Supply power. Further, the MPU 62 is a plurality of detection sensors 67a to 67e provided in various winning openings such as the general winning opening 32, the first starting opening 33, the second starting opening 34, the through gate 35, and the variable winning device 36. It is connected to the detection sensor, and it is determined whether or not a game ball flowing down the game area PA during the game has won a prize in each winning opening. Further, the MPU 62 executes a big hit lottery based on the winning of the first starting port 33 and the second starting port 34, and executes the electric accessory opening lottery based on the winning of the through gate 35.

On the output side of the MPU 62, a variable winning drive unit 36c that opens and closes the opening / closing door 36b of the variable winning device 36, an electric accessory driving unit 34b that opens and closes the electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34, and a main display. The unit 45 is connected. Various driver circuits are provided on the main control board 61, and the MPU 62 executes drive control of various drive units through the driver circuits.

Specifically, the MPU 62 executes drive control of the variable winning drive unit 36c so that the opening / closing door 36b is opened / closed in the opening / closing execution mode. Further, when the electric accessory opening is won as a result of the electric accessory opening lottery, the MPU 62 executes the drive control of the electric accessory driving unit 34b so that the electric accessory 34a is opened. In each game, the MPU 62 executes display control of the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b in the main display unit 45, and in the open / close execution mode, the round display unit 39 in the main display unit 45. Display control of.

Further, the payout control device 70 and the voice emission control device 90 are connected to the transmission side of the MPU 62. For example, a prize ball command is transmitted from the main control device 60 to the payout control device 70 based on the winning determination result. When the main control device 60 transmits the prize ball command, the MPU 62 refers to the command information storage area 63f of the ROM 63. Specifically, when a prize is specified for the general prize opening 32, a prize ball command corresponding to the payout of 10 game balls is transmitted from the main control device 60, and the prize for the first starting port 33 is specified. In that case, a prize ball command corresponding to the payout of three game balls is transmitted from the main control device 60, and when a prize is specified for the second starting port 34, one game ball is paid out. The prize ball command is transmitted from the main control device 60. The payout control device 70 controls the payout device 71 to pay out the prize balls based on the prize ball command received from the main control device 60. A launch control device 80 is connected to the payout control device 70. The launch control device 80 controls the launch of the game ball launch mechanism 81. The game ball launch mechanism 81 is driven when predetermined launch conditions are met.

The voice emission control device 90 receives various commands transmitted from the main control device 60, and executes processing corresponding to the received various commands. When the main control device 60 transmits various commands, the command information storage area 63f of the ROM 63 is referred to. Details of these various commands will be described later.

In addition, the voice emission control device 90 controls the drive of various lamps 47 composed of light emitting means such as LEDs arranged on the front door frame 14 and the drive control of the speaker 46 based on various commands received from the main control device 60. And controls the display control device 100. Further, the effect operation button 24 is connected to the voice emission control device 90, and when the effect operation button 24 is operated by the player at a predetermined timing, the game effect reflecting the operation is performed. It controls various lamps 47, speakers 46, display control device 100, and the like.

The display control device 100 executes the display control of the symbol display device 41 based on various commands received from the voice emission control device 90. Specifically, the display control device 100 grasps the display duration of the symbol on the symbol display device 41 and the type of combination of symbols to be finally stopped and displayed based on various commands received from the voice emission control device 90. At the same time, the presence or absence of reach, the content of the reach effect, the content of the advance notice effect executed in each game, and the like are grasped.
The electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 has been described above.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the contents of various counters used for big hit lottery and the like. The various counter information is used when the MPU 62 performs a big hit lottery, a display setting of the main display unit 45, a symbol display setting of the symbol display device 41, and the like. Specifically, the jackpot random number counter C1 is used for the jackpot lottery, and the jackpot type counter C2 is used when determining the jackpot type such as the probability variation jackpot result or the normal jackpot result, and the symbol to be displayed on the symbol display device 41 is used. The reach random number counter C3 is used for the reach lottery for whether or not to generate the reach when the row is changed, and the random number initial value counter CINI is used for setting the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. Further, the variable type counter CS is used when determining the display duration in the first result display unit 37a and the second result display unit 37b of the main display unit 45, and the symbol display device 41. Further, the electric accessory opening counter C4 is used for the electric accessory opening lottery for whether or not to open the electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34.

Each of the counters C1 to C3, CINI, CS, and C4 is a loop counter in which 1 is added to the counter value each time the counter is updated, and the counter value returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in the lottery counter buffer 64a set in a predetermined area of the RAM 64.

The RAM 64 is provided with a hold information storage area 64b. The hold information storage area 64b is composed of a first result display unit hold area Ra, a second result display unit hold area Rb, an execution area AE, and a total hold quantity storage area. When the game balls sequentially win the first starting port 33 or the second starting port 34, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 at the winning timing are chronologically stored in the hold information storage area 64b. Stored in.

The details of the jackpot random number counter C1 will be described. The jackpot random number counter C1 is used for the jackpot lottery as described above. The jackpot random number counter C1 is configured to, for example, add 1 in order within the range of 0 to 599, reach the maximum value, and then return to 0. Further, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the jackpot random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599).

The jackpot random number counter C1 is periodically updated, and the updated value is stored in the hold information storage area 64b of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the first start port 33 or the second start port 34. Specifically, the updated value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit of the hold information storage area 64b at the timing when the game ball wins in the first start port 33, and is stored in the second start port 33. When the game ball wins in 34, it is stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit of the hold information storage area 64b. The value of the random number that wins the jackpot is stored as a winning / losing table in the winning / failing table storage area 63a of the ROM 63.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a hit / miss table stored in the hit / miss table storage area 63a. The pachinko machine 10 is set with a low probability mode and a high probability mode as a lottery mode for a jackpot lottery. FIG. 7 (a) shows a pass / fail table for the low probability mode, and FIG. 7 (b) shows a pass / fail table for the high probability mode. As shown in FIG. 7A, the value of the random numbers for winning the jackpot is two under the gaming state in which the winning / failing table for the low probability mode is referred to in the jackpot lottery. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, the value of the random numbers for winning the jackpot is 21 under the gaming state in which the winning / failing table for the high probability mode is referred to in the jackpot lottery. Further, the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 that wins the jackpot in the low probability mode is included in the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 that wins the jackpot in the high probability mode. If the winning probability of the high-probability mode is higher than that of the low-probability mode, the number and value of the winning random numbers are arbitrary.

Next, the details of the jackpot type counter C2 will be described. The jackpot type counter C2 is used when determining a jackpot type such as a probabilistic jackpot or a normal jackpot. The jackpot type counter C2 has a configuration in which 1 is added in order within the range of 0 to 29, and after reaching the maximum value, it returns to 0. The jackpot type counter C2 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold information storage area 64b of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the first start port 33 or the second start port 34. More specifically, at the timing when the game ball wins in the first start port 33, it is stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit of the hold information storage area 64b (RAM 64), and the game ball wins in the second start port 34. It is stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit of the hold information storage area 64b (RAM 64) at the timing.

Here, the jackpot type in the pachinko machine 10 will be described. A plurality of types of jackpots can be set in the pachinko machine 10. Specifically, for example, a plurality of types of jackpots can be set by providing differences in the following three modes or modes.
(1) Mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 36 in the opening / closing execution mode (2) Lottery mode of the jackpot lottery after the opening / closing execution mode ends (3) The electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34 after the opening / closing execution mode ends Support mode

In the pachinko machine 10, as the mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 36 in the above (1) opening / closing execution mode, the frequency of winning the variable winning device 36 from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode The high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode can be set so that is relatively high or low. For example, in the high-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing door 36b is opened / closed 15 times from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is until 30 seconds have elapsed or the number of winnings to the opening / closing door 36b is 10. It can be set to continue until the number is reached. On the other hand, in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing door 36b is opened / closed twice from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is until 0.2 sec elapses or the number of winnings to the opening / closing door 36b. Can be set to continue until there are six.

When the operation handle 25 is operated by the player, the game ball launch mechanism 81 is driven and controlled so that one game ball is fired toward the game area PA every 0.6 sec. In the case of the above specific example, in the low frequency winning mode, the opening time of the opening / closing door 36b at one time is 0.2 sec. That is, in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening time of the opening / closing door 36b once is shorter than the firing cycle of the game ball. Therefore, in the open / close execution mode in which the low-frequency winning mode is applied, the winning of the game ball does not substantially occur. However, it may be set so that the winning of the game ball can occur even in the opening / closing execution mode related to the low frequency winning mode.

The number of times the opening / closing door 36b is opened / closed, the opening limit time for one opening, and the number of opening limits for one opening are determined by winning the variable winning device 36 from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode. If the frequency of occurrence of the above is higher in the high-frequency winning mode than in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening mode of the opening / closing door 36b is arbitrary. Specifically, if the high-frequency winning mode has more opening and closing times than the low-frequency winning mode, the opening limit time for one opening is long, or the number of opening limits for one opening is set to be large. Good. In order to clarify the difference between the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing execution mode of the low-frequency winning mode may be configured so that the variable winning device 36 is not substantially won.

The pachinko machine 10 has, as a mode of the lottery mode of the big hit lottery after the end of the above-mentioned (2) opening / closing execution mode, a probability variation lottery mode in which a big hit lottery is performed using a high probability win / loss table as a win / loss table, and a win / loss table. It is possible to set a normal lottery mode in which a big hit lottery is performed using a winning / failing table for low probability. As explained with reference to FIG. 7, the case where the jackpot lottery is performed using the high-probability winning / failing table is compared with the case where the jackpot lottery is performed using the low-probability winning / failing table, and the jackpot is won. There is a high probability of doing so.

In the pachinko machine 10, as a mode of the support mode of the electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34 after the end of the above-mentioned (3) opening / closing execution mode, the pachinko machine 10 continues to launch the game ball in the same manner with respect to the game area PA. The high-frequency support mode and the low-frequency support mode are used so that the frequency with which the electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34 is opened per unit time is relatively high or low when compared in the above-mentioned situations. Can be set.

Specifically, the high-frequency support mode and the low-frequency support mode have the same probability of winning the electric role opening in the electric accessory opening lottery using the electric accessory opening counter C4, but in the high-frequency support mode, the probability of winning the electric role opening is the same. Compared to the low-frequency support mode, the number of times the electric accessory 34a is opened when the electric combination opening is won may be set more often, and one opening time may be set longer. In addition, when the electric accessory 34a is opened multiple times in the high frequency support mode, the closing time from the end of one open state to the start of the next open state is It may be set shorter than one opening time. Furthermore, in the high-frequency support mode, the minimum secured time for the next electric accessory opening lottery after one electric accessory opening lottery is performed is set shorter than in the low-frequency support mode. You may.

As described above, in the high frequency support mode, the probability that a prize is generated in the second starting port 34 is higher than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, the probability of winning the first starting port 33 is higher than that of the second starting port 34, but in the high frequency support mode, the second start is higher than that of the first starting port 33. The probability that a prize will be given to the mouth 34 increases. When a prize is won in the second starting port 34, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Therefore, in the high frequency support mode, the player plays the game while not reducing the number of balls held so much. Can be done.

The configuration in which the high-frequency support mode is set to the electric service open state more frequently than the low-frequency support mode is not limited to the above, and for example, the electric power in the electric accessory opening lottery. It may be configured to increase the probability of winning the winning combination. In addition, in a configuration in which a plurality of types of securing times are prepared for the next electric accessory opening lottery after one electric accessory opening lottery is performed, the frequency is low in the high frequency support mode. It may be set so that a shorter reservation time is more easily selected or the average reservation time is shorter than the support mode. Furthermore, the number of times of opening is increased, the opening time is lengthened, and the securing time secured for the next electric accessory opening lottery after one electric accessory opening lottery is performed is shortened (that is,). , Shortening the duration of one display in the normal drawing unit 38), shortening the average time of the secured time, and increasing the winning probability, any one or any combination of conditions shall be applied. Therefore, the advantage of the high frequency support mode over the low frequency support mode may be enhanced.

As described above, the pachinko machine 10 can be set with a plurality of types of jackpots. In the present embodiment, when a jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery, a plurality of types of jackpots are sorted by using the jackpot type counter C2. The distribution destination of the jackpot type corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is stored as a distribution table in the distribution table storage area 63b of the ROM 63.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the contents of the distribution table set in the pachinko machine 10. FIG. 8A shows a distribution table for the first result display unit, and FIG. 8B shows a distribution table for the second result display unit.

As shown in the distribution table for the first result display unit of FIG. 8A, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot types based on the first starting port 33 are 8R normal jackpot, 16R normal jackpot, and 8R. Probability change jackpot and 16R probability variation jackpot are set. In the 8R normal jackpot and the 16R normal jackpot, the mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 36 in the opening / closing execution mode is the high frequency winning mode, and the winning / failing lottery mode after the end of the opening / closing execution mode is the low probability mode. It is a big hit that the support mode after the end of is the high frequency support mode. The high-frequency support mode in the 8R normal jackpot and the 16R normal jackpot shifts to the low-frequency support mode when the number of games reaches the end reference number (specifically, 100 times) after the transition to the high-frequency support mode.

In the 8R probability variation jackpot and the 16R probability variation jackpot, the mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 36 in the opening / closing execution mode is the high frequency winning mode, and the winning / failing lottery mode after the end of the opening / closing execution mode is the high probability mode. It is a big hit that the support mode after the end of is the high frequency support mode. The high frequency support mode for the 8R probability variation jackpot and the 16R probability variation jackpot will continue until the next jackpot winning.

In the distribution table for the first result display unit, among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of "0 to 29", "0 to 5" corresponds to 8R normal jackpot, and "6 to 8" corresponds to 16R normal. It corresponds to the jackpot, "9 to 23" corresponds to the 8R probability variation jackpot, and "24 to 29" corresponds to the 16R probability variation jackpot.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, four types of jackpots are set as the types of jackpots. Therefore, the mode of jackpot is diversified. When comparing these four types of jackpots, the degree of advantage for the player is that the 16R probability variation jackpot is the highest, the 8R probability variation jackpot is the next highest, then the 16R normal jackpot, and finally the 8R normal jackpot. By setting a plurality of types of jackpots having different advantages for the player in this way, it is possible to suppress the monotonization of the game and increase the degree of attention to the game.

Next, as shown in the distribution table for the second result display unit of FIG. 8B, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot types based on the second starting port 34 are 8R normal jackpot and 16R normal jackpot. A jackpot, an 8R probability variation jackpot, and a 16R probability variation jackpot are set. In the distribution table for the second result display unit, among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of "0 to 29", "0 to 2" corresponds to 8R normal jackpot, and "3 to 8" corresponds to 16R normal. It corresponds to the jackpot, "9 to 14" corresponds to the 8R probability variation jackpot, and "15 to 29" corresponds to the 16R probability variation jackpot. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the distribution mode of the jackpot type when the jackpot is won is the case where the jackpot is won based on the winning of the first starting port 33 and the second. It is different from the case where the jackpot is won based on the winning of the starting port 34.

On the other hand, in both the distribution table for the first result display unit and the distribution table for the second result display unit, the probability of being distributed to the probabilistic jackpot is the same when the jackpot is won. That is, in both the distribution table for the first result display unit and the distribution table for the second result display unit, the number of values of the jackpot type counter C2 assigned to the 16R probability variation jackpot and the allocation to the 8R probability variation jackpot. The total number of the values of the jackpot type counter C2, which is the same, is 21 in each case. However, the probability of occurrence of the 16R probability variation jackpot, which has the highest degree of advantage for the player among the probability variation jackpots, is higher when the jackpot is won based on the winning of the second starting port 34. It will be higher than if you win a big hit based on the prize.

As described above, the distribution mode of the jackpot type between the first starting port 33 and the second starting port 34 is provided with a clear difference in the advantage for the player. Therefore, the player plays the game while expecting that the second starting port 34 of the first starting port 33 and the second starting port 34 will be awarded a prize. If the result is lost in the winning / failing lottery, the mode does not shift to the open / close execution mode, and the winning / losing lottery mode and the support mode do not change.

As described above, the MPU 62 performs a jackpot lottery using the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE, and also uses the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE to perform the jackpot type. Further, the MPU 62 uses the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and the value of the jackpot type counter C2 to stop the symbol displayed on the first result display unit 37a and the second result display unit 37b. To determine. In making the determination, the stop result table stored in the stop result table storage area 63e of the ROM 63 is referred to.

Next, the details of the reach random number counter C3 will be described. The reach random number counter C3 has a configuration in which, for example, 1 is added in order within the range of 0 to 238, and after reaching the maximum value, it returns to 0. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold information storage area 64b of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the first start port 33 or the second start port 34. Specifically, the update value of the reach random number counter C3 is stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins in the first start port 33, and the game ball is stored in the second start port 34. At the timing of winning, the updated value of the reach random number counter C3 is stored in the holding area Rb for the second result display unit of the RAM 64. Then, the value of the reach random number counter C3 stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit or the hold area Rb for the second result display unit is moved to the execution area AE, and then the reach determination table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 is moved. It is collated with the reach determination table stored in, and it is determined whether or not to generate reach. However, when the jackpot is won as a result of the jackpot lottery and the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode, the MPU 62 determines the reach generation regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3.

Reach means that for some of the plurality of symbol strings displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 41, some combinations of symbols corresponding to the jackpot may be established, and some combinations of symbols are stopped. It is a display state in which the symbols are displayed and the remaining symbols are displayed in a variable manner. The combination of symbols corresponding to the jackpot in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment means a combination of the same symbols on a predetermined effective line. Specifically, on the display surface 41a of FIG. 4B, the symbol is first stopped and displayed in the symbol row Z1, and then the same symbol as Z1 is stopped and displayed in the symbol row Z3 to form a reach line. In the situation where the reach line is formed, the symbol is varied and displayed in the symbol row Z2 to reach the reach. Then, when a big hit occurs, the same symbol as the symbol forming the reach line is stopped and displayed in the symbol row Z2.

In addition, in the reach, with the reach line formed, the remaining symbol rows are displayed in a variable manner, and a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on the background screen to produce a reach effect. A combination of symbols on which a reach line is formed is reduced or hidden, and then a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on substantially the entire display surface 41a to perform a reach effect. Further, when the reach effect is performed or whether or not the notice display using a predetermined image such as a predetermined character is performed before the reach display is performed, the reach random number counter C3 or other counters are used to determine. You may.

Next, the details of the variable type counter CS will be described. The variation type counter CS has a configuration in which, for example, 1 is added in order within the range of 0 to 198, and after reaching the maximum value, it returns to 0. The variation type counter CS is used in the MPU 62 to determine the display duration in the first result display unit 37a and the second result display unit 37b and the display duration of the symbol in the symbol display device 41. The variation type counter CS is updated once every time the normal processing described later is executed once, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal processing. Then, the buffer value of the fluctuation type counter CS is acquired when the fluctuation pattern is determined at the start of the fluctuation display on the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b and at the start of the fluctuation of the symbol by the symbol display device 41. When determining the display duration in the first result display unit 37a and the second result display unit 37b, the display duration table stored in the display duration table storage area 63d of the ROM 63 is used.

Next, the details of the electric accessory opening counter C4 will be described. The electric accessory release counter C4 has a configuration in which, for example, 1 is added in order within the range of 0 to 249, and after reaching the maximum value, the counter returns to 0. The electric accessory opening counter C4 is periodically updated, and is stored in the electric service holding area 64c of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the through gate 35. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to control the electric accessory 34a to the open state by using the value of the stored electric accessory opening counter C4. For example, if C4 = 0 to 199, the electric accessory 34a is controlled to the open state, and if C4 = 200 to 249, the electric accessory 34a is controlled to the closed state.

The combination of one set of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit corresponds to the hold information related to the first start port 33, and is the first. 2. A combination of a set of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 stored in the hold area Rb for the result display unit corresponds to the hold information related to the second start port 34, and these hold information. However, it corresponds to the special information in the present invention.

A3. Various processes executed in the main controller:
Next, the timer interrupt processing and the normal processing executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 in order to advance the game of each game time will be described. The MPU 62 executes NMI interrupt processing activated by inputting a power failure signal in addition to timer interrupt processing and normal processing, but description of these processing will be omitted.

<Timer interrupt processing>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing. As described above, the timer interrupt process is periodically (for example, 2 msec cycle) started by the MPU 62 of the main controller 60.

In step S101, reading processing of various detection sensors 67a to 67e is executed. That is, the states of the various detection sensors 67a to 67e connected to the main control device 60 are read, the states of the sensors are determined, and the detection information (winning detection information) is saved. Then, the process proceeds to step S102.

In step S102, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, 1 is added to the random number initial value counter CINI, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to 0. Then, the updated value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. Then, the process proceeds to step S103.

In step S103, the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the electric accessory release counter C4 are updated. Specifically, 1 is added to each of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the electric accessory opening counter C4, and when each of these counter values reaches the maximum value, each of them is used. Clear to 0. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. Then, the process proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, a winning process for the starting port accompanying the winning of the first starting port 33 and the second starting port 34 is executed. The details of the winning process for the starting port in step S104 will be described later. After executing step S104, the process proceeds to step S105.

In step S105, a winning process for through winning is executed in association with winning the through gate 35. The details of the winning process for the through in step S105 will be described later. After executing step S105, the MPU 62 ends the timer interrupt process.

<Prize processing for starting port>
Next, the winning process for the starting port will be described. The winning process for the start port is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine of timer interrupt processing (FIG. 9: S104).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a winning process for the starting port. In step S201, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the first starting port 33 (starting winning) based on the detection state of the detection sensor corresponding to the first starting port 33. If it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has won the first starting port 33 (S201: YES), the process proceeds to step S202, and a prize ball command for causing the payout control device 70 to pay out three game balls. To set. Then, the process proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, an external signal setting process is performed in order to output a signal to the management control device on the game hall side that the game ball has won a prize in the first starting port 33. Then, the process proceeds to step S204.

In step S204, the start hold number RaN (hereinafter, also referred to as the first start hold number RaN), which is a value stored in the hold number storage area of the hold area Ra for the first result display unit, is read, and the first start hold number RaN is read. RaN is set as the target of the process described later. The first start hold number RaN indicates the hold number based on the winning of the first start port 33. Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

If it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has not won the first starting port 33 (S201: NO), the process proceeds to step S205, and has the game ball won the second starting port 34 (starting prize)? Whether or not it is determined by the detection state of the detection sensor corresponding to the second starting port 34.

If it is determined in step S205 that the game ball has won the second starting port 34 (S205: YES), the process proceeds to step S206, and a prize ball command for causing the payout control device 70 to pay out four game balls. To set. Then, the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S205 that the game ball has not won the second starting port 34 (S205: NO), the winning process for the main starting port is terminated.

In step S207, an external signal setting process is performed in order to output a signal to the management control device on the game hall side that the game ball has won a prize in the second starting port 34. Then, the process proceeds to step S208.

In step S208, the start hold number RbN (hereinafter, also referred to as the second start hold number RbN), which is a value stored in the hold number storage area of the hold area Rb for the second result display unit, is read out, and the second start hold number RbN is read. RbN is set as a target for processing described later. The second start hold number RbN indicates the hold number based on the winning of the second start port 34. Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S209, it is determined whether or not the start hold number N (RaN or RbN) set in step S204 or step S208 described above is less than the upper limit value (4 in this embodiment). In step S209, if the starting hold number N is not less than the upper limit value (S209: NO), the winning process for the main starting port is terminated. On the other hand, in step S209, if the start hold number N is less than the upper limit value (S209: YES), the process proceeds to step S210, and after adding 1 to the start hold number N of the corresponding result display hold area, The process proceeds to step S211 and 1 is added to the value stored in the total reserved quantity storage area (hereinafter referred to as the total reserved quantity CRN). The total hold quantity CRN indicates the total value of the first start hold quantity RaN and the second start hold quantity RbN. After that, the process proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 are stored in the first storage area of the corresponding free storage areas for the result display unit holding area, that is, step. In S210, 1 is added and stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved number. Specifically, when the first start pending number RaN is set as the processing target, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 are set to the first value. 1 It is stored in the first storage area of the free storage area of the result display unit reservation area Ra, that is, the storage area corresponding to the first start reservation number RaN to which 1 is added in step S210. When the second start pending number RbN is set as the processing target, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 are displayed as the second result. It is stored in the first storage area of the free storage area of the part reservation area Rb, that is, the storage area corresponding to the second start hold number RbN obtained by adding 1 in step S210. After executing step S212, the process proceeds to step S213.

In step S213, the process of setting the hold command is executed. Specifically, the information (holding information) of each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 is stored in the hold command. After that, the winning process for the main starting port is completed. The hold command is a voice emission control device 90 and a display control device, which are control devices on the sub side, for the fact that a prize has been generated in the first start port 33 or the second start port 34 and the hold information acquired based on the prize. In addition to making 100 recognize, whether the pending information related to this prize corresponds to the jackpot, if it corresponds to the jackpot, what type of jackpot corresponds to, and whether it corresponds to the reach occurrence This is a command for causing the control device on the sub side to confirm whether or not the hold information is before the target of the jackpot lottery by the main control device 60. This hold command is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in the external output process (FIG. 12: step S402) of the normal process described later, and the voice emission control device 90 that has received the hold command receives the confirmation process (FIG. 27 :) described later. According to step S1602, FIG. 29), whether or not the pending information related to the current prize corresponds to the jackpot, and if it corresponds to the jackpot, which type of jackpot corresponds to, and the reach occurrence. It is confirmed whether or not the hold information is set before the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery by the main control device 60.

Further, when the voice emission control device 90 receives the hold command transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33, the number of hold display in the first hold display area Ds1 of the symbol display device 41 is increased. A command for making a change corresponding to the above is transmitted to the display control device 100. Upon receiving the command, the display control device 100 changes the display in the first hold display area Ds1 of the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the increase in the number of holds. On the other hand, when the hold command transmitted based on the winning of the second start port 34 is received, the voice emission control device 90 increases the number of holds the display in the second hold display area Ds2 of the symbol display device 41. A command for making a change corresponding to the above is transmitted to the display control device 100. Upon receiving the command, the display control device 100 changes the display in the second hold display area Ds2 of the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the increase in the number of holds.

The MPU 62 of the main control device 60 wins the prize this time based on the information (holding information) of each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 stored in the storage area by the prize winning this time. Confirmation process to confirm whether the pending information related to the jackpot corresponds to the jackpot, if it corresponds to the jackpot, what type of jackpot corresponds to, whether it corresponds to the reach occurrence, etc. The same process as the confirmation process in steps S1602 and 29 in FIG. 27) may be executed, and the confirmed result may be set in the hold command. In this case, the confirmation process by the voice emission control device 90 (FIG. 27: step S1602, FIG. 29) can be omitted.

<Prize processing for through>
Next, the winning process for through will be described. The winning process for through is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine of timer interrupt processing (FIG. 9: S105).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a winning process for through. In step S301, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the through gate 35. If it is determined in step S301 that the game ball has won the through gate 35 (S301: YES), the process proceeds to step S302, and whether or not the number of reserved items SN is less than the upper limit value (4 in this embodiment). Is determined. The number of reserved items SN is a value indicating the number of winnings to the through gate 35 that is reserved for performing the electric accessory opening lottery. In the present embodiment, the maximum value of the number of reserved items SN is 4. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S301 that the game ball has not won the through gate 35 (S301: NO), the winning process for this through is terminated.

If it is determined in step S302 that the value is less than the upper limit value (less than 4) of the number of reserved items SN (S302: YES), the process proceeds to step S303, and 1 is added to the number of reserved items SN. Then, the process proceeds to step S304. On the other hand, in step S302, when it is determined that the value of the number of reserved items SN is not less than the upper limit value (S302: NO), that is, when it is determined that the value of the number of reserved items SN is equal to or more than the upper limit value, The winning process for this through is completed without storing the value of the electric accessory opening counter C4.

In step S304, the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 updated in step S103 is stored in the first storage area of the free storage area of the electric service holding area 64c of the RAM 64. After that, the winning process for this through is completed.

<Normal processing>
Next, the normal processing will be described. The normal process is a process started by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 when the power is turned on. In the normal process, the main process of the game is executed.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing normal processing. In step S401, the start-up process is executed. Specifically, the initial setting of each control device when the power is turned on, the determination of the validity of the data stored and held in the RAM 64, and the like are executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S402.

