 from the speakers 8L and 8R as a form in which the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output with priority over the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display body. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash production compatible sound at the time of winning is output as the preview production compatible sound. As a form of outputting with priority over the sound corresponding to the variable display body, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2, while the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display are lower in volume than the volume V2. (For example, the volume V3) may be output.

Further, the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a mode in which the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output with priority over the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is not necessary to output the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning in preference to the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display body. Specifically, if the advance notice effect is started during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning (the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning or the sound corresponding to the strange display is being output from the speakers 8L, 8R), the prize is won from the speakers 8L, 8R. The output of the hour flash effect compatible sound may be temporarily stopped and only the variable display compatible sound and the advance notice effect compatible sound, or only one of the advance notice effect compatible sound and the variable display compatible sound may be output. By doing so, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game due to the sound corresponding to the advance notice effect and the sound corresponding to the variable display becoming difficult for the player to hear due to the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, 40-29 (A) to 40-32 (H), and 40-49 (A) to 40-50 (D), at the time of winning according to the starting prize. When it is decided to execute the flash effect, the flash effect lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking after the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display is completed. Therefore, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R makes it possible for the player to quickly recognize that the start winning is generated and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided. it can.

It should be noted that the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking after the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display is completed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the appearance animation of the hold display are started after the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. You may do so.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is blinked at the brightness C1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the first half, and the flash at the time of winning is flashed during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half. By blinking the lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C2 (C1> C2), at least by blinking the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C1, the player can be made to recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning. , It is possible to prevent the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning from blinking at the brightness C1 even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, which hinders other effects and reduces the entertainment interest.

In this feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is blinked at the brightness C1 and the cycle T2 as the first-half winning flash effect, and the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is used as the second-half winning flash effect. Is illustrated as a "specific mode in which the degree of emphasis is low", in which the flashing is performed in a period T2 having a brightness C2 lower than the brightness C1 and a period longer than the period T1. That is, as the "specific mode with low emphasis" of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the late winning flash effect of the feature unit 135SG, the low-speed blinking mode with low emphasis due to the slow blinking speed (long blinking cycle). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and is used for the winning flash in the late winning flash production. As the "specific mode with a low degree of emphasis" of the lamp 135SG009F, only one of these low-speed blinking modes and the low-luminance mode may be used.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning is the period during which the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is executed and the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. Since the execution period of the variable display is included, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning blinks at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 before and after the start of the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. It becomes easier for the player to recognize that the display is variable, and the game interest can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, the effect image 135SG005E is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, and the image display device 5 is displayed during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. By displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S, the player can be made to recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by displaying the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. During the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, by displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5, the image display device 5 continues to display the effect image 135SG005E, which becomes an obstacle to other displays and is a game entertainment. Can be suppressed from decreasing.

In particular, in the feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIGS. 40-30 (D) to 40-31 (F) and 40-34 (L), the effect image 135SG005E is brighter than the silhouette image 135SG005S. Since the image is displayed in color and the display area of the image display device 5 is wide, the player can effectively recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by displaying the effect image 135SG005E.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the first half, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 and during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. Then, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8l and 8R at the volume V2 (V1> V2). In this way, by outputting the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V1, it becomes possible for the player to easily recognize that the flash effect at the time of winning has been started. At the same time, during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning in the second half, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2, so that other effects are hindered by the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, which reduces the game interest. It can be suppressed.

In this feature unit 135SG, during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning a prize, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2, so that other effects are hindered by the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning. Although the form of suppressing the deterioration of the game interest is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and other effects are won by not outputting the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize. It may be possible to prevent the deterioration of the game interest due to being hindered by the sound corresponding to the flash effect.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-29 (A) to 40-48 (n), during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning a prize, before the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started. During the variable display symbol confirmation period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning continues to blink, that is, whether or not the effect control CPU 120 has received the symbol confirmation command (the confirmation command reception flag is set), or is variable. Regardless of whether the display time timer has timered out or not, the player is controlled to the jackpot game state by continuously blinking the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning even during the symbol confirmation period. It is possible to accurately maintain the expectation of the game until the start of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, and the game entertainment can be improved.

In this feature unit 135SG, as the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are arranged according to the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (brightness). After the flash effect at the time of the first prize is completed, the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning is used as the flash effect at the time of the second prize in the mode (brightness C2 and the cycle T2) according to the flash effect at the time of the second prize. ), While the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d are made to emit light in an mode (brightness C2 and period T0) according to the background image. Is not limited to this, and the effect control CPU 120 clears the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the first prize at the timing when the flash effect at the time of the first prize is finished, so that the flash effect at the time of the second prize is executed during the execution period. It may be possible to prevent the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d at the time of winning from emitting light in a manner corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term.

Further, as shown in FIG. 40-3, a small symbol 135SG005M is arranged at the left end of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5, and as shown in FIGS. 40-33 (J) and the like, the symbol is confirmed. During the period, the small symbol 135SG005M is displayed with the variable display stopped. Therefore, even if the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning continues to emit light during the symbol confirmation period, the small symbol 135SG005M is derived in combination indicating that it is out of alignment. Since it is displayed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the symbol is being determined.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-33 (J) and the like, the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the right side of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5 while the flash effect at the time of winning is being executed, while it is small. Since the symbol 135SG005M is displayed at the left end of the first display area 135SG005F of the image display device 5, the silhouette image 135SG005S is duplicated on the small symbol 135SG005M, which makes it difficult for the player to recognize the end of the variable display. It is possible to prevent it from being stored.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, the image display device 5 can execute a pseudo continuous effect including a temporary stop and a revariable display of the decorative symbol during the variable display, and the variable display during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning. In the case where the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the silhouette as a flash effect at the time of winning a special symbol (see Fig. 40-40, etc.) that stops in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 5C when the decorative symbol temporarily stops. Since the image 135SG005S can be displayed in duplicate, the silhouette image 135SG005S hides the special symbol, which can give the player unexpectedness and improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28 and 40-42 (a) to 40-47 (l), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5 even in the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the variable display is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, and the interest of the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, during the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is blinked at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 before the start of the reach effect to produce the reach effect. At the start timing, while the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off, as shown in FIG. 40-22, it is determined that the effect control CPU 120 is the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the effect target due to the generation of static electricity or the like. If it cannot be done, the flash effect at the time of the second prize including the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is again at the end timing of the variable display (the reception timing of the symbol confirmation command) which is the timing after the start timing of the reach effect. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the sense of incongruity when the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect does not end at the start timing of the reach effect.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-22, when it cannot be determined that the effect control CPU 120 is the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display of the effect target due to the generation of static electricity or the like, the effect control CPU 120 determines the symbol. Since the flash effect at the time of winning the second prize is terminated based on the reception of the command, it is possible to further reduce the discomfort when ending the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIG. 40-21, if a start winning prize is generated at the first starting port during the execution of the reach effect of the super reach, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is not decided, so that the reach effect of the super reach is produced. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the game interest due to a decrease in attention to.

Further, as shown in FIG. 40-17, the feature unit 135SG can display the hold display and the active display in any of the display patterns α to the display patterns γ having different jackpot expectations, and also shows in FIGS. 40-28. As shown, when it is decided that the start port lamp 135SG009S displays the hold display or the active display in the display pattern β or the display pattern γ, the flashing lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning or the game effect as a flash effect at the time of winning. Regardless of the light emitting mode of the lamp 9 or the like, since the light is emitted in the color corresponding to the display pattern β and the display pattern γ from the occurrence of the start winning to the end of the variable display based on the starting winning, the player can perform the hold display or the active display. Can be recognized by the light emitting mode (light emitting color) of the start port lamp 135SG009S, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

Although the feature portions of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these feature portions, and any changes or additions within the scope of the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. Is done.

