It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, it is possible to provide the player with an unexpected effect that is difficult to realize with a movable body.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A predetermined ball receiving member always keeps a constant open state at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three places on the lower left of the game area and one place on the upper side of the variable winning ball device 6B).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the pachinko gaming machine 1. On the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, a main board 11 housed in a board case 201 is mounted. The main board 11 is provided with a setting key 51 and a setting changeover switch 52. The setting key 51 functions as a lock switch for switching to a setting change state or a setting confirmation state. The setting changeover switch 52 functions as a setting switch for changing set values such as a jackpot winning probability and a ball output rate in a setting change state. The setting key 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 may be attached to the outside of the main board 11 such as a predetermined position of the power supply board 17.

A display monitor 29 is arranged in the center of the back surface of the main board 11, and a display changeover switch 31 is arranged on the side of the display monitor 29. The display monitor 29 may be configured by using, for example, a 7-segment LED display device.

The security cover 50A is a substantially L-shaped member including a short piece 50Aa and a long piece 50Ab, and may be made of a transparent synthetic resin.

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

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

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

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

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

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a jackpot symbol. If a special symbol different from the above (missing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing". The "missing" in the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a "missing time saving" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time saving state) without going through the jackpot game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed.

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

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

The reset signal, power cutoff signal, and clear signal from the power supply board 17 are taken into the switch circuit 110 and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The reset signal is an operation stop signal for putting the control circuit of the game control microcomputer 100 or the like into an operation stop state, and can be output by using any of the power supply monitoring circuit, the watchdog timer built-in IC, and the system reset IC. All you need is. The power off signal is turned off when the predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and is turned on when the period during which the predetermined power supply voltage is below the predetermined value continues for the power interruption reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on in response to, for example, a pressing operation on the clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The production control CPU 120 controls the audio output, the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp (supply of sound designation signal and lamp signal, etc.), and the control of the mounted movable body 32 (supply of the signal for operating the mounted movable body 32, etc.). You may want to do it.

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

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

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as sub-boards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

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

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

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

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

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

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the setting change process (step S7) is executed after the initialization process (step S6) is executed. The initialization process of step S6 includes a clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and the initial value is set in the work area by executing the clear process.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After storing the hold information and the number of hold memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the judgment result such as the occurrence of the start winning prize, the number of hold memories, the read-ahead judgment, etc. is set on the effect control board 12. Be told. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As shown in FIG. 7A, when the variable special figure is the first special figure, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range is in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hits", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time reduction". It is assigned to "out of place", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "out of place". When the set value is 1 and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, out of the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hits", and the other numerical ranges are set to "missing". Assigned. It should be noted that the case where the variable special figure has the set value of 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7 (A).

As shown in FIG. 7B, when the variable special figure is the second special figure, when the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range is in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken and compared with the random value MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hits", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time reduction". It is assigned to "out of place", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "out of place". When the set value is 1 and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, out of the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hits", and the other numerical ranges are set to "missing". Assigned. It should be noted that the case where the variable special figure has the set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7 (B).

Here, paying attention to the numerical range of the hit judgment value assigned to "big hit" and "out of time saving" in each display result judgment table, as shown in FIG. 8, when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. In the display result determination table for the first special figure in the above, the range from 102 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the jackpot determination values for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of ~ set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the set value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the set value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the set value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the set value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the display result judgment table for the first special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the hit judgment values that can take values in the range of 0 to 65535 are common. While only the numerical values in the numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", when the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. The numbers in the range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). I will go.

Further, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time reduction state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit determination values determines the time reduction loss regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the loss judgment value with time reduction. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020-1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the time is shortened. The loss judgment value is in the range of 65317 to 65535, with 65317 as the reference value for the loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of the jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6. Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss judgment value with time reduction overlaps with the range of the jackpot judgment value that changes according to each set value.

Further, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the probability change state, the range of the hit determination values from 1020 to 1346 is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit"), while the set value 2 to set. In the case of the value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set to the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value is the range of 1347 to 1383 for the set value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for the set value 3, the range of 1347 to 1487 for the set value 4, and the range of 1347 to 1556 for the set value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the probabilistic state, the common numerical range (of the hit determination values that can take values in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1) When only the numerical values in 1020 to 1346) are assigned to "big hit", when the set value is 2 or more, it is within the range of the common numerical range plus the non-common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. The numbers are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1347 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). I will go.

In the display result judgment table for the second special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit judgment values is the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of ~ set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the set value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the set value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the set value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the set value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the value can be taken in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. Of the hit judgment values, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, the common numerical range of the big hit judgment values is set. Numerical values within the range including the non-common numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). I will go.

Further, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time reduction state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values determines the time reduction loss regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the loss judgment value with time reduction. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the time is shortened. The loss judgment value is in the range of 65317 to 65425, with 65317 as the reference value for the loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of the jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6. Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the time saving loss judgment value overlaps with the range of the jackpot judgment value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result judgment table for the second special figure when the game state is the probability change state, the range from 102 to 1346 of the hit judgment values is a common numerical value of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the range. The features of the other display result determination table for the second special figure are the same as those of the display result determination table for the first special figure.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, 65317 to 65317 to the case where the gaming state is the normal state and the time saving state, regardless of the set value. When the range of 65535 is set to the common numerical range of the time saving and the time saving is out, and the variable special figure is the second special symbol, the set value is set depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state. Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set to the common numerical range that is out of time. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the ratio at which the variable display result is out of time reduction is the same ratio for all the set values, so that the gambling property depends on the set value. Can be prevented from becoming excessively high. Furthermore, with regard to the time-saving loss, which is assigned a common number of judgment values for each set value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from the time-saving loss reference value of 65317 for all the set values, it is variablely displayed. It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination that the result is out of time reduction.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the set values that can be set are 6 from 1 to 6, but the setting values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. .. Further, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous the player may be.

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

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. When the effect control board 12 receives the power supply voltage from the power source board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the mounted movable body 32, such as control for driving the mounted movable body 32 to return to the origin position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

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

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

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitter such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a mounted movable body. Control is performed to operate various effect devices such as the drive operation of 32. Further, regarding the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control command or the like transmitted from the main board 11.

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

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the read-ahead notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, and setting for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any of the following processes of steps S170 to S175 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

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

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

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

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

The jackpot effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect processing, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to "" and end the production process during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process ends.

(Explanation of feature section 241SG)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the feature unit 241SG in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-1 to 11-40. In the following, detailed description will be omitted by adding the same reference numerals to the configurations having the same functions as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in the basic explanation or different in form and arrangement position. The points different from the pachinko gaming machine 1 explained in the basic explanation will be mainly described.

As shown in FIG. 11-1, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the feature portion 241SG, the mounted movable body 32 is formed to be slightly larger than the mounted movable body 32 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11-2, a vibration motor 61 built in the stick controller 31A is connected to the effect control board 12, and the effect control CPU 120 vibrates the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B. Is possible. Further, the button LED 62 built in the push button 31B is connected to the lamp control board 14, and the effect control CPU 120 can turn on / off the button LED 62.

FIG. 11-3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte structure, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is set to "0". The command form shown in FIG. 11-3 (A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 11-3 (A), the command 8001H is the first variable display start command for designating the start of the variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. .. The command 8002H is a second variable display start command for designating the start of variable display in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a symbol (also referred to as an effect symbol). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the content of instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data is set according to the variation pattern to be specified.

The command 8CXXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (B), it is determined whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing", "big hit", or "small hit". Different EXT data are set according to the result (pre-determined result) and the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is to be used when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result designation command indicating a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “missing”. .. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability variable big hit B" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C". The command 8C04H is the fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot". The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying the predetermined result that the variable display result is a "small hit".

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

The command 9000 (H) is an effect control command (initialization designation command: power-on designation command) transmitted when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started. The command 9200 (H) is an effect control command (power failure recovery designation command) transmitted when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is temporarily stopped and then the power supply is restarted. When the power supply to the game machine is started, the game control microcomputer 100 transmits a power failure recovery designation command if the data is stored in the backup RAM, and if not, the initialization designation. Send a command.

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

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

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

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

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

The command D100 is a customer waiting demo designation command for designating the execution of the customer waiting demo effect, and is executed when neither the first hold storage nor the second hold storage exists in the special symbol normal processing, as will be described later. It is a command transmitted by the demo display setting, and the customer waiting demo effect is executed when a predetermined period elapses after the customer waiting demo designation command is transmitted.

The commands shown in FIG. 11-3 (A) are examples, and some of these commands may not be provided, or different commands may be used in place of these commands. You may add a command different from the command in. For example, a prize ball number notification command for making it possible to specify the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of a game ball at each winning opening, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41. A passage notification command, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the probability change control or the time reduction control is executed, or the like may be provided.

FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 11-4, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, and the normal figure display result determination Numerical data indicating each of the random value MR4 for use is controlled so as to be countable. In addition, a random number value other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data indicating a part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. As will be described later, the CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit set in the RAM 102, to update various numerical data by software. Numerical data indicating a part of the random number values MR1 to MR4 may be counted.

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

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

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

FIG. 11-5 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 1 stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, the special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, individual special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

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

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

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

Further, FIG. 11-5 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table 2 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 2 is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is determined based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. The table referenced for. In the special figure display result determination table 2 in the present embodiment, regardless of whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time saving state (low probability state), or a probability change state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "small hit".

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

FIG. 11-6 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the jackpot type determination table in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" and the jackpot game state is controlled, any of a plurality of jackpot types can be selected based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type. It is a table referenced to determine the crab. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "probability variation jackpot B" and "probability variation jackpot C".

Here, the jackpot type in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11-6 (B). In the present embodiment, the jackpot type includes high-accuracy control and time-saving control after the end of the jackpot game state. "Probability change big hit A" and "Probability change big hit B" that are executed and shift to the high accuracy high base state, and high accuracy low base state where high accuracy control is executed but time saving control is not executed after the end of the big hit game state. A "probability variation jackpot C" that shifts and a "non-probability variation jackpot" that shifts to a low probability high base state by executing only the time saving control after the end of the jackpot game state are set.

The jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, the jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot B" is a normal open jackpot that is repeatedly executed five times (so-called 5 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state that is advantageous to the player. .. In addition, the jackpot game state due to the "non-probability variation jackpot" is a normally open jackpot that is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state that is advantageous to the player. .. Therefore, the "probability change jackpot A" may be referred to as a 10-round (10R) probability variation jackpot, and the "probability variation jackpot B" may be referred to as a 5-round (5R) probability variation jackpot. Further, in the big hit game by the "probability change big hit C", the round for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds), and the special in each round is executed. The opening period of the variable winning ball device 7 is shorter than other jackpot games (for example, 0.1 second), which is a high-speed opening jackpot. It should be noted that the probability variation control and the time saving control are not executed during the big hit game of any of the big hit types.

Further, although not particularly shown, the small hit game state in the present embodiment changes the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player twice, and the opening time is the same as the probability variation big hit C. It is an open period (0.1 seconds in this embodiment). After the small hit game is completed, the game state immediately before the small hit game is inherited.

That is, in the present embodiment, when it is determined to be "probability variation big hit C" or "small hit", variable display is executed with the same fluctuation pattern (PC1-1 shown in FIG. 11-7). As a result of the variable display, the chance eye is stopped and displayed, and since the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7 is the same, these variable displays and the opening pattern of the special variable winning ball device 7 are used. Since it is not possible to distinguish between the "probability change jackpot C" in which the probability variation control is executed and the "small hit" in which the previous gaming state is continued without the probability variation control being executed, the probability variation jackpot C After the big hit game or the small hit game is completed, it is possible to continue the game while expecting the player to execute the probability change control.

The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probabilistic jackpot A and the probabilistic jackpot B are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the jackpot that occurs again is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the jackpot gaming state, so that the jackpot gaming state does not go through the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state that occurs continuously.

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

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), "probability variable jackpot A" and "probability variable jackpot A" are set according to whether the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure or the second special figure. The allocation of judgment values for the jackpot types of "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C", and "non-probability variation jackpot" is different. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the determination value in the predetermined range (value in the range of "81" to "100") is "probability change jackpot B" or "probability change" with a small number of rounds. While assigned to the jackpot type of "big hit C", if the special figure that is variably displayed is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. When the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied. Therefore, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined that the jackpot type is set to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" to control the normal open jackpot state or the high-speed open jackpot state with a small number of rounds. Therefore, for example, by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, in the gaming state in which the game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of the big hit state in which the number of winning balls obtained is small. It is possible to prevent the game interest from deteriorating.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "non-probability variation" is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. Since it is the same regardless of whether it exists, the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a probabilistic jackpot are the same regardless of whether it is a special figure game of the first special figure or a second special figure. It is said that.

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

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

FIG. 11-6 shows the fluctuation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" and "reach", respectively, and is variable. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "out of reach" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "out of reach variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the missed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “off”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach is executed. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and like the super reach variation pattern, normal reach α, normal reach β, ... In this case, a plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided, and in this case, the jackpot expectation (big hit reliability) of each normal reach fluctuation pattern of normal reach α, normal reach β, ... May be different. Further, although the super reach α and the super reach β are provided as the super reach fluctuation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach fluctuation pattern may be only one type as in the normal reach fluctuation putter.

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

As shown in FIG. 11-7, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the present embodiment is set shorter than that of the super reach variation pattern. Further, among the fluctuation patterns of super reach, the fluctuation patterns of super reach β and super reach γ have a variable display period longer than the variable display period (50 seconds) of the fluctuation pattern of super reach α (60 seconds). Has been done.

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

FIG. 11-8 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a fluctuation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the game state, the display result of the variable display to be executed, and the number of reserved memories.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-8 (A), when the variable display result is a non-probability variable jackpot in the normal gaming state (low base state), the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variable display result is selected. Using the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, the fluctuation patterns are PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-3 (super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern). To decide from. Further, when the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B in the normal game state (low base state), the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is used. The pattern is determined from PB1-1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot), PB1-2 (fluctuation pattern of super reach α jackpot), and PB1-3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β jackpot).

