Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.

In the conventional gaming machine, a meter whose display mode can be changed from level 1 to bell 4 is displayed in the image display device, and based on the display mode of the meter being level 4, a plurality of super reach Some of the reach effects are performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2015-221121

However, in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that only one of a plurality of super reach reach effects is executed based on the change of the meter display mode to level 4, and the game entertainment cannot be improved. There is.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the enjoyment of gaming.

The gaming machine of means 1 is
A gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player.
As the suggestion effect suggesting that the advantageous state is controlled, a special suggestion effect (for example, reach effect I) and a first suggestion effect (for example, a first suggestion effect) having a lower expectation of being controlled in the advantageous state than the special suggestion effect. Execute a plurality of types of suggestion effects including reach effect A), second suggestion effect (for example, reach effect B), third suggestion effect (for example, reach effect F), and fourth suggestion effect (for example, reach effect E). Possible suggestion effect execution means (for example, a portion where the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 10), and
The special development effect can be executed as the first development pattern before the effect result of the first suggestion effect is notified (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-8, in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η). In the variable display, the portion where the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed from the execution of the reach effect A), the special development after being notified that the effect of the second suggestion effect is not controlled to the advantageous state. A special development effect different from the effect can be executed as the second development pattern (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-8, in the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ, the variable display result as the effect result of the reach effect B (for example, The development effect execution means (for example, the part where the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 10), which is the part where the reach effect E development notification effect is executed after the loss) is once notified.
With
The suggestion effect execution means
When the first development pattern is executed by the development effect executing means, it is possible to execute the third suggestion effect having a higher degree of expectation than the first suggestion effect after the execution of the special development effect (for example). , As shown in FIG. 11-8, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η, the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed from the execution of the reach effect A, and the reach effect F is further executed). ,
When the second development pattern is executed by the development effect execution means, the fourth suggestion effect can be executed after the execution of the special development effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-8, super reach. In the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of ζ, the reach effect E development notification effect is executed after the variable display result (off) is once notified as the effect result of the reach effect B), and the reach effect E is further executed).
The effect period of the special development effect is longer than the effect period of the special development effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-8 and 11-9, the length of the execution period of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect). L7 is the length of the execution period of the reach effect E development notification effect longer than L6b),
The special development effect is a first effect (for example, the blackout effect shown in FIGS. 11-10 and 11-55) in which the visibility of the effect image is reduced, and an effect executed after the first effect. There is a second effect (for example, the first effect shown in FIGS. 11-10 and 11-55) in which the previous stage information is visually displayed, and an effect executed after the second effect, which is the first stage. Including a third effect (for example, the latter effect shown in FIGS. 11-10 and 11-55) in which the latter information having a higher degree of emphasis than the information is visually displayed.
A specific image suggestion effect (for example, a modification) that is different from the suggestion effect and suggests that the specific image (for example, active display) displayed during the suggestion effect is controlled to the advantageous state. A specific image suggestion effect executing means (for example, as a modified example 029SG-1) provided in the display area of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 11-57, which can execute the active display effect shown in Example 029SG-1). The display area 029SG005F is provided with a portion in which the active display is displayed in any of a plurality of display modes and the jackpot expectation is different depending on which display mode the active display is displayed in).
The specific image suggestion effect executing means can execute the common specific image suggestion effect in common in any of the different types of the suggestion effects as the specific image suggestion effect (for example, the active display is a white circle, Blue circle, red circle can be displayed),
In the first development pattern, the ratio of the common specific image suggestion effect being executed during the execution of the first suggestion effect executed before the special development effect is executed after the special development effect is executed. It is lower than the ratio at which the common specific image suggestion effect is executed during the execution of the third suggestion effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-58 as a modified example 029SG-1, variable display is performed as the effect result of the reach effect A. In the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η in which the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed and the reach effect F is executed before the result is notified, the active display is displayed during the execution of the reach effect A. The rate at which the aspect changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape P2 shows that the active display mode changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape during the execution of the reach effect F. The rate of change to (the part lower than P3),
The ratio of the common specific image suggestion effect being executed during the execution of the third suggestion effect, which is executed after the special development effect is executed in the first development pattern, is the ratio of the special development effect being executed in the second development pattern. Is higher than the rate at which the common specific image suggestion effect is executed during the execution of the fourth suggestion effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-58 as a modification 029SG-1). The rate P3 at which the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape during execution of the reach effect F in the variable display of the variation pattern of the reach η is the effect result of the reach effect B. The display mode of the active display during the execution of the reach effect E in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ in which the reach effect E development notification effect is executed and the reach effect E is further executed after the variable display result (off) is notified. The rate at which is changed from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape is higher than P1),
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, in the case where the fourth suggestion effect is executed after the execution of the special development effect, the period until the notification that the special development effect is controlled is excessively lengthened, which is a hobby of the game. The decrease can be suppressed. Further, when the first suggestion effect is executed and the third suggestion effect is executed, the player may execute the third suggestion effect by executing the specific image suggestion effect before the start of the special development effect. It is possible to reduce the possibility of being recognized in advance, and in the third suggestion effect and the fourth suggestion effect, the common specific image suggestion effect is appropriately executed according to the degree of expectation, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

The present invention may have only the invention-specific matters described in the claims of the present invention, and has a configuration other than the invention-specific matters together with the invention-specific matters described in the claims of the present invention. It may be a thing.

(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), 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, a decorative symbol (a symbol indicating a number or the like) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbol is synchronized with the first special figure game or the second special figure game. 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, for example, a first starting winning opening that is always maintained in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the first special figure game may be started.

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

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

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

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

When a game ball enters the large prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as 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. An 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.

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

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

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 display monitor 29 and the display changeover switch 31 are arranged in front of the main board 11 when the back side of the game board 2 is visually recognized with the gaming machine frame 3 open.

The display monitor 29 can display winning information such as a continuous ratio, a combination ratio, and a base. The ream ratio is the ratio of the number of prize balls by winning a prize to the big prize opening (attacker) to the total number of prize balls. The role ratio is the ratio of the number of prize balls by winning the second starting winning opening (Denchu) and the number of winning balls by winning the big winning opening (attacker) to the total number of prize balls. The base is the ratio of the total number of prize balls to the number of game balls launched. The display monitor 29 can display the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the setting is changed or the setting is confirmed. The display monitor 29 may be capable of displaying a setting value or the like to be changed or confirmed when the setting is changed or the setting is confirmed.

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

(Outline of 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 number (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 open upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the maximum number of times (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

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

A jackpot type is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc.) 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, such as the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as (when the process is not executed).

The state in which the probability change control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which the probability change control is not executed is also called a low probability state. The state in which the time saving control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time saving control is not executed is also called a low base state. By combining these, it is also called a low-accuracy high-base state in the time-saving state, a high-accuracy high-base state in the probabilistic state, and a low-accuracy low-base state in the normal 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 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 game 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 pattern becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability big hit" 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 that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution, and a pre-reading advance notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the pre-reading notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

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

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

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

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

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

(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, it 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 hit". The execution of the normal figure game is performed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the number of normal figure reservations is displayed by turning on the normal figure hold display 25C.

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

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning 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 processing for setting the special symbol to be changed in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol are performed. 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 open the big winning opening by starting the execution of the round in the big hit game state based on the display result being "big hit". It has been. When the large winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, the upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit number of executions for the round are set according to which type of jackpot is used. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing ends.

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

The post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-opening process of the jackpot, a process of determining whether or not the number of executions of the round that opens the jackpot has reached the set upper limit execution number, and a jackpot game state when the upper limit execution number 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 setting 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. The case where the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the gaming state is a normal state or a 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 number 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. The case where the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the gaming state is a normal state or a 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. When 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). go.

Further, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit judgment values determines the time saving 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 65535, with 65317 as the reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) set in the previous term. 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, the jackpot judgment value is within the range obtained by adding the non-common numerical range to the common numerical range. 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). 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 the "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). go.

Further, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the gaming 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 setting value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from the time-saving loss reference value of 65317 in any setting value, it can be displayed in a variable manner. 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 production 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 movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

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

Further, on the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt disabled, but if a CPU that is not automatically interrupt disabled is used, an interrupt occurs. It is desirable to 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 emitting body such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a movable body 32. Controls are performed to operate various production devices such as the driving operation of the LED. Further, regarding the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control command or the like transmitted from the main board 11.

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

FIG. 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 movable body 32, outputting voice and sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting the command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13, and commanding the lamp control board 14 (illumination signal). Various effect controls are executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED according to the output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or a command is received from the main board 11 to specify that the fixed decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, the final decorative symbol, which is the display result of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the effect process during variable display ends.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command that specifies to start the big hit game state 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 processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the 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”.

The gaming machine according to the first aspect of the invention 029SG is
A gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player.
As the suggestion effect suggesting that the advantageous state is controlled, a special suggestion effect (for example, reach effect I) and a first suggestion effect (for example, a first suggestion effect) having a lower expectation of being controlled in the advantageous state than the special suggestion effect. Execute a plurality of types of suggestion effects including reach effect A), second suggestion effect (for example, reach effect B), third suggestion effect (for example, reach effect F), and fourth suggestion effect (for example, reach effect E). Possible suggestion effect execution means (for example, a portion where the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 10), and
The special development effect can be executed as the first development pattern before the effect result of the first suggestion effect is notified (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-8, in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η). In the variable display, the portion where the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed from the execution of the reach effect A), the special development after being notified that the effect of the second suggestion effect is not controlled to the advantageous state. A special development effect different from the effect can be executed as the second development pattern (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-8, in the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ, the variable display result as the effect result of the reach effect B (for example, The development effect execution means (for example, the part where the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 10), which is the part where the reach effect E development notification effect is executed after the loss) is once notified.

When the second development pattern is executed by the development effect execution means, the fourth suggestion effect can be executed after the execution of the special development effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-8, super reach. In the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of ζ, the reach effect E development notification effect is executed after the variable display result (off) is once notified as the effect result of the reach effect B), and the reach effect E is further executed).
The effect period of the special development effect is longer than the effect period of the special development effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-8 and 11-9, the length of the execution period of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect). L7 is the length of the execution period of the reach effect E development notification effect longer than L6b),
The special development effect is a first effect (for example, the blackout effect shown in FIGS. 11-10 and 11-55) in which the visibility of the effect image is reduced, and an effect executed after the first effect. There is a second effect (for example, the first effect shown in FIGS. 11-10 and 11-55) in which the previous stage information is visually displayed, and an effect executed after the second effect, which is the first stage. Including a third effect (for example, the latter effect shown in FIGS. 11-10 and 11-55) in which the latter information having a higher degree of emphasis than the information is visually displayed.
Rather than the period from the execution of the special development effect to the notification that the special development effect is controlled to the advantageous state, the period from the execution of the special development effect to the notification that the control to the advantageous state is performed. The period is shorter (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11-8 and 11-9, the period from the start timing of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect I (notification timing of the variable display result). The length L13 and the length L12 of the period from the start timing of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect F are the reach effect E development notification effect start timing to the reach effect E end timing ( The length of the period until the notification timing of the variable display result) is set longer than L11),
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, when the fourth suggestion effect is executed after the execution of the special development effect, the period until the notification that the special development effect is controlled is excessively lengthened, which is a hobby of the game.

FIG. 11-1 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the feature unit 029SG. 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. 11-1 (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. 11-1 (A), the command 8001H is a first variable display start command for designating the start of 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 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. 11-1 (B), the determination result (predetermined result) of whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "missing" or "big hit". ) Or, different EXT data are set according to the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is set when the variable display result is "big hit".

In the variable display result designation command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-1 (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 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 in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to, for example, the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, the command 9500H is used as the first game state specification command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is executed by the time saving control. On the other hand, it is a second game state specification command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, time saving state) in which probability change control is not performed. Further, the command 9502H is set as the third game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time saving no probability change state) in which the time saving control is performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is set as the time saving control and probability change. This is the fourth game state specification command corresponding to the game state (high accuracy high base state, time reduction probability change state) in which control is performed together.

The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") for designating the display of an effect image indicating the start of the jackpot 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 jackpot game.

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 open big hit state and the high-speed open big hit state, which will be described later, is supported. 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 C4XXXH and the command C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result designation commands) indicating the contents of the winning determination result. Of these, the command C4XXH is a symbol designation command that indicates whether or not the variable display result is a "big hit" and the big hit type (probability change or non-probability change) as a winning determination result. Further, the command C6XXH is a variation category command indicating a determination result of whether the random value for determining the variation pattern is a variation pattern of "non-reach", "super reach", or "other" as the determination result at the time of winning. Is.

The commands shown in FIG. 11-1 (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. 11-2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random number value counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 11-2, in the feature unit 029SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern , Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the display result of the general map is controlled so as to be countable. In addition, a random number value other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data indicating a part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 029SG154, and updates various numerical data by software to update the random number values MR1 to MR4. Numerical data indicating the part 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. 11-3 shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. The feature unit 029SG uses a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The first special figure and the second special figure may use individual special figure display result determination tables.

The special figure display result determination table 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, it is referred to to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. It is a table to be played.

In the special figure display result determination table in the feature unit 029SG, the special figure display result determination table is characterized according to whether the gaming state in 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 figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing".

In the special figure display result judgment table, 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 to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit game state. It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in the feature unit 029SG, when the game state is the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values are set than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). It is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probability change state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the big hit game state when it is in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Then, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state is higher than the probability of being determined (about 1/300 in the main feature unit 029SG) (about 1 in the main feature unit 029SG). / 30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, 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 is high.

FIG. 11-4 (A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in the feature unit 029SG is based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit". It is a table referenced to determine the crab. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "probability variation jackpot B" and "probability variation jackpot C".

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 029SG will be described with reference to FIG. 11-4 (B). In the feature unit 029SG, the jackpot type includes high accuracy control and time saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming 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. .. The jackpot game state by the "probability variation jackpot C" is a normal open jackpot in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state which is advantageous for 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, "Probability change jackpot A" is called 10 rounds (10R) probability variation jackpot, "Probability variation jackpot B" is called 5 rounds (5R) probability variation jackpot, and "Probability variation jackpot C" is called 2 rounds (2R) probability variation jackpot. It may be called.

The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probabilistic jackpot A to the probabilistic jackpot C are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the jackpot that occurs again is any of the probability variation jackpot A to the probability variation jackpot C, 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 is in the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state where it occurs continuously without intervention.

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 this feature unit 029SG), 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. 11-4 (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. In the case of Therefore, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined to control the jackpot type to the jackpot state with a small number of rounds as "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C". Due to the high opening control, in the game state in which the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequent occurrence of the big hit state in which the number of winning balls obtained is small is avoided, and the game interest is reduced. It is designed to prevent this.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-4 (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. 11-5 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 029SG. In this feature unit 029SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is variable according to each of the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach". A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to the case where the display result is a "big 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. Although the feature unit 029SG is provided with one type of normal reach variation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of normal reach variation patterns may be provided. Further, in this feature unit 029SG, as super reach fluctuation patterns, super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, super reach δ, super reach ε, super reach ζ, super reach η, super reach θ, super reach ι, super Although 11 types of variation patterns of reach κ and super reach λ are provided, the present invention is not limited to this, and 12 or more or 10 or less types of super reach variation patterns may be provided.

The super reach fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 029SG is a fluctuation pattern (PA2-2) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) in which the variable display result is a big hit as the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α, and the super reach β. A fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern, and a fluctuation pattern (PB1-4) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern of super reach γ. ), A fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) in which the variable display result is out of alignment as the fluctuation pattern of super reach δ, and a fluctuation pattern in which the variable display result is out of alignment as the fluctuation pattern of super reach ε. Fluctuation pattern (PA2-6), fluctuation pattern (PA2-7) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-5) in which the variable display result is a big hit as the fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ, and the fluctuation pattern of super reach η. A fluctuation pattern (PA2-8) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-6) in which the variable display result is a big hit, and a fluctuation pattern (PB1-7) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ. The deviation pattern (PA2-9), the fluctuation pattern (PA2-10) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-8) in which the variable display result is a big hit as the fluctuation pattern of super reach ι, and the fluctuation pattern of super reach κ A fluctuation pattern (PA2-11) that is different from the fluctuation pattern (PB1-9) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern, and a fluctuation pattern (PB1-10) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ. ) Is provided with a fluctuation pattern (PA2-12) that is different from the above.

As shown in FIG. 11-5, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 029SG is set shorter than that of the super reach fluctuation pattern.

In addition, in this feature unit 029SG, since the jackpot expectation that the variable display result becomes "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach is set to be high, the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern are set. With some exceptions, the longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

In particular, the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach β fluctuation pattern is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach α fluctuation pattern, and the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach γ fluctuation pattern is that of the super reach β fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation time is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time, and the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach δ fluctuation pattern is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach γ fluctuation pattern, and the special figure of the super reach ε fluctuation pattern is set. The fluctuation time is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach δ fluctuation pattern, and the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach ε fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation time of the super reach η fluctuation pattern is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern, and the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach θ fluctuation pattern is the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach η fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation time is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time, and the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach ι fluctuation pattern is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach θ fluctuation pattern, and the special figure of the super reach κ fluctuation pattern is set. The fluctuation time is set longer than the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach fluctuation pattern.

Of these super reach α fluctuation patterns to super reach κ fluctuation patterns, the super reach δ fluctuation pattern and the super reach ε fluctuation pattern are not provided with fluctuation patterns in which the variable display result is a big hit. That is, regarding these super reach α fluctuation patterns to super reach κ fluctuation patterns, the super reach α fluctuation pattern has the shortest special figure fluctuation time and the fluctuation pattern excluding the super reach δ fluctuation pattern and the super reach ε fluctuation pattern. The jackpot expectation is set low, and the jackpot expectation is set to increase as the special figure fluctuation time becomes longer.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, a super reach λ fluctuation pattern is provided as a super reach fluctuation pattern having a higher expectation of a big hit than the super reach κ fluctuation pattern. The super reach λ fluctuation pattern is exceptionally set so that the special figure fluctuation time is longer than the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern and shorter than the super reach η fluctuation pattern.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined using only the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided, and the type of the variation pattern is first determined from these random values for determining the variation pattern type. The variation pattern belonging to the determined type may be determined.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-7 (A), the super reach α fluctuation pattern (PA2-2, PB1-2) has a length of execution period as a reach effect of super reach during variable display. Is a variation pattern in which the reach effect A of L1 is executed and the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect A. As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-7 (B), the super reach β fluctuation pattern (PA2-3, PB1-3) has an execution period length of L2 as a super reach reach effect during variable display. This is a variation pattern in which the reach effect B of (L2> L1) is executed and the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect B.