For example, the late winning flash effect in the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a mode in which the flash effect is executed regardless of whether or not the symbol is fixed during the symbol determination period (variable display is stopped), but the present invention is limited thereto. As shown in FIGS. 40-69 to 40-89 as a modified example 135SG-1, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of the late prize, the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the silhouette. The display of the image 135SG005S and the like may not be executed during the symbol determination period.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40-69 and 40-70 (A), while the variable display is being executed, the image display device 5 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol, and the speakers 8L and 8R The variable display compatible sound is output at the volume V2. Further, during the execution of the variable display, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is lit, and the game effect lamp 9 blinks at the cycle T0 corresponding to the variable display (FIGS. 40-27 (A) to 40-27). (Blinking in the mode shown in (D)) is controlled.

Further, during the execution of the variable display, an image corresponding to the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the advance notice effect, and the notice effect is displayed from the speakers 8L and 8R. A sound corresponding to the effect pattern (sound corresponding to the advance notice effect) is output at the volume V2. Further, as the hold storage, there are three first special figure hold memories (three hold displays are displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D).

When a prize (starting prize) to the first starting port occurs during such a variable display, and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning, the figure is shown in the figure. As shown in 40-69 and FIG. 40-70 (B), the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 40-69 and 40-70 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V1 (V1> V2) from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off. Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-69, 40-71 (C) and 40-71 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5. At the same time, the blinking control of the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG00X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the time of winning is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, as shown in FIGS. 40-71 (D), 40-72 (E), and 40-72 (F), the specific display display start effect B described above is used. An animation in which the character A appears from the winning flash lamp 135SG009F whose blinking is controlled is displayed, and an animation in which the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. Then, after the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the position where the hold display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D (in the case of the present modification 135SG-1, the fourth position). An animation that attacks (acts) against (the position where the hold display of is displayed) is displayed.

After the character A acts on the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the hold display, which is the target of the running flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term), gradually appears from the bottom to the top at the affected position. The appearance animation is displayed (see FIGS. 40-20 (D-1) to 40-20 (D-5)). The hold display for which the appearance animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D has been completed shifts to the rotation display as the other hold display as the specific display rotation display effect.

That is, in the present modification 135SG-1, when a start winning is generated during the variable display and the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided based on the starting winning, the display of the hold display based on the starting winning is completed. First, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 are started. The appearance animation of the hold display (specific display) accompanied by the execution of the specific display display start effect B in the present modification 135SG-1 is completed during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning (FIGS. 40-73 (G) and FIG. (See FIG. 40-73 (H)).

When the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is completed, the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is started from the end timing. As shown in FIGS. 40-69, 40-73 (G) and 40-73 (H), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is set to the volume V2 from the speakers 8L and 8R. At the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F has a brightness C2 and blinks in a cycle T2 (cycle T2> cycle T1), and the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y has a brightness C2 and a cycle T2. Blinking (blinking in the manner shown in FIGS. 40-27 (A) to 40-27 (D)), silhouette image of character A around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5 at regular intervals of 135SG005S Is started to be displayed.

The blinking of the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y in the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 is a color corresponding to the background image of the image display device 5 (for example, if the background image is a daytime image). Gradation with bluish colors, if the background image is an evening image, gradation with reddish colors, etc.) is executed.

The cycle T2, which is the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, is a cycle longer than the above-mentioned cycle T1 but shorter than the above-mentioned cycle T0 (length of lamp blinking cycle: T0> T2). > T1). It should be noted that the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y are not turned on during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-74 (I) and 40-74 (J), when the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5, the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is excluded. 1 The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B having transparency over the entire display area 135SG005F is overlapped and displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 40-74 (J), 40-75 (K), and 40-75 (L), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-69, 40-76 (M) and 40-76 (N), the latter period is during the symbol determination period from the end timing of the variable display to the start timing of the next variable display. The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L and 8R as the flash effect at the time of winning and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are stopped, and the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable Only blinking in a mode corresponding to the background image displayed on the image display device 5 of the body lamp 9d is continuously executed.

When the symbol confirmation period ends, a new variable display is started. At this time, in the image display device 5, the hold display first displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is moved to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display and is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The display position of the remaining hold display is shifted to the right by one. Further, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 is also started.

Hereinafter, as shown in FIGS. 40-75 (K) to 40-82 (Z), in the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning. While the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are repeatedly executed. During the symbol confirmation period, the speaker 8L and 8R as the flash effect at the time of winning the prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the blinking of the cycle T2, the image display. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the device 5 is not executed.

As shown in FIGS. 40-79 (S) to 40-81 (X), in the variable display in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped during the period (FIG. 40-81 (FIG. 40-81). See W). In this modified example 135SG-1, the decorative symbols showing normal numbers are temporarily stopped in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R, and the special symbol that notifies the temporary stop to the decorative symbol display area 5C inside is temporarily stopped. Is temporarily stopped), as the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from the speakers 8L, 8R at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the blinking of the cycle T2, and the image display The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the device 5 is executed.

In addition, in FIG. 40-81 (W), during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning, the prize is won when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning. The blinking of the hour flash lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 is not executed, but depending on the timing of the temporary stop, the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F even during the temporary stop of the decorative symbol. Blinking is now executed. That is, in the present modification 135SG-1, the flash effect at the time of winning is continuously executed during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol for the variable display before the variable display which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-82 (Y) and 40-82 (Z), when the variable display that is out of the normal reach is completed in response to the execution of the pseudo continuous effect, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of late winning in the feature unit 135SG is also executed during the symbol determination period of the variable display that is out of the normal reach. That is, as shown in FIGS. 40-82 (Y) and 40-82 (Z), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is duplicatedly displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period. At the same time, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2.

As shown in FIGS. 40-81 (W) and 40-81 (X), during the period during which the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M is executed regardless of the temporary stop. Therefore, the player can recognize that the variable display has not been completed by visually recognizing the variable display of the small symbol 135SG005M.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-83 (a) and 40-83 (b), when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started, it is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The hold display corresponding to the variable display moves to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display.

As shown in FIGS. 40-84 (c) to 40-88 (l), in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, the advance notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 40-84 (d) and 40-85 (e)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 40-86 (g) to 40-87 (j)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 40-87 (j)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-89 (m) and 40-89 (n), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. After the 135SG005F is once whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white), the reach effect is started. In the present modification 135SG-1, it is suggested that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

At the whiteout timing, the speaker 8L as the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning from 8R, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, in the image display device 5. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S ends. On the other hand, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2, and the blinking of the game effect lamp 9 except for the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y at the brightness C2 and the cycle T0 are continuously executed.

As shown in FIGS. 40-69, when a start prize is generated during the execution of the variable display and the execution of the hold display notice effect is decided based on the start prize, the start port lamp light emission effect is performed. From the timing of the start winning, the start port lamp 135SG009S has a color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect (for example, blue when the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern β, and the display pattern of the hold display is the display pattern γ. In the case of red), it starts emitting light.

The light emission of the start port lamp 135SG009S is an effect that is executed completely independently of the above-mentioned flash effect at the time of winning, and regardless of the blinking mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning or the game effect lamp 9, the above-mentioned start From the time of winning until the end of the variable display of the target of the start port lamp light emission effect (variable display of the target of the flash effect at the time of winning), the light emission in the color corresponding to the display pattern of the hold display notice effect is continued.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-1, when the flash effect at the time of winning is started based on the start winning, the lighting of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is stopped as the flash effect at the time of the late winning during the symbol confirmation period. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the variable display is being executed by continuously lighting the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as a flash effect at the time of the late winning during the symbol confirmation period. ing. Furthermore, during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol during the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, and during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the lamp for the flash at the time of winning 135SG009F By continuing to blink the brightness C2 and the period T2, it is possible to prevent the game from misidentifying that the variable display has ended even though the decorative symbol is in the temporary stop period.