As shown in FIG. 11-8 (A), in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A and the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table B, the number of determination values assigned to PB1-1, PB1-2, and PB1-3 is different. It's different. Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, 497 determination values are assigned to PB1-1, 300 determination values are assigned to PB1-2, and 200 determination values are assigned to PB1-3. Assigned. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern judgment table B, 250 judgment values are assigned to PB1-1, 347 judgment values are assigned to PB1-2, and 400 judgment values are assigned to PB1-3. ing. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is the probabilistic jackpot A or the probabilistic jackpot B, the fluctuation pattern of the superreach is determined at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the non-probability jackpot. In addition to being easy, the super reach β is easier to determine than the super reach α, so that it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a probability variation big hit C or a small hit, select the special hit variation pattern determination table, and use the special hit variation pattern determination table to set the variation pattern to PC1-1 (special hit variation). Pattern) is decided. That is, in the present embodiment, since the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C or the small hit, the player can perform the variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to identify whether the result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit.

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 2 or less, the deviation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern determination table A is selected. Using the out-of-reach variation pattern determination table A, the variation patterns are PA1-1 (non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-range variation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α out-of-range variation pattern), and PA2. Determined from -3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β off).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values are assigned to PA1-1, 300 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. It is assigned, and 7 judgment values are assigned to PA2-3.

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 3, the deviation pattern determination table B for deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α loss), and PA2. Determined from -3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β off).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table B, 700 determination values are assigned to PA1-2, 200 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. It is assigned, and 7 judgment values are assigned to PA2-3.

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

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table C, 800 determination values are assigned to PA1-3, 100 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. It is assigned, and 7 judgment values are assigned to PA2-3.

As described above, when the variable display result is "out of place" in the present embodiment, the special figure variable display time is normal based on the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure being 3 or 4 or the like. Since the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening fluctuation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3) shorter than the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1), it is possible to prevent the game from being delayed. However, it is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-8 (B), when the variable display result is a non-probability variation jackpot in the high base state, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected. PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-4 (super reach γ) It is determined from the fluctuation pattern of the jackpot). If the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B in the low base state, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. Determined from (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern), and PB1-4 (super reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern). ..

As shown in FIG. 11-8 (B), in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A and the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table B, the determination values for PB1-1, PB1-2, PB1-3, and PB1-4 are determined. The number of allocations is different. Specifically, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern judgment table A, 97 judgment values are assigned to PB1-1, 350 judgment values are assigned to PB1-2, and 300 judgment values are assigned to PB1-3. It is assigned, and 250 judgment values are assigned to PB1-4. On the other hand, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern judgment table B, 50 judgment values are assigned to PB1-1, 200 judgment values are assigned to PB1-2, and 347 judgment values are assigned to PB1-3. , PB1-4 are assigned 400 determination values. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the fluctuation pattern is super reach β or super reach γ at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the non-probability variation jackpot. Since the fluctuation pattern is easily determined, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is a probability variation big hit C or a small hit, select the special hit variation pattern determination table, and use the special hit variation pattern determination table to set the variation pattern to PC1-1 (special hit variation). Pattern) is decided. That is, in the present embodiment, since the variable display is executed with the same variation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is the probability variation big hit C or the small hit, the player can perform the variable display from the variation pattern. It is difficult to identify whether the result is a probabilistic big hit C or a small hit.

Further, when the variable display result is "off" in the time saving state (high base state), the deviation pattern determination table D is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PA1-4 using the deviation pattern determination table D. (Non-reach out-of-time shortening fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach out-of-time fluctuation pattern), PA2-2 (super reach α out-of-time fluctuation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach β out-of-range fluctuation pattern), and PA2 Determined from -4 (fluctuation pattern of super reach γ outlier).

Specifically, in the deviation pattern determination table D, 800 determination values are assigned to PA1-4, 100 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 80 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. Assigned, 10 determination values are assigned to PA2-3, and 7 determination values are assigned to PA2-4.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is "off" in the high base state (time reduction state), the special figure variable display time is a fluctuation of the normal non-reach deviation based on the time reduction state. Since the variable display is executed at a high rate due to the variation pattern (PA1-4) for shortening, which is shorter than the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display result is displayed next while preventing the game from being delayed. It is possible to shorten the period until it becomes a big hit. The fluctuation patterns PA2-4 and PB1-4 (super reach γ) are considered to be fluctuation patterns that can be executed only in the high base state (time saving state).

The RAM 102 in the present embodiment is provided with, for example, a game control data holding area as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control data holding area includes, for example, a first special figure holding storage unit, a second special figure holding storage unit, a normal drawing holding storage unit, a game control flag setting unit, a game control timer setting unit, and a game. It includes a control counter setting unit and a game control buffer setting unit.

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

In the second special figure reservation storage unit, the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, and a starting winning (second starting winning) occurs, but the special drawing has not been started yet. The reserved data of the figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the second starting winning opening, and satisfies the second starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, which are extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the above, are reserved data. , Store until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). The hold data stored in the second special figure hold storage unit in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display result) in this special figure game. ) Will be the pending information that makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit.

It should be noted that the hold information (first hold information) based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the game ball passing (entering) through the first start winning opening and the game ball passing (entering) through the second start winning opening. The hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start winning prize may be stored in association with the hold number in the common hold storage unit. In this case, the start port data indicating which of the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening the game ball has passed (entered) may be included in the hold information and stored in association with the hold number. ..

The normal figure hold storage unit stores the hold information of the normal figure game that has not yet been started by the normal symbol display 20 even though the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21. For example, the normal map reservation storage unit is associated with the hold numbers in the order in which the game balls pass through the passage gate 41, and is for determining the normal figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the passage of the game balls. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 of the above is set as pending data, and is stored until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”).

In the random counter of the game control counter setting unit, a random number value not generated by the random number circuit 104, for example, numerical data indicating the random number values MR2 to MR4 is stored as a random count value, and periodically according to the execution of the software by the CPU 103. Numerical data indicating each random number value is updated targetly or irregularly. The software executed by the CPU 103 to update the random count value may be for updating the random count value separately from the operation of updating the numerical data in the random number circuit 104, or may be extracted from the random number circuit 104. It may be for updating the random count value by performing a predetermined process such as scramble processing or arithmetic processing on all or a part of the numerical data.

The game control buffer setting unit is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the game control buffer setting unit stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

The RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 11-2 is provided with an effect control data holding area as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation. This effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit, an effect control timer setting unit, an effect control counter setting unit, and an effect control buffer setting unit.

In the effect control flag setting unit, there are a plurality of types that can update the state according to the effect operation state such as the display state of the effect image on the screen of the image display device 5 and the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11. A flag is provided. For example, the effect control flag setting unit stores data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the on state or the off state for each of the plurality of types of flags.

In the present embodiment, the buffer number 1-0 corresponding to the variable display during execution by the hold storage of the first special figure, and the buffer numbers 1-1 to 1 to the buffer numbers 1 to 4 corresponding to the hold storage 1 to 4 of the first special figure. -4, buffer number 2-0 corresponding to variable display during execution by hold storage of the second special figure, buffer number 2-1 to buffer number 2-4 corresponding to hold storage 1 to 4 of the second special figure The data that composes the start prize reception command buffer, in which entries that can store data such as the start opening prize specification command, the symbol specification command, the variable category command, and the hold storage number notification command, are set in association with each of them, It is stored in a predetermined area of the effect control buffer setting unit. When there is a start prize to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command), the symbol designation command, and the variable category designation A set of four commands, a command and a hold storage number notification command (first hold storage number notification command or second hold storage number notification command), is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. Then, the four commands of the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category designation command, and the hold storage number notification command that constitute these one set are the buffer numbers corresponding to the start opening prize designation command and the hold storage number notification command. Stored in the entry of.

The storage contents of the storage area (entry) corresponding to the buffer numbers 1 to 0 to the buffer numbers 1-4 corresponding to the first special figure are the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1"" when the start condition is satisfied. ) Is started, as will be described later, the contents are shifted upward one by one, and the stored contents of the buffer number "1-0" for storing the contents of the reserved storage for which the start condition is satisfied are stored. , It is cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the variable display is finished. Similarly, the stored contents of the storage area (entry) corresponding to the buffer numbers 2 to 0 to the buffer numbers 1-4 corresponding to the second special figure are the highest held storage (buffer number "2" when the start condition is satisfied. When the variable display of -1 ") is started, it is shifted upward one by one as described later, and the buffer number" 2-0 "that stores the contents of the hold storage for which the start condition is satisfied is stored. The stored contents are cleared in the special figure hit waiting process executed when the variable display is terminated.

The effect control CPU 120 receives a command at the time of starting winning to the first starting winning opening. At the time of winning winning, the head of the empty entry among the buffer numbers 1-1 to 1-4 of the buffer number 1-1 (the youngest buffer number). It is stored from the entry), and at the time of the start winning to the second start winning opening, it is stored from the beginning (the entry with the lowest buffer number) in the empty entry of the buffer numbers 2-1 to 2-4. .. At the time of the start winning, the start opening prize designation command to the hold storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, the start opening prize designation command is placed in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage or the second special figure hold storage. , The symbol specification command, the variable category specification command, and the hold storage number notification command are stored in this order.

The command stored in the command buffer received at the time of starting winning is the entry corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display that ended immediately before each time the variable display of the decorative symbol is started (buffer number "1-0" or "2-". What is stored in the entry of "0") is deleted, and is stored in the entry corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display to be started (the entry corresponding to the buffer number "1-1" or "2-1"). The stored contents of the entries after the hold storage of the variable display to be started are shifted. For example, when the variable display of the decorative symbol of the first special figure hold storage is completed, each command stored in the buffer number "1-0" is deleted and stored in the buffer number "1-1". Each command is shifted to the buffer number "1-0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "1-2" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1-1". Each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "1-3" and "1-4" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "1-2" and "1-3". Will be done. Therefore, the buffer number "0" is an area (entry) for storing each command related to the hold storage that is variably displayed at that time.

(Direction during Super Reach)
Here, the production during super reach will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-9. FIG. 11-9 is a diagram showing an execution period of various effects in normal reach and super reach.

As shown in FIG. 11-9, in the variable display of the decorative symbol based on the normal reach fluctuation pattern or the super reach fluctuation pattern, the effect control CPU 120 sets the variable display mode to the normal reach display mode after starting the variable display. Based on this, a normal reach effect is performed as a variable display effect. In the super reach fluctuation pattern, after executing the normal reach effect, the super reach effect (weak super reach effect or strong super reach effect) is performed as the variable display effect based on the variable display mode being set to the super reach display mode. After the reach effect is finished, the variable display of the decorative pattern is finished.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 has a possibility that the variable display result will be a big hit in the normal reach effect in the normal reach variation pattern or the super reach variation pattern (super reach α, β, γ) as an effect different from the variable display effect (expected). It is possible to execute the advance notice effect A or the advance notice effect B for notifying the degree). Further, in the normal reach effect in the super reach variation pattern, it is possible to execute the development effect A that notifies that the weak super reach effect is developed (contents that are advantageous for the player).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 notifies that the weak super reach effect in the super reach variation pattern (super reach α, β, γ) develops into a strong super reach effect (contents advantageous for the player). It is possible to execute a development suggestion effect that suggests the possibility that is executed, and in a weak super reach effect in a super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach β, γ), it develops into a strong super reach effect (advantageous for the player). It is possible to execute the development effect B that notifies the content).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a determined effect for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit or a miss in the strong super reach effect in the super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach β, γ). ..

In this way, in the fluctuation pattern of normal reach deviation, the normal reach production does not develop into a weak super reach production and becomes a big hit or miss, and in the super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach α, β, γ), the weak super reach production in the normal reach production. In the super reach fluctuation pattern (super reach β, γ), it develops into a strong super reach production in a weak super reach production.

In other words, super reach α is a weak super reach with higher expectations than normal reach, and super reach β and γ are strong super reach with higher expectations than weak super reach (big hit expectation; normal reach <super reach). α <super reach β <super reach γ).

Further, in the normal reach and the super reach α, β, and γ, different types of normal reach effects and super reach effects may be executed, and common or at least partially similar types of super reach effects may be executed. It may be executed. Further, the type of super reach is not limited to the above three types, and may be one type, two types, or four or more types.

In the feature unit 241SG, in the above-mentioned advance notice effect A and advance notice effect B, development effect A, B, development suggestion effect, and decision effect, the mounted movable body 32 which is a structure is moved, and the first pseudo movable body display described later is performed. And the second pseudo-movable body display can be moved and displayed. Therefore, before explaining the specific contents of each effect, the mounted movable body 32, the first pseudo-movable body display, and the second pseudo-movable body display will be described.

(Flow of development of pachinko game machines)
First, in order to understand the background of mounting the mounted movable body 32, the first pseudo-movable body display, the second pseudo-movable body display, and the like as described above on the pachinko gaming machine 1, the development of the pachinko gaming machine 1 The outline of the flow of the above will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-12. FIG. 11-12 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the flow of development of the pachinko gaming machine.

As shown in FIG. 11-12, when the development of a predetermined pachinko gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like) starts, it is first clarified what to convey to the game store and the player and what to feel. Create a plan document, etc. (step 241SGS001). Specifically, the game content, highlights, specifications, game flow, reach and other production configurations, board configurations, movable bodies (structures), etc. of the model will be examined.

Next, based on the proposal, a prototype (primary prototype, design mock) of the board (game board), images and materials that can image variable display, etc., a specification confirmation table, etc. are created (step 241SGS002). At the stage of creating this prototype, for example, it was planned to mount multiple movable bodies, but the reason why multiple movable bodies cannot be mounted (for example, lack of space such as interference with other movable bodies, cost, etc. Durability) and other problems may occur.

Next, an image such as a variable display or an effect is created (step 241SGS003). Here, regarding the production video, based on the design and operation of the movable body that could not be mounted due to the problem in step 241SGS002, a pseudo movable body display video that imitates the non-mounted movable body is created. .. Since the movement display in the pseudo-movable body display is inferior in impact to the case where the non-mounted movable body is moved, for example, the recoil display operation and the speed of the movement display when the movement display is stopped are performed. It is often deformed (exaggerated or highlighted).

Then, a prototype (secondary prototype) of the board surface (game board) including images such as variable display and production is created, and the variable display, core production, movement of the movable body, etc. are confirmed (step 241SGS004). If there is no problem, a mold product or the like for the board surface (game board) is created (step 241SGS005).

In this way, by mounting a plurality of movable bodies capable of providing an impactful effect to the player, the effect of the effect can be further enhanced and the effect can be diversified. It is often difficult to install more than one. Therefore, based on the design and operation of the movable body that could not be mounted, the moving display of the pseudo movable body display that imitates the non-mounted movable body is often used.