As shown in FIGS. 11-7 (A) and 11-7 (B), the super reach α fluctuation pattern and the super reach β fluctuation pattern are from the variable display start timing to the end timing of the reach effect (notification of the variable display result). It is also a variation pattern in which a meter effect that suggests the execution of a high-expectation reach effect development notification effect can be executed over the timing). As described above, since the length L2 of the execution period of the reach effect B is set to be longer than the length L1 of the execution period of the reach effect A, the meter effect executable period in the super reach β fluctuation pattern is set. The length L5 is set to be longer than the length L4 of the meter effect executable period in the super reach α fluctuation pattern (L5> L4).

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-7 (C), the super reach γ fluctuation pattern (PA2-4, PB1-4) has a reach effect C or a reach effect D as a reach effect of the super reach during variable display. Is executed, and the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C or the reach effect D. The execution period of both the reach effect C and the reach effect D is set to the length L3. Further, in the super reach γ fluctuation pattern, the reach effect H is further executed after the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D during the execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D. Which of the reach effect H development notification effect for notifying is executed and the high expectation reach effect development notification effect for notifying that either the reach effect F or the reach effect I is executed (which notification is executed). It is also a variation pattern that can execute the branch destination suggestion effect that suggests (whether to branch to the effect).

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-7 (D), the super reach δ fluctuation pattern (PA2-5) has a reach effect B having an execution period of L2 as a reach effect of super reach during variable display. Is executed to notify that the variable display result is out of order, and then the reach effect E development suggestion effect that suggests the development to the reach effect E can be executed (reach effect E development suggestion effect executable period length: L6a). This is a fluctuation pattern that does not eventually develop into the reach effect E and notifies the deviation. As with the super reach β fluctuation pattern, the super reach δ fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation in which the meter effect can be executed from the start timing of the variable display to the end timing of the reach effect (length of the meter effect executable period: L5). It is also a pattern, and the length L5 of the meter effect executable period is set longer than the length L6a of the reach effect E development suggestion effect executable period.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-8 (E), the super reach ε fluctuation pattern (PA2-6) has a reach effect C or a reach effect D (either reach) as the reach effect of the super reach during the variable display. It is possible to execute the reach effect G development suggestion effect that suggests the development to the reach effect G after notifying that the variable display result is out of alignment by executing L3) for the length of the effect execution period, and finally the reach. It is a fluctuation pattern that notifies the deviation without developing into the production G. Further, the super reach ε fluctuation pattern is also a fluctuation pattern in which the branch destination suggestion effect can be executed during the execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-8 (F), the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern (PA2-7, PB1-5) has an execution period length of L2 as a super reach reach effect during variable display. Reach effect E development notification effect (reach effect E development notification effect) that can execute the reach effect E development suggestion effect after executing the reach effect B of Reach effect E This is a variation pattern in which the reach effect E is executed after the length of the execution period of the development notification effect: L6b) is executed. The super reach ζ fluctuation pattern is also a fluctuation pattern in which the meter effect can be executed (the length of the meter effect executable period: L5) from the start timing of the variable display to the end timing of the reach effect B. The length L5 of the meter effect feasible period is set to be longer than the length L6a of the reach effect E development suggestion effect feasible period. The length L6b of the execution period of the reach effect E development notification effect is set shorter than the length L5 of the meter effect executable period. Further, in the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern, the length of the period from the start timing of the reach effect E development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect E (notification timing of the variable display result) is set to L11.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-8 (G), the super reach η fluctuation pattern (PA2-8, PB1-6) executes the reach effect A as the reach effect of the super reach during the variable display. A high expectation reach effect that notifies that the reach effect A will be replaced with a reach effect with a high expectation of a big hit (reach effect F or reach effect I, which will be described later in the case of this feature unit) from the middle of the reach effect A. This is a variation pattern in which the development notification effect is executed over L7 (L7> L6b), which is longer than the length L6b of the execution period of the reach effect E development notification effect, and the reach effect F is further executed. As for the super reach η fluctuation pattern, the meter effect can be executed from the start timing of the variable display to the timing when the reach effect A switches to the high expectation reach effect development notification effect (reach effect A has a high expectation reach in the middle). Since the effect is switched to the effect development notification effect, the length of the meter effect enablement period is also a fluctuation pattern of L4'), which is shorter than L4. Further, in the super reach η fluctuation pattern, the length of the period from the start timing of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect F (notification timing of the variable display result) is the reach effect in the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern. The length of the period from the start timing of the E development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect E is set to L12 (L12> L11), which is longer than L11.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-8 (H), the super reach θ fluctuation pattern (PA2-9, PB1-7) has a reach effect C or a reach effect D as a reach effect of the super reach during variable display. (The length of the execution period of any of the reach effects is also L3), and after notifying that the variable display result is out of order in the reach effects C or the reach effects D, the reach effect G development suggestion effect can be executed. Further, the reach effect G development notification effect that notifies the development of the reach effect G is executed over L8 (L7> L8), which is shorter than the length L7 of the execution period of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect. Then, it is a variation pattern that further executes the reach effect G. Further, the super reach θ fluctuation pattern is also a fluctuation pattern capable of executing the branch destination suggestion effect during the execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-9 (I), the super reach ι variation pattern (PA2-10, PB1-8) has a reach effect C or a reach effect D as a reach effect of the super reach during variable display. Is executed, and the advance effect and the precursor effect are executed in place of the reach effect C or the reach effect D from the middle of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, and the reach effect H development notification is notified that the reach effect H is further developed. This is a variation pattern in which the effect is executed and the reach effect H is executed. Further, the super reach ι fluctuation pattern is also a fluctuation pattern in which the branch destination suggestion effect can be executed during the execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D.

As shown in FIGS. 11-5 and 11-9 (J), the super reach κ fluctuation pattern (PA2-11, PB1-9) has a reach effect C or a reach effect D as a reach effect of the super reach during variable display. Is executed, and the pre-effect and the precursor effect are executed in place of the reach effect C or the reach effect D from the middle of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, and the high expectation reach effect development with the execution period length of L7. This is a variation pattern in which the notification effect is executed and the reach effect I is executed. Further, the super reach κ fluctuation pattern is also a fluctuation pattern in which the branch destination suggestion effect can be executed during the execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D. Further, in the super reach κ fluctuation pattern, the length of the period from the start timing of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect I (notification timing of the variable display result) is highly expected in the super reach η fluctuation pattern. The length of the period from the start timing of the reach effect development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect F is set to L13 (L13> L12> L11), which is longer than L12.

The super reach λ fluctuation pattern (PA2-12, PB1-10) is a highly expected reach production development in which the length of the execution period is L7 from the timing before the reach in the fluctuation pattern of other super reach during the variable display. This is a variation pattern in which the notification effect is executed and the reach effect I is executed. In addition, the super reach λ fluctuation pattern can execute the meter effect from the start timing of the variable display to the start timing of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect (high expectation reach effect development notification from the timing before the reach). Since the effect is executed, the length of the meter effect executable period is also a variation pattern of L4'': L4> L4'> L4''), which is shorter than L4'). Further, in the super reach λ fluctuation pattern, the length of the period from the start timing of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect to the end timing of the reach effect I (notification timing of the variable display result) is L13 (L13), which is the same as the super reach κ. > L12> L11).

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 11-10 (A) and 11-10 (B), as the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect in the feature unit 029SG, the display area of the image display device 5 is darkened. A blackout effect that makes it difficult to see the effect image displayed on the image display device 5, a pre-stage effect that displays a front line on the image display device 5 after the blackout effect, and a switching effect after the pre-stage effect. After the switching effect, the image display device 5 displays the rear-stage effect, and after the post-stage effect, the movable body 32 is moved from the origin position above the image display device 5 to the front surface of the display area of the image display device 5. A movable body effect that drops (moves) to an effect position that overlaps with a substantially central position is executed.

In the first stage effect, as shown in FIGS. 11-10 (B) and 11-55, the dialogue content spoken by the character displayed on the image display device 5 is displayed as a character image 029SG007 in the display area of the image display device 5. At the same time, it is an effect of outputting as audio information from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In the latter stage effect, as shown in FIGS. 11-10 (B) and 11-55, following the first stage effect, the dialogue content spoken by the character is displayed as a character image 029SG008 in the display area of the image display device 5. This is an effect of outputting as audio information from the speakers 8L and 8R.

As shown in FIG. 11-10 (B), the dialogue of the first stage production is "I'm not alone ... I'll show everyone's power!", And the dialogue of the second stage production is "Miracle Attack!".

More specifically, the first stage production is composed of a first period and a second period. In the first period, the words "I'm not alone ..." are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and at the same time. In the display area of the image display device 5, the seven characters of "not one person ..." are displayed. Then, in the second period, the lines of "I will show everyone's power!" Are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and at the same time, in the display area of the image display device 5, the 12 of "I will show everyone's power!" The letters are displayed below the letters "I'm not alone ...". Further, the latter stage production is also composed of a first period and a second period. In the first period, the lines of "Miracle" are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and in the display area of the image display device 5. The four characters of the "miracle" are displayed. Then, in the second period, the lines of "Attack!" Are output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the five characters of "Attack!" Are below the characters of "Miracle" in the display area of the image display device 5. Is displayed.

That is, in the first stage effect and the second stage effect in the feature unit 029SG, the number of characters displayed in the first period of the first stage effect is larger than the number of characters displayed in the first period of the second stage effect, and the first stage effect is the first. The number of characters displayed in the two periods is larger than the number of characters displayed in the second period of the subsequent production.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-10 (B), the display mode of the dialogue in the first stage production and the display mode of the dialogue in the second stage production are different. In particular, the dialogue in the second stage production is the display of the dialogue in the first stage production. It is displayed in a display mode in which the degree of emphasis is higher than that of the mode.

For example, in the first stage effect, the background screen and the character image of the image display device 5 are displayed in a dark manner, and the character image 029SG007 composed of a plurality of characters (for example, "not one person ...") is gradually displayed in the first period. The character image 029SG007, which is displayed in a large and bright mode (fade-in) and then consists of a plurality of characters (for example, "I will show everyone's power!"), Is gradually enlarged and bright in the second period. It is displayed in the following mode (fade-in). In addition, the character image 029SG007 (for example, "I'm not alone ... I'll show you the power of everyone!") Is displayed in the largest and brightest form, and then gradually becomes smaller and darker (fade out). And eventually disappear. The character image 029SG007 may be moved while fading in or out.

On the other hand, in the latter stage effect, the background screen of the image display device 5 is displayed in a brighter manner than in the first stage effect, and a plurality of character images 029SG008 consisting of one character (for example, "mi", "la", "ku", and "ru"). ) Is displayed (dynamically displayed) so as to move while rotating from the right side of the display screen toward the center in order in the first period (for example, a plurality of character images 029SG008 consisting of one character (for example,). "A", "Ta", "T", "K", "!") Are displayed (frame-in) so that they move from the bottom of the display screen toward the center while rotating (frame-in) in the second period. Will be done. Further, after these character images 029SG008 (for example, "Miracle Attack!") Are the largest and are displayed brightly, they move so as to spread radially toward the surroundings and finally disappear from the display screen. It is displayed in the mode (frame out).

As shown in FIG. 11-10 (B), the character image 029SG007 of the previous stage effect is small, flat (two-dimensional), slow in movement (change speed of display mode due to fade-in), and displayed with low brightness. .. On the other hand, the character image 029SG008 of the latter stage effect is larger and three-dimensional (three-dimensional) than the character image 029SG007 of the first stage effect, and the movement (change speed (movement speed) of the display mode due to frame-in) is fast and has high brightness. It is displayed (see FIGS. 11-55).

If the maximum size and brightness of the character image 029SG008 in the second stage production is larger than the maximum size and brightness of the character image 029SG007 in the first stage production, and if it is brighter, the character image at the time of fade-in or frame-in. The size and brightness of a part of the above may be reversed. Further, although the dialogue contents are different between the first stage production and the second stage production, at least a part of the contents may be common.

In this way, the larger the size of the character image that composes the dialogue, the higher the degree of emphasis, the more three-dimensional the form is, the higher the emphasis is, and the faster the movement is, the higher the emphasis is. It can be said that the higher the brightness is, the higher the emphasis is. In the above description, the size, form, movement, and brightness of the character image in the latter stage effect are more emphasized than in the first stage effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the latter stage effect is not limited to this. It suffices that the degree of emphasis of at least one element of the size, form, movement, and brightness of the character image of is higher than that of the character image of the previous stage effect. In addition to the above, for example, the degree of emphasis includes those in which the thickness of characters is higher in thicker characters than in thinner characters, and in terms of color, those with higher saturation and lightness are higher. May be good. Further, not only the display mode of the character image itself but also a special image such as an effect image may be displayed around the character image to increase the degree of emphasis.

FIG. 11-6 is an explanatory diagram of a method of determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 029SG. In this feature unit 029SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-6, when the variable display result is a big hit, the jackpot variation pattern determination table is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 using the jackpot variation pattern determination table. (Normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-2 (Super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-3 (Super reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-4 (Super reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern), PB1-5 (Variation pattern of super reach ζ jackpot), PB1-6 (Variation pattern of super reach η jackpot), PB1-7 (Variation pattern of super reach θ jackpot), PB1-8 (Variation pattern of super reach ι jackpot), PB1 It is determined from -9 (fluctuation pattern of super reach κ jackpot) and PB1-10 (fluctuation pattern of super reach λ jackpot).

When determining the fluctuation pattern using the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table, set the determination ratio of PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern) to the lowest value, and set PB1-2 (super reach α jackpot fluctuation pattern). , PB1-3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach β jackpot), PB1-4 (fluctuation pattern of super reach γ jackpot), PB1-5 (fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ jackpot), PB1-6 (variation of super reach η jackpot) Pattern), PB1-7 (fluctuation pattern of super reach θ jackpot), PB1-8 (variation pattern of super reach ι jackpot), PB1-9 (variation pattern of super reach κ jackpot), PB1-10 (fluctuation pattern of super reach λ jackpot) The determination rate may be increased in the order of (variation pattern of) (determination rate of each super reach variation pattern when the jackpot variation pattern determination table is selected: PB1-2 <PB1-3 <PB1-4 <PB1-5 < PB1-6 <PB1-7 <PB1-8 <PB1-9 <PB1-10).

In the feature unit 029SG, if the variable display result is a big hit, the same big hit variation pattern determination table is used to determine the variation pattern regardless of the jackpot type. A plurality of jackpot fluctuation pattern determination tables having different determination ratios of any one of PB1-1, PB1-2, and PB1-3 are provided, and at least two or more jackpot fluctuation pattern determination ratios are different. A plurality of jackpot fluctuation pattern determination tables may be provided, and fluctuation patterns may be determined using different jackpot fluctuation pattern determination tables according to the jackpot type. By doing so, it is possible to create a variation pattern that is easy to determine for each jackpot type, so that the player can pay attention to which variation pattern variable display results in a jackpot. You can improve your game interests.

If the variable display result is "off" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved storages 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. -3 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach β off), PA2-4 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach γ off), PA2-5 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach δ off), PA2-6 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach ε out of line) , PA2-7 (fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ outlier), PA2-8 (fluctuation pattern of super reach η outlier), PA2-9 (fluctuation pattern of super reach θ outlier), PA2-10 (fluctuation of outlier of super reach ι) (Pattern), PA2-11 (fluctuation pattern of super reach κ deviation), PA2-12 (fluctuation pattern of super reach λ outlier).

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 for use, 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), PA2. -3 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach β off), PA2-4 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach γ off), PA2-5 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach δ off), PA2-6 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach ε out of line) , PA2-7 (fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ outlier), PA2-8 (fluctuation pattern of super reach η outlier), PA2-9 (fluctuation pattern of super reach θ outlier), PA2-10 (fluctuation of outlier of super reach ι) (Pattern), PA2-11 (fluctuation pattern of super reach κ deviation), PA2-12 (variation pattern of super reach λ outlier).

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 deviation is selected and the deviation is achieved. Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C for use, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α loss), PA2. -3 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach β off), PA2-4 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach γ off), PA2-5 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach δ off), PA2-6 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach ε out of line) , PA2-7 (fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ outlier), PA2-8 (fluctuation pattern of super reach η outlier), PA2-9 (fluctuation pattern of super reach θ outlier), PA2-10 (fluctuation of outlier of super reach ι) (Pattern), PA2-11 (fluctuation pattern of super reach κ deviation), PA2-12 (fluctuation pattern of super reach λ outlier).

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), PA2 -4 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach γ outlier), PA2-5 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach δ outlier), PA2-6 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach ε outlier), PA2-7 (Fluctuation pattern of Super Reach ζ outlier) , PA2-8 (fluctuation pattern of super reach η outlier), PA2-9 (fluctuation pattern of super reach θ outlier), PA2-10 (fluctuation pattern of super reach ι outlier), PA2-11 (variation of super reach κ outlier) Pattern) and PA2-12 (fluctuation pattern out of super reach λ).

That is, when the variable display result is "off" in the feature unit 029SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display is executed at a high rate due to the shortening fluctuation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4) whose fluctuation time is shorter than the normal non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1). While preventing the game from being delayed, it is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit.

When the variation pattern is determined using the deviation pattern determination tables A to D, the non-reach deviation pattern (PA1-1 for the deviation pattern determination table A and the deviation pattern determination table B) If it is, PA1-2, if it is the deviation pattern determination table C, it is PA1-3, if it is the deviation pattern determination table D, it is PA1-4), and PA2-1 (normal reach is lost). Fluctuation pattern of δ out-of-range fluctuation pattern), PA2-6 (super reach ε out-of-order fluctuation pattern), PA2-7 (super reach ζ out-of-range fluctuation pattern), PA2-8 (super reach η out-of-range fluctuation pattern), PA2-9 ( Super reach θ out-of-range fluctuation pattern), PA2-10 (super reach ι out-of-range fluctuation pattern), PA2-11 (super reach κ out-of-range fluctuation pattern), PA2-12 (super reach λ out-of-range fluctuation pattern) determined in this order The ratio may be set to be low (determination ratio of each super reach variation pattern when the outlier variation pattern determination table is selected: PA2-12 <PA2-11 <PA2-10 <PA2-9 <PA2-8 <PA2-7. <PA2-6 <PA2-5 <PA2-4 <PA2-3 <PA2-2).