In the modified example 135SG-1, during the symbol confirmation period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, the lighting of the flash effect at the time of the prize 135SG009F, and the silhouette of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. Although the embodiment in which the display of the image 135SG005S is stopped is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the player is executing the variable display during the symbol determination period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the late winning. If it is possible to prevent misunderstanding that it is, one of the output of the flash effect compatible sound at the time of winning, the lighting of the flash effect at the time of the late winning of the prize 135SG009F, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S. Alternatively, only two may be executed.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-1, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize, the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the silhouette during the symbol confirmation period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize. An example of a mode in which the display of the image 135SG005S is not executed is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the flash at the time of winning as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the symbol determination period during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize. As a mode in which the output of the effect-corresponding sound, the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S, etc. are not executed, for example, the effect control CPU 120 receives the symbol confirmation command during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning. By clearing the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the second prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of the prize as the flash effect at the time of the second prize, and the light emission of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of the prize, by clearing the process timer for the flash effect at the time of the second prize. The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S may not be executed.

In this case, the effect control CP 120 re-selects the late winning flash effect process table and resets and starts the late winning flash effect process timer based on the reception of the first variable display start command. By doing so, the late winning flash effect (output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, display of the silhouette image 135SG005S) may be started in response to the start of a new variable display.

Further, as a mode in which the flash lamp 135SG009F for winning as the flash effect for late winning is not executed during the symbol determination period during the execution period of the flash effect for late winning, for example, the effect control CPU 120 may be used for the flash for late winning. Based on the fact that the symbol confirmation command was received during the execution of the effect, the lamp control board 14 is not the lighting control data corresponding to the process data of the flash effect process timer at the time of the late winning, but the lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning. The lighting control data for maintaining the extinguishing (for example, "0: 0: 0" indicating extinguishing as the RGB value of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning) may be continuously output until the variable display start command is received. ..

In addition, if the flash effect at the time of the second prize is not executed during the symbol confirmation period in this way, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, the lighting of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the silhouette image are performed again from the start timing of the new variable display. The display of 135SG005S may be re-executed from the beginning of each cycle (see Fig. 40-69), and from the start timing of the new variable display, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning and the lighting of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, The display of the silhouette image 135SG005S may be restarted from the middle of each cycle.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-1, when the variable display ends during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, the speakers 8L and 8R as the flash effect at the time of the late winning are used during the symbol determination period of the variable display. While stopping the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect and the display of the silhouette image 235SG005S at the time of winning, according to the background image displayed on the image display device 5 of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9d. Although the blinking in the above mode is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d are used during the symbol determination period. The blinking may also stop. In particular, as a form in which the blinking of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d is stopped during the symbol confirmation period, the in lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9c are movable. The body lamp 9d may be turned off, or the in lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d may be turned off in a certain color (for example, the background displayed on the image display device 5) during the symbol determination period. It may be maintained in a state of being continuously lit with a color (color corresponding to the image).

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as an explanation of FIG. 40-8, it is described that a plurality of reach effects may be provided as the reach effect of the super reach. In this way, a plurality of reach effects are provided as the reach effect of the super reach. When the above is provided, the jackpot expectation is different among the reach effects of a plurality of super reach (for example, as the reach effect of super reach, the reach effect of super reach α and the expectation of big hit than the reach effect of the super reach α A high reach effect of super reach β may be provided).

In particular, when it is possible to execute the reach effect of a plurality of super reach having different jackpot expectations as described above, as shown in FIGS. 40-90 (A) and 40-90 (B) as a modified example 135SG-2. , The movable body 32 can be moved between the retracted position (for example, the upper position of the image display device 5) and the effect position (for example, the center front position in the front view of the image display device 5), and the flash effect at the time of winning. When the variable display that is the target of the variable display is the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α (the variable display that executes the reach effect of the super reach α), the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 during the variable display is displayed. By repeatedly moving the movable body 32 between the retracted position and the retracted position (for example, the intermediate position between the retracted position and the effect position described above) during the period in which the first display area 135SG005F to be excluded is once whitened out, the movable body 32 is 32. The movable body movement suggestion effect that suggests moving to the effect position of is executed, and the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display with the fluctuation pattern of super reach β (the reach effect of super reach β is executed). In the case of variable display), the movable body 32 is further retracted after the above-described movable body movement suggestion effect is executed during the period in which the first display area 135SG005F excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is once whitened out. A movable body motion effect that moves from the position to the effect position may be executed.

By doing so, during the whiteout period, the player can pay attention to the movement of the movable body 32, and when the movable body 32 moves to the effect position (when the movable body motion effect is executed). Can notify the player that the reach effect of the super reach β, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the reach effect of the super reach α, is executed by the movable body motion effect, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

For example, when the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α, the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is as shown in FIGS. 40-91 (A) and 40-91 (B). When the variable display is started, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is started. Further, in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, a notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 40-91 (B), 40-92 (C), and 40-92 (D)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 40-93 (E) to 40-94 (H)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 40-94 (H)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the brightness C2 and the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-95 (I) to 40-96 (L), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. The 135SG005F is temporarily whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white). In the present modification 135SG-2, it is suggested that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

As shown in FIGS. 40-90 (A) and 40-96 (K) to 40-97 (N), during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect. Lighting at the brightness C2 and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are completed. Then, as a movable body motion suggestion effect, the movable body 32 repeatedly reciprocates between the retracted position and the suggested position a predetermined number of times (4 reciprocations in the present modification 135SG-2) by a drive mechanism (not shown). Will end and the whiteout period will also end. During the execution period of the movable body motion suggestion effect, the output of the movable body motion suggestion effect sound is executed at the volume V2 instead of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. As the sound corresponding to the motion suggestion effect of the movable body, a sound effect that allows the player to recognize that the movable body 32 is repeatedly moving between the retracted position and the suggested position (for example, a sound effect such as "rattling"). ) Etc. should be output.

As shown in FIGS. 40-90 (A), 40-98 (O), and 40-98 (P), the image display device 5 superimposes from the timing at which the movable body motion suggestion effect and the whiteout are completed. Along with the start of the reach effect of the reach α, the lighting of the brightness C1 of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in a mode corresponding to the reach effect starts. Then, the speakers 8L and 8R start to output the reach effect compatible sound (BGM or the like different from the variable display compatible sound) corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach α.

When the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β, the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is as shown in FIGS. 40-99 (A) and 40-99 (B). When the variable display is started, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is started. Further, in the variable display, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is continuously executed. Further, during the variable display, a notice effect may be executed (see FIGS. 40-99 (B), 40-100 (C), and 40-100 (D)). Further, since the variable display is a variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at least twice during the variable display (FIGS. 40-101 (E) to 40-102 (H)). reference).

In particular, even in the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the speakers 8L and 8R are used as the flash effect at the time of the latter prize during the period when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (see FIG. 40-102 (H)). The output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are executed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-103 (I) to 40-104 (L), when the start timing of the reach effect is reached due to the progress of the variable display, the first display area excluding the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is reached. The 135SG005F is temporarily whitened out (the effect image displayed in the first display area 135SG005F is temporarily hidden and the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white). In the present modification 135SG-2, it is suggested that the first display area 135SG005F is whitened out, so that the reach effect of the super reach is executed thereafter.