Hereinafter, the pachinko game machine 1 as the feature unit 241SG was planned to be equipped with a plurality of movable bodies at the development stage, but due to the various problems described above, one movable body ( For example, the mounting of the mounted movable body 32) was decided, and the mounting of other movable bodies (for example, the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200) was not decided and was not mounted. Instead of the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200, the moving display of the first pseudo-movable body display that imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 are imitated. It will be described as assuming that the moving display of the second pseudo movable body display and the moving display are adopted.

In the above description, the pseudo-movable body display exemplifies a form adopted as a substitute for the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200, which are finally not mounted. It is not limited, and although it was possible to mount a movable body, a pseudo movable body display may be used in order to diversify the production. It is also possible to use a pseudo-movable body display that imitates a movable body that is not planned to be mounted at the development stage (for example, a virtual movable body or a movable body that is mounted or will be mounted on another model).

(Mounted movable body 32)
Hereinafter, the mounted movable body 32 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-13. 11-13 are views showing a moving mode of the mounted movable body, and FIG. 11-13 is a diagram for explaining a situation in which the mounted movable body is lifted.

As shown in FIG. 11-13 (A), the mounted movable body 32 is composed of an effect unit 32A formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in front view and decorated on the front surface, and a mechanism unit 32B, from the effect unit 32A.

The mounted movable body 32 is inserted (guided) into the rotating shafts 205L and 205R so as to be movable in the vertical direction at the left and right ends (guided portions) of the mechanical portion 32B, and is locked to the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R. By doing so, it is held at the origin position. When the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R are turned on and the locked state is released while being held at the origin position, the mounted movable body 32 is dropped from the origin position by its own weight, and the left and right ends of the mechanism unit 32B. Comes into contact with the moving bodies 206L and 206R and is restricted from moving downward so that the moving body stops at the effect position.

Further, while spiral groove portions 205A are formed on the outer periphery of the rotating shafts 205L and 205R, the moving bodies 206L and 206R have locking portions (not shown) that can be locked to the groove portions 205A on the inner peripheral surface. Since it is formed and the rotation around the rotation shafts 205L and 205R is regulated, the rotation shafts 205L and 205R can be moved in the vertical direction by rotating the rotation shafts 205L and 205R in the forward and reverse directions by the mounted movable body motors 202L and 202R. It is said that. Therefore, the mounted movable body 32 can be dropped from the origin position to the effect position by its own weight, and after the fall, the rotating shaft 205L is driven by the mounted movable body motors 202L and 202R as shown in FIG. 11-13 (B). , 205R is rotated to raise the moving bodies 206L and 206R, so that the moving bodies 206L and 206R are raised from the effect position to the origin position, and are held at the origin position by the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R.

(1st pseudo movable display and 1st non-mounted movable body)
Next, the first pseudo movable display and the first non-mounted movable body will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-14. 11-14 is a diagram showing a movement display mode of the first pseudo-movable body display, and FIG. 11-14 is a diagram showing a movement mode of the first non-mounted movable body.

When the movable body solenoid M107 is turned on and the locked state is released while being held at the first origin position, the first non-mounted movable body M100 is dropped from the first origin position by its own weight, and the mechanism unit M100B The left and right ends of the solenoid come into contact with the moving body M106 to restrict downward movement, so that the vehicle stops at the first effect position.

Further, while a spiral groove portion M105A is formed on the outer periphery of the rotation shaft M105, the moving body M106 has a locking portion (not shown) that can be locked to the groove portion M105A on the inner peripheral surface. Since the rotation around the rotation shaft M105 is restricted, the movable body motor M102 rotates the rotation shaft M105 in the forward and reverse directions so that the rotation shaft M105 can be moved in the vertical direction. Therefore, the first non-mounted movable body M100 can be dropped from the first origin position to the first effect position by its own weight, and after the first non-mounted movable body M100 is dropped, the rotating shaft M105 is rotated by the movable body motor M102 to move the moving body M106. By raising it, it rises from the first effect position to the first specific origin position, and is held at the first origin position by the movable body solenoid M107.

As shown in FIG. 11-14 (A), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is an image imitating the first non-mounted movable body M100, and is an effect display unit Z100A corresponding to the effect unit M100A and a mechanism unit. It has a mechanism display unit Z100B corresponding to the M100B and a light emitting display unit Z108A corresponding to the light emitting unit M108A. Then, it is possible to move and display in the vertical direction between the first initial display position corresponding to the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to the first effect position (see FIG. 11-16 (B)). ), The first initial display position corresponding to a position different from the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to a position different from the first effect position can be moved and displayed in the vertical direction (FIG.). 11-17 (A)). Further, the effect unit M100A has the effect movable display units Z110A to Z110D corresponding to the effect movable units M110A to M110D, and has a first effect display state corresponding to the first effect state and a second effect display state corresponding to the second effect state.

Further, while a spiral groove portion M215A is formed on the outer periphery of the rotation shaft M215, the mechanical portion M200B extending upward from the effect portion M200A is locked on the inner peripheral surface so as to be able to be locked to the groove portion M215A. A portion (not shown) is formed, and rotation around the rotation shaft M215 is regulated.

Therefore, the second non-mounted movable body M200 driven by the second drive mechanism M201B rotates the rotation shaft M215 in the forward and reverse directions by the movable body motor M212, so that the second specific origin position on the left side (FIG. 11-15 (C)) ) Is movable in the left-right direction between the origin position indicated by the two-point chain line) and the second specific effect position on the right side (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 11-15 (C)), and the second specific origin. It is possible to stop at the second intermediate effect position, which is intermediate between the position and the second specific effect position.

As shown in FIG. 11-15 (A), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is an image imitating the second non-mounted movable body M200, and is an effect display unit Z200A corresponding to the effect unit M200A and a mechanism unit. It has a mechanism display unit Z200B corresponding to the M200B, a rotation display unit Z207 corresponding to the rotation unit M207, and light emission display units Z208A to Z208E corresponding to the light emitting units M208A to M208E.

At the beginning of development, it was planned to install a full-color LED as a non-mounted movable LED (not shown), but due to cost reasons, it may be necessary to install a single-color LED, but the second pseudo-movable display Z200 Therefore, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E can be light-emittingly displayed in a plurality of colors (for example, 7 colors) without considering the cost aspect.

Then, it is possible to move and display in the vertical direction between the first specific initial display position corresponding to the first specific origin position and the first specific effect display position corresponding to the first specific effect position (FIGS. 11-16). (See (C)), the second specific initial display position corresponding to the second specific origin position and the second specific effect display position corresponding to the second specific effect position can be moved and displayed in the left-right direction (FIG.). 11-17 (B)).

Next, the movement mode of the mounted movable body 32 and the movement display mode of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-16 and 11-17. 11-16 shows the movable range of the non-mounted movable body, (B) the moving display area of the first pseudo-movable body display, and (C) the moving display area of the second pseudo-movable body display. It is a figure. 11-17 is a diagram showing a specific movement display area of the first pseudo-movable body display and FIG. 11-17 showing a specific movement display area of the second pseudo-movable body display.

As shown in FIG. 11-16 (A), the mounted movable body 32 has an origin position where the lower part of the effect unit 32A overlaps at the upper part of the display area of the image display device 5 and an abbreviation of the display area of the image display device 5. It is possible to move in the vertical direction between the effect position where the effect unit 32A and the mechanism unit 32B overlap at the center, and the movement distance from the origin position to the effect position is L1.

As shown in FIG. 11-16 (B), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 includes a first initial display position in which the lower part of the effect display unit Z100A is displayed at the upper position of the display area of the image display device 5. The first initial display can be moved and displayed in the vertical direction between the first effect display position where the effect display unit Z100A and the mechanism display unit Z100B are displayed at a position substantially lower in the center of the display area of the image display device 5. The moving display distance from the position to the first effect display position is L2.

As shown in FIG. 11-17 (A), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is a first specific initial display position in which the upper part of the effect display unit Z100A is displayed at the lower position of the display area of the image display device 5. , The first specific effect display position where the effect display unit Z100A and the mechanism display unit Z100B are displayed at a position substantially above the center of the display area of the image display device 5 can be moved and displayed in the vertical direction. The specific movement display distance from the specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position is L2A.

As described above, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 has the first initial display position corresponding to the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to the first effect position, similarly to the first non-mounted movable body M100. Not only can the movable range between them be moved and displayed in the vertical direction, but also a specific movement between the second initial display position that does not correspond to the first origin position and the second effect display position that does not correspond to the first effect position is possible. The range can be moved and displayed in the vertical direction.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-16 (C), in the second pseudo movable body display Z200, the lower part of the effect display unit Z200A is displayed at the upper position of the display area of the image display device 5, and the first specific initial stage is displayed. It is possible to move and display in the vertical direction between the display position and the first specific effect display position where the effect display unit Z200A and the mechanism display unit Z200B are displayed at a substantially central position of the display area of the image display device 5. The moving display distance from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position is L3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-17 (B), in the second pseudo movable body display Z200, the right part of the effect display unit Z200A is displayed at the left part position of the display area of the image display device 5. It is possible to move and display in the left-right direction between the initial display position and the second specific effect display position where the effect display unit Z200A and the mechanism display unit Z200B are displayed at a substantially central position of the display area of the image display device 5. , The moving display distance from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position is L3A.

In this way, the second pseudo movable body display Z200, like the second non-mounted movable body M200, has a first specific initial display position corresponding to the first specific origin position and a first specific effect corresponding to the first specific effect position. Not only is it possible to move and display the movable range between the display position in the vertical direction, but also the second specific initial display position that does not correspond to the first specific origin position and the second specific effect display that does not correspond to the first specific effect position. The specific movable range between the position and the position can be moved and displayed in the left-right direction.

Further, the moving display distance L2 of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is longer than the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32, and the moving display distance L3 of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32. Shorter than (L2> L1> L3). Further, the moving display distance L2A of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is longer than the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32, and the moving display distance L3A of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is the moving distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32. And the movement display distance is longer than L2A (L3A> L2A> L1).

In this way, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can move and display a movement display distance (L2, L2A, L3A) longer than the movement distance L1 of the mounted movable body 32. Therefore, it is possible to realize an effect that has more impact than the mounted movable body 32.

As shown in FIGS. 11-16, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are composed of the effect display units Z100A and Z200A and the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B, and the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B. Is extended to the edge of the display area of the image display device 5, and is produced by the drive mechanism M101, the first drive mechanism M201A, and the second drive mechanism M201B arranged on the side of the image display device 5. Since the display units Z100A and Z200A appear to be supported, it is possible to express the moving display more realistically.

That is, the pseudo-movable body display (pseudo-movable body image) refers to a movable body as a structure that can be operated by a drive mechanism, such as a movable body mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, a non-mounted movable body, and a virtual movable body. This is a simulated display, and is different from an image that does not have a mechanism display unit, such as the development notification image Z300 (see FIG. 11-25 (H)).

In addition, a display in which a part of the display mode is different from that of the modeled movable body, a display in a mode that cannot be realized by the modeled movable body (for example, a deformed display or a deformed display) or a moving display (for example, a high-speed moving display, etc.) ) Is possible.

Further, the pseudo-movable body display (pseudo-movable body image) may be an image or a moving image created by a computer or the like, or may be an image or a moving image of a movable body as an actually created structure. There may be. Furthermore, when moving the pseudo-movable body display, the sound effect output when the movable body is moved or the same or similar sound effect as the impact sound generated when the movable body is stopped can be output, or the pseudo-movable body display can be displayed as an effect. When the position is reached, the vibration motor 61 vibrates the push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc., or outputs deep bass from the speakers 8L, 8R to generate a pseudo impact, which is more realistic. It becomes possible to provide the production to the player.

Next, details of various effects using the mounted movable body 32, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-10. FIG. 11-10 is a diagram for explaining the contents and configurations of various effects in Super Reach.

(Notice production A)
As shown in FIG. 11-10, the advance notice effect A can be executed when the base state is low, and the first specific effect is displayed after the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific initial display position. It is suggested that the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E may become a big hit (expected degree) by displaying the light emission in the color corresponding to the determined effect pattern after the movement is displayed at the display position.

Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position is erased after being moved and displayed from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position. (See FIGS. 11-25 (C) to (F)).

Specifically, when the pattern PYA-1 is determined in the advance notice effect A type determination process of step 241SGS278A described later, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in white, and when the pattern PYA-2 is determined, light is emitted. The display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in blue, and when the pattern PYA-3 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in green, and when the pattern PYA-4 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed. Displayed in red. Therefore, the emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E having the highest expectation of big hit is red. The emission color can be changed in various ways, and if the jackpot is confirmed, the emission color may be changed to gold, rainbow, or the like.

(Notice production B)
The notice effect B can be executed when the base is in a high base state, and the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position or from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. The variable display result is a big hit depending on whether the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position. It is suggested that there is a possibility (expectation).

Further, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 that has been moved and displayed at the first effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the first effect display position to the first initial display position (FIG. 11-34 (A)). ~ (C)). Further, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 that has been moved and displayed at the second effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the second effect display position to the second initial display position (FIG. 11-34 (D)). ~ (F)).

Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the second intermediate effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the second intermediate effect display position to the second specific initial display position (FIGS. 11-33). (A)-(C)). Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the second specific effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the second specific effect display position to the second specific initial display position (FIGS. 11-33). (D)-(F)).

Specifically, when the pattern PYB-1 is determined in the advance notice effect B type determination process of step 241SGS278A described later, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 moves from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position. When the pattern PYB-2 is displayed and the pattern PYB-2 is determined, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position, and when the pattern PYB-3 is determined, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed. 1 Pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and when the pattern PYB-4 is determined, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the second initial display position to the second effect. It is moved to the display position and displayed. Therefore, the movement display pattern in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed has a higher jackpot expectation than the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved, and the movement display pattern having the highest jackpot expectation is the first. The pseudo movable body display Z100 is a pattern in which the pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the second initial display position to the second effect display position.

Further, when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position or from the second initial display position to the second effect display position, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is second. It is faster than moving and displaying from the specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position.

(Development production A)
In the development effect A, the on-board movable body 32 moves (falls) from the origin position to the effect position, so that the development to a weak super reach is notified (see FIG. 11-25 (H)). The mounted movable body 32 that has been moved from the origin position to the effect position rises from the effect position to the origin position and returns after a predetermined time has elapsed.