By setting the determination ratio of each fluctuation pattern in each fluctuation pattern judgment table as described above, the jackpot expectation of the super reach α fluctuation pattern is set to the lowest for the super reach fluctuation pattern, and the super reach β fluctuation is set. The jackpot expectation of the pattern is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the super reach α fluctuation pattern, and the jackpot expectation of the super reach γ fluctuation pattern is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the super reach β fluctuation pattern. The jackpot expectation of the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the super reach γ fluctuation pattern, and the jackpot expectation of the super reach η fluctuation pattern is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the super reach ζ fluctuation pattern. The jackpot expectation of the super reach θ fluctuation pattern is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the super reach η fluctuation pattern, and the jackpot expectation of the super reach ι fluctuation pattern is the jackpot expectation of the super reach θ fluctuation pattern. The jackpot expectation of the super reach κ fluctuation pattern is set higher than the jackpot expectation of the super reach ι fluctuation pattern, and the jackpot expectation of the super reach λ fluctuation pattern is the super reach κ fluctuation pattern. It is set higher than the jackpot expectation of. As for the super reach δ fluctuation pattern and the super reach ε fluctuation pattern, as described above, only the fluctuation pattern when the variable display result is out of alignment is provided, so that the jackpot expectation is 0.

Further, in the start winning command buffer 029SG194A of the feature unit 029SG, the determination of the display pattern accompanying the determination of whether or not the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed in the pre-reading advance notice setting process (FIG. 11-20) is undecided. Whether or not, that is, when a new start prize is generated, a flag value is set according to the start opening prize designation command, the symbol designation command, the variable category designation command, and the display pattern (display mode) of the hold storage display. A storage area is secured for each storage area (entry) so that the flag and the flag can be stored in association with each buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage and the second special figure hold storage.

In the hold display flag, "0" corresponding to the display pattern of the normal hold storage display is stored when the execution of the look-ahead notice effect is not determined in the look-ahead notice setting process described later. As a result, the hold storage display in the normal display mode (for example, white circle) is displayed in the first hold storage display area 029SG5D and the second hold storage display area 029SG5U provided in the lower part of the image display device 5, and the first is displayed. When it is decided to execute the reading notice effect, "1" (blue circle) corresponding to the display pattern of the hold memory display in a special mode (for example, blue circle or red circle) different from the normal display mode. ) Or "2" (red circle) is set, the reserved storage display in a special mode different from the normal display mode is displayed in the first reserved storage display area 029SG5D and the second reserved storage display area 029SG5U. In the variable display corresponding to the hold memory display, it is foretold that there is a high possibility of a big hit or a super reach.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the command at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening from the beginning (the entry with the youngest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 029SG194A. Then, at the time of the start winning to the second start winning opening, the command is stored from the beginning (the entry with the youngest buffer number) in the free entry corresponding to the second special figure hold storage of the start winning command buffer 029SG194A. go. 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 start winning command buffer 029SG194A shown in FIG. 11-13 (B) is an entry (buffer) corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display that ended immediately before each time the variable display of the decorative symbol was started. The entry (entry with the number "1-0" or "2-0") is deleted, and the entry corresponding to the hold storage of the variable display to be started (buffer number "1-1" or "2") is deleted. The stored contents of the entries after the hold storage of the variable display to be started are shifted from those stored in the entry corresponding to -1 ”. For example, when the variable display of the decorative symbol of the first special figure hold storage is completed in the stored state shown in FIG. 11-13 (B), each command stored in the buffer number "0" is deleted and the buffer number is deleted. Each command stored in "1" is shifted to the buffer number "0", and each command stored in the area corresponding to the buffer number "2" is moved to the area corresponding to the buffer number "1". Each command that is shifted and stored in the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "3" and "4" is shifted to the area corresponding to the buffer numbers "2" and "3". 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.

Next, the start winning determination process of the feature unit 029SG executed in step S101 of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-14. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting port switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether or not it is in a state (step 029SGS101a). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is in the ON state (step 029SGS101a; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 029SGS102). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 029SG154. When the number of reserved first special figure is not the upper limit value in step 029SGS102 (step 029SGS102; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 029SG155 is set to "1" (step 029SGS102; N). Step 029 SGS103).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 029SGS101a (step 029SGS101a; N) or when the first special figure reserved storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 029SGS102 (step 029SGS102; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is in the ON state ( Step 029SGS101b). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is in the ON state (step 029SGS101b; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the second special figure, is the predetermined upper limit. It is determined whether or not it is a value (for example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 029SGS105). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 029SG154. When the second special figure hold storage number is not the upper limit value in step 029SGS105 (step 029SGS105; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 029SG155 is set to "2" (step 029SGS105; N). Step 029 SGS106).

After executing any of the processes of step 029SGS103 and step 029SGS106, the number of special figure hold storages corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the stored value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step 029SGS107). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first hold memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step 029SGS108). For example, the total hold storage count value, which is the stored value of the total hold storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 029SG154, may be updated so as to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step 029SGS108, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random number of the game control counter setting unit 029SG154. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for the purpose and the random number value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (step 029SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random number value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step 029SGS110). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first special figure reservation storage unit 029SG151A stores numerical data indicating the random values MR1 to MR3, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the start port buffer value is "2". Numerical data indicating the random values MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 029SG151B.

The numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determines whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set as "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 029SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol and the variable display mode including the variable display time.

Following the process of step 029SGS110, the transmission setting of the start port winning designation command according to the start port buffer value is performed (step 029 SGS111). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. The setting for transmitting the first start opening prize designation command to 12 is made. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 is subjected to. Make settings to send the second start port winning designation command. The start port winning designation command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 5 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

Following the process of step 029SGS111, the winning random number value determination process is executed (step 029SGS112). After that, for example, the hold storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. (Step 029SGS113). The hold storage number notification command set in this way is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 5 after the special symbol process process is completed. Be transmitted.

After executing the process of step 029SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is "1" (step 029SGS114). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 029SGS114; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 029SGS115), and then the process of step 029SGS104 is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 029SGS114; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 029SGS116), and then the start prize is won. End the process. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B simultaneously detect a valid start prize for the game ball, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be reliably completed.

FIG. 11-15 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 029SGS112 of FIG. 11-14 as the winning random number value determination process. When the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started in the feature unit 029SG, the special symbol display result (variable display of the special symbol) is performed by the special symbol normal processing (step S22 in FIG. 6, FIG. 11-16) described later. The result) is regarded as a "big hit", and it is determined whether or not to control the big hit game state. Further, in the variation pattern setting process (step S23 in FIG. 6, FIG. 11-17), which will be described later, the determination of the variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is performed. On the other hand, apart from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination processing in step 029SGS112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). As a result, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of displaying the special symbol, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined display mode accompanied by super reach. As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started, that is, whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variable display is determined. Before, it is determined that the special figure display result is a "big hit" and which category the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the variable display mode, and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 or the like determines. , As will be described later, advance notice effects such as pre-reading advance notice effects will be executed.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 11-15 (A), the CPU 103 first confirms the state of the time saving flag and the probability variation flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit 029SG152, and the pachinko game. The current gaming state of the machine 1 is specified (step 029SGS121). The CPU 103 identifies that it is in the probabilistic state when the probabilistic flag is on, identifies that it is in the time saving state when the probabilistic flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probabilistic flag and the time saving flag are in the time saving state. When it is off, it may be specified that it is in the normal state.

Following the process of step 029SGS121, the display result determination table shown in FIG. 11-3 is selected and set (step 029SGS122). After that, it is determined whether or not the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result extracted in step 029SGS109 of FIG. 11-14 is within the predetermined jackpot determination range (step 029SGS123). In the jackpot determination range, individual determination values assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected by the process of step 029SGS122 are set, and the CPU 103 determines each determination as the random value MR1. It suffices if it is possible to determine whether or not there is a determination value that matches the random number value MR1 by comparing the values one by one. Alternatively, a numerical value indicating a minimum value (lower limit value) and a maximum value (upper limit value) of the judgment value included in the jackpot judgment range is set, and the CPU 103 sets the random number value MR1 and the minimum value or maximum value of the jackpot judgment range. By comparing, it suffices if it can be determined whether or not the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range. At this time, since it is determined that the random number value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number value MR1 is determined as "big hit".

When it is determined in step 029SGS123 that it is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the variable display does not result in a jackpot (step 029SGS123; N), that is, the variable display result is "missing" in the variable display. In that case, the transmission setting of the first symbol designation command, which is the symbol designation command corresponding to the variable display result being "missing", is executed (step 029SGS128), and whether or not the time saving flag is on, that is, , It is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step 029SGS129). When the time saving flag is off (step 029SGS129; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set, and when the time reduction flag is on (step 029SGS129; Y), the deviation pattern determination table A is selected and set. Table D is selected and set (step 029SGS131). The deviation pattern determination table A is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the number of reserved storages is 2 or less. Further, the deviation pattern determination table D is an deviation variation pattern determination table used when the gaming state is a high base state in which the time saving control is executed.

Further, when it is determined in step 029SGS123 that the jackpot is within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is in the variable display (step 029SGS123; Y), as shown in FIG. 11-15 (A). , The jackpot type is determined based on the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type (step 029SGS132). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the table data that composes the jackpot type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

In addition, a symbol designation command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot A, a third symbol designation command when the probability variation jackpot B, and a probability variation jackpot C. Executes the transmission setting of the 4th symbol designation command, and in the case of a non-variable jackpot, the 5th symbol designation command (step 029SGS133), selects and sets the jackpot variation pattern determination table (step 029SGS135), and steps. Proceed to 029SGS138.

After executing any of the processes of step 029SGS130, step 029SGS131, and step 029SGS135, each fluctuation pattern determination table set in each of these steps and numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination are used. The variation category according to the range of the determination value including the random value MR3 is determined (step 029SGS138). In this feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIG. 11-15 (B), when at least the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode is "non-reach" in common regardless of the total number of reserved storages. A variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", a variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", and a variable category of "other" that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach). It suffices if it can be determined whether or not the variable category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, after setting for transmitting the variable category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 029SGS138 to the effect control board 12 (step 029SGS139), the winning random number value determination process is ended.

FIG. 11-16 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S110 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIGS. 11-16, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special figure hold storage number is "0" (step 029SGS141). The second special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step 029SGS141, the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting unit 029SG154 may be read out, and it may be determined whether or not the read value is “0”.

When the second special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step 029SGS141 (step 029SGS141; N), the hold data stored corresponding to the hold number "1" in the second special figure hold storage unit. As a result, numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are read out (step 029SGS142). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step 029SGS142, the second special figure holding memory number and the total holding storage number are subtracted by 1 by subtracting 1 from the second special figure holding storage number count value and the total holding storage number count value and updating. The data in the second special figure reservation storage unit is updated as well as being updated. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the second special figure hold storage unit are shown. The pending data is shifted up one entry at a time (step 029SGS143).

After that, after updating the variable special figure designation buffer value, which is the stored value of the variable special figure designation buffer, to "2" (step 029SGS144), the process proceeds to step 029SGS149.

On the other hand, when the second special figure reserved storage number is "0" in step 029SGS141 (step 029SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved storage number is "0" (step 029SGS145). .. The first special figure hold storage number is the hold storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 029SGS145, the game control counter setting unit 029SG154 reads the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage counter, and determines whether or not the read value is "0". Just do it. As described above, the process of step 029SGS145 is executed when it is determined in step 029SGS141 that the second special figure reserved storage number is "0", and the first special figure reserved storage number is "0". Judge whether or not. As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

It should be noted that the special figure game using the second special figure is not limited to the one executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure, for example, the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening. The execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game balls enter (pass) and the start prize is generated. In this case, a table for storing data that can specify the order in which the start winnings are generated is provided, and the execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. I just need to be able to decide.

When the first special figure hold storage number is other than "0" in step 029SGS145 (step 029SGS145; N), the hold data stored corresponding to the hold number "1" in the first special figure hold storage unit. As a result, numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are read out (step 029SGS146). The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a random number buffer for fluctuation and temporarily stored.

Following the process of step 029SGS146, the first special figure holding memory number and the total holding storage number are subtracted by 1 by subtracting 1 from the first special figure holding storage number count value and the total holding storage number count value and updating. The data in the first special figure reservation storage unit is updated as well as being updated. Specifically, the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the hold number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the hold numbers "2" to "4") in the hold storage unit of the first special figure are shown. The pending data is shifted up one entry at a time (step 029SGS147).

After that, after updating the variable special figure designated buffer value, which is the stored value of the variable special figure designated buffer, to "1" (step 029SGS148), the process proceeds to step 029SGS149.

In step 029SGS149, the special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 11-3 is used as a table for determining whether the special figure display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, is "big hit" or "missing". Select a table and set it. Next, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation is compared with the determination value assigned to each special figure display result of "big hit" or "missing". , It is determined whether the special figure display result is "big hit" or "missing" (step 029SGS150a). In this step 029SGS150a, if the gaming state at that time is a high probability state (probability change state) in which the probability change flag is on, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is in the high probability state (probability change state). ) Corresponds to the range of 1000 to 12180, it is determined to be a "big hit", and if it is not applicable, it is determined to be "missing". In the low probability state where the probability change flag is off, if the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result falls within the range of 1 to 219, it is judged as a "big hit", and if not, it is judged as "missing". judge.

In this way, in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected in step 029SGS149, different determination values are assigned to the "big hit" according to the game state (high probability, low probability) at that time. , Step 029 In the process of SGS150a, the special figure display result using different judgment data (judgment value) depending on whether or not the game state when the variable display of the special figure game or the like is started is a highly accurate state. By determining whether or not to set "big hit", when the game state is in the high probability state, it is determined (determined) to be "big hit" with a higher probability than in the case of the low probability state.

When it is determined in step 029SGS150a that it is a "big hit" (step 029SGS150a; Y), the big hit flag is turned on in the game control flag setting unit 029SG152 (step 029SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-4 (A) is selected and set as a table to be used for determining the jackpot type to one of a plurality of types (step 029SGS153). By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in this way, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer, and the "non-probability variation jackpot" and "probability variation jackpot" in the jackpot type determination table It is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is to be selected according to which of the determination values assigned to each jackpot type of "A", "probability variation jackpot B", and "probability variation jackpot C" is matched (step 029SGS154). ).

By determining the jackpot type in the process of step 029SGS154, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state can be changed to either a time-saving state or a probabilistic state in which the player has a higher advantage than the time-saving state. It will be decided before the definite special symbol as a variable display result is derived. Corresponding to the jackpot type determined in this way, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 029SG155 (step 029SGS155), the determined jackpot type Remember. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot" corresponding to non-probability variation jackpot, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "0", and if it is "probability variation A" corresponding to probability variation jackpot A, it is set to "1". If it is "probability variation B" corresponding to B, it may be set to "2", and if it is "probability variation C" corresponding to probability variation jackpot C, it may be set to "3".

After the end of step 029SGS155, or when it is determined in step 029SGS150a that it is not a "big hit" (step 029SGS150a; N), whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state (whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on). A fixed special symbol is set according to the pre-determined result of (?) And the determined result of the jackpot type in the case of the jackpot game state. As an example, a special symbol indicating the "-" symbol, which is an outlier symbol, is set as the finalized special symbol in response to the pre-determined result that the special symbol display result is "out of place". Further, when it is determined in step 029SGS150a that the special figure display result is "big hit", when the big hit type in step 029SGS154 is "probability variation big hit A", a special symbol indicating the number "7" is displayed. Set to a confirmed special symbol. When the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot B", the special symbol indicating the number "5" is set as the finalized special symbol. When the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot", the special symbol indicating the number "3" is set as the confirmed special symbol. When the jackpot type is "probability variation jackpot C", the special symbol indicating the number "1" is set as the finalized special symbol. It should be noted that these confirmed special symbols are examples, and other confirmed special symbols may be set, or a plurality of types of symbols may be set as confirmed special symbols.

After setting the confirmed special symbol in step 029SGS156, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" which is a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern setting process (step 029SGS157), and then the special symbol normal processing is terminated. ..

If the number of reserved memory of the special figure game using the first special figure is "0" in step 029SGS145 (step 029SGS145; Y), after performing the predetermined demo display setting (step 029SGS158), The normal processing of the special symbol is terminated. In this demo display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo specification command) for designating a demonstration display (demo screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is produced from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not the transmission has been completed to the board 12. At this time, if the customer waiting demo specification command has already been sent, the demo display setting is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it has not been transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demo specification command is made, and then the demo display setting is terminated.

FIG. 11-17 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 6 as the variation pattern setting process. In the fluctuation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 11-17, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 029SGS161). Then, if the jackpot flag is turned on (step 029SGS161; Y), the jackpot variation pattern determination table is selected and set (step 029SGS164).

In the determination in step 029SGS161, if the jackpot flag is not turned on (step 029SGS161; N), the game state is probablely changed by determining whether or not the time saving flag is turned on in the game control flag setting unit. It is determined whether or not the time saving control is being performed in the state or the time saving state (step 029SGS168). Then, if the time saving flag is turned on (step 029SGS168; Y), the deviation pattern determination table D is selected and set as the table to be used for determining the variation pattern to any of a plurality of types (step 029SGS168; Y). Step 029SGS169).

On the other hand, when the time reduction control is not in progress, that is, when the time reduction flag is not turned on (step 029SGS168; N), for example, the storage of the reserved storage number counter of the fluctuation special figure provided in the game control counter setting unit 029SG154. By reading the value or the like, the reserved storage number of the variable special figure is specified, and it is determined whether or not the reserved stored number of the specified variable special figure is 1 or 2 (step 029SGS170).

When the number of reserved memory of the specified variation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 029SGS170; N), the deviation pattern determination table A is used as a table to be used for determining the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types. Select and set (step 029SGS171).

Further, when the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is not 1 or 2 (step 029SGS170; N), it is further determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified variable special figure is 3 (step 029SGS172). ).

When the number of reserved memory of the specified variation special figure is 3 (step 029SGS172; Y), the deviation pattern determination table B for deviation is selected as the table to be used for determining the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types. And set (step 029SGS173).

Further, when the number of reserved memory of the specified variable chart is not 3, that is, when the number of reserved memory of the specified variable chart is 4 (step 029SGS172; N), any one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is used. As the table to be used for determining the above, the deviation pattern determination table C is selected and set (step 029SGS174), and the process proceeds to step 029SGS175.

After executing any of the processes of step 029SGS164, step 029SGS169, step 029SGS171, step 029SGS173, and step 029SGS174, for example, numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation is displayed. Based on this, by referring to any of the selected (set) jackpot variation pattern determination table, special hit variation pattern determination table, or loss variation pattern determination table A to D, any of a plurality of types of variation patterns can be selected. (Step 029SGS175).

When the jackpot flag is off, the variable display mode is determined by the process of step 029SGS175 to determine whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach". That is, the process of step 029SGS170 includes a process of determining whether or not to set the variable display state of the decorative symbol to the reach state when the variable display result is “missing”.

After determining the fluctuation pattern in step 029SGS175, the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B according to the fluctuation special symbol designation buffer value. A setting is made to start the variation of the special symbol so as to start any of the special diagram games using the second special symbol (step 029SGS176). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", a setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

Following the process of step 029SGS176, settings for transmitting various commands for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol are made (step 029SGS177). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a first variable display start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result specification command and the first hold storage number notification command, the game control buffer setting unit uses the setting data indicating the storage address (start address) in the ROM 101 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance. It is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided in 029SG155. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 receives a game state designation command, a second variable display start command, a variable pattern designation command, and a variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result specification command and the second hold storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit 029SG155. In the send command buffer, it is stored in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer.