As shown in FIGS. 40-90 (B) and 40-104 (K) to 40-105 (N), during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect. Lighting at the brightness C2 and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S on the image display device 5 are completed. Then, as a movable body movement suggestion effect, the movable body movement suggestion based on the fact that the movable body 32 repeatedly reciprocates between the retracted position and the suggested position a predetermined number of times (4 reciprocations in the present modification 135SG-2) by a drive mechanism (not shown). The production ends. During the execution period of the movable body motion suggestion effect, the output of the movable body motion suggestion effect sound is executed at the volume V2 instead of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. As the sound corresponding to the motion suggestion effect of the movable body, a sound effect that allows the player to recognize that the movable body 32 is repeatedly moving between the retracted position and the suggested position (for example, a sound effect such as "rattling"). ) Etc. should be output.

After the end of the movable body motion suggestion effect, as shown in FIGS. 40-90 (B) and 40-106 (O) to 40-106 (P), the whiteout period ends, and the movable body motion effect is produced. The movable body 32 moves from the retracted position to the effect position by a drive mechanism (not shown). During the period of the movable body operation effect, the flash lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d at the time of winning are set to the brightness C1 in the manner corresponding to the movable body operation effect. Light. Further, although not shown in FIGS. 40-90 (B), the speakers 8L and 8R output the sound corresponding to the motion effect of the movable body at the volume V1 (see FIGS. 40-106 (P)). As the sound corresponding to the movement effect of the movable body in the feature unit 135SG, a sound effect (for example, a sound effect such as "Zudorn") in which the player can recognize that the movable body has moved may be output.

Then, as shown in FIG. 40-107 (Q), the movable body motion effect is completed based on the movable body 32 returning from the effect position to the retracted position. As shown in FIGS. 40-90 (B), 40-107 (Q), and 40-107 (R), the image display device 5 has a super reach from the timing when the movable body motion effect and the whiteout are completed. Along with the start of the reach effect of β, the lighting of the brightness C1 of the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in a mode corresponding to the reach effect is started. , The output of the reach effect corresponding sound corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach β is started from the speakers 8L and 8R. As the reach production compatible sound corresponding to the reach production of the super reach β, the variable display compatible sound and the reach of the super reach α so that the player can recognize that the reach production of the super reach β is being executed. It suffices to output BGM or the like different from the reach production compatible sound corresponding to the production.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-2, in the variable display of the super reach that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is set to the brightness C2 and the period T2 before the start of the reach effect of the super reach. From the start timing of the reach effect of Super Reach, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned on at the brightness C2. That is, when the reach effect is started, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning has the brightness C2 and Since the light is emitted (lights up at the brightness C2) in a mode corresponding to the reach effect instead of the blinking of the cycle T2, the game enjoyment of the reach effect can be improved.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 40-96 (K) to 40-98 (O) and 40-104 (K) to 40-106 (O), the first display area 135SG005F is displayed in white (whiteout). At the same time, during the whiteout period, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned on at the brightness C2 from the subsequent start timing of the reach production of the super reach, so that the flash at the time of winning is used. Since it is possible to prevent the player from giving a sense of discomfort due to a change in the light emitting mode of the lamp 135SG009F, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

Further, when the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β, the movable body motion suggestion effect is executed during the whiteout period, and the movable body motion suggestion effect is executed. The flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned off according to the execution of, and then the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is used for the movable body operation effect according to the execution of the movable body movement effect (movement of the movable body 32 to the effect position). It lights up at brightness C1 in a corresponding manner. That is, since the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is turned on at the brightness C1 with the extinguishing caused by the execution of the movable body motion suggestion effect, the change in the light emitting mode gives the player a sense of discomfort. Since it can be prevented, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which a dialogue notice effect can be executed as a notice effect suggesting that the variable display result becomes a big hit during the variable display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a modification 135SG-3, in addition to the dialogue advance notice effect, the image displayed on the image display device 5 changes stepwise, and a big hit is expected according to the final number of change stages. It may be possible to execute a step-up effect having different degrees, a group notice effect in which a plurality of character groups cross the image display device 5, and the like.

In particular, when the step-up effect can be executed as the modified example 135SG-3, as shown in FIGS. 40-108 (A) and 40-109 (A) to 40-113 (L), at the time of winning a prize. When the step-up effect is executed during the variable display in which the flash effect is not executed, the flash is used at the time of winning at the timing of displaying the image (step-up image) on the image display device 5 or the timing of changing the image stepwise. The effect of the step-up effect may be enhanced by temporarily lighting the lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C2. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 40-108 (B) and 40-114 (A) to 40-118 (F), the step-up effect is executed during the variable display in which the flash effect at the time of winning is executed. At the time, since the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning has already been blinked at the brightness C2 and the cycle T2, the timing of displaying the image (step-up image) on the image display device 5 and the image are changed stepwise. The winning flash lamp 135SG009F is not turned on at the timing, that is, while the winning flash effect is being executed, the winning flash lamp 135SG009F that is already emitting light in a manner corresponding to the winning flash effect is adapted to the step-up effect. The light may not be emitted depending on the embodiment.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-3, when the step-up effect is started in the variable display during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning, that is, the lamp 135SG009F for the flash at the time of winning has the brightness C2 as the flash effect at the time of winning. If the step-up effect of lighting the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is started while the lamp is blinking in the cycle T2, the flashing of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect is prioritized and executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lighting of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in a mode corresponding to the step-up effect from an inappropriate timing such as the end timing of the winning flash effect.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which the movable body 32 is not operated before the start of the reach effect of the super reach is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and before the start of the reach effect of the super reach. Is capable of executing a movable body motion effect of moving the movable body 32 from a retracted position (for example, an upper position of the image display device 5) to an effect position (for example, a central front position in the front view of the image display device 5). As a result, the player may be notified that the reach effect of the super reach is executed.

In this way, when the movable body motion effect can be executed before the reach effect of the super reach, as shown in FIGS. 40-119 (A) and 40-119 (B) as the modified example 135SG-4, When the flash effect at the time of winning is executed for the variable display of the super reach, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the motion effect of the movable body. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on which of the light emitting modes is changed according to the reach effect of the super reach.

For example, as shown in FIG. 40-119 (C), when the variable display result of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is a big hit, the movable body has a ratio of 70% at the start of the variable display. From the operation production start timing, it was decided to change the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the mode corresponding to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect, and the reach effect was started at a rate of 30%. From the timing, it is decided to change the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the mode corresponding to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the reach effect. If the variable display result of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is out of alignment, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts from the movable body operation effect start timing at a rate of 30% at the start of the variable display. It was decided to change the light emitting mode from the mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the motion effect of the movable body, and from the reach production start timing at a rate of 70%, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning. Will be changed from the mode corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emission mode according to the reach effect.

If it is decided to change the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F from the mode corresponding to the winning flash effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect or the light emitting mode according to the reach effect, the determination is made. The process data corresponding to the above may be selected, and the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning may be controlled according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer according to the progress of the variable display.

As described above, in the present modification 135SG-4, the case where the movable body motion effect is being executed and the case where the movable body motion effect is being executed according to the timing of ending the light emitting mode according to the prize flash effect of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F and the super Since there are cases where the reach effect of the reach is being executed, the game determines whether the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning is during the execution period of the moving body motion effect or during the execution period of the reach effect of the super reach. It can be easily recognized by people. In particular, as shown in FIG. 40-119 (C), the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is changed from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect to the start timing of the movable body operation effect according to the movable body operation effect. Since the jackpot expectation differs between the case where the light emitting mode is set and the case where the light emitting mode is set according to the reach effect from the start timing of the reach effect, it is possible to draw attention to the player at the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

In the present modification 135SG-4, the timing at which the flashing lamp 135SG009F for winning as a flash effect at the time of winning ends blinking (changes to a light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect or a light emitting mode according to the reach effect). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko game is not limited to this. It may be possible to suggest the set value set in the machine 1. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the end timing of the flash effect at the time of winning, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-4, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning emits light at either the start of the movable body movement effect during the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, or the start of the reach effect of the super reach. The mode can be changed, and the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the light emitting mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the movable body operation effect from the start timing of the movable body operation effect. Since the jackpot expectation differs depending on the start timing of the reach effect and the case where the light emission mode is set according to the reach effect, the player pays attention to the effect executed at the timing when the light emission mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed. It can be made to improve the game entertainment.