In step S402, output data such as a command set in the timer interrupt process or the previously executed normal process is transmitted to each control device on the sub side. Specifically, the presence or absence of the prize ball command is determined, and if the prize ball command is set, it is transmitted to the payout control device 70. Further, when commands related to the effect such as fluctuation commands and type commands are set, they are transmitted to the voice emission control device 90. After executing step S402, the process proceeds to step S403.

In step S403, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, 1 is added to the variable type counter CS, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value, the counter value is cleared to 0. Then, the update value of the variation type counter CS is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. Then, the process proceeds to step S404.

In step S404, the prize ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 70 are read, and the process proceeds to step S405. In step S405, a game turn control process for controlling the game in each game turn is executed. In the game times control process, a jackpot lottery, setting of a symbol variation display by the symbol display device 41, display control of the first result display unit 37a, the second result display unit 37b, and the like are performed. The details of the game time control process will be described later. After executing step S405, the process proceeds to step S406.

In step S406, a game state transition process for shifting the game state is executed. By executing the game state transition process, the game state shifts to the open / close execution mode, the high probability mode, the high frequency support mode, and the like. The details of the game state transition process will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step S407.

In step S407, an electric service support process for driving and controlling the electric accessory 34a provided in the second starting port 34 is executed. In the electric service support process, it is determined whether or not the electric accessory 34a is in the open state. The details of the processing for electric service support will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step S408.

In step S408, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4 msec in the present embodiment) has elapsed from the start of the normal process this time (strictly speaking, the start of the external output process in step S402). That is, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next normal process has been reached. If it is determined in step S408 that a predetermined time (4 msec) has not elapsed from the start of the current normal process (S408: NO), in steps S409 and S410 until the execution timing of the next normal process is reached. Within the remaining time of, the random number initial value counter CINI and the variation type counter CS are repeatedly updated. Specifically, in step S409, 1 is added to the random number initial value counter CINI, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to 0. Then, the updated value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. Further, in step S410, 1 is added to the variation type counter CS, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to 0. Then, the update value of the variation type counter CS is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S408 that a predetermined time (4 msec) has elapsed from the start of the normal process this time (S408: YES), the process returns to step S402 and each process from step S402 to step S407 is performed. Execute.

Since the execution time of each process from step S402 to step S407 changes according to the state of the game, the remaining time until the execution timing of the next normal process is not constant and fluctuates. Therefore, the values of these counters can be randomly updated by repeatedly updating the random number initial value counter CINI and the variation type counter CS using the remaining time.

<Game times control processing>
Next, the game times control process will be described. The game time control process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 12: S405) of the normal process.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the game time control process. In step S501, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode is in progress. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode flag is stored in the open / close execution mode flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The open / close execution mode flag is stored when the game state is shifted to the open / close execution mode in the game state transition process described later, and is deleted when the open / close execution mode is terminated in the game state transition process.

If it is determined in step S501 that the open / close execution mode is in progress (S501: YES), the game round control process ends without executing any of the processes after step S502. That is, in the open / close execution mode, the game round is not started regardless of whether or not a prize has been generated in the first start port 33 or the second start port 34. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S501 that the open / close execution mode is not in progress (S501: NO), the process proceeds to step S502.

In step S502, it is determined whether or not the main display unit 45 is in the variable display. Specifically, it is determined whether or not either the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b is in the variable display. This determination is performed by determining whether or not the variable display flag is stored in the variable display flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The variation display flag is stored when the variation display is started for either the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b, and is deleted when the variation display ends.

If it is determined in step S502 that the main display unit 45 is not in the variable display (S502: NO), the process proceeds to the game round start process of steps S503 to S505. In step S503, it is determined whether or not the total number of reserved items CRN is "0". When the total number of reserved items CRN is "0", it means that the number of items on hold for starting is "0" for both the first starting port 33 and the second starting port 34. Therefore, if it is determined in step S503 that the total number of reserved cards CRN is "0" (S503: YES), the game round control process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S503 that the total number of reserved items CRN is not "0" (S503: NO), the process proceeds to step S504.

In step S504, a data setting process for setting the data stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit or the hold area Rb for the second result display unit to the state after the start of fluctuation is executed, and in step S505, the data setting process is executed. move on. The details of the data setting process will be described later.

In step S505, a fluctuation start process for starting the fluctuation display on the main display unit 45 and the fluctuation display on the symbol display device 41 is executed. After that, the game times control process is terminated. The details of the fluctuation start processing will be described later.

If it is determined in step S502 that the main display unit 45 is in the variable display (S502: YES), the game round progress processing of steps S506 to S509 is executed.

In step S506, it is determined whether or not the variation display time of the current game times has elapsed. As described above, the variation display time is the time from when the symbol sequence starts to fluctuate until all the symbol sequences stop, and is a part of the display duration. Specifically, in step S506, it is determined whether or not the value of the fluctuation display time information stored in the fluctuation display time counter area of the RAM 64 is "0". The value of the variable display time information is set in the display duration setting process (FIG. 15: S714) described later. The value of the set fluctuation display time information is subtracted by 1 each time the timer interrupt process is started.

If it is determined in step S506 that the variation display time has not elapsed (S506: NO), the process proceeds to step S507 to execute the variation display process. The variable display process is a process for changing the display mode in the result display unit related to the current game round. After executing step S507, the game times control process ends.

If it is determined in step S506 that the variation display time has elapsed (S506: YES), the process proceeds to step S508 to execute the variation end processing. The variation end process displays the result display unit so that the mode of the symbol to be displayed on the result display unit determined in the variation start process (S505) described later is displayed on the result display unit related to the current game round. Control. After executing step S508, the process proceeds to step S509.

In step S509, the variable end command is set. The variation end command set in step S509 is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in step S402 in the normal process (FIG. 12). The voice emission control device 90 ends the effect in the game round based on the received variable end command. Further, the variation end command is transmitted from the voice emission control device 90 to the display control device 100, and the display control device 100 receives the variation end command to confirm and display the final stop symbol in the game round (final stop). Display). After executing step S509, the game times control process ends.

The pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to use the variable end command. In this case, the voice emission control device 90 and the display control device 100 measure the elapsed time from the start of the game round with a timer counter or the like, and based on the elapse of a predetermined time, in the game round. The effect may be terminated, or the final stop symbol in the game round may be confirmed and displayed (final stop display).

<Data setting process>
Next, the data setting process will be described. The data setting process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 13: S504) of the game turn control process.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the data setting process. In step S601, it is determined whether or not the second start hold quantity RbN stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit is “0”. If it is determined in step S601 that the second start pending number RbN is "0" (S601: YES), the data setting process for the first result display unit of steps S602 to S607 is executed, while the data setting process is executed. When it is determined that the second start pending number RbN is not "0" (S601: NO), the data setting process for the second result display unit of steps S608 to S613 is executed.

Here, the case where the data setting process is executed is the case where the total number of reserved pieces CRN is 1 or more as described with reference to FIG. 13 (see FIG. 13: S503). In this case, in the data setting process, it is determined whether or not the second start hold quantity RbN is "0", and if it is not "0", that is, the hold information for variable display is stored in the second result display unit 37b. If this is the case, the data stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit is the target of this data setting process regardless of whether or not the first start hold quantity RaN is 1 or more. As a result, when the hold information is stored in both the hold area Ra for the first result display unit and the hold area Rb for the second result display unit, it is for the second result display unit corresponding to the second start port 34. The hold information stored in the hold area Rb has priority.

In step S602, after subtracting 1 from the first start hold number RaN of the hold area Ra for the first result display unit, the process proceeds to step S603 and the total hold number CRN is subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S604. In step S604, the data stored in the first area of the hold area Ra for the first result display unit is moved to the execution area AE. Then, the process proceeds to step S605.

In step S605, a process of shifting the data stored in the storage area of the hold area Ra for the first result display unit is executed. This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas to the lower area side. Specifically, the data in the first area is cleared, and the data in each area is shifted in the order of the second area → the first area, the third area → the second area, the fourth area → the third area. After executing step S605, the process proceeds to step S606.

In step S606, when the second result display unit flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 64e, the flag is deleted, and when it is not stored, the state is maintained. The second result display unit flag is information for identifying whether the target for starting the variation display this time is the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b. Then, the process proceeds to step S607.

In step S607, a shift command is set. The shift command is a command including information for causing the voice emission control device 90, which is a control device on the sub side, to recognize that the data in the holding area has been shifted. In this case, from the command information storage area 63f of the ROM 63, information that the hold area targeted for the current data shift corresponds to the hold area Ra for the first result display unit, that is, the first start port 33. A shift command including information indicating that the above is supported is selected, and the selected shift command is set as a command to be transmitted to the voice emission control device 90. After that, this data setting process is terminated.

The shift command set in step S607 is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in step S402 in the normal process (FIG. 12). The voice emission control device 90 transmits to the display control device 100 a command for changing the display in the first hold display area Ds1 of the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the decrease in the number of holds, based on the received shift command. To do. Upon receiving the command, the display control device 100 changes the display in the first hold display area Ds1 of the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the decrease in the number of holds.

If it is determined in step S601 that the second start pending number RbN is not "0" (S601: NO), the data setting process for the second result display unit of steps S608 to S613 is executed as described above. To do.

In step S608, the second start hold number RbN of the hold area Rb for the second result display unit is subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S609. In step S609, the total number of reserved CRNs is subtracted by 1, and the process proceeds to step S610, and the data stored in the first area of the reserved area Rb for the second result display unit is moved to the execution area AE. Then, the process proceeds to step S611.

In step S611, a process of shifting the data stored in the storage area of the second result display unit holding area Rb is executed. This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas to the lower area side. Specifically, the data in the first area is cleared, and the data in each area is shifted in the order of the second area → the first area, the third area → the second area, the fourth area → the third area. After executing step S611, the process proceeds to step S612.

In step S612, if the second result display unit flag is not stored in the second result display unit flag storage area provided in the various flag storage areas 64e, the flag is stored, and if it is stored, the flag is stored. Maintain the state. Then, the process proceeds to step S613.

In step S613, a shift command is set. The shift command is a command including information for causing the voice emission control device 90, which is a control device on the sub side, to recognize that the data in the holding area has been shifted. In this case, from the command information storage area 63f of the ROM 63, information that the hold area targeted for the current data shift corresponds to the hold area Rb for the second result display unit, that is, the second start port 34 A shift command including information indicating that the above is supported is selected, and the selected shift command is set as a command to be transmitted to the voice emission control device 90. After that, this data setting process is terminated.

The shift command set in step S613 is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in step S402 in the normal process (FIG. 12). The voice emission control device 90 gives a command to the display control device 100 to change the display in the second hold display area Ds2 of the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the decrease in the number of holds, based on the received shift command. Send. Upon receiving the command, the display control device 100 changes the display in the second hold display area Ds2 of the symbol display device 41 in accordance with the decrease in the number of holds.

<Fluctuation start processing>
Next, the fluctuation start processing will be described. The variation start process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 13: S505) of the game turn control process.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the fluctuation start processing. In step S701, it is determined whether or not the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the high-probability mode flag is stored in the high-probability mode flag storage area provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The high-probability mode flag is a flag for the MPU 62 to specify whether or not the winning / failing lottery mode is the high-probability mode. After that, if you win the normal jackpot, it will be deleted.

If it is determined in step S701 that the winning / failing lottery mode is not the high probability mode (S701: NO), the process proceeds to step S702, and the winning / failing determination is made with reference to the winning / failing table for the low probability mode. Specifically, whether or not the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the value set as the jackpot winning in the winning / failing table for the low probability mode shown in FIG. 7A. Is determined. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S701 that the mode is in the high probability mode (S701: YES), the process proceeds to step S703, and the pass / fail determination is made with reference to the pass / fail table for the high probability mode. Specifically, whether or not the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the value set as the jackpot winning in the winning / failing table for the high probability mode shown in FIG. 7 (b). Is determined. After executing step S702 or step S703, the process proceeds to step S704.

In step S704, it is determined whether or not the result of the winning / failing determination (big hit lottery) in step S702 or step S703 is a big hit winning. In step S704, when the result of the winning / failing determination is a big hit (S704: YES), in steps S705 to S712, in order to set the process for setting the game result in the case of the big hit winning and the stop result. Executes the processing of.

In step S705, it is determined whether or not the second result display unit flag is stored in the RAM 64. If it is determined in step S705 that the second result display unit flag is not stored (S705: NO), the process proceeds to step S706, and the distribution table for the first result display unit (see FIG. 8A). The distribution is determined with reference to. Specifically, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is any of the numerical range of the 8R normal jackpot, the numerical range of the 16R normal jackpot, the numerical range of the 8R probability variation jackpot, and the numerical range of the 16R probability variation jackpot. Determine if it is included in.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S705 that the second result display unit flag is stored (S705: YES), the process proceeds to step S707, and the distribution table for the second result display unit (FIG. 8B). Refer to) to make a distribution judgment. Specifically, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is any of the numerical range of the 8R normal jackpot, the numerical range of the 16R normal jackpot, the numerical range of the 8R probability variation jackpot, and the numerical range of the 16R probability variation jackpot. Determine if it is included in. After executing the process of step S706 or step S707. The process proceeds to step S708.

In step S708, it is determined whether or not the type of jackpot distributed in step S706 or step S707 is a probabilistic jackpot. If it is determined in step S708 that the game result is a probabilistic jackpot (S708: YES), the process proceeds to step S709.

In step S709, the stop result setting process for the probability variation jackpot is executed. The stop result setting process for the probabilistic jackpot varies depending on which stop result is displayed on the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b in the current game round in which the probabilistic jackpot is won. This is a process for setting whether to end the display. Specifically, by referring to the stop result table for the probability variation jackpot stored in the stop result table storage area 63e, the address information of the stop result data corresponding to the type of jackpot distributed in step S706 or step S707 can be obtained. It is acquired and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64. After executing step S709, the process proceeds to step S710.

In step S710, the flags corresponding to the jackpot types assigned in step S706 or step S707 (big hit type flags) are stored in the corresponding areas in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. Specifically, the 8R probability variation flag is stored in the case of an 8R probability variation jackpot, and the 15R probability variation flag is stored in the case of a 15R probability variation jackpot. Then, the process proceeds to step S714.

In step S708, when it is determined that the type of jackpot distributed in step S706 or step S707 is not a probabilistic jackpot (S708: NO), that is, when the type of jackpot distributed is a normal jackpot, the process proceeds to step S711.

In step S711, a stop result setting process for a normal jackpot is executed. The stop result setting process for the normal jackpot varies depending on which stop result is displayed on the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b in the current game round in which the normal jackpot is won. This is a process for setting whether to end the display. Specifically, by referring to the stop result table for the normal jackpot stored in the stop result table storage area 63e, the address information of the stop result data corresponding to the type of jackpot distributed in step S706 or step S707 can be obtained. It is acquired and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64. After executing step S711, the process proceeds to step S712.

In step S712, the flags corresponding to the jackpot types assigned in step S706 or step S707 (big hit type flags) are stored in the corresponding areas in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. Specifically, the 8R normal flag is stored in the case of an 8R normal jackpot, and the 15R normal flag is stored in the case of a 15R normal jackpot. Then, the process proceeds to step S714.

In step S704, if the result of the big hit lottery in step S702 or step S703 is not a big hit (S704: NO), the process proceeds to step S713, and the stop result setting process for the time of loss is executed. The stop result setting process for the time of disengagement is to end the variation display in the state where either the stop result is displayed on the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b in the current game time which is the disengagement result. This is a process for setting. Specifically, by referring to the stop result table for when the stop result table is stored in the stop result table storage area 63e, the address information of the stop result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE is acquired. Then, the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64. After executing step S713, the process proceeds to step S714.

In step S714, the display duration setting process is executed. The display duration setting process sets the display duration, which is the time required for the current game round in the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b, based on the presence / absence of a big hit and the presence / absence of a reach. It is a process to do. The details of the display duration setting process will be described later. After executing step S714, the process proceeds to step S715.

In step S715, it is determined whether or not the second result display unit flag is stored in the RAM 64. If it is determined in step S715 that the second result display unit flag is not stored in the RAM 64 (S715: NO), the process proceeds to step S716 to set the first variation command. The first variation command includes information indicating that the current game round is related to the hold information acquired based on the winning of the first start port 33, and whether or not reach has occurred. Information and information on the display duration set in step S714 are included. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S715 that the second result display unit flag is stored (S715: YES), the process proceeds to step S717 to set the second variation command. The second variation command includes information indicating that the current game round is related to the hold information acquired based on the winning of the second starting port 34, and whether or not a reach has occurred. Information and information on the display duration set in step S714 are included. After executing step S716 or step S717, the process proceeds to step S718.

In step S718, a type command is set. The type command includes information on the presence / absence of a jackpot and the result of the distribution determination. That is, the type command includes 8R probability variation jackpot information, 16R probability variation jackpot information, 8R normal jackpot information, 16R normal jackpot information, or loss result information as the jackpot type information.

The variation command and the type command set in steps S716 to S718 are transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 by step S402 in the normal process (FIG. 12). The voice emission control device 90 determines the content of the effect in the game round based on the received variation command and the type command, and controls various devices so that the content of the determined effect is executed. After executing step S718, the process proceeds to step S719.

In step S719, of the first result display unit 37a and the second result display unit 37b, the result display unit corresponding to the current game times is started to display the variation of the symbol. Specifically, when the second result display unit flag is not stored in the RAM 64, it is specified that the result display unit corresponding to the current game times is the first result display unit 37a, and the variable display is started. , When the second result display unit flag is stored, it is specified that the result display unit corresponding to the current game times is the second result display unit 37b, and the variable display is started. After executing step S719, this fluctuation start process ends.

<Display duration setting process>
Next, the display duration setting process will be described. The display duration setting process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 15: S714) of the variation start process.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a display duration setting process. In step S801, the value of the variation type counter CS stored in the variation type counter buffer in the lottery counter buffer 64a of the RAM 64 is acquired and stored in the register of the MPU 62. Then, the process proceeds to step S802.

In step S802, it is determined whether or not reach occurs in this game round. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the probability variation jackpot flag or the normal jackpot flag is stored in the RAM 64, and if any of the flags is stored, it is determined that reach will occur (S802: YES). ), Proceed to step S803. Even if none of the above flags are stored, reach occurs when the value of the reach random number counter C3 stored in the execution area AE is a value corresponding to the occurrence of reach. Then, it is determined (S802: YES), and the process proceeds to step S803. When specifying whether or not reach has occurred using the value of the reach random number counter C3, the reach determination table stored in the reach determination table storage area of the ROM 63 is referred to.

In step S803, the display duration information corresponding to the value of the current variation type counter CS is acquired by referring to the reach generation display duration table stored in the display duration table storage area 63d of the ROM 63. After that, the process proceeds to step S804, and the variable display time information included in the display duration information is set in the variable display time counter area provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. After that, the display duration setting process ends.

If it is determined in step S802 that reach does not occur in the current game round (S802: NO), the process proceeds to step S805, and the display duration table for non-reach stored in the display duration table storage area 63d is displayed. The display duration corresponding to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS this time is acquired by referring to. After that, the process proceeds to step S806, and the variable display time information included in the display duration information is set in the variable display time counter area provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. After that, the display duration setting process ends.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the display duration information stored in the reach non-generation display duration table is set so that the display duration becomes shorter as the total number of reserved CRNs increases. There is. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a configuration that does not depend on the total number of reserved quantity CRNs may be used, and the display duration may be set to be shorter as the total number of reserved quantity CRNs is smaller. .. When the second start hold number RbN is "0", the display duration becomes shorter as the number of the first start hold number RaN increases, and when the second start hold number RbN is "1" or more. May be set so that the display duration becomes shorter as the number of the second start pending number RbN increases. When the second start hold number RbN is "0", the display duration becomes longer as the number of the first start hold number RaN increases, and when the second start hold number RbN is "1" or more. The display duration may be longer as the number of the second start reserved numbers RbN increases, or may be set to be constant without depending on the respective reserved numbers RaN and RbN.

Also, in the situation where the support mode is the high frequency support mode, the reach is not selected so that the shorter display duration is selected as compared with the case where the number of pending information is the same as in the situation where the support mode is the low frequency support mode. A display duration table for occurrence may be set. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selected display duration may be the same, and the above relationship may be reversed.

Furthermore, the above configuration may be applied to the display duration when a reach occurs, and the display duration that is easy to be selected and the display duration that is difficult to be selected are different between when the jackpot is won and when the reach is lost. It may be configured. Further, the display duration table for the probabilistic jackpot, the display duration table for the normal jackpot, the display duration table for the missed reach, and the display duration table for the complete miss may be set individually. As described above, the display duration of each game is determined by using the presence / absence of a big hit, the presence / absence of a reach, the number of pending information, and the value of the fluctuation type counter as parameters.

<Game state transition process>
Next, the game state transition process will be described. The game state transition process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 12: S406) of the normal process.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing a game state transition process. In step S901, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode is in progress. If it is determined in step S901 that the open / close execution mode is not in progress (S901: NO), the process proceeds to step S902, and the variation display of the symbol on the first result display unit 37a or the second result display unit 37b of one game is displayed. It is determined whether or not it is the end timing. If it is determined in step S902 that the timing is not the end of the variation display (S902; NO), the game state transition process is terminated as it is.

If it is determined in step S902 that the variation display has ended (S902: YES), the process proceeds to step S903, and the game result (big hit lottery result) of this game time shifts to the open / close execution mode. Determine if it corresponds. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of the 8R probability variation flag, the 16R probability variation flag, the 8R normal flag, and the 16R normal flag is stored in the RAM 64. If it is determined that none of the above flags is stored (S903: NO), the game state transition process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S903 that any of the above flags is stored (S903: YES), the process proceeds to step S904, and the round display start process for notifying the type of the opening / closing execution mode this time is performed. Execute. Specifically, the address information stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64 is confirmed. Then, based on the confirmed address information, the stop result data corresponding to the above address information is specified from the stop result data group stored in the ROM 63, and the content of the number of rounds is specified from the specified stop result data. Confirm. After that, the content of the confirmed number of rounds is output to the round display unit 39 in the main display unit 45. As a result, the round display unit 39 displays the round information related to the output. After executing step S904, the process proceeds to step S905.

In step S905, the number of rounds of the opening / closing execution mode this time is determined. Specifically, the jackpot type flags (16R probability variation flag, 16R normal flag, 8R probability variation flag, 8R normal flag) stored in the RAM 64 are confirmed. If it is determined in step S905 that the jackpot type flag stored in the RAM 64 is a 16R probability variation flag or a 16R normal flag (S905: YES), the process proceeds to step S906 and is provided in various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. Set "16" in the first round counter area RC1. The first round counter area RC1 is a counter area for counting the number of times the opening / closing door 36b is opened. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S905 that the jackpot type flag stored in the RAM 64 is an 8R probability variation flag or an 8R normal flag (S905: NO), the process proceeds to step S907 and is provided in various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. "8" is set in the first round counter area RC1. After executing step S906 or step S907, the process proceeds to step S908.

In step S908, an opening command is set. The set opening command is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in step S402 in the normal process (FIG. 12). This opening command contains information on the number of rounds in this open / close execution mode. The voice emission control device 90 determines the content of the effect corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode based on the received opening command, and controls various devices so that the content of the determined effect is executed. After executing step S908, the game state transition process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S901 that the opening / closing execution mode is in progress (S901: YES), the process proceeds to step S909 to execute the large winning opening opening / closing process. Specifically, when the large winning opening 36a is closed, the variable winning driving unit 36c is set to the driving state on condition that the first round counter area RC1 is "1" or more, and the large winning prize is won. The mouth 36a is opened. Further, when the large winning opening 36a is open, the variable winning driving unit is provided on the condition that the opening limit time has elapsed from the opening of the large winning opening 36a or the opening limit number has been won. The driving state of 36c is stopped, and the large winning opening 36a is closed. The details of the opening and closing process of the big winning opening will be described later. After executing step S909, the process proceeds to step S910.

In step S910, it is determined whether or not the value of the first round counter area RC1 is “0”. If it is determined that the value of the first round counter area RC1 is not "0" (S910: NO), the game state transition process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the first round counter area RC1 is "0" (S910: YES), the process proceeds to step S911, and the ending command is set. This set ending command is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in step S402 in the normal process (FIG. 12). The voice emission control device 90 ends the effect corresponding to the open / close execution mode based on receiving the ending command. After executing step S911, the process proceeds to step S912.

In step S912, the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode is executed. The transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode is a process for setting various modes of the game after the end of the current open / close execution mode. The details of the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode will be described later. After executing step S912, the process proceeds to step S913.

In step S913, the round display end process is executed. In this process, the display control of the round display unit 39 is terminated so that the round display unit 39 of the main display unit 45 is turned off. After that, the process proceeds to step S914 to execute the end processing of the open / close execution mode. Specifically, if the 16R probability variation flag, the 8R probability variation flag, the 16 normal flag, and the 8R normal flag are stored, these flags are deleted, and if these flags are not stored, the state is maintained. To do. After executing step S914, the game state transition process is terminated.

<Opening and closing of the winning opening>
Next, the opening / closing process of the large winning opening will be described. The winning opening opening / closing process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 17: S909) of the game state transition process.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a large winning opening opening / closing process. In step S1001, it is determined whether or not the large winning opening 36a is being opened. Specifically, the determination is made based on the driving state of the variable winning driving unit 36c. If it is determined in step S1001 that the large winning opening 36a is not open (S1001: NO), the process proceeds to step S1002, and it is determined whether or not the value of the first round counter area RC1 is "0". If it is determined in step S1002 that the value of the first round counter area RC1 is "0" (S1002: YES), the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1002 that the value of the first round counter area RC1 is not "0" (S1002: NO), the process proceeds to step S1003.

In step S1003, it is determined whether or not the value of the first timer counter area T1 provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64 is “0”. In this case, the first timer counter area T1 is used as a parameter for measuring the closing duration of the large winning opening 36a. If it is determined in step S1003 that the value of the first timer counter area T1 is not "0" (S1003: NO), the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1003 that the value of the first timer counter area T1 is "0" (S1003: YES), the process proceeds to step S1004, and the variable winning drive unit is used to open the large winning opening 36a. The 36c is in the driving state. Then, the process proceeds to step S1005.

In step S1005, the setting process for each round is executed. In the case of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment, since all the set winning modes are high-frequency winning modes, "15000" (that is, 30 sec) is set in the first timer counter area T1. Further, in order to count the number of winnings of the game ball to the large winning opening 36a, "10" is set in the winning counter area PC provided in various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. The count value set in the first timer counter area T1 is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process is started, that is, in a cycle of 2 msec. If the pachinko machine 10 is set to the low-frequency winning mode, for example, "100" (that is, 0.2 sec) is set in the first timer counter area T1 and "6" is set in the winning counter area PC. May be set. After executing step S1005, the process proceeds to step S1006.

In step S1006, a release command is set. After that, the opening / closing process of the winning opening is completed. The release command is a command including information for causing the voice emission control device 90 and the display control device 100, which are the control devices on the sub side, to recognize that the opening of the large winning opening 36a has started, and is a command of normal processing. It is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 by the external output process (FIG. 12: step S402). The voice emission control device 90 identifies that the opening of the large winning opening 36a for one round has started based on the received opening command, and also displays the production contents of the various lamps 47 and the speaker 46 on the large winning opening 36a. Update to the content corresponding to the start of opening. Further, the voice emission control device 90 transmits the release command to the display control device 100 while maintaining the information form. The display control device 100 identifies that the opening of the large winning opening 36a for one round has started based on the received opening command, and at the same time, the opening of the large winning opening 36a indicates the effect content of the symbol display device 41. Update to the content corresponding to what was started.

If it is determined in step S1001 that the large winning opening 36a is open (step S1001: YES), the process proceeds to step S1007, and it is determined whether or not the value of the first timer counter area T1 is "0". To do. In this case, the first timer counter area T1 is used as a parameter for measuring the opening duration of the large winning opening 36a. If it is determined in step S1007 that the value of the first timer counter area T1 is not "0" (S1007: NO), the process proceeds to step S1008.

