[Outline of production, etc. in pachinko game machine 1]
Next, an outline of the production and the like in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, many effects and the like are executed, and here, typical effects will be described. First, the variable effect will be described. The variable effect is an effect executed by the first display area 20a or the like according to the winning of the game ball to the start port (first start port 6, second start port 7).

The fluctuation effect starts the fluctuation of the effect symbol 21LCR in synchronization with the start of the fluctuation by the special figure display (special figure 1 display 4a, special figure 2 display 4b), and synchronizes with the fluctuation stop by the special figure display. The effect symbol 21LCR is stopped by a combination of big hit symbols, a combination of small hit symbols, or a combination of lost symbols. In the present embodiment, the variation display by the special figure display and the variation effect by the first display area 20a or the like may be collectively referred to as “variation display”.

When the variable effect is started, the effect symbol 21LCR scrolls from top to bottom. The direction of scroll display of the effect symbol 21LCR is not limited to this, and scroll display may be performed from left to right, scroll display from the back to the front when viewed from the player, and the display method is scroll display. Not limited to.

The variable effect includes a loss variable effect, a big hit variable effect, and a small hit variable effect. The loss variation effect is a stop display after the effect symbol 21LCR that has started the variation effect displays a temporary stop (hereinafter, referred to as "temporary stop") by a combination of the loss symbols (for example, a combination of "381", "244", etc.). It is a production (hereinafter referred to as "stop"). In addition, in the loss variation effect, two of the effect symbols 21LCR that started the variation effect (for example, the left effect symbol 21L and the right effect symbol 21R) are temporarily stopped at the same number symbol and the reach display mode (for example). , "7 ↓ 7", "33 ↓", etc.), and after performing the reach effect, there is an effect of temporarily stopping with a combination of lost symbols (for example, "767", "334", etc.) and then stopping.

The jackpot variation effect is a reach display mode (for example, "7") in which two effect symbols (for example, the left effect symbol 21L and the right effect symbol 21R) temporarily stop at the same number symbol out of the effect symbols 21LCR that started the variation effect. ↓ 7 ”,“ 33 ↓ ”, etc.), and after performing the reach effect, it is an effect that temporarily stops with a combination of jackpot symbols (for example,“ 777 ”,“ 333 ”, etc.) and then stops. In the case of a probability variation jackpot, the combination of the effect symbol 21LCR stops at "777", and in the case of a probability variation jackpot or a normal jackpot, the combination of the effect symbol 21LCR is a combination other than "777" (for example, "000"). , "555" etc.).

Further, in the jackpot variation effect, when the combination of the effect symbols 21LCR is temporarily stopped by a combination other than "777", a promotion effect for producing whether or not it is a probability variation jackpot may be executed. When notifying that it is a probabilistic jackpot by the promotion effect, the combination of the effect symbol 21LCR stops at "777". The promotion effect may be executed even when the combination of the effect symbols 21LCR is temporarily stopped at "777". In addition, the promotion effect may not notify that it is a probabilistic jackpot, but may notify that it is a probabilistic jackpot (shift to a probabilistic state after the jackpot ends) in the jackpot effect described later.

The small hit variation effect is an effect in which the effect symbol 21LCR that has started the variation effect temporarily stops at a combination of small hit symbols (for example, "234", "567", etc.) and then stops.

The reach production includes, for example, a normal reach production and an SP reach production having a higher jackpot expectation (hereinafter, also referred to as “big hit reliability” or “big hit ratio”) than the normal reach production. Therefore, the reach effect is an effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit. When executing the SP reach effect, there are a pattern in which the SP reach effect is executed after executing the normal reach effect and a pattern in which the SP reach effect is executed without executing the normal reach effect.

In the variable effect, an incidental effect for raising (improving) the player's expectation for the jackpot and an incidental effect for raising the expectation for the jackpot in a probabilistic state may be executed. This incidental production is a fluctuating production (notice) that announces (suggests) the possibility of a big hit (big hit expectation, big hit reliability) and the possibility that the reach production will be executed (reach expectation, reach reliability). There are directing and suggestive directing). In addition, for the incidental effect, the judgment information related to the variation display before execution is referred to (hereinafter, referred to as "look-ahead"), and the variation display of the look-ahead target (hereinafter, "target variation", "target variation display", or "target variation display" or " There is a possibility that the variation display of the look-ahead target will be a big hit from the variation display (hereinafter referred to as "pre-variation", "pre-variation display", or "pre-variation effect") before the start of the target variation effect (referred to as "target variation effect"). There is a look-ahead effect (pre-reading suggestion effect) that announces (suggests) the possibility that the reach effect will be executed (reach expectation, reach reliability).

[Game control process of game control board 100]
When the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the gaming control microcomputer 101 is activated. When the game control microcomputer 101 is activated, the game control process is executed. An example of the game control process of the game control board 100 (game control microcomputer 101) will be described with reference to FIG. The game control process of the game control board 100 is composed of a main process and an interrupt process.

(Main processing)
First, the main process (S1000) will be described. The CPU 101c first disables interrupts in the main process. Then, the initial setting is performed. Initial settings include access permission settings to RAM 101b, SIO, PIO, and CTC (interrupt time management controller) settings.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a clear signal is input from the clear switch. If a clear signal is input, the initialization process is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 101c clears the game information and the like (for example, the game state at the time of power interruption (power supply stop), the special figure 1 fluctuation display information, the special figure 1 hold information, etc.) stored in the RAM 101b, and initially. Set the value. Further, an initialization command is output to the effect control board 120 (effect control microcomputer 121) according to the initialization process. When the effect control microcomputer 121 receives the initialization command, it gives an initialization notification. The initialization notification is performed by displaying the initialization notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting the initialization notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting the initialization sound by the speaker 34.

When the clear signal is not input, the CPU 101c determines whether or not the game information or the like stored in the RAM 101b is normal. When it is determined that the game information or the like stored in the RAM 101b is normal, the CPU 101c performs a recovery process for recovering to the game state (game status) at the time of power failure based on the game information or the like stored in the RAM 101b. Run. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game information or the like stored in the RAM 101b is not normal, the initialization process is executed. The CPU 101c outputs a recovery command to the effect control board 120 (effect control microcomputer 121) in response to the recovery process. When the effect control microcomputer 121 receives the recovery command, the effect control state is restored to the effect control state (effect control status) at the time of power failure. The effect control microcomputer 121 notifies that the restoration is in progress by displaying the restoration notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting the restoration notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting the restoration sound by the speaker 34.

When the initialization process or the restoration process is completed, the CPU 101c outputs an effect control command indicating that these have been completed to the effect control board 120. Subsequently, the CPU 101c executes the initial setting of the random number circuit and then permits the interrupt, so that the CPU 101c periodically (for example, every 4 ms) executes the timer interrupt process.

(Interrupt processing)
Next, the interrupt processing executed in the game control processing will be described. When the interrupt processing is started, the CPU 101c executes error processing (S1100). In the error processing, the CPU 101c confirms whether or not an error has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and if an error has occurred, performs error notification processing.

The input processing includes the first starting port sensor 6a, the second starting port sensor 7a, the gate sensor 8a, the first winning opening sensor 9d, the second winning opening sensor 9e, the first large winning opening sensor 10a, and the second winning opening sensor. It is confirmed whether or not the detection signal from each sensor of 11a is received. When it is confirmed that the detection signal from the sensor other than the gate sensor 8a is received, the prize ball is paid out to the payout control board.

Subsequently, the random number update process is executed (S1300). The random number update process updates the random numbers of various game random numbers used for game control by the game control microcomputer 101. Note that the game random numbers include, for example, a jackpot random number, a jackpot type random number, a variation pattern random number, a normal figure random number, a general figure variation pattern random number, and the like.

Subsequently, the special drawing process (S1400) is executed. Special figure processing includes control of special figure 1 fluctuation display and special figure 2 fluctuation display, processing of special figure 1 hold information and special figure 2 hold information, control of jackpot state and small hit state, normal state, probability change state and low. It controls the time saving state. The details of the special drawing process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, the normal drawing process is executed (S1500). In the normal map processing, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 8a is received in the above-mentioned input process, the normal map fluctuation display is controlled by the normal map display 4f, and the normal map hold information is processed (normal map hit disorder). Manages numerical values, displays stored information on hold, etc.). Further, in the normal drawing process, the opening / closing control of the opening / closing piece of the second starting port 7 is performed according to the normal drawing.

Subsequently, the information output process is executed (S1600). In the information output process, game information such as start information and jackpot information is output from the external information output terminal board to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Subsequently, the command output process is executed (S1700). The command output process is a process of outputting the effect control command stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 121b to the effect control board 120, or a process of outputting the payout control command stored in the payout control command storage area to the payout control board. Output processing of various commands such as. After the command output processing is completed, the interrupt processing is terminated.

(Processing for special drawings)
Next, an example of special figure processing executed in interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. When the special drawing process is started, the CPU 101c executes the winning process (S1410). In the above-mentioned input process (S1200), the winning process is the reception of the detection signal from the first starting port sensor 6a (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 1 starting winning prize”) or the detection signal from the second starting port sensor 7a. (Hereinafter referred to as "Special Figure 2 Start Winning") is confirmed, the start winning process to be executed and the reception of the detection signal from the first winning opening sensor 9d and the second winning opening sensor 9e are confirmed. It is composed of a general winning process executed in the case and a large winning process executed when reception of a detection signal from the first large winning opening 10 or the second large winning opening 11 is confirmed.

In the start winning process, when the first start winning is confirmed, the judgment information (big hit random value, big hit type random value, fluctuation pattern random value, etc.) is acquired, and the special figure 1 hold of the RAM 101b is held as the special figure 1 hold information. Of the information storage areas (1st to 4th areas), the information is stored in the highest free area at the present time. Further, when the second start winning is confirmed, the determination information (big hit random value, big hit type random value, fluctuation pattern random value, etc.) is acquired, and the special figure 2 hold information storage area of the RAM 101b is acquired as the special figure 2 hold information. Of (1st to 4th areas), it is stored in the highest free area at the present time. Then, the special figure 1 hold information or the special figure 2 hold information is pre-read (confirm the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display scheduled to be executed from the jackpot random value, the jackpot type random value, the fluctuation pattern random value, etc.) and judge at the start winning prize ( Look-ahead judgment) is performed. Then, based on the information indicating whether the special figure 1 start prize or the special figure 2 start prize, the number of reserved memories, the look-ahead judgment information (information about the jackpot judgment result, information about the fluctuation pattern (look-ahead pattern information)), etc. A start winning command (first start winning command, second starting winning command) is generated as an effect control command and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The first start winning command and the second start winning command stored in the effect control command storage area are output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

In the general winning process, when the reception of the detection signal from the first winning opening sensor 9d is confirmed, the first winning command is generated as the effect control command and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. When the reception of the detection signal from the second winning opening sensor 9e is confirmed, the second winning command is generated as the effect control command and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The first winning command and the second winning command stored in the effect control command storage area are output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

In the grand prize processing, when the reception of the detection signal from the first grand prize opening sensor 10a is confirmed, the first grand prize command is generated as an effect control command and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. When the reception of the detection signal from the second prize opening sensor 11a is confirmed, the second prize control command is generated as the effect control command and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The first prize-winning command and the second prize-winning command stored in the effect control command storage area are output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

Subsequently, the special figure execution data processing is executed (S1420). In the special figure execution data processing, the value of the current special figure execution data is confirmed, and the process shifts to the processing corresponding to the confirmed value of the special figure execution data. When the value of the special figure execution data is 0, the process shifts to the special figure change preprocessing (S1430). When the value of the special figure execution data is 1, the process shifts to the special figure variation processing (S1440). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 2, the process shifts to the special figure fluctuation stop processing (S1450). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 3, the process shifts to the jackpot process (S1460). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 4, the process shifts to the jackpot end processing (S1470). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 5, the process shifts to the small hit process (S1480).