In the modified example 135SG-4, in the variable display of the super reach, a mode in which the movable body motion effect can be executed before the start of the reach effect of the super reach is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, before the execution of the movable body motion effect, the movable body motion suggestion effect suggesting that the movable body motion effect is executed may be executed. In this way, when the movable body motion suggestion effect can be executed before the movable body motion effect is executed, the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F is suggested from the light emitting mode according to the winning flash effect. A case is provided in which the light emitting mode is changed from the start timing of the effect to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion suggestion effect, and the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the light emitting mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on whether the light emitting mode is set according to the movable body motion suggestion effect from the start timing or the light emitting mode is set according to the reach effect from the start timing of the reach effect. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect being executed when the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed, so that the game interest can be improved.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-4, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the light emitting mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emission corresponding to the movable body operation suggestion effect from the start timing of the movable body operation suggestion effect. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and a prize is won. There are cases where the light emission (blinking) of the hour flash lamp 135SG009F ends at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect and the case where the light emission ends at the start timing of the reach effect. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on whether it ends with. In this way, even when a plurality of timings for stopping the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect during the variable display of 1 are provided, the effect control CPU 120 flashes at the time of winning due to the generation of static electricity or the like. If the blinking of the lamp 135SG009F cannot be stopped, the late winning including the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning again at the end timing of the variable display (reception timing of the symbol confirmation command), which is the timing after these timings. The time flash effect should be finished.

By doing so, even if the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect cannot be ended at the start timing of the movable body motion suggestion effect or the start timing of the reach effect, the flash effect at the time of winning can be produced. At the end timing of the variable display of the target, it is possible to end the late winning flash effect including the blinking of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as display patterns of specific display (hold display and active display), a display pattern α which is a white circle having the lowest expectation of big hit and a blue color which has a higher expectation of big hit than the display pattern α. The display pattern β which is a round shape of the above and the display pattern γ which is a red circle whose jackpot expectation is higher than that of the display pattern β are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific display is not limited to this. As the display pattern, a display pattern other than these display patterns α to display pattern γ may be provided.

For example, as shown in FIG. 40-120 as a modified example 135SG-5, as the display pattern of the specific display, in addition to the above-mentioned display patterns α to display pattern γ, either a hold display or a display as an active display is being displayed. Display pattern β or display pattern γ may change at the timing of (Expected change to display pattern β or display pattern γ: low) Display pattern δ, which is a white blinking circle, as a hold display or active display The possibility of changing to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ at any timing during the display of is higher than that of the display pattern δ (expected change to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ: high). Display pattern ε may be provided.

That is, as the display patterns of the hold display and the active display in the modified example 135SG-5, the display pattern γ (red display) has the highest expectation of a big hit for the display patterns α to γ, and the display pattern α (white display). ) Is set with the lowest expectation of big hits. On the other hand, regarding the display pattern δ and the jackpot expectation of the display pattern ε when the display pattern β and the display pattern γ do not change, the jackpot expectation may be set lower than that of the display pattern α, or may be set lower than that of the display pattern α. The jackpot expectation may be set higher and the jackpot expectation may be set lower than the display pattern β.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-5, a display pattern δ or a display pattern ε that may change to a display pattern β or a display pattern γ is provided as a hold display or an active display display pattern. The display pattern α is not limited, and a case may be provided in which the display pattern α changes to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ at a rate lower than that of the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε. Further, the hold display and the active display of the display pattern β may be changed to the display pattern γ.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, whether or not the hold display notice effect (the effect of displaying the hold display or the active display in the display pattern β or the display pattern β) is executed and the display pattern are determined to execute the flash effect at the time of winning. Although the form of determination is illustrated regardless of this, the present invention is not limited to this, and is related to the presence / absence of execution of these hold display notice effects, the determination of the display pattern, and the determination of execution of the flash effect at the time of winning. You may decide.

For example, as shown in FIG. 40-120 as the above-mentioned modified example 135SG-5, when it is decided to execute the flash effect at the time of winning based on the starting winning, as the display mode of the hold display or the active display based on the starting winning. , Display pattern ε is determined at the highest rate, display pattern δ is determined at a rate lower than display pattern ε, display pattern γ is determined at a rate lower than display pattern δ, and display pattern β is determined at a rate lower than display pattern γ. Is also determined at a low rate, and the display pattern α may be determined at the lowest rate (display pattern determination rate at the time of winning flash effect execution decision: display pattern ε> display pattern δ> display pattern γ> display pattern β>. Display pattern α).

As described above, display patterns α to display patterns ε are provided as display modes of the specific display (hold display and active display), and when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the specific display is displayed. Since the rate at which the flash effect at the time of winning is executed is higher than that when the pattern β or the display pattern γ is displayed, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the specific display by executing the flash effect at the time of winning, and the specific display. Since the player can pay attention to whether the display changes from the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ, the game interest can be improved.

Furthermore, the display pattern α is a display pattern that displays the specific display in a white circle, the display pattern β is a display pattern that displays the specific display in a blue circle, and the display pattern γ is a display pattern that displays the specific display in a red circle. Since the display pattern and the display pattern δ are display patterns that display the specific display in a circle that blinks in white, the player can easily identify the difference in the specific display by the display color and the blinking mode.

In the present modification 135SG-5, when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the display pattern of the specific display is displayed by the display pattern β or the display depending on whether or not the flash effect is executed at the time of winning. Although the rate of change to the pattern γ is not described, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the flash effect at the time of winning is displayed in both cases. The rate at which the display pattern of the specific display changes to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ may differ depending on whether or not it is executed. By doing so, when the specific display is displayed in the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the player can pay attention to whether or not the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, so that the game interest is improved. it can.

In the modified example 135SG-5, a display pattern δ that blinks in white is illustrated as a special mode of the specific display in the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific display in the present invention is used. The special mode (display pattern δ) may be a color other than the normal mode or the special mode of the specific display in the present invention, such as white, blue, or red (for example, purple or black).

Further, in the modified example 135SG-5, a mode suggesting that the specific display is changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ by displaying the specific display in the display pattern δ has been illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to execute an action effect that can change the specific display into the display pattern β or the display pattern γ by acting on the specific display displayed by the display pattern δ. ..

In particular, in the case of an action effect, as an effect mode of the action effect, a plurality of effect modes in which the ratio of changing the specific display displayed in the display pattern δ to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ is different ( For example, the first action effect in which the specific display can be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ by acting on the specific display displayed in the display pattern δ, and the action in which the effect mode is different from the first action effect. It is an effect, and by acting on the specific display displayed in the display pattern δ, the specific display can be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ at a higher rate than the first effect effect). , When the second action effect is executed, the flash effect at the time of winning may be executed at a higher rate than when the first action effect is executed.