More specifically, when the execution is decided in the development effect A type determination process of step 241SGS278B described later, the mounted movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the effect position at the effect start timing, and thus develops into a weak super reach. Is notified (see FIG. 11-25 (H)). On the other hand, when non-execution is determined, the mounted movable body 32 does not fall from the origin position at the production start timing, and the development notification image Z300 is displayed on the image display device 5, so that the development to weak super reach is notified. (See FIG. 11-25 (G)). That is, when the non-execution is determined in the development effect A type determination process, the effect pattern for notifying the development to the weak super reach is determined by displaying the development notification image Z300 without dropping the mounted movable body 32. Is.

The development notification image Z300 is an image (display) that imitates the mounted movable body 32, but like the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, it is the same as the movable body. Unlike the pseudo movable body display that is moved and displayed, it is an image (display) that imitates only the effect unit 32A, and is displayed in a display mode different from the movement of the mounted movable body 32. For example, at the effect start timing, the display is displayed at the effect display position corresponding to the effect position of the mounted movable body 32 from the beginning without accompanying the movement display.

(Development suggestion production)
The development suggestion effect can be executed before the development effect B is executed, and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed in the first specific initial display position and then moved to the first specific effect display position. After that, light is emitted based on the fact that the repeated hitting operation is detected during the operation valid period during which the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B (the operation in which the detection signal of the push sensor 35B is detected multiple times within a predetermined period) is valid. By changing the display units Z208A to Z208E to the emission display color corresponding to the determined effect pattern, it is suggested that the display color of the character image Z310 described later, that is, the development effect B may be executed.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, an operation promotion image (for example, an image imitating the push button 31B) that promotes the repeated hitting operation of the push button 31B during the operation valid period in which the repeated hitting operation of the push button 31B in the development suggestion effect is effective). Is not displayed on the image display device 5, and the button LED 62 (see FIG. 11-2) built in the push button 31B is turned on to promote the continuous striking operation of the push button 31B. The image display device 5 may display an operation promotion display that promotes the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B during the operation valid period.

Further, in the second pseudo movable body display Z200 which is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the character image Z310 related to the model is first specified in the display area of the image display device 5. After being displayed so as to overlap (act) on the second pseudo movable body display Z200 in the area including the effect display position, it is erased without being moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position. (See FIGS. 11-26 (A) to (J) and FIGS. 11-27 (A)).

Specifically, when the pattern PS-1 is determined in the development suggestion effect type determination process of step 241SGS278B described later, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E remain white even when the push button 31B is repeatedly pressed, and do not change. When the pattern PS-2 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E change in the order of white → blue according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, and when the pattern PS-3 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E Changes in the order of white → blue → green according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, and when the pattern PS-4 is determined, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E change from white → blue → according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B. It changes in the order of green → red. Therefore, the final emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E having the highest execution expectation of the development effect B is red.

The emission color and the change pattern of the emission color can also be changed in various ways. For example, the emission color may change from white to red without changing to blue or green, or may be a emission display color other than white from the beginning. .. In addition, the number of lights of the plurality of light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E is increased according to the repeated pressing operation of the push button 31B, so that the higher the number of lights is, the higher the expectation of execution of the development effect B is higher than when the number of lights is small. You may. Further, the degree of expectation may be different depending on the emission color and the number of emissions.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, when the continuous striking operation of the push button 31B is not detected during the operation valid period, or when the continuous striking operation amount is small, even if any of the patterns PS-2 to 4 is determined, the continuous striking operation amount is used. Illustrated a form in which the emission display color does not change according to each pattern PS-2 to 4, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the repeated hitting operation of the push button 31B is not detected during the operation valid period. Alternatively, even when the amount of repeated hitting operations is small, the emission display color may be changed according to the determined patterns PS-2 to 4 at the timing when the operation valid period ends.

Further, as the character image Z310 displayed after the operation valid period ends, the character image Z310 having a color corresponding to the light emission display color of the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E when the operation valid period ends is displayed. There is.

It should be noted that the character images Z310 of different types may be displayed according to the light emission display colors of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E when the operation valid period ends. Further, even if the emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E does not change even though any of the patterns PS-2 to 4 is determined as described above, the determined patterns PS-2 to 4 are not changed. Character images Z310 (colors different from the light emission display colors of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E) may be displayed according to the colors corresponding to the above. Further, the emission display color of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E may be changed to the same color as the character image Z310 at the timing when the character image Z310 is displayed.

(Development production B)
In the development effect B, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 moves and displays from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, thereby developing into a strong super reach effect and executing the determined effect (game). (Contents that are advantageous to the person) are notified (see FIG. 11-27 (D)). Further, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position is erased without being moved and displayed from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position (FIG. 11-27 (FIG. 11-27). D)-(F)).

Further, when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is erased without moving from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position, the reach title is set in the display area including the first specific effect display position. By displaying the image Z51 so as to overlap the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 in an manner indicating that it is the time when the display of the image is started, the variable display result becomes a big hit (controlled to the big hit gaming state). ) Is suggested.

Specifically, when execution is determined in the development effect B type determination process of step 241SGS280, which will be described later, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 changes from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position at the effect start timing. By displaying the movement, the development to strong super reach is notified (see FIG. 11-27 (D)). On the other hand, when non-execution is determined, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is not moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position at the effect start timing, and the reach title image Z51 is displayed on the image display device 5. Is displayed in the ready state mode to inform the development of strong super reach (see FIG. 11-27 (C)). That is, the fact that non-execution is determined by the development effect B type determination process means that the reach title image Z51 is displayed in the prepared state without moving the second pseudo movable body display Z200, so that the strong super reach is achieved. It is to determine the production pattern that informs the development of.

(Decisive production)
The deciding effect is to settle the battle confrontation between the ally character and the enemy character, which was executed in the super reach effect, and notify whether or not it is controlled to the jackpot game state. Specifically, for example, after displaying that the ally character gives the final blow to the enemy character, the operation promotion display of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is performed to the player, and the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is displayed. By moving the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position at the timing when the operation of is detected, or at the timing when the operation valid period ends without detecting the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A, the enemy character Either the jackpot confirmation notification that defeats and wins the battle, or the loss confirmation notification that the mounted movable body 32 is defeated by the enemy character without being moved from the origin position to the production position and is defeated in the battle is performed.

Patterns KB-1 and KV-1 are selected when the variable display result is out of order, and the pattern KB-2, which is a pattern in which a ally character is defeated by an enemy character and is defeated in a battle is notified. KV-2 is selected when the variable display result is a big hit, and is a pattern in which a big hit confirmation notification is performed in which a ally character defeats an enemy character and wins a battle.

Further, in the patterns KB-2 and KV-2, the timing when the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is detected, or the timing when the operation valid period ends without detecting the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A. Then, the vibration motor 61 is driven for a predetermined period (for example, about 10 seconds) to vibrate the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A.

Further, when the execution of the pattern KB-2 or KV-2 is determined in the determination effect type determination process of step 241SGS282 described later, the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position at the fall timing of the mounted movable body 32. After moving to and returning to the origin position from the effect position, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position to change the decorative pattern. The display resumes. Then, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first effect display position to the first initial display position, and the variable display of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, so that the variable display result becomes a big hit (FIG. 11). -29 (E)-(G), see FIGS. 11-30 (A)-(F)).

On the other hand, when the execution of the pattern KB-1 or KV-1 is decided, the mounted movable body 32 does not move from the origin position at the fall timing of the mounted movable body 32, and the effect image Z57 in which the glass is cracked is displayed. The loss confirmation notification is performed, and the variable display result is lost (see FIGS. 11-29 (H) to (J)).

Next, about the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 in the super reach β and γ (strong super reach) and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200, the jackpot expectation degree according to the execution status. , 11-11 will be described. FIG. 11-11 is a diagram showing the degree of expectation of a big hit for each execution status of the development effect A and the development effect B.

As shown in FIGS. 11-11, the pattern A is a pattern in which both the development effect A and the development effect B are not executed during the variable display period of the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β and γ (strong super reach). Yes, pattern B is a pattern in which development effect A is non-executed and development effect B is execution, pattern C is a pattern in which development effect A is executed and development effect B is non-execution, and pattern D is. This is a pattern in which both the development effect A and the development effect B are executed.

In the above, the jackpot expectation is set so as to increase in the order of pattern A <pattern B <pattern C <pattern D. That is, in the variable display period of the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β or the super reach γ, the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200 are executed. In time, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state (big hit expectation) is higher than when the development effect A is not executed and the development effect B is executed. Further, the ratio at which the development effect A and the development effect B are executed is controlled to the jackpot game state more than when the development effect A is executed without the development effect B being executed (big hit expectation). Is high. Further, when the development effect A and the development effect B are executed, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state (big hit expectation degree) is higher than when the development effect A and the development effect B are not executed.

FIG. 11-18 is a flowchart showing a variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is on (step 241SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is in the ON state (step 241SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command receive command buffer are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 241SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-2" of the first special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-1". 1 Special figure The first special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-3".

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off in step 241SGS271 (step 241SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 241SGS273). When the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 241SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is finished, and when the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 241SGS273; Y). ), Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 109SG194A, one buffer number. It shifts upward by the minute (step 241SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-1" of the second special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-2" of the second special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-1". 2 Special figure The second special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-3".

After executing step 241SGS272 or step 241SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 241SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 241SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol according to the display result specified by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. To do.

Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B, a plurality of combinations of odd numbers other than "7" (for example, "111") are used as stop symbols. It is determined from the combination of decorative patterns such as "333", "555", and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot C, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the small hit. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probability change jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, a decorative symbol in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as the stop symbol. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the sixth variable display result specification command corresponding to a small hit, the stop symbol is "334" or "778", which is the same chance as the probability variation big hit C. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the deviation, it is a decorative symbol in which the three symbols are not uniform as the stop symbol, and a combination other than the above-mentioned chance eyes. (Out of design) is decided.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a stop symbol determination table in which random numbers for determining stop symbols are extracted and data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the fluctuation pattern in the variable display is a normal reach fluctuation pattern or a super reach fluctuation pattern (step 241SGS277), and when it is a normal reach fluctuation pattern or a superreach fluctuation pattern (step 241SGS277).

It may be decided to execute a notice effect such as a character notice effect, a step-up notice in which the notice image changes stepwise, and a group notice in which a group of predetermined characters crosses the display area. In the case of determining, since the timing for starting the advance notice effect differs depending on the mode of the advance notice effect, a different period may be set according to the mode of the advance notice effect in the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect, which will be described later.

Returning to FIG. 11-18, in step 241SGS283, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) according to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 241SGS284).

In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R are controlled.

Control of the device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L, 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 241SGS285). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control the lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (phone number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

In the feature unit 241SG, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern designation command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the specified command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 241SGS286). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 241SGS287). The predetermined time is, for example, 33 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the variable display image data including the image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols to the VRAM each time the predetermined time elapses. The display control unit 123 outputs a signal corresponding to the image data written in the VRAM to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal. As a result, variable display of decorative patterns and display of moving images of other effects are realized.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the value of the effect control process flag to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and ends the variable display start setting process (step 241SGS288).

Next, an example of the effect of Super Reach β will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-25 to 11-31. 11-25 are diagrams in which FIGS. 11-25 show an example of the production operation of the super reach β mainly in the normal reach. 11-26 are diagrams in which (A) to (J) show an example of a directing operation mainly in a weak super reach. 11-27 is a diagram showing an example of the effect operation in the same weak super reach in FIGS. 11-27. 11-28 are diagrams (A) to (D) showing an example of a directing operation mainly in a strong super reach. 11-29 is a diagram showing an example of a production operation of a strong super reach effect in FIGS. 11-29. 11-30 are diagrams (A) to (F) showing an example of the effect operation after the big hit confirmation notification. 11-31 are diagrams (A) to (D) showing details of the moving display of the first pseudo-movable body display. FIG. 11-32 is a diagram showing the relationship between the light emitting display unit and the mounted movable body LED.

Hereinafter, various production operation examples in the variable display period based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β will be described.

As shown in FIG. 11-25 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in a variable manner based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β based on the occurrence of the start winning prize. To start. Further, in the upper left of the display area of the image display device 5, the first reserved storage number (for example, the number "2"), the second reserved storage number (for example, the number "0"), and the small corresponding to the decorative symbol are displayed. A display area 5SL for displaying a symbol (for example, the arrow “↓↓↓”) is provided, and a small symbol is variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of the decorative symbol.

Regarding the first reserved storage number, the second reserved storage number, the small symbol, and the error display (not shown) indicating the error state that has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo Since it is displayed on the front side (upper layer) of the movable body display Z200, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are duplicated, and the first reserved storage number, the second reserved storage number, and the small number are duplicated. While it is possible to prevent the visibility of the symbol and the error display from being lowered, the decorative symbol is displayed on the back side (lower layer) of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. Therefore, it is prevented that the decorative symbols overlap and the visibility of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is lowered.

After starting the variable display, when the variable display mode is set to the normal reach display mode as shown in FIG. 11-25 (B), the normal reach effect as the variable display effect of the decorative symbol is started.

As shown in FIG. 11-25 (C), the effect control CPU 120 displays the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 at the first specific initial display position at the start timing of the advance notice effect A in which a predetermined time has elapsed from the normal reach display mode. After displaying in, it is moved to the first specific effect display position (see FIG. 11-25 (D)), and as shown in FIG. 11-25 (E), it is determined by the advance notice effect type determination process of step 241SGS278A. By displaying the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E with the display color corresponding to the pattern (any of PYA-1 to 4), the advance notice effect A suggesting that the jackpot game state is controlled is executed. Further, an effect image Z60 for emphasizing the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the first specific effect display position.

The effect image Z60 is displayed in a mode corresponding to the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E. For example, when the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in white based on the pattern PYA-1, the effect image Z60 is white and the display size is small, and the emission display units Z208A to Z208A based on the pattern PYA-4. When the emission display color of the Z208E is emitted in red, it is preferable that the effect image Z60 is red and the display size is increased according to the degree of expectation.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (F), the effect image Z60 is erased, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position, and then the second is displayed. By erasing the pseudo movable body display Z200, the advance notice effect A ends. After that, the decorative symbol is reduced and displayed in the display area 5SR provided on the upper right of the display area of the image display device 5 in a manner slightly larger than the small symbol.