After executing the process of step 029SGS177, the special figure fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol according to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern, is set (step 029SGS178). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is required from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the finalized special symbol, which is the variable display result (special symbol display result), is stopped and displayed. It's time. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "2", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation processing (step 029SGS179), and then the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

Based on the command transmission setting in step 029SGS177, every time the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. 5 is executed after the variation pattern setting process is completed, the game state is set from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The specified command, the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command, the variable pattern specification command, the variable display result specification command, the first reserved storage number notification command or the second reserved storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. It will be. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed. For example, after the variable display result specification command is first transmitted, the first variable display start command, the second variable display start command, and the variation pattern The command may be transmitted in the order of the designated command, the game state designation command, the first hold storage number notification command, the second hold storage number notification command, or the like.

FIG. 11-18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 turns on the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation processing in step S112 to end the variation of the special symbol, and causes the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B to end the variation. Control is performed to stop and display the stop symbol (step 029SGS180). When the variation special symbol designation buffer value is "1" indicating the first special symbol, the variation of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is terminated, and the variation special symbol designation buffer value is changed. When it is "2" indicating the second special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B is terminated. In addition, control is performed to transmit a symbol determination command to the effect control board 12 (step 029SGS181).

Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 029SGS182). When the jackpot flag is turned on (step 029SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability change flag and the time saving flag to turn it off if the probability change flag and the time saving flag are turned on (step 029SGS184). , Hit start 1 designation command (probability change jackpot A), hit start 2 designation command (probability variation jackpot B), hit start 3 designation command (probability variation jackpot C), according to the type of jackpot stored in the effect control board 12. Hit start 4 Make settings for transmitting the designated command (non-probability change) (step 029SGS185).

Further, the CPU 103 makes settings for transmitting a game state designation command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (step 029SGS186).

Then, a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (time for notifying the occurrence of the jackpot, for example, in the image display device 5) is set in the jackpot display time timer (step 029SGS187). In addition, the number of times of opening of the big winning opening opening counter is set (for example, 10 times in the case of non-probability big hit or probable big hit A, 5 times in the case of probable change big hit B, and 2 times in the case of probable change big hit C). (Step 029 SGS188). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" (step 029SGS189), which is a value corresponding to the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S114), and the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off (step 029SGS182; N), in step 029SGS190, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is "0". If the value of the time reduction counter is "0" (step 029SGS190; Y), the process proceeds to step 029SGS196.

On the other hand, when the value of the time reduction counter is not "0" (step 029SGS190; N), that is, in the high base state where the time reduction remains, the value of the time reduction counter is decremented by -1 (step). 029SGS191). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction is "0" (step 029SGS193), and if it is not "0" (step 029SGS193; N), the process proceeds to step 029SGS196, and the value of the time reduction counter is increased. When is "0" (step 029SGS193; Y), in order to end the time saving control, after clearing the time saving flag and turning it off (step 029SGS194), the state of the probability change flag or the time saving flag is supported. After setting the transmission of the game state designation command corresponding to the game state (specifically, the low accuracy and low base state) (step 029SGS195), the process proceeds to step 029SGS196.

In step 029SGS196, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "0", which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, and then the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

FIG. 11-19 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 6 as the jackpot end process.

In the jackpot end process, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is operating, that is, the timer is being counted (step 029SGS201). When the jackpot end display timer is not operating (step 029SGS201; N), a value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the jackpot end display time (big hit end display time) on the image display device 5 on the jackpot end display timer. Is set (step 029SGS202), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the jackpot end display timer is operating (step 029SGS201; Y), the value of the jackpot end display timer is subtracted by 1 (step 029SGS203). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the jackpot end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 029SGS204). If it has not passed, the process ends.

If the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 029SGS204; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether the stored jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 029SGS205).

When the stored jackpot type is not a non-probability change jackpot (step 029SGS205; N), the probability variation flag is turned on (step 029SGS207), the time reduction flag is turned on (step 029SGS208), and the time reduction counter is set to "0". After setting (step 029SGS209), the process proceeds to step 029SGS213.

On the other hand, when the jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 029SGS205; Y), the time saving flag is turned on and "100" is set in the time saving number counter by executing step 029SGS211 and step 029SGS212. After that, the process proceeds to step 029SGS213.

In step 029SGS213, the jackpot flag is turned off, and the transmission setting of the jackpot end designation command according to the jackpot type is set (step 029SGS214). Then, after setting the transmission of the game state designation command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the probabilistic change flag and the time reduction flag turned on (step 029SGS215), the value of the special figure process flag is special. It is updated to "0" which is a value corresponding to the symbol normal processing (step 029SGS216).

Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 11-20 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S161 of FIG. 6 as the pre-reading notice setting process. In the pre-reading advance notice setting process shown in FIG. 11-20, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning command buffer 029SG194A (step 029SGS241), and whether or not there is a new storage of the command at the time of starting winning. Is determined by whether or not there is an entry in which the value of the hold display flag is not set (step 029SGS242).

If there is no entry for which the value of the hold display flag is not set (step 029SGS242; N), the read-ahead notice setting process is terminated, and if there is an entry for which the value of the hold display flag is not set (step 029SGS242; N). Y) Further, it is determined whether or not the symbol designation command of the entry is the first symbol designation command, that is, whether or not the symbol designation command is a symbol designation command indicating an error (step 029SGS243). When the symbol designation command is other than the first symbol designation command, that is, when it is a symbol designation command indicating a jackpot (step 029SGS243; N), a jackpot not shown is shown based on the variable display result being a jackpot. By referring to the look-ahead notice effect determination table, it is determined whether or not to execute the look-ahead notice effect and the display pattern when the look-ahead notice effect is executed (step 029SGS245).

In step 029SGS245, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) are determined at a determination ratio as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A). Specifically, there are two types of display patterns (notice types) for the pre-reading notice effect, a display pattern α and a display pattern β. Of these, when the display pattern of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern α, the hold storage display is displayed in a blue circle in the first hold storage display area 029SG5D or the second hold storage display area 029SG5U. When the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern β, the hold storage display is displayed in a red circle in the first hold storage display area 029SG5D or the second hold storage display area 029SG5U. NS.

In step 029SGS245, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A), the non-execution of the look-ahead notice effect is determined at a rate of 5%, and the execution of the look-ahead notice effect in the display pattern α is determined at a rate of 30%. Then, the execution of the display pattern β of the look-ahead notice effect may be determined at a rate of 65%.

Further, in step 029SGS243, when the symbol designation command of the entry for which the value of the hold display flag is not set is the first symbol designation command, that is, when it is the symbol designation command indicating the deviation (step 029SGS243; Y), The variation category indicated by the variation category specification command of the entry is specified (step 029SGS247). Specifically, if the variation category specification command of the entry is C600H, it is specified as a category of "non-reach" variation pattern, and if it is C601H, it is a category of "super reach" variation pattern. If it is C602H, it may be specified that it is a category of "other" fluctuation patterns including normal reach.

Then, for example, it is not shown based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for the pre-reading advance notice effect extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 029SG193, and the category of the fluctuation pattern specified in step 029SGS247. By referring to the pre-reading notice effect determination table at the time of loss, it is determined whether or not to execute the pre-reading notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) when the pre-reading notice effect is executed (step 029SGS248).

In step 029SGS248, for example, the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the display pattern (notice type) are determined at a determination ratio as shown in FIG. 11-21 (B). In the setting example of the determination ratio shown in FIG. 11-21 (B), the presence / absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the determination ratio of the display pattern (notice type) are determined according to the category of the fluctuation pattern specified in the process of step 029SGS247. It's different.

In step 029SGS247, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (B), for example, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is "non-reach", the non-execution of the look-ahead notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. , The execution of the look-ahead notice effect display pattern α is determined at a rate of 5%, and the execution of the look-ahead notice effect display pattern β is determined at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is "Other", the non-execution of the look-ahead notice effect is determined at a rate of 75%, and the execution of the look-ahead notice effect in the display pattern α is performed at a rate of 20%. It is decided, and the execution of the display pattern β of the look-ahead notice effect is decided at a rate of 5%. Then, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the variable category is "super reach", the non-execution of the look-ahead notice effect is determined at a rate of 65%, and the execution of the look-ahead notice effect in the display pattern α is performed at a rate of 25%. The execution of the display pattern β of the look-ahead notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%.

When the execution of the look-ahead notice effect is decided by such a setting, the variable display result is more likely to be a big hit than the case where the non-execution of the look-ahead notice effect is decided, so that it is the target of the look-ahead notice effect. It is possible to draw the player's attention to the variable display. Further, when the look-ahead notice effect is executed, the variable display result is more likely to be a big hit when the look-ahead notice effect is executed in the display pattern β than in the case where the look-ahead notice effect is executed in the display pattern α. , It is possible to draw the player's attention to which display pattern the hold memory display, which is the target of the look-ahead notice effect, is displayed.

In the feature unit 029SG, if the variable display result is a big hit, the presence or absence of execution of the look-ahead notice effect and the display pattern are determined at the same ratio regardless of the big hit type, but the present invention is limited to this. If the variable display result is a big hit, the presence or absence of execution of the look-ahead notice effect and the determination rate of the display pattern may be different depending on the big hit type. By doing so, the player can be controlled to which jackpot type jackpot game state is controlled depending on whether or not the look-ahead notice effect is executed and which display pattern the hold memory display is displayed. It will be possible to draw attention.

After the execution of step 029SGS248, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect is determined in step 029SGS247, that is, the display pattern (notice type) is set to either the display pattern α or the display pattern β. Whether or not it is determined (step 029SGS249).

After the execution of step 029SGS245 or when the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is decided (step 029SGS249; Y), the flag value corresponding to the decided display pattern (notice type) is set in the hold display flag of the entry (step). 029SGS246). Specifically, if the display pattern (notice type) determined in step 029SGS245 or step 029SGS248 is the display pattern α indicating the hold storage display in a blue circle, "1" is set in the hold display flag of the entry. If the display pattern (notice type) determined in step 029SGS245 or step 029SGS248 is the display pattern β indicating the hold memory display in a red circle, the hold display flag of the entry is set to “2”, and then the process proceeds to step 029SGS252. ..

If the execution of the pre-reading notice effect is not determined in step 029SGS249 (step 029SGS249; N), after setting the hold display flag of the entry to "0" indicating a white circle (step 029SGS250). ), Proceed to step 029SGS252.

After executing step 029SGS246 or step 029SGS250, the effect control CPU 120 updates the hold display based on the stored contents of the start winning command buffer 029SG194A (step 029SGS252). As a result, the hold memory newly stored in the start winning command buffer 029SG194A is displayed in a display mode corresponding to any of "0", "1", and "2" set in the hold display flag. NS.

FIG. 11-22 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S171 of FIG. 10 as the variable display start setting process. In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 11-22, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable start command reception flag is in the ON state (step 029SGS271). When the first variable start command reception flag is on (step 029SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 029SG194A are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 029SGS272). 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 fluctuation start command reception flag is off in step 029SGS271 (step 029SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second fluctuation start command reception flag is on (step 029SGS273). When the second variation start command reception flag is off (step 029SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is finished, and when the second variation start command reception flag is on (step 029SGS273; 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 029SG194A are stored for each buffer number. Shift to the upper position (step 029SGS274). 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 029SGS272 or step 029SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 029SGS275).

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 029SGS276). 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 specification command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do.

In the feature unit 029SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, three symbols "7" as stop symbols. ”Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbols). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B or the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot C, it is used as a stop symbol. , A plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, combinations of decorative symbols such as "111", "333", "555", and "999"). 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, if the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the deviation and the variation pattern of the variable display is a non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as stop symbols. Determine the combination of symbols (missing symbols). If the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the reach variation pattern, the left and right symbols are the same as the stop symbol, but the middle symbol is medium. Determine the combination of reach loss (missing symbol) with different symbols.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining the stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and a numerical value 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 executes a meter effect determination process for determining whether or not the meter effect is executed and the effect pattern (step 029SGS277), and determines whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern. Determine (step 029SGS278). Whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern may be determined by whether or not the variation pattern specification command read in the process of step 029SGS275 is a super reach variation pattern.

If the variable display variation pattern is a non-reach or normal reach variation pattern (step 029SGS278; N), the process proceeds to step 029SGS283, and if the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern (step 029SGS278; Y). Further determines whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is any of the variation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029 SGS280).

When the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is any of the fluctuation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, super reach δ, super reach ζ, super reach η, and super reach λ (step 029SGS280; N), the variable display is further changed. It is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the display is the fluctuation pattern of super reach δ or super reach ζ (step 029SGS281). When the variation pattern of the variable display is a variation pattern of super reach δ or super reach ζ (step 029SGS281; Y), the reach effect E development suggestion effect determination process for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect E development suggestion effect is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 029SGS283 (step 029SGS282), and when the variation pattern of the variable display is any of the variation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, super reach η, and super reach λ (step 029 SGS 281; N), The process proceeds to step 029SGS283 without executing the reach effect E development notification effect determination process.

In the process of step 029SGS283, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table according to the fluctuation pattern and proceeds to step 029SGS289.

Then, in step 029SGS280, when the variation pattern of the variable display is any of the variation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029 SGS 280; Y), branching is performed. A branch destination suggestion effect determination process for determining whether or not the prior suggestion effect is executed and an effect pattern is executed (step 029SGS284). Then, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is a fluctuation pattern of super reach ε or super reach θ (step 029SGS285).

If the variable display variation pattern is any of super reach γ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029 SGS285; N), the process proceeds to step 029 SGS289, and the variable display variation pattern is super reach ε or In the case of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ (step 029SGS285; Y), the reach effect G development suggestion effect determination process for determining whether or not the reach effect G development suggestion effect is executed is executed (step 029SGS286). Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines the reach effect of the super reach to be executed during the variable display from the reach effect C and the reach effect D (step 029SGS287) according to the variable display result and the variable pattern, and the determination is made. A process table corresponding to the reach effect and the fluctuation pattern is selected, and the process proceeds to step 029SGS289 (step 029SGS288).

In the process of step 029SGS287, when the variable display result is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (A), if the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ (PB1-4), the reach effect C The execution is determined at a rate of 50%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 50%. If the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach θ (PB1-7), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 30%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 70%. If the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of super reach ι (PB1-8), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 100%. If the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach κ (PB1-9), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 20%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 80%.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is out of alignment, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (B), if the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ (PA2-4), the execution of the reach effect C is 90. It is determined at a rate of%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 10%. If the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach ε (PA2-6), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 80%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 20%. If the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach θ (PA2-9), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 70%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 30%. If the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of super reach ι (PA2-10), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 100%. If the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach κ (PA2-11), the execution of the reach effect C is determined at a rate of 60%, and the execution of the reach effect D is determined at a rate of 40%.

As shown in FIGS. 11-30 (A) and 11-30 (B), the reach effect C and the reach effect D are executed according to the fluctuation pattern depending on whether the variable display result is a big hit or not. By determining at different ratios, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (C), the reach effect D is set higher than the reach effect C as the overall jackpot expectation.

Further, regardless of the variable display result, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ι (the fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect H development notification effect and the reach effect H are executed after the execution of the pre-effect and the precursor effect). As for, the execution of the reach effect D is always decided. On the other hand, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ (the fluctuation pattern in which the high-expectation reach production development notification effect and the reach effect I are executed after the execution of the pre-effect and the precursor effect), the reach is executed. There are cases where the effect C is executed and cases where the reach effect D is executed.

That is, in the feature unit 029SG, regarding the fluctuation pattern (the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ι and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ) in which the pre-effect and the precursor effect are executed during the variable display, the present feature is performed after the pre-effect and the precursor effect are executed. The rate at which the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed in Part 029 (the rate at which the reach effect I with the highest jackpot expectation is executed) is higher when the execution of the reach effect C is decided. Is set higher than when the execution of is decided. Therefore, in the feature unit 029SG, even if the reach effect C having a lower jackpot expectation than the reach effect D is executed during the variable display, the pre-effect and the precursor effect are executed after the reach effect C. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the reach effect C is performed, the player recognizes that the jackpot expectation is low when the reach effect C is executed, and the game interest is reduced during the execution of the reach effect C. It is possible to prevent this from happening.

Further, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ in which the reach effect G development notification effect is executed after the variable display result is once notified as the reach effect C or the reach effect D, and these from the execution of the reach effect C or the reach effect D. A comparison of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ in which the pre-production, the precursory effect, and the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect are executed instead of the reach effect C and the reach effect D is shown in FIG. 11-30 (D). In the case where the variable display result is a big hit, the difference between the determination ratio of the reach effect C and the determination rate of the reach effect D in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ is 40%, whereas the difference of the super reach κ is 40%. The difference between the determination ratio of the reach effect C and the determination rate of the reach effect D in the variation pattern is set to 60%. Further, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (E), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the difference between the determination ratio of the reach effect C and the determination rate of the reach effect D in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ is 40. The difference between the determination ratio of the reach effect C and the determination rate of the reach effect D in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ is set to 20%.

Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ and the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ depend on whether the reach effect C or the reach effect D is executed. Whether the variable display is a variable display of the super reach κ in which the pre-effect, the precursor effect, and the high-expectation reach effect notification effect are executed while the reach effect C or reach effect D is being executed, or as the reach effect C or reach effect D. Since it is possible to infer whether the reach effect G is a variable display of the super reach θ in which the reach effect G development notification effect is executed after the variable display result (off) is once notified, the reach effect C and the reach effect D can be estimated. It is possible to draw the player's attention to which one is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

Returning to FIG. 11-22, in step 029SGS289, the effect control CPU 120 indicates whether or not a chance-up effect is executed, which suggests that the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit (big hit expectation) has increased during the variable display, and the chance. The chance-up effect determination process for determining the effect pattern of the up effect is executed (step 029SGS289).

The effect control CPU 120 that has executed the chance-up effect determination process then starts a process timer according to the process timer selected in the process of step 029SGS283 or step 029SGS288 (step 029SGS290).

In each 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. The sound control execution data of the above, the operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in order in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). ing.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect device (image display as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). 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 213SGS288). 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, a control signal (phone number data) is output to the voice control board 13 (step 029SGS290).

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 029SGS292). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 029SGS293). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms. Every time the predetermined time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols to the VRAM, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data to the VRAM. The variable display (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized by outputting the signal corresponding to the image data to the image display device 5 and displaying the image according to the signal by the image display device 5. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 213 SGS291).