By doing so, the player can be made to pay attention to whether the action effect is executed by the first action effect or the second action effect, and the action effect is second by executing the flash effect at the time of winning. It is possible to raise the expectation that it will be executed in the action production.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-5, when the specific display is displayed by the display pattern ε, the ratio at which the flash effect at the time of winning is executed is higher than the case where the specific display is displayed by the display pattern δ. When the specific display is displayed in the display pattern ε and the flash effect is executed at the time of winning, the player is asked to change the display pattern of the specific display to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ. Since it can be noticed, it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

Further, in the modified example 135SG-5, a display pattern ε for displaying a character is provided as a display pattern for the specific display (hold display and active display), and an action effect is executed on the character as the specific display. The present invention exemplifies a form in which the display pattern of the specific display can be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as the modified example 135SG-6, the character as the specific display is used. It may act on another character, and as a result of the action, the display pattern of the specific display may be changed to the display pattern β or the display pattern γ.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40-121 (A) and 40-121 (B), when the number of reserved first special figures is 3 and the variable display is in progress, a prize is awarded to the first starting port. When (starting prize) occurs and the display pattern of the holding display based on the starting winning is determined as the display pattern ε as the hold display notice effect based on the starting winning, the fourth piece of the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is determined. The ally character is displayed as the hold display, and the active display displayed in the active display area 135SG005A changes to the enemy character (see FIG. 40-121 (B-1)).

In this state, the variable display ends and a new variable display is started, that is, as shown in FIGS. 40-122 (A) and 40-122 (B), the variable display is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 135SG005D. When the existing ally character (hold display of display pattern ε) moves from the display position of the fourth hold display to the display position of the third hold display, the ally character is displayed in the active display area 135SG005A. Acts on (shoots).

Then, every time the variable display ends again and a new variable display is started, that is, as shown in FIGS. 40-122 (C) and 40-122 (D), the display is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 135SG005D. When the ally character is moving from the display position of the third hold display to the display position of the second hold display, and when the ally character displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is the second hold. When moving from the display position of the display to the display position of the first hold display, the ally character acts (shoots) on the enemy character displayed in the active display area 135SG005A.

Furthermore, when the variable display ends and the variable display, which is the target of the hold display notice effect, is started, the ally character displayed at the display position of the first hold display in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is actively displayed. It moves to the area 135SG005A, and the ally character acts directly on the enemy character in the active display area 135SG005A (a battle effect between the ally character and the enemy character is executed).

Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-123 (G) and 40-123 (H), when the ally character wins as a result of the effect of the battle effect, the ally character displays the display pattern β or in the active display area 135SG005A. The display pattern changes to the active display of γ. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 40-123 (I) and 40-123 (J), when the ally character is defeated as a result of the battle effect, the enemy character or the ally character is displayed in the active display area 135SG005A. It changes to the active display of α.

In the present modification 135SG-6, when the hold display is displayed in the display pattern ε, the ally character as the hold display of the display pattern ε defeats the enemy character in the active display area 135SG005A to display the active display. Although the form in which the ally character that has become can be changed to the active display of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold display is displayed by the display pattern ε. By defeating the enemy character while the hold display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the ally character as the hold display may be changed to the hold display of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ.

Further, when the hold display is displayed in the display pattern ε, the hold display of the display pattern ε is higher in the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is executed than in the case where the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed in both cases. May be changeable to the hold display (or active display) of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ. By doing so, not only can the player pay attention to the battle result between the ally character and the enemy character as the hold display of the display pattern ε, but also the flash effect at the time of winning is executed during the execution of the battle. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention as to whether or not it is present, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the modified example 135SG-5 and the modified example 135SG-6, as display patterns for the hold display and the active display, the display patterns α to the display patterns γ described in the feature unit 135SG have the display pattern δ and the display pattern ε. However, when the hold display or active display is displayed by these display patterns δ or display pattern ε, it is the same as when the hold display or active display is displayed by the display patterns α to γ. The specific display display start effect A or the specific display display start effect B may be executed.

More specifically, when the hold display or the active display is displayed by the display pattern δ, the specific display display start effect A (see FIG. 40-19) is executed as in the case of the display pattern α, and the hold display or the active display is displayed. When displaying with the display pattern ε, the specific display display start effect B (see FIG. 40-20) or the period during which the display of the hold display or the active display is completed is specified as in the case of the display pattern β or the display pattern γ. The specific display display start effect that is longer than the display start effect A and shorter than the specific display display start effect B may be executed. By doing so, when the hold display or the active display is displayed by the display pattern δ or the display pattern ε, the hold display or the active display is displayed from the timing before the display of the hold display or the active display is completed, as in the case of the feature unit 135SG. , The flash effect sound at the time of winning and the light emission of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning will be recognized by the player.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as a flash effect at the time of winning, a mode in which the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, as the modified example 135SG-7, the display mode of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5 may be changed stepwise according to the progress of the flash effect at the time of winning.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 40-124 (A) and 40-124 (B), a prize is awarded to the first start port during variable display in a state where three first special figure hold memories exist. When a start-up prize) occurs and it is decided to execute the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start-up prize, the flash at the time of winning the previous term is as shown in FIG. 40-124 (B). The production starts.

As the flash effect at the time of winning the first term, first, as shown in FIGS. 40-124 (B), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 (V1> V2). , The flash lamp 135SG009F and the game effect lamp 9 are temporarily turned off at the time of winning. Then, as shown in FIGS. 40-125 (C) and 40-125 (D), the effect image 135SG005E is started to be displayed from around the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the image display device 5, and the winning flash is displayed. The blinking control of the lamp 135SG009F, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the stick lamp 135SG00X, and the button lamp 135SG009Y in the cycle T1 is started. In the blinking control, each lamp is lit at a brightness C1 which is higher than the brightness C2.

Further, when the flash effect at the time of winning the first term is started, as shown in FIGS. 40-125 (D), 40-126 (E), and 40-126 (F), the specific display display start effect B described above is used. An animation in which the character A appears from the winning flash lamp 135SG009F whose blinking is controlled is displayed, and an animation in which the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed. Then, after the character A moves to the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the position where the hold display in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is displayed (in the case of the feature unit 135SG, the fourth hold). An animation that attacks (acts) on the display position) is displayed.

After the character A acts on the first hold storage display area 135SG005D, the hold display, which is the target of the running flash effect at the time of winning (the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term), gradually appears from the bottom to the top at the affected position. The appearance animation is displayed (see FIGS. 40-20 (D-1) to 40-20 (D-5)). The hold display for which the appearance animation in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D has been completed shifts to the rotation display as the other hold display as the specific display rotation display effect.

When the flash effect at the time of winning the first half is completed, the flash effect at the time of winning the second half is started from the end timing. As shown in FIGS. 40-127 (G) and 40-127 (H), the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is started from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2. , Blinking in the brightness C2 and cycle T2 (cycle T2> cycle T1) of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, blinking in the brightness C2 and cycle T2 of the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y (FIG. 40-). 27 (A) to blinking in the manner shown in FIGS. 40-27 (D)), the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S of the character A around the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning in the image display device 5 is started at regular intervals. The lamp.

The blinking of the game effect lamp 9 excluding the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y in the brightness C2 and the cycle T2 is a color corresponding to the background image of the image display device 5 (for example, if the background image is a daytime image). Gradation with bluish colors, if the background image is an evening image, gradation with reddish colors, etc.) is executed.

The cycle T2, which is the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, is a cycle longer than the above-mentioned cycle T1 but shorter than the above-mentioned cycle T0 (length of lamp blinking cycle: T0> T2). > T1). It should be noted that the stick lamp 135SG009X and the button lamp 135SG009Y are not turned on during the execution of the flash effect at the time of the late winning.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-128 (I) and 40-128 (J), when the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed on the image display device 5, the active display area 135SG005A of the image display device 5 is excluded. 1 The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B having transparency over the entire display area 135SG005F is overlapped and displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 40-128 (J), 40-129 (K), and 40-129 (L), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the small size are displayed on the image display device 5. The symbol 135SG005M is derived and displayed in a combination indicating disconnection (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. It should be noted that the flash effect at the time of the late winning in the present modification 135SG-7 is executed regardless of whether or not it is the symbol determination period. That is, as shown in FIGS. 40-128 (J), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is duplicated and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period, and the speakers 8L and 8R display the silhouette image 135SG005S. At the time of winning, the flash effect compatible sound is output at the volume V2.