When the value of the special figure execution data is 0, the special figure change preprocessing is executed (S1430). The special figure change pre-processing is a process to be executed before the start of the special figure change display. In the special figure change preprocessing, first, it is determined whether to execute the special figure 1 fluctuation display based on the special figure 1 hold 1 information or to execute the special figure 2 change display based on the special figure 2 hold 2 information. I do.

When it is determined to execute the special figure 1 variable display, the special figure 1 reserved 1 information stored in the special figure 1 reserved information storage area is shifted to the variable display information storage area of the RAM 101b and stored as the special figure 1 variable display information. .. In addition, the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is subtracted by 1. Next, the jackpot judgment and the jackpot type are based on the game state (normal state, probability variation state, low probability time saving state) and special figure 1 fluctuation display information (big hit random value, jackpot type random value, fluctuation pattern random value, etc.). Judgment and the LED to be displayed on the special figure 1 display 4a when the special figure 1 fluctuation display is stopped is displayed as a big hit lighting pattern (hereinafter, also referred to as "big hit stop symbol") or a small hit lighting pattern (hereinafter, "small hit"). A lighting pattern determination (hereinafter, also referred to as "stop symbol") for determining which lighting pattern (hereinafter, also referred to as "stop symbol") of the lost lighting pattern (hereinafter, also referred to as "missing stop symbol") is used. "Stop symbol determination") is performed. Further, based on the jackpot judgment result, the jackpot type judgment result, the fluctuation pattern random value, and the current gaming state (either the normal state, the probability change state, or the low probability time reduction state), the fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the special figure 1 fluctuation display. ) Is determined. When it is determined that the special figure 2 variable display is to be executed, the same processing as when it is determined to execute the special figure 1 variable display is performed (the special figure 1 display 4a is replaced with the special figure 2 display 4b, and the special figure 2 display 4b is replaced. In addition, the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 2 is subtracted by 1.)

Subsequently, a variation start command is generated as an effect control command based on the game state, information indicating whether it is the special figure 1 or the special figure 2, the jackpot determination result, the jackpot type determination result, the variation pattern information, etc., and the effect of the RAM 101b is generated. Stored in the control command storage area. Subsequently, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 1. The fluctuation start command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 1, the special figure variation process is executed (S1440). In the special figure variation processing, first, a process of starting the variation display by the special figure 1 display 4a and the special figure 2 display 4b is performed. Subsequently, a process of measuring the elapsed time of the started fluctuation display is performed based on the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern. If the elapsed time being measured matches the fluctuation time, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 2.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 2, the special figure fluctuation stop processing is executed (S1450). The special figure fluctuation stop process performs a process of stopping and displaying the lighting pattern of the LED to be stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display 4a and the special figure 2 display 4b with the lighting pattern determined by the lighting pattern determination. Further, the special figure fluctuation stop processing generates a fluctuation stop command as an effect control command indicating the stop of the fluctuation display, and stores it in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The fluctuation stop command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above. Then, when the stop display is performed with the jackpot lighting pattern, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 3, and when the stop display is performed with the small hit lighting pattern, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 5, and the loss is lit. When the stop display is performed with a pattern, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0.

In addition, the special figure fluctuation stop processing performs a process of counting the number of fluctuation displays (hereinafter, referred to as “variation count”) executed during each jackpot. This process adds 1 to the number of fluctuations when the loss fluctuation display ends, and clears the number of fluctuations when the jackpot fluctuation display ends. Further, when the number of fluctuations counted in the low probability time saving state reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times), the gaming state is shifted to the normal state.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 3, the jackpot process is executed (S1460). The jackpot process is composed of a jackpot start process and a jackpot medium process.

The jackpot start process first executes the jackpot control contents based on the jackpot type, etc. (type of jackpot, jackpot opening time, maximum number of rounds, opening / closing pattern of jackpots in each round, interval time between rounds). , Ending time, etc.). Subsequently, a jackpot start command is generated as an effect control command indicating the jackpot type, opening time, etc., and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The jackpot start command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above. Then, the elapsed opening time is measured, and when the measured opening elapsed time matches the opening time, the process is shifted to the jackpot middle processing.

The jackpot processing opens and closes the first prize opening 10 and the second prize opening 11 based on the type of the big winning opening, the number of rounds, the opening / closing pattern of the big winning opening of each round, the interval time between each round, and the like. Control. When starting a new round, a round start command is generated as an effect control command indicating the type of the winning opening, the number of rounds to be started, and the like, and is stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The round start command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

When the end condition of each round is satisfied (for example, when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number or the opening end time is reached), a round is used as an effect control command indicating the type of the big winning opening, the number of rounds to be completed, etc. An end command is generated and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The round end command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above. Then, when the final round is completed, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 4.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 4, the jackpot end process is executed (S1470). In the jackpot end process, first, a jackpot end command is generated as an effect control command indicating the ending time and the like, and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The jackpot end command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above. Then, the elapsed ending time is measured. Then, when the measured ending elapsed time matches the ending time, the game state (probability change state, low probability time reduction state) to be shifted after the end of the jackpot is determined. Here, when the jackpot type is a probabilistic jackpot, it is determined to shift the gaming state to the probabilistic changing state, and when the jackpot type is a normal jackpot, it is determined to shift the gaming state to the low probability time saving state. At this time, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 5, the small hit process is executed (S1480). In the small hit processing, the content of the small hit (opening / closing pattern of the large winning opening, etc.) to be executed is determined based on the big hit type (here, whether it is the first small hit or the second small hit), and the small hit is processed. A small hit command is generated as an effect control command indicating the type and the like, and is stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The small hit command stored in the effect control command storage area is output to the effect control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

Further, in the small hit process, the opening / closing control of the first large winning opening 10 is performed according to the determined opening / closing pattern. Then, when the small hit end condition is satisfied (for example, when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number or when the small hit end time is reached), after updating the value of the special figure execution data to 0, for the special figure. End the process.

[Production control processing of the production control board 120]
When the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the effect control microcomputer 121, the display control unit 122, the decoration control unit 123, and the sound control unit 124 are activated. When the effect control microcomputer 121 is activated, the effect control process is executed. An example of the effect control process of the effect control board 120 (effect control microcomputer 121) will be described with reference to FIG. The effect control process of the effect control board 120 is composed of an effect main process, a receive interrupt process, and an effect interrupt process.

(Main processing of production)
First, the production main process (S2000) will be described. The CPU 121c first disables the effect interrupt in the effect main process. Then, the initial setting of the production is performed. For the initial setting of the effect, the access permission setting to the RAM 121b, the setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time management controller), and the like are performed.

Subsequently, the operation of the in-panel movable device 26 is confirmed by driving and controlling the in-panel movable device 26 from the first position to the second position, from the second position to the third position, and from the third position to the first position. Subsequently, the frame-side movable device 33 is driven and controlled from the fourth position to the fifth position, rotation control is performed at the fifth position, and drive control is performed from the fifth position to the fourth position to check the operation of the in-panel movable device 26. Subsequently, the operation of the blower device 35a is confirmed by driving and controlling the blower device 35a, and the operation of the vibration device 36 is confirmed by driving and controlling the vibration device 36. Subsequently, when the initialization command is received, the initialization notification is performed by displaying the initialization notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting the initialization notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting the initialization sound by the speaker 34. Subsequently, when the restoration command is received, the restoration notification image is displayed by the first display area 20a, the restoration notification is turned on by the decorative lamp 32, and the restoration notification is output by the speaker 34 to output the restoration notification. When an effect control command indicating the completion of initialization or restoration is received, the initialization notification and the restoration notification are terminated. Subsequently, the CPU 121c executes the initial setting of the random number circuit and then confirms that the interrupt is enabled, so that the CPU 121c periodically (for example, every 2 ms) executes the effect timer interrupt process.

The reception interrupt process (S2100) is a process that is executed separately from the effect timer interrupt process, and is a process that is executed with priority over the effect interrupt process. During the receive interrupt process, the interrupt is disabled. The reception interrupt process determines whether or not the INT signal output from the game control board 100 is input to the external INT input unit of the effect control microcomputer 121 (ON / OFF). When the INT signal is input, the effect control command output from the game control board 100 is received and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 121b. Then, after storing in the storage area for receiving the effect control command, the interrupt is enabled. The storage area for receiving the effect control command is the first start winning command storage area (special figure 1 hold 1 start prize command storage area to special figure 1 hold 4 start prize command storage area), and the second start prize command storage area (special figure 1 hold 1 start prize command storage area). Special Figure 2 Hold 1 Start Winning Command Storage Area ~ Special Figure 2 Hold 4 Start Winning Command Storage Area), Special Figure 1 Hold Icon Number Storage Area, Special Figure 2 Hold Icon Number Storage Area, Change Start Command Storage Area, Change Stop Command It consists of a storage area, a jackpot medium command storage area (stores jackpot start command, round start command, round end command, jackpot end command), and the like.

(Interrupt processing for production)
Next, the effect interrupt processing executed in the effect control process will be described. When the effect interrupt process is started, the CPU 101c first executes the effect random number update process (S2200). The effect random number update process updates random numbers of various effect random numbers. The random numbers for the effect include, for example, random numbers for the variable effect, random numbers for the effect symbol, random numbers for the advance notice effect, random numbers for the look-ahead effect, and the like.

Subsequently, the effect input process is executed (S2300). The effect input process confirms whether or not the detection signals from the first operation unit detection sensor 31c, the second operation unit detection sensor 31d, and the other operation unit detection sensor 37a are received.

Subsequently, the command analysis process is executed (S2400). The command analysis process analyzes the contents of the effect control command stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 121b in the above-mentioned reception interrupt process (S2100). In the command analysis process, the effect control command stored in the effect control command storage area is read out, and control is executed according to the information included in the effect control command. This control means, for example, that the RAM 121b has a special figure 1 hold storage area (special figure 1 hold 1 storage area (special figure 1 hold 1) to special figure 1 hold 1) in order to use the received effect control command for the effect process or the like. 1 storage area for hold 4 (special figure 1 hold 4)), special figure 2 hold storage area (special figure 2 hold 1 storage area (special figure 2 hold 1) to special figure 2 hold 4 storage area (special figure 2 hold 4) 2 Hold 4)), a process of storing in a storage area for variable effect, a storage area for big hit effect, and various setting processes.

Subsequently, the effect processing is executed based on the content of the effect control command analyzed by the command analysis process (S3000). The details of the effect processing will be described later with reference to FIG. After executing the effect processing, the effect interrupt process ends.

(Processing for production)

Performs various controls such as lighting of various decorative lamps.