In the variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the process timer by -1 each time the variable display effect process is executed, and determines whether or not the value of the process timer has timed out. do. Then, when the process timer is not timer-out, the control of the effect device is executed according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer, and when the process timer is timer-out, the process data is switched and the next process is performed. The process timer may be started and the effect device may be controlled according to the contents of the next process data. By doing so, the variable display of the decorative pattern in the feature unit 029SG is executed.

FIG. 11-23 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S029SGS277 of FIG. 11-22 as the meter effect determination process. In the meter effect determination process shown in FIGS. 11-23, the effect control CPU 120 first has one of the variable display fluctuation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ. It is determined whether or not it is a fluctuation pattern (step 029SGS301). When the variable display fluctuation pattern is any of the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029 SGS301; Y), the meter effect determination process is terminated. When the variation pattern of the variable display is any one of non-reach, shortened non-reach, normal reach, super reach α, super reach β, super reach δ, super reach ζ, super reach η, and super reach λ (step). 029SGS301; N) determines whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is a shortened non-reach variation pattern (step 029SGS302).

When the variation pattern of the variable display is a shortened non-reach variation pattern (step 029SGS302; Y), the meter effect determination process is ended, and the variation pattern of the variable display is non-reach, normal reach, super reach α, super reach β. , Super reach δ, Super reach ζ, Super reach η, Super reach λ (step 029SGS302; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not meter effect is executed according to the variation pattern. The effect pattern is determined (step 029SGS303).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-24 (A), when the fluctuation pattern is a non-reach (non-reach without shortening) fluctuation pattern, the non-execution of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 90%. The execution of the meter effect pattern A is determined at a rate of 10%, the execution of the meter effect pattern B is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution of the meter effect pattern C is determined at a rate of 0%. , The execution of the meter effect pattern D is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution of the meter effect pattern E is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution of the meter effect pattern F is determined at a rate of 0%. do. When the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of normal reach, the non-execution of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 20%, the execution of the meter effect pattern A is determined at a rate of 25%, and the meter effect pattern B is determined. The execution in the meter effect is determined at a rate of 50%, the execution in the meter effect pattern C is determined at a rate of 5%, the execution in the meter effect pattern D is determined at a rate of 0%, and the meter effect pattern is determined. The execution in E is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution in the meter effect pattern F is determined at a rate of 0%.

When the fluctuation pattern is any of the fluctuation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, super reach δ, and super reach ζ, the non-execution of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 10%, and the meter effect pattern A is determined. The execution in the meter effect is determined at a rate of 5%, the execution in the meter effect pattern B is determined at a rate of 15%, the execution in the meter effect pattern C is determined at a rate of 40%, and the meter effect pattern is determined. The execution in D is determined at a rate of 30%, the execution in the meter effect pattern E is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution in the meter effect pattern F is determined at a rate of 0%.

When the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η, the non-execution of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 5%, the execution of the meter effect pattern A is determined at a rate of 5%, and the meter effect is determined. The execution in pattern B is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution in pattern C of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution in pattern D of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 0%, and the meter effect is determined. The execution in the pattern E of the above is determined at a rate of 95%, and the execution in the pattern F of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 0%.

When the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ, the non-execution of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution of the meter effect pattern A is determined at a rate of 0%, and the meter effect is determined. The execution in pattern B is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution in pattern C of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 0%, the execution in pattern D of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 0%, and the meter effect is determined. The execution in the pattern E of the above is determined at a rate of 0%, and the execution in the pattern F of the meter effect is determined at a rate of 100%.

As shown in FIGS. 11-24 (B) and 11-25, the pattern A in the meter effect is the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (if it is a non-reach fluctuation pattern without shortening, the variable display starts. The meter 029SG005M is an effect pattern in which the meter 029SG005M is increased by one step at the first timing during the variable display result notification), and the pattern B is the first timing and the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (non-reach variation without shortening). If it is a pattern, the meter 029SG005M increases by one step (a total of two steps increases) at the second timing after the first timing during the period from the start of the variable display to the notification of the variable display result). , Pattern C is the first and second timings, and the first in the period from the reach to the start of the reach production of the super reach (in the case of a normal reach variation pattern, the period from the reach to the notification of the variable display result). This is an effect pattern in which the meter 029SG005M increases by one step at three timings (a total of three steps increase).

Further, in the pattern D, the meter 029SG005M increases by one step at the first timing, the second timing, the third timing, and the fourth timing during the execution of the reach effect A or the reach effect B (a total increase of four steps). ) It is a production pattern. Further, in the pattern E, the first timing, the second timing, the third timing, the fourth timing, and the fifth timing (high expectation reach production start / stop) during the execution of the reach effect A and after the fourth timing. This is an effect pattern in which the meter 029SG005M increases by one step (increases by a total of five steps) at a timing (timing before the start timing of the notification effect). The pattern F is an effect pattern in which the meter 029SG005M is increased by 5 steps at the second timing.

Returning to FIG. 11-23, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the meter effect is determined after executing the process of 029SGS303 (step 029SGS304). When the execution of the meter effect is not decided (step 029SGS304; N), the meter effect determination process is finished, and when the execution of the meter effect is decided (step 029SGS304; Y), the determined effect pattern of the meter effect is stored. (Step 029SGS305), the meter effect start waiting timer according to the fluctuation pattern is set, and the meter effect determination process is completed (step 029SGS306).

When the execution of the meter effect is determined, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the meter effect start waiting timer by -1 each time the effect processing during variable display is executed, and the value of the meter effect start wait timer is the timer. Determine if it is out. At this time, when the timer for waiting for the start of the meter effect has timed out, the process table for the meter effect is selected according to the determined effect pattern of the meter effect, and the process timer for the meter effect is started. After that, the value of the meter effect process timer is decremented by -1 each time the variable display effect process is executed, and it is determined whether or not the meter effect process timer has timed out. If the meter effect process timer is not timered out, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the meter effect process timer, and if the meter effect process timer is timered out, the process data is executed. To switch and start the next process data. By doing so, it is possible to execute the meter effect during the variable display.

As described above, in the feature unit 029SG, whether or not the meter 029SG005M is increased up to 5 stages by executing the meter effect during the variable display, and the high expectation reach by increasing the meter 029SG005M up to 5 stages. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the production development production is executed.

FIG. 11-26 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S029SGS282 of FIG. 11-22 as the reach effect E development suggestion effect determination process. In the reach effect E development suggestion effect determination process shown in FIGS. 11-26, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the reach effect E development suggestion effect is executed according to the variation pattern of the variable display (step 029SGS311). .. For example, as shown in FIG. 11-26 (B), when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ, the non-execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 50%. Reach production E The execution of the development suggestion production is decided at a rate of 50%. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ, the non-execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 20%, and the execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is 80%. Determined by the ratio of.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is determined in the process of step 029SGS311 (step 029SGS312). When the execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is not decided (step 029SGS312; N), the reach effect E development suggestion effect determination process is completed, and the execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is decided (step 029SGS312). Y) sets the timer for waiting for the start of the reach effect E development suggestion effect and ends the reach effect E development suggestion effect determination process (step 029SGS313).

When the execution of the reach effect E development suggestion effect is determined, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the reach effect E development suggestion effect start waiting timer each time the effect process during variable display is executed, and reaches. Direction E Development suggestion It is determined whether or not the value of the time waiting for the start of the effect has timered out. At this time, if the timer for the reach effect E development suggestion effect start waits out, the process table for the reach effect E development suggestion effect is selected and the process timer for the reach effect E development suggestion effect is started. After that, the value of the reach effect E development suggestion effect process timer is decremented by -1 each time the variable display effect process is executed, and it is determined whether or not the reach effect E development suggestion effect process timer has timed out. .. If the process timer for the reach effect E development suggestion effect is not timered out, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the reach effect E development suggestion effect process timer, and the reach effect E development suggestion effect is performed. When the process timer is out, the process data is switched and the next process data is started. By doing so, the reach effect E development suggestion effect can be executed during the variable display.

In particular, in this feature unit 029SG, the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ in which the reach effect E development notification effect is executed is rather than the variable display in the variation pattern of the super reach δ in which the reach effect E development notification effect is not executed. Since the reach effect E development suggestion effect is executed at a higher rate, in the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of these super reach δ and super reach ζ, the reach effect E development is performed after the execution of the reach effect B. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by drawing the player's attention to whether or not the suggestion effect is executed.

FIG. 11-27 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S029SGS284 of FIG. 11-22 as the branch destination suggestion effect determination process. In the branch destination suggestion effect determination process shown in FIGS. 11-27, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the branch destination suggestion effect is executed and the effect pattern according to the variation pattern of the variable display (step 029SGS321). ..

Determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ε, the non-execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 70%, and the execution of the branch destination suggestion effect in the pattern X is 30%. It is determined by the ratio, the execution in the pattern Y of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a ratio of 0%, and the execution in the pattern Z of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a ratio of 0%.

As shown in FIG. 11-28 (B), the pattern X of the branch destination suggestion effect is the execution of the reach effect H development notification effect during the execution period of the reach effect C or the reach effect D in the image display device 5. It is an effect pattern that displays the branch destination suggestion image X that suggests both execution of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect, and the pattern Y of the branch destination suggestion effect is the reach effect C or the reach effect D in the image display device 5. This is an effect pattern for displaying the branch destination suggestion image Y suggesting the execution of the reach effect H development notification effect during the execution period of the above, and the pattern Z of the branch destination suggestion effect is the reach effect C or the reach effect on the image display device 5. This is an effect pattern for displaying the branch destination suggestion image Z suggesting the execution of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect during the execution period of D.

In the feature unit 029SG, among the patterns X to Z, the pattern Z is determined to be executed at a higher ratio than the pattern X and the pattern Y when the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed. That is, the pattern Z is a production pattern in which the execution expectation of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is higher than that of the pattern X and the pattern Y (high-expectation reach effect development notification effect execution expectation: pattern Z> pattern Y). , Pattern Z> Pattern X). Further, the pattern Y is determined to be executed at a higher rate than the pattern X and the pattern X when the reach effect H development notification effect is executed. That is, the pattern Y has a reach effect H higher than the pattern X and the pattern Z. This is an effect pattern having a high degree of expectation for execution of the development notification effect (reach effect H, degree of expectation for execution of the development notification effect: pattern Y> pattern Z, pattern Y> pattern X).

As shown in FIG. 11-28 (A), the presence / absence of execution of the branch destination suggestion effect and the effect pattern are determined according to the variable display result because the determination ratio differs depending on the variation pattern of the variable display. The proportions are not different. That is, whether or not the branch destination suggestion effect is executed and the effect pattern develop into one of reach effect G to reach effect I after the reach effect C and reach effect D are executed, and whether or not these reach effect G to reach are performed. Although it is determined according to which of the effects I develops, the present invention is not limited to this, and the presence / absence of execution of the branch destination suggestion effect and the effect pattern of the variable display are displayed. The determination ratio may be different depending on both the variation pattern and the variable display result, or the determination ratio may be different depending only on the variable display result.

Returning to FIG. 11-27, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined in the process of step 029SGS321 (step 029SGS232). When the execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is not decided (step 029SGS232; N), the branch destination suggestion effect determination process is ended, and when the execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is decided (step 029SGS232; Y), the determined branch is executed. The effect pattern of the preceding suggestion effect is stored (step 029SGS323), the branch destination suggestion effect start waiting timer is set, and the branch destination suggestion effect determination process ends (step 029SGS324).

When the execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the branch destination suggestion effect start waiting timer by -1 each time the effect processing during variable display is executed, and starts the branch destination suggestion effect. Determines whether the value of the wait timer has timed out. At this time, if the timer for waiting for the start of the branch destination suggestion effect times out, the process table for the branch destination suggestion effect is selected according to the determined effect pattern of the branch destination suggestion effect, and the process timer for the branch destination suggestion effect is started. Let me.

Further, in advance, depending on which of the branch destination suggestion image X, the branch destination suggestion image Y, and the branch destination suggestion image Z is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D. Since the ratio at which the reach effect H development notification effect is executed after the precursor effect and the ratio at which the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed are different, the branch destination suggestion image X and the branch destination are displayed on the image display device 5. It is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the suggestion image Y and the branch destination suggestion image Z is displayed, and the game interest can be improved.

When the execution of the reach effect G development suggestion effect is not decided (step 029SGS332; N), the reach effect G development suggestion effect determination process is completed, and the execution of the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect is decided (step 029SGS332). Y) sets the timer for waiting for the start of the reach production G exhibition suggestion production, and ends the reach production G exhibition suggestion production determination process (step 029SGS333).

When the execution of the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect is determined, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect start waiting timer every time the effect process during variable display is executed, and reaches. Direction G Exhibition Suggestion It is determined whether or not the value of the effect waiting timer has expired. At this time, if the timer for waiting for the start of the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect times out, the process table for the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect is selected and the process timer for the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect is started. After that, the value of the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect process timer is decremented by -1 each time the variable display effect process is executed, and it is determined whether or not the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect process timer has timed out. .. If the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect process timer is not timered out, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect process timer, and the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect is performed. When the process timer is out, the process data is switched and the next process data is started. By doing so, it is possible to execute the reach effect G exhibition suggestion effect during the variable display.

In particular, in this feature unit 029SG, the variable display in the super reach θ fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect G notification effect is executed is higher than the variable display in the super reach ε fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect G exhibition notification effect is not executed. Since the reach effect E development suggestion effect is executed at a rate, in the variable display with these super reach ε and super reach θ fluctuation patterns, the reach effect G develops after the execution of the reach effect C and the reach effect D. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by drawing the player's attention to whether or not the suggestion effect is executed.

FIG. 11-31 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S029SGS289 of FIG. 11-22 as the chance-up effect determination process. In the chance-up effect determination process shown in FIGS. 11-31, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a non-reach or normal reach variation pattern (step 029SGS340). When the variable display variation pattern is a non-reach or normal reach variation pattern (step 029SGS340; Y), the chance-up effect determination process is completed, and when the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern, the chance-up effect determination process is completed. Further, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ (step 029SGS341).

When the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ (step 029SGS341; Y), the chance-up effect determination process is finished, and when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is not the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ (step). 029SGS341; N) further determines whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is a variation pattern of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029 SGS 342).

When the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is any of the fluctuation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, super reach δ, super reach ζ, super reach η, and super reach λ (step 029SGS342; N), the variable display is further changed. It is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the display is the fluctuation pattern of super reach α or super reach η (step 029SGS343). When the variable display fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach α or super reach η (step 029SGS343; Y), the effect control CPU 120 executes the chance-up effect during the execution of the reach effect A according to the variable display result. The presence / absence and the effect pattern are determined (step 029SGS344).

Here, the contents of the effects in the reach effects A to I in the feature unit 029SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-32 (A) to 11-32 (E). As shown in FIGS. 11-32 (A) to 11-32 (I), the reach effect A to the reach effect I all include a reach title display period for displaying the title of each reach effect on the image display device 5. After that, the image display device 5 is composed of a battle effect execution period for displaying the battle effect between the ally character and the enemy character.

During the reach title display period of each of the reach effects A to I, the reach title can be displayed in red as a part of the chance-up effect (see FIG. 11-33 (A)).

Further, regarding the battle effect execution period of the reach effect A to the reach effect D, the movable body movable period in which the movable body 32 can be operated in the first half of the battle effect execution period and the cut-in image can be displayed on the image display device 5. There is a cut-in image displayable period, and as part of the chance-up effect, the movement of the movable body 32 during the movable body movable period and the display of the cut-in image during the cut-in image displayable period can be executed. (See FIG. 11-33 (A)).

Regarding the battle effect execution period of the reach effect C and the reach effect D, a branch destination suggestion effect executeable period is provided after the movable body movable period and the cut-in image displayable period.

Regarding the battle execution period of the reach effect E and the reach effect F, a movable body movable period is provided in the first half of the battle effect execution period, and the latter half of the battle effect execution period (end of the battle effect). In the vicinity of the timing), the image display device 5 urges the player to operate the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A in order to notify the variable display result in response to the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A. Operation to display the promotion image A promotion image display period is provided. The operation promotion image display period is usually a period during which the image of the push button 31B is displayed.

In this feature unit 029SG, during the battle execution period between the reach effect E and the reach effect F, the movement of the movable body during the movable body movable period and the image of the stick controller 31A during the operation promotion image display period as part of the chance-up effect. Can be executed (see FIG. 11-33 (B)).

The reach effect G, reach effect H, and reach effect I are not provided with a movable body movable period, a cut-in image display period, and an operation promotion image display period. That is, the reach effect G, the reach effect H, and the reach effect I are reach effects in which the chance-up effect is not executed.

Returning to step 029SGS344 of FIG. 11-31, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (A), the effect control CPU 120 discontinues the chance-up effect at a rate of 60% when the variable display result is incorrect. Determined, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern P is determined at a rate of 35%, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern Q is determined at a rate of 5%, and the execution in the chance-up effect pattern R is 0. Determined at a rate of%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 5%, the execution of the chance-up effect pattern P is determined at a rate of 35%, and the chance-up effect pattern. The execution in Q is determined at a rate of 60%, and the execution in pattern R of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 0%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect A is being executed is determined (step 029SGS345). If it is not decided to execute the chance-up effect during the reach effect A (step 029SGS345; N), the process proceeds to step 029SGS347, and if it is decided to execute the chance-up effect during the reach effect A (step 029SGS345; Y). Stores the determined effect pattern, sets the chance-up effect start timer for reach effect A according to the fluctuation pattern, and proceeds to step 029SGS347 (step 029SGS346).

In step 029SGS347, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η (step 029SGS347). When the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach α (step 029SGS347; N), the chance-up effect determination process is finished, and when the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach η (step). 029SGS347; Y) determines whether or not the chance-up effect during the reach effect F is being executed and the effect pattern are determined according to the variable display result (step 029SGS348).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (B), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 40%, and the chance-up effect pattern S is used. The execution is determined at a rate of 30%, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern T is determined at a rate of 20%, and the execution in the chance-up effect pattern U is determined at a rate of 10%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 10%, the execution in the pattern S of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 20%, and the pattern of the chance-up effect is determined. The execution in T is determined at a rate of 30%, and the execution in pattern U of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 40%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect F execution is determined (step 029SGS349). When the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect F is not decided (step 029SGS349; N), the chance-up effect determination process is finished and the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect F is decided. (Step 029SGS349; Y) stores the determined effect pattern, sets the chance-up effect start timer for reach effect F according to the fluctuation pattern, and ends the chance-up effect determination process (step 029SGS350).