When the symbol confirmation period ends, a new variable display is started. At this time, in the image display device 5, the hold display first displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is moved to the active display area 135SG005A as the active display and is displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The display position of the remaining hold display is shifted to the right by one. Further, the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 is also started.

In the variable display, as shown in FIGS. 40-129 (K) and 40-129 (L), the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed together with the black image 135SG005B on the image display device 5 is larger than the previous variable display. It may be displayed. By displaying the silhouette image 135SG005S larger than the previous variable display in this way, the silhouette image is duplicated in the active display area 135SG005A.

As shown in FIGS. 40-130 (M) and 40-130 (N), when the variable display is completed based on the reception of the symbol confirmation command, the decorative symbol and the small symbol 135SG005M are combined to indicate that they are out of alignment in the image display device 5. The derivation display is performed (displayed in a state where the variable display is stopped), and the output of the variable display compatible sound from the speakers 8L and 8R is stopped. At this time, the active display is deleted from the active display area 135SG005A. Even during the symbol confirmation period, the flash effect at the time of the late winning is executed. That is, as shown in FIGS. 40-130 (N), the silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed in a state where the black image 135SG005B is duplicated and displayed on the image display device 5 even during the symbol determination period. In particular, the silhouette image 135SG005S is also displayed overlapping with the active display area 135SG005A. Further, from the speakers 8L and 8R, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output at the volume V2.

In this modified example 135SG-7, one of two silhouette images 135SG005S having different sizes can be displayed as the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed by the image display device 5 as a flash effect at the time of winning, and a large size silhouette can be displayed. When the image 135SG005S is displayed, the embodiment in which the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A are displayed in an overlapping manner is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the silhouette image 135SG005S having a large size is not limited to this. And the active display area 135SG005A may be displayed in duplicate only when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is executed. By doing so, the player can easily recognize the variable display corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, and the silhouette image 135SG005S hides the active display area 135SG005A, that is, the active display corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning. Therefore, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness and improve the game interest.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-7, the silhouette image 135SG005S having a different size can be displayed on the image display device 5 as a flash effect at the time of winning, and is active with the silhouette image 135SG005S according to the size of the displayed silhouette image 135SG005S. Since the overlapping mode with the display area 135SG005A is different, the game entertainment can be improved.

In the modified example 135SG-7, the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A may or may not overlap depending on the size of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5. The present invention is not limited to this, and the overlapping area between the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A differs depending on the size of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5 (for example, active display). A case where only a part of the area 135SG005A overlaps with the silhouette image 135SG005S, a case where the entire area of the active display area 135SG005A overlaps with the silhouette image 135SG005S, etc. may be provided.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-7, a case where the silhouette image 135SG005S and the active display area 135SG005A overlap according to the size of the silhouette image 135SG005S displayed on the image display device 5 is provided. Before the variable display, which is the target of the winning flash effect, is started, it overlaps with the hold display, which is the target of the winning flash effect displayed in the first hold storage display area 135SG005D. The silhouette image 135SG005S is displayed so as to be performed, and while the variable display that is the target of the winning flash effect is being executed, it overlaps with the active display that is the target of the winning flash effect displayed in the active display area 135SG005A. The silhouette image 135SG005S may be displayed. By doing so, the player can easily recognize the hold display and the active display corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning, and the silhouette image 135SG005S hides not only the hold display but also the active display. It is possible to further improve the game entertainment by giving it even more unexpectedness.

In the modified example 135SG-7, a form in which only one of the hold display and the active display is hidden by the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning is illustrated, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, there may be a case where both the hold display and the active display are hidden by the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-7, a form in which the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning can be displayed in an overlapping manner in the active display area 135SG005A and the first hold storage display area 135SG005D is illustrated, but the present invention illustrates the form. The present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the pseudo continuous effect is executed in the variable display during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning as illustrated in the feature unit 135SG, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, "middle" is displayed. The silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning may be overlapped and displayed on the special symbol (see FIGS. 40-40, etc.) stopped in the decorative symbol display area 5C. By doing so, the silhouette image 135SG005S as a flash effect at the time of winning hides the special symbol for notifying the temporary stop, so that the player can be surprised and the game entertainment can be improved.

In the modified example 135SG-7, as the revariable display effect in the present invention, a mode in which the special symbol is stopped in the decorative symbol display area 5C of "medium" is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, as the revariable display effect, an image different from the special symbol may be displayed on the image display device 5, and the silhouette image 135SG005S as the flash effect at the time of winning may be displayed overlapping with the image.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, if a start winning to the first starting port occurs during the execution of the reach effect of the super reach, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning based on the start winning is not determined (decided to be non-execution). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 135SG-8, when a start winning prize is generated to the first starting port during execution of the variable display, the variable display is performed. If the specified period is equal to or less than the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term, the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning may not be determined (determined to be non-execution). By doing so, when the remaining period of the variable display is shorter than or equal to the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term, the flash effect at the time of winning (flash effect at the time of winning the previous term) is executed, so that the flash at the time of winning is flashed. It is possible to prevent the specific display (hold display or active display) of the target of the effect from becoming difficult to understand.

In the modified example 135SG-8, a mode in which whether or not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning is determined based on the remaining period of the variable display and the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term is illustrated. Is not limited to this, and whether or not to execute the flash effect at the time of winning depends on the period other than the remaining period of the variable display and the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the previous term (for example, 5 seconds or 10 seconds). ) And may be used as a reference.

Further, in the present modification 135SG-8, when a start winning prize is generated to the first starting port during the execution of the variable display, the remaining period of the variable display is specified, and the specified period is the flash effect at the time of the previous term winning. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specified period is equal to or less than the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning in the previous term. In the case of, the flash effect at the time of winning may be executed from the start timing of the next variable display, provided that the variable display result of the variable display is out of alignment. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the reach effect of the super reach and the flash effect at the time of winning from being deteriorated due to the overlapping execution of the reach effect of the super reach and the flash effect at the time of winning.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as the light emitting mode of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect, the blinking in the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 (light emitting mode in the flash effect in the previous term winning) and the brightness C2 and the cycle T2. There are two light emitting modes, that is, blinking (light emitting mode in the flash effect at the time of late winning). On the other hand, as the light emission mode of the start port lamp 135SG009S in the start port lamp light emission effect, blue light emission at the brightness C2 according to the display pattern β and red light emission at the brightness C2 according to the display pattern γ are included. It is provided. That is, the feature unit 135SG exemplifies a form in which the number of light emitting modes of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect and the number of light emitting modes of the starting port lamp 135SG009S in the starting port lamp light emitting effect are the same. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 135SG-9, the number of light emitting modes of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect and the light emission of the starting port lamp 135SG009S in the starting port lamp light emitting effect. It may be different from the number of modes.