When the effect processing is started, the CPU 121c executes the effect execution data process (S3100). In the effect processing data processing, a process of shifting to the effect process corresponding to the type of the effect control command is executed. When the first start winning command or the second starting winning command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 0 and the process shifts to the start winning effect process (S3200). Further, when the variation start command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 1 and the process shifts to the variation effect process (S3300). Further, when the fluctuation stop command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 2 and the process shifts to the variation effect stop process (S3400). Further, when the jackpot start command, the round start command, or the round end command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 3 and the process shifts to the jackpot effect process (S3500). Further, when the jackpot end command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 4 and the process shifts to the jackpot end effect process (S3600). Further, when the small hit command, the small hit medium 1st big prize command, or the small hit medium 2nd big prize command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 5 and the process shifts to the small hit effect process (S3700). .. When the first prize-winning command, the second prize-winning command, the first prize-winning command, or the second prize-winning command is received, the value of the effect processing data is not changed (shifts to the effect process being executed).

When the value of the effect processing data is 0, the start winning effect process is executed (S3200).

The process of displaying the number of special figure 1 hold by the 1 icon to the special 1 hold 4 icon and the process of displaying the number of special figure 2 hold by the special 2 hold 1 icon to the special 2 hold 4 icon are performed.

Further, in the start winning effect processing, the look-ahead judgment information (information about the jackpot judgment result, the look-ahead pattern information) included in the newly received start winning command and the look-ahead judgment information included in the already received start winning command are used for look-ahead. When it is determined whether or not to execute the effect and it is determined that the look-ahead effect is to be executed, a process of determining the effect content (look-ahead effect pattern) of the look-ahead effect (hereinafter referred to as "look-ahead effect determination process") is performed. In the look-ahead effect determination process, the hold storage of the RAM 121b is stored as the look-ahead effect pattern information in the effect control information, such as whether or not each look-ahead effect can be executed and the effect content (look-ahead effect pattern) of the look-ahead effect to be executed in association with each start winning command.

The incidental effect execution time or a part of the incidental effect execution time differs depending on each variation pattern (for example, the variation patterns P120 and P160 in FIG. 8C (a) differ in all the incidental effect execution periods T51 to T64. Alternatively, only T54, T56, and T60 are different).

[Example of chance lamp production]
Next, an example of the chance lamp effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The chance lamp effect is a kind of look-ahead effect, and when the target variation effect that is the target of the chance lamp effect is started, and when the pre-variation effect that is executed before the target variation effect is started. It is executed, and the degree of expectation of a big hit is suggested by the lighting mode of the chance lamp 52. In the chance lamp effect, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of the first lighting mode <second lighting mode <third lighting mode <fourth lighting mode.

The initial mode of the chance lamp 52 is a "turned off" state. When it is decided to execute the chance lamp effect in the chance lamp effect determination process (FIG. 18) in the look-ahead effect determination process (FIG. 13) described later, the effect mode (lighting mode) of the chance lamp 52 is determined.

The first lighting mode is an effect (hereinafter, referred to as “white blinking”) in which “white lighting” and “turning off” of the chance lamp 52 are repeated for a predetermined time (for example, 2s (seconds)). Further, during the execution of the chance lamp effect according to the first lighting mode, the chance lamp effect sound "Chachan, Chachan ..." is output from the speaker 34.

The second lighting mode is an effect (hereinafter, referred to as “blue blinking”) in which the “blue lighting” and “lighting off” of the chance lamp 52 are repeated for a predetermined time (for example, 2 s (seconds)). Further, during the execution of the chance lamp effect according to the second lighting mode, the chance lamp effect sound "Chachan, Chachan ..." is output from the speaker 34.

The third lighting mode is an effect (hereinafter, referred to as “red blinking”) in which the “red lighting” and “extinguishing” of the chance lamp 52 are repeated for a predetermined time (for example, 2 s (seconds)). Further, during the execution of the chance lamp effect according to the third lighting mode, the speaker 34 outputs a chance lamp effect sound different from that in the first and second lighting modes such as "cha-cha-chan, cha-cha-chan ...". Therefore, in the third lighting mode, it is suggested that the player is expected to have a higher jackpot expectation than the first and second lighting modes not only by the lighting mode of the chance lamp 52 but also by the change of the chance lamp effect sound.

The fourth lighting mode is an effect (hereinafter, referred to as "gold blinking") in which the "golden lighting" and "extinguishing" of the chance lamp 52 are repeated for a predetermined time (for example, 2s (seconds)). Further, during the execution of the chance lamp effect according to the fourth lighting mode, the speaker 34 outputs a chance lamp effect sound different from that in the first to third lighting modes, such as "shashashan, shashashan ...". Therefore, in the fourth lighting mode, it is suggested that the player is expected to have a higher jackpot expectation than the third lighting mode not only by the lighting mode of the chance lamp 52 but also by the change of the chance lamp effect sound.

As will be described later, the lighting mode of the chance lamp effect is the case where the lighting mode is executed from the incident variation effect to the target variation effect in the same lighting mode, and the case where the lighting mode is changed and executed from the incident variation effect to the target variation effect. There is.

Further, even if the chance lamp effect is executed in the previous pre-variable effect, it may not be executed (execution is stopped) in the current variable effect. As a case where the execution of the chance lamp effect is stopped in this way, for example, the previous advance variation effect executes the chance lamp effect based on the look-ahead pattern information Y110 (normal reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed). This is the case where the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new hold that was started and won during the execution of the previous pre-variation effect is Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) or more. That is, when the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new hold is the information indicating that the variable effect with a high jackpot expectation is scheduled to be executed than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold which is the target of the chance lamp effect. In some cases, the chance lamp production may be canceled.

[Example of Chance Seg production]
Next, an example of the chance seg effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The chance seg effect is a kind of look-ahead effect, and the variable display by the chance seg display 51 is started from the time when the start winning prize is generated. Then, when the stop time comes during the execution of the target variation effect, which is the target of the chance seg effect, the chance seg display 51 is stopped and displayed by any of the first to fourth stop modes to indicate the jackpot expectation. be. In the chance segment effect, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of the first stop mode <second stop mode <third stop mode <fourth stop mode.

The initial mode of the chance seg display 51 is a "turned off" state. When it is decided to execute the chance seg effect in the chance seg effect determination process (FIG. 19) in the look-ahead effect determination process (FIG. 13) described later, the display mode when the chance seg display 51 is stopped is determined. Further, in the variable effect start processing (FIG. 30) described later, the stop time of the chance segment display 51 is determined.

When it is decided to execute the chance seg effect according to the start winning prize, first, the chance seg display 51 is displayed according to the start mode to notify the player of the start of the chance seg effect (start of variable display). In addition, the chance seg effect start sound of "jaan" is output from the speaker 34 in accordance with the display according to the start mode of the chance seg display 51.

Subsequently, the display mode of the chance segment display 51 is changed in the order of "first variable mode-> second variable mode-> third variable mode-> fourth variable mode-> first variable mode ...". Notifies the player that the chance segment effect is being executed (variable display is in progress). Further, during the variable display of the chance segment display 51, the chance segment effect variable sound of "pip, pip, pip ..." is output from the speaker 34.

Subsequently, when the target variation effect of the chance seg effect is started and the designated stop time comes, the variation display of the chance seg display 51 is displayed by any of the first stop mode to the fourth stop mode. Stop it.

In the first stop mode, the stop display of "CH" in white suggests that it is a chance (opportunity) to become a big hit. In addition, a stop sound is output from the speaker 34 in accordance with the stop display.

In the second stop mode, the stop display of "CH" in red suggests that the expectation of a big hit is higher than that of the first stop mode. In addition, a stop sound is output from the speaker 34 in accordance with the stop display.

In the third stop mode, the stop display of "AA" in red suggests that the expectation of a big hit is higher than that of the second stop mode. In addition, the speaker 34 outputs a stop sound different from that in the first and second stop modes, such as "beep", in accordance with the stop display. Therefore, in the third stop mode, it is suggested that the player is expected to have a higher jackpot expectation than the first and second stop modes not only by the stop mode of the chance segment display 51 but also by the change of the stop sound.

In the fourth stop mode, the stop display of "BC" in red suggests that the expectation of a big hit is higher than that of the third stop mode. Further, in accordance with the stop display, the speaker 34 outputs a stop sound called "jajan", which is different from that in the first to third stop modes. Therefore, in the fourth stop mode, it is suggested that the player is expected to have a higher jackpot expectation than the third stop mode not only by the stop mode of the chance segment display 51 but also by the change of the stop sound.

In this way, the chance seg effect starts the fluctuation of the chance seg display 51 from the time when the start prize is won, and the chance seg display 51 is stopped and displayed according to each stop mode during the execution of the target variation effect that is the target of the chance seg effect. It is an effect to be performed, and is not stopped and displayed during the pre-variable effect. Further, when the chance segment display 51 stops and displays as described later, a variable effect that suggests a jackpot expectation is executed separately. Therefore, when the chance seg effect is executed, the player is suggested to the player the jackpot expectation by the display mode of the chance seg indicator 51, and the jackpot expectation is also suggested by the variable effect.

[Example of production by pachinko game machine 1]
Next, an example of the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12L. There are many production examples by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment other than those shown in FIGS. 12A to 12L, but here, an example of a characteristic production in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. do.

[Production example 1]
First, the production example 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 12A. In the effect example 1, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the production example 1, as a look-ahead effect in the incidental effect, a case where a chance segment effect, a chance zone effect, a button vibration effect, a chance lamp effect, and a hold icon effect in the icon effect are executed is shown. Further, in the production example 1, as the changing effect in the incidental effect, the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the SP1 reach title effect (SP1 title) displayed with the start of the SP1 reach effect are executed. In this effect example 1, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation is set to three.

The first feature of the production in this production example 1 is that the chance seg production is executed from the start winning to the stop time in the target variation production, and the title production is executed when the chance seg production is stopped and displayed. Is. The second feature is that the button vibration effect and the chance lamp effect are executed from the next variation effect of the start winning variation effect to the target variation effect, and the button vibration effect and the chance lamp effect have different production times. be. The third feature is that the chance zone effect is executed not from the next variable effect of the variable effect that won the starting prize, but from the next variable effect. The fourth feature is that the chance zone effect is executed until the SP1 reach effect in the target variation is started.

Here, the chance zone production, the button vibration production, and the SP1 reach title production will be briefly described. First, the chance zone production will be described.

The chance zone effect is a look-ahead effect executed by displaying a chance zone effect image in the first display area 20a and outputting a chance zone effect sound from the speaker 34. The chance zone production consists of a chance zone rushing production, a chance zone rushing production, and a chance zone middle production.

The chance zone rushing effect is an effect that incites whether or not to enter the chance zone, and during the execution of the chance zone rushing effect, an image that indicates whether or not to switch to the background image in the chance zone is displayed. .. Therefore, although the chance zone rushing effect is executed, it may end without developing into the effect during the chance zone. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation for the player to develop the effect during the chance zone by executing the effect of entering the chance zone.

The chance zone rush effect is an effect that notifies the player that the effect will develop into the chance zone effect, and when the chance zone rush effect is executed, it always develops into the chance zone effect.

The chance zone production is a production that can raise the player's expectation for the jackpot of the target fluctuation, and the chance zone production is a background image in the chance zone that notifies the player that the target is in the chance zone. Is displayed.

As will be described later, the chance zone effect may be executed during the pseudo continuous effect, and the chance zone effect executed during the pseudo continuous effect is hereinafter referred to as "pseudo-people chance zone effect" and is pseudo. Chance zone productions other than those chance zone productions are hereinafter referred to as "chance zone productions". Further, in the present embodiment, in the pseudo-people chance zone production, the chance zone entry effect is executed without executing the chance zone entry effect, but in the pseudo-people chance zone effect, the chance zone entry effect is executed. After that, the production during the chance zone may be executed.