Further, in step 029SGS343, when the variation pattern of the variable display is any one of super reach β, super reach δ, and super reach ζ (step 029SGS343; N), the effect control CPU 120 produces a reach effect according to the variable display result. B Whether or not to execute the chance-up effect during execution and the effect pattern are determined (step 029SGS351).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (C), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 40%, and the chance-up effect pattern P is used. The execution is determined at a rate of 30%, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern Q is determined at a rate of 20%, and the execution in the chance-up effect pattern R is determined at a rate of 10%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 10%, the execution of the chance-up effect pattern P is determined at a rate of 20%, and the chance-up effect pattern is determined. The execution in Q is determined at a rate of 30%, and the execution in pattern R of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 40%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect B execution is determined (step 029SGS352). If it is not decided to execute the chance-up effect during the reach effect B (step 029SGS352; N), the process proceeds to step 029SGS354, and if it is decided to execute the chance-up effect during the reach effect B (step 029SGS352; Y). Stores the determined effect pattern, sets the chance-up effect start timer for reach effect B according to the fluctuation pattern, and proceeds to step 029SGS354 (step 029SGS353).

In step 029SGS354, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ (step 029SGS354). When the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is a fluctuation pattern of super reach β or super reach δ (step 029SGS354; N), the chance-up effect determination process is terminated, and the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ. In a certain case (step 029SGS354; Y), whether or not the chance-up effect during the reach effect E is being executed and the effect pattern are determined according to the variable display result (step 029SGS355).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (D), when the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 60%, and the chance-up effect pattern S is used. The execution is determined at a rate of 35%, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern T is determined at a rate of 5%, and the execution in the chance-up effect pattern U is determined at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 5%, the execution in the pattern S of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 35%, and the pattern of the chance-up effect is determined. The execution in T is determined at a rate of 60%, and the execution in pattern U of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 0%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect E execution is determined (step 029SGS356). When the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect E is not decided (step 029SGS356; N), the chance-up effect determination process is finished and the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect E is decided. (Step 029SGS356; Y) stores the determined effect pattern, sets the chance-up effect start timer for reach effect E according to the fluctuation pattern, and ends the chance-up effect determination process (step 029SGS357).

Further, in the process of step 029SGS342, when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is any of the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029 SGS342; Y), the effect is produced. The control CPU 120 further determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is one of the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ and super reach ε (step 029SGS358).

When the variation pattern of the variable display is any of the variation patterns of super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ (step 029SGS358; N), the chance-up effect determination process is terminated, and the variation pattern of the variable display is changed. In the case of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ or the super reach ε (step 029SGS358; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the reach effect C or the reach effect D is being executed and the chance up effect is executed according to the variable display result. The production pattern is determined (step 029SGS359).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (A), when the reach effect to be executed is the reach effect C, if the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is 60%. The execution in the chance-up effect pattern P is determined at a rate of 35%, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern Q is determined at a rate of 5%, and the execution in the chance-up effect pattern R is performed. Determined at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 5%, the execution of the chance-up effect pattern P is determined at a rate of 35%, and the chance-up effect pattern. The execution in Q is determined at a rate of 60%, and the execution in pattern R of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 0%.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (C), when the reach effect to be executed is the reach effect D, if the variable display result is out of alignment, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 40%. Then, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern P is decided at a rate of 30%, the execution in the chance-up effect pattern Q is decided at a rate of 20%, and the execution in the chance-up effect pattern R is 10%. Determined by the ratio of. If the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 10%, the execution of the chance-up effect pattern P is determined at a rate of 20%, and the chance-up effect pattern is determined. The execution in Q is determined at a rate of 30%, and the execution in pattern R of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 40%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the chance-up effect during the execution of the reach effect C or the reach effect D is determined (step 029SGS360). If the execution of the chance-up effect during the reach effect C or the reach effect D is not decided (step 029SGS360; N), the chance-up effect determination process is finished, and the chance-up effect during the reach effect C or the reach effect D is being executed. When the execution of (step 029SGS360; Y) is determined, the determined effect pattern is memorized, and the chance-up effect determination process for the reach effect C or the chance-up effect start timer for the reach effect D is set according to the fluctuation pattern. (Step 029SGS361).

When the execution of the chance-up effect is determined, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the chance-up effect start waiting timer by -1 each time the effect processing during variable display is executed, and the chance-up effect start waiting timer is set. Determine if the value has timered out. At this time, if the timer for waiting for the start of the chance-up effect has timed out, the process table for the chance-up effect is selected and the process timer for the chance-up effect is started. After that, the value of the chance-up effect process timer is decremented by -1 each time the variable display effect process is executed, and it is determined whether or not the chance-up effect process timer has timed out. If the chance-up effect process timer is not timer-out, control of the effect device is executed according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the chance-up effect process timer, and if the chance-up effect process timer is timer-out. , Switch the process data and start the next process data. By doing so, it is possible to execute the chance-up effect during the variable display.

In particular, in this feature unit 029SG, the jackpot expectation differs depending on whether or not the chance-up effect is executed and the number of times the chance-up effect is executed during the execution period of the reach effect. Whether or not the player can be made to pay attention to the number of times the chance-up effect is executed, and the game interest can be improved.

Furthermore, in reach productions with relatively low expectation of big hits such as reach production A to reach production D, chance-up production is executed up to three times, so that chance-up production is performed during execution of reach production A to reach production D. It is possible to suggest to the player that the variable display result becomes a big hit effectively according to the number of times of execution.

On the other hand, in reach productions with high expectation of big hits such as reach production G to reach production I, there is only one chance-up production that can be executed during the reach production, so there are multiple chance-up productions. It is prevented that the performance of the reach production, which has a high expectation of a big hit, is lowered by the execution.

As shown in FIGS. 11-34 (E), among the effect patterns of the chance-up effect in the reach effect A to the reach effect D, the pattern P executes the red display of the reach title, but is the operation of the movable body 32. The cut-in image display is an effect pattern that is not executed, the pattern Q is an effect pattern that executes the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32 but does not display the cut-in image, and the pattern R is the effect pattern of the reach title. It is an effect pattern that executes all of the red display, the operation of the movable body 32, and the display of the cut-in image.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-34 (F), among the effect patterns of the chance-up effect in the reach effect E and the reach effect F, the pattern S executes the red display of the reach title, but is the operation of the movable body 32. The display of the image of the stick controller 31A is an effect pattern that is not executed, the pattern Q is an effect pattern that executes the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32, but does not display the image of the stick controller 31A, and the pattern R is an effect pattern. , The red display of the reach title, the operation of the movable body 32, and the display of the image of the stick controller 31A are all the effect patterns.

As described above, as the chance-up effect of the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-34 (A) to 11-34 (D), the chance-up effect as a whole in the reach effect A to the reach effect D is a chance increase. When the effect is non-execution, the jackpot expectation is set to be the lowest, and when the chance-up effect is executed in pattern P, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the chance-up effect is non-execution. There is. When the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern Q, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern P. When the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern R, the expectation of a big hit is set higher than that in the case where the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern Q (the big hit of the chance-up effect in the reach effect A to the reach effect D). Expectation: Pattern R> Pattern Q> Pattern P> Non-execution).

Further, as for the chance-up effect as a whole in the reach effect E and the reach effect F, the jackpot expectation is set to be the lowest when the chance-up effect is not executed, and when the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern S, it is set. The jackpot expectation is set higher than when the chance-up effect is not executed. When the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern T, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern S. When the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern RU, the jackpot expectation is set higher than when the chance-up effect is executed in the pattern T (the big hit of the chance-up effect in the reach effect E and the reach effect F). Expectation: Pattern U> Pattern T> Pattern S> Non-execution).

Here, comparing the case where the reach effect A to the reach effect D is executed and the case where the reach effect E or the reach effect F is executed, the pattern P and the pattern Q are common in the reach effect A to the reach effect D. While it is set as an effect pattern that can be executed in, the pattern R can be executed only when the reach effect B or the reach effect D is executed. That is, while the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32 can be executed in any of the reach effect A to the reach effect D, the cut-in image 029SG200 is displayed only in the reach effect B and the reach effect D. It is a production that can be performed.

Further, comparing the case where the reach effect E is executed and the case where the reach effect F is executed, in the reach effect E and the reach effect F, the pattern S and the pattern T are set as commonly executable effect patterns. On the other hand, the pattern U can be executed only when the reach effect F is executed. That is, the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32 are effects that can be executed by either the reach effect E or the reach effect F, while the display of the stick controller 31A image as the operation promotion image is the reach effect F. It is a production that can be performed only in.

Next, the effect mode of the variable display of the super reach in the feature unit 029SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-35 to 11-56. First, a case where the reach effect A is executed as the reach effect of the super reach will be described. The meter 029SG005M at the start timing of the variable display is displayed as a state in which it has not increased by one step. As shown in FIGS. 11-35 (A) to 11-35 (D), the execution of the meter effect is determined at the start of the variable display (when the execution in the pattern D or the pattern E is determined in the feature unit 029SG). (Disclosure), the meter 029SG005M is incremented by one step each at the first timing, the second timing, and the third timing after the reach, which are the timings before the reach.

As shown in FIGS. 11-35 (E) and 11-35 (F), when the reach effect A is started, the title image of the reach effect A and the jackpot expectation of the reach effect A are first displayed on the image display device 5. The expected degree image 029SG251 showing the degree is displayed. At this time, if the execution of the chance-up effect is not decided, the title image 029SG161A whose title character is black is displayed as the title image of the reach effect A, while any one of the pattern P, the pattern Q, and the pattern R is displayed. When the execution of the chance-up effect is determined by the effect pattern of, the title image 029SG161B whose title is red is displayed as the title image of the reach effect A.

Then, when the display of the title image of the reach effect A is completed, as shown in FIG. 11-35 (G), the battle effect by the ally character A and the enemy character A is started. As shown in FIG. 11-36 (H), the meter 029SG005M is further increased by one step at the fourth timing even during the battle production.

Further, during the battle effect, if the execution of the chance-up effect is determined by the effect pattern of pattern Q or pattern R, as shown in FIG. 11-36 (I), from the origin position of the movable body 32. The operation toward the production position is executed. The operation of the movable body 32 as a chance-up effect is a movement from the origin position to the effect position, but the movement of the movable body 32 ends at an intermediate position between the origin position and the effect position. After that, the movable body 32 returns from the intermediate position to the origin position.

Further, when the execution of the chance-up effect is determined by the effect pattern of the pattern R, the cut-in image 029SG200 is displayed in the image display device 5 as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (J) and 11-36 (K). Is displayed.

Then, when the variable display is a variable display of the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2) out of the super reach α, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (L) and 11-36 (M), the effect of the battle effect is produced. As a result, when the ally character A is defeated by the enemy character A, it is notified that the variable display result is out of order, and after the battle effect (reach effect A) is completed, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination indicating that they are out of order.

On the other hand, when the variable display is a variable display of the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) of the super reach α jackpot, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (N) and 11-36 (O), the battle effect is produced. As a result of the effect, when the ally character A defeats the enemy character A, it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit, and after the battle effect (reach effect A) is completed, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination indicating the big hit.

When the variable display is the variable display of the super reach η, as shown in FIGS. 11-37 (P) and 11-37 (Q), at the fifth timing after the end of the cut-in image displayable period. The meter 029SG005M is further increased by one step (increased to five steps) and becomes full. Then, a telop image 029SG005T is displayed in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5 to notify that the meter 029SG005M has increased to 5 stages (full tank) and that the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed. Will be done.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-37 (R), the battle effect is interrupted in the middle, and instead of the battle effect, the high-expectation reach effect development notification image is displayed on the image display device 5 as the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect. The display of 029SG180 is executed. Then, the reach effect F is started. The details of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect will be described later in FIGS. 11-55.

As shown in FIGS. 11-37 (S) and 11-37 (T), when the reach effect F is started, the title image of the reach effect F and the jackpot expectation of the reach effect A are first displayed on the image display device 5. The expected degree image 029SG256 showing the degree is displayed. At this time, if the execution of the chance-up effect is not decided, the title image 029SG166A whose title character is black is displayed as the title image of the reach effect F, while any one of the pattern S, the pattern T, and the pattern U. When the execution of the chance-up effect is determined by the effect pattern of, the title image 029SG166B whose title character is red is displayed as the title image of the reach effect F.

Then, when the display of the title image of the reach effect F is completed, as shown in FIG. 11-37 (U), the battle effect by the ally character B and the enemy character B is started. During the battle effect, if the execution of the chance-up effect is determined by the effect pattern of pattern T or pattern U, it is movable as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (V) and 11-36 (W). The operation (movement) from the origin position of the body 32 to the intermediate position is executed. After that, the movable body 32 returns from the intermediate position to the origin position.

As the battle effect progresses, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (X), 11-38 (Y), and 11-38 (Z), the player is asked to reach the player in the central portion of the display area of the image display device 5. An operation promotion image prompting the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A is displayed. At this time, if the execution of the chance-up effect is not determined by the effect pattern of pattern U, the image of the push button 31B is displayed as the operation promotion image, while the effect pattern of pattern U is used to produce the chance-up effect. When the execution is decided, the image of the stick controller 31A is displayed as the operation promotion image.

After the operation promotion image is displayed on the image display device 5, when the player operates the operation means such as the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A, or when the operation acceptance period of these operation means ends, the battle effect is produced. The variable display result is notified as the effect result.

Specifically, when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display is the fluctuation pattern (PA2-8) out of the super reach η, as shown in FIGS. 11-39 (a) and 11-39 (b), the battle As a result of the effect, it is notified that the variable display result is out of order due to the defeat of the ally character B to the enemy character B, and after the battle effect (reach effect F) is completed, the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in a combination indicating the omission. NS.

On the other hand, when the variable display is a variable display of the fluctuation pattern (PB1-6) of the super reach η jackpot, as shown in FIGS. 11-39 (c) and 11-39 (d), the battle effect is produced. As a result of the effect, when the ally character B defeats the enemy character B, it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit, and after the battle effect (reach effect F) is completed, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination indicating the big hit.

Next, a case where the reach effect B is executed as the reach effect of the super reach will be described. The meter 029SG005M at the start timing of the variable display is displayed as a state in which it has not increased by one step.

The production mode of the high-expectation reach effect development notification production is the same as the production mode described above in FIGS. 11-55. After the execution of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect, as shown in FIGS. 11-53, the reach effect I is executed, and finally it is notified that the variable display result is off or a big hit.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-8 and 11-9, the length L7 of the execution period of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is the reach effect E development notification. The length of the execution period of the effect is set longer than L6b, and the reach effect E is executed after the reach effect E development notification effect is started, and the variable display result is a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect E. For the length L11 until the notification is made, the reach effect F is executed after the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is started, and the variable display result is notified as a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect F. The length of the period up to L12 and the period from the start of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect to the execution of the reach effect I and the notification that the variable display result is a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect I. Since the length is set to be shorter than L13, when the reach effect E is executed after the reach effect E development suggestion effect is executed, the period until the notification that the variable display result becomes a big hit is notified. However, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest due to the excessive prolongation of the game. Further, when the reach effect I is executed after the execution of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect, the player is preferably focused on the reach effect I until the variable display result is notified that the jackpot is a big hit. Because it can be done, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-7, the length L2 of the execution period of the reach effect B is set longer than the length L1 of the execution period of the r-value effect A, so that it is longer than the reach effect A. It is possible to draw the player's attention to the reach production B over the period, and it is possible to improve the game interest. Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 to 11-9, the reach effect B is different from the reach effect A in that the development notification effect is executed before the variable display result is notified as the effect result. Therefore, even if the reach effect E development notification effect is not executed, the player is surely paid attention to whether or not the variable display result is notified as a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect B. It is possible.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 to 11-9, when the meter effect is executed as an effect suggesting the execution of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect during the execution of the reach effect A and the reach effect B. Therefore, it is possible to arouse the player's expectation that the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed by the execution of the meter effect.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, a mode in which the meter effect can be executed is illustrated as an effect suggesting the execution of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect is not limited to this. Alternatively or additionally, the execution of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect may be suggested by the sound output mode from the speakers 8L and 8R, the light emission mode of the game effect lamp 9, and the like.

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a mode in which the meter effect can be executed only when the reach effect A and the reach effect B are executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach effect C and the reach effect are not limited to this. Even when D is executed, the meter effect may be executed. In particular, in the variable display of the super reach κ, in which the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect and reach effect I are executed after the advance effect and the precursor effect are executed from the middle of the reach effect C and the reach effect D. , A case may be provided in which the meter 029SG005M is increased to the fifth stage (changes to a display mode for notifying the execution of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect) triggered by the advance effect or the precursor effect. By doing so, whether or not the meter 029SG005M increases to the 5th stage during the execution of the pre-effect or precursor effect by the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ι and the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to the game, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-9 and 11-25, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ, the meter 029SG005M increases to the fifth stage at once at the second timing without going through the execution of the reach effect A. Since the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed, even if the reach effect A is not executed, the player is asked to perform the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect and the reach effect I. Since it can be noticed, it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

In the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 to 11-9, when the reach effect B is executed, the high expectation reach effect development notification effect and the reach effect I may be executed. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention may be provided in which the high expectation reach effect development notification effect and the reach effect I are executed after the reach effect B is executed. By doing so, even when the reach effect B is executed, the player can pay attention to whether or not the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect and the reach effect I are executed. You can improve your interest.

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a mode in which the meter 029SG005M is increased by one step from the first timing to the fifth timing as a meter effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter 029SG005M is not limited to this. A case may be provided in which the number is increased by two or more steps at any timing. Further, when the timing for increasing the meter 029SG005M by two or more steps is set in any of the first timing to the fifth timing in this way, the meter 029SG005M is set at a timing before the reach effect A and the reach effect B are started. The rate of development to reach effect I may differ depending on whether the number increases to the fifth stage or the meter 029SG005M increases to the fifth stage at the timing after the reach effect A or reach effect B is started. Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a form in which the display mode of the meter 029SG005M can be changed up to the fifth stage as a meter effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect is the meter 029SG005M. The display mode may be changed in 4 steps or less or 6 steps or more.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-8 and 11-9, the reach effect I is executed after the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is started, and the variable display result is a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect I. The length of the period until the notification is L13 is from the start of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect until the reach effect F is executed and the variable display result is notified as a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect F. Since the length of the period is set longer than L12, it is controlled to the jackpot game state by lengthening the period until the effect result is notified when the reach effect I with a higher expectation of big hit is executed. It is possible to effectively raise the feeling of expectation.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-23 to 11-25, the meter effect suggesting the execution of the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect in the feature unit 029SG is maximum from the first timing to the fifth timing of the variable display. This is an effect in which the display mode changes step by step in 5 stages (6 stages if the state in which the meter effect is not executed) is included. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-45, in the reach effect E development suggestion effect suggesting the execution of the reach effect E in the feature unit 029SG, the display mode of the reach effect E development suggestion image 029SG170 changes over two stages. It is a production that will be done. That is, in the present feature unit 029SG, the display mode of the meter 029SG005M can be changed up to 5 stages as the meter effect, but the display mode of the reach effect E development suggestion image 029SG170 is 2 stages as the reach effect E development suggestion effect. Can only change up to. For this reason, in the meter production, the image to be produced (meter 029SG005M) is more likely to change up to the fifth stage than the reach effect E development suggestion effect, so that the player pays attention to whether or not the meter 029SG005M increases to the fifth stage. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

In this feature unit 029SG, the display mode of the meter 029SG005M can be changed up to the fifth stage as the meter effect, while the display mode of the reach effect E development suggestion image 029SG170 is changed to the second stage as the reach effect E development suggestion effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display mode of the reach effect E development suggestion image 029SG170 may be changed up to the fifth stage as the reach effect E development suggestion effect. In this way, when the display mode of the reach effect E development suggestion image 029SG170 can be changed up to the fifth stage as the reach effect E development suggestion effect, the display mode of the reach effect E development suggestion image 029SG170 can be changed up to the fifth stage. The rate of change may be set lower than the rate at which the display mode of the meter 029SG005M changes up to the fifth stage.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 to 11-9, in the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ and the super reach ζ, the length L5 of the meter effect enablement period can execute the reach effect E development suggestion effect. Since the period length is set longer than L6a, the reach effect E, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the reach effect A, is executed after the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed. Since it can be suggested for a longer period of time than the reach effect E being executed after the execution of the development notification effect is suggested, the game entertainment can be improved.