In step S1008, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the large winning opening 36a based on the detection state of the detection sensor corresponding to the variable winning device 36. If it is determined in step S1008 that no winning has occurred (S1008: NO), the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1008 that a prize has been generated (S1008: YES), the process proceeds to step S1009, and the value of the prize counter area PC is subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S1010.

In step S1010, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter area PC is “0”. If it is determined in step S1010 that the value of the winning counter area PC is not "0" (S1010: NO), the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is terminated as it is.

When it is determined in step S1007 that the value of the first timer counter area T1 is "0" (S1007: YES), or when it is determined in step S1010 that the value of the winning counter area PC is "0". (S1010: YES), the process proceeds to step S1011 to execute the large winning opening closing process. Specifically, the variable winning drive unit 36c is set to the non-driving state in order to close the large winning opening 36a. Then, the process proceeds to step S1012.

In step S1012, the value of the first round counter area RC1 is subtracted by 1. After that, the process proceeds to step S1013, and it is determined whether or not the value of the first round counter area RC1 is “0”. If it is determined in step S1013 that the value of the first round counter area RC1 is "0" (S1013: YES), the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1013 that the value of the first round counter area RC1 is not "0" (S1013: NO), "1000" (that is, 2 sec) is set in the first timer counter area T1. In this case, the first timer counter area T1 is used as a parameter for measuring the closing duration of the large winning opening 36a. After executing step S1014, the process proceeds to step S1015 to set the closure command. After that, the opening and closing process of the big winning opening is completed.

This set closing command is a command including information for causing the voice emission control device 90 and the display control device 100, which are the control devices on the sub side, to recognize that the opening of the large winning opening 36a has been completed, and is a normal process. In the external output process (FIG. 12: step S402), the sound is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90. Based on the received closing command, the voice emission control device 90 identifies that the opening of the large winning opening 36a for one round has been completed, and at the same time, displays the effects of the various lamps 47 and the speaker 46 on the large winning opening 36a. Update to the content corresponding to the end of opening. Further, the voice emission control device 90 transmits the closing command to the display control device 100 while maintaining the information form. Based on the received closing command, the display control device 100 identifies that the opening of the large winning opening 36a for one round has been completed, and at the same time, the opening of the large winning opening 36a has been completed with the effect content of the symbol display device 41. Update to the content corresponding to what you did.
Execute the corresponding process.

<Transition processing at the end of open / close execution mode>
Next, the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode will be described. The transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 17: S912) of the game state transition process.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode. In step S1101, it is determined whether or not the flag corresponding to the probability variation jackpot is stored in the RAM 64 as the jackpot type flag. That is, it is determined whether or not the 16R probability variation flag or the 8R probability variation flag is stored in the RAM 64.

If it is determined in step S1101 that the 16R probability variation flag or the 8R probability variation flag is stored in the RAM 64 (S1101: YES), the process proceeds to step S1102 to execute the flag erasing process. The flag erasing process is a process of erasing information for specifying the game state. Specifically, if the open / close execution mode flag, the high probability mode flag, and the high frequency support flag are stored, they are deleted, and if these flags are not stored, the state is maintained. To do. After executing step S1102, the process proceeds to step S1103.

In step S1103, the high probability mode flag is stored, and then the process proceeds to step S1104 to store the high frequency support flag. As a result, after ending the open / close execution mode, the game state shifts to the game state in which the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode. In addition, these high-probability modes and high-frequency support modes are maintained at least until the next big hit. Then, the process proceeds to step S1105.

In step S1105, a high-probability mode command, which is a command including information for causing the control device on the sub side to recognize that the winning / failing lottery mode is the high-probability mode, is set as a command to be transmitted to the voice emission control device 90. To do. After that, the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode is terminated.

If it is determined in step S1101 that the 16R normal flag or the 8R normal flag is stored in the RAM 64 (S1101: NO), the process proceeds to step S1106 to execute the flag erasing process. Then, the process proceeds to step S1107.

In step S1107, after storing the high-frequency support flag, the process proceeds to step S1108, and "100" is set in the game count counter area provided in various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. The value set in the game count counter area is a value indicating the number of games when the high frequency support mode is executed by limiting the number of games. As a result, after ending the open / close execution mode, the game state shifts to the game state in which the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode. However, in this case, the high-frequency support mode ends after the game times are executed 100 times, and after that, the game shifts to the normal game state in which the winning / failing lottery mode is the low-probability mode and the support mode is the low-frequency support mode. .. After executing step S1108, the transition process at the end of the main open / close execution mode ends.

<Processing for electrical support>
Next, the processing for electric service support will be described. The electric service support process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 12: S407) of the normal process.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the electric service support process. In step S1201, it is determined whether or not the support is in progress. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the supported flag is stored in the supported flag storage area provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The supporting flag is a flag that is stored when the electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34 is opened and is cleared when the electric accessory 34a of the second starting port 34 is returned to the closed state. If it is determined in step S1201 that the supporting flag is not stored (S1201: NO), the process proceeds to step S1202.

In step S1202, it is determined whether or not the support winning flag is stored in the support winning flag storage area provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The support winning flag is a flag that is stored when the open state is won in the electric accessory opening lottery for whether or not to open the electric accessory 34a, and is deleted when the supporting flag is stored. .. If it is determined in step S1202 that the support winning flag is not stored (S1202: NO), the process proceeds to step S1203.

In step S1203, it is determined whether or not the value of the second timer counter area T2 provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64 is “0”. In this case, the second timer counter area T2 is used as a parameter for measuring the display duration of the normal diagram unit 38. The count value set in the second timer counter area T2 is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process is started, that is, in a cycle of 2 msec.

If it is determined in step S1203 that the value of the second timer counter area T2 is not "0" (S1203: NO), the main electric service support process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the second timer counter area T2 is "0" (S1203: YES), the process proceeds to step S1204.

In step S1204, it is determined whether or not it is the end timing of the variation display of the symbol in the normal diagram unit 38. If it is determined in step S1204 that it is the end timing of the variable display (S1204: YES), the process proceeds to step S1205, the off display is set, and then the main electric service support process is terminated. By setting the off display, the variable display of the symbol in the normal drawing unit 38 is terminated in the state where the off display is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1204 that it is not the end timing of the fluctuation display (S1204: NO), the process proceeds to step S1206.

In step S1206, it is determined whether or not the value of the number of reserved items SN is larger than "0". If it is determined in step S1206 that the value of the number of reserved items SN is "0" (S1206: NO), the main electric service support process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1206 that the value of the number of reserved items SN is larger than "0" (S1206: YES), the process proceeds to step S1207.

In step S1207, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode is in progress, and then the process proceeds to step S1208 to determine whether or not the high frequency support mode is in effect. If the mode is not the open / close execution mode (S1207: NO) in step S1207 and the high-frequency support mode is set in step S1208 (S1208: YES), the process proceeds to step S1209 and the electric accessory opening lottery is performed. Specifically, when the value stored in the electric service holding area 64c is shifted and the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 shifted to the execution area is 0 to 190, the electric accessory release lottery is performed. You will be elected. Further, "750" (that is, 1.5 sec) is set in the second timer counter area T2 at the same time as the electric accessory opening lottery. The second timer counter area T2 is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process is activated. Then, the process proceeds to step S1210.

In step S1210, it is determined whether or not the result of the electric accessory opening lottery in step S1209 is a support winning. If it is determined in step S1210 that the result of the electric accessory opening lottery is the support winning (S1210: YES), the process proceeds to step S1211 to store the support winning flag and to be provided in various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64. Set "3" in the second round counter area RC2. The second round counter area RC2 is a counter area for counting the number of times the electric accessory 34a is opened. Then, the process proceeds to step S1212. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1210 that the result of the electric accessory opening lottery is not the support winning (S1210: NO), the process proceeds to step S1212 without executing the process of step S1211.

In step S1212, it is determined whether or not the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode. If it is determined in step S1212 that the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode (S1212: YES), the process proceeds to step S1213. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1212 that the winning / failing lottery mode is not the low probability mode (S1212: NO), the main electric service support process is terminated as it is.

In step S1213, it is determined whether or not the game count counter area is "0". The game count counter is decremented by 1 each time one game is completed in the low probability mode and the high frequency support mode. If it is determined in step S1213 that the game count counter area is not "0" (S1213: NO), the main electric service support process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1213 that the game count counter area is "0", the process proceeds to step S1214 and the high frequency support flag is cleared. Then, the process proceeds to step S1215.

In step S1215, a low-frequency support command, which is a command including information for causing the control device on the sub side to recognize that the support mode is the low-frequency support mode, is set as a command to be transmitted to the voice emission control device 90. To do. After that, the processing for electric service support is terminated.

The low-frequency support command set in step S1215 is transmitted to the voice emission control device 90 in the external output process (FIG. 12: step S402) of the normal process. The voice emission control device 90 identifies that the support mode is the low frequency support mode based on receiving the low frequency support command, and executes the corresponding process.

If it is determined in step S1207 that the open / close execution mode is set (S1207: YES), or if it is determined in step S1218 that the mode is not in the high frequency support mode (S1208: NO), the process proceeds to step S1216 and the electric accessory opening lottery is performed. I do. Specifically, when the value stored in the electric service holding area 64c is shifted and the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 shifted to the execution area is 0 to 190, the electric accessory release lottery is performed. You will be elected. Further, "14750" (that is, 29.5 sec) is set in the second timer counter area T2 at the same time as the electric accessory opening lottery. Then, the process proceeds to step S1217.

In step S1217, it is determined whether or not the result of the electric accessory opening lottery in step S1216 is the support winning. If it is determined in step S1217 that the support is not won (S1217: NO), the main electric service support process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1217 that the support is won (S1217: YES), the process proceeds to step S1218, the support winning flag is stored, and "1" is set in the second round counter area RC2. Ends the main electric service support process.

If it is determined in step S1202 that the support winning flag is stored (S1202: YES), the process proceeds to step S1219, and it is determined whether or not the value of the second timer counter area T2 is "0". In this case, the second timer counter area T2 is used as a parameter for measuring the display duration of the normal diagram unit 38. If it is determined in step S1219 that the value of the second timer counter area T2 is not "0" (S1219: NO), the pattern is being displayed in a variable manner in the normal drawing unit 38. To finish. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1219 that the value of the second timer counter area T2 is "0" (S1219: YES), the process proceeds to step S1220.

In step S1220, the hit display is set. As a result, the variable display of the pattern in the normal drawing unit 38 is terminated in the state where the hit display is stopped and displayed. After that, the process proceeds to step S1221 to store the supporting flag and clear the support winning flag. After that, the processing for main electric service support is terminated.

If it is determined in step S1201 that the supporting flag is stored (S1201: YES), the process proceeds to step S1222 to execute the electric function opening / closing process for controlling the opening / closing of the electric accessory 34a. After that, the processing for main electric service support is terminated.

<Electric service opening / closing process>
Next, the electric service opening / closing process will be described. The electric service opening / closing process is executed by the MPU 62 of the main control device 60 as a subroutine (FIG. 20: S1222) of the electric service support process.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the electric service opening / closing process. In step S1301, it is determined whether or not the electric accessory 34a is open. Whether or not the electric accessory 34a is open is determined by whether or not the electric accessory drive unit 34b is in the driving state. If it is determined that the electric accessory 34a is open (S1301: YES), the process proceeds to step S1302.

In step S1302, it is determined whether or not the value of the second timer counter area T2 is “0”. In this case, the second timer counter area T2 is used as a parameter for measuring the opening duration of the electric accessory 34a. If it is determined in step S1302 that the value of the second timer counter area T2 is not "0" (S1302: NO), the main electric service opening / closing process is terminated as it is. That is, if the opening duration of the electric accessory 34a has not ended, the main electric accessory opening / closing process ends.

If it is determined in step S1302 that the value of the second timer counter area T2 is "0" (S1302: YES), the process proceeds to step S1303, and a closing process for controlling the electric accessory 34a to the closed state is performed. “250” (that is, 0.5 sec) is set in the second timer counter area T2. That is, when the second timer counter area T2 as the means for measuring the opening duration of the electric accessory 34a is "0", the electric accessory 34a is closed and the second timer counter area T2 is electrically operated this time. It is used as a parameter for measuring the closing duration of the accessory 34a, and "250" is set in the second timer counter area T2. After executing step S1303, the process proceeds to step S1304.

In step S1304, after subtracting 1 from the value of the second round counter area RC2, the process proceeds to step S1305 to determine whether or not the value of the second round counter area RC2 is “0”. If it is determined in step S1305 that the value of the second round counter area RC2 is not "0" (S1305: NO), the main electric service opening / closing process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1305 that the value of the second round counter area RC2 is "0" (S1305: YES), the process proceeds to step S1306 and the supporting flag is cleared. After that, the main electric service opening / closing process is completed.

If it is determined in step S1301 that the electric accessory 34a is not open (S1301: NO), the process proceeds to step S1307 to determine whether or not the second timer counter area T2 is "0". In this case, the second timer counter area T2 is used as a parameter for measuring the closing duration of the electric accessory 34a. If it is determined in step S1307 that the second timer counter area T2 is not "0" (S1307: NO), the main electric service opening / closing process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1307 that the second timer counter area T2 is "0" (S1307: YES), the process proceeds to step S1308, and an opening process for controlling the electric accessory 34a to the open state is executed. .. Then, the process proceeds to step S1309.

In step S1309, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode is in progress, and if it is determined that the opening / closing execution mode is not in progress (S1309: NO), the process proceeds to step S1310 to determine whether or not the high frequency support mode is in effect. To do.

If it is determined in step S1310 that the high frequency support mode is in progress (S1310: YES), the process proceeds to step S1311, and "800" (that is, 1.6 sec) is set in the second timer counter area T2. After that, the main electric service opening / closing process is completed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1309 that the open / close execution mode is set (S1309: YES), or if it is determined in step S1310 that the mode is not in the high frequency support mode (S1310: NO), the process proceeds to step S1312 and the second step is performed. “100” (that is, 0.2 sec) is set in the timer counter area T2. After that, the main electric service opening / closing process is completed.

A4. Electrical configuration of voice emission control device and display control device:
Next, the electrical configuration of the voice emission control device 90 and the display control device 100 will be described.

FIG. 22 is a block diagram showing mainly the electrical configurations of the voice emission control device 90 and the display control device 100. Some configurations of the power supply device 85 and the like are omitted. The MPU 92 is mounted on the voice emission control board 91 provided in the voice emission control device 90. The MPU 92 is an element having a built-in ROM 93, RAM 94, interrupt circuit, timer circuit, data input / output circuit, and the like.

The ROM 93 stores various control programs, fixed value data, tables, and the like executed by the MPU 92. For example, a part of the area of ROM 93 includes a hold confirmation table storage area 93a, a déjà vu notice generation table storage area 93b, a déjà vu notice notice effect table storage area 93c, and a stop symbol table storage for déjà vu notice. An area 93d, a variable display pattern table storage area 93e, and the like are provided. Details of these will be described later.

The RAM 94 is a memory for temporarily storing various data and the like when the control program stored in the ROM 93 is executed. For example, a part of the area of the RAM 94 is provided with various flag storage areas 94a, various counter areas 94b, a lottery counter area 94c, a déjà vu advance notice effect storage area 94d, and the like. Details of these will be described later. It is not essential that the ROM 93 and the RAM 94 are integrated into one chip with respect to the MPU 92, and each may be individually chipped.

The MPU 92 is provided with an input port and an output port, respectively. A main control device 60 is connected to the input side of the MPU 92. Various commands are received from the main control device 60. An effect operation button 24, a speaker 46, and various lamps 47 are connected to the output side of the MPU 92, and a display control device 100 is connected to the output side.

The display control board 101 provided in the display control device 100 includes an MPU 102, which is an element in which a program ROM 103 and a work RAM 104 are combined into chips, a video display processor (VDP) 105, a character ROM 106, and a video RAM 107. Is installed. It is not essential that the program ROM 103 and the work RAM 104 are integrated into one chip with respect to the MPU 102, and each may be individually chipped.

The MPU 102 analyzes various commands received from the voice emission control device 90 or performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the received commands to control the VDP 105 (specifically, generate an internal command for the VDP 105). ..

The program ROM 103 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the MPU 102 and fixed value data, and also stores JPEG format image data for a background image.

The work RAM 104 is a memory for temporarily storing work data, flags, and the like used when executing various programs by the MPU 102.

The VDP 105 is a kind of drawing circuit, and directly operates an image processing device as a liquid crystal display unit driver incorporated in the symbol display device 41. The VDP 105 is also called a "drawing chip" because it is made into an IC chip, and is a kind of microcomputer chip having a built-in firmware dedicated to drawing processing. The VDP 105 adjusts the timings of the MPU 102, the video RAM 107, and the like to intervene in reading and writing data, and reads the image data stored in the video RAM 107 from the character ROM 106 at a predetermined timing and displays it on the symbol display device 41.

The character ROM 106 plays a role as an image data library for storing character data such as a symbol displayed on the symbol display device 41. The character ROM 106 stores bitmap format image data of various display symbols, a color palette table referred to when determining the expression color of each dot of the bitmap image, and the like. It is also possible to provide a plurality of character ROMs 106 and share them with each character ROM 106 to store image data and the like. Further, it is also possible to have a configuration in which the JPEG format image data for the background image stored in the program ROM 103 is stored in the character ROM 106.

The video RAM 107 is a memory for storing display data to be displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the display content of the symbol display device 41 is changed by rewriting the content of the video RAM 107.

In the following, the MPU 62, ROM 63, and RAM 64 of the main control device 60 are also referred to as the main MPU 62, the main ROM 63, and the main RAM 64, respectively, and the MPU 92, ROM 93, and RAM 94 of the voice emission control device 90 are referred to as the sound light side MPU 92 and the sound light side, respectively. The ROM 93 and the sound / light side RAM 94 are also referred to, and the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 is also referred to as a display side MPU 102.

A5. Déjà vu notice:
A5-1. Summary of déjà vu notice:
Next, an outline of the déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 23 is a time chart showing an example of a déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment. FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the symbol display device 41 when the déjà vu notice is executed. The déjà vu notice is to give the player a déjà vu that the déjà vu has the same content multiple times by executing at least one déjà vu element with the same content multiple times. It is a production to give. The effect element is a unit that constitutes the game effect. For example, a cut-in notice effect that displays a predetermined image (still image or moving image) in front of the background image, a predetermined object image such as a mini character is used as the background. Object notice effect to be displayed in front of the image (mini character notice effect), background change notice effect to change the background image to a different mode from the normal time, character notice effect to make a predetermined character perform a predetermined operation, various types A lamp emission effect that causes the lamp to emit light in a predetermined pattern, a symbol sequence variation effect that changes the symbol sequence in a predetermined scroll pattern, and the remaining one symbol with two identical symbols stopped on at least one effective line. Examples thereof include a reach effect of changing a row, a symbol pseudo stop effect of pseudo-stopping a predetermined symbol combination, a symbol complete stop effect of completely stopping a predetermined symbol combination, and the like.

The pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, that is, whether or not to generate the déjà vu notice, based on the hold information. Then, when it is determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the pachinko machine 10 is required to complete the game round related to the hold information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied. , At least one effect element is executed multiple times with the same content. Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the reserved information subject to the determination is subject to the jackpot lottery. ..

Specifically, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment confirms that the following conditions are satisfied when the game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 or the second starting port 34 and the holding information is acquired. Then, the lottery process for generating a déjà vu notice, which will be described later, is executed. If you win the lottery process for generating déjà vu notice, the conditions for generating déjà vu notice will be satisfied.
(Condition 1) The hold information already stored does not include the hold information corresponding to the jackpot. (Condition 2) If the game ball wins in the first starting port 33, it is related to this prize. The total number of holdings CRN including the holding information is 2 or more (Condition 3) When the game ball wins the second starting port 34, the second starting holding number RbN including the holding information related to this winning Is 2 or more

The reason for condition 1 is that even if the production element with the same content is executed multiple times by using the game times related to the hold information corresponding to the jackpot and the game times related to the hold information that won the prize this time, the jackpot is supported. This is because the jackpot effect is executed after the game times related to the reserved information to be performed, so that the continuity of the effect elements having the same content executed a plurality of times is interrupted, and it becomes difficult to give the player a sense of déjà vu. The reason for the condition 2 and the condition 3 is that if the number of reserved items including the reserved information related to the current prize is 2 or more, the déjà vu notice can be executed over a plurality of game times. The reason why the second start hold number RbN is the standard in the condition 3 is that in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the hold information acquired by winning the second start port 34 is the first start port 33. This is because the jackpot lottery is given priority over the pending information obtained by winning the prize. However, these conditions are examples, and other conditions may be imposed or may not be present. For example, in the case where the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times in one game, these conditions may not be necessary.

In the déjà vu notice generation lottery process of the present embodiment, the déjà vu notice is given only when the hold information related to this prize is the hold information that will result in a big hit or reach when it is later targeted for a big hit lottery. You can win the outbreak. The reason for this is that a relatively long display duration is set in the game times related to the hold information that causes a big hit or reach, so that it is easy to execute a suggestion effect, a battle effect, or the like, which will be described later. Then, when the lottery process for generating the déjà vu notice is won, the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, and the pachinko machine 10 is held for determining that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied. By the time the game rounds related to the information are completed, at least one effect element is executed a plurality of times with the same content.

In Example 1 shown in FIG. 23 (A), the game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 at the timing when the total number of holdings CRN is 2, and the total number of holdings CRN becomes 3, based on the holding information related to the winning. As a result of the above determination, the case where the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied is shown. Then, the game time P03 shown as the third game time is the game time related to the reserved information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied.

In Example 1 shown in FIG. 23 (A), the pachinko machine 10 selects a cut-in notice effect A having the same content as the effect element A to be executed a plurality of times with the same content, and cut-in the same content. The notice effect A is executed once in each of the three game times P01, P02, and P03. That is, the pachinko machine 10 executes the cut-in notice effect A in all of the consecutive game times by the end of the game times related to the hold information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied. There is.

Further, in Example 1 shown in FIG. 23, the pachinko machine 10 completely stops the out-of-design symbol A (for example, a combination of the symbols of “1, 2, 3”) in the first game round P01. Is executed, and also in the second game round P02, the symbol complete stop effect of completely stopping the same off symbol A is executed. That is, the pachinko machine 10 selects, as an effect element to be executed a plurality of times with the same content, a symbol complete stop effect having the same content of completely stopping the same off symbol A, and completely stops the symbol with the same content. The production is executed multiple times.

Further, in Example 1 shown in FIG. 23, the pachinko machine 10 executes a symbol pseudo-stop effect of pseudo-stopping the detached symbol A after executing the cut-in notice effect A in the third game round P3. There is. Strictly speaking, the symbol pseudo stop effect is different from the symbol complete stop effect in that the symbol is not completely stopped. However, the mode of the effect that the player can recognize is very similar between the case where the combination of symbols is stopped in a pseudo manner and the case where the combination of symbols is completely stopped. Therefore, in the present specification, if the content of the combination of the symbols to be pseudo-stopped is the same, the symbol pseudo-stop effect is regarded as an effect element having the same content as the symbol complete stop effect that completely stops the symbol. , In the following, the symbol complete stop effect and the symbol pseudo stop effect are collectively referred to as a symbol stop effect.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment executes a suggestion effect suggesting to the player that the effect element having the same content has been executed a plurality of times after the effect element having the same content has been executed a plurality of times. .. In the example shown in FIG. 24, the suggestion effect causes the symbol display device 41 to display an image in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" This is a mode in which the speaker 46 and various lamps 47 are output. However, the suggestion effect may be in another mode as long as it can suggest to the player that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times. For example, "Maybe dejab?" , "Is it dejab?", "Dejab?", "Is dejab a precursor to a big hit?", "This production is familiar!" Images containing messages such as "This is déjà vu !?" and "You'll get bored with the same production ..." are displayed on the symbol display device 41, and voices containing these messages are output from the speaker 46. It may be a directing effect or the like.

In the example shown in FIG. 23, the pachinko machine 10 executes a suggestion effect, then performs a battle effect in which the player-side character and the enemy-side character confront each other, and then the result corresponding to the result of the jackpot lottery. Execute the production (winning production if you win the jackpot, defeating production if you lose the result, etc.). In the example shown in FIG. 24, in the battle effect, an image in which a female character on the player side and a male character on the enemy side confront each other is displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the sound and light associated with the image are transmitted to the speaker 46. And various lamps 47 are output. However, the battle effect may be in another mode or may be omitted. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 24, in the victory effect, an image in which the female character on the player side is pleased with the victory is displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the sound and light associated with the image are displayed on the speaker 46 and various lamps 47. It is a mode to output to. However, the winning effect as the result effect may be in another mode or may be omitted. After that, if the jackpot is won, the jackpot production corresponding to the type of jackpot is executed.

According to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, the player has a sense of déjà vu that the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times. Can be given. A player who recognizes the déjà vu will have a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, that he may win a big hit. Further, when the player experiences that the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times and then wins the jackpot, the effect element is executed in the expectation that the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times. Every time it is done, I always have a high expectation and pay attention to the production elements. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the player is made to pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same contents are executed a plurality of times, and the player's attention to the effect elements to be sequentially executed is paid. It can be suitably enhanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, different reliability (expectation degree) can be set for each type of effect element executed in a single shot, so that, for example, the highly reliable effect element has the same content. When executed multiple times, the player strongly expects that the jackpot is very likely to be won, while the unreliable production element is executed. However, the player comes to expect that the effect element is executed a plurality of times with the same content, and the player's attention to the effect element can be suitably increased.

In addition, even if an effect that directly suggests that there is a high possibility of winning a big hit, for example, an effect of lighting a look-ahead hold lamp or the like in a color different from the normal time is not executed, the same content is used. It is possible to add a game of paying attention to whether or not the effect element of is executed a plurality of times.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the effect element having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the player has the same content. It is possible to convince the player that the effect element has been executed multiple times has a special meaning. Then, when the player has executed the effect element having the same content multiple times, is it just a coincidence that the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, or is it a déjà vu accompanied by a suggestion effect? Whether it was a notice will be confirmed by whether or not the suggestion effect is executed, and it is expected that the suggestion effect will be executed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment can execute an operation acceptance effect element (button effect) including a content suggesting acceptance of the operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player as the effect element. When the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect is not selected as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times. The reason for this will be explained. When the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player (for example, whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May occur. Therefore, even if the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied and the pachinko machine 10 executes the same type of button effect a plurality of times, the buttons may be affected depending on the mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The production may be executed with different contents, and it may not be possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu. On the other hand, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the button effect is not selected as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times, different contents are executed depending on the mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player. It is possible to suppress the storage, and it is possible to surely give the player a sense of déjà vu. However, even when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the pachinko machine 10 cancels the execution of the déjà vu notice when the button effect is selected as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times. It may be configured.

Further, as described above, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and has already been determined. When it is determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the pending information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied is the target to be executed multiple times before the target of the jackpot lottery. Starts the execution of the effect element that is. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times.

Here, as described above, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines the display duration, which is the time required for each game round, immediately before the start of each game round. Therefore, the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, and if the type of the effect element (for example, the cut-in notice effect) to be executed a plurality of times in the déjà vu notice is randomly selected, the display duration of each game time is reached. In some cases, a production element with a length that cannot be executed may be selected. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment can be executed with the shortest display duration or less among the display durations that can be selected in each game when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied. An element is selected as a target effect element to be executed a plurality of times, and the selected effect element is executed in each game time. By doing so, even if the display duration determined for each game time is different, it is possible to reliably execute the effect element having the same content in each game time.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the length of the display duration of the game times for which the selected effect element is executed is a length that allows the selected effect element to be executed a plurality of times. , The effect element having the same selected content is executed a plurality of times in the one game.

In Example 2 shown in FIG. 23 (B), the display duration T2 of the second game round P02 is longer than twice the time required for the effect element A (for example, the cut-in notice effect A). , The pachinko machine 10 executes the same effect element A twice in the game round P02. It should be noted that the pachinko machine 10 has the same outlier symbol A as the outlier symbol A stopped in the first game round P01 after the end of the first effect element A in the second game round P02 (for example, "1, 2". The symbol pseudo-stop effect of pseudo-stopping the combination of symbols of "3") is executed once. Therefore, the déjà vu given to the player can be further strengthened.