And, the jackpot expectation is higher when the pseudo-people chance zone effect is executed than when the chance zone effect is executed.

Next, the button vibration effect will be described. The button vibration effect is a look-ahead effect executed by driving the vibration device 36 to vibrate the first effect operation unit 31a and outputting the vibration sound from the speaker 34. The button vibration effect is performed for 1 s (seconds) from the start when the target variation effect, which is the target of the button vibration effect, is started, and when the pre-variation effect executed before the target variation effect is started. Run. In addition, as will be described later, the production during the chance zone may be executed when the start prize is won. By executing the button vibration effect in this way, it is possible to raise the expectation of the player for the jackpot of the target variation. In addition, when the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new hold is the information indicating that the fluctuation effect having a high jackpot expectation is scheduled to be executed than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold which is the target of the button vibration effect. In, it is restricted (not stopped) to stop the button vibration effect.

Next, the SP1 reach title production will be described. The SP1 reach title effect is a variable effect that displays the SP1 reach title image at the start of the SP1 reach effect. In the SP1 reach title production, the display mode of the SP1 reach title (SP1 title display mode) is displayed by any one of "white title", "red title", "gold title", and "rainbow title". This suggests a jackpot expectation. The expectation for big hits increases in the order of "white title" <"red title" <"gold title" <"rainbow title". As will be described later, as an effect similar to the SP1 reach title effect, there is an SP2 reach title effect that displays the SP2 reach title at the start of the SP2 reach effect.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. 12A, first, the special 1 maintenance 4 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (normal reach 1 loss variation effect) before 4 fluctuations. .. Further, after displaying the chance seg display 51 according to the start mode, the variation display of the chance seg display 51 is started.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 3 fluctuations, the special 1 protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 3 icon. Further, the chance lamp 52 is “blinked white” for 2 seconds from the incidental effect execution time T21, and the first effect operation unit 31a is vibrated for 1 s.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect before 2 fluctuations (loss variation effect), the special 1-ho 3 icon is shifted to the special 1-ho 2 icon, and the hold icon is displayed during the execution of the pre-variation effect before 2 changes. Change from "white" to "blinking white" to display. Further, the chance lamp 52 is “blinked white” for 2 seconds from the incidental effect execution time T21, and the first effect operation unit 31a is vibrated for 1 s. Furthermore, the chance zone rushing effect is executed during the execution of the pre-variation effect before 2 fluctuations.

Further, the chance lamp 52 is “blinking gold” for 2 seconds from the incidental effect execution time T111, and the first effect operation unit 31a is vibrated for 1 s. Further, the pseudo 3 variation effect in the pseudo 3 continuous effect is started from the incidental effect execution time T117 in the target variation effect. Further, from the same period, the pseudo-people chance zone effect is executed until the incidental effect execution time T126 (SP2 reach start time) when the SP2 reach title effect is executed.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T126 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP2 reach title effect is executed by the “gold title”. Further, when the incidental effect execution time T129, which is the execution of the SP2 reach effect, is reached, the SP2 cut-in effect is executed by the “gold cut-in”. In addition, the chance segment display 51, which is displaying fluctuations at the same time, is stopped and displayed as "AA" in red. Further, after the chance segment display 51 is stopped and displayed as "BC" in red, the variable icon is changed from "gold" to "rainbow" and displayed.

[Production example 5]
Next, an effect example 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 12E. In the effect example 5, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the three fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 5, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the production example 5, as the variable production in the incidental production, a case where the variable icon production in the icon production, the pseudo-people chance zone production, the pseudo two continuous production, and the SP1 reach title production (SP1 title) are executed is shown. There is. In the production example 5, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 2 fluctuations of the target fluctuation is 2, and the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 2 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done. In the figures shown in FIGS. 12E to 12L, the look-ahead target hold is displayed in a thick frame.

The first feature of the effect in the effect example 5 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the display mode of the hold icon immediately before the hold, which is the read-ahead target, is changed. The second feature is that the pseudo-people chance zone effect is executed from the start of the pseudo 2-variation effect of the target variation to the start of the SP1 reach effect.

First, the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 start port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 3 fluctuations. Here, as a result of referring to the look-ahead pattern information included in the start-up prize command corresponding to this start-up prize, this is based on the fact that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information. The special 1 protection 3 icon at the time is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. Shift display to the special 1 protection 2 icon (pre-reading target hold).

Then, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 fluctuations, the special 1 protection 1 icon, which is the hold immediately before the special 1 protection 2 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "white flashing". Change to "" to display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 1 icon because the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one variation, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending). In the pre-variation effect before one variation, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", but the loss variation effect that even the reach effect is not executed is executed. Here, the player is disappointed to find that the hold icon production in which the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" in the pre-variation production before 2 fluctuations was a disappointing production.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed as "white", and the variation icon is changed from "white" to "green" before the incidental effect execution time T54. Let me. Further, the pseudo 2 variation effect in the pseudo 2 continuous effect is started from the incidental effect execution time T54 in the target variation effect. Further, from the same period, the pseudo-people chance zone effect is executed until the incidental effect execution time T58 (SP1 reach start time) when the SP1 reach title effect is executed.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T58 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 reach title effect is executed by the “white title”.

In this production example 5, an example in which the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effects are other than SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 5 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold prior to the look-ahead target hold may be Y100 or Y102.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 5, the player is once discouraged by the variation effect one change before the target variation effect, and then the expectation for the player's jackpot is raised from the disappointment in the target variation effect. It is possible to make it.

[Production example 6]
Next, an effect example 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 12F. In the effect example 6, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 6, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the production example 6, as the variable production in the incidental production, a case where the variable icon production in the icon production, the pseudo-people chance zone production, the pseudo three continuous production, and the SP1 reach title production (SP1 title) are executed is shown. There is. In addition, in the production example 6, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 4 fluctuations of the target fluctuation is 3, and the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The first feature of the effect in the effect example 6 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the display mode of the hold icon two before the hold, which is the look-ahead target, is changed. The second feature is that the pseudo-people chance zone effect is executed from the start of the pseudo-3 variation effect of the target variation to the start of the SP1 reach effect.

First, the special 1 protection 4 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 4 fluctuations. Here, as a result of referring to the look-ahead pattern information included in the start-up prize command corresponding to this start-up prize, this is based on the fact that Y121 (SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information. The special 1 protection 4 icon at the time is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 3 fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. The special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 3 icon (pre-reading target pending).

Next, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 3 fluctuations, the special 1 protection 1 icon, which is the hold 2 before the special 1 protection 3 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "blue".

Shift display to the special 1 protection 2 icon (pre-reading target hold). In the pre-variation effect before the two fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed in "blue", but the loss variation effect is executed in which even the reach effect is not executed. Here, the player is disappointed to find that the hold icon production in which the special 1 protection 1 icon was changed from "white" to "blue" in the pre-variation production before 3 fluctuations was a disappointing production.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one variation, the variation icon is displayed in "white", and the special 1-ho 2 icon is shifted to the special 1-ho 1 icon (pre-reading target pending).

Then, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed as "white", and the variation icon is changed from "white" to "green" before the incidental effect execution time T77. Display it. Further, the pseudo 3 variation effect in the pseudo 3 continuous effect is started from the incidental effect execution time T77 in the target variation effect. Further, from the same period, the effect during the pseudo-people chance zone is executed until the incidental effect execution time T81 (SP1 reach start time) when the SP1 reach title effect is executed.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T81 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 reach title effect is executed by the "red title", and then the variation icon is changed from "green" to "gold" and displayed.

In this production example 6, an example in which the SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effect is other than SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 6 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold prior to the look-ahead target hold may be Y100 or Y102.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 6, the player is once discouraged by the variation effect 2 before the change of the target variation effect, and then the expectation of the player's jackpot is raised from the disappointment in the target variation effect. It is possible to make it.

[Production example 7]
Next, an effect example 7 will be described with reference to FIG. 12G. In the effect example 7, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the two fluctuations of the target variation to the variation effect after one variation of the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 7, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the production example 7, as the variable effect in the incidental effect, the variable icon effect in the icon effect, the pseudo-people chance zone effect, the first special effect executed from the pseudo 2 variable effect in the pseudo 2 continuous effect, and the SP1 reach title. It shows the case where the production (SP1 title) is executed. In the production example 7, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 2 fluctuations of the target fluctuation is 2, and the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 2 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The first feature of the effect in the effect example 7 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the display mode of the hold icon one after the hold, which is the look-ahead target, is changed. The second feature is that the chance zone effect is executed from the start of the first special effect of the target variation to the start of the SP1 reach effect.

First, the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 2 fluctuations. Further, at this time, based on the fact that Y120 is stored as the look-ahead pattern information in the special 1 hold 2 start winning command storage area, this special 1 hold 2 icon is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 1 change, the change icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending), and the special The 1st protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1st protection 2 icon.

Then, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one change, the special 1 protection 2 icon, which is one hold after the special 1 protection 1 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "white flashing". Change to "" to display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 2 icon because the special 1 protection 2 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white", and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. In addition, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed before the incidental effect execution time T54 is reached. In addition, the first special effect is started from the incidental effect execution time T54 in the target variation effect. Further, from the same period, the effect during the pseudo-people chance zone is executed until the incidental effect execution time T58 (SP1 reach start time) when the SP1 reach title effect is executed.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T58 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 reach title effect is executed by the "red title", and then the variation icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed.

Subsequently, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white" by starting the variation effect (loss variation effect) after one variation of the target variation effect. In the variation effect after one variation of the target variation effect, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", but the loss variation effect in which even the reach effect is not executed is executed. In this way, in the production example 7, the player's expectation for the jackpot is directed to the fluctuation production one after the target fluctuation production, and the fluctuation production has a higher expectation for the jackpot than the fluctuation production one after the target fluctuation production. To execute.

In this production example 7, an example in which the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effects are other than SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 6 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold before the look-ahead target hold may be any, and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold after the look-ahead target hold may be Y100 or Y102.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 7, it is possible to surprise the player whose expectation for the jackpot is suitable for the variation effect one after the target variation effect in the target variation effect.

[Production example 8]

In the effect example 8, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the two fluctuations of the target variation to the variation effect after the two fluctuations of the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 8, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the production example 8, as the variable effect in the incidental effect, the variable icon effect in the icon effect, the pseudo-people chance zone effect, the first special effect executed from the pseudo 2 variable effect in the pseudo 2 continuous effect, and the SP1 reach title. It shows the case where the production (SP1 title) is executed. In the production example 8, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 2 fluctuations of the target fluctuation is 3, and the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The first feature of the effect in the effect example 8 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the display mode of the hold icon two times after the hold, which is the look-ahead target, is changed. The second feature is that the chance zone effect is executed from the start of the first special effect of the target variation to the start of the SP1 reach effect.

First, the special 1 protection 4 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 2 fluctuations. Further, at this time, based on the fact that Y121 is stored as the look-ahead pattern information in the special 1 hold 2 start winning command storage area, this special 1 hold 2 icon is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 1 change, the change icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending), and the special The 1st protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1st protection 2 icon, and the special 1st protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1st protection 3 icon.