Then, when the non-execution of the development effect A is determined in the development effect A type determination process of step 241SGS278B, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (G), the mounted movable body is at the start timing of the development effect A. While holding the development notification image Z300 at the origin position without dropping the 32, the development notification image Z300 is displayed and the effect image Z61A is displayed around the development notification image Z61A to notify that the development to a weak super reach effect is developed. When the execution of the development effect A is determined, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (H), the mounted movable body solenoids 207L and 207R are turned on at the start timing of the development effect A, and the mounted movable body is turned on. The 32 is dropped from the origin position to the effect position, and an effect image Z61B different from the effect image Z61A for emphasizing the mounted movable body 32 is displayed around the effect image Z61B to notify that the effect image Z61B is developed into a weak super reach effect.

In the feature unit 241SG, when the on-board movable body 32 is dropped as the development effect A, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is higher than when the on-board movable body 32 is not executed. Even if it is determined that the non-execution of (falling) is not performed, it is possible to notify that the development notification image Z300 will develop into a weak super reach effect by displaying the development notification image Z300.

As shown in FIG. 11-26 (A), the effect control CPU 120 starts a weak super reach effect by displaying a character image Z310 or the like after the execution period of the development effect A ends, and also starts a second pseudo. After displaying the movable body display Z200 at the first specific initial display position, the movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed at the first specific effect display position, and the development suggestion effect is started (see FIGS. 11-26 (B)). At this time, a part of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed so as to overlap the front side of the character image Z310.

Further, as a development suggestion effect, when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in white and the button LED 62 of the push button 31B is turned on. , Promotes the operation of the push button 31B.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-26 (C), an effect image Z62 for emphasizing the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. Then, when any of the patterns (PS-2 to 4) is determined in the development suggestion effect type determination process of step 241SGS280, the push button 31B during the operation valid period is as shown in FIGS. 11-26 (D). The effect image Z62 is enlarged according to the repeated hitting operation (number of times the operation is detected), and the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E are changed every time a predetermined time elapses. Suggests that B is executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-26 (E), the blackout display is used to darken the background image while maintaining the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E even after the operation valid period ends. After that, a small-sized character image Z310 having the same color as the light emission display color of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E when the operation valid period ends is displayed at a position above the second pseudo movable body display Z200, and the character image Z310 is displayed. After displaying the effect image Z63 for emphasizing (see FIG. 11-26 (F)), the character image Z310 is temporarily erased while the effect image Z63 is displayed (see FIG. 11-26 (G)), and then medium. After displaying the character image Z310 of the size (see FIG. 11-26 (H)), the character image Z310 is temporarily erased while the effect image Z63 is displayed (see FIG. 11-26 (I)), and then the large size character image Z310 is displayed. The character image Z310 is displayed (see FIG. 11-26 (J)).

In FIGS. 11-26 (E) to (J), in consideration of the appearance of the effect, the light emission display of the light emission display units Z208A to Z208E is continued, but the effect image Z62 is preferably not displayed.

In this way, the character images Z310 having the same color as the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in a manner of gradually increasing from the back side to the front side of the screen, and the small size, medium size, and large size character images Z310 are displayed. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 11-26 (J) in FIGS. 11-27, the second pseudo-movable body display is displayed in the area including the first specific effect display position of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. By overlapping the Z200 on the front side of at least a part of the Z200 so that the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be visually recognized through the overlapped area, the expectation that the development effect B is executed is more preferable. Can be fanned.

Further, since the character image Z310 is preferentially displayed on the front side of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is erased without being moved to the first specific initial display position. It can be preferably suggested that the development effect B is executed by displaying the character image Z310 while distracting the player's consciousness.

Further, although the character image Z310 is displayed in a mode of gradually increasing the size, at least the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed in the area including the first specific effect display position of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 from the start of display. It may be displayed so as to overlap a part of the front side. Further, the effect image Z63 may also be displayed as a suggestion image so as to overlap at least a part of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 on the front side.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the second pseudo movable body display Z200 from the first specific effect display position while displaying the large-sized character image Z310. 1 Erase (hide) without moving to the specific initial display position. Specifically, as an erasure display for emphasizing that the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 has been erased, it is hidden in a manner of gradually fading out. After that, the large-sized character image Z310 is erased by hiding it in a manner of gradually fading out.

In the feature unit 241SG, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 as the first specific effect while displaying the large-sized character image Z310. Although a mode of erasing (non-displaying) without moving from the display position to the first specific initial display position has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 11-26 (F). When the display of the character image Z310 is started, or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the display was started, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed as the first specific effect while the character image Z310 is being displayed. It may be erased (hidden) without moving from the position to the first specific initial display position.

Further, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is not limited to the one that is erased (hidden) without being moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position, and the second pseudo-movable body display is displayed. While fading out the Z200, the Z200 may be moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position to be displayed and erased (hidden).

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (B), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific initial display position at the start timing of the development effect B. Here, when the non-execution of the development effect B is determined in the development effect B type determination process of step 241SGS281, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is first specified as shown in FIG. 11-27 (C). The reach title image Z51, which will be described later, is displayed in a predetermined mode (for example, a mode at the start of display having high transmittance and low visibility) while erasing without moving from the initial display position to the first specific effect display position. By doing so, we will inform you that it will develop into a strong super reach.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (D), when the execution of the development effect B is determined, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. By doing so, we will inform you that it will develop into a strong super reach. At this time, as shown in the enlarged view, the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E are displayed in a predetermined color (for example, white) during the moving display, and the rotation display unit Z207 including the light emitting display units Z208A to Z208E is displayed. It is displayed in a mode of rotating it clockwise in front view. Further, an effect image Z65 for emphasizing the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the first specific effect display position.

Note that the emission display colors of the emission display units Z208A to Z208E in FIGS. 11-27 (D) do not suggest a jackpot expectation, unlike the development suggestion effect, and are displayed on the image display device 5 as an image of a weak reach effect. The emission display color is set according to the color of the effect image Z65 or the like displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (E), after displaying the reach title image Z51 described later in a predetermined mode (for example, a mode at the start of display having high transmittance and low visibility), FIG. 11- As shown in 27 (F), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is erased (hidden) without being moved from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-28 (A), when the effect control CPU 120 sets the variable display mode to the super reach display mode, the reach title indicating the type of super reach effect and the reach indicating the jackpot expectation level are shown. The title image Z51 is displayed to notify that the super reach effect has been developed. Next, a super reach effect (for example, an effect of displaying an image Z52 in which a friendly character and an enemy character battle (confront)) is started (see FIG. 11-28 (B)). Then, when the patterns KB-1 and KB-2 are determined in the determination effect type determination process of step 241SGS282 at the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the super reach display mode is set, that is, the operation target is a push button. In the case of 31B, as shown in FIG. 11-28 (C), an operation promotion image Z53 for promoting the pressing operation of the push button 31B is displayed to the player. On the other hand, when the patterns KV-1 and KV-2 are determined in the determination effect type determination process of step 241SGS282, that is, when the operation target is the stick controller 31A, as shown in FIG. 11-28 (D). The operation promotion image Z54 for promoting the pulling operation of the stick controller 31A is displayed on the player.

The timing or push when the push operation of the push button 31B (detection signal from the push sensor 35B) or the pull operation of the stick controller 31A (detection signal from the stick controller 31A) is detected during the operation validity period displaying the operation promotion display. If the variable display result is a big hit at the timing when the operation valid period ends without detecting the push operation of the button 31B or the pull operation of the stick controller 31A, as shown in FIG. 11-29 (E), the mounted movable body 32 Is executed from the origin position to the effect position on the front side of the display area, and the effect image Z55 is displayed. Further, according to the movement of the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position, predetermined sound effects are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the mounted movable body LED 208 is set to a predetermined color (for example, rainbow color). Make it emit light.

The effect image Z55 is an effect image including a plurality of glass fragment images displayed in a manner in which the glass is cracked and scattered, and an embodiment having the same mode as the effect image Z71 described later has been exemplified. The effect image is not limited to the above, and may be an effect image having a mode different from that of the effect image Z71. For example, by displaying only a part of the glass in a manner in which only a part of the glass is cracked and scattered as fragments and the remaining part is left, the mounted movable body 32 is displayed overlapping with the effect image Z55 displayed on the image display device 5. Even in a situation where it is difficult to see, it may be possible to make it easier for the player to grasp what has happened over a period of time.

Further, also in the effect image Z55, similarly to the effect image Z71 described later, at least one of the plurality of glass fragment images displayed in a scattered manner is the mounted movable body 32 arranged on the front side of the image display device 5. By reflecting a part of the display, the positional relationship between the mounted movable body 32 and the glass fragment image becomes clearer, so that a display with a more three-dimensional effect can be realized.

After that, after moving the mounted movable body 32 from the effect position to the origin position, as shown in FIG. 11-29 (F), after displaying the image Z56 showing that the ally character has won the battle with the enemy character. , As shown in FIG. 11-29 (G), the combination of jackpot symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed to notify the jackpot confirmation. Even if the combination of big hit symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed, the small symbols remain variably displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect image Z71 in which the glass is cracked and the glass fragments are scattered in the display area of the image display device 5, and the first pseudo-movable. The body display Z100 is displayed at the first initial display position. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (B), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and the effect movable display units Z110A to Z110D are first produced. The display state is changed to the second effect display state. Further, it is the same as when the mounted movable body 32 is dropped in FIG. 11-29 (E) according to the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100. The speakers 8L and 8R are output with a predetermined sound effect, and the light emitting display unit Z108A is made to emit a predetermined color (for example, rainbow color).

Here, the details of the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 described with reference to FIGS. 11-30 (A) and 11-30 (B) are shown in FIGS. 11-31. explain.

As shown in FIG. 11-31 (A), the effect control CPU 120 displays an effect image Z71 including an image Z71A showing a mode in which the glass is cracked and a plurality of glass fragments are scattered in the display area of the image display device 5. At the same time, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first initial display position. The effect control CPU 120 displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 so that a part of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 can be visually recognized below the mounted movable body 32 held at the origin position. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-31 (B), when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first intermediate display position between the first initial display position and the first effect display position, FIG. 11 The amount and moving display speed of the image Z71A showing the glass fragments are increased as compared with the state shown in −31 (A), and the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed on the front side of the image Z71A.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (C) and 11-31 (D), when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first effect display position, the glass shards are more than those shown in FIGS. 11-31 (B). The amount and movement display speed of the image Z71A showing the above are further increased, and these images Z71A are displayed on the front side of the first pseudo movable body display Z100.

In this way, the effect image Z71 for emphasizing the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 according to the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed as the first initial display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100. While displaying in the display area including the position, the first intermediate display position, and the first effect display position, only the image Z71A showing the glass fragments in the effect image Z71 is moved from the back side to the front side of the first pseudo movable body display Z100. By displaying the image Z71A in a manner of being scattered around, not only can the image Z71A give a three-dimensional effect, but also the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be made to look as if it were a real structure.

Further, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 11-31 (C), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is transparent to any one of the plurality of images Z71A displayed on the front side of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100. The first pseudo-movable body display is displayed on any one of the plurality of images Z71A displayed visually or displayed on the front side of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 11-31 (D). By reflecting and displaying a part of the Z100, the positional relationship between the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the image Z71A becomes clearer, so that a display with a more three-dimensional effect can be realized.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (D), the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect position, and then displays the effect movable display units Z110A to Z110D as the first effect. While changing from the state to the second effect display state, the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A are executed at substantially the same cycle.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-32, after the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves and displays the first effect display position, the effect control CPU 120 displays the light emitting display unit Z108A in the first period ta1 to ta2 ( For example, an effect period in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first effect display position as a blinking display pattern that is light-emitting for 33 ms) and then hidden for the second period ta2 to ta3 (for example, 33 ms). While repeating the process a plurality of times over ta1 to ta4, the mounted movable body LED 208 is turned on for the first corresponding period (for example, 30 ms) corresponding to the first period, and then the second corresponding period (for example, 30 ms) corresponding to the second period is lit. The blinking pattern of turning off the light for 40 ms) is repeated a plurality of times over the production period ta1 to ta4.

In this way, by executing (synchronizing) the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A at substantially the same cycle, the effect can be more preferably excited. It is difficult to accurately match (synchronize) the time for emitting and displaying the light emitting display unit Z108A (for example, 33 ms) and the time for lighting the mounted movable body LED 208 (for example, 30 ms) in the first period ta1 to ta2. Even in some cases, for example, by making the extinguishing period of the mounted movable body LED 208 longer than the lighting period, the difference between the light emitting display of the light emitting display unit Z108A and the lighting of the mounted movable body LED 208 becomes large as time passes. Can be prevented.

Further, during the effect periods ta1 to ta4, a vibration effect may be performed in which the vibration motor 61 is driven to vibrate the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A. By doing so, the production can be made more exciting. The drive of the vibration motor 61 may be synchronized with the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A and the lighting of the mounted movable body LED 208.

Returning to FIG. 11-30 (C), the effect control CPU 120 returns the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the second effect display state to the first effect display state, and ends the reduced display of the decorative symbol. After temporarily stopping and displaying in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (D), the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed upward, and FIG. 11-30 ( As shown in E), it is erased after moving to the first effect display position and displaying. Then, the combination of the fixed decorative symbols is stopped and displayed, and the small symbol is also stopped and displayed by the combination of the big hit symbols.

In this way, the jackpot gaming state is controlled by executing the effect of dropping the mounted movable body 32 to perform the jackpot confirmation notification, and then executing the effect of moving and displaying the first pseudo movable body display Z100. Can be more preferably felt by the player.

Returning to FIG. 11-29, a single push operation of the push button 31B (detection signal from the push sensor 35B) or a single pull operation of the stick controller 31A (from the stick controller 31A) during the operation valid period displaying the operation promotion display. If the variable display result is off at the timing when the detection signal) is detected, or when the operation valid period ends without detecting the single push operation of the push button 31B or the single pull operation of the stick controller 31A, FIG. 11-29. As shown in (H), the effect image Z57 is displayed and the effect image Z57 is displayed without executing the movable body effect of dropping the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position above the display area of the image display device 5 to the effect position on the front side of the display area. As shown in FIG. 11-29 (I), after displaying the image Z58 showing that the ally character has lost the battle with the enemy character, as shown in FIG. 11-29 (J), the combination of the missed symbols is displayed. Stop display is displayed and notification of disconnection confirmation is performed. In addition, the combination of the missed symbols is synchronized with the stop display, and the small symbols are stopped and displayed by the combination of the missed symbols.

For example, the operation timing of the push button 31B differs between the case where the push button 31B is operated at the start of the operation valid period and the case where the push button 31B is not operated during the operation valid period. The difference in scale caused by 1. 2. Period of shaking of the decorative design until the design is confirmed. Display period of images Z55 to Z58, 3. It may be absorbed by extending or shortening any period of the effect period of the movable body effect.