In particular, as shown in the modified example 135SG-5, a display pattern δ and a display pattern ε are provided as display patterns for the hold display and the active display, and these display patterns δ are provided as the light emission mode of the start port lamp 135SG009S in the start port lamp light emission effect. Even if the number of light emitting modes of the starting port lamp 135SG009S in the starting port lamp light emitting effect is set to be larger than the number of light emitting modes of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F in the winning flash effect by providing the light emitting mode according to the display pattern ε. Good. By doing so, the variation of the light emission of the start port lamp 135SG009S increases, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is emitted as a flash effect at the time of winning and the start port lamp 135SG009S is emitted at the start port lamp emission effect is exemplified, but the present invention is limited thereto. However, as a modified example 135SG-10, even if the light emitting region where the winning flash lamp 135SG009F emits light as the winning flash effect is provided larger than the light emitting region where the starting port lamp 135SG009S emits as the starting port lamp light emitting effect. Good.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, when the execution of both the flash effect at the time of winning and the hold display notice effect is decided based on the starting prize, the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning generates the starting prize. The start lamp 135SG009S emits light until the start timing of the reach effect of the variable display, which is the target of the start prize flash effect, while the start port lamp 135SG009S is the target of the hold display notice effect after the start prize occurs (at the time of winning). Since it emits light until the end of the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect), by applying the modified example 135SG-10, the light emission corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is executed for an excessively long time. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation that the start port lamp 135SG009S is controlled to the jackpot game state by the light emitting mode of the start port lamp 135SG009S, while preventing the deterioration of the game interest due to the above.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, a mode in which the start port lamp 135SG009S is made to emit light without blinking is illustrated as a start port lamp light emission effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the start is started as a start port lamp light emission effect. The mouth lamp 135SG009S may be blinked. Further, when the start port lamp 135SG009S is blinked as the start port lamp light emitting effect in this way, the blinking cycle of the start port lamp 135SG009S is set to the blinking cycle (cycle T2) of the winning flash lamp 135SG009F as the winning flash effect. It may be different. By making the blinking cycle of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning different from the blinking cycle of the start port lamp 135SG009S in this way, the player pays attention to both the blinking of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and the blinking of the start port lamp 135SG009S. It can be made to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, etc. are temporarily turned off. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 135SG-11, when a flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the brightness of the backlight or the like once built in the image display device 5 is used. The flash effect at the time of winning may be started after the visibility of the image displayed on the image display device 5 is lowered by lowering. In this way, when the flash effect at the time of winning is executed, the player can easily recognize the start of the flash effect at the time of winning by reducing the visibility of the image displayed on the image display device 5.

In the present modification 135SG-11, the visibility of the image displayed on the image display device 5 is lowered by lowering the brightness of the backlight or the like built in the image display device 5, that is, the image display. An example is illustrated in which the image display device 5 is changed to a low visibility state having lower visibility than the immediately preceding state by changing the brightness of the device 5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the image is not limited to this. As a form of reducing the visibility of the image displayed on the display device 5, in addition to lowering the 5 brightness (brightness) of the image display device, the display of the image on the image display device 5 is temporarily stopped. The movable body 32 is operated in front of the image display device 5, the image display device 5 itself is repeatedly operated in the vertical direction and the like, and the image display device 5 is relatively displayed by increasing the brightness of the game effect lamp 9. It may be something that reduces the visibility of the image.

That is, the "low visibility state" in the present invention means a state in which the visibility of the image display device 5 is lower than that of the immediately preceding state, by a method other than the reduction of the brightness of the image display device 5. Some of them reduce the visibility of the image.

Further, in the feature unit 135SG, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, when the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided according to the start winning, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning starts from the speakers 8L and 8R. An example is shown in which the flash lamp 135SG009F starts blinking at the time of winning, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 135SG-12, a flash effect at the time of winning is produced according to the starting prize. When execution is decided, after the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display and the active display is completed. You may. By doing so, it is possible to promptly make the player aware that the start winning is generated by the blinking (light emission) of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning and that the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning is decided. You can improve the game entertainment.

In this modified example 135SG-12, after the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the appearance animation of the hold display and the active display is completed. Although the embodiment is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning starts blinking, the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning is output from the speakers 8L and 8R and is displayed on hold. The appearance animation of the active display may be started.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 40-28, the feature unit 135SG outputs the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning, and is used for the flash at the time of winning. The brightness C1 of the lamp 135SG009F and the blinking in the cycle T1, the effect image 135SG005E is displayed on the image display device 5, and the volume of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the latter prize. An example is illustrated in which the output in V2, the brightness C2 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, the blinking in the period T2, and the display of the silhouette image 135SG005S in the image display device 5 are repeatedly executed, but the present invention is limited thereto. As a modified example 135SG-13, even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, when the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is started, it is the same as during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize. , Output at the volume V1 of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R, blinking at the brightness C1 and the cycle T1 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and temporarily display the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5. You may. By doing so, even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the second prize, the output of the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1 and the flash at the time of winning are the same as the flash effect at the time of the first prize. The player recognizes that the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started by executing the blinking of the lamp 135SG009F at the brightness C1 and the period T1 and the display of the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5. Since it can be made easier, the game entertainment can be improved.

In the present modification 135SG-13, even during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of winning the second half, when the variable display that is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning is started, it is the same as during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the first prize. The speaker 8L and 8R temporarily output the sound corresponding to the flash effect at the time of winning at the volume V1, the brightness C1 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and the blinking at the cycle T1, and the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5 is temporarily executed. Although the embodiment is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display, which is the target of the flash effect at the time of winning, is started during the execution period of the flash effect at the time of the late winning, at the time of winning by the speakers 8L and 8R. Output of the flash effect compatible sound at volume V1, blinking at the brightness C1 and period T1 of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning, and executing only one or two of the display of the effect image 135SG005E on the image display device 5. You may do so.

Further, as the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present specification, the jackpot probability differs depending on the set value (FIGS. 31 to 39), and the hold display notice effect and the flash effect at the time of winning are performed based on the starting prize. It is feasible, and the change in the light emitting mode as the flash effect at the time of winning differs depending on the lamp (feature part 135SG, FIGS. 40-1 to 40-68), and the flash effect at the time of winning during the variable display symbol determination period. (Modified example 135SG-1, Fig. 40-69 to Fig. 40-89), it is possible to execute the reach production of super reach with different jackpot expectations, and the movable body moves before the reach production with high jackpot expectations. The effect can be executed, and when the movable body motion effect is executed, the light emitting mode of the flash lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is changed from the start timing of the movable body motion effect to the light emitting mode corresponding to the movable body motion effect. (Modification 2, FIGS. 40-90 to 40-107), the step-up effect can be executed during the variable display, and when the step-up effect is executed when the flash effect at the time of winning is not executed, the flash at the time of winning is executed. While the lamp 135SG009F is made to emit light in a manner corresponding to the step-up effect, when the step-up effect is executed during the execution of the flash effect at the time of winning, the light emitting mode of the lamp 135SG009F at the time of winning is used as the flash effect at the time of winning. A lamp that does not change from the corresponding light emitting mode (modification example 135SG-3, FIGS. 40-108 to 40-118), a movable body motion effect can be executed before the start of the reach effect of the super reach, and a flash lamp at the time of winning. When the light emitting mode of 135SG009F changes from the light emitting mode according to the flash effect at the time of winning to the light emitting mode according to the movable body motion effect from the start timing of the movable body motion effect, and according to the reach effect from the start timing of the reach effect. A display pattern α to a display pattern ε is provided as a display mode of the hold display or the active display, and the jackpot expectation is different depending on the case where the light emission mode is changed (modification example 135SG-4, FIG. 40-119). Depending on the decision to execute the flash effect at the time of winning due to the winning, the ratio of which display pattern is determined as the display pattern of the hold display or the active display differs (modification example 135SG-5, FIG. 40-). 120) When the display pattern ε is determined as the display pattern of the hold display, the display pattern ε is displayed from the display pattern ε according to the execution of the action effect. A silhouette image that changes to any of the turn α to the display pattern γ (modification example 135SG-6, FIGS. 40-121 to 40-123), and is displayed on the image display device 5 according to the progress of the flash effect at the time of winning. Although the display mode of the 135SG005S changes (modification example 135SG-7, FIGS. 40-124 to 40-130), the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention has a plurality of features and modifications thereof. From the example, two or more feature portions and modified examples may be combined and carried out.