Then, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one change, the special 1 protection 3 icon, which is one hold after the special 1 protection 1 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "white flashing". Change to "" to display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 3 icon because the special 1 protection 3 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed.

Then, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is special. Shift display to 1 maintenance 1 icon. In addition, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "green" and displayed before the incidental effect execution time T77 is reached. In addition, the first special effect is started from the incidental effect execution time T77 in the target variation effect. Further, from the same period, the effect during the pseudo-people chance zone is executed until the incidental effect execution time T81 (SP1 reach start time) when the SP1 reach title effect is executed.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T81 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 reach title effect is executed by the "red title", and then the variation icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed.

Subsequently, by starting the variation effect (loss variation effect) after one variation of the target variation effect, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white" by starting the variation effect (loss variation effect) after the two variation of the target variation effect. In the variation effect after the two variation of the target variation effect, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", but the loss variation effect is executed in which even the reach effect is not executed. In this way, in the production example 8, the player's expectation for the jackpot is directed to the fluctuation production two after the target fluctuation production, and the fluctuation production has a higher expectation for the jackpot than the fluctuation production two after the target fluctuation production. To execute.

In this production example 8, an example in which the SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effect is other than SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 8 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold before the look-ahead target hold may be any, and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold after the look-ahead target hold may be Y100 or Y102.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 8, it is possible to surprise the player whose expectation for the jackpot is suitable for the variation effect two times after the target variation effect in the target variation effect.

[Production example 9]
Next, an effect example 9 will be described with reference to FIG. 12I. In the effect example 9, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 9, a case where the chance lamp effect and the hold icon effect in the icon effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the effect example 9, the case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the SP1 reach title effect (SP1 title) are executed as the effect during the change in the incidental effect is shown. In the production example 9, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 4 fluctuations of the target fluctuation is 2, and the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 2 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The first feature of the effect in the effect example 9 is the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target and the hold immediately before the hold that is the look-ahead target when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect. The look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold immediately before the hold that is the look-ahead target is Y110 (normal reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target. When the information is scheduled to execute P120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the display mode of the hold icon immediately before the hold, which is the read-ahead target, is changed. The second feature is that the chance lamp effect that was executed in the pre-variation effect before 3 fluctuations is canceled in the pre-variation effect before 2 changes.

First, the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 start port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 4 fluctuations. Here, as a result of referring to the look-ahead pattern information included in the start-up prize command corresponding to this start-up prize, Y110 (scheduled to execute the normal reach 1 loss fluctuation effect) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information. The special 1 protection 3 icon in is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 3 fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. Shift display to the special 1 protection 2 icon (pre-reading target hold). In addition, the chance lamp 52 is “blinking white” for 2 seconds from the incidental effect execution time T21.

Subsequently, the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 start port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 3 fluctuations. Here, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start winning command corresponding to this start winning is referred to. Then, as a result of reference, the look-ahead pattern information of the current look-ahead target hold is Y110, and the look-ahead pattern information included in the start winning command corresponding to the new start winning is Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed). Based on the existence, the read-ahead target hold is changed from the special 1 protection 2 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. Shift display to the special 1 protection 2 icon (pre-reading target hold). In addition, the chance lamp production will be canceled due to the change of the look-ahead target hold from the special 1 protection 2 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon.

Then, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 fluctuations, the special 1 protection 1 icon, which is the hold immediately before the special 1 protection 2 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "white flashing". Change to "" to display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 1 icon because the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (normal reach 1 loss variation effect) before 1 change, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending). Let me. In the pre-variation effect before this one change, the change icon is displayed as "blinking white", and after the normal reach 1 effect is executed, the icon is lost. Therefore, the player is disappointed that the variable icon is "blinking white" and it is unavoidable to end with a normal reach effect.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the variation icon is changed from "white" to "white blinking" and "white blinking" to "blue" before the incidental effect execution time T60 for executing the SP1 cut-in effect in the target variation effect is reached.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T60 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 cut-in effect is executed by the “white cut-in”, and then the variation icon is changed from “blue” to “green” and displayed.

In this production example 9, an example in which the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effects are other than SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 9 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold before the look-ahead target hold is a variable effect that executes a reach effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold, and the variable effect result is lost. Any pre-reading pattern information indicating that the variable effect is scheduled to be executed may be used. However, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold before this are, for example, Y160 (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation effect) and Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect). The jackpot expectation is the same variable effect, but when the variable effect result is different, it is sufficient that the look-ahead pattern information scheduled to execute the variable effect that becomes the big hit corresponds to the look-ahead target hold.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 9, the player is once discouraged by the variation effect one change before the target variation effect, and then the expectation for the player's jackpot is raised from the disappointment in the target variation effect. It is possible to make it.

[Production example 10]
Next, the production example 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 12J. In the effect example 10, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 10, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the effect example 10, a case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the SP1 reach title effect (SP1 title) are executed as the effect during the change in the incidental effect is shown. In the production example 10, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 4 fluctuations of the target variation is 3, and the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 10 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target and the hold that is two before the hold that is the look-ahead target is referred to. The look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold two before the hold that is the look-ahead target is Y110 (normal reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target is P121 (P121 (). When the SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect) is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon two before the hold, which is the read-ahead target, is changed.

First, the special 1 protection 4 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 4 fluctuations. Here, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start winning command corresponding to the start winning prize and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon are referred to. Then, as a result of reference, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start-up prize command corresponding to the start-up prize is Y121 (SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the special 1 protection 2 icon is Based on Y110 (normal reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), the special 1 protection 4 icon is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 3 fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. The special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 3 icon (pre-reading target pending).

Next, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 3 fluctuations, the special 1 protection 1 icon, which is the hold 2 before the special 1 protection 3 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "blue". Change to and display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 1 icon because the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (normal reach 1 loss variation effect) before 2 fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed in "blue", and the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon (pre-reading target pending). , The special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. In the pre-variation effect before the two fluctuations, the variation icon is displayed in "blue", and after the normal reach 1 effect is executed, the icon is lost. Therefore, although the player had some expectations because the variable icon is "blue", the player is disappointed that there is no choice but to end with a normal reach production because the variable icon is "blue".

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one variation, the variation icon is displayed in "white", and the special 1-ho 2 icon is shifted to the special 1-ho 1 icon (pre-reading target pending).

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the variation icon is changed from "white" to "white blinking" and "white blinking" to "blue" before the incidental effect execution time T83 for executing the SP1 cut-in effect in the target variation effect is reached.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T83 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 cut-in effect is executed by the "blue cut-in", and then the variation icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed.

In this production example 10, an example in which the SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effect is other than SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 10 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold before the look-ahead target hold is a variable effect that executes a reach effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold, and the variable effect result is lost. Any pre-reading pattern information indicating that the variable effect is scheduled to be executed may be used. However, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold before this are, for example, Y160 (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation effect) and Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect). Although the SP1 reach 1 variation effect is the same as above, when the variation effect result is different, it is sufficient that the look-ahead pattern information scheduled to execute the variation effect that is a big hit corresponds to the look-ahead target hold.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 10, the player is once discouraged by the variation effect 2 before the change of the target variation effect, and then the expectation of the player's jackpot is raised from the disappointment in the target variation effect. It is possible to make it.

[Production example 11]
Next, the production example 11 will be described with reference to FIG. 12K. In the production example 11, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the two fluctuations of the target variation to the variation effect after one variation of the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 11, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the effect example 11, a case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the SP1 cut-in effect (SP1 cut-in) are executed as the effect during the change in the incidental effect is shown. In the production example 11, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the two fluctuations of the target fluctuation is two, and the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 2 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 11 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target and the hold that is one hold after the hold that is the look-ahead target is referred to. The look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold immediately after the hold that is the look-ahead target is Y110 (normal reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target is P120 (P120). When the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect) is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon one after the hold, which is the read-ahead target, is changed.

First, the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 2 fluctuations. Here, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start winning command corresponding to the start winning prize and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 2 icon are referred to. Then, as a result of reference, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start-up prize command corresponding to the start-up prize is Y110 (normal reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the special 1 protection 2 icon is Y120. Based on (SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), the special 1 protection 2 icon is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 1 change, the change icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending), and the special The 1st protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1st protection 2 icon.

Then, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one change, the special 1 protection 2 icon, which is one hold after the special 1 protection 1 icon that is reserved for pre-reading, is changed from "white" to "white flashing". Change to "" to display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 2 icon because the special 1 protection 2 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the variation icon is changed from "white" to "white blinking" and "white blinking" to "blue" before the incidental effect execution time T60 for executing the SP1 cut-in effect in the target variation effect is reached.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T60 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 cut-in effect is executed by the “green cut-in”, and then the variation icon is changed from “blue” to “red” and displayed.

Subsequently, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white" by starting the variation effect (loss variation effect) after one variation of the target variation effect. In the variation effect after one variation of the target variation effect, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", and after the normal reach 1 effect is executed, the icon is lost. As described above, in the production example 11, the player's expectation for the jackpot is directed to the fluctuation production one after the target fluctuation production, and the jackpot expectation is higher than the fluctuation production one after the target fluctuation production in the target fluctuation production. Perform a highly variable effect.

In this production example 11, an example in which the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effects are other than SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 11 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold after the look-ahead target hold is a variable effect that executes a reach effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold, and the variable effect result is lost. Any pre-reading pattern information indicating that the variable effect is scheduled to be executed may be used. However, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold after this are, for example, Y160 (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation effect) and Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect). Although the SP1 reach 1 variation effect is the same as above, when the variation effect result is different, it is sufficient that the look-ahead pattern information scheduled to execute the variation effect that is a big hit corresponds to the look-ahead target hold.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 11, it is possible to surprise the player whose expectation for the jackpot is suitable for the variation effect one after the target variation effect in the target variation effect.
[Production example 12]
Next, the effect example 12 will be described with reference to FIG. 12L. In the effect example 12, the variation effect and the incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the two fluctuations of the target variation to the variation effect after the two fluctuations of the target variation effect are shown. Further, in the effect example 12, a case where the hold icon effect in the icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect is shown. Further, in the effect example 12, the case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the SP1 cut-in effect (SP1 cut-in) are executed as the effect during the change in the incidental effect is shown. In the production example 12, the number of special figure 1 hold storages at the start of the fluctuation production before the 2 fluctuations of the target fluctuation is 3, and the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon are displayed in "white". It is assumed that it has been done.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 12 is that when the hold icon effect is executed as the look-ahead effect, the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target and the hold that is two times after the hold that is the look-ahead target is referred to. The look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold two times after the hold that is the look-ahead target is Y111 (normal reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the hold that is the look-ahead target is P121 (P121). When the SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect) is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon two times after the hold, which is the read-ahead target, is changed.

First, the special 1 protection 4 icon is displayed in "white" according to the start winning prize to the special 1 starting port 6 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the 2 fluctuations. Here, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start winning command corresponding to the start winning prize and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon are referred to. Then, as a result of reference, the look-ahead pattern information included in the start-up prize command corresponding to the start-up prize is Y111 (normal reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), and the look-ahead pattern information associated with the special 1 protection 2 icon is Y121. Based on the fact that (SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed), the special 1 protection 2 icon is set as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 1 change, the change icon is displayed as "white", the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending), and the special The 1st protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1st protection 2 icon, and the special 1st protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1st protection 3 icon.