The feature unit 029SG exemplifies a mode in which the length L5 of the meter effect executable period is set longer than the length L6a of the reach effect E development suggestion effect executable period, but the present invention is limited to this. The length L5 of the meter effect feasible period may be set shorter than the length L6a of the reach effect E development suggestion effect feasible period.

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a form in which the meter 029SG005M can be displayed on the image display device 5 even when the execution of the meter effect is determined, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The meter 029SG005M may be displayed on the image display device 5 only when the execution of the meter effect is determined. Further, the meter 029SG005M may be displayed on the image display device 5 for the first time at the first stage increase timing.

Further, since the reach effect E development suggestion effect is an effect that can be executed after the variable display result (off) is notified as the effect result of the reach effect B, the reach effect E develops during the execution of the reach effect B. By executing the suggestion effect, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the game interest due to the player recognizing that the variable display result is not notified as a result of the effect of the reach effect B as a big hit.

In this feature unit 029SG, as a pattern that develops from the reach effect B to the reach effect E, the reach effect E development notification effect and the reach effect E are executed after the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect B. Although only the pattern to be performed (see FIG. 1-8 (F)) is disclosed, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pattern that develops from the reach effect B to the reach effect E is the reach effect B. A case may be provided in which the reach effect E development notification effect and the reach effect E are executed before the variable display result is notified as the effect result of. In this way, when the case where the reach effect E development notification effect and the reach effect E are executed before the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect B is provided, the case is provided during the execution of the reach effect B. Reach production E The development suggestion production may be feasible.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 to 11-34, the chance-up effect can be executed during the execution of the reach effect A to the reach effect F, and the chance-up effect is executed in any of the effect patterns. Expectations for big hits differ depending on the crab.

In particular, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η that executes the reach effect F after the reach effect A, the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32 are performed twice in total during the execution of the reach effect A. While it is possible to execute the effect that constitutes the chance-up effect, during the execution of the reach effect F, the red display of the reach title and the movement of the movable body 32 and the stick controller 31A as an operation promotion image are displayed. It is possible to execute an effect that constitutes a chance-up effect over a total of three times of image display. For this reason, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η, the number of executions of the effects constituting the chance-up effect increases when the reach effect F is executed rather than when the reach effect A is executed. It is possible to preferably draw the player's attention to the effect result of the effect F.

Furthermore, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ that executes the reach effect E after the execution of the reach effect B, the red display of the reach title and the operation and cut of the movable body 32 are performed during the execution of the reach effect B. While it is possible to execute the effect that constitutes the chance-up effect three times in total with the display of the in-image 029SG200, during the execution of the reach effect E, the reach title is displayed in red and movable as the chance-up effect. It is possible to execute an effect that constitutes a chance-up effect twice in total, including the movement of the body 32. For this reason, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ, the reach effect is produced because the number of times the effect constituting the chance-up effect is executed is smaller during the reach effect E than during the reach effect B. Since it is possible to prevent the player from paying excessive attention to the effect result of E, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

In this feature unit 029SG, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ that executes the reach effect E after the execution of the reach effect B, the red display of the reach title and the movable body are displayed during the execution of the reach effect B. While it is possible to execute an effect that constitutes a chance-up effect three times in total, which is the operation of 32 and the display of the cut-in image 029SG200, the reach title is used as the chance-up effect during the execution of the reach effect E. Although the embodiment in which the effect constituting the chance-up effect can be executed twice in total, that is, the red display of the above and the operation of the movable body 32, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach is not limited to this. Execute reach effect E after executing effect B Regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of super reach ζ, during the execution of reach effect B, the same number of effects that make up the chance-up effect can be executed as during the execution of reach effect E. May be.

In this feature unit 029SG, as the effects constituting the chance-up effect, the red display of the reach title, the operation of the movable body 32, the display of the cut-in image 029SG200, and the display of the image of the stick controller 31A as the operation promotion image are exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, light emission in a specific pattern of the game effect lamp 9, output of specific sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, light emission of the light guide plate, and an image display device 5. The display of the light guide plate (pseudo light guide plate) in the above, the operation of the image display device 5 itself, and the like may be included in the effect constituting the chance-up effect.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as the effects constituting the chance-up effect, the red display of the reach title, the operation of the movable body 32, the display of the cut-in image 029SG200, the display of the image of the stick controller 31A as the operation promotion image, etc. In each case, an effect (active effect) that is executed regardless of the operation of the player is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the player constitutes the chance-up effect. An effect (active) that is executed only when the player performs an operation such as changing the emission color of the game effect lamp 9 by operating an operating means such as a push button 31B or a stick controller 31A (so-called back button). (Direction) may be included.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 to 11-9 and 11-30, the variable display of the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ is executed. It is possible to determine the reach effect of the super reach to be performed from the reach effect C and the reach effect D having a higher expectation of a big hit than the reach effect C. Then, when the pre-effect and the precursor effect are executed and the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed before the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D, the reach effect is performed. When the reach effect G development notification effect is executed after I is executed and the variable display result (missing) is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D, the reach with a lower expectation of big hit than the reach effect I. The production G is executed.

Further, when the pre-effect and the precursor effect are executed and the reach effect H development notification effect is executed before the variable display result is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D, the reach effect I Since the reach effect H, which has a low expectation of a big hit, is executed, the effect can be diversified by combining the type of reach effect and the development notification effect.

In particular, regarding the variable display of the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ, super reach ε, super reach θ, super reach ι, and super reach κ, the ratios shown in FIGS. 11-30 (A) and 11-30 (B) are used. By deciding whether to execute the reach effect C or the reach effect D, the precursor effect is executed when the execution of the reach effect C is decided than when the execution of the reach effect D is decided. Since the ratio of the reach effect I (high expectation reach effect development notification effect) to be executed after that is set high, the reach effect to be executed and the high expectation reach effect development notification effect have a predetermined relationship. It is possible to improve the production of reach production and development notification production.

Further, in this feature unit 029SG, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ, the super reach ε, the super reach θ, the super reach ι, and the super reach κ, the reach effect to be executed is determined from the reach effect C and the reach effect D. Although the possible forms have been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation pattern in which the reach effect C is executed during the variable display and the variation pattern in which the reach effect D is executed during the variable display are individually defined. It may be provided in.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-34, the feature unit 029SG determines whether or not the chance-up effect is executed and the effect pattern at different ratios according to the variable display result. That is, the chance-up effect is the reach effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. As for the feasible chance-up effect, it may be feasible as an effect suggesting that any of reach effect E to reach effect I is executed (development to any of reach effect E to reach effect I). ..

Furthermore, as a chance-up effect, in addition to the fact that the variable display result becomes a big hit and one of the reach effect E to the reach effect I is executed, the big hit game when the variable display result becomes a big hit. It may be possible to suggest that the number of rounds is 10 rounds, that the game is controlled to a probabilistic state after the big hit game is completed, and the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-9, there are cases where the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed after the reach effect C or reach effect D is executed, and after the reach effect C or reach effect D is executed. When the reach effect H development notification effect is executed, the advance effect is executed because a common pre-effect can be executed during the period between the reach effect C or the reach effect D and the development notification effect. This makes it possible to raise the player's attention to the development notification effect, and to draw the player's attention to whether the development notification effect is the high-expectation reach effect or the reach effect H development notification effect. You can improve the entertainment of the game.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-7 to 11-9 and 11-27 to 11-28, during the execution period of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, the reach effect C or the reach effect D is executed. Later, it suggests which of the reach production H development notification production and the high expectation reach production development notification production will be executed, and both the reach production H development notification production execution and the high expectation reach production development notification production execution. Since it is possible to execute the possible branch destination suggestion effect, while raising the player's attention to the fact that the development notification effect is executed by executing the development destination suggestion effect, the reach effect H development notification effect and It is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the high-expectation reach production development notification production is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

Further, in this feature unit 029SG, as the development destination suggestion effect, a form in which it is possible to suggest that the reach effect H development notification effect is executed and the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed is illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to suggest that the reach effect G development notification effect is executed as the development destination suggestion effect.

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a mode in which the development destination suggestion effect can be executed by the variable display of the reach effect C or the variation pattern that executes the reach effect C, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the variable display of the variation pattern for executing the reach effect A and the variable display of the variation pattern for executing the reach effect B, the development destination suggestion effect may be executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-30 (D), the high expectation reach effect development notification effect and the reach effect I are executed before the effect result is notified as the reach effect C or the reach effect D. The variable display result is a big hit for the fluctuation pattern of κ and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ in which the reach effect G development notification effect and the reach effect G are executed after the effect result is notified as the reach effect C or the reach effect D. When it becomes, the difference between the ratio at which the reach effect C is executed and the ratio at which the reach effect D is executed in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ is 60%, whereas the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ Since the difference between the ratio at which the reach effect C is executed and the ratio at which the reach effect D is executed in the variable display of is 40%, the reach effect I depends on whether the reach effect C or the reach effect D is executed. Is a variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ in which is executed, or a variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ in which the reach effect H is executed can be inferred. It is possible to draw the player's attention to which of D is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

In this feature unit 029SG, when the variable display result of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ is a big hit, the reach effect C is displayed by the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ. The difference between the execution rate and the reach effect D execution rate is the difference between the rate at which the reach effect C is executed and the rate at which the reach effect D is executed in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach effect C is executed by the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ in the case where the variable display result is out of alignment. The difference between the ratio to be performed and the ratio to execute the reach effect D is larger than the difference between the ratio to execute the reach effect C and the ratio to execute the reach effect D in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ. It may be set small.

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

For example, in the feature unit 029SG, a mode in which a first hold storage display area 029SG005D and a second hold storage display area 029SG005U capable of displaying a hold storage display can be provided in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5 is illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 11-57 as a modified example 029SG-1, a predetermined position of the display area of the image display device 5 (for example, the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5). An active display area 029SG005F that can display the hold storage display corresponding to the variable display during execution as the active display may be provided in the center).

Further, when the active display can be displayed in this way, a plurality of active display display modes are provided as in the above-mentioned look-ahead notice effect, and a big hit is expected depending on which display mode the active display is displayed. It may be possible to execute active display effects having different degrees. For example, when three types of active display display modes are provided, a white round shape, a blue round shape, and a red round shape, and the active display display mode is displayed in a red round shape, the highest hit expectation is It suffices if the jackpot expectation is set to be the lowest when it is displayed in a high, white circle (big hit expectation in the display mode of the active display: red> blue> white).

Furthermore, the display mode of the active display can be changed from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape during variable display, and the display mode of the active display can be changed during execution by changing the red round shape. It may be possible to suggest that the jackpot expectation of the display has increased.

When the display mode of the active display can be changed during the variable display in this way, as shown in FIGS. 11-58 (A) and 11-58 (B), the variable display result is the effect result of the reach effect B. Regarding the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ in which the reach effect E is executed after the (missing) is once notified, the display mode of the active display changes from the white circle shape or the blue circle shape during the execution of the reach effect E. The rate of change of the red circle is P1.

Further, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η in which the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed during the execution of the reach effect A and the reach effect F is further executed, the active display is performed during the execution of the reach effect A. The rate at which the display mode of is changed from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red round shape is P2, and the display mode of the active display is changed from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red shape during the execution of the reach effect F. Let P3 be the rate at which the round shape changes.

At this time, P3, which is the rate at which the display mode of the active display changes from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red round shape during the execution of the reach effect F, is displayed as the active display during the execution of the reach effect E. The mode is P1 which is the rate of change from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red round shape, and the display mode of the active display is from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red shape during the execution of the reach effect A. It may be set higher than P2, which is the rate of change to a round shape.

By doing so, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η (when the reach effect A is executed and the reach effect F is executed), the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is produced. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the player will be aware in advance that the reach effect F will be executed by changing the display mode of the active display to a red circle before the start. Further, in the case where the reach effect E is executed and the case where the reach effect F is executed, the display mode of the active display is a red circle at a higher rate in the reach effect F, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the reach effect E. By changing to, the display mode of the active display can be appropriately changed to a red circle according to the degree of expectation of a big hit, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in the modified example 029SG-1, in the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η, the display mode of the active display is changed from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape during the execution of the reach effect F. Although the changing rate P3 is higher than the rate P2 in which the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape during the execution of the reach effect A, the present invention exemplifies. The present invention is not limited to this, and as the modified example 029SG-2, in the variable display with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η as in the modified example 029SG-1, the display mode of the active display is white during the execution of the reach effect F. The rate P3 that changes from the round shape or blue round shape to the red round shape is changed from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red round shape during the execution of the reach effect A. In addition to setting the ratio higher than P2, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ, the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape during the execution of the reach effect E. The ratio P1 may be set higher than the ratio at which the display mode of the active display changes from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red round shape during the execution of the reach effect B.

In this way, a plurality of modes are provided as the active display modes, and the jackpot expectation is different depending on which display mode the active display is displayed, so that the player can easily recognize the jackpot expectation. , The display mode of the active display changes to a red circle before the reach effect E development notification effect or the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed, so that the player recognizes that the big hit expectation is high in advance. It is possible to reduce the risk of deterioration of the game entertainment due to the above.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ in which the high-expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed and the reach effect I is executed without going through the reach effects such as the reach effect A and the reach effect B. However, as a modification 029SG-3, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ, the display mode of the active display is changed from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red shape before the start of the reach effect I. The ratio P5 of changing to a round shape may be set higher than the ratio P6 of changing the display mode of the active display from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape after the start of the reach effect I. In this way, before the reach effect I is executed, the display mode of the active display changes from the white round shape or the blue round shape to the red round shape, so that the player is made aware in advance that the reach effect I is executed. Since it can be made easier, it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

In this modification 029SG-3, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ, the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape before the start of the reach effect I. The present invention exemplifies a mode in which the ratio P5 to be set is set higher than the ratio P6 in which the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape after the start of the reach effect I. Not limited to this, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach λ, the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape before the start of the reach effect I. The ratio P5 may be set lower than the ratio P6 in which the display mode of the active display changes from a white round shape or a blue round shape to a red round shape after the start of the reach effect I. By doing so, it is possible to create a situation in which the reach effect I is executed without going through another reach effect even though the display mode of the active display has not changed to a red circle. It is possible to add unexpectedness to the game and improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the feature portion 029SG and the modified example 029SG-1 to the modified example 029SG-3, three types of display modes of the hold storage display and the active display are provided: a white round shape, a blue round shape, and a red round shape. Although a mode in which the jackpot expectation is different depending on which display mode the hold storage display or the active display is displayed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold storage display or the active display is not limited to this. The number of display modes may be only two or four or more.

Further, in the modified examples 029SG-1 to the modified example 029SG-3, a mode in which the display mode of the active display can be changed during the execution of the reach effect is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this and is active. The change timing of the display mode may include a timing other than the execution of the reach effect, for example, the execution of the development suggestion effect and the development notification effect, the start timing of the variable display, and the like. Further, when it is possible to execute the pseudo continuous effect including the temporary stop and the revariable display of the decorative symbol during the variable display, the display mode of the active display may be changed at the timing of the temporary stop and the revariable display.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, three types of a white round shape, a blue round shape, and a red round shape are provided as display modes of the hold storage display, depending on which display mode the hold memory display is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. A shape or the like is provided, and it is suggested which of the reach effects E, the reach effect F, the reach effect G, the reach effect H, and the reach effect I will be developed depending on which shape the hold memory display is displayed. It may be possible. In this case, when the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination process and determines that the fluctuation pattern (variation category) is super reach, which of the super reach α to super reach λ is the fluctuation pattern? (Which of reach effect A to reach effect I is to be executed during variable display) is determined, and the super reach variation category command according to the determination (including information on which super reach variation pattern is to be executed). The variable category command) may be transmitted to the effect control board 12. By doing so, the effect control CPU 120 may determine the display mode of the hold storage table display from the round shape, the triangle shape, the quadrangle shape, the star shape, and the like based on the super reach variation category command received from the CPU 103. .. In addition, since it is possible to draw the player's attention to the shape of the hold memory display even before the start of the variable display, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the present modification 029SG-4, a form capable of suggesting a reach effect developed by the shape of the hold memory display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the color of the hold memory display is used. In addition to suggesting the degree of expectation of a big hit, the shape of the hold memory display may further suggest the reach effect of the development destination. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to both the color and the shape of the hold memory display, so that the game interest can be improved.

Further, in the present modification 029SG-4, a form in which the reach effect of the development destination can be suggested by the shape of the hold memory display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is developed by the shape of the hold memory display. The reach effect that can suggest the destination may be only a part of the reach effect E, the reach effect F, the reach effect G, the reach effect H, and the reach effect I (for example, only the reach effect E and the reach effect I). ..