According to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to execute an effect element having the same content (hereinafter, also referred to as an effect element for déjà vu notice), which is a target to be executed a plurality of times, more times. , It is possible to make the player strongly recognize the feeling of déjà vu. Further, since the number of times the effect element for déjà vu is executed increases or decreases depending on the length of the display duration of one game, it is possible to give an intonation to the player's expectation.

Further, since the déjà vu advance notice element is an effect element that can be executed with the shortest display duration or less among the display durations that can be determined for each game, the time required for one execution is long. 1. It is less than or equal to the length of the display duration of one game. Therefore, even if the effect element for déjà vu warning is executed once in one game, an extra time may occur in the display duration. According to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the length of the display duration of one game is long enough to execute the effect element for déjà vu (the effect element having the same content) multiple times. In the above, since the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times in the one game, the surplus time of the display duration can be minimized.

In the above example, the pachinko machine 10 sets the effect element A in all of the consecutive game times by the end of the game times related to the hold information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied. Although it is executed, the pachinko machine 10 may execute the effect element having the same content a plurality of times. For example, the effect element A may be executed only in the game times P01 and the game times P03.

In the following, in particular, when a specific advance notice effect is selected as an effect element to be executed a plurality of times with the same content in the déjà vu advance notice, the selected advance notice effect is also referred to as a “déjà vu advance notice effect”. In addition, when a symbol stop effect that completely stops or pseudo-stops a specific combination of symbols is selected as an effect element to be executed multiple times with the same content in the déjà vu notice, the selected symbol stop effect A combination of specific symbols to be stopped or to be stopped in a pseudo manner is also referred to as a "stop symbol for déjà vu notice".

A5-2. Control related to déjà vu notice:
Next, an example of specific control for executing the above-mentioned déjà vu notice in the pachinko machine 10 will be described.

<Various processes executed in the voice emission control device>
<Timer interrupt processing>
First, the timer interrupt processing executed by the sound-light side MPU 92 will be described.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed in the sound light side MPU 92. The timer interrupt process is repeatedly executed with a relatively short cycle (for example, 4 msec). Hereinafter, the processing of each step executed in the timer interrupt processing will be described.

In step S1401, the command storage process is executed. The command storage process is a process for storing the received command in the sound / light side RAM 94 when a command is received from the main MPU 62. The sound light side RAM 94 is provided with a ring buffer for storing and reading commands received from the main MPU 62, and the commands received from the main MPU 62 are sequentially stored in the ring buffer. , Read sequentially according to the stored order. After executing step S1401, the process proceeds to step S1402.

In step S1402, a command correspondence process for performing a process corresponding to the received command is executed. The details of the command handling process will be described later. After executing step S1402, the process proceeds to step S1403.

In step S1403, a light emission control process for controlling light emission of various lamps 47 is executed. In the light emission control process, light emission control of various lamps 47 is performed based on the light emission data read in the command correspondence process in step S1402. After executing step S1403, the process proceeds to step S1404.

In step S1404, the audio output control process for controlling the audio output of the speaker 46 is executed. In the voice output control process, the voice output control of the speaker 46 is performed based on the voice output data read in the command correspondence process in step S1402. After executing step S1404, the timer interrupt process ends.

<Command support processing>
Next, the command correspondence process will be described. The command correspondence process is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine of timer interrupt process (FIG. 25: S1402).

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the command correspondence process. As described above, in the command correspondence process, the process corresponding to the command received from the main MPU 62 is executed. The processing of each step executed in the command correspondence processing will be described below.

In step S1501, it is determined whether or not a hold command has been received from the main MPU 62. If it is determined in step S1501 that the hold command has been received from the main MPU 62 (S1501: YES), the process proceeds to step S1502 to execute the hold command correspondence process. In the hold command correspondence process, the above-mentioned process related to the déjà vu notice is executed based on the information set in the hold command. The details of the pending command handling process will be described later. After executing step S1502, the process proceeds to step S1503. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1501 that the hold command has not been received from the main MPU 62 (S1501: NO), the process proceeds to step S1503 without executing step S1502.

In step S1503, it is determined whether or not a variation command and a type command have been received from the main MPU 62. If it is determined in step S1503 that the variation command and the type command have been received (S1503: YES), the process proceeds to step S1504 to execute the effect setting process. In the effect setting process, a notice effect to be executed in this game round, a stop symbol, a variable display pattern, and the like are set. The details of the effect setting process will be described later. After executing step S1504, the process proceeds to step S1505. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1503 that the variation command and the type command have not been received (S1503: NO), the process proceeds to step S1505 without executing step S1504.

In step S1505, it is determined whether or not an opening command has been received from the main MPU 62. If it is determined in step S1505 that the opening command has been received from the main MPU 62 (S1505: YES), the process proceeds to step S1506 to execute the opening effect setting process. In the opening effect setting process, the type of jackpot included in the opening command received this time is specified, the content of the opening effect corresponding to the type of jackpot is set, and the information corresponding to the effect content is set. The opening effect command is transmitted to the display side MPU 102. Then, the process proceeds to step S1507. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1505 that the opening command has not been received from the main MPU 62 (S1505: NO), the process proceeds to step S1507 without executing step S1506.

In step S1507, it is determined whether or not the ending command has been received. If it is determined in step S1507 that the ending command has been received (S1507: YES), the process proceeds to step S1508 to execute the ending effect setting process. In the ending effect setting process, the content of the game state after the open / close execution mode included in the ending command received this time is specified, the content of the ending effect corresponding to the content of the game state is set, and the content of the effect is set. The ending effect command in which the corresponding information is set is transmitted to the display side MPU 102. Then, the process proceeds to step S1509. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1507 that the ending command has not been received from the main MPU 62 (S1507: NO), the process proceeds to step S1509 without executing step S1508.

In step S1509, other setting processing is executed. In other setting processes, for example, the effect content corresponding to the open command and the effect content corresponding to the close command are set. Further, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed, an effect operation command for recognizing that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed is transmitted to the display side MPU 102.

<Processing for pending commands>
Next, the pending command correspondence process will be described. The hold command correspondence process is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine of the command correspondence process (FIG. 26: S1502).

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the pending command correspondence process. As described above, the hold command correspondence process is a process executed when the hold command is received from the main MPU 62. Hereinafter, the processing of each step executed in the processing corresponding to the pending command will be described.

In step S1601, the update process at the time of winning is executed. In the update process at the time of winning, the number of hold information acquired based on the winning of the first starting port 33, the number of holding information acquired based on the winning of the second starting port 34, and the holding of these A process is executed so that the total number of pieces of information can be specified in the sound light side MPU 92. The details of the update process at the time of winning in step S1601 will be described later. In the following, the number of hold information acquired based on the winning of the first starting port 33 is also referred to as the "first holding number", and the number of holding information acquired based on the winning of the second starting port 34 is referred to as the "first holding number". It is also referred to as "second reserved quantity", and the total number of the first reserved quantity and the second reserved quantity is also referred to as "total reserved quantity". After executing step S1601, the process proceeds to step S1602.

In step S1602, the confirmation process is executed. In the confirmation process, a process is executed so that the sound / light side MPU 92 can specify whether or not the hold command to be read this time corresponds to the jackpot, whether or not it corresponds to the reach generation, and the like. The details of the confirmation process in step S1602 will be described later. After executing step S1602, the process proceeds to step S1603.

In step S1603, the déjà vu warning process is executed. In the déjà vu notice processing, a process for determining whether or not the above-mentioned déjà vu notice generation condition is satisfied is executed, and when the déjà vu notice generation condition is satisfied, the déjà vu notice is already seen. Execute the setting process for executing the impression notice. The details of the déjà vu warning process in step S1603 will be described later. After executing step S1603, the process corresponding to this hold command ends.

<Update process at the time of winning>
Next, the update process at the time of winning will be described. The update process at the time of winning is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 27: S1601) of the hold command corresponding process.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an update process at the time of winning. In step S1701, it is determined whether or not the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33. If it is determined in step S1701 that the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S1701: YES), the process proceeds to step S1702, and the sound is emitted. The update process of the first reserved number counter area provided in the various counter areas 94b of the side RAM 94 is executed. The first reserved quantity counter area is a counter area for specifying the number of reserved information acquired based on the winning of the first starting port 33 in the sound light side MPU 92. In the update process of the first hold quantity counter area, the information of the first hold quantity counter area is updated to the information of the hold quantity included in the hold command to be read this time. After executing step S1702, the process proceeds to step S1704.

In step S1701, when it is determined that the hold command to be read this time is not transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S1701: NO), that is, the hold command is the second start port. If it is determined that the command was transmitted based on the winning of 34, the process proceeds to step S1703, and the update process of the second reserved number counter area provided in the various counter areas 94b of the sound light side RAM 94 is executed. .. The second reserved quantity counter area is a counter area for specifying the number of reserved information acquired based on the winning of the second starting port 34 in the sound light side MPU 92. In the update process of the second reserved quantity counter area, the information of the second reserved quantity counter area is updated to the information of the reserved quantity included in the command to be read this time. After executing step S1703, the process proceeds to step S1704.

The reason why the processes of steps S1702 and S1703 are performed as described above will be described. In the present embodiment, while the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off, the backup power is supplied to the RAM 64 of the main control device 60, whereas the backup power is supplied to the RAM 94 of the voice emission control device 90. Not done. Therefore, if the power is cut off in a situation where the hold information relating to the winning of the first start port 33 or the second start port 34 is stored in the RAM 64 of the main control device 60, the hold information is stored in the main control device 60. While the memory is retained, the voice emission control device 90 grasps that the number of reserved information is zero. In this case, if a configuration is adopted in which the first hold quantity counter area or the second hold count counter area is counted up each time the voice emission control device 90 receives a hold command, the main control device 60 actually holds the hold storage. There may be a problem that the number of reserved information being held does not match the number of reserved information grasped by the voice emission control device 90. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment described above, the main control device 60 transmits the hold command including the information on the number of holds, and the voice emission control device 90 sends the hold command each time the hold command is received. By adopting a configuration in which the information on the number of reserved items to be included is set in the first reserved number counter area or the second reserved number counter area, the occurrence of the above-mentioned inconvenience can be suppressed.

In step S1704, the update process of the total number of reserved counter areas provided in the various counter areas 94b of the sound light side RAM 94 is executed. The total number of reserved information counter area is the sum of the number of reserved information acquired based on the winning of the first starting port 33 and the number of reserved information acquired based on the winning of the second starting port 34. It is a counter area for identification in the side MPU 92. In the update process, the information of the total reserved quantity counter area is the sum information of the information of the reserved quantity measured in the first reserved quantity counter area and the information of the reserved quantity measured in the second reserved quantity counter area. Update to. After executing step S1704, the update process at the time of the final winning is completed.

<Confirmation process>
Next, the confirmation process will be described. The confirmation process is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 27: S1602) of the hold command corresponding process. As described above, if the hold command has already been set with information such as whether or not a jackpot has been won, the type of jackpot, and whether or not a reach has occurred, this confirmation process can be omitted.

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the confirmation process. As described above, the confirmation process is a process executed when it is determined that the hold command is received from the main MPU 62. Hereinafter, the processing of each step executed in the confirmation processing will be described. The contents of each table stored in the hold confirmation table storage area 93a of the sound / light side ROM 93 described in each of the following steps include the pass / fail table storage area 63a of the main ROM 63, the distribution table storage area 63b, and the distribution table storage area 63b. It is the same as the contents of each table stored in the reach determination table storage area 63c.

In step S1801, the information of the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 included in the hold command to be read this time is grasped. After that, the process proceeds to step S1802, and it is determined whether or not the current winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode. Specifically, when the high-probability mode flag is not stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94, it is determined that the mode is low-probability mode, and when the high-probability mode flag is stored, it is determined. , It is determined that the mode is not the low probability mode, that is, the high probability mode. The high-probability mode flag is stored when a high-probability mode command is received from the main MPU 62.

If it is determined in step S1802 that the mode is in the low probability mode (S1802: YES), the process proceeds to step S1803, and the pass / fail table for the low probability mode stored in the hold confirmation table storage area 93a of the sound light side ROM 93 is displayed. refer. After that, the process proceeds to step S1805, and as a result of referring to the hit / fail table for the low probability mode, it is determined whether or not the value information of the jackpot random number counter C1 grasped this time corresponds to the jackpot. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1802 that the mode is not the low probability mode (S1802: NO), the process proceeds to step S1804, and the high probability mode pass / fail table stored in the hold confirmation table storage area 93a of the sound light side ROM 93. Refer to. After that, the process proceeds to step S1805, and as a result of referring to the hit / fail table for the high probability mode, it is determined whether or not the value information of the jackpot random number counter C1 grasped this time corresponds to the jackpot.

If it is determined in step S1805 that the value information of the jackpot random number counter C1 grasped this time corresponds to the jackpot (S1805: YES), the process proceeds to step S1806, and the hold command to be read this time is set. Grasp the information of the value of the included jackpot type counter C2. After that, the process proceeds to step S1807, and the distribution table stored in the hold confirmation table storage area 93a of the sound light side ROM 93 is referred to. Specifically, when the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33, the second starting port distribution table is referred to. If it is transmitted based on the winning of the starting port 34, the distribution table for the second starting port is referred to.

In step S1808, as a result of referring to the distribution table, it is determined whether or not the value information of the jackpot type counter C2 grasped this time corresponds to the probability variation jackpot. If it is determined in step S1808 that the probability variation jackpot is supported (S1808: YES), the process proceeds to step S1809, and the probability variation jackpot information is temporarily stored in the register of the sound light side MPU 92. After that, this confirmation process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1808 that the probability variation jackpot is not supported (S1808: NO), the process proceeds to step S1810, and the normal jackpot information is temporarily stored in the register of the sound light side MPU 92. After that, this confirmation process ends.

If it is determined in step S1805 that the value information of the jackpot random number counter C1 grasped this time does not correspond to the jackpot (S1805: NO), the process proceeds to step S1811, and the hold command to be read this time is set. The information of the value of the included reach random number counter C3 is grasped. After that, the process proceeds to step S1812, and the reach determination table stored in the hold confirmation table storage area 93a of the sound light side ROM 93 is referred to. After that, the process proceeds to step S1813, and as a result of referring to the reach determination table, it is determined whether or not the value information of the reach random number counter C3 grasped this time corresponds to the reach generation.

If it is determined in step S1813 that the reach generation is supported (S1813: YES), the process proceeds to step S1814, and the reach generation information is temporarily stored in the register of the sound light side MPU 92. After that, this confirmation process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1813 that the reach generation is not supported (S1813: NO), the confirmation process is terminated as it is.

<Processing for déjà vu notice>
Next, the process for notifying the déjà vu will be described. The déjà vu warning process is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 27: S1603) of the process corresponding to the hold command.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the déjà vu warning process. In step S1901, it is determined whether or not the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33. In step S1901, when it is determined that the hold command to be read this time is not transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33 (S1901: NO), that is, the winning of the second starting port 34 If it is determined that the transmission was performed based on the above, the process proceeds to step S1902.

In step S1902, it is determined whether or not the first déjà vu warning flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94. The first déjà vu notice flag is stored when the above-mentioned déjà vu notice is started triggered by the hold information based on the winning of the first starting port 33, and is deleted when the déjà vu notice is terminated. It is a flag to be done.

If it is determined in step S1902 that the first déjà vu notice flag is stored (S1902: YES), the process proceeds to step S1903, the first déjà vu notice flag is erased, and the process proceeds to step S1904. Set "0" in the counter area for déjà vu warning of the sound / light side RAM 94. Then, the process proceeds to step S1905.

When the counter area for déjà vu notice is set to execute the déjà vu notice, the sound light side MPU 92 specifies how many times the déjà vu notice is executed thereafter. It is a measuring means for doing so. As will be described later, information on the number of reserved items is set in the counter area for déjà vu advance notice, and is updated so as to be decremented by 1 each time a new game round is started. Then, when the information stored in the déjà vu warning counter area is the initial value "0" after the update, the déjà vu warning flag stored at that time is deleted.

Here, if the hold command is transmitted based on the winning of the second starting port 34, in other words, when there is a winning of the second starting port 34, the first déjà vu notice flag The reason for erasing is explained. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the hold information related to the winning of the second starting port 34 is subject to the jackpot lottery with priority over the holding information of the winning of the first starting port 33. If there is a prize in the starting port 34, the order of the jackpot lottery for the reserved information will be changed, and the premise of the déjà vu notice that has already been set with the winning in the first starting port 33 will be broken. It ends up. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the second starting port 34 is won, the first déjà vu notice flag is erased, so that the premise is broken. I decided to cancel the execution.

If it is determined in step S1902 that the first déjà vu warning flag is not stored (S1902: NO), the process proceeds to step S1905 without executing steps S1903 and S1904.

If it is determined in step S1901 that the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S1901: YES), step S1902, step S1903 and step. The process proceeds to step S1905 without executing S1904, that is, without executing the elimination of the first déjà vu warning flag.

In the processes from step S1905 to step S1911, which will be described next, the process related to the jackpot hold flag is executed. Therefore, prior to the description of the processes from step S1905 to step S1911, the jackpot hold flag, the first erase counter area and the second erase counter area used for determining whether or not to erase the jackpot hold flag will be described. To do.

The jackpot hold flag includes the hold information corresponding to the jackpot in the hold information held and stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit or the hold area Rb for the second result display unit of the main control device 60. If so, it is the information for specifying it by the sound light side MPU 92. In the jackpot hold flag erasure process, in the situation where the jackpot hold flag is stored, both the information stored in the first erasure counter area and the second erasure counter area, which will be described later, are initial values of "0". It is executed when is.

In the first erasing counter area, when the hold information corresponding to the jackpot is stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit, the hold information becomes the start target of the game round and is used for the first result display unit. This is a measuring means for specifying the timing of being erased from the holding area Ra by the sound light side MPU 92. The information on the number of hold items set in the first erasure counter area is used for the hold information stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit (that is, winning a prize in the first start port 33), as will be described later. (Holding information acquired based on) is updated so that it is deducted by 1 each time a new game round is started.

In the second erasing counter area, when the hold information corresponding to the jackpot is stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit, the hold information becomes the start target of the game round and is used for the second result display unit. This is a measuring means for specifying the timing of erasing from the holding area Rb by the sound light side MPU 92. The information on the number of hold items set in the second erasure counter area is used for the hold information stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit (that is, for winning a prize in the second start port 34), as will be described later. (Holding information acquired based on) is updated so that it is deducted by 1 each time a new game round is started. The following returns to the description of the processing related to the jackpot hold flag.

In step S1905, it is determined whether or not the hold command to be read this time is a hold command corresponding to a jackpot. If it is determined in step S1905 that the hold command to be read this time is a hold command corresponding to a jackpot (S1905: YES), the process proceeds to step S1906, and the hold command to be read this time is the first. 1 It is determined whether or not the command is transmitted based on the winning of the starting port 33.

If it is determined in step S1906 that the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33 (S1906: YES), the process proceeds to step S1907, and this time. The information on the number of first holdes included in the hold command to be read is specified, and the information on the number of first holds specified is set in the first erasing counter area. After executing step S1907, the process proceeds to step S1909.

In step S1906, when it is determined that the hold command to be read this time is not transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S1906: NO), that is, the hold command is the second start port. If it is determined that the command was transmitted based on the winning of 34, the process proceeds to step S1908, and the information on the second reserved number included in the command to be read this time is specified, and the specified second is specified. 2 Information on the number of pending items is set for the second erasing counter area. After executing step S1908, the process proceeds to step S1909.

In step S1909, it is determined whether or not the jackpot hold flag is stored in the sound light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S1909 that the jackpot hold flag is stored (S1909: YES), the process corresponding to this hold command is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1909 that the jackpot hold flag is not stored (S1909: NO), the process proceeds to step S1910, and the jackpot hold flag is stored in the sound light side RAM 94. After executing step S1910, the process proceeds to step S1912.

If it is determined in step S1905 that the hold command to be read this time is not a hold command corresponding to the jackpot (S1905: NO), the process proceeds to step S1911, and the jackpot hold flag is stored in the sound light side RAM 94. Judge whether or not.

If it is determined in step S1911 that the jackpot hold flag is not stored in the sound light side RAM 94 (S1911: NO), the process proceeds to step S1912. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1911 that the jackpot hold flag is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94 (S1911: YES), the process corresponding to this hold command is terminated as it is.

As described in the processes from step S1905 to step S1911, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the jackpot hold flag is already stored (S1909: YES, S1911: YES), the feeling of déjà vu Various settings for executing the notice are not made. As a result, in a situation where the hold information corresponding to the jackpot is already stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit or the hold area Rb for the second result display unit of the main control device 60, the first start port 33 or the first start port 33 or the first. 2 Even if new hold information is acquired based on the winning of the starting port 34, various settings for executing the déjà vu notice are not made.

In step S1912, it is determined whether or not the first déjà vu warning flag is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S1912 that the first déjà vu notice flag is stored (S1912: YES), the process corresponding to this hold command is terminated as it is. That is, when the first déjà vu notice flag is stored, the déjà vu notice generation lottery process in step S19 is not executed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1912 that the first déjà vu warning flag is not stored (S1912: NO), the process proceeds to step S1913.

In step S1913, it is determined whether or not the second déjà vu warning flag is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S1913 that the second déjà vu notice flag is stored (S1913: YES), the process for responding to this hold command is terminated as it is. That is, when the second déjà vu notice flag is stored, the déjà vu notice generation lottery process in step S1917 is not executed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1913 that the second déjà vu warning flag is not stored (S1913: NO), the process proceeds to step S16.

That is, in a situation where it has already been set to execute the déjà vu notice based on either the hold information related to the winning of the first starting port 33 or the holding information related to the winning of the second starting port 34. Does not make a new setting for executing the déjà vu notice even if a new hold command is received.

In step S1914, it is determined whether or not the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33. If it is determined in step S1914 that the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S1914: YES), the process proceeds to step S1915 and the total hold is performed. It is determined whether or not the number of reserved pieces measured in the number counter area is two or more.

If it is determined in step S1915 that the total number of reserved items is two or more (S1915: YES), the process proceeds to step S1917 to execute the déjà vu notice generation lottery process. The details of the lottery process for generating déjà vu notice will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1915 that the total number of pending commands is not two or more (S1915: NO), the process corresponding to this pending command is terminated without executing the déjà vu notice generation lottery process in step S1917. ..

In step S1914, when it is determined that the hold command to be read this time is not transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S1914: NO), that is, the hold command is the second start port. If it is determined that the command was transmitted based on the winning of 34, the process proceeds to step S1916, and it is determined whether or not the number of reserved items measured in the second reserved number counter area is 2 or more. ..

If it is determined in step S1916 that the number of second reserved pieces is two or more (S1916: YES), the process proceeds to step S1917 to execute the déjà vu notice generation lottery process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1916 that the number of second reserved items is not two or more, the déjà vu notice generation process is terminated without executing the déjà vu notice generation lottery process in step S1917.

That is, when the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33, the déjà vu notice is given only when the total number of hold commands is 2 or more. The generation lottery process is executed. On the other hand, when the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the second start port 34, the déjà vu is felt only when the number of the second hold is 2 or more. Execute the notice generation lottery process. The reason for this is that the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment uses two or more game times to execute the déjà vu notice. When the hold command is transmitted based on the winning of the second start port 34, the reason for using the second hold number as a reference is that in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the second start port 34 This is because the hold information acquired by winning the prize is subject to the jackpot lottery in preference to the hold information acquired by the prize of the first starting port 33.

<Lottery process for déjà vu notice>
Next, the lottery process for generating a déjà vu notice will be described. The déjà vu notice generation lottery process is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 30: S1917) of the déjà vu notice generation process.

FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing a lottery process for generating a déjà vu notice. In step S2001, it is determined whether or not the hold command to be read this time corresponds to a jackpot or reach occurrence. If it is determined in step S2001 that neither the jackpot nor the occurrence of reach is supported (S2001: NO), the lottery process for generating the déjà vu notice is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2001 that the jackpot or reach is generated (S2001: YES), the process proceeds to step S2002, and the déjà vu advance notice random number counter is displayed from the lottery counter area 94c of the sound light side RAM 94. The value (numerical information) is read out, and the déjà vu notice generation table stored in the déjà vu notice generation table storage area 93b of the sound light side ROM 93 is referred to, and in step S2003, the read déjà vu notice is used. It is determined whether or not the random number counter value corresponds to the winning of the déjà vu notice.

The probability of winning the déjà vu notice can be set arbitrarily. For example, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to refer to the déjà vu notice generation table for the jackpot when a hold command corresponding to the jackpot is received, and the déjà vu for the jackpot is referred to. The notice generation table is set so that the hold notice generation winning is won with a probability of 7/10. On the other hand, when a hold command corresponding to the occurrence of reach is received, it is configured to refer to the déjà vu notice generation table for reach, and the déjà vu notice generation table for the reach is 10 minutes. It is set so that there is a probability of 1 that the hold notice will be won.

If it is determined in step S2003 that the random number counter value for déjà vu notice does not correspond to the déjà vu notice occurrence winning (S2003: NO), the déjà vu notice occurrence lottery process ends. On the other hand, in step S2003, when it is determined that the random number counter value for déjà vu notice corresponds to the winning of déjà vu notice (S2003: YES), the condition for generating déjà vu notice is satisfied. And proceed to step S2004.

In step S2004, a process of determining the advance notice effect for déjà vu notice is executed. Specifically, the random number counter value (numerical information) for the advance notice effect is read from the lottery counter area 94c of the sound light side RAM 94, and is stored in the advance notice effect table storage area 93c for the déjà vu side ROM 93. Refer to the déjà vu notice notice effect table, and determine the déjà vu notice notice effect corresponding to the random number counter value for the déjà vu notice. The déjà vu notice notice effect table includes the contents of the notice effect that can be executed with the shortest display duration or less of the display duration stored in the display duration table of the main ROM 63, and a random number counter for the notice effect. The value is stored in association with it. In the present embodiment, the random number counter value for the advance notice effect determined by the lottery and the advance notice effect table for the déjà vu advance notice are used to determine the advance notice effect for the déjà vu advance notice. The predetermined advance notice effect may be used as a advance notice effect for déjà vu advance notice. In this case, the predetermined advance notice effect is a notice effect that can be executed with the shortest display duration or less of the display durations stored in the display duration table of the main ROM 63. Further, for example, the advance notice effect for the déjà vu notice this time is the advance notice effect A, and the advance notice effect for the déjà vu notice to be determined when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied next time is the advance notice effect B. In addition, the order of the advance notice effect for the déjà vu notice to be determined may be set in advance. As described above, the pachinko machine 10 can intentionally and actively determine the type and content of the advance notice effect for déjà vu advance notice to be executed in each game time by adopting various methods.

After executing step S2004, the process proceeds to step S2005, and the determined type information of the déjà vu advance notice effect is stored in the déjà vu advance notice effect storage area 94d of the sound light side RAM 94. Then, the process proceeds to step S2006.

In step S2006, the process of determining the stop symbol for déjà vu notice is executed. Specifically, the random number counter value (numerical information) for the stop symbol is read from the lottery counter area 94c of the sound light side RAM 94, and is stored in the stop symbol table storage area 93d for déjà vu notice of the sound light side ROM 93. Refer to the stop symbol table for déjà vu notice, and determine the stop symbol corresponding to the random number counter value for the stop symbol. As the stop symbol for the déjà vu notice, the stop symbol for the disengagement result is determined. After executing step S2006, the process proceeds to step S2007, and the determined type information of the stop symbol for déjà vu warning is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94. Then, the process proceeds to step S2008.

In step S2008, it is determined whether or not the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first starting port 33. If it is determined in step S2008 that the hold command to be read this time is transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S2008: YES), the process proceeds to step S2009, and the sound is emitted. The first déjà vu warning flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the side RAM 94. After that, the process proceeds to step S2010, and the information stored in the total reserved number counter area of the sound light side RAM 94 is set in the déjà vu warning counter area of the sound light side RAM 94. After that, the process for notifying the déjà vu is completed. As a result, the déjà vu notice is set to be executed with the hold information related to the first start port 33 as an opportunity.