Next, during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before one change, the special 1 protection 1 icon (hold for look-ahead target), which is the hold for pre-reading, is changed to "white". To "blink white" to display. Here, the player pays attention to the variation effect related to the special 1 protection 3 icon because the special 1 protection 3 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the variation icon is changed from "white" to "white blinking" and "white blinking" to "blue" before the incidental effect execution time T83 for executing the SP1 cut-in effect in the target variation effect is reached.

Subsequently, when the incidental effect execution time T83 in the target variation effect is reached, the SP1 cut-in effect is executed by the "red cut-in", and then the variation icon is changed from "blue" to "gold" and displayed.

Subsequently, by starting the variation effect (loss variation effect) after one variation of the target variation effect, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white" by the start of the variation effect (normal reach 2 loss variation effect) after the two variation of the target variation effect. In the variation effect after the two variation of the target variation effect, the variation icon is displayed as "blinking white", and after the normal reach 2 effect is executed, the icon is lost. In this way, in the production example 12, the player's expectation for the jackpot is directed to the fluctuation production two after the target variation production, and the jackpot expectation is higher than the fluctuation production two after the target fluctuation production in the target variation production. Perform a highly variable effect.

In this production example 12, an example in which the SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation effect is executed in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effect is other than SP1 reach 2 loss variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP1 reach 2 jackpot variation effect, SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect, SP2 reach 1 jackpot variation effect, SP2 Even in the case of the reach 2 loss variation effect and the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect), the same effect as in the effect example 12 can be executed. In such a case, the execution time of the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may be different.

Further, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold after the look-ahead target hold is a variable effect that executes a reach effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold, and the variable effect result is lost. Any pre-reading pattern information indicating that the variable effect is scheduled to be executed may be used. However, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the look-ahead target hold and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold after this are, for example, Y160 (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation effect) and Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect). Although the SP1 reach 1 variation effect is the same as above, when the variation effect result is different, it is sufficient that the look-ahead pattern information scheduled to execute the variation effect that is a big hit corresponds to the look-ahead target hold.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 12, it is possible to surprise the player whose expectation for the jackpot is suitable for the variation effect two times after the target variation effect in the target variation effect.

As described above, by executing the effects shown in the effect examples 1 to 12, the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is improved.

[Look-ahead effect determination process]
Next, the look-ahead effect determination process executed in the start winning effect process (S3200) in the above-mentioned effect process (see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. The look-ahead effect determination process is a process for determining whether or not the look-ahead effect, which is an incidental effect, can be executed, the effect content of the look-ahead effect (look-ahead effect pattern), and the like.

When the CPU 121C starts the look-ahead effect determination process, it first executes the hold icon effect determination process (S3210). The hold icon effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the reduced working hours state (S3230). If it is determined that the gaming state is the reduced working hours state, the process proceeds to S3280. On the other hand, when it is determined that the gaming state is not the time saving state (normal state), the process proceeds to S3240.

Subsequently, the chance lamp effect determination process is executed (S3240). The chance lamp effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, the chance segment effect determination process is executed (S3250). The chance segment effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 24.

Subsequently, the chance zone effect determination process is executed (S3260). The chance zone effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, the button vibration effect determination process is executed (S3270). The button vibration effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 28.

Subsequently, other pre-reading effect determination processing is executed (S3280). Other look-ahead effect determination processing includes hold icon effect, chance lamp effect, chance segment effect, chance zone effect, whether or not to execute other look-ahead effects other than button vibration effect, other types of look-ahead effect to be executed, and other Look-ahead effect The content of each look-ahead effect is determined.

Subsequently, the look-ahead effect data storage process is executed (S3290). In this look-ahead effect data storage process, each of the hold icon effect determination process, chance lamp effect determination process, chance segment effect determination process, chance zone effect determination process, button vibration effect determination process, and other pre-reading effect determination processes are determined. The effect data for executing the look-ahead effect is stored in the RAM 121b as the look-ahead effect pattern information. When this process is completed, the look-ahead effect determination process is completed.

[Hold icon production decision processing]
Next, an example of the hold icon effect determination process executed in S3210 of the pre-reading effect determination process (see FIG. 13) described above will be described with reference to FIG. In this hold icon effect determination process, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed, and when it is decided to execute the hold icon effect, the effect content (hold icon effect pattern) of the hold icon effect is determined. The hold icon effect includes a hold icon first effect, a hold icon second effect, and a hold icon third effect.

When the CPU 121C starts the hold icon effect determination process, it first determines whether or not any of the hold icon first effect to the hold icon third effect is being executed (S3211). If it is determined that any of the hold icon effects is being executed, the hold icon effect determination process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the hold icon effects is not being executed, the process proceeds to S3212.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not any of the hold icon effects of the hold icon 1st effect to the hold icon 3rd effect is scheduled to be executed (S3212). If it is determined that any of the hold icon effects is scheduled to be executed, the hold icon effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no schedule for executing any of the hold icon effects, the process proceeds to S3213.

If it is determined in S3212 that there is no schedule for executing any of the hold icon effects, the hold icon first effect determination process is executed (S3213). The process of determining the first effect of the hold icon will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the execution of the hold icon first effect is determined (S3214). When it is determined that the execution of the hold icon first effect is determined, the process proceeds to S3223. On the other hand, if it is determined that the execution of the hold icon first effect has not been decided, the process proceeds to S3214.

When it is determined in S3214 that the execution of the hold icon first effect is not determined, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the time saving state (S3215). If it is determined that the gaming state is the reduced working hours state, the process proceeds to S3223. On the other hand, when it is determined that the gaming state is not the time saving state (normal state), the process proceeds to S3216.

When it is determined in S3215 that the gaming state is not the time saving state, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved storages in FIG. 1 is 3 or more (S3216). Special Figure 1 When it is determined that the number of reserved storages is 3 or more, the process proceeds to S3217. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is less than 3, the process proceeds to S3223.

When it is determined in S3216 that the number of special figure 1 hold storages is 3 or more, Y110 (information indicating that the normal reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed) is added to the look-ahead pattern information associated with each special figure 1 hold. It is determined whether or not there is something containing ~ Y171 (information indicating that the SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed). When it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information associated with each special figure 1 hold includes Y110 to Y171, the process proceeds to S3218. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process proceeds to S3223.

When it is determined in S3217 that some of the look-ahead pattern information associated with each special figure 1 hold includes Y110 to Y171, these special figure 1 hold (for example, when the number of special figure 1 hold storage = 4 is specified) It is determined whether or not a plurality of Y110 to Y171 are included in FIG. 1 hold 1 to special figure 1 hold 4). If it is determined that a plurality of Y110 to Y171 are included in these special figure 1 hold, the process proceeds to S3222. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process proceeds to S3219.

When it is determined in S3218 that a plurality of Y110 to Y171 are not included in these special figure 1 hold, the hold icon second effect determination process is executed (S3219). The process of determining the second effect of the hold icon will be described later with reference to FIG.

When it is determined in S3218 that a plurality of Y110 to Y171 are included in these special figure 1 hold, the hold icon third effect determination process is executed (S3222). The process of determining the third effect of the hold icon will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, the effect data for executing each hold icon effect determined by the hold icon 1st effect determination process, the hold icon 2nd effect determination process, or the hold icon 3rd effect determination process is set as the hold icon effect data. After (S3223), the hold icon effect determination process is terminated.

[Table for determining look-ahead effect]
Here, the look-ahead used in the hold icon 1st effect determination process to the hold icon 3rd effect determination process, the chance lamp effect determination process, the chance segment effect determination process, the chance zone effect determination process, and the button vibration effect determination process, which will be described later. An example of the effect determination table will be described with reference to FIG.

In the look-ahead effect determination table shown in FIG. 15, each look-ahead effect (hold icon 1st effect to hold icon 3rd effect, chance lamp effect, chance segment effect, chance zone effect, and button vibration effect) that can be executed as the look-ahead effect ), The determination ratio (allocation of judgment values) of each look-ahead effect when the loss variation effect (Y100 to 111, 120 to 131, 200, 201, 210 to 230) is scheduled to be executed, and the jackpot variation effect ( Y115 to 171 and 250 to 280) are associated with the determination ratio of each look-ahead effect when the execution is scheduled.

The first feature of this look-ahead effect determination table is that the hold icon first effect and the button vibration effect, which will be described later, are defined to have a higher execution rate than other look-ahead effects when the jackpot fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed. It is a point that has been done. The second feature of the look-ahead effect determination table is the execution ratio of the hold icon 1st effect and the button vibration effect, which will be described later, when the jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed and when the loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed. The difference is that it is defined to be larger than other look-ahead effects.

[Hold icon 1st effect determination process]
Next, an example of the hold icon first effect determination process executed in S3213 of the hold icon effect determination process described above will be described with reference to FIG. In this hold icon first effect determination process, when it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon first effect and it is decided to execute the hold icon first effect, the effect content of the hold icon first effect (hold icon first effect pattern). To determine.

When the CPU 121C starts the hold icon first effect determination process, it first confirms new look-ahead determination information (S32131).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the hold icon first effect can be executed (S32132). In this process, whether or not the hold icon first effect can be executed when the loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed based on the determination ratio specified in the hold icon first effect in the pre-reading effect determination table (see FIG. 15) described above. , Hold icon when the jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed Determines whether or not the first effect can be executed.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the hold icon first effect (S32133). If it is determined that the hold icon first effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S32134. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon first effect is not executed, the hold icon first effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S32133 that the first effect of the hold icon is to be executed, the first effect pattern of the hold icon is determined (S32134). In this process, the hold icon first effect determination pattern is determined using the hold icon first effect determination table shown in FIGS. 17A to 17D.

Here, an example of the hold icon first effect determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 17A to 17D. As shown in FIGS. 17A to 17D, the hold icon first effect determination table is the hold icon first effect determination table 1 (FIG. 17A) and the hold icon first effect determination table 2 (FIG. 17A) used in the normal state. FIG. 17B), the hold icon first effect determination table 3 (FIG. 17C) used in the time saving state, and the hold icon first effect determination table 4 (FIG. 17D).

The display mode of the hold icon in the normal state is "white", which is the hold icon in the normal mode, and "white flashing", "blue", "green", "red", and "gold", which are the hold icons in the special mode. , There are 7 types of "rainbow". Then, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of "white" <"white flashing" <"blue" <"green" <"red" <"gold" <"rainbow".

In the normal state, basically, when the variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon is "green" or more. However, as an exception, the display mode of the hold icon may be "green" even when the normal reach 1 jackpot variation effect or the normal reach 2 jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed.

Further, there are four types of display modes of the hold icon in the time saving state: "white", which is a hold icon in a normal mode, and "blue", "red", and "rainbow", which are hold icons in a special mode. Then, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of "white" <"blue" <"red" <"rainbow".

In the time saving state, when the SP3 reach variation effect is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon is "red" or higher.

Then, the hold icon is normally displayed when the hold icon is displayed in the normal display mode from the time when the start prize is won to hold 1 (special figure 1 hold 1, special figure 2 hold 1) and when the start prize is won. It is displayed in the mode, and when the hold icon is changed to the special display mode and displayed up to Hold 1 (Special Figure 1 Hold 1, Special Figure 2 Hold 1), and when the start prize is won, it is displayed in the special display mode. There are cases and cases.