(Example of production operation of Super Reach γ)
Next, an example of the effect of the super reach γ will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-33 to 11-34. 11-33 are diagrams (A) to (F) showing an example of the effect operation of the advance notice effect B in the super reach γ. 11-34 are diagrams (A) to (F) showing an example of the effect operation of the advance notice effect B in the super reach γ.

In the following, an example of the effect operation of the advance notice effect B executed in the normal reach effect in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ will be described, and the flow from the start of the variable display to the start of the normal reach effect is the same as that of the super reach β. Therefore, the description is omitted. The super reach γ is a variation pattern that is selected only when the gaming state is a high base state.

As shown in FIG. 11-33 (A), when the pattern PYB-1 is determined in the advance notice effect type determination process of step 241SGS278B, the effect control CPU 120 gives a notice that a predetermined time has elapsed from the normal reach display mode. At the start timing of the effect B, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the second specific initial display position and then moved to the second intermediate effect display position (see FIG. 11-33 (B)) to perform a big hit. The notice effect B suggesting that the game state is controlled is executed. Further, an effect image Z81 for emphasizing the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the second intermediate effect display position.

The second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is variable in the decorative symbol display area 5L by being overlapped on the front side of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5L at the second intermediate effect display position. It becomes difficult to visually recognize the displayed decorative pattern.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-33 (C), the effect control CPU 120 erases (non-moves) the second pseudo movable body display Z200 from the second intermediate effect display position to the second specific initial display position. indicate.

As shown in FIG. 11-33 (D), when the pattern PYB-2 is determined in the advance notice effect type determination process of step 241SGS278B, the effect control CPU 120 gives a notice that a predetermined time has elapsed from the normal reach display mode. At the start timing of the effect B, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the second specific initial display position and then moved to the second specific effect display position (see FIG. 11-33 (E)) to perform a big hit. The notice effect B suggesting that the game state is controlled is executed. Further, an effect image Z81 for emphasizing the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed around the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed at the second specific effect display position.

The second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is variable in the decorative symbol display area 5C by being overlapped on the front side of the decorative symbol that is variably displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5C at the second specific effect display position. It becomes difficult to visually recognize the displayed decorative pattern.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-33 (F), the effect control CPU 120 erases (non-moves) the second pseudo movable body display Z200 from the second specific effect display position to the second specific initial display position. indicate.

As shown in FIG. 11-34 (A), when the pattern PYB-3 is determined in the advance notice effect type determination process of step 241SGS278B, the effect control CPU 120 gives a notice that a predetermined time has elapsed from the normal reach display mode. At the start timing of the effect B, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed at the first initial display position and then moved to the first effect display position (see FIG. 11-34 (B)) to display the jackpot game state. The notice effect B suggesting that the control is performed is executed. Further, an effect image Z82 for emphasizing the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed around the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 that has been moved and displayed at the first effect display position.

The first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is overlapped on the front side of the decorative symbol displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, and 5R at the first effect display position, so that the decorative symbol display area 5L is displayed. It becomes difficult to visually recognize the decorative pattern that is variably displayed on the 5C and 5R.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (C), the effect control CPU 120 erases (hides) the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 without moving it from the first effect display position to the first initial display position. To do.

As shown in FIG. 11-34 (D), when the pattern PYB-4 is determined in the advance notice effect type determination process of step 241SGS278B, the effect control CPU 120 gives a notice that a predetermined time has elapsed from the normal reach display mode. At the start timing of the effect B, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed at the second initial display position and then moved to the second effect display position (see FIG. 11-34 (E)) to display the jackpot game state. The notice effect B suggesting that the control is performed is executed. Further, an effect image Z82 for emphasizing the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed around the first pseudo movable body display Z100 that has been moved and displayed at the second effect display position.

The first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is overlapped on the front side of the decorative symbol displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, and 5R at the second effect display position, so that the decorative symbol display area 5L is displayed. It becomes difficult to visually recognize the decorative pattern that is variably displayed on the 5C and 5R.

(Pseudo movable body display and movable body)
Next, the pseudo movable body display and the movable body will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-35 to 11-40. 11-35 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. 11-36 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. 11-37 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. FIG. 11-38 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. FIG. 11-39 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the pseudo movable body display and the non-mounted movable body. FIG. 11-40 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the first pseudo-movable body display and the second pseudo-movable body display.

As shown in FIGS. 11-35, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is different from the mounted movable body 32 in form, weight, drive mechanism, etc., as described in FIG. 11-14 (B). Although it is a pseudo movable body display that imitates the mounted movable body M100, the first initial display position and the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 are both substantially the same position in the upper part of the display area of the image display device 5, and the first effect display position. Since the effect positions of the mounted movable body 32 and the mounted movable body 32 are both lower than the first initial display position and the origin position, the direction of movement from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and the mounted movable body 32 are the origin. The direction of movement from the position to the effect position is the common downward direction. That is, both the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the mounted movable body 32 are movable downward from the first initial display position and the origin position in the upper part of the display area of the image display device 5.

As described with reference to FIGS. 11-16, the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the effect position from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32. The moving distance to is longer than L1 (L2> L1).

Here, as shown in FIGS. 11-35 (A') to 11-35 (C'), the mounted movable body 32 falls (moves) due to its own weight from the upper origin position to the lower effect position via the intermediate position. While it takes about 300 ms, as shown in FIGS. 11-35 (A) to (C), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 has a first effect display from the first initial display position through the first intermediate display position. It takes about 100 ms to move and display the position. That is, the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 has a longer movement display distance and is more than the movement from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 to the effect position. Is also fast.

In this way, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 imitating the first non-mounted movable body M100 can be mounted and moved as a structure that can be moved in the same direction (for example, downward) as the first non-mounted movable body M100. When it is possible to move and display from almost the same position as the body 32 in the same direction, the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is the movement display of the mounted movable body 32. By making the movement faster than the movement from the origin position to the production position, it is possible to perform a production with an impact faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32 actually mounted, which surprises the player. be able to.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (A') and 11-36 (B'), the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 has moved from the first origin position to the first effect position below the first origin position. Occasionally, the mechanical unit M100B comes into contact with the upper part of the moving body M106 and stops due to the downward movement being restricted, and the vibration generated when the movement is restricted causes a recoil operation (rebound) of a predetermined movement amount. It is said that the display imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100 in which the above is performed.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (A) and 11-36 (B), the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100. When the stop display is performed at the effect display position, the recoil motion display (rebound display) of a specific movement amount is performed.

More specifically, the first non-mounted movable body M100 has a cantilever structure in which only the left side of the effect unit M100A is supported by the drive mechanism M101, and when the first non-mounted movable body M100 is moved to the first effect position, the mechanism unit M100B moves to the moving body M106. Since it comes into contact with the upper part of the head and the downward movement is restricted, the mechanism unit M100B undergoes a recoil operation due to vibration before the effect unit M100A, and then the vibration is transmitted to the effect unit M100A to cause a recoil operation.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11-36 (B1), when the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position, after performing the recoil operation display of the mechanism unit M100B. , As shown in FIG. 11-36 (B2), the recoil operation display of the effect unit M100A is performed. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 that imitates the first non-mounted movable body M100, which is different from the mounted movable body 32, is displayed in a more realistic manner (for example, the display that imitates the mounted movable body 32). It can be moved and displayed in a different mode).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (C') and 11-36 (D'), the mounted movable body 32 has a structure in which the left and right sides of the effect unit 32A are supported by the drive mechanisms 101L and 101R, and moves to the effect position. At that time, the mechanism unit 32B abuts on the upper parts of the left and right moving bodies 206 to restrict the downward movement, and the vibration generated when the movement is restricted causes a recoil operation of a predetermined movement amount.

Next, the operation modes of the mounted movable body 32 and the first pseudo movable body in the determination effect will be described.

As described with reference to FIGS. 11-28 to 11-30, the effect control CPU 120 performs a movable body effect of dropping the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position during the execution period (ta0 to ta10) of the determined effect. After executing and performing the jackpot confirmation notification, it is possible to execute the pseudo movable body display in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-37 (A), the effect control CPU 120 determines and starts the effect at the timing ta0, and then the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B within the operation valid period. At the detected timing ta1, the mounted movable body 32 is dropped from the origin position to the effect position. The mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position during the period TL1 (for example, about 300 ms) of the timing ta1 to ta2, and then the recoil operation is performed during the period of the timing ta2 to ta3 (for example, about 700 ms).

After that, at the timing ta4, the mounted movable body 32 is moved (raised) from the effect position to the origin position, and the big hit confirmation notification is performed. Here, the period TL3 (for example, about 1000 ms) of the timing ta4 to ta5 when the mounted movable body 32 moves from the effect position to the origin position is the period of the timing ta1 to ta2 when the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position. Longer than TL1 (eg, about 300 ms). In other words, the speed at which the mounted movable body 32 moves from the effect position to the origin position is slower than the speed at which the mounted movable body 32 moves (falls) from the origin position to the effect position.

In this way, in the production using the mounted movable body 32 which is a structure, when the mounted movable body 32 is moved from the origin position to the production position in response to the operation detection of the player, the game is performed by dropping the mounted movable body 32 faster by its own weight. While it is possible to give an impact to a person, when the mounted movable body 32 is moved from the effect position to the origin position, it is possible to prevent the mounted movable body 32 from being damaged by the impact by moving it slowly.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 at the first initial display position at the timing ta6 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the jackpot confirmation notification is performed, and the period TL2 (for example, the period ta6 to ta7) of the timing ta6 to ta7. After moving from the first initial display position to the first effect display position (about 100 ms), the recoil motion display is performed during the period from timing ta7 to ta8 (for example, about 900 ms).

After that, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed (raised) from the first effect display position to the first initial display position at the timing ta9, and then the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is erased. Here, during the period TL4 (for example, about 1000 ms) of the timing ta9 to ta10 when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first effect display position to the first initial display position, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is first. It is longer than the period TL2 (for example, about 100 ms) of the timing ta6 to ta7 for moving and displaying from the initial display position to the first effect display position. In other words, the speed at which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first effect display position to the first initial display position is such that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display. It is slower than the speed when moving to the position and displaying.

As described above, in the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100, the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is more than the movement display from the first effect display position to the first initial display position. The first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be moved and displayed in a more realistic manner by making it the same as the mounted movable body 32, such as by increasing the speed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-37 (B), the amount of movement per unit time (for example, TL2) when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. Comparing L2 (movement display distance L2) with the movement amount L1A per unit time (for example, TL2) when moving the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 The movement amount L2 per unit time TL2 is larger than the movement amount L1A per unit time TL2 of the mounted movable body 32. That is, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32 from the origin position to the effect position. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can produce an effect having an impact faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32, so that the player can be surprised.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-37 (C), the amount of movement of the first recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. L12 is larger than the movement amount L11 of the first recoil operation display performed when the mounted movable body 32 is moved and displayed from the origin position to the effect position. Further, the number of recoil movements displayed on the first pseudo movable body display Z100 (for example, 6 times) is larger than the number of recoil movements of the mounted movable body 32 (for example, 4 times). By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can realize a pseudo effect similar to that of the first non-mounted movable body M100 without mounting the first non-mounted movable body M100. By displaying the recoil motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position in an exaggerated manner, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (A) and 11-38 (B), the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the first non-mounted movable body The movement display distance L2 from the first origin position to the first effect display position of the M100 is the same, and the period TL2 for moving and displaying the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is The period for moving the first non-mounted movable body M100 from the first origin position to the first effect position is shorter than the period TL10 (TL2 <TL10). Therefore, the movement amount L2 per unit time (for example, TL2) when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is the first non-mounted movable body M100. It is larger than the amount of movement per unit time (for example, TL2) when moving from one origin position to the first effect position. That is, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is more than the movement of the first non-mounted movable body M100 from the first origin position to the first effect position. Is also fast. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can produce an effect having a faster impact than the movement of the first non-mounted movable body M100, so that the player can be surprised.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-38 (C), the amount of movement of the first recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. In L12, the movement amount L11 of the first recoil operation display performed when the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position, and the first non-mounted movable body M100 is the first from the first origin position. It is larger than the movement amount L13 of the first recoil operation display performed when the movement is displayed at the effect position. Further, the number of recoil movements displayed on the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 (for example, 6 times) is larger than the number of recoil movements (for example, 4 times) of the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100. By doing so, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 simulates the same effect as the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the mounted movable body 32 without mounting the first non-mounted movable body M100. It can be realized, and the reaction motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position or when the mounted movable body 32 moves to the effect position is displayed in an exaggerated manner. It is possible to provide a production that leaves a lasting impression on the person.

In the feature unit 241SG, the comparison between the predetermined moving amount in the recoil motion of the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the specific moving amount in the recoil motion display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is The first recoil motion and the recoil motion display were compared, but any of the recoil motions and the recoil motion display after the second time may be compared, or the total or average movement amount of the multiple recoil motions and the recoil motion. It may be compared with the displayed total or average movement amount.

Further, the recoil motion exemplifies a form in which the movable body jumps upward due to the recoil when the movable body is stopped at the second position, but includes the deformation or vibration of a predetermined portion of the movable body due to the recoil. ..

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-39 (A), when the mounted movable body 32 is moved from the effect position to the origin position, or the first non-mounted movable body M100 is moved from the first effect position to the first origin position. In this case, since a drive source such as the mounted movable body motors 202L, 202R or M101 is used, the effect control CPU 120 timings the control speed of the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100 from the timing tb1 when the movement is started. The first period up to tb2 is increased, the period from timing tb2 to timing tb3 is constant, and the second period from timing tb3 to timing tb4 is decreased. That is, the mounted movable body 32 and the first non-mounted movable body M100 accelerate until the first period elapses after the start of movement, then move at a constant speed, and decelerate in the second period before the stop position. Stop.

On the other hand, the speed at which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are moved and displayed is from the timing tb1 at which the movement is started to the timing tb4 at which the movement is stopped, as shown in FIG. 11-39 (B). Since it is constant and the first period for accelerating the movement display and the second period for decelerating the movement display are unnecessary, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed on the first non-mounted movable body M100. And the movement of the mounted movable body 32 can be performed more smoothly.

Next, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-40.