If it is determined in step S2008 that the hold command to be read this time is not transmitted based on the winning of the first start port 33 (S2008: NO), the process proceeds to step S2011, and the sound light side The second déjà vu warning flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the RAM 94. After that, the process proceeds to step S2012, and the information stored in the second reserved number counter area of the sound light side RAM 94 is set in the déjà vu warning counter area of the sound light side RAM 94. After that, the process for notifying the déjà vu is completed. As a result, the state in which the déjà vu notice should be executed is set with the hold information related to the second start port 34 as an opportunity.

<Production setting process>
Next, the effect setting process will be described. The effect setting process is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 26: S1504) of the command correspondence process.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the effect setting process. As described above, the effect setting process is a process executed when it is determined that the variation command and the type command have been received, and is a process for setting the content of the effect executed in the current game round. .. Hereinafter, specific processing of the effect setting processing will be described.

In step S2101, the variable command received this time is read, the information on the presence / absence of reach occurrence and the information on the display duration are specified from the command, the type command received this time is read, and the 16R probability variation jackpot is obtained from the command. The information of the result of the jackpot lottery such as the information, the information of the 8R probability variation jackpot, the information of the 16R normal jackpot, the information of the 8R normal jackpot, or the information of the loss result is specified. Then, in step S2101, from the above-specified information, information on whether or not a jackpot has been won, information on the type of jackpot if the jackpot has been won, information on whether or not a reach has occurred if the jackpot has not been won, and the display duration. Information is grasped, and the grasped information is stored in the register of the sound light side MPU 92. After executing step S2101, the process proceeds to step S2102.

In step S2102, it is determined whether or not the déjà vu warning flag is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S2102 that the déjà vu notice flag is stored (S2102: YES), that is, if the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S2103 and the déjà vu notice is felt. Executes the setting process of the effect corresponding to the notice. In this process, in the current game round in which the déjà vu notice is executed, the déjà vu notice notice effect determined in S2004 of FIG. 31 is executed, and the déjà vu notice determined in S2006 of FIG. 31 is executed. It is set to execute the symbol stop effect using the stop symbol for. The details of the effect setting process corresponding to the déjà vu notice will be described later.

If it is determined in step S2102 that the déjà vu notice flag is not stored (S2102: NO), the process proceeds to step S2104, and the notice effect generation lottery process is executed. In the advance notice effect generation lottery process, it is determined by lottery whether or not to execute the normal advance notice effect in this game round. The normal advance notice effect can occur in both the game times when the reach display is performed and when the reach display is not performed, but the case where the reach display is performed is better than the case where the reach display is not performed. Is set to occur with a high probability. Further, in the advance notice effect generation lottery process, the advance notice effect is more likely to occur in the game times corresponding to the big hit than in the game times corresponding to the missed result, and further, the advance notice effect with a low appearance rate is more likely to occur. Lottery will be held. After executing step S2104, the process proceeds to step S2105.

In step S2105, as a result of the advance notice effect generation lottery process in step S2104, it is determined whether or not the advance notice effect generation has been won. If it is determined in step S2105 that the advance notice effect has been won (step S2105: YES), the process proceeds to step S2106, and the winning advance notice effect is set to be executed in this game round. Then, the process proceeds to step S2107. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2105 that the advance notice effect generation has not been won (step S2105: NO), the process proceeds to step S2107 without executing step S2106.

In step S2107, the stop symbol setting process is executed. In the stop symbol setting process, if the result of the jackpot lottery of this game round is 16R probability variation jackpot, 8R probability variation jackpot, 16R normal jackpot, or 8R normal jackpot, the same symbol is displayed on the effective line L. The information corresponding to the stop result in which the combination is established is set as the information of the stop symbol this time. Specifically, when the result of the jackpot lottery of this game round is a 16R probability variation jackpot or an 8R probability variation jackpot, the same odd-numbered symbol combination can be selected as the same symbol combination, and the same. A combination of even symbols can be selected. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the selectivity is the same for the combination of the same odd-numbered symbols and the same combination of even-numbered symbols, but instead, the former is selected over the latter. The configuration may have a high rate, and the latter may have a higher selection rate than the former. Further, the combination of "7" symbols is selected only in the case of 16R probability variation jackpot. Further, when the result of the jackpot lottery of this game round is 16R normal jackpot or 8R normal jackpot, the same even-numbered symbol combination is selected as the same symbol combination.

If the result of the jackpot lottery of this game is a deviation result, it is determined whether or not reach has occurred from the content of the variable command. When it is determined that the reach is generated, the stop result is that the same symbol combination is not established on the effective line L, and the stop result is that the reach symbol combination is established on the effective line L. The information is determined as the information of the result of this stop. On the other hand, when it is determined that the reach does not correspond to the occurrence of the reach, the stop result is that the combination of the same symbols is not established on the effective line L, and the combination of the reach symbols is not established on the effective line L. The corresponding information is set as the information of the stop symbol this time. After executing step S2107, the process proceeds to step S2108.

In step S2108, a process for determining the variation display pattern of the current game times is executed. In the process, the information on the display duration of the current game is specified from the content of the variable command received this time, the information on the display duration, the information on the variable display time included in the display duration, and the information on the variable display time included in the display duration. And the variable display pattern corresponding to the combination of the information of the stop symbol specified in step S2107 is selected. When selecting the variation display pattern, the variation display pattern table stored in the variation display pattern table storage area 93e of the sound light side ROM 93 is referred to.

After executing the effect setting process corresponding to the déjà vu notice in step S2103, or after setting the variation display pattern in step S2108, the process proceeds to step S2109.

In step S2109, the type information of the advance notice effect, the number of times the advance notice effect is executed, the type information of the stop symbol, and the type information of the variable display pattern set in the current game round are set in the effect command. After that, the process proceeds to step S2110, and the effect command is transmitted to the display side MPU 102. The display-side MPU 102 executes a process of displaying the effect content corresponding to the received effect command on the symbol display device 41. After executing step S2110, the process proceeds to step S2111, the update process at the start of fluctuation is executed, and then the effect setting process ends. The details of the update process at the start of fluctuation will be described later.

<Production setting process corresponding to déjà vu notice>
Next, the setting process of the effect corresponding to the déjà vu notice will be described. The effect setting process corresponding to the déjà vu notice is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 32: S2103) of the effect setting process.

FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing a setting process of the effect corresponding to the déjà vu notice. As described above, this setting process is a process executed when the current game time is one of a plurality of game times for executing the déjà vu notice, and is executed in the current game time. It is a process of setting a notice effect, a symbol stop effect, and a variable display pattern. Hereinafter, the processing of each step executed in this setting processing will be described.

In step S2201, the type information of the déjà vu advance notice effect stored in the déjà vu advance notice effect storage area 94d of the sound light side RAM 94 is grasped. After that, the process proceeds to step S2202, and the type information of the stop symbol for déjà vu notice stored in the sound / light side RAM 94 is grasped. Then, the process proceeds to step S2203.

In step S2203, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area of the sound / light side RAM 94 is “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not the game times executed this time are the game times related to the reserved information that satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game times related to the hold information for which the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied are the game times related to the big hit or the occurrence of reach. Therefore, in the case of the game times related to the reserved information that satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, a relatively long display duration is set.

In step S2203, when it is determined that the value stored in the déjà vu counter area is not "1" (S2203: NO), that is, the game times executed this time are the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice. If it is not the game times related to the satisfied hold information, the process proceeds to step S2204, and within the display duration of the game times executed this time, the advance notice effect for déjà vu notice grasped in step S2201 can be executed a plurality of times. Judge whether or not.

If it is determined in step S2204 that the advance notice effect for déjà vu notice cannot be executed a plurality of times within the display duration (S2204: NO), the process proceeds to step S2205, and the advance notice effect for déjà vu notice is set to 1. Set to run once. Then, the process proceeds to step S2208.

If it is determined in step S2204 that the déjà vu advance notice effect can be executed a plurality of times within the display duration (S2204: YES), the process proceeds to step S2206 to perform the déjà vu advance notice effect. Set to run multiple times. Specifically, if the advance notice effect for the déjà vu notice can be executed twice within the display duration, the advance notice effect is set to be executed twice, and the déjà vu notice effect is executed within the display duration. When the advance notice effect for advance notice can be executed three times, the advance notice effect is set to be executed three times. The pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is set so that the advance notice effect for déjà vu notice is executed up to three times in one game. However, the maximum number of times of the advance notice effect executed in one game may be set to once or twice, or may be set to four or more times.

In addition, the number of times the notice effect for déjà vu notice can be executed within the display duration in this game time is set to M times, and the actual number of times the notice effect for déjà vu notice is executed in this game time is N. In the case of times, the relationship between M and N is not limited to M = N. The value of N can be arbitrarily set as long as the relationship of M ≧ N ≧ 1 is satisfied. For example, if the number of times the notice effect for déjà vu notice can be executed is 5 times within the display duration in this game, the actual number of times the notice effect for déjà vu notice is executed is 5 times or more. It can be set arbitrarily within a single range. The value of N can be determined by various methods such as determination by lottery and determination using table data in which M and N are associated with each other. In this way, the number of executions of the effect elements having the same content can be intentionally and actively determined.

After executing step S2206, the process proceeds to step S2207, and in this game round, after executing the advance notice effect for the déjà vu notice, the stop symbol for the déjà vu notice grasped in step S2202 is pseudo-stopped. Set to execute the symbol pseudo stop effect. Then, the process proceeds to step S2208.

After executing step S2205 or step S2207, in step S2208, as the stop symbol in the current game round, the stop symbol for déjà vu notice grasped in step S2202 is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S2212.

In step S2203, when it is determined that the value stored in the déjà vu notice counter area is "1" (S2201: YES), that is, the game times executed this time are the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice. If the game times are related to the reserved information in which is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S2209, and the advance notice effect for déjà vu advance notice is set to be executed once, and the above-mentioned suggestion effect, battle effect, jackpot, or It is set to execute the result production corresponding to the out-of-order result in this game round. As described above, since the game times related to the hold information that satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice are the game times related to the big hit or the occurrence of reach, a relatively long display duration is set. When selecting each type of suggestion effect, battle effect, and result effect, within the time required for the advance notice effect for déjà vu notice from the display duration set in this game. Select a combination of feasible effects. After executing step S2209, the process proceeds to step S2210.

In step S2210, after executing the notice effect for déjà vu notice in this game round, the symbol pseudo stop effect for pseudo-stopping the stop symbol for déjà vu notice grasped in step S2202 is executed. Set to. Then, the process proceeds to step S2211.

In step S2211, a stop symbol corresponding to the result of the jackpot lottery of this game round is set. Since the details of the stop symbol setting process are the same as the process in step S2107 of FIG. 32, the description thereof will be omitted. Then, the process proceeds to step S2212.

In step S2212, a process for determining the variation display pattern of the current game times is executed. In the process, the information on the display duration of the current game is specified from the content of the variable command received this time, the information on the display duration, the information on the variable display time included in the display duration, and the information on the variable display time included in the display duration. And the variable display pattern corresponding to the combination of the information of the stop symbol for déjà vu notice specified in step S2202 is selected. When selecting the variation display pattern, the variation display pattern table stored in the variation display pattern table storage area 93e of the sound light side ROM 93 is referred to. After executing step S2212, this setting process ends.

<Update process at the start of fluctuation>
Next, the update process at the start of fluctuation will be described. The update process at the start of the fluctuation is executed by the MPU 92 of the voice emission control device 90 as a subroutine (FIG. 32: S2111) of the effect setting process.

FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing an update process at the start of fluctuation. In the processes from step S2301 to step S2311 described below, the counter values of the various hold number counter areas are updated and the process related to the elimination of the jackpot hold flag is executed with the start of the game round.

As described above, the jackpot hold flag is a jackpot in the hold information stored in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit or the hold area Rb for the second result display unit of the main control device 60. This flag is stored when the corresponding hold information is included. Further, when the hold information corresponding to the jackpot is stored in the first erasure counter area, the order in which the hold information is the start target of the game round in the hold area Ra for the first result display unit is. Information for identifying is stored. Further, when the hold information corresponding to the jackpot is stored in the second erasure counter area, the order in which the hold information is the start target of the game round in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit is in what order. Information for identifying is stored. Therefore, when both the value of the first erasing counter area and the value of the second erasing counter area are "0" as the initial value, the holding area Ra for the first result display unit of the main control device 60 or It means that the hold information corresponding to the jackpot is not included in the hold information held and stored in the hold area Rb for the second result display unit, and in this case, the jackpot hold flag is deleted. Hereinafter, the processing of each step executed in the update processing at the start of fluctuation will be described.

In step S2301, the information in the total hold quantity counter area is updated so that the total hold quantity stored in the total hold quantity counter area of the sound light side RAM 94 is subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S2302.

In step S2302, it is determined whether or not the variation command received this time is the first variation command. If it is determined in step S2302 that the command is for the first variation (S2302: YES), the process proceeds to step S2303, and the number of holds stored in the first hold number counter area of the sound light side RAM 94 is decremented by 1. As such, the information of the first reserved quantity counter area is updated. Then, the process proceeds to step S2304.

In step S2304, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the first erasing counter area of the sound light side RAM 94 is 1 or more. If it is determined in step S2304 that the value stored in the first erasing counter area is 1 or more (S2304: YES), the process proceeds to step S2305 and the value stored in the first erasing counter area is stored. Is updated by 1 so that the information in the first erasing counter area is decremented. Then, the process proceeds to step S2309.

If it is determined in step S2304 that the value stored in the first erasing counter area is not 1 or more (S2304: NO), the process proceeds to step S2312 without executing steps S2305 and 09 to S2311.

If it is determined in step S2302 that it is not the first fluctuation command (S2302: NO), that is, if the fluctuation command received this time is the second fluctuation command, the process proceeds to step S2306, and the sound light side RAM 94 The information in the second reserved quantity counter area is updated so that the reserved quantity stored in the second reserved quantity counter area is subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S2307.

In step S2307, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the second erasing counter area of the sound / light side RAM 94 is “1” or more. If it is determined in step S2307 that the value stored in the second erasing counter area is 1 or more (S2307: YES), the process proceeds to step S2308, and the value stored in the second erasing counter area is stored. Is updated by 1 so that the information in the second erasing counter area is updated. Then, the process proceeds to step S2309.

If it is determined in step S2307 that the value stored in the second erasing counter area is not 1 or more (S2307: NO), the process proceeds to step S2312 without executing steps S2308, 09 to S2311.

In step S2309, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the first erasing counter area is "0". If it is determined in step S2309 that the value stored in the first erasing counter area is "0" (S2309: YES), the process proceeds to step S2310. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2309 that the value stored in the first erasing counter area is not "0" (S2309: NO), the process proceeds to step S2312 without executing steps S2310 and S2311. ..

In step S2310, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the second erasing counter area is “0”. If it is determined in step S2310 that the value stored in the second erasing counter area is "0" (S2310: YES), the process proceeds to step S2311 to erase the jackpot hold flag. That is, when the value stored in the first erasing counter area is "0" and the value stored in the second erasing counter area is "0", the jackpot hold flag is erased. .. Then, the process proceeds to step S2312. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2310 that the value stored in the second erasing counter area is not "0" (S2310: NO), the process proceeds to step S2312 without executing step S2311.

In the processes from step S2312 to step S2317 described below, a process related to erasing the déjà vu warning flag is executed. Hereinafter, specific processing will be described.

In step S2312, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area of the sound / light side RAM 94 is “1” or more. If it is determined in step S2312 that the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area is not "1" or more (S2312: NO), the update process at the start of this fluctuation is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2312 that the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area is "1" or more (S2312: YES), the process proceeds to step S2313.

In step S2313, the information in the déjà vu counter area is updated so that the value stored in the déjà vu counter area of the sound / light side RAM 94 is subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S2314.

In step S2314, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area of the sound / light side RAM 94 is “0”. If it is determined in step S2314 that the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area is not "0", the update process at the start of this fluctuation is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value stored in the déjà vu warning counter area is "0", the process proceeds to step S2315.

In step S2315, it is determined whether or not the variation command received this time is the first variation command. If it is determined in step S2315 that the command is for the first variation, the process proceeds to step S2316, and the first déjà vu warning flag of the sound / light side RAM 94 is erased. After that, the update process at the start of this fluctuation is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2315 that the command is not the first fluctuation command, that is, if the fluctuation command received this time is the second fluctuation command, the process proceeds to step S2317, and the sound light side RAM 94 is second-viewed. Clear the feeling warning flag. After that, the update process at the start of this fluctuation is terminated.

<Various processes executed in the display control device>
Next, the process executed in the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 will be described.

The processes executed in the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 are mainly the main process that is repeatedly executed from the time the power is turned on until the power is turned off, and the process that is executed when a command is received from the voice emission control device 90. There are a command interrupt process and a V interrupt process executed when a V interrupt signal transmitted from the VDP 105 is detected. The V interrupt signal is a signal transmitted from the VDP 105 to the MPU 102 every 20 milliseconds when the drawing process of the image for one frame is completed.

The MPU 102 executes the main process after the power is turned on, and executes the command interrupt process and the V interrupt process in accordance with the reception of the command and the detection of the V interrupt signal. When the command reception and the V interrupt signal detection are performed at the same time, the command interrupt process is preferentially executed. Therefore, the V interrupt process can be executed by quickly reflecting the content of the command received from the voice emission control device 90.

<Main processing>
Next, the main process executed by the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 will be described.

FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the main process executed in the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. As described above, the main process is a process that is executed when the power is turned on and continues to be executed until the power is turned off. Hereinafter, the processing of each step executed in the main processing will be described.

In step S2401, the initial setting process is executed. Specifically, first, the process of initializing the MPU 102 and clearing the storage of the work RAM 104 and the video RAM 107 is performed. Then, the character information in the compressed format stored in the character ROM 106 is read out, the read character information is decompressed, and the decompressed character information is stored in the character area of the video RAM 107. Further, in order to display the initial screen, the information corresponding to the initial screen is extracted from the character information written in the video RAM 107, and the extracted character information is written in the frame buffer area of the video RAM 107. Also, make other settings necessary for initialization. Then, the process proceeds to step S2402.

In step S2402, the interrupt permission setting is executed. After the interrupt enable setting is executed, infinite loop processing is executed in the main processing until the power is turned off. As a result, after the interrupt permission is set, the command interrupt processing and the V interrupt processing described below are executed in accordance with the reception of the command and the detection of the V interrupt signal.

Next, the command interrupt processing executed in the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 will be described. As described above, the command interrupt process is a process executed every time a command is received from the voice emission control device 90.

<Command interrupt processing>
FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a command interrupt process executed by the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. In step S2501, the command storage process is executed. In the command storage process, the received command data is extracted, and the extracted command data is stored in the command storage area provided in the work RAM 104. Various commands stored in the command storage area by the command storage process are read by the command determination process of the V interrupt process described later, and the process corresponding to the command is executed.

<V interrupt processing>
Next, the V interrupt process executed in the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 will be described.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing V interrupt processing executed in the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. As described above, the V interrupt process is a process executed by detecting the V interrupt signal from the VDP 105. In the V interrupt processing, various processes corresponding to the commands stored in the command storage area are executed by the command interrupt processing, and after specifying the image to be displayed on the symbol display device 41, the image is drawn and drawn on the VDP 105. Execute display instructions.

As described above, the V interrupt signal is a signal that is generated in the VDP 105 every 20 milliseconds when the drawing process of the image for one frame is completed and is transmitted to the MPU 102. Therefore, when the MPU 102 executes the V interrupt process in synchronization with the V interrupt signal, the drawing instruction to the VDP 105 is given every 20 milliseconds when the drawing process of the image for one frame is completed. Therefore, the VDP 105 does not receive a drawing instruction for the next image before the image drawing processing and display processing are completed, so that the drawing of a new image can be started or displayed during the drawing of the image. It is possible to prevent the image from being expanded in accordance with a new drawing instruction in the frame buffer area in which the image information inside is stored. Hereinafter, the processing details of each step of the V interrupt processing will be described.

In step S2601, command correspondence processing is executed. In the command handling process, the content of the command stored in the command storage area is analyzed by the command interrupt processing (FIG. 36), and the processing corresponding to the command is executed. Specifically, for example, when an effect command is stored, control of image drawing and display is started so that the effect mode specified by the effect command is displayed on the symbol display device 41.

When the effect operation command is stored, it is determined whether or not it is the acceptance period for pressing the effect operation button 24, and when it is determined that it is the acceptance period for pressing the effect operation button 24, the effect operation is performed. Control of drawing and displaying an image is started so that the effect mode corresponding to the pressing of the button 24 is displayed on the symbol display device 41. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not the acceptance period for pressing the effect operation button 24, the content of the next command is analyzed without executing the process.

In the command correspondence process (S2601), all the commands stored in the command storage area at that time are analyzed, and the processing corresponding to all the analyzed commands is executed. The reason for this will be explained. This is because the command determination process is performed at intervals of 20 milliseconds when the V interrupt process is executed, so that there is a high possibility that a plurality of commands are stored in the command storage area during the 20 milliseconds. In particular, when the content of the effect is set by the voice emission control device 90 and the effect is started, there is a high possibility that various commands for specifying the content of the effect are simultaneously stored in the command storage area. Therefore, by analyzing and executing these commands at once, it is possible to quickly grasp the mode of the effect such as the advance notice effect and the stop symbol set by the voice emission control device 90, and display the effect image according to the mode. The drawing of the image can be controlled so as to be displayed on the device 41.

In step S2602, the display setting process is executed. In the display setting process, the content of the image for one frame to be displayed next on the symbol display device 41 is specified based on the type of screen to be displayed on the symbol display device 41 set by the command correspondence process (S2601) or the like. .. Then, the process proceeds to step S2603.

In step S2603, task processing is executed. In the task process, the type of character (sprite, display object) constituting the image is determined based on the content of the image for the next frame to be displayed on the symbol display device 41 specified by the display setting process (S2602). In addition to specifying, various parameters necessary for drawing such as display coordinate position, enlargement ratio, rotation angle, etc. are determined for each character (sprite). Then, the process proceeds to step S2604.

In step S2604, the drawing process is executed. In the drawing process, the types of various characters constituting one frame and the parameters required for drawing each character, which are determined by the task process (S2603), are transmitted to the VDP 105. The VDP 105 executes an image drawing process based on this information, and together with a drive signal, displays an image drawn based on the information received at the time of the previous V interrupt process on the symbol display device 41. The image data is transmitted to the symbol display device 41. After that, the process proceeds to step S2605, other processing is executed, and then the V interrupt processing is terminated.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, it is said that the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times for the player. It can give a feeling of déjà vu. A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times and then wins the jackpot, the effect element is executed in the expectation that the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times. Every time it is done, I always have a high expectation and pay attention to the production elements. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied and the déjà vu notice is to be executed, the type and content of the effect element to be executed a plurality of times are intended. Can be set. It is also possible to intentionally set the number of executions of the effect element having the same content. Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability (frequency of occurrence) of the déjà vu notice when the jackpot is won or the reach occurs can be arbitrarily set.

The pachinko machine 10 may control the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times. For example, the pachinko machine 10 may increase the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times with the passage of time. Hereinafter, specific examples will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 38 is a time chart showing an example in which the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times is increased with the passage of time. In the example shown in FIG. 38, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect element A in the first game time P01, and also executes the effect element A in the next game time P02. The number of elements is one. Further, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect element B in addition to the effect element A in the game time P02, and also executes the effect element A and the effect element B in the next game time P03. The number of production elements of the content will be two. That is, the pachinko machine 10 increases the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times with the passage of time. In this way, the number of effect elements for which the player recognizes the déjà vu increases with the passage of time, so that the player's expectation can be increased with the passage of time.

In the example shown in FIG. 38, the control for increasing the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times has been described, but the control for decreasing the number may be performed. The pachinko machine 10 increases or decreases the player's expectation by increasing or decreasing the number of production elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times, and gives the player's expectation, such as giving an intonation to the player's expectation. Can make a difference.

B. Second embodiment:
Next, the second embodiment will be described. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is the processing content related to the déjà vu notice. In the following description, the déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be mainly described. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

FIG. 39 is a time chart showing an example of a déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment. FIGS. 39 (A) and 39 (B) show Examples 1 and 2, which are two examples of déjà vu notice in the present embodiment.

In Example 1, a game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 at a timing when the total number of reserved pieces CRN is 2, and the total number of reserved pieces CRN becomes 3, and the hold information related to the winning determines the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. It shows the case where it is satisfied. That is, the game time P03 shown as the third game time is the game time related to the reserved information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice.

In the pachinko machine 10, when the hold information related to the game time P03 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the pachinko machine 10 has a game time before the game time P03 related to the hold information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. The content of the game effect A executed in P01 is stored. That is, the pachinko machine 10 stores the content of the game effect A to be executed in the game time P01 to be executed after determining that the hold information of the game time P03 satisfies the occurrence of the déjà vu notice. Then, the game times P02, which is the game times after the game time P01 in which the content of the game effect A is stored, and is the game times before the game time P03 related to the hold information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. And in the game time P03, the content of the game effect A memorized in the game time P01 is reproduced.

In the first embodiment, as a déjà vu notice, the "directing element" having the same content is executed a plurality of times, but in the present embodiment, it is composed of a combination of the directing elements executed in the game time P01. "Game production" is executed multiple times as one unit. That is, exactly the same game effect as that of the game time P01 is reproduced as it is for a certain period in each game time of the game time P02 and the game time P03. By doing so, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu.

Further, in the game round P03, after the game effect A is executed, the suggestion effect, the battle effect, and the result effect (winning effect in this example) are executed as in the first embodiment. Then, after stopping the jackpot symbol in the game round P03, the jackpot effect is executed.

Specific processing will be described. When it is determined that the hold information related to the game time P03 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the voice emission control device 90 of the pachinko machine 10 executes the game effect A for the game effect A of the game time P01 to be executed thereafter. Stores various setting data for this purpose. The various setting data includes setting data for operating hardware that actually executes the effect such as various lamps 47, data for command setting to be transmitted to the display control device 100, and the like.

After the game time P01 is completed, the voice emission control device 90 actually executes the game effect (various types) based on the various setting data for executing the stored game effect A at the start of the game time P02. It controls the lamp 47, the speaker 46, etc.). Immediately before the start of the game time P02, the game effect B to be executed is determined based on the hold information related to the game time P02, but the voice emission control device 90 hardens the game effect B at the start of the game time P02. The game effect A is preferentially executed without being executed in a manner that appears in the behavior of the hardware. The processing based on the setting data of the game effect B is executed as an internal process within a range that does not appear in the behavior of the hardware (various lamps 47, speakers 46, etc.) that executes the game effect.

As shown in FIG. 39 (A), when the display duration of the game time P02 is longer than the time for executing the game effect A, the voice emission control device 90 performs the game in the game time P02. At the same time as the execution of the effect A is completed, the process based on the setting data of the game effect B, which was executed as an internal process within the range that does not appear as the behavior of the hardware, is switched to the process that appears as the behavior of the hardware. That is, in the game turn P02, the player recognizes that the game effect B is executed from the middle after the game effect A is executed. Other processes are the same as those in the first embodiment. In this way, the pachinko machine 10 executes the déjà vu notice shown in Example 1.

Next, Example 2 of the déjà vu notice in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 39 (B). In Example 2, as in Example 1, the game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 at the timing when the total number of reserved pieces CRN is 2, and the total number of reserved pieces CRN becomes 3, and the hold information related to the winning is already seen. It shows the case where the condition for generating the feeling notice is satisfied. That is, the game time P13 shown as the third game time is the game time related to the reserved information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice.