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a form in which the characters of the reach title image can be displayed in red at the start of the reach effect A to the reach effect F as a chance-up effect, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, as a modified example 029SG-5, as a chance-up effect, the characters of the reach title image displayed in black may be changed to red from the middle. In particular, when the characters of the reach title image are changed to red from the middle as a chance-up effect in this way, the display mode of the expectation image indicating the jackpot expectation displayed together with the reach title image can be changed (for example). , The number of stars displayed as an expectation image may be increased, etc.). By doing so, the display mode of the expectation image changes as the color of the characters in the reach title image changes from black to red, so that the attention to the expectation image can be increased. It is possible to make the player accurately recognize the degree of expectation of reach production.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-28, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, the reach effect of the super reach to be executed is the reach effect C and the reach effect D. Although the embodiment in which the branch destination suggestion effect is executed and the effect pattern of the branch destination suggestion effect can be determined at the same ratio as in the case are illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach κ is used. Regarding the variable display in the variation pattern of, whether or not the branch destination suggestion effect is executed and the branch destination suggestion effect are executed at different ratios depending on whether the reach effect of the super reach to be executed is the reach effect C and the reach effect D. It may be possible to determine the production pattern of.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-59 as a modified example 029SG-6, before the variable display result is notified as the reach effect C or the reach effect C during the execution of the reach effect C or the reach effect D. In the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ in which the high expectation reach effect is executed, if the reach effect to be executed is determined to be the reach effect C, the non-execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is performed at a rate of 15%. Determined, the execution in the pattern X of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 30%, the execution in the pattern Y of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 20%, and the execution in the pattern Z of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined. Execution is determined at a rate of 35%. Further, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, when the reach effect to be executed is determined to be the reach effect D, the non-execution of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 10%, and the branch destination suggestion effect is determined. The execution in pattern X is determined at a rate of 30%, the execution in pattern Y of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 20%, and the execution in pattern Z of the branch destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 40%. do.

In particular, in the present modification 029SG-6, when the execution of the reach effect C is determined in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, the execution of the reach effect D is determined in the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach κ. Since the execution decision ratio of the branch destination suggestion effect is set higher than that of the case where the branch destination suggestion effect is not executed (the non-execution decision ratio of the branch destination suggestion effect is set lower), the reach effect H is set during the execution of the variable display. It is possible to preferably suggest that a development notification effect such as a development notification effect or a high-expectation reach effect is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

In the present modification 029SG-6, when the execution of the reach effect C is determined in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, the execution of the reach effect D is determined in the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach κ. Although the embodiment in which the execution decision ratio of the branch destination suggestion effect is set higher than that in the case where the above is performed, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ is not limited to this. When the execution of the effect C is determined, the execution decision ratio of the branch destination suggestion effect is set lower than when the execution of the reach effect D is determined in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ. May be good.

In addition, in the present modification 029SG-6, when the execution of the reach effect C is determined in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, the execution of the reach effect D is performed in the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach κ. Since the execution decision ratio in the branch destination suggestion effect pattern Z (effect pattern suggesting the execution of the high expectation reach effect development notification effect) is set higher than when it is determined, the variable display is being executed. In the above, it is possible to more preferably suggest that the development notification effect such as the reach effect H development notification effect and the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed, and the game entertainment can be improved.

In the modified example 029SG-6, when the execution of the reach effect C is determined in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, the execution of the reach effect D is determined in the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach κ. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation pattern of the super reach κ is illustrated. When the execution of the reach effect C is determined in the variable display of, the pattern Z of the branch destination suggestion effect is compared with the case where the execution of the reach effect D is determined in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ. The execution decision ratio may be set low.

Further, in the present modification 029SG-6, as shown in FIGS. 11-59, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, the reach effect of the super reach to be executed is the reach effect C and the reach effect D. Although examples have been made in which the presence or absence of execution of the branch destination suggestion effect and the effect pattern of the branch destination suggestion effect can be determined at different rates depending on the case, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach θ, Regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ι, whether or not the branch destination suggestion effect is executed and the branch are performed at different ratios depending on whether the reach effect of the super reach to be executed is the reach effect C or the reach effect D. It may be possible to determine the production pattern of the preceding suggestion effect.

Further, in the present modification 029SG-6, the branch destination suggestion effect that can be executed during the execution of the reach effect C (the first advantageous result suggestion effect in the invention 033SG) and the branch destination suggestion effect that can be executed during the execution of the reach effect D. (Invention 033SG, the second advantageous result suggestion effect) is illustrated as an effect that can be executed as an effect of the same effect mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach effect C is being executed. The feasible branch destination suggestion effect and the branch destination suggestion effect that can be executed during the execution of the reach effect D may be feasible as an effect of a different effect mode.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-5 to 11-9, the reach effect A to the reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and the reach effect E to the reach effect I can be selected. As for the notification mode in which the variable display result is notified without development, a notification mode (first notification mode) in which any one of the reach effect A to the reach effect D is executed and the variable display result is notified is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 029SG-7, reach effect A to reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and any one of reach effect E to reach effect I. Regarding the notification mode in which the variable display result is notified without developing into A second notification mode (so-called resurrection mode) may be provided in which the variable display result is notified as a big hit.

In this way, the reach effect A to the reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and the first notification mode is that the variable display result is notified without developing into any of the reach effect E to the reach effect I. When the notification mode and the second notification mode are provided, the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the pattern Z when the effect results (variable display results) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D are notified in the first notification mode. The ratio is the same as the ratio at which the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the pattern Z when the effect result (variable display result) of the reach effect C or the reach effect D is notified in the second notification mode. May be good.

In this way, the reach effect A to the reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and the second notification mode is a notification mode in which the variable display result is notified without developing into any of the reach effect E to the reach effect I. By providing the above, the player can be given a surprising feeling by being notified again that the variable display result is a big hit even though the variable display result is once notified that the variable display result is out of order. Further, the execution of the branch destination suggestion effect depending on whether the effect result (variable display result) when the reach effect C and the reach effect D are executed is notified in the first notification mode or the second notification mode. Since the process for determining the above can be standardized, the amount of data required for the process can be suppressed.

In this modification 029SG-7, the reach effect A to the reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and the variable display result is notified without developing into any of the reach effect E to the reach effect I. When the first notification mode and the second notification mode are provided as the modes, the branch destination suggestion effect is a pattern when the effect results (variable display results) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D are notified in the first notification mode. The ratio of execution in Z and the ratio of branch destination suggestion effect executed in pattern Z when the effect results (variable display results) of reach effect C and reach effect D are notified in the second notification mode are Although the same form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and reach effect A to reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and any one of reach effect E to reach effect I. When the first notification mode and the second notification mode are provided as the notification modes in which the variable display result is notified without developing into, the effect results (variable display results) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D are the first notification modes. When the rate at which the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the pattern Z and the effect result (variable display result) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D are notified in the second notification mode, the branch destination is notified. The rate at which the suggestion effect is performed in pattern Z may be different.

Further, in the modification 029SG-7, the reach effect A to the reach effect D are executed as the reach effect of the super reach, and the variable display result is notified without developing into any of the reach effect E to the reach effect I. Regarding the modes, the first notification mode in which any of the reach effect A to the reach effect D is executed and the variable display result is notified, and the variable display result is temporarily removed as the effect result of the reach effect A to the reach effect D. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and the modified example 029SG is illustrated. As -8, the reach effect C or the reach effect D is executed, and after being notified that the variable display result is out of order as the effect result of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, the reach effect G development notification effect and the reach effect G Is executed, and it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect G (when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern (PB1-7) of the super reach θ big hit). The rate at which the chance-up effect is executed during the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ jackpot is variable in which the effect results (variable display results) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D are notified in the second notification mode. It may be different from the rate at which the chance-up effect is executed on the display. By doing so, when the reach effect C and the reach effect D are executed, the execution ratio of the chance-up effect depends on whether or not the reach effect G is executed before the variable display result is notified that the jackpot is a big hit. Because it is possible to make different games, it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in this modification, the rate at which the chance-up effect is executed during the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ jackpot is the second notification mode in which the effect result (variable display result) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D is. Although a form different from the rate at which the chance-up effect is executed is illustrated in the variable display notified in, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ jackpot is in progress. The rate at which the chance-up effect is executed is the same as the rate at which the chance-up effect is executed in the variable display in which the effect results (variable display results) of the reach effect C and the reach effect D are notified in the second notification mode. There may be.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, the branch destination suggestion effect can be executed in a plurality of effect patterns, and the branch destination suggestion effect is executed depending on which effect pattern the branch destination suggestion effect is executed. High Expectation Reach Production We have illustrated a form in which the rate at which the development notification effect is executed is different. In particular, in the feature unit 029SG, the case where the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the effect pattern Z is illustrated as a form in which the highest expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed, but the present invention is limited to this. However, when the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the effect pattern Z, the high expectation reach effect development notification effect may be executed at an extremely high rate (for example, 99% rate).

In particular, in the case where the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed at an extremely high rate when the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the effect pattern Z, the branch destination suggestion effect is the effect pattern. When the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is not executed even though it is executed in Z, or when the reach effect I is executed even though the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is not executed (so-called). A pattern of production contradiction) may be provided. When such a pattern of effect contradiction is provided, the branch destination suggestion effect and reach effect I in the effect pattern Z are executed only when it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit. By doing so, it is possible to give a surprising feeling to the player, and when the branch destination suggestion effect is executed in the pattern Z or the reach effect I is executed, the high expectation reach effect development notification effect is executed. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is played, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIG. 11-30, after the variable display result (disappearance) is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, the reach effect G development notification effect and the reach effect G are further notified. Regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ in which is executed, an example is shown in which the execution decision ratio of the reach effect C and the execution decision ratio of the reach effect D are different. The present invention is not limited, and as the modified example 029SG-10, the execution decision ratio of the reach effect C and the execution decision ratio of the reach effect D may be the same for the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ. By doing so, the variable display result (off) is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D in both the case where the reach effect C is executed and the case where the reach effect D is executed. Since the player can expect that the reach effect development notification effect will be executed after it is performed, the game interest can be improved.

In the modified example 029SG-10, the execution decision ratio of the reach effect C and the execution decision ratio of the reach effect D are the same for the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ. Is not limited to this, and the variable display result is (off) as the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D in both the case where the reach effect C is executed and the case where the reach effect D is executed. ) Is notified, and if it is possible to produce an effect that the player can expect from the execution of the reach effect development notification effect, the execution decision ratio of the reach effect C and the execution decision ratio of the reach effect D Is small (for example, the difference between the execution decision ratio of the reach effect C and the execution decision ratio of the reach effect D is about 1% to 5%, that is, the execution decision ratio of the reach effect C and the execution decision ratio of the reach effect D. Are almost the same) and may be different.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIG. 11-30, after the variable display result (disappearance) is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, the reach effect G development notification effect and the reach effect G are further notified. Regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ in which is executed, the jackpot expectation when the execution of the reach effect C is decided is smaller than the jackpot expectation when the execution of the reach effect D is decided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 029SG-11, when the execution of the reach effect C is determined for the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ. The jackpot expectation and the jackpot expectation when the execution of the reach effect D is decided may be the same. By doing so, in both the case where the reach effect C is executed and the case where the reach effect is executed, when the reach effect G development notification effect is executed, the variable display result is obtained as the effect result of the reach effect G. Since the player can expect to be notified that the game will be a big hit, the game entertainment can be improved.

In this modified example 029SG-11, regarding the variable display in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ, the jackpot expectation when the execution of the reach effect C is decided and the jackpot when the execution of the reach effect D is decided. Although the form in which the degree of expectation is the same is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach effect C is executed and the reach effect is executed in both cases. Reach if it is possible to produce an effect that the player can expect to be notified that the variable display result will be a big hit as the effect result of the reach effect G when the effect G development notification effect is executed. The difference between the jackpot expectation of the production C and the jackpot expectation of the reach production D is small (for example, the difference between the jackpot expectation of the reach production C and the jackpot expectation of the reach production D is about 1% to 5%, that is, the reach production. The jackpot expectation of C and the jackpot expectation of reach effect D may be substantially the same).

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-34, the red display of the reach title, the operation of the movable body 32, the display of the cut-in image 029SG200, and the stick as the operation promotion image are used as the effects constituting the chance-up effect. The image of the controller 31A can be displayed, and the reach effect E development notification effect and the high expectation reach effect A to reach effect D and the reach effect E development notification effect and high expectation are executed in front of the reach effect development notification effect. The present invention exemplifies a form in which the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32 can be executed as a common effect in the reach effect E and the reach effect F executed before the degree reach effect development notification effect. As a modification 029SG-12, a common effect of the red display of these reach titles and the operation of the movable body 32 is executed in any of the reach effects A to F. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on the player. By doing so, while suppressing the increase in the number of effects that can be executed as the chance-up effect (the number of effect patterns of the chance-up effect), the red display of the reach title and the operation of the movable body 32 can execute either of the reach effects. Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not he / she is squeezed inside, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the feature unit 029SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-34, whether or not the chance-up effect is executed and the effect of the chance-up effect are different depending on whether the variable display result is a big hit or not. Although the form in which the pattern can be determined has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the presence / absence of execution of the chance-up effect and the effect pattern of the chance-up effect are any one of reach effect E to reach effect I. May be determined at different rates depending on whether or not is executed.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 11-60 as a modification 029SG-13, the high expectation reach effect development notification is made before the variable display result (off) is notified as the effect result of the reach effect C or the reach effect D. Regarding the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ in which the effect and the reach effect I are executed, the chance-up effect is produced at different ratios depending on whether the reach effect C is decided to be executed and the reach effect D is decided to be executed. It may be possible to determine whether or not to execute. In particular, in the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ, when the execution of the reach effect D is decided, the execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a higher rate than when the execution of the reach effect C is decided. When the execution of the reach effect D is decided, it is possible to suggest to the player that the jackpot expectation is high in an easy-to-understand manner, and the game interest can be improved.

Further, in the modified example 029SG-7, the second notification mode in which the variable display result is once notified that the variable display result is out of order as the effect result of the reach effect A to the reach effect D, and then the variable display result is notified again as a big hit. Although a mode in which (a so-called resurrection mode) is provided is illustrated, as the second notification mode, as shown in FIG. 11-61 (A) as a modified example 029SG-14, it is once notified that the variable display result is out of order. After that, a revival effect for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit may be executed between the time and the stop timing of the variable display.

In particular, when the revival effect is executed after it is once notified that the variable display result is out of order as the effect result of the reach effect A to the reach effect D (variation of any one of super reach α, super reach β, and super reach γ). (When variable display is executed in the pattern and a big hit is obtained), as shown in FIGS. 11-61 (A) to 11-61 (C), the length L21 of the effect period of the resurrection effect is set to the reach effect. When the reach effect E development suggestion effect, the reach effect E development notification effect, and the reach effect E are executed after the variable display result is once notified as the effect result of B (variable by the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ). The length of the period L22 from the start timing of the reach effect E development suggestion effect to the end timing of the reach effect E (variable display result notification timing), and the effect result of the reach effect C and the reach effect D. When the reach effect G development suggestion effect, the reach effect G development notification effect, and the reach effect G are executed after being notified that the variable display result is out of order (variable display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ). If the length of the period from the start timing of the reach effect G development suggestion effect to the end timing of the reach effect G (variable display result notification timing) is set shorter than L23, the effect becomes redundant. It may be possible to prevent the deterioration of the game interest due to (L22> L21, L23> 21).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-61 (A) to 11-61 (C), the length L21 of the effect period of the revival effect is set from the start timing of the reach effect E development suggestion effect to the reach effect E development notification effect. By setting it shorter than the length L32 of the period until the end timing of, or the length L33 from the start timing of the reach effect G development suggestion effect to the end timing of the reach effect G development notification effect, the variable display result can be obtained. It is possible to give unexpectedness to the notification that it is out of order.

Further, in the present modification 029SG-14, a mode in which the revival effect is executed after the variable display result is once notified as the effect result of the reach effect A to the reach effect D is illustrated. When the high expectation reach effect development notification effect and the reach effect F are executed from the execution of the reach effect A (variable display is executed by the fluctuation pattern of the super reach η and becomes a big hit. In the case), when the advance effect, the precursor effect, the reach effect H development notification effect, and the reach effect H are executed from the execution of the reach effect C and the reach effect D (variable display is executed by the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ι). When the reach effect C or reach effect D is being executed, the advance effect, the precursor effect, the high expectation reach effect development notification effect, and the reach effect I are executed (variable depending on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach κ). (When the display is executed and a big hit is obtained), a case where the revival effect is executed may be provided.

As shown in the feature section 029SG, the ratio of the reach effect A to the reach effect D being executed and becoming a big hit (big hit expectation) is the big hit when the reach effect F, the reach effect G, and the reach effect I are executed. Since it is set lower than the ratio (expected jackpot), when the variable display result is a jackpot, it is notified that the variable display result is once out of order as the effect result of reach effect A to reach effect D. By setting the ratio at which the revival effect is executed after that to be higher than the ratio at which the reach effect F, the reach effect G, and the reach effect I are executed and become a big hit, the reach effect A to the reach effect D are executed and variable. Even when it is notified that the display result is out of alignment, the player may be able to pay attention to the execution of the resurrection effect.

After the reach effect B is once notified that the variable display result is out of alignment as the effect result of the reach effect B, the reach effect E development suggestion effect, the reach effect E development notification effect, and the reach effect E are executed to become a big hit. In the case (when the variable display is executed by the fluctuation pattern of the super reach ζ and a big hit is obtained), or after being notified once that the variable display result is out of order as the effect result of the reach effect C or the reach effect D, the reach effect G The revival effect is also executed when the development suggestion effect, the reach effect G, the development notification effect, and the reach effect G are executed and a big hit is obtained (when the variable display is executed by the fluctuation pattern of the super reach θ and the big hit is obtained). A case may be provided, but in the case where the variable display is executed in these fluctuation patterns of the super reach ζ and the super reach θ, it is notified that the variable display result will be out of order once before the revival effect. In order to prevent the possibility that the variable display result will be out of order as the production result of the reach effect will be notified twice or more, the production will be redundant and the game interest will be deteriorated. If the variable display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of reach θ and it becomes a big hit, the revival effect is not executed, or the fluctuation pattern of super reach α to super reach γ, super reach η, super reach ι super reach κ is used. The revival effect may be executed at a lower rate than when the variable display is executed and a big hit is obtained.

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a mode in which the time can be controlled to a shorter time after the end of the big hit game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of times the variable display is executed is a specific number of times (for example, 900 times, etc.). ) May be controlled in a time-saving state, or in the case where the variable display result is out of alignment, it may be possible to control in a time-saving state according to the fact that some of the outliers are derived and displayed. good.

In particular, in the case of controlling the time saving state according to the number of times the variable display is executed reaching a specific number of times, or the case of controlling the time saving state according to the derivation display of a part of the deviation. , The high expectation reach effect development notification effect shown in the feature unit 029SG, or the effect of notifying that the time is controlled to be controlled after executing the revival effect shown in the modified example 029SG-14 may be executed. .. By doing so, when controlling the time saving state according to the number of times the variable display is executed reaches a specific number of times, or when controlling the time saving state according to the derivation display of a part of the deviation. , High expectation reach production Whether it is controlled to a shorter time state by executing development notification production or revival production, or whether the variable display result is notified that it is a big hit, reach production with high expectation such as reach production I Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the game is executed, the game interest can be improved.

Further, as the feature portion 029SG, an embodiment in which both the invention 029SG and the invention 033SG are implemented has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of the invention 029SG and the invention 033SG is implemented. You may try to do so.

Further, the feature unit 029SG exemplifies a mode in which the present invention is applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to a slot machine.