As shown in FIGS. 11-40 (A) to 11-40 (C), when creating a moving image in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, at least the first pseudo is created. The first frame, which is an input image for displaying the movable body display Z100 at the first initial display position, and the second frame, which is an input image for displaying the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 at the first effect display position. , Is required.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-40 (A') to 11-40 (B'), when creating a moving image in which the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. , At least, for displaying the first frame, which is an input image for displaying the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 at the first specific initial display position, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 at the first specific effect display position. A second frame, which is an input image, is required.

As described with reference to FIGS. 11-16, it is the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position, and is the first specification of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. The movement display distance L3 from the initial display position to the first specific effect display position, and the movement display distance L2 is longer than the movement display distance L3, but the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect. While the time required to move and display to the display position is about 100 ms, the time required to move and display the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position is about about 100 ms. Since it differs at 800 ms, the movement display from the first initial display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the first from the first specific initial display position of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. 1 Faster than moving display to a specific effect display position.

Here, when the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, the first frame shown in FIGS. 11-40 (A), FIG. 11- It is conceivable to display the second frame in the order shown in 40 (C), but the frame rate becomes low and the movement becomes rattling and unnatural.

Therefore, between the first frame and the second frame, the interpolation frame 1 shown in FIG. 11-40 (B) is inserted as an input image for displaying the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 at the first intermediate display position. The number of frames of the moving image is increased to increase the frame rate, and the movement display from the first initial display position to the first effect display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is displayed for each display frame, the first initial display position, By performing the first intermediate display position and the first effect display position in this order, a natural and smooth movement display can be performed.

In this way, even when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed at high speed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, at least one interpolation frame is inserted between the first frame and the second frame. By realizing a natural and smooth movement display, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be quickly moved and displayed without deteriorating the visibility.

On the other hand, when the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the second pseudo movable body display Z200 from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the first frame shown in FIG. 11-40 (A'), It is conceivable to display the second frame in the order shown in FIG. 11-40 (B'), but the frame rate becomes low and the movement becomes rattling and unnatural.

Therefore, in order to display the second pseudo movable body display Z200 at a plurality of first intermediate display positions between the first specific initial display position and the first specific effect display position between the first frame and the second frame. As an input image, a plurality of interpolation frames (not shown) are inserted to increase the number of frames of the moving image to increase the frame rate to realize a natural and smooth moving display, and the first specification of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. By performing the movement display from the initial display position to the first specific effect display position in the order of the first specific initial display position, each first intermediate display position, and the first specific effect display position for each display frame, the second The pseudo movable body display Z200 can be moved and displayed at a speed slower than that of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 without deteriorating the visibility.

Further, for example, in the advance notice effect B, the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position or from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. When PBY-4 to be moved and displayed is executed, and when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second intermediate effect display position, the pattern PBY- 1. The ratio controlled to the big hit state (big hit expectation) is different from that when PBY-2 is executed, so that the ratio controlled to the big hit gaming state is different between the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second. The pseudo movable body display Z200 can be recognized by the player due to the difference in the speed of the movement display.

Further, the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and the PBY-4 in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. Patterns PBY-1 and PBY-2 in which the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second intermediate effect display position when is executed. Since the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot state (big hit expectation) is higher than when is executed, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be noticed.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and stopped and displayed at the first effect display position on the image display device 5. An example of a mode in which a recoil motion display (rebound display) of a predetermined movement amount is performed has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 11-34 (D) to (E), an image display is performed. When the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the second initial display position to the second effect display position and stopped and displayed at the second effect display position by the device 5, a recoil operation display of a predetermined movement amount ( Bounce display) may be performed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-33 (A) to (B), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position on the image display device 5. When the second intermediate effect display position is stopped and displayed, or as shown in FIGS. 11-33 (D) to (E), the image display device 5 displays the second pseudo movable body display Z200 at the second specific initial display position. When the movement is displayed at the second specific effect display position and the stop display is performed at the second specific effect display position, a recoil operation display (rebound display) of a predetermined movement amount may be performed.

Further, in the notice effect B, the recoil operation display performed when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 moves from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position is a notice. In the effect A, it is preferable that the amount of movement is larger than the recoil operation display performed when the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. By doing so, since the amount of movement of the advance notice effect B is larger than that of the advance notice effect A, the movement display can be performed in a more realistic manner.

In addition, the recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position after the pattern PBY-3 of the advance notice effect B or the big hit notification of the determined effect is performed. However, it is preferable that the amount of movement is larger than the recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the second initial display position to the second effect display position in the pattern PBY-4 of the advance notice effect B. .. By doing so, the recoil motion display becomes larger when the downward movement display is performed than when the upward movement display is performed, so that the movement display can be performed in a more realistic manner.

(Action / effect)
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 241SG, the direction in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect position and the mounted movable body 32 are the origin positions. The direction of movement from to the effect position is a common downward direction, and the movement amount L2 per unit time TL2 of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is larger than the movement amount L1A per unit time TL2 of the mounted movable body 32. large.
According to this feature, the player can be surprised by the fact that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can produce an effect having an impact faster than the movement of the mounted movable body 32.
Further, since it is possible to move and display at a speed that is difficult to realize with the mounted movable body 32 and to move and display at a plurality of speeds, it is possible to diversify the effect.

The feature unit 241SG exemplifies a mode in which the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the moving speed of the mounted movable body 32 are compared, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first It may be a comparison of the speed between the movement display of the pseudo movable body display Z100 and the movement of the first non-mounted movable body M100, or the movement display of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 and the second non-mounted movable body M200. It may be a comparison of speed with movement. That is, if the speed of the movement display of the pseudo-movable body display and the movement of the movable body are compared, the pseudo-movable body display and the type of the movable body to be compared may be arbitrarily changed.

Further, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is a display imitating the first non-mounted movable body M100 in which a recoil operation of a predetermined movement amount is performed when moving from the first origin position to the first effect position. The control CPU 120 moves the first pseudo movable body display Z100 up and down between the first initial display position corresponding to the first origin position and the first effect display position corresponding to the first effect position on the image display device 5. It is possible to move and display in the direction, and when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and stopped and displayed at the first effect display position, a predetermined amount of movement is displayed. The reaction motion display (rebound display) is performed, and the movement amount L12 of the first reaction motion display performed when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. Is larger than the movement amount L13 of the first reaction motion display performed when the first non-mounted movable body M100 is moved and displayed from the first origin position to the first effect position.
According to this feature, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can realize a pseudo effect similar to that of the first non-mounted movable body M100 without mounting the first non-mounted movable body M100. By displaying the recoil motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position in an exaggerated manner, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

The feature unit 241SG exemplifies a mode in which the recoil motion display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the recoil motion amount of the first non-mounted movable body M100 are compared, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, it may be a comparison of the recoil motion display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 and the movement amount of the recoil motion of the second non-mounted movable body M200, or the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 or the second pseudo-movable body. It may be a comparison between the recoil motion display of the display Z200 and the recoil motion of the mounted movable body 32. That is, in the case of comparing the amount of movement between the reactionary motion display of the pseudo-movable body display and the recoil motion of the movable body, the pseudo-movable body display and the type of the movable body to be compared may be arbitrarily changed.

Further, in the variable display period of the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β or the super reach γ, the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200 are executed. In time, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state (big hit expectation) is higher than when the development effect A is not executed and the development effect B is executed.
According to this feature, the player can be made to pay attention to the execution of the development effect A which is the movable body effect and the development effect B which is the pseudo movable body display effect.
When the development effect A using the mounted movable body 32 and the development effect B using the second pseudo movable body display Z200 are executed, the development effect A is not executed and the development effect B is executed. The fact that the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state is higher than that of the game including the case where the development effect A and the development effect B are controlled to the jackpot gaming state at a rate of 100%.

In addition, it suggests the possibility that the advance notice effect A that announces the possibility (expectation degree) that the variable display result will be a big hit, the development effect B that notifies that the variable display result will develop into a strong super reach effect, and the development effect B will be executed. It is possible to execute the development suggestion effect, and in the advance notice effect A, after the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, the first specific effect display is displayed. After moving from the position to the first specific initial display position and then hiding it, in the development effect B, the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific effect display position, and then from the first specific effect display position. The second pseudo movable body display Z200 displayed at the first specific initial display position is hidden before the development effect B is executed by hiding the movement display to the first specific initial display position. At this time, the character image Z310 can be displayed in the display area including the first specific effect display position.
According to this feature, in the advance notice effect A, since the second pseudo movable body display Z200 moves and displays in the same manner as the movable body as a structure, whether or not it is controlled to an advantageous state without giving a sense of discomfort to the player. On the other hand, in the development suggestion effect, the display of the character image Z310 is prioritized over the movement display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 in the same manner as the movable body, from the first specific effect display position. Since the display is hidden without returning to the first specific initial display position, the player can pay attention to the suggestion of the execution of the development effect B.

In addition, it is possible to execute a deciding effect that notifies whether or not the game is controlled to the jackpot game state, and a development effect B that develops into a strong super reach effect and notifies that the deciding effect is executed. When the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed in B, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, and then the first specific effect display is displayed. A display area including the first specific effect display position, in which the reach title image Z51 suggesting the execution of the development effect B is hidden without being moved from the position to the first specific initial display position. When the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed in the determined effect, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and then the display is performed. It is hidden after being moved from the first effect display position to the first initial display position.
According to this feature, before the determination effect is executed, the second display of the suggestive image is prioritized over the movement display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 in the same manner as the movable body as a structure. Since it is hidden without returning from the position to the first display position, the player can pay attention to the suggestion of execution of the decision effect, while in the decision effect, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is the same as the movable body. Since the movement is displayed in this way, it is possible to pay attention to the notification of the content that is advantageous to the player without giving the player a sense of discomfort.
In the feature unit 241SG, the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed in the development effect B (specific effect), and the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed in the determined effect (special effect). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a common pseudo-movable body display may be moved between the specific effect and the special effect.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 displays the movement display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position for each display frame, the first initial display position, the first intermediate display position, and the like. And the first effect display position, and in the display area including the first initial display position, the first intermediate display position, and the first effect display position, a specific image that emphasizes the moving display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 ( For example, it is possible to display an effect image Z71) in which the glass is cracked and the image Z71A showing a plurality of glass fragments is scattered.
According to this feature, the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be moved and displayed quickly without deteriorating the visibility, and the movement display is emphasized by a specific image to give a suitable impression to the player. Can be attached.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 displays the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position for each display frame, the first initial display position, the first intermediate display position, and the like. And the first effect display position, and the movement display from the first initial display position of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position is the first specific initial display of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200. The pattern PBY-3 or the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position in the advance notice effect B, which is faster than the movement display from the position to the first specific effect display position. When PBY-4, which is moved and displayed from the second initial display position to the second effect display position, is executed, and when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is changed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second. The ratio controlled to the jackpot state (big hit expectation) differs between when the patterns PBY-1 and PBY-2 that are moved and displayed at the intermediate effect display position are executed.
According to this feature, the player can pay attention to which of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed, and the ratio controlled to the jackpot gaming state is different. The player can be made to recognize the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 by the difference in the speed of the movement display.
In the notice effect B, the pattern PBY-3 in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved from the first initial display position to the first effect display position and the pattern PBY-3 are moved from the second initial display position to the second effect display position. A big hit when the pattern PBY-4 to be executed is executed and when the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is executed from the second specific initial display position to the second specific effect display position or the second intermediate effect display position. The difference in the ratio controlled to the state (expected jackpot) is that the percentage controlled to the jackpot state when the pattern PBY-3 or the pattern PBY-4 is executed in the advance notice B is 100%, and the pattern PBY- When 1 or pattern PBY-2 is executed, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is 0%, or when pattern PBY-1 or pattern PBY-2 is executed in the advance notice effect B, the jackpot state is controlled. This includes the case where the ratio is 100% and the ratio controlled to the jackpot gaming state when the pattern PBY-3 or the pattern PBY-4 is executed is 0%.

Further, by making the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 a display image having not only the effect display units Z100A and Z200A but also the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B, the movable body operates by the drive mechanism. While it is possible to express the body more realistically and realize a movable body display effect similar to the movable body effect, the movement display is not only displayed in the same manner as the movement of the movable body, but also the movable body. Then, by making it possible to move and display a mode that is difficult to realize due to reasons such as a complicated mechanism and an increase in cost, it is possible to preferably improve the interest of the production.

In addition, the feature unit 241SG erases (hides) the movement display in a mode that is difficult to realize with a movable body, without displaying the high-speed movement, the deformed display, and the return display from the effect display position to the initial display position. Although the above is illustrated, it is possible to provide an unexpected effect by realistically expressing the display mode of the pseudo-movable body display and unrealistically displaying the moving display.

In particular, since the pseudo movable body display moved to the effect display position can be hidden or displayed at a desired timing, for example, the movable body as a structure moved to the effect display position is returned to the origin position. At that time, it is possible to avoid deterioration of visibility due to hiding of other production images, and it is possible to start the next production immediately, which has the effect of increasing the degree of freedom in production design. Play.

Further, the movement amount L12 of the first recoil operation display performed when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is the first non-mounted movable body M100. Is larger than the movement amount L13 of the first recoil motion display performed when the movement is displayed from the first origin position to the first effect position, so that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 causes the first non-mounted movable body M100. It is possible to realize the same effect as the first non-mounted movable body M100 without mounting the above, and exaggerate the recoil motion that occurs when the first non-mounted movable body M100 moves to the first effect position. By displaying in the above-mentioned manner, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

Further, since the moving display distance L2 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position is longer than the moving distance L1 from the origin position to the effect position, the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is mounted. Since the moving speed is faster than that of the movable body 32 and the moving distance is longer, it is possible to provide an effect that leaves an impression on the player.

Further, the pseudo movable body display includes the effect display units Z100A and Z200A and the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B, and in the movement display of the pseudo movable body display, the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B are more than the effect display units Z100A and Z200A. By reaching the first effect display position first, the pseudo movable body display can be moved and displayed in a more realistic manner.

Further, the movement amount L2 per unit time TL2 of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is larger than the movement amount L1A per unit time TL2 of the mounted movable body 32, so that the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 is more realistic. It can be moved and displayed in various modes.