In Example 2, the voice emission control device 90 stores the content of the game effect C1 which is the game effect for a part of the game effect C0 executed in the game time P11. Then, the game times P12, which is the game times after the game times P11 in which the content of the game effect C1 is stored, and is the game times before the game times P13 related to the hold information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. And in the game times P13, the contents of the memorized game effect C1 are reproduced. Specifically, since the display duration of the game time P12 is shorter than the time required to execute the game effect C1, the voice emission control device 90 plays the game for a part of the stored game effect C1 in the game time P12. The game production C1a, which is a production, is reproduced. On the other hand, since the display duration of the game time P13 is longer than the time required to execute the game effect C1, the voice emission control device 90 reproduces all the contents of the game effect C1 memorized in the game time P13. Further, in the game round P13, after the game effect C1 is executed, the suggestion effect, the battle effect, and the result effect (winning effect in this example) are executed. Then, after stopping the jackpot symbol in the game round P03, the jackpot effect is executed.

As a specific process, when it is determined that the hold information related to the game time P13 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the voice emission control device 90 executes the game after satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. Various setting data for executing the game effect C1 which is the game effect for a part of the game effect C in the time P11 is stored. The various setting data includes setting data for operating hardware that actually executes the effect such as various lamps 47, data for command setting to be transmitted to the display control device 100, and the like. In the present embodiment, when the length (time) of the game effect to be stored is set in advance, the display duration of the game effect C0 is longer than the set length, so that a part of the game time C0 The game production C1 which is the game production of the period is memorized.

Further, since the display duration of the game time P12 is shorter than the time required to execute the stored game effect C1, the voice emission control device 90 is a part of the stored game effect C1 in the game time P12. Reproduce the game production C1a. Other processes are the same as those in the first embodiment. In this way, the pachinko machine 10 gives the déjà vu notice shown in Example 2.

In the above description, the voice emission control device 90 stores the setting data transmitted to the display control device 100 to reproduce the game effect executed in the game times P01 in the game times after the game time P01. However, the display control device 100 stores the moving image data reproduced by the symbol display device 41 in the game times P01 as it is in the buffer, and in the game times after the game time P01, the stored moving image data is displayed and controlled again. The device 100 may transmit to the symbol display device 41 and reproduce the data.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the content of the executed game effect is memorized and reproduced. Therefore, at least for a part of the period, the game effect having exactly the same content is played. One will experience. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu.

Further, as in the first embodiment, the player who recognizes the déjà vu may have a special meaning for the déjà vu, for example, a privilege may be given. You will have a sense of expectation. When the player experiences that the privilege is given after the game effect of the same content is executed multiple times, the game effect is executed in the expectation that the game effect of the same content is executed multiple times. Every time, he always pays attention to the game production with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the game effect having the same content is executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the game effect to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

As shown in FIGS. 39 (A) and 39 (B), in the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 has the same suggestion effect that suggests to the player that the game effect having the same content has been reproduced. Execute after the game production of the contents of is reproduced. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the game production of the same content has been reproduced, and to convince the player that the reproduction of the game production of the same content has a special meaning. be able to.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment may not select the operation acceptance effect including the content suggesting the acceptance of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player as the target of the game effect to be memorized and reproduced. When the operation acceptance effect is reproduced as a game effect, the operation acceptance effect may be executed with different contents depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. As a result, it may not be possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu. Since the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment does not select the operation acceptance effect as the game effect to be memorized and reproduced, it is possible to suppress that different contents are executed depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. It is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu.

C. Third Embodiment:
Next, the third embodiment will be described. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is the processing content related to the déjà vu notice. In the following description, the déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be mainly described. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

FIG. 40 is a time chart showing an example of a déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment. FIGS. 40 (A) and 40 (B) show Examples 1 and 2, which are two examples of déjà vu notice in the present embodiment. In Example 1, a game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 at a timing when the total number of reserved pieces CRN is 3, and the total number of reserved pieces CRN becomes 4, and the hold information related to the winning determines the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. It shows the case where it is satisfied. That is, the game time P04 shown as the fourth game time is the game time related to the reserved information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice.

In the pachinko machine 10 in Example 1, when the hold information related to the game time P04 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the pachinko machine 10 is continuous before the game time P04 related to the hold information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. The total time of the shortest display durations that can be determined as the display durations T1, T2, T3, and T4 of the plurality of game times P01, game times P02, game times P03, and game times P04 is calculated. The display duration of each game time P01 to P04 actually determined is set to Tre (Tre = T1 + T2 + T3 + T4), and the shortest display duration that can be determined as the display duration of each game time P01 to P04. Assuming that the total time is Tsum, the relationship of Tsum ≤ Tre is established.

Then, the pachinko machine 10 provides a production element having the same content that can be executed a plurality of times within the calculated total time Tsum by the end of the game round P04 related to the hold information that satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. Run multiple times. In Example 1 shown in FIG. 40, the pachinko machine 10 is an effect element having the same content that can be executed a plurality of times within a time Tsum equal to or less than the time Tre, which is the display duration of each of the game times P01 to P04 actually determined. A, the effect element B, and the effect element C are executed. Further, in the game round P04, after the game effect A is executed, the suggestion effect, the battle effect, and the result effect (winning effect in this example) are executed.

The pachinko machine 10 of Example 1 executes the effect element A four times, the effect element B three times, and the effect element C twice within the time Tsum. More specifically, the effect elements to be executed a plurality of times are, first, only the effect element A, then the effect element A and the effect element B, and then the effect element A, the effect element B, and the effect element C. The number of effect elements with the same content to be executed multiple times is increased with the passage of time.

Further, as shown in the figure, in the pachinko machine 10 of Example 1, the effect element A to be executed in the second, third, and fourth times is executed across the game times. That is, the timing at which the variation display of the symbol is stopped is different from the timing at which one effect element A ends. Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to FIG. 41.

FIG. 41 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a display surface 41a when the déjà vu notice is executed by the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, when the déjà vu notice is executed, the display surface 41a is divided into a display area 41aS and a display area 41aL. Then, in the display area 41aS, the variable display and the stop display of the symbol are executed. The variable display and the stop display of the symbol in the display area 41aS are executed in the same cycle as the display duration of each of the game times P01 to P04.

On the other hand, in the display area 41aL, the display corresponding to the effect element A, the effect element B, and the effect element C is displayed. As the effect element A, for example, an effect element based on an image using the entire display area 41aL is displayed. More specifically, a moving image is displayed as a background image of the display area 41aL, and a moving image composed of a combination of the background image and an object image displayed in front of the background image is displayed. As the effect element B and the effect element C, for example, a cut-in notice effect for displaying a predetermined image in front of the background image, an object notice effect for displaying a predetermined object image in front of the background image, and a background image are usually used. Background change notice effect that changes to a different mode from time, character notice effect that causes a predetermined character to perform a predetermined operation, lamp light emission effect that causes various lamps to emit light in a predetermined pattern, and a symbol sequence with a predetermined scroll pattern. Examples include a variable symbol sequence variation effect, and a reach effect in which the remaining one symbol sequence is varied while two identical symbols are stopped on at least one effective line. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot effect executed after the end of the game round P04 is executed by displaying a moving image using the entire display surface 41a.

As described with reference to FIG. 41, for example, the display surface 41a is divided into a display area 41aS and a display area 41aL, and the variation display and stop display of the symbol in the display area 41aS and the effect element in the display area 41aL. By executing the display in different cycles, the cycle of the variable display and the stop display of the symbol (that is, the cycle synchronized with the actual display duration) and the effect element A, the effect element B, and the effect element C are executed. It is possible to have a different mode from the cycle.

Next, Example 2 of the déjà vu notice in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 40 (B). In Example 2, as in Example 1, the game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 at the timing when the total number of reserved pieces CRN is 3, and the total number of reserved pieces CRN becomes 4, and the hold information related to the winning is already seen. It shows the case where the condition for generating the feeling notice is satisfied. That is, the game time P14 shown as the fourth game time is the game time related to the reserved information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice.

In Example 2, the time required for the effect element A, which is the target to be executed a plurality of times, is longer than the display duration of the game times P11. That is, the pachinko machine 10 executes one effect element A across the game times. The pachinko machine 10 of Example 2 executes the effect element A as an effect element that can be executed three times in the total time Tsum of the shortest display duration that can be determined as the display duration of the four game times P11 to P14. .. As shown in Example 2, the number of game times required to execute the effect element having the same content multiple times (in Example 2, the game times are 4 times) and the number of times the effect element having the same content is executed (Example 2). Then, the effect element A may be different from (3 times). The type of effect element to be executed a plurality of times as the same content and the number of times the effect element is executed may be determined according to the calculated total time Tsum value. In this case, the type of the effect element to be executed a plurality of times as the same content and the number of executions thereof may be determined by using the table data in which the total time Tsum is associated with the type of the effect element and the number of executions.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the same content that can be executed a plurality of times within the total time (Tsum) of the shortest display duration that can be determined as the display duration of each game. Since the effect element of is executed, one effect element to be executed multiple times can be completed within the display duration (T1, T2, T3, T4), which is the time actually required for one game. Not limited. That is, it is possible to execute the effect element having the same content a plurality of times across a plurality of consecutive game times before the game time related to the hold information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. As shown in Example 2, it is also possible to execute one time of the effect element A, which is the target to be executed a plurality of times, across the game times. Therefore, it is possible to select the effect element to be executed a plurality of times without considering the relationship between the execution time of one effect element and the display duration of one game time.

Furthermore, since the effect element having the same content that can be executed multiple times is executed multiple times within the total time (Tsum) of the shortest display duration that can be determined, the effect element having the same content can be executed multiple times. The required time is equal to or less than the total display duration (Tre) of each actual game round. Therefore, when the production element having the same content is executed multiple times across a plurality of consecutive game times before the game time related to the hold information that satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the time will be insufficient. It is possible to avoid it and surely execute the effect element having the same content multiple times.

Further, as in the first embodiment, since the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times (at least twice), it is already seen that the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times for the player. It can give a feeling (déjà vu). A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. When the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is executed in the expectation that the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times. Every time, I always have a high expectation and pay attention to the production elements. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

As shown in FIGS. 40A and 40B, in the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 has the same suggestion effect that suggests to the player that the effect elements having the same contents have been reproduced. It is executed after the effect element of the contents of is executed multiple times. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times, and it is a game that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times has a special meaning. Can be convinced.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment may not select the operation acceptance effect element including the content suggesting the acceptance of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times. When the operation acceptance effect element is executed a plurality of times, the operation acceptance effect element may be executed with different contents depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. As a result, it may not be possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu. Since the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment does not select the operation acceptance effect element as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times, it is possible to suppress the execution of the effect element having different contents depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. It is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 is composed of a display of a moving image as a background image of the display area 41aL and a combination of a background image and an object image displayed in front of the background image as an effect element to be executed a plurality of times with the same content. Video display, cut-in notice effect, notice effect by displaying an object image such as a predetermined character in front of the background image, background change notice effect that changes the background image to a different mode from normal, reach effect, In addition, the player has already seen the effect using various effect elements such as the effect of physically moving characters provided on the front door frame 14 and the game board 30, and the effect of lighting and blinking by various lamps 47. Can give a feeling. Therefore, it is possible to direct the player's attention to various production elements as to whether or not the production elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times.

The pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment controls the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times. In Example 1 of the present embodiment, first, the effect element A is executed, the number of effect elements having the same content is one, and then the game effect B is executed, and the number of effect elements having the same content is two. Then, the effect element C is executed, and the number of effect elements having the same content becomes three. In the present embodiment, control is performed to increase the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times, but control may be performed to decrease the number. The pachinko machine 10 increases or decreases the player's expectation by increasing or decreasing the number of production elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times, and gives the player's expectation, such as giving an intonation to the player's expectation. Can make a difference.

Further, in Example 1 of the present embodiment, first, only the effect element A, then the effect element A and the effect element B, and then the effect element A, the effect element B, and the effect element C, and so on. The same content to be executed multiple times in the period from the determination that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied to the end of the game times (game times P04) related to the hold information satisfying the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice. The number of production elements is increasing over time. Therefore, since the number of effect elements for which the player recognizes the déjà vu increases with the passage of time, the expectation of the player can be increased with the passage of time.

D. Fourth Embodiment:
Next, the fourth embodiment will be described. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is the processing content related to the déjà vu notice. In the following description, the déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be mainly described. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted. Hereinafter, specific processing in this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 42 is a time chart showing an example of a déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment. In the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice based on the hold information is satisfied before the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, it is determined whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice based on the hold information is satisfied when the hold information is the target of the jackpot lottery. That is, it is determined whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice based on the hold information is satisfied, and the jackpot lottery based on the hold information is performed immediately before the start of the game round P01 related to the hold information.

Further, in the first embodiment, as an embodiment of the déjà vu notice, the effect elements having the same contents are executed a plurality of times over a plurality of game times. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, as an aspect of déjà vu notice, an effect element A, an effect element B, and an effect element C that can be executed a plurality of times within the display duration of the game times are provided. , It is executed a plurality of times in one game round P01 related to the hold information determined to satisfy the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. Specifically, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect element A four times, the effect element B three times, and the effect element C twice in the game times P01. More specifically, the effect elements to be executed a plurality of times are, first, only the effect element A, then the effect element A and the effect element B, and then the effect element A, the effect element B, and the effect element C. The number of effect elements with the same content to be executed multiple times is increased with the passage of time.

Similar to the first embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment executes the effect element A a plurality of times to suggest to the player that the effect element having the same content has been executed a plurality of times. Will be executed later. Further, the pachinko machine 10 executes a battle effect and a result effect (victory effect) after executing the suggestion effect. Then, after the end of the game round P01, the jackpot effect is executed.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, in at least one game time, the effect elements that can be executed a plurality of times within the display duration of the game time are performed a plurality of times with the same content. Since it is executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu in one game. Further, as in the first embodiment, since the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times, the player is given a déjà vu that the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times. Can be given. A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, in the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 executes a suggestion effect suggesting to the player that the effect element having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, after executing the effect element having the same content a plurality of times. To do. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times, and it is a game that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times has a special meaning. Can be convinced.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment may not select the operation acceptance effect element including the content suggesting the acceptance of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times. When the operation acceptance effect element is executed a plurality of times, the operation acceptance effect element may be executed with different contents depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. As a result, it may not be possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu. Since the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment does not select the operation acceptance effect element as the effect element to be executed a plurality of times, it is possible to suppress the execution of the effect element having different contents depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. It is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu.

The pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment controls the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times. In the present embodiment, first, the effect element A is executed, the number of effect elements with the same content is one, then the game effect B is executed, and the number of effect elements with the same content is two. By executing the effect element C, the number of effect elements having the same content becomes three. In the present embodiment, control is performed to increase the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times, but control may be performed to decrease the number. The pachinko machine 10 increases or decreases the player's expectation by increasing or decreasing the number of production elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times, and gives the player's expectation, such as giving an intonation to the player's expectation. Can make a difference.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same effect element A is executed first, then the effect element A and the effect element B, and then the effect element A, the effect element B, and the effect element C, and so on. The number of production elements of the content is increased with the passage of time. Therefore, since the number of effect elements for which the player recognizes the déjà vu increases with the passage of time, the expectation of the player can be increased with the passage of time.

E. Fifth embodiment:
Next, the sixth embodiment will be described. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is the processing content related to the déjà vu notice. In the following description, the déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be mainly described. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

In the above embodiment, the display duration of each game is not controlled based on the determination of whether or not to execute the déjà vu notice. In the present embodiment, when the déjà vu notice is executed, at least two of the game times before the game times related to the hold information for which the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied are Control is performed so as to secure a display duration of a predetermined length. Then, in each game in which the display duration of the predetermined length is secured, the effect elements having the same contents that can be executed within the display duration of the predetermined length are executed. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

FIG. 43 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an outline of processing executed by the main control device 60 and the voice emission control device 90 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the main control device 60 executes the processing content executed by the voice emission control device 90 as the hold command corresponding processing in the first embodiment. That is, the main control device 60 executes the déjà vu notice generation lottery process. Then, when the lottery for generating the déjà vu notice is won, for example, when the déjà vu notice is executed using three game times, the display duration of the three game times is the déjà vu. Reserve a predetermined length for the execution of the notice. Specifically, when the main control device 60 determines the display duration of each of the three game times for executing the déjà vu notice, the value of the variable type counter CS related to each of the three game times and the value of the variable type counter CS. In the collation with the display duration table stored in the display duration table storage area 63d of the ROM 63, the déjà vu notice execution stored in advance in the display duration table storage area 63d as the display duration table used for collation. Use the display duration table for.

The main control device 60 controls and determines the display duration of the three game times to the length for executing the déjà vu notice, and then emits voice by using the information of the display duration of each determined game time as a command. It is transmitted to the control device 90. The voice emission control device 90 determines an effect element having the same content that can be executed within the display duration of each game time reserved for execution of the déjà vu notice in the main control device 60. By doing so, it is possible to control the length of the display duration of the game times for executing the déjà vu notice.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the display duration of a predetermined length is secured for executing the déjà vu notice, and the display duration of a predetermined length is secured. Since the effect elements with the same content that can be executed in each game time are executed, it is possible to avoid a shortage of time required to execute the same effect element in each game time, and surely the same content in each game time. It is possible to execute the production element of.

In addition, as the effect elements used for the visual feeling notice, a cut-in notice effect for displaying a predetermined image in front of the background image, an object notice effect for displaying a predetermined object image in front of the background image, and a background image are used. Background change notice effect that changes to a different mode from normal time, character notice effect that causes a predetermined character to perform a predetermined operation, lamp light emission effect that causes various lamps to emit light in a predetermined pattern, symbol sequence with a predetermined scroll pattern A symbol row variation effect that fluctuates, a reach effect that fluctuates the remaining one symbol row while two identical symbols are stopped on at least one effective line, and a symbol stop that stops a predetermined combination of symbols. It is possible to adopt a production or the like. Since it is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu by using various production elements, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the same content is executed multiple times for various production elements. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, a suggestion effect suggesting to the player that the effect element having the same content has been executed a plurality of times as a déjà vu notice is executed after the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times. To do. It is possible to make the player recognize that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times, and to inform the player that the effect element having the same content has been executed multiple times has a special meaning. You can be convinced.

Further, as in the first embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 may control the number of effect elements having the same content to be executed a plurality of times. By increasing or decreasing the number of production elements with the same content that are executed multiple times, it is possible to change the player's expectation, such as increasing or decreasing the player's expectation or giving inflection to the player's expectation. it can.

Further, in the period from the determination that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied to the end of the game round related to the reserved information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the production of the same content to be executed a plurality of times The number of elements may be increased over time. Since the number of effect elements for which the player recognizes the déjà vu increases with the passage of time, the expectation of the player can be increased with the passage of time.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display duration of each game time for executing the déjà vu notice is first determined, and then the effect element to be executed as the déjà vu notice is executed based on the determined display duration. Although it is decided, other processing forms can be adopted without being limited to such a processing form.

For example, it is possible to first determine the effect element to be executed as the déjà vu notice, and then secure the display duration of the length that can execute the effect element to be executed as the déjà vu notice in each game. .. As a specific process, for example, when the main control device 60 performs a déjà vu notice generation lottery process and decides to execute the déjà vu notice, the production of the same content to be executed first as the déjà vu notice is produced. Determine the element. After that, the main control device 60 secures a display duration of a length capable of executing the effect element having the same content as a déjà vu notice in each game. Then, the main control device 60 transmits to the voice emission control device 90 as a command the display duration of each game time for executing the déjà vu notice and the content of the effect element to be executed as the déjà vu notice.

By adopting such a processing form, it is possible to secure a display duration of a length that allows the same effect element to be executed in each game, so that the time required to execute the same effect element can be secured. However, it is possible to avoid a shortage in each game time, and to surely execute the production element having the same content in each game time.

F. Sixth Embodiment:
Next, the sixth embodiment will be described. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment has a function of acquiring time information and processing contents related to déjà vu notice. In the following description, the déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be mainly described. The description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

The pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment has a function of acquiring time information, and also has a function of executing a time-linked effect element, which is an effect element that is continuously executed with the passage of time based on the acquired time information. .. In the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 includes an RTC module (RTC: Real Time Clock) and acquires time information from the RTC module. The acquisition of the time information is not limited to the acquisition from the RTC module, and other methods that are technically possible for the acquisition of the time information, such as acquisition from the outside of the pachinko machine 10, may be adopted.

Further, in this description, among the effect elements executed by the pachinko machine 10, the effect elements that are continuously executed with the passage of time based on the time information are referred to as "time-linked effect elements" and are based on the time information. An effect element that is executed without a time is called a "non-time-linked effect element".

FIG. 44 is a time chart showing an example of a déjà vu notice executed by the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment. Further, FIG. 44 also shows a time-linked effect element executed by another pachinko machine of the same model as the pachinko machine 10 installed in the same game hall as the pachinko machine 10 for comparison.

As shown in the figure, the pachinko machine 10 and other pachinko machines start executing the time-linked effect element at time T0. Then, the pachinko machine 10 and other pachinko machines continuously execute the time-linked effect element with the passage of time. In this description, the other pachinko machine executes a series of preset time-linked effect elements. For convenience of explanation, in order to indicate the time position of a series of time-linked effect elements, the series of time-linked effect elements executed by other pachinko machines has a time position as an index indicating the time position of the time-linked effect element. TP1 to TP20 are shown. It should be noted that each temporal position shown in the figure is described in a format in which the reference numeral of "TP" is omitted.

As shown in the figure, in the pachinko machine 10, the game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 33 at the timing when the total number of reserved numbers CRN is 3, and the total number of reserved numbers CRN becomes 4, and the hold information related to the winning is already visible. It shows the case where the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied and the déjà vu notice is executed. That is, the game time P04 shown as the fourth game time is the game time related to the reserved information satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice.

The pachinko machine 10 stores the time position TP of the time-linked effect element executed at the timing when the game round P01 is started after determining that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied as a specific time position. .. In the example shown in FIG. 44, the pachinko machine 10 stores the time position TP3 of the time-linked effect element as a specific time position. Then, the pachinko machine 10 is a game time in which execution is started after it is determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, and the game time P04 or earlier related to the hold information which is determined to satisfy the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. With the timing of starting each of the game times P01, the game time P02, the game time P03, and the game time P04, which are the game times of the above, the time at which the time-linked effect element is stored in advance at a specific time position. The target position TP3 is used as the starting position.

Further, as shown in the figure, when it is determined that the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, and the non-time interlocking effect element is executed together with the time interlocking effect element, the pachinko machine 10 is time interlocked. The effect element and the non-time interlocking effect element are executed multiple times. Then, the pachinko machine 10 executes a suggestion effect suggesting to the player that the same effect element has been executed a plurality of times after executing the effect element (time-linked effect element and non-time-linked effect element) a plurality of times. To do. Then, after executing the suggestion effect, the battle effect and the result effect (victory effect) are executed.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 can control the number of non-time interlocking effect elements to be executed a plurality of times. In the present embodiment, the non-time interlocking effect element to be executed a plurality of times is only the non-time interlocking effect element A in the game time P01, the non-time interlocking effect element A and the non-time interlocking effect element B in the game time P02, and the game time P03. Then, the non-time interlocking effect element A, the non-time interlocking effect element B, the non-time interlocking effect element C, the non-time interlocking effect element A, the non-time interlocking effect element B, and the non-time interlocking effect element C in the game time P04, and so on. The number of non-time-linked effect elements having the same content to be executed multiple times is increased with the passage of time.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the time-linked effect elements executed during at least a part of the period are executed a plurality of times, so that the player can perform an effect with a new interest. Can be provided. In addition, since the time-linked effect element executed during at least a part of the period is executed a plurality of times, the player has a sense of déjà vu that the time-linked effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times. Can be given. A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given.

Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the time-linked effect element is executed a plurality of times, the time-linked effect element is executed in the expectation that the time-linked effect element is executed a plurality of times. Every time, he always has a high expectation and pays attention to the time-linked production element. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the time-linked effect element is executed a plurality of times, and to preferably increase the player's attention to the time-linked effect element executed based on the time information. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, when a plurality of pachinko machines having the same characteristics as the pachinko machine 10 are installed in the game hall like the other pachinko machines shown in FIG. 44, the pachinko machines satisfying the condition for generating the déjà vu notice. Even if the same time-linked effect is started from the same time T0 between the machine 10 and the pachinko machine that does not satisfy the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, there is a time difference in the time-linked effect element to be executed ( Misalignment) occurs. As a result, in addition to the player of the pachinko machine 10, the players of the surrounding pachinko machines also recognize that the déjà vu notice has occurred in the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of superiority to the player who is playing the game with the pachinko machine 10 that satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice.

Further, since the pachinko machine 10 executes the time-linked effect element with the time position TP3, which is a specific time position, as the start position in each game time of the game times P01 to the game times P04, the pachinko machine 10 is directed to the player. , It is possible to recognize a strong déjà vu for the portion after the time position TP3, which is a specific time position of the time-linked effect element. Further, the pachinko machine 10 synchronizes the start timing of the time-linked effect element to be executed a plurality of times with the start timing of each game round (game round P01 to game round P04) to provide a stronger déjà vu. Can be given to a person.

Further, if the start position of the time-linked effect element that starts at the start timing of each game is set in advance as the processing of the déjà vu notice, even once among the time-linked effect elements. There is a possibility that the déjà vu notice using the time-linked effect element may be executed from a time position that has not been executed. For example, if it is set to execute the time-linked effect element from a specific time position "TP10" each time, triggered by the start timing of each game time from the game time P01 to the game time P04, the game time P01 The time-linked effect element that was executed as a continuous series of flows (temporal positions TP1 to TP2) until the first game time P01 of the game times P04 is started is the start of the first game time P01. The time-linked effect element is started and executed from a specific temporal position TP10 that has never been executed, as well as being suddenly interrupted at the timing of. In addition, the temporal positions TP3 to TP9 will not be executed.

On the other hand, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is executed at the timing when the game time P01, which is started after the time when the process of determining that the game time P04 satisfies the condition for generating the visual sensation notice is executed, is started. The time position TP3 of the time-linked effect element is memorized as a specific time position, and the memorized specific time position TP3 is executed a plurality of times after the second time (game times P02 to game times P04). Since it is the start position of the time-linked effect element, it is executed once as a continuous series of flow of the time-linked effect element (temporal positions TP1 to TP5), and the second and subsequent times of the time-linked effect element to be executed multiple times. The temporal position TP3 can be set as the start position of. Therefore, the time-linked effect element that has been executed as a continuous series of flows (temporal positions TP1 to TP2) until the first game times 01 of the game times P01 to the game times P04 is started is the first. It is possible to avoid a sudden interruption at the start timing of the game round P01, and to prevent the time-linked effect element from being started / executed from a specific temporal position TP10 that has never been executed. In addition, all parts of the time-linked effect element (temporal positions TP1 to TP20) will be executed, allowing the player to experience all parts of the time-linked effect element.

Further, since the pachinko machine 10 executes the non-time-linked effect element a plurality of times in addition to the time-linked effect element, it is possible to give the player a stronger sense of déjà vu. Further, the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment can control the number of non-time interlocking effect elements to be executed a plurality of times. Therefore, by increasing or decreasing the number of non-time-linked effect elements to be executed multiple times, the player's expectation can be increased or decreased, or the player's expectation can be changed by inflection. Can be done. In the pachinko machine 10, since the number of non-time-linked effect elements increases with the passage of time, the player's expectation can be increased with the passage of time.

The pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment may not select the operation acceptance effect element including the content suggesting the acceptance of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player as the non-time interlocking effect element to be executed a plurality of times. When the operation acceptance effect element is executed a plurality of times, the operation acceptance effect element may be executed with different contents depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. As a result, it may not be possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu. Since the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment does not select the operation acceptance effect element as the non-time interlocking effect element to be executed a plurality of times, it is possible to prevent the effect element having different contents from being executed depending on the mode of the input operation by the player. can do. Further, since the pachinko machine 10 executes the suggestion effect, it is possible to make the player recognize that the effect elements (time-linked effect element, non-time-linked effect element) having the same content have been executed a plurality of times. At the same time, it is possible to convince the player that the fact that the effect elements having the same content are executed multiple times has a special meaning.

G. Seventh Embodiment:
The pachinko machine 10 of the first to sixth embodiments has a configuration in which an operation acceptance effect element is not selected as an effect element for déjà vu notice, but the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a déjà vu notice. As an effect element for the operation, a button effect, which is one of the operation acceptance effect elements, may be selected. In the following, a case where the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times will be described.