FIG. 17A shows a case where the new special figure 1 hold in the normal state is the special figure 1 hold 3 (hold 3) or the special figure 1 hold 4 (hold 4), and when the hold icon first effect pattern is determined. The hold icon used is the table 1 for determining the first effect.

In the hold icon first effect determination table 1, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171), the hold icon first effect patterns PA01 to PA17 and the hold icon first effect patterns PA01 to PA17 are the hold icons. 1 The determination ratio of the effect pattern (allocation of the determination value) is associated with it. In addition, for each hold icon 1st effect pattern, the effect contents of the hold icon 1st effect to be executed until the special 1 hold 4 icon (hold 4) to the special 1 hold 1 icon (hold 1) are displayed are defined. ing. If the new special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 3 (the third hold), the effect contents specified in "hold 3" to "hold 1" in the effect contents are executed, and a new effect is executed. When the special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 4 (the fourth hold), the effect contents specified in "hold 4" to "hold 1" in the effect contents are executed.

The first feature of the hold icon 1st effect determination table 1 is that when the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 3 (special figure 1 hold 4), the special figure 1 In Hold 3 (Special Figure 1 Hold 4), the ratio of displaying the hold icon in the normal mode "white" and changing the hold icon to the special mode in Special Figure 1 Hold 2 is higher in Special Figure 1 Hold. This is a point that is specified to be higher than the ratio of changing the hold icon to a special mode and displaying it from 3 (or special figure 1 hold 4). The second feature is that the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 3 (or the special figure 1 hold 4), and the display mode when the special figure 1 hold 1 is the same color. When the hold icon is displayed in the special mode from the special figure 1 hold 3 (or the special figure 1 hold 4), when the hold icon is displayed in the special mode from the special figure 1 hold 2 It is a point that the jackpot expectation is higher than that.

FIG. 17B shows when the hold icon first effect pattern is determined when the new special figure 1 hold in the normal state is the special figure 1 hold 1 (hold 1) or the special figure 1 hold 2 (hold 2). It is a table 2 for determining the first effect of the hold icon used.

In the hold icon 1st effect determination table 2, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171), the hold icon 1st effect pattern PA21 to PA31 and the hold icon 1st effect pattern PA21 to PA31 have the hold icon first. 1 The determination ratio of the effect pattern (allocation of the determination value) is associated with it. In addition, for each hold icon 1st effect pattern, the effect contents of the hold icon 1st effect to be executed until the special 1 hold 2 icon (hold 2) to the special 1 hold 1 icon (hold 1) are displayed are defined. ing. If the new special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 1 (the first hold), the effect content specified in "hold 1" in the effect content is executed, and the new special figure 1 hold is executed. In the case of the special figure 1 hold 2 (hold 2), the effect contents specified in "hold 2" and "hold 1" in the effect contents are executed.

The first feature of the hold icon 1st effect determination table 2 is that when the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 2, the special figure 1 hold 2 sets the hold icon. The ratio of displaying in the normal mode "white" and changing the hold icon to the special mode in the special figure 1 hold 1 is the ratio of changing the hold icon from the special figure 1 hold 2 to the special mode and displaying it. It is a point that is specified to be higher than. The second feature is when the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 2 and the display mode when the special figure 1 hold 1 is the same color special mode. It is stipulated that the jackpot expectation is higher when the hold icon is displayed in a special mode from FIG. 1 hold 2 than when the hold icon is displayed in a special mode from special figure 1 hold 1. be.

FIG. 17C determines the hold icon first effect pattern when the new special figure 2 hold information in the time saving state is the special figure 2 hold 3 information (hold 1) or the special figure 2 hold 4 information (hold 2). It is a table 3 for determining the first effect of the hold icon used at the time of.

In the hold icon 1st effect determination table 3, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y200 to Y280), the hold icon 1st effect pattern PA41 to PA49 and the hold icon 1st effect pattern PA41 to PA49 hold icons 1st. 1 The determination ratio of the effect pattern (allocation of the determination value) is associated with it. In addition, for each hold icon 1st effect pattern, the effect contents of the hold icon 1st effect to be executed until the special 2 hold 4 icon (hold 4) to the special 2 hold 1 icon (hold 1) are displayed are defined. ing. If the new special figure 2 hold information is the special figure 2 hold 3 information (the third hold), the effect contents specified in "hold 3" to "hold 1" in the effect contents are executed. When the new special figure 2 hold information is the special figure 2 hold 4 information (hold 4th), the effect contents specified in "hold 4" to "hold 1" in the effect contents are executed. Become.

The first feature of the hold icon 1st effect determination table 3 is that when the special figure 2 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 2 hold 3 (special figure 2 hold 4), the special figure 2 In Hold 3 (Special Figure 2 Hold 4), the ratio of displaying the hold icon in the normal mode "white" and changing the hold icon to the special mode in Special Figure 2 Hold 2 is higher in Special Figure 2 Hold. 3 (Special Figure 2 Hold 4) is specified so that the hold icon is changed to a special mode and displayed at a higher rate. The second feature is that the special figure 2 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 2 hold 3 (special figure 2 hold 4), and the display mode when the special figure 2 hold 1 is the same color. In the case of a special mode, when the hold icon is displayed in the special mode from the special figure 2 hold 3 (or special figure 2 hold 4), it is better than when the hold icon is displayed in the special mode from the special figure 2 hold 2. Is also a point that is stipulated so that the degree of expectation for big hits is high.

FIG. 17D shows when the hold icon first effect pattern is determined when the new special figure 2 hold in the time saving state is the special figure 2 hold 1 (hold 1) or the special figure 2 hold 2 (hold 2). The hold icon used is the table 4 for determining the first effect.

In the hold icon first effect determination table 4, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y200 to Y280), the hold icon first effect pattern PA51 to PA59 and the hold icon first effect pattern PA51 to PA59 are held. 1 The determination ratio of the effect pattern (allocation of the determination value) is associated with it. In addition, for each hold icon 1st effect pattern, the effect contents of the hold icon 1st effect to be executed until the special 2 hold 2 icon (hold 2) to the special 2 hold 1 icon (hold 1) are displayed are defined. ing. If the new special figure 2 hold is the special figure 2 hold 1 (the first hold), the effect content specified in "hold 1" in the effect content is executed, and the new special figure 2 hold is executed. In the case of the special figure 2 hold 2 (hold 2), the effect contents specified in "hold 2" and "hold 1" in the effect contents are executed.

The first feature of the hold icon 1st effect determination table 4 is that when the special figure 2 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 2, the special figure 2 hold 2 sets the hold icon. The ratio of displaying in the normal mode "white" and changing the hold icon to the special mode in the special figure 2 hold 1 is the ratio of changing the hold icon from the special figure 2 hold 2 to the special mode and displaying it. It is a higher point than. The second feature is when the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 2 hold 2 and the display mode when the special figure 2 hold 1 is the same color special mode. It is stipulated that the jackpot expectation is higher when the hold icon is displayed in a special mode from FIG. 2 hold 2 than when the hold icon is displayed in a special mode from special figure 2 hold 1. be.

When the hold icon first effect determination pattern is determined by the process of S32134, the hold icon first effect determination process ends. Then, the hold icon first effect pattern determined by the hold icon first effect determination process is set as the hold icon effect data in the process of S3223 described above.

When it is determined that the hold icon first effect is executed by the hold icon first effect determination process and the hold icon first effect pattern is determined, for example, the above-mentioned effect example 1 (see FIG. 12A) to effect example 4 (FIG. 12A). The hold icon effect shown in (see 12D) will be executed.

As described above, the hold icon first effect pattern is determined by the hold icon first effect determination process, and the hold icon first effect based on the determined hold icon first effect pattern is executed, whereby the pachinko gaming machine The effect of 1 is improved.

[Hold icon second production decision processing]
Next, an example of the hold icon second effect determination process executed in S3219 of the hold icon effect determination process described above will be described with reference to FIG. In this hold icon second effect determination process, when it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon second effect and it is decided to execute the hold icon second effect, the effect content of the hold icon second effect (hold icon second effect pattern). To determine.

When the CPU 121C starts the hold icon second effect determination process, it first confirms the look-ahead pattern information, and determines the special figure 1 hold corresponding to the look-ahead pattern information Y110 to 171 as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon) (S32191). ..

Subsequently, the look-ahead pattern information associated with each special figure 1 hold (special figure 1 hold 1 to special figure 1 hold 4) is confirmed, and the look-ahead pattern information Y100 and the look-ahead pattern information Y100 and the special figure 1 hold before the look-ahead target hold are confirmed. It is determined whether or not 102 is stored (S32192). When it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information Y100 or 102 is stored in the special figure 1 hold prior to the look-ahead target hold, the process proceeds to S32193. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case (the look-ahead pattern information Y100 or 102 is stored in the special figure 1 hold after the look-ahead target hold), the process proceeds to S32196.

When it is determined in S32192 that the look-ahead pattern information Y100 or 102 is stored in the special figure 1 hold prior to the look-ahead target hold, it is determined whether or not the number of special figure 1 hold storages is three (S32193). .. If it is determined that the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 3, the process proceeds to S32194. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is not 3 (4), the process proceeds to S32195.

The point that the processes of S32191 and S32192 are executed is a feature of the hold icon second effect determination process.

When it is determined in S32193 that the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 3, 0 is set in the hold icon second effect determination table designation data HR2 (hereinafter, referred to as “HR2”) (S32194).

When it is determined in S32193 that the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is not 3 (4), 1 is set in HR2 (S32195).

In S32192, the look-ahead pattern information Y100 or 102 is not stored in the special figure 1 hold before the look-ahead target hold (the look-ahead pattern information Y100 or 102 is stored in the special figure 1 hold after the look-ahead target hold). When it is determined, it is determined whether or not the number of special figure reserved storages is three (S32196). If it is determined that the number of special figure reservations is 3, the process proceeds to S32197. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of special figure reservations is not 3 (4), the process proceeds to S32198.

When it is determined in S32196 that the number of special figure reservations is 3, HR2 is set to 2 (S32197).

If it is determined in S32196 that the number of special figure reservations is not 3 (4), 3 is set in HR2 (S32198).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the second effect of the hold icon can be executed (S32199). In this process, based on the determination ratio specified in the hold icon second effect in the pre-reading effect determination table (see FIG. 15) described above, whether or not the hold icon second effect can be executed when the loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed. , Hold icon when the jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed Determines whether or not the second effect can be executed.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the second effect of the hold icon (S32200). If it is determined that the second effect of the hold icon is to be executed, the process proceeds to S32200. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second effect of the hold icon is not executed, the process of determining the second effect of the hold icon is terminated.

When it is determined in S32200 that the second effect of the hold icon is to be executed, the second effect pattern of the hold icon is determined (S32201). In this process, the hold icon second effect determination table is determined using the hold icon second effect determination table shown in FIGS. 19A to 19D.

Here, an example of the table for determining the second effect of the hold icon will be described with reference to FIGS. 19A to 19D. As shown in FIGS. 19A to 19D, the hold icon second effect determination table includes the hold icon second effect determination table 1 (FIG. 19A), the hold icon second effect determination table 2 (FIG. 19B), and the hold icon first. 2 The effect determination table 3 (FIG. 19C) and the hold icon second effect determination table 4 (FIG. 19D).

FIG. 19A is a hold icon second effect determination table 1 used when determining the hold icon second effect determination pattern when 0 is set in HR2.