Further, the movement period between the origin position and the effect position of the mounted movable body 32 includes a first period in which the speed increases and a second period in which the speed decreases, and the movement display of the pseudo movable body display is included. Since the period does not include the first period and the second period, the movement display of the pseudo movable body display can be performed more smoothly than the movement of the movable body.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect position, and then executes the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A in substantially the same cycle. , The player can be made to pay attention to the first pseudo movable body display Z100 which is moved and displayed at the first effect display position.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 does not emit light from the light emitting display unit Z108A when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed, so that the incomplete first pseudo movable body display Z100 during the moving display is seen. By not standing up, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the effect of the effect.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect position, and then executes the light emission of the mounted movable body LED 208 and the light emission display of the light emission display unit Z108A in substantially the same cycle. , The first pseudo-movable body display Z100 can be moved and displayed in a more realistic manner.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 can move and display the second pseudo movable body display Z200 from the second specific initial display position to the second intermediate effect display position or the second specific effect display position, and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be displayed in the advance notice effect A. The pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is secondly specified from the second specific initial display position in the advance notice effect B. By moving to the effect display position and displaying differently from the right direction, one pseudo-movable body display can be moved and displayed from multiple display positions, so the player can create an unexpected effect that is difficult to achieve with a movable body. Can be provided to.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, and then moves and displays the first pseudo movable body display Z100 from the first initial display position to the first effect display position. By being able to move and display in a direction different from that of the above, it is possible to provide the player with an unexpected effect that is difficult to realize with a movable body.

(Modification example 1)
Next, a modification 1 of the feature portion 241SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-41. 11-41 is a diagram showing modification 1 of the feature portion 241SG in FIGS. 11-41.

In the feature unit 241SG, as described with reference to FIG. 11-25, in the advance notice effect A, after the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is moved and displayed from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position, it is displayed. An example is illustrated in which the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position as the development effect A after moving and displaying from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position and then erasing.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11-41 (D), the movable range of the mounted movable body 32 and a part of the movable range of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 overlap, that is, the mounted movable body is moved to the effect position. When the movable body 32 and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 that has been moved and displayed to the first specific effect display position overlap, the effect control CPU 120 moves the mounted movable body 32 to the effect position and the second pseudo. When the movement display of the movable body display Z200 to the first specific effect display position is executed in a common period, the mounted movable body 32 overlaps on the front side of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 and the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is overlapped. Since it becomes difficult to visually recognize the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, it becomes easy to understand that the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is not a structure but a display body, and the interest of the production is lowered.

In such a case, as shown in FIG. 11-41 (A), the second pseudo movable body display Z200 is displayed at the first specific initial display position and moved from the first specific initial display position to the first specific effect display position. After displaying (see FIG. 11-41 (B)), by erasing without moving from the first specific effect display position to the first specific initial display position (see FIG. 11-41 (C)), FIG. 11 As shown in −41 (D), it may be avoided that the mounted movable body 32 moved from the origin position to the effect position as the development effect A overlaps with the second pseudo movable body display Z200.

(Modification 2)
Next, a modification 2 of the feature portion 241SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-42. 11-42 are views (A) to (H) showing a modification 2 of the feature portion 241SG.

In the feature unit 241SG, the direction in which the mounted movable body 32 moves from the origin position to the effect position and the direction in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position are common. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the mounted movable body 401 as the second modification is in the first position and below the first position. The direction of movement between the second position and the direction in which the pseudo-movable body display Z402 as the second modification is moved and displayed between the first display position and the second display position above the first display position. , Is a common direction (for example, in the vertical direction), the movement display from the first display position to the second display position of the pseudo movable body display Z402 is the second from the first position of the mounted movable body 401. It should be faster than moving to a position.

Further, the direction in which the mounted movable body 401 moves from the first position to the second position (downward) and the direction in which the pseudo movable body display Z402 moves from the first initial display position to the first effect display position (upward direction). And may be in different directions.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, the movement of the mounted movable body 32 and the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are not executed in a common period, but the present invention Is not limited to this, and as in the second modification, by executing the movement of the mounted movable body 401 and the movement display of the pseudo movable body display Z402 in a common period, the mounted movable body 401 and the pseudo movable body 401 are simulated. It may be possible to perform an effect using the movable body display Z402.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-42, the mounted movable body 401 as the second modification is a structure in which the characters "go" are displayed, and is the first structure above the display area of the image display device 5. It is possible to move between one position and a second position below the first position, and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R as the second modification are the first predetermined positions on the left and right sides of the display area of the image display device 5. And the second predetermined position closer to the center than the first predetermined position, and the pseudo movable body display Z402 as the second modification can display the characters of "body" and is an image display device. It is possible to move and display between the first display position at the bottom of the display area 5 and the second display position above the first display position. The detailed drive mechanism of the mounted movable body 401 and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R will not be illustrated or described.

For example, when the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect using the mounted movable bodies 401, 501L, 501R and the pseudo movable body display Z402 in the above-mentioned advance notice effects A, B, development effects A, B, etc., first, FIG. As shown in 11-42 (A), the pseudo-movable body display is shown in FIG. 11-42 (B) with the mounted movable body 401 and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R standing by at the first position. After displaying Z402 at the first display position, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (C), the pseudo movable body display Z402 is moved and displayed from the first display position to the second display position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (D), the mounted movable body 401 is moved from the first position to the second position. Then, when the mounted movable body 401 moves to a position close to the pseudo movable body display Z402 displayed at the second display position, the pseudo movable body display Z402 is moved and displayed toward the first display position. At this time, it is preferable to move and display the mounted movable body 401 on the pseudo movable body display Z 402 so that the mounted movable body 401 does not overlap.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (E), when the mounted movable body 401 moves to the second position and the pseudo movable body display Z402 moves and displays the pseudo movable body display Z402 to the first display position, the mounted movable body 401 is simulated. The closest to the movable body display Z402, a pseudo-coalescence state in which the characters "coalescence" can be recognized is obtained. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (F), while maintaining the pseudo-union state of the mounted movable body 401 and the pseudo movable body display Z402, the mounted movable body 401 is moved upward and the pseudo movable body display Z402 is displayed. By moving the display upward and further moving the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R to the second predetermined position, it is notified that the effect is developed due to the success of the pseudo-coalescence.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (G), the mounted movable body 401 and the mounted movable bodies 501L and 501R are moved to the first position and the first predetermined position, and the pseudo movable body display Z402 is set as the first display position. Is moved and displayed by dividing the image into different first specific display positions (for example, positions on the left and right sides), and then erased by frame-out or fade-out on the left and right sides of the screen.

On the other hand, when it is decided to notify that the pseudo-coalescence is not successful and the effect does not develop, as shown in FIG. 11-42 (D), the mounted movable body 401 is moved downward and pseudo-movable.

(Modification example 3)
Next, a modification 3 of the feature portion 241SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-43. 11-43 are views (A) to (C) showing a modification 3 of the feature portion 241SG.

In the feature unit 241SG, the effect control CPU 120 illustrates a mode in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 can be moved and displayed between the first display position and the second display position. The present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to one capable of reciprocating movement display in one direction such as a vertical direction or a horizontal direction. For example, the effect control CPU 120 is shown in FIGS. 11-43 ( A) As shown in (B), after the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed from the first initial display position to the first effect display position, as shown in FIG. 11-43 (C), the first It may be possible to move and display in a direction different from the direction in which the movement is displayed from the initial display position to the first effect display position.

As shown in FIG. 11-43 (C), what is a linear movement display in one direction, such as displaying only the effect display unit Z200A vertically around a rotation axis facing the left-right direction at the first effect display position? It is preferable to be able to execute various modes of movement display, such as different rotational movement displays and movement displays in a mode of moving toward another direction (for example, a depth direction) different from one direction. By doing so, it is possible to provide the player with an unexpected effect that is difficult to realize with a movable body.

Although the feature portion 241SG in the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these examples, and there are changes and additions within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. Is also included in the present invention.

(Explanation of deformation and application)
In the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which the mounted movable body 32 is applied as a movable body mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of devices other than the mounted movable body 32 are used. The movable body may be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, the frame is not limited to the board-side movable body provided on the game board 2, but may be a frame-side movable body provided on a game machine frame 3 or an opening / closing door capable of opening and closing the game machine frame 3. A pseudo movable body display that imitates a side movable body may be movable and displayed. Further, as the board-side movable body, it may be possible to display a pseudo movable body display that imitates a variable winning device provided in connection with the game.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 are applied as movable bodies that are planned to be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1 but are not mounted is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and movable bodies other than the first non-mounted movable body M100 and the second non-mounted movable body M200 are scheduled to be mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, but they are not mounted. May be good.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, when the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are erased, a mode in which the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are gradually faded out is illustrated. The effect image that emphasizes the erasure may be displayed, and the erasure may be performed by a method other than these.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, the moving distance L1 from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 to the effect display position is the movement display distance L2 from the first initial display position of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 to the first effect display position. It is shorter than that, and when the mounted movable body 32 moves and when the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed, a common effect image Z71 in which the glass is cracked and glass fragments are scattered is displayed, and is common. Although the form of outputting the effect sound has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the moving distance L1 from the origin position of the mounted movable body 32 to the effect position is set to the first of the first pseudo movable body display Z100. An effect image that is longer than the moving display distance L2 from the initial display position to the first effect display position and has a different mode depending on whether the mounted movable body 32 moves or the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed. It may be displayed and a different sound effect may be output. By doing so, it is possible to make the movement of the mounted movable body 32 stand out by utilizing the movement display of the pseudo movable body display.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, in the variable display period of the super reach, the movement of the mounted movable body 32 can be executed up to two times as the development effect A and the effect, and the movement display of the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is displayed. , The notice effect B and the determined effect can be executed up to 2 times, and the movement display of the second pseudo movable body display Z200 can be executed up to 4 times of the advance notice effect A, the advance notice effect B, the development suggestion effect, and the development effect B. Although a certain form has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of times of execution of the movement display of the movable body and the movement display of the pseudo movable body display may be executed a number of times other than the above number of times.

Further, when the movable body can be moved the first time in one variable display period, the pseudo-movable body display can be moved a second time more than the first time in one variable display period. preferable. By doing so, instead of increasing the execution opportunity of the movable body effect too much and lowering the jackpot expectation, by increasing the execution opportunity of the pseudo movable body display, the effect is reduced. It is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

In addition to the above-mentioned plurality of effects, for example, the pseudo movable body display may be moved and displayed at the time of symbol promotion in the re-lottery after the big hit confirmation notification, or during the big hit middle effect. The movable body display may be a pseudo movable body display different from the first pseudo movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo movable body display Z200.

Further, the advance notice effect A is applied as a special suggestion effect suggesting that the control is performed in an advantageous state, the development effect B is applied as a notification effect for notifying the content advantageous to the player, and the notification effect is executed. A development suggestion effect is applied as a suggestion predetermined effect, a determined effect is applied as a special effect notifying that the special effect is controlled to an advantageous state, and it is suggested that the special effect is executed before the special effect is executed. Although the embodiment in which the notice effect B is applied is illustrated as the specific effect, the present invention is not limited to this, and various effects other than the above can be applied. Further, although these various effects can be executed in the variable display period of one super reach, the effects may be executed over a plurality of variable display periods.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the contents that are advantageous for the player include pseudo-ream, big hit, small hit, reach, hold ream, chance-up effect, pre-reading notice effect, time-saving loss, ceiling time-reduction control, etc., which will be described later. , Variable display results, controls and effects may be included. Further, in the slot machine, chance zone (CZ) winning, assist time (AT) winning, replay time (RT) winning, bonus winning and the like may be included.

In this case, for example, the movable displayable range of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the movable displayable range of the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 overlap, and the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 overlaps in the overlapping area. And the second pseudo-movable body display Z200, one of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is displayed on the display layer on the front side of the other, so that they can be displayed on each other. Since it is possible to make people aware of the front-back positional relationship, it is possible to realize a more realistic production.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, it is considered that the mechanism display units Z100B and Z200B of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 are cut off at the edge of the display area of the image display device 5 and displayed. Then, the mounted movable body, the center decorative frame, or the like may be arranged so as to cover the portion where the display of the mechanism display unit of the pseudo movable body display is started in the display area of the image display device 5, or the mounted movable body may be movable. It may be difficult to visually recognize the portion where the display of the mechanical display unit of the pseudo movable body display is started by moving the body.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which "time reduction loss" is included as a display result of the variable display is illustrated, but the CPU 103 describes a predetermined condition (for example, a flag stored in the RAM 102 in the initialization process of step S6). Variable display has been performed a specified number of times (for example, 900 times, etc.) from the time when the counter or buffer is cleared, the jackpot game state is controlled, or the display result is set to be out of time. ) Based on what has been done, it may be possible to execute ceiling time reduction control that controls the time reduction state without going through the jackpot game state. The internal count of the specified number of times is reset when the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the number of time reductions in the time reduction state (for example, 900 times) by the ceiling time reduction control is the same as the number of time reductions in the normal time reduction state (for example, 100 times). May be different.

When the ceiling time reduction control as described above is executed and the number of times the variable display is executed reaches the specified number of times without satisfying the predetermined condition, the effect control CPU 120 uses the first pseudo movable body display Z100 or the second pseudo-movable body display Z100. Pseudo-movable body display The moving display of the pseudo-movable body display such as Z200 may be executable. In this way, it may be possible to execute the movement display of the pseudo movable body display in each notification such as the big hit notification, the notification of the loss of time reduction, the notification of the ceiling time reduction control, and the type and movement display of the pseudo movable body display in each notification. The mode and the like may be different.

Further, in the feature unit 241SG, a mode in which the first pseudo movable body display Z100 is moved and displayed as a notification of a big hit is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display result is a small hit or a time saving. When the ceiling time is lost or the above-mentioned ceiling time reduction control is executed, the movement display of the first pseudo-movable body display Z100 and the second pseudo-movable body display Z200 is used to notify the small hit or the time reduction and the ceiling time reduction control. On the other hand, when the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit may be notified by moving the mounted movable body 32.

In addition, depending on whether the display result of the variable display is a small hit or a short hit, or if the display result of the variable display is a big hit, a common type of pseudo-movable body display is used for notification, but the movement display is used. The mode may be different. In addition, depending on the case where the display result of the variable display is a small hit or the time reduction is off, and the case where the display result of the variable display is a big hit, the pseudo-movable body display is used to notify, but the type of the pseudo-movable body display is It may be different.

Further, the feature unit 241SG exemplifies a form in which a so-called one type of pachinko gaming machine capable of being controlled to a probabilistic state after the end of a big hit game is applied as a pachinko gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited thereto. , A so-called type 1 or 2 type of gaming machine that can be controlled to a jackpot gaming state by generating a V prize triggered by a small hit in a short time state after the jackpot game is completed, and the game playability can be changed in various ways. is there.