<Example 1 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XA as the effect element for déjà vu notice and executes the button effect XA twice. FIG. 46 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect modes XA1 and XA2 and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XA.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XA, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XA1 including the content suggesting the player to press the effect operation button 24 (S2701). In the example shown in FIG. 46, the effect mode XA1 is an effect mode in which an image of the treasure box is displayed and characters and an image prompting the pressing of the effect operation button 24 are displayed. However, the effect mode XA1 may be another mode.

If the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time after executing the effect mode XA1 (S2702: YES), the effect mode XA1 and the effect mode XA1 are triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Executes a different production mode XA2 (S2703). In the example shown in FIG. 46, the effect mode XA2 is an effect mode in which a female character appears from the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XA2 may be another mode. On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within a predetermined time (S2702: NO), the effect mode XA2 is not executed while the effect mode XA1 is being executed.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XA, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XA1 (S2704 or S2707) as in the case of the first button effect XA. Then, when the effect mode XA2 was executed when the first button effect XA was executed, the effect operation button 24 was pressed or not after the effect mode XA1 was executed (S2704). In any case (S2705), the effect mode XA2 is executed (S2706). Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S2705: YES), the effect mode XA2 is executed with the effect button 24 being pressed (S2705: YES). S2706). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S2705: NO), the effect mode XA2 is executed with the elapse of the predetermined time (S2706).

On the other hand, when the effect mode XA2 was not executed when the first button effect was executed, the effect operation button 24 was pressed or not after the effect mode XA1 was executed (S2707). In any case (S2708), the effect mode XA2 is not executed while the effect mode XA1 is being executed.

When the second button effect XA is completed, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment suggests to the player that the button effect XA having the same content has been executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example). The effect F is executed (S2709). In the example shown in FIG. 46, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect.

When the button effect XA is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XA is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XA. Good.

As described above, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the operation mode of the input operation by the player (for example, the presence / absence of pressing the effect operation button 24, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May be done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect XA is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, when the effect mode XA2 is executed in the first button effect XA, the player inputs the effect. Regardless of the operation mode of the operation, if the effect mode XA2 is executed in the second and subsequent button effect XA, while the effect mode X-like A2 is not executed in the first button effect XA, the player inputs. Regardless of the operation mode of the operation, the effect mode XA2 is not executed in the second and subsequent button effect XA. Therefore, even when the button effect XA is executed a plurality of times, the contents of the button effect XA executed the first time and the second and subsequent times can be the same. Then, as in the above embodiment, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu that the button effect XA having the same content has been executed a plurality of times.

A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect F is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the button effect XA having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the same. It is possible to convince the player that the button effect XA of the content is executed a plurality of times has a special meaning. However, it is not essential to execute the suggestion effect F, and the pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to execute the suggestion effect F.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player presses the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XA2 is triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Since it is executed, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XA, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game. Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within the predetermined time, the effect mode XA2 is executed when the predetermined time has elapsed. can do. Further, even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XA2 is executed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness and the interest of the game can be improved. Can be done. However, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured to execute the effect mode XA2 at a predetermined timing without pressing the effect operation button 24 or the elapse of a predetermined time.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XA is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XA is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XA, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XA a plurality of times.

The pachinko machine 10 may be provided with a changing means for changing the mode of the effect operation button 24 to a mode when the effect is pressed (that is, a mode recessed by pressing). Then, the changing means had the effect operation button 24 pressed when the effect operation button 24 was not pressed (S2705: NO) and when the effect mode XA2 was executed (S2706). It is advisable to change the mode in the case. If such a changing means is provided, the mode of the effect operation button 24 is changed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness, and the effect mode XA2 can be used even though the effect operation button 24 is not pressed. It can be convincing to be done. The changing means can be realized, for example, by providing an actuator such as a solenoid or a motor inside the effect operation button 24.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XA is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XA may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XA will be described.

FIG. 47 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XA is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In step S2801, it is determined whether or not the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94. For the first executed flag, after the déjà vu notice flag is stored, that is, after the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the déjà vu notice notice effect (button effect XA) has already been executed once. It is a flag for specifying whether or not it has been completed in the sound light side MPU 92.

In step S2801, when it is determined that the first executed flag is not stored (S2801: NO), that is, when the button effect XA is not executed even once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. , Step S2802, the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means are made to execute the above-described effect mode XA1. The effect mode XA1 includes a content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S2803.

In step S2803, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S2803 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S2803: YES), the process proceeds to step S2804, and the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means are described above. The production mode XA2 is executed. After executing step S2804, the process proceeds to step S2805, and the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94. The button pressing flag is a flag for specifying in the sound light side MPU 92 that the effect operation button 24 was pressed when the first button effect XA was executed. After executing step S2805, the process proceeds to step S2807.

If it is determined in step S2803 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S2803: NO), the process proceeds to step S2806 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S2806 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S2806: NO), the process returns to step S2803, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S2806 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S2806: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the step S2804 and step S2805 are not executed. Proceed to S2807.

In step S2807, after the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94, the first button effect XA is ended.

In step S2801, when it is determined that the first executed flag is stored (S2801: YES), that is, when the button effect XA has already been executed at least once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Proceeds to step S2808, and causes the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means to execute the effect mode XA1. Then, the process proceeds to step S2809.

In step S2809, it is determined whether or not the button press flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94. In step S2809, when it is determined that the button pressing flag is not stored (S2809: NO), that is, when the effect operation button 24 is not pressed when the first button effect XA is executed, the effect operation button 24 is not pressed. The process proceeds to step S2810, and the process waits until the predetermined time elapses, after which the second and subsequent button effect XA ends without executing the effect mode XA2 (step S2812).

In step S2809, when it is determined that the button pressing flag is stored (S2809: YES), that is, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed when the first button effect XA is executed. , Step S2811, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed in the button effect XA being executed this time.

If it is determined in step S2811 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S2811: YES), the process proceeds to step S2812, and the effect mode XA2 is applied to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. Is executed, and then the second and subsequent button effect XA is finished.

If it is determined in step S2811 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S2811: NO), the process proceeds to step S2813 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S2813 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S2813: NO), the process returns to step S2811 to determine whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S2813 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S2813: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S2812 to display the symbol as the effect execution means. After the device 41, the speaker 46, and the various lamps 47 are made to execute the effect mode XA2, the second and subsequent button effect XA are finished.

According to the above processing, the button effect XA can be executed a plurality of times with the same content regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XA process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 2 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XB as the effect element for déjà vu notice and executes the button effect XB twice. FIG. 49 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect modes XB1, XB2, XB3 and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XB.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XB, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XB1 including the content suggesting the player to press the effect operation button 24 (S2901). In the example shown in FIG. 49, the effect mode XB1 is an effect mode in which an image of the treasure box is displayed and characters and an image prompting the pressing of the effect operation button 24 are displayed. However, the effect mode XB1 may be another mode.

If the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time after executing the effect mode XB1 (S2902: YES), the effect mode XB1 and the effect mode XB1 are triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Executes a different production mode XB2 (S2903). In the example shown in FIG. 49, the effect mode XB2 is an effect mode in which a female character appears from the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XB2 may be another mode. On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S2902: NO), the effect mode XB3, which is different from the effect mode XB1 and the effect mode XB2, is executed (S2907). .. In the example shown in FIG. 49, the effect mode XB3 is an effect mode in which the fish character carries away the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XB3 may be another mode.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XB, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XB1 (S2904 or S2908) as in the case of the first button effect XB. Then, when the effect mode XB2 is executed when the first button effect XB is executed, the effect operation button 24 may or may not be pressed after the effect mode XB1 is executed (S2904). In any case (S2905), the effect mode XB2 is executed (S2906). Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S2905: YES), the effect mode XB2 is executed with the effect button 24 being pressed (S2905: YES). S2906). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S2905: NO), the effect mode XB2 is executed when the predetermined time has elapsed (S2906).

On the other hand, when the effect mode XB3 was executed when the first button effect XB was executed, the effect operation button 24 was pressed or not after the effect mode XB1 was executed (S2908). In any case (S2909), the effect mode XB3 is executed (S2910). Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S2909: YES), the effect mode XB3 is executed with the effect button 24 being pressed (S2909: YES). S2910). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S2909: NO), the effect mode XB3 is executed when the predetermined time has elapsed (S2910).

When the second button effect XB is completed, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment suggests to the player that the button effect XB having the same content has been executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example). The effect F is executed (S2911). In the example shown in FIG. 49, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect.

When the button effect XB is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XB is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XB. Good.

As described above, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the operation mode of the input operation by the player (for example, the presence / absence of pressing the effect operation button 24, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May be done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect XB is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, when the effect mode XB2 is executed in the first button effect XB, the player inputs the effect. Regardless of the operation mode of the operation, when the effect mode XB2 is executed in the second and subsequent button effect XBs, while the effect mode XB3 is executed in the first button effect XB, the operation mode of the input operation by the player Regardless of this, the effect mode XB3 is executed in the second and subsequent button effect XBs. Therefore, even when the button effect XB is executed a plurality of times, the contents of the button effect XB to be executed the first time and the second and subsequent times can be the same. Then, as in the above embodiment, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu that the button effect XB having the same content has been executed a plurality of times.

A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect F is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the button effect XB having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the same. It is possible to convince the player that the button effect XB of the content is executed a plurality of times has a special meaning. However, it is not essential to execute the suggestion effect F, and the pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to execute the suggestion effect F.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player presses the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XB2 or the effect mode XB2 is triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Since the effect mode XB3 is executed, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XB, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game. Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within the predetermined time, the effect mode XB2 or the effect is triggered by the elapse of the predetermined time. Aspect XB3 can be performed. Further, even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XB2 or the effect mode XB3 is executed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness, and the game is enjoyed. It can be improved. However, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured to execute the effect mode XB2 or the effect mode XB3 at a predetermined timing without pressing the effect operation button 24 or the elapse of a predetermined time.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XB is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XB is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XB, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XB a plurality of times.

The pachinko machine 10 may be provided with a changing means for changing the mode of the effect operation button 24 to a mode when the effect is pressed (that is, a mode recessed by pressing). Then, the changing means had the effect operation button 24 pressed when the effect operation button 24 was not pressed (S2905: NO) and when the effect mode XB2 was executed (S2906). It is advisable to change the mode in the case. If such a changing means is provided, the mode of the effect operation button 24 is changed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness, and the effect mode XB2 can be changed even though the effect operation button 24 is not pressed. It can be convincing to be done. The changing means can be realized, for example, by providing an actuator such as a solenoid or a motor inside the effect operation button 24.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XB is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XB may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XB will be described.

FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XB is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In step S3001, it is determined whether or not the first executed flag is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94. In step S3001, when it is determined that the first executed flag is not stored (S3001: NO), that is, when the button effect XB is not executed even once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. , Step S3002, the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means are made to execute the above-described effect mode XB1. The effect mode XB1 includes a content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S3003.

In step S3003, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3003 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3003: YES), the process proceeds to step S3004, and the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means are described above. The production mode XB2 is executed. After that, the process proceeds to step S3005, and the button press flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94.

If it is determined in step S3003 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S3003: NO), the process proceeds to step S3006 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S3006 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3006: NO), the process returns to step S3003, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S3006 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3006: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S3007, and the symbol display as the effect execution means is performed. The device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 are made to execute the above-described effect mode XB3. Then, the process proceeds to step S3008.

In step S3008, after the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94, the first button effect XB is ended.

In step S3001, when it is determined that the first executed flag is stored (S3001: YES), that is, when the button effect XB has already been executed at least once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Proceeds to step S3009, and causes the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means to execute the effect mode XB1. Then, the process proceeds to step S3010.

In step S3010, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3010 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3010: YES), the process proceeds to step S3012. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3010 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S3010: NO), the process proceeds to step S3011 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S3011 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3011: NO), the process returns to step S3010 to determine whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S3011 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3011: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S3012.

In step S3012, it is determined whether or not the button pressing flag is stored. If it is determined in step S3012 that the button pressing flag is stored (S3012: YES), the process proceeds to step S3013, and the effect mode XB2 is applied to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. After the execution, the second and subsequent button effect XBs are finished. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3012 that the button pressing flag is not stored (S3012: NO), the process proceeds to step S3014, and the effect mode is set on the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. After executing XB3, the second and subsequent button effect XBs are finished.

According to the above processing, the button effect XB can be executed a plurality of times with the same content regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XB process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 3 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XC as the effect element for déjà vu notice and executes the button effect XC twice. FIG. 52 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect modes XC1 and XC2 and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XC.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XC, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XC1 including the content suggesting the player to press the effect operation button 24 (S3101). In the example shown in FIG. 52, the effect mode XC1 is an effect mode in which an image of the treasure box is displayed and characters and an image prompting the pressing of the effect operation button 24 are displayed. However, the effect mode XC1 may be another mode.

After executing the effect mode XC1, regardless of whether the effect operation button 24 is pressed or not (S3102), the effect mode XC2 different from the effect mode XC1 is executed (S3103). .. Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S3102: YES), the effect mode XC2 is executed with the effect button 24 being pressed (S3102: YES). S3103). In the example shown in FIG. 52, the effect mode XC2 is an effect mode in which a female character appears from the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XC2 may be another mode. On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S3102: NO), the effect mode XC2 is executed when the predetermined time has elapsed (S3103).

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XC, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XC1 as in the case of the first button effect XC (S3104). After executing the effect mode XC1, the effect mode XC2 is executed regardless of whether the effect operation button 24 is pressed or not (S3105) (S3106). Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S3105: YES), the effect mode XC2 is executed with the effect button 24 being pressed (S3105: YES). S3106). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S3105: NO), the effect mode XC2 is executed when the predetermined time has elapsed (S3106).

When the second button effect XC is completed, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment suggests to the player that the button effect XC having the same content has been executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example). The effect F is executed (S3107). In the example shown in FIG. 52, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect.

When the button effect XC is executed three or more times, the same control as when the first and second button effect XCs are executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is performed after the final button effect XC is completed. Just do it.

As described above, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the operation mode of the input operation by the player (for example, the presence / absence of pressing the effect operation button 24, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May be done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, both when the button effect XC is executed for the first time and when the button effect XC is executed for the second time and thereafter, similarly, after the effect mode XC1 is executed, the input operation by the player is performed. The effect mode XC2 is executed regardless of the operation mode of. Therefore, even when the button effect XC is executed a plurality of times, the contents of the button effect XC executed the first time and the second and subsequent times can be the same. Then, as in the above embodiment, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu that the button effect XC having the same content has been executed a plurality of times.

A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect F is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the button effect XC having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the same. It is possible to convince the player that the button effect XC of the content is executed a plurality of times has a special meaning. However, it is not essential to execute the suggestion effect F, and the pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to execute the suggestion effect F.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player presses the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XC2 is triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Since it is executed, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XC, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game. Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within the predetermined time, the effect mode XC2 is executed when the predetermined time has elapsed. can do. Further, even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within the predetermined time, the effect mode XC2 is executed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness and the interest of the game can be improved. Can be done. However, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured to execute the effect mode XC2 at a predetermined timing without pressing the effect operation button 24 or the elapse of a predetermined time.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment forcibly executes the effect mode XC2 in the first button effect XC even if the player does not press the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time. Therefore, a player who knows this mechanism expects that when the first button effect XC is executed, the effect mode XC2 is forcibly executed without pressing the effect operation button 24. Will be done. Further, in the case of the pachinko machine 10 capable of executing the above-mentioned button effect XA and button effect XB in addition to the button effect XC, the effect mode XC2 is not forcibly executed in the first button effect. Even if there is, the player recognizes and suggests that the button effect being executed this time may be the above-mentioned button effect XA or the button effect XB, not the button effect XC. It is expected that there is a possibility that the production F will be executed. Therefore, the player can play the game with expectation for the second and subsequent button effects.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XC is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XC is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XC, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XC a plurality of times.

The pachinko machine 10 may be provided with a changing means for changing the mode of the effect operation button 24 to a mode when the effect is pressed (that is, a mode recessed by pressing). Then, the changing means had the effect operation button 24 pressed when the effect operation button 24 was not pressed (S3105: NO) and when the effect mode XC2 was executed (S3106). It is advisable to change the mode in the case. If such a changing means is provided, the mode of the effect operation button 24 is changed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness, and the effect mode XC2 can be changed even though the effect operation button 24 is not pressed. It can be convincing to be done. The changing means can be realized, for example, by providing an actuator such as a solenoid or a motor inside the effect operation button 24.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XC is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XC may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XC will be described.

FIG. 53 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XC is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In this button effect XC, the same processing is executed depending on whether the button effect XC is executed for the first time or after the second time.

In step S3201, the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means are made to execute the above-described effect mode XC1. The effect mode XC1 includes a content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S3202.

In step S3202, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3202 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3202: YES), the process proceeds to step S3204, and the effect described above is applied to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. After executing the aspect XC2, the button effect XC is terminated.

If it is determined in step S3202 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S3202: NO), the process proceeds to step S3203 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S3203 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3203: NO), the process returns to step S3202, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3203 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3203: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S3204 and the effect execution means is used. After the design display device 41, the speaker 46, and the various lamps 47 are made to execute the effect mode XC2, the button effect XC is terminated.

According to the above processing, the button effect XC can be executed a plurality of times with the same content regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XC process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 4 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 54 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XA as the effect element for déjà vu warning and executes the button effect XD twice. FIG. 55 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect selection screen XD1, the effect mode XD2, and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XD.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XD, it first includes a content suggesting to the player that the effect operation button 24 is pressed, and one of a plurality of options. The effect selection screen XD1 that allows the player to select an option is displayed (S3301). The effect selection screen XD1 is a selection screen in which the selection state is switched each time the effect operation button 24 is pressed. In the example shown in FIG. 55, in the effect selection screen XD1, a female character appears in the center of the screen, and a plurality of turtle characters carrying shells appear in front of the female character, and the effect operation button 24 is pressed. Each time, the turtle character moves to the left (S3302), and a new turtle character appears from the right side of the screen. In this embodiment, since the patterns of the characters of the turtles are the same, the mode of the effect selection screen XD1 does not change before and after the effect operation button 24 is pressed. However, the effect selection screen XD1 may have a mode other than that shown in FIG. 55, or may have a different mode before and after the effect operation button is pressed.

Then, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment executes the effect mode XD2 corresponding to the option selected at the timing when the predetermined time has elapsed (S3303). In the example shown in FIG. 55, in the production mode XD2, the turtle character in front of the female character is selected at the timing when the predetermined time elapses, the shell carried by the selected turtle character opens, and the shell This is a production mode in which pearls having predetermined characteristics appear from the inside. In the present embodiment, the design of each turtle character is the same, but the characteristics of objects such as pearls appearing in the shell are different for each turtle character.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XD, the pachinko machine 10 displays the same effect selection screen XD1 as the effect selection screen XD1 displayed in the first button effect XD (S3304). Then, each time the effect operation button 24 is pressed, the turtle character is moved to the left (S3305), and at the timing when the predetermined time elapses, it is the same as the effect mode XD2 corresponding to the first selected option. The effect mode XD2 is executed (S3306). In the example shown in FIG. 55, the turtle character in front of the female character is selected at the timing when a predetermined time elapses, the shell carried by the selected turtle character opens, and the first time from among the shells. The effect mode XD2 in which pearls having the same characteristics appear is executed.

When the second button effect XD is completed, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment suggests to the player that the button effect XD having the same content has been executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example). The effect F is executed (S3307). In the example shown in FIG. 55, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect.

When the button effect XD is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XD is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XD. Good.

As described above, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the operation mode of the input operation by the player (for example, the presence / absence of pressing the effect operation button 24, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May be done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect XD is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the button effect XD is executed from the second time onward regardless of the operation mode of the input operation by the player. In, the same effect mode as that executed in the first button effect XD is executed. Therefore, even when the button effect XD is executed a plurality of times, the contents of the button effect XD executed the first time and the second and subsequent times can be the same. Then, as in the above embodiment, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu that the button effect XD having the same content has been executed a plurality of times.

A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect F is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the button effect XD having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the same. It is possible to convince the player that the button effect XD of the content is executed a plurality of times has a special meaning. However, it is not essential to execute the suggestion effect F, and the pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to execute the suggestion effect F.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect selection screen XD1 has the same mode before and after the selection state is switched. Therefore, when the button effect XD is executed a plurality of times, the effect of the same mode is produced. The same effect mode XD2 is executed from the selection screen XD1. Therefore, the déjà vu given to the player can be enhanced.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XD is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XD is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XD, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XD a plurality of times.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XD is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XD may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XD will be described.

FIG. 56 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XD is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In step S3401, it is determined whether or not the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94. In step S3401, when it is determined that the first executed flag is not stored (S3401: NO), that is, when the button effect XD is not executed even once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. , Step S3402, the above-mentioned effect selection screen XD1 is displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the speaker 46 and various lamps 47 are made to execute the sound and light patterns corresponding to the effect selection screen XD1. The effect selection screen XD1 includes a content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S3403.

In step S3403, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3403 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3403: YES), the process proceeds to step S3404, and the effect selection screen XD1 in which the selection state has been switched is displayed on the symbol display device 41. In the example shown in FIG. 55, on the effect selection screen XD1, the turtle character moves to the left and a new turtle character appears from the right side of the screen. After that, the process proceeds to step S3405, and it is determined whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed.

If it is determined in step S3405 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3405: NO), the process returns to step S3403, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses.

If it is determined in step S3405 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3405: YES), the process proceeds to step S3406, and the selected effect mode XD2 is transmitted to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. Let it run. Then, the process proceeds to step S3407.

In step S3407, the type information of the effect mode XD2 executed in step S3406 is stored. After that, the process proceeds to step S3408, the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94, and then the first button effect XD is ended.

In step S3401, when it is determined that the first executed flag is stored (S3401: YES), that is, when the button effect XD has already been executed at least once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Steps to step S3409, the same effect selection screen XD1 as the first time is displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the speaker 46 and various lamps 47 are made to execute the sound and light patterns corresponding to the effect selection screen XD1. Then, the process proceeds to step S3410.

In step S3410, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3410 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3410: YES), the process proceeds to step S3411, and the effect selection screen XD1 in which the selection state has been switched is displayed on the symbol display device 41. After that, the process proceeds to step S3412, and it is determined whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed.

If it is determined in step S3412 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3412: NO), the process returns to step S3410, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses.

If it is determined in step S3412 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3412: YES), the process proceeds to step S3413, and the effect mode XD2 stored in step S3407 is displayed on the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and the effect execution means. After the various lamps 47 are executed, the second and subsequent button effect XDs are finished.

According to the above processing, the button effect XD can be executed a plurality of times with the same content regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XD process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 5 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XE as the effect element for déjà vu warning and executes the button effect XE twice. FIG. 58 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect selection screen XE1, the effect mode XE2, and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XE.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XE, the pachinko machine 10 includes a content suggesting to the player that the effect operation button 24 is pressed, and one effect from a plurality of effect modes. The effect selection screen XE1 that allows the player to select the mode is displayed (S3501). The effect selection screen XE1 is a selection screen in which the selection state of the effect mode is switched over time. In the example shown in FIG. 58, the effect selection screen XE1 is a roulette type selection screen in which the selection cursor moves with the passage of time to select one effect mode from the four effect modes. In the present embodiment, the moving speed of the selection cursor is so high that the player cannot select a specific effect mode. The effect selection screen XE1 may have another aspect.

Then, regardless of whether the effect operation button 24 is pressed or not (S3502), one effect mode is selected from the plurality of effect modes, and the effect mode is selected. The effect mode XE2 is executed (S3503). Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S3502: YES), the effect operation button 24 is pressed, and the effect mode is selected from the plurality of effect modes. With one effect mode selected, the selected effect mode XE2 is executed (S3503). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S3502: NO), one effect mode is selected from the plurality of effect modes when the predetermined time elapses. Then, the selected effect mode XE2 is executed (S3503). In the example shown in FIG. 58, the selected effect mode XE2 is a cut-in notice effect in which the turtle character is the main character. However, another effect mode may be selected as the effect mode, and each effect mode that can be selected may be another mode.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XE, the pachinko machine 10 displays the same effect selection screen XE1 as the effect selection screen XE1 displayed for the first time (S3504). Then, regardless of whether the effect operation button 24 is pressed or not (S3505), the same effect mode as the first selected effect mode is selected. The selected effect mode XE2 is executed (S3506). Specifically, when the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time (S3505: YES), the effect selected for the first time is triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. The same effect mode as the aspect is selected, and the selected effect mode XE2 is executed. On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S3505: NO), the same effect mode as the first selected effect mode is selected when the predetermined time elapses. In this state, the selected effect mode XE2 is executed (S3506).

When the second button effect XE is completed, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment suggests to the player that the button effect XE having the same content has been executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example). The effect F is executed (S3507). In the example shown in FIG. 58, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect.

When the button effect XE is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XE is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XE. Good.

As described above, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the operation mode of the input operation by the player (for example, the presence / absence of pressing the effect operation button 24, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May be done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect XE is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu warning, the button effect XE is executed from the second time onward regardless of the operation mode of the input operation by the player. In, the same effect mode as that executed in the first button effect XE is selected and executed. Therefore, even when the button effect XE is executed a plurality of times, the contents of the button effect XE executed the first time and the second and subsequent times can be the same. Then, as in the above embodiment, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu that the button effect XE having the same content has been executed a plurality of times.

A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect F is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the button effect XE having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the same. It is possible to convince the player that the button effect XE of the content is executed a plurality of times has a special meaning. However, it is not essential to execute the suggestion effect F, and the pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to execute the suggestion effect F.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XE is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XE is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the moving speed of the selection cursor is so high that the player cannot select a specific effect mode. Therefore, even though the player aims to stop the selection cursor in an effect mode different from the effect mode selected for the first time, the same effect mode as the effect mode selected for the first time is forcibly selected. It is possible to reduce the discomfort of the player that the cursor has been played.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XE, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XE a plurality of times.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XE is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XE may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XE will be described.

FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XE is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In step S3601, it is determined whether or not the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S3601 that the first executed flag is not stored (S3601: NO), the process proceeds to step S3602, the above-mentioned roulette-type effect selection screen XE1 is displayed on the symbol display device 41, and the speaker is displayed. The 46 and the various lamps 47 are made to execute the sound and light patterns corresponding to the effect selection screen XE1. The effect selection screen XE1 includes content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S3603.

In step S3603, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3603 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3603: YES), the process proceeds to step S3605, the selection cursor is stopped at the timing when the effect operation button 24 is pressed, and one effect is produced. An image indicating that the aspect is selected is displayed on the symbol display device 41. Then, the process proceeds to step S3606.

If it is determined in step S3603 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S3603: NO), the process proceeds to step S3604 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S3604 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3604: NO), the process returns to step S3603, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses.

If it is determined in step S3604 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3604: YES), the process proceeds to step S3605, the selection cursor is stopped at the timing when the predetermined time has elapsed, and an image showing that one effect mode has been selected. Is displayed on the symbol display device 41. Then, the process proceeds to step S3606.

In step S3606, the effect mode XE2 selected in step S3605 is executed by the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. Then, the process proceeds to step S3607.

In step S3607, the type of the effect mode XE2 executed in step S3606 is stored in the sound / light side RAM 94. Then, the process proceeds to step S3608.

In step S3608, after the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94, the first button effect XE is ended.

In step S3601, when it is determined that the first executed flag is stored (S3601: YES), that is, when the button effect XE has already been executed at least once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Goes to step S3609, displays the same effect selection screen XE1 as the first time on the symbol display device 41, and causes the speaker 46 and various lamps 47 to execute the sound and light patterns corresponding to the effect selection screen XE1. Then, the process proceeds to step S3610.

In step S3610, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S3610 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S3610: YES), the process proceeds to step S3612, which is the timing after the effect operation button 24 is pressed and is stored in step S3607. The selection cursor is stopped at the timing when the effect mode XE2 is selected, and the symbol display device 41 displays an image indicating that the stored effect mode XE2 is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S3613.

If it is determined in step S3610 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S3610: NO), the process proceeds to step S3611 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S3611 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S3611: NO), the process returns to step S3610 to determine whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses.

If it is determined in step S3611 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S3611: YES), the process proceeds to step S3612, and the effect mode XE2 stored in step S3607 is selected at the timing after the predetermined time has elapsed. The selection cursor is stopped at the timing, and the symbol display device 41 displays an image indicating that the stored effect mode XE2 has been selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S3613.

In step S3613, after the effect mode XE2 selected in step S3612 is executed by the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means, the second and subsequent button effect XEs are terminated.

According to the above processing, the button effect XE can be executed a plurality of times with the same content regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XE process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 6 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XF as an effect element for déjà vu advance notice and executes the button effect XF twice. FIG. 61 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect modes XF1 and XF2 and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XF.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XF, the content suggesting to the player that the effect operation buttons 24 are repeatedly hit, and the predetermined parameters move in a certain direction with the passage of time. The effect mode XF1 including the changing content is executed (S3701). In the example shown in FIG. 61, the effect mode XF1 includes a content in which the character of the crab on the player side is attacked by the character of the crab on the enemy side with ink and tries to withstand the attack of the ink, and the crab This is a production mode in which the parameter indicating the physical strength of the character of the character changes in the direction of decreasing under the attack of ink. Further, in the effect mode XF1, as an example of a message suggesting to the player that the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit, a character such as "Repeat and endure!" Is displayed. However, the effect mode XF1 may be another mode.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the effect mode XF1 is executed, the parameters decrease with the passage of time (S3702). At this time, if the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit by the player, the pachinko machine 10 executes control to reduce the rate of decrease of the parameter. Specifically, the pachinko machine 10 executes control so that the decrease rate of the parameter decreases as the number of presses of the effect operation button 24 per unit time increases. In this way, the player repeatedly hits the effect operation button 24 so that the number of presses of the effect operation button 24 per unit time is increased in order to reduce the rate of decrease of the parameter. In the example shown in FIG. 61, the player tries to reduce the rate of decrease of the parameter by repeatedly hitting the effect operation button 24 so that the crab character can withstand the attack of the octopus. Therefore, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XF, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game.

Then, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment executes the effect mode XF2 after the parameters satisfy the predetermined parameter conditions (S3704). Specifically, after the parameter decreases to 0, the effect mode XF2 is executed (S3704). In the example shown in FIG. 61, the effect mode XF2 is an effect mode including the content that the crab character on the player side cannot withstand the attack of the octopus character on the enemy side and is defeated. However, the effect mode XF2 may be another mode.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XF, the pachinko machine 10 executes the same control as in the case of the first button effect XF. Specifically, the effect mode XF1 is executed (S3705), the parameter is decreased with the passage of time (S3706), and after the parameter becomes 0 (S3707), the effect mode XF2 is executed (S3708). That is, the effect mode XF1 and the effect mode XF2 are executed regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24.

When the second button effect XF is completed, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment suggests to the player that the button effect XF having the same content has been executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example). The effect F is executed (S3709). In the example shown in FIG. 61, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect.

When the button effect XF is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XF is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XF. Good.

As described above, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the button effect is executed with different contents depending on the operation mode of the input operation by the player (for example, the presence / absence of pressing the effect operation button 24, the timing, the number of times of pressing, etc.). May be done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, both when the button effect XF is executed for the first time and when the button effect XF is executed for the second time and thereafter, similarly, after the effect mode XF1 is executed, the input operation by the player Regardless of the operation mode of, the parameter is reduced to 0, and the effect mode XF2 is executed. Therefore, even when the button effect XF is executed a plurality of times, the contents of the button effect XF executed the first time and the second and subsequent times can be the same. Then, it is possible to give the player a déjà vu that the button effect XF having the same content has been executed a plurality of times.

A player who recognizes the déjà vu has a feeling of expectation that the déjà vu may have a special meaning, for example, a privilege may be given. Further, when the player experiences that the privilege is given after the effect element having the same content is executed multiple times, the effect element is expected to be executed multiple times with the same content. Every time it is executed, he always pays attention to the production elements with a high expectation. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the effect elements having the same content are executed a plurality of times, and to appropriately increase the player's attention to the effect elements to be executed sequentially, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be planned.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect F is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the button effect XF having the same content has been executed a plurality of times, and the same. It is possible to convince the player that the button effect XF of the content is executed a plurality of times has a special meaning. In particular, when a production mode that is disadvantageous to the player (for example, a production mode in which the character on the player side is defeated) is executed as the production mode XF2, the suggestive effect is executed from a depressed feeling, and the player You can raise your expectations at once. However, it is not essential to execute the suggestion effect F, and the pachinko machine 10 may be configured not to execute the suggestion effect F.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XF, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XF a plurality of times.

The pachinko machine 10 stores the process of changing the parameters when the first button effect XF is executed, and the process of changing the stored parameters when the second and subsequent button effect XFs are executed. May be reproduced. By doing so, the process of changing the parameters is the same in each of the button effect XFs executed a plurality of times, so that a stronger déjà vu can be given to the player.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 may be provided with a changing means for changing the mode of the effect operation button 24 to a mode when the effect is pressed (that is, a mode recessed by pressing). Then, when the pachinko machine 10 executes the first button effect XF, the pachinko machine 10 memorizes the process of changing the mode of the effect operation button 24 when the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit by the player, and the second and subsequent times. When the button effect XF is executed, the process of changing the mode of the stored effect operation button 24 may be reproduced by the changing means. By doing so, the mode of the effect operation button 24 is changed, so that the game can be given unexpectedness. Further, in the second and subsequent button effect XFs, the process of changing the mode of the effect operation button 24 in the first button effect XF is reproduced, so that a stronger déjà vu can be given to the player.

Further, in the above example, the example in which the parameter is changed in the direction of decreasing with the passage of time has been described, but the parameter may be changed in the direction of increasing with the passage of time. In this case, the pachinko machine 10 may perform control so that the increasing speed of the parameter increases as the number of presses of the effect operation button 24 per unit time increases. Examples of the parameters to be increased with the passage of time include the attack power parameter of the character on the player side, the power parameter, and the like. Then, after the parameters increase and reach a predetermined value such as the maximum value, a positive effect mode such as a victory effect may be executed. In this way, as in the above example, the parameters increase to a predetermined maximum value regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 by the player. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 uses the button effect XF. It can be executed multiple times with the same content. Further, the player repeatedly hits the effect operation button 24 so that the number of presses of the effect operation button 24 per unit time is increased in order to increase the rate of increase of the parameter. Therefore, as in the above example, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XF, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game.

Further, in the above example, the parameter has a mode shown in a rod shape, but is not limited to this, and may be a mode shown in another shape such as a circle, and is shown only by a numerical value. It may be in the above-mentioned embodiment.

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XF will be described.

FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XF is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In this button effect XF, the same processing is executed depending on whether the button effect XF is executed the first time or after the second time.

In step S3801, the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means are made to execute the above-described effect mode XF1. The effect mode XF1 includes a content that suggests the player to repeatedly hit the effect operation button 24, and a content that the physical strength parameter changes in a direction of decreasing with the passage of time. After executing step S3801, the process proceeds to step S3802.

In step S3802, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit. Specifically, for example, the number of times the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time is counted, and when the number of times of pressing is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, it is determined that the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly pressed. If it is determined in step S3802 that the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit (S3802: YES), the process proceeds to step S3803, and the physical strength parameter is lowered at a predetermined speed. Then, the process proceeds to step S3805.

If it is determined in step S3802 that the effect operation button 24 is not repeatedly hit (S3802: NO), the process proceeds to step S3804, and the physical strength parameter is lowered at a speed faster than the predetermined speed in step S3803. Then, the process proceeds to step S3805.

In step S3805, it is determined whether or not the physical fitness parameter has become 0. If it is determined in step S3805 that the physical strength parameter is not 0 (S3805: NO), the process returns to step S3802, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit. That is, the presence or absence of repeated hits of the effect operation button 24 is monitored until the physical strength parameter becomes 0, the physical strength parameter is lowered at a slow speed during the period when the effect operation button 24 is repeatedly hit, and the effect operation button 24 is not repeatedly hit. During the period, the health parameter is lowered at a high speed.

If it is determined in step S3805 that the physical strength parameter has become 0 (S3805: YES), the process proceeds to step S3806, and the above-described effect mode XF2 is applied to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. Let it run. After that, the first or second and subsequent notice productions for déjà vu notice are completed.

In the above example, the speed at which the physical strength value is lowered is described as two steps depending on the presence or absence of repeated hits, but even if the speed is three or more steps depending on the number of times the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time. Good.

According to the above processing, the button effect XF can be executed a plurality of times with the same content regardless of the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XF process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 7 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XG as the effect element for déjà vu notice and executes the button effect XA twice. FIG. 64 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect modes XG1 and XG2 and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XG.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XG, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XG1 including the content suggesting the player to press the effect operation button 24 (S3901). In the example shown in FIG. 64, the effect mode XG1 is an effect mode in which an image of the treasure box is displayed and characters and an image prompting the pressing of the effect operation button 24 are displayed. However, the effect mode XA1 may be another mode.

If the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time after executing the effect mode XG1 (S3902: YES), the effect mode XG1 and the effect mode XG1 are triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Executes a different production mode XG2 (S3903). In the example shown in FIG. 64, the effect mode XG2 is an effect mode in which a female character appears from the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XG2 may be another mode. On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within a predetermined time (S3902: NO), the effect mode XG2 is not executed while the effect mode XG1 is being executed.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XG, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XG1 (S3904 or S3908) as in the case of the first button effect XG. Then, if the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time after executing the effect mode XG1 (S3905: YES or S3909: YES), the effect trigger is that the effect operation button 24 is pressed. As the effect mode XG2 is executed (S3906 or S3910). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within a predetermined time (S3905: NO or S3909: NO), the effect mode XG2 is not executed while the effect mode XG1 is being executed.

Then, in the pachinko machine 10, when the effect mode XG2 is executed in all of the button effect XGs executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example), or in all the button effect XGs executed a plurality of times. When XG2 is not executed even once, the suggestion effect F suggesting to the player that the button effect XG has been executed a plurality of times with the same content is executed (S3907 or S3911). In the example shown in FIG. 64, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect. On the other hand, when the same content is not executed even once in the button effect XG executed a plurality of times, specifically, although the effect mode XG2 is executed in the first button effect XG, the second time. When the effect mode XG2 is not executed in the button effect XG of, and even though the effect mode XG2 is not executed in the first button effect XG, the effect mode XG2 is executed in the second button effect XG. In that case, the suggestion effect F is not executed, and the normal reach effect or the like is executed.

When the button effect XG is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XG is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XG. It may be judged whether or not.

According to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player performs the same input operation in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, the button effect XG is executed a plurality of times with the same contents, which is the same. It is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu that the button effect XG of the content of is executed a plurality of times. Further, when the button effect XG with the same content is executed multiple times, the suggestion effect F is executed, so that the player is made to recognize that the button effect XG with the same content has been executed multiple times. At the same time, it is possible to convince the player that the button effect XG having the same content is executed multiple times has a special meaning.

Further, when the player experiences the suggestion effect F after the button effect XG is executed a plurality of times with the same content, the player expects that the suggestion effect F is executed, and each time the button effect XG is executed, the player expects the suggestion effect F to be executed. The effect operation button 24 is operated so that the button effect XG is executed with the same contents by performing the same input operation, and the occurrence of the suggestion effect F is expected. Therefore, the player's attention to the button effect XG that is sequentially executed can be suitably increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player presses the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XG2 is triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Since it is executed, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XG, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game. However, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured to execute the effect mode XG2 at a predetermined timing without triggering the pressing of the effect operation button 24.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XG is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XG is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XG, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XG a plurality of times.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XG is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XG may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XG will be described.

FIG. 65 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XG is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In step S4001, it is determined whether or not the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94.

In step S4001, when it is determined that the first executed flag is not stored (S4001: NO), that is, when the button effect XG is not executed even once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. , Step S4002, the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means are made to execute the above-described effect mode XG1. The effect mode XG1 includes a content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S4003.

In step S4003, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S4003 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S4003: YES), the process proceeds to step S4004, and the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means are described above. The production mode XG2 is executed. After executing step S4004, the process proceeds to step S4005, and the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94. The button pressing flag is a flag for specifying in the sound light side MPU 92 that the effect operation button 24 was pressed when the first button effect XG was executed. After executing step S4005, the process proceeds to step S4007.

If it is determined in step S4003 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S4003: NO), the process proceeds to step S4006 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S4006 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S4006: NO), the process returns to step S4003, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S4006 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S4006: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the step S4004 and step S4005 are not executed. Proceed to S4007.

In step S4007, the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the RAM 94. After that, the process proceeds to step S4008, and the suggestion effect execution flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the RAM 94, and the first button effect XG is ended.

The suggestion effect execution flag is that when the button effect XG is executed a plurality of times after the déjà vu notice flag is stored, the same effect mode XG2 is executed in all of the multiple button effect XGs. Alternatively, it is a flag for specifying in the sound light side MPU 92 that the effect mode XG2 has never been executed in all of the plurality of button effect XGs.

As will be described in the processing of each step below, the suggestion effect execution flag is the second and subsequent times when the effect mode XG2 is executed in the first button effect XG after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. If the effect mode XG2 is not executed even once in the button effect XG, it is deleted. Further, the suggestion effect execution flag is set to the effect mode even once in the second and subsequent button effect XGs when the effect mode XG2 is not executed in the first button effect XG after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. It is erased when XG2 is executed. That is, when the button effect XG is executed a plurality of times after the déjà vu notice flag is stored, and the same effect mode XG2 is executed in all of the plurality of button effect XGs, or the plurality of times. When the effect mode XG2 is never executed in all of the button effect XG times, the suggestion effect execution flag is not erased and remains stored. In the present embodiment, when setting the content of the advance notice effect of the game times related to the hold information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu advance notice is satisfied, it is determined whether or not this suggestion effect execution flag is stored. Then, when it is determined that the suggestion effect execution flag is stored, the suggestion effect F described above is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the suggestion effect execution flag is not stored, the suggestion effect F is not executed and the normal reach effect or the like is executed. Hereinafter, the description of the process of each step of FIG. 65 will be returned.

In step S4001, when it is determined that the first executed flag is stored (S4001: YES), that is, when the button effect XG has already been executed at least once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Proceeds to step S4009, and causes the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means to execute the effect mode XG1. Then, the process proceeds to step S4010.

In step S4010, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S4010 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S4010: YES), the process proceeds to step S4011, and the effect mode XG2 is applied to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. To execute. After that, the process proceeds to step S4012, and it is determined whether or not the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94.

If it is determined in step S4012 that the button pressing flag is stored (S4012: YES), the second and subsequent button effect XGs are terminated without erasing the suggestion effect execution flag. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4012 that the button pressing flag is not stored (S4012: NO), the process proceeds to step S4015.

In step S4015, when the suggestion effect execution flag is stored, the suggestion effect execution flag is erased, and the second and subsequent button effect XGs are terminated. If the suggestion effect execution flag is not stored, the second and subsequent button effect XGs are terminated as they are.

If it is determined in step S4010 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S4010: NO), the process proceeds to step S4013 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S4013 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S4013: NO), the process returns to step S4010, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S4013 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S4013: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S4014.

In step S4014, it is determined whether or not the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S4014 that the button press flag is stored (S4014: YES), the process proceeds to step S4015 described above, and if the suggestion effect execution flag is stored, the suggestion effect execution flag is deleted. .. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4014 that the button pressing flag is not stored (S4014: NO), the second and subsequent button effect XGs are terminated without erasing the suggestion effect execution flag.

According to the above processing, the suggestion effect F can be executed only when the button effect XG is executed a plurality of times with the same content. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XG process may be realized by another algorithm.

<Example 8 of déjà vu notice using button effect>
FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing a flow when the pachinko machine 10 selects the button effect XH as an effect element for déjà vu advance notice and executes the button effect XH twice. FIG. 67 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the effect modes XH1, XH2, XH3 and the suggestion effect F executed in the button effect XH.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the first button effect XH, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XH1 including the content suggesting the player to press the effect operation button 24 (S4101). In the example shown in FIG. 67, the effect mode XH1 is an effect mode in which an image of the treasure box is displayed and characters and an image prompting the pressing of the effect operation button 24 are displayed. However, the effect mode XH1 may be another mode.

If the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time after executing the effect mode XH1 (S4102: YES), the effect mode XH1 and the effect mode XH1 are triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Executes a different effect mode XH2 (S4103). In the example shown in FIG. 67, the effect mode XH2 is an effect mode in which a female character appears from the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XH2 may be another mode. On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S4102: NO), the effect mode XH3, which is different from the effect mode XH1 and the effect mode XH2, is executed (S4109). .. In the example shown in FIG. 67, the effect mode XH3 is an effect mode in which the fish character carries away the treasure chest. However, the effect mode XH3 may be another mode.

When the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment starts the execution of the second button effect XH, the pachinko machine 10 executes the effect mode XH1 (S4104 or S4110) as in the case of the first button effect XH. Then, if the effect operation button 24 is pressed within a predetermined time after executing the effect mode XH1 (S4105: YES or S4111: YES), the effect trigger is that the effect operation button 24 is pressed. As the effect mode XH2 is executed (S4106 or S4112). On the other hand, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time (S4105: NO or S4111: NO), the effect mode XH3 is executed with the elapse of the predetermined time (S4107).

Then, in the pachinko machine 10, when the effect mode XH2 is executed in all of the button effect XH executed a plurality of times (twice in the above example), or in all the button effect XH executed a plurality of times. When XH3 is executed, the suggestion effect F suggesting to the player that the button effect XH has been executed a plurality of times with the same content is executed (S4108 or S4114). In the example shown in FIG. 67, the suggestion effect F is an effect in which a female character throws a message such as "Maybe deja vu !?" to the player. However, the suggestion effect F may be in another mode. After that, the pachinko machine 10 executes other effects such as the above-mentioned battle effect. On the other hand, when the same content is not executed even once in the button effect XH executed a plurality of times, specifically, although the effect mode XH2 is executed in the first button effect XH, the second time. When the effect mode XH3 is executed in the button effect XH of the above, and when the effect mode XH2 is executed in the second button effect XH even though the effect mode XH3 is executed in the first button effect XH. Instead of executing the suggestion effect F, a normal reach effect or the like is executed.

When the button effect XH is executed three or more times, the same control as when the second button effect XH is executed is repeatedly executed, and the suggestion effect F is executed after the end of the last button effect XH. It may be judged whether or not.

According to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player performs the same input operation in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, the button effect XH is executed a plurality of times with the same contents, which is the same. It is possible to give the player a sense of déjà vu that the button effect XH of the content of is executed a plurality of times. Further, when the button effect XH with the same content is executed a plurality of times, the suggestion effect F is executed, so that the player is made to recognize that the button effect XH with the same content has been executed a plurality of times. At the same time, it is possible to convince the player that the button effect XH having the same content is executed multiple times has a special meaning.

Further, when the player experiences the suggestion effect F after the button effect XH is executed a plurality of times with the same content, the player expects that the suggestion effect F is executed, and each time the button effect XH is executed, the player expects the suggestion effect F to be executed. The effect operation button 24 is operated so that the button effect XH is executed with the same contents by performing the same input operation, and the occurrence of the suggestion effect F is expected. Therefore, the player's attention to the button effect XH that is sequentially executed can be suitably increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the player presses the effect operation button 24 within a predetermined time, the effect mode XH2 is triggered by the press of the effect operation button 24. Since it is executed, the player can be actively involved in the button effect XH, and the player can be provided with a sense of unity with the game. However, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured to execute the effect mode XH2 at a predetermined timing without triggering the pressing of the effect operation button 24.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied, the button effect XH is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect XH is performed a plurality of times. When executing, the time parameter indicating whether or not the pressing of the effect operation button 24 is within the acceptable time is not displayed. The reason for this will be explained. The player may press the effect operation button 24 at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times. Here, if the time parameter is displayed, the player recognizes that the effect operation button 24 is pressed at different timings in each of the button effects executed a plurality of times, and the button effects have the same contents. Even if is executed a plurality of times, the player may not feel a sense of déjà vu for the button effect executed a plurality of times. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the button effect is executed a plurality of times as an effect element for déjà vu notice, the time parameter is not displayed, so that the player is less likely to feel the déjà vu. It is possible to prevent it from being stored. However, when the pachinko machine 10 satisfies the condition for generating the déjà vu notice, the button effect is selected as the effect element for the déjà vu notice, and the button effect is executed a plurality of times, the time is required. It may be configured to display parameters.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied before the pending information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the déjà vu notice is generated. When it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the button effect XH, which is the target to be executed multiple times before the pending information determined to satisfy the conditions for generating the déjà vu notice is subject to the jackpot lottery. Starts executing. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for déjà vu over a plurality of game times. However, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the condition for generating the déjà vu notice is satisfied when the hold information is subject to the jackpot lottery, and the button effect is produced in one game round related to the hold information. It may be configured to execute XH a plurality of times.

In the present embodiment, the control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XH is executed based on whether or not the effect operation button 24 is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect operation button 24 may be used. Control of the effect mode executed in the button effect XH may be executed based on whether or not the operation mode of the input operation of the effect operation button 24 satisfies a predetermined operation condition such as the time and the number of times the button is pressed. ..

Further, in the above example, the effect operation button 24 has been described as an example of the operation accepting means for accepting the input operation by the player, but the operation accepting means is not limited to this. For example, as an operation receiving means, a stick or lever operated by the player back and forth or left and right, a button for detecting the hand held by the player, a touch sensor for detecting the hand approaching the LCD screen, etc. should be adopted. Can be done. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the button effect XH will be described.

FIG. 68 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the button effect XH is executed as an effect element (notice effect) for déjà vu advance notice. In step S4201, it is determined whether or not the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound light side RAM 94.

In step S4201, when it is determined that the first executed flag is not stored (S4201: NO), that is, when the button effect XH is not executed even once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. , Step S4202, the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means are made to execute the above-described effect mode XH1. The effect mode XH1 includes a content that suggests the player to press the effect operation button 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S4203.

In step S4203, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S4203 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S4203: YES), the process proceeds to step S4204, and the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means are described above. The effect mode XH2 is executed. After executing step S4204, the process proceeds to step S4205, and the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94. The button pressing flag is a flag for specifying in the sound light side MPU 92 that the effect operation button 24 was pressed when the first button effect XH was executed. After executing step S4205, the process proceeds to step S4207.

If it is determined in step S4203 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S4203: NO), the process proceeds to step S4206 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S4206 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S4206: NO), the process returns to step S4203, and it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S4206 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S4206: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S4207 to display the symbol as the effect execution means. The device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 are made to execute the above-described effect mode XH3. Then, the process proceeds to step S4208.

In step S4208, the first executed flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the RAM 94. After that, the process proceeds to step S4209, the suggestion effect execution flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the RAM 94, and the first button effect XH is ended.

The suggestion effect execution flag is that when the button effect XH is executed a plurality of times after the déjà vu notice flag is stored, the same effect mode XH2 is executed in all of the plurality of button effect XHs. Alternatively, it is a flag for specifying in the sound light side MPU 92 that the effect mode XH2 has never been executed in all of the plurality of button effect XHs.

As will be described in the processing of each step below, the suggestion effect execution flag is the second and subsequent times when the effect mode XH2 is executed in the first button effect XH after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. When the effect mode XH3 is executed even once in the button effect XH, it is deleted. Further, the suggestion effect execution flag is set to the effect mode XH2 even once in the second and subsequent button effect XHs when the effect mode XH3 is executed in the first button effect XH after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Is erased when is executed. That is, when the button effect XH is executed a plurality of times after the déjà vu notice flag is stored, and the same effect mode XH2 is executed in all of the plurality of button effect XHs, or the plurality of times. When the same effect mode XH3 is executed in all of the button effect XH times, the suggestion effect execution flag is not erased and remains stored. In the present embodiment, when setting the content of the advance notice effect of the game times related to the hold information determined that the condition for generating the déjà vu advance notice is satisfied, it is determined whether or not this suggestion effect execution flag is stored. Then, when it is determined that the suggestion effect execution flag is stored, the suggestion effect F described above is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the suggestion effect execution flag is not stored, the suggestion effect F is not executed and the normal reach effect or the like is executed. Hereinafter, the description of the process of each step of FIG. 68 will be returned.

In step S4201, when it is determined that the first executed flag is stored (S4201: YES), that is, when the button effect XH has already been executed at least once after the déjà vu notice flag is stored. Proceeds to step S4210, and causes the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect executing means to execute the effect mode XH1. Then, the process proceeds to step S4211.

In step S4211, it is determined whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. If it is determined in step S4211 that the effect operation button 24 has been pressed (S4211: YES), the process proceeds to step S4212, and the effect mode XH2 is applied to the symbol display device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 as the effect execution means. To execute. After that, the process proceeds to step S4213, and it is determined whether or not the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94.

If it is determined in step S4213 that the button pressing flag is stored (S4213: YES), the second and subsequent button effect XHs are terminated without erasing the suggestion effect execution flag. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4213 that the button pressing flag is not stored (S4213: NO), the process proceeds to step S4217.

In step S4217, when the suggestion effect execution flag is stored, the suggestion effect execution flag is erased, and the second and subsequent button effect XHs are terminated. If the suggestion effect execution flag is not stored, the second and subsequent button effect XHs are terminated as they are.

If it is determined in step S4211 that the effect operation button 24 has not been pressed (S4211: NO), the process proceeds to step S4214 to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S4214 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S4214: NO), the process returns to step S4211 to determine whether or not the effect operation button 24 has been pressed. That is, the presence or absence of pressing the effect operation button 24 is monitored until a predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S4214 that the predetermined time has elapsed (S4214: YES), that is, if the effect operation button 24 is not pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S4215, and the symbol display as the effect execution means is performed. The device 41, the speaker 46, and various lamps 47 are made to execute the effect mode XH3. Then, the process proceeds to step S4216.

In step S4216, it is determined whether or not the button pressing flag is stored in the various flag storage areas 94a of the sound / light side RAM 94. If it is determined in step S4216 that the button press flag is stored (S4216: YES), the process proceeds to step S4217 described above, and if the suggestion effect execution flag is stored, the suggestion effect execution flag is deleted. .. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4216 that the button pressing flag is not stored (S4216: NO), the second and subsequent button effect XHs are terminated without erasing the suggestion effect execution flag.

According to the above processing, the suggestion effect F can be executed only when the button effect XH is executed a plurality of times with the same content. The process described above is an example, and the button effect XH process may be realized by another algorithm.

According to the present embodiment described above, various expectations can be given to the player. In particular, if the pachinko machine 10 has a configuration in which at least two or more of the above-mentioned button effects XA, XB, XC, XG, and XH can be selected as déjà vu warning effect elements, the player can select the buttons. While paying close attention to the mode of production performed in the production, various predictions are made as to what kind of button production is being executed, and the occurrence of suggestive production is expected. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

H. Modification example:
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be implemented in various aspects without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the following modifications are also possible.

H1. Modification 1:
In the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 stores the contents of the game effect executed in the latest game times or the effect elements constituting the game effect, and executes the déjà vu notice regardless of the presence or absence of the hold information. In the case, the memorized game effect or the content of the effect element constituting the game effect may be executed in the next game time. With such a configuration, even if there is a new prize in the state where there is no hold information, the game effect or the game effect executed in the previous game time is configured in the game time related to the prize. Since the effect element to be performed is executed, the game effect having the same content or the effect element constituting the game effect can be executed a plurality of times, and the player can be given a sense of déjà vu.

H2. Modification 2:
In the above embodiment, when the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times, the effect element to be executed first may be started at the same time as the effect element to be executed first is finished. In this way, the player can be given a stronger sense of déjà vu.

H3. Modification 3:
In the above embodiment, after the effect elements having the same content have been executed a plurality of times, a suggestion effect suggesting to the player that the effect elements having the same content have been executed a plurality of times is executed. However, it may be configured to execute a pre-suggestion effect that suggests to the player that the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times before the effect element having the same content is executed a plurality of times. .. In this way, the player who recognizes the pre-suggestion effect can be made to have a strong interest in the effect element to be executed after that.