In the hold icon second effect determination table 1, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y110 to Y171), the hold icon second effect patterns PA101 and 102 and the hold icon second effect pattern PA101 and 102 are held icons. 2 The determination ratio (allocation of judgment values) of the effect pattern is associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 2nd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 2nd effect (special 1 protection 2 icon) to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 2 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect 1 before 1 change. (Ho 2) and the special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified. In addition, "-" described in the effect content does not mean that the hold icon is not displayed, but indicates that the hold icon second effect pattern (effect content) is not specified. The same applies to the hold icon second effect determination table 2 to the hold icon second effect determination table 4.

In FIG. 19A, when the hold icon second effect determination table 1 is used together with the hold icon second effect determination table 1 as a supplement, the hold icon second effect determination pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by two. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon second effect pattern determined by using the hold icon second effect determination table 1 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 3 due to the start winning is Y110-171. When the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 prior to this is Y100 or 102, the special figure 1 hold 3 is set as the look-ahead target hold, and when the next variation effect is started, the special figure 1 is set. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 2 which is the look-ahead target hold displayed shifted from the hold 3. The second feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 2 in this way, the display mode of the hold icon is "blinking white". Even if it is displayed in "blue" or "blue", it is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

FIG. 19B is a hold icon second effect determination table 2 used when determining the hold icon second effect determination pattern when 1 is set in HR2.

In the hold icon second effect determination table 2, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y110 to Y171), the hold icon second effect pattern PA111-114 and the hold icon second effect pattern PA111-114 are held icons. 2 The determination ratio (allocation of judgment values) of the effect pattern is associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 2nd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 2nd effect to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 3 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect before 1 change (special 1 protection 3 icons). (Ho 3) to Special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified.

In FIG. 19B, when the hold icon second effect determination table 2 is used together with the hold icon second effect determination table 2 as a supplement, the hold icon second effect determination pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by 3 from the target variation effect. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon second effect pattern determined by using the hold icon second effect determination table 2 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 4 due to the start winning is Y110-171. If the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 to the special figure 1 hold 3 prior to this is Y100 or 102, the special figure 1 hold 4 is set as the look-ahead target hold, and the next variation effect is performed. By the start, the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 or the special figure 1 hold 2 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 3 which is the look-ahead target hold displayed shifted from the special figure 1 hold 4. It is a point. The second feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 or the special figure hold 2 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 3, the display mode of the hold icon is displayed. Is displayed in "blinking white" or "blue", but is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

FIG. 19C is a hold icon second effect determination table 3 used when determining the hold icon second effect determination pattern when 2 is set in HR2.

In the hold icon second effect determination table 3, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y110 to Y171), the hold icon second effect patterns PA121 and 122 and the hold icon second effect pattern PA121 and 122 have the hold icon first. 2 The determination ratio (allocation of judgment values) of the effect pattern is associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 2nd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 2nd effect (special 1 protection 2 icon) to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 2 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect 1 before 1 change. (Ho 2) and the special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified.

In FIG. 19C, when the hold icon second effect determination table 1 is used together with the hold icon second effect determination table 3 as a supplement, the hold icon second effect determination pattern is determined by 2 variations from the target variation effect. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon second effect pattern determined by using the hold icon second effect determination table 3 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 3 due to the start winning is Y100 or 102. When the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 prior to this is Y110-171, the special figure 1 hold 2 is set as the look-ahead target hold, and the special figure 1 hold is started by the start of the next variation effect. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1 which is the look-ahead target hold displayed shifted from 2. The second feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 2 in this way, the display mode of the hold icon is "blinking white". Even if it is displayed in "blue" or "blue", it is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

FIG. 19D is a hold icon second effect determination table 4 used when determining the hold icon second effect determination pattern when 3 is set in HR2.

In the hold icon second effect determination table 4, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y110 to Y171), the hold icon second effect pattern PA131 to 134 and the hold icon second effect pattern PA131 to 134 of the hold icon second effect pattern PA131 to 134 are listed. 2 The determination ratio (allocation of judgment values) of the effect pattern is associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 2nd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 2nd effect to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 3 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect before 1 change (special 1 protection 3 icons). (Ho 3) to Special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified.

In FIG. 19D, when the hold icon second effect determination table 4 is used together with the hold icon second effect determination table 4 as a supplement, the hold icon second effect determination pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by 3 from the target variation effect. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon second effect pattern determined by using the hold icon second effect determination table 4 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 4 due to the start winning is Y100 or 102. When the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 prior to this is Y110-171, the special figure 1 hold 2 is set as the look-ahead target hold, and the special figure 1 hold is started by the start of the next variation effect. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 or the special figure 1 hold 3 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1 which is the look-ahead target hold displayed shifted from 2. The second feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 or the special figure hold 3 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1, the display mode of the hold icon is displayed. Is displayed in "blinking white" or "blue", but is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

When the hold icon second effect determination pattern is determined by the process of S32201, the hold icon second effect determination process ends. Then, the hold icon second effect pattern determined by the hold icon second effect determination process is set as the hold icon effect data in the process of S3223 described above.

When it is determined that the hold icon second effect is executed by the hold icon second effect determination process and the hold icon second effect pattern is determined, for example, the above-mentioned effect example 5 (see FIG. 12E) to effect example 8 (FIG. 12E). The hold icon effect shown in (see 12H) will be executed.

As described above, the hold icon second effect pattern is determined by the hold icon second effect determination process, and the hold icon second effect based on the determined hold icon second effect pattern is executed, whereby the pachinko gaming machine The effect of 1 is improved.

[Hold icon 3rd production decision process]
Next, an example of the hold icon third effect determination process executed in S3222 of the hold icon effect determination process described above will be described with reference to FIG. In this hold icon third effect determination process, when it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon third effect and it is decided to execute the hold icon third effect, the effect content of the hold icon third effect (hold icon third effect pattern). To determine.

When the CPU 121C starts the hold icon third effect determination process, first, the look-ahead pattern information associated with each special figure 1 hold (special figure 1 hold 1 to special figure 1 hold 4) is confirmed, and the look-ahead pattern information Y120 to It is determined whether or not a plurality of 171 are stored (S32221). When it is determined that a plurality of look-ahead pattern information Y120 to 171 are stored, the process proceeds to S32222. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case (one look-ahead pattern information Y120 to 171 is stored), the process proceeds to S32223.

When it is determined in S32221 that a plurality of pre-reading pattern information Y120 to 171 are stored, it is determined whether or not there is a plurality of pre-reading pattern information indicating that the variable effect that is a big hit is scheduled to be executed (S32222). When it is determined that there is a plurality of look-ahead pattern information indicating that the variable effect that is a big hit is scheduled to be executed, the hold icon third effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case (there is one or 0 look-ahead pattern information indicating that the variable effect that is a big hit is scheduled to be executed), the process proceeds to S32223.

When it is determined in S32222 that there is not a plurality of look-ahead pattern information indicating that the variable effect that becomes a big hit is scheduled to be executed, the special figure 1 hold having the higher jackpot expectation is determined as the look-ahead target hold (target hold icon) ( S32223). In this process, for example, Y160 (SP1 reach 1 jackpot variation effect) and Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect) have the same jackpot expectation but different look-ahead pattern information. If there are a plurality of them, the look-ahead pattern information scheduled to execute the variable effect that becomes a big hit is determined to be the look-ahead target hold.

When it is determined in S32221 that a plurality of look-ahead pattern information Y120 to 171 are not stored (one is stored), the special figure 1 hold in which any of the look-ahead pattern information Y120 to 171 is stored is determined to be the look-ahead target hold. (S32224).

Subsequently, the special figure 1 hold stored before the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold has a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information stored in the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold. It is determined whether or not it is the look-ahead pattern information for which the effect is scheduled to be executed (S32225). The special figure 1 hold stored before the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold executes a fluctuation effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information stored in the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold. If it is determined that the pre-reading pattern information is planned, the process proceeds to S32226. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case (after the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold), the process proceeds to S32229.

The point that the processes of S32221 to S32225 are executed is a feature of the hold icon third effect determination process.

In S32225, the special figure 1 hold stored before the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold has a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information stored in the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold. When it is determined that the read-ahead pattern information is scheduled to be executed, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is three (S32226). If it is determined that the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 3, the process proceeds to S32227. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is not 3 (4), the process proceeds to S32228.

When it is determined in S32226 that the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 3, 0 is set in the hold icon third effect determination table designation data HR3 (hereinafter, referred to as “HR3”) (S32227).

When it is determined in S32226 that the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is not 3 (4), 1 is set in HR3 (S32227).

In S32225, the special figure 1 hold stored before the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold has a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information stored in the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold. When it is determined that the information is not the look-ahead pattern information scheduled to be executed (after the special figure 1 hold which is the look-ahead target hold), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 hold storage number is 3 (S32229). ). If it is determined that the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 3, the process proceeds to S32230. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of reserved storages in Special Figure 1 is not 3 (4), the process proceeds to S32231.

When it is determined in S32229 that the number of special figure reservations is 3, HR3 is set to 2 (S322230).

If it is determined in S32229 that the number of special figure reservations is not 3 (4), 3 is set in HR3 (S32231).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the hold icon third effect can be executed (S322232). In this process, based on the determination ratio specified in the hold icon third effect in the above-mentioned look-ahead effect determination table (see FIG. 15), whether or not the hold icon third effect can be executed when the loss variation effect is executed, and a big hit. Hold icon when executing a variable effect Determines whether or not to execute the third effect.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the hold icon third effect (S32233). If it is determined that the hold icon third effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S32234. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon third effect is not executed, the hold icon third effect determination process ends.

When it is determined in S32233 that the third effect of the hold icon is to be executed, the third effect pattern of the hold icon is determined (S32234). In this process, the hold icon third effect determination pattern is determined using the hold icon third effect determination table shown in FIGS. 21A to 21D.

Here, an example of the hold icon third effect determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 21A to 21D. As shown in FIGS. 21A to 21D, the hold icon third effect determination table includes the hold icon third effect determination table 1 (FIG. 21A), the hold icon third effect determination table 2 (FIG. 21B), and the hold icon third. 3 The effect determination table 3 (FIG. 21C) and the hold icon third effect determination table 4 (FIG. 21D) are included.

FIG. 21A is a hold icon third effect determination table 1 used when determining the hold icon third effect pattern when 0 is set in HR3.

In the hold icon third effect determination table 1, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y120 to Y171), the hold icon third effect patterns PA201 and 202 and the hold icon third effect pattern PA201 and 202 are held icons. The determination ratios (allocation of judgment values) of the three effect patterns are associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 3rd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 3rd effect (special 1 protection 2 icon) to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 2 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect 1 before 1 change. (Ho 2) and the special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified. In addition, "-" described in the effect content does not mean that the hold icon is not displayed, but indicates that the hold icon third effect pattern (effect content) is not specified. The same applies to the hold icon 3rd effect determination table 2 to the hold icon 3rd effect determination table 4.

In FIG. 21A, when the hold icon third effect determination table 1 is used together with the hold icon third effect determination table 1 as a supplement, the hold icon third effect pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by two. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon 3rd effect pattern determined by using the hold icon 3rd effect determination table 1 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 3 by the start winning is Y120 to 171. In the case where the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 prior to this is the look-ahead pattern information for which a reach effect with a lower jackpot expectation than the special figure 1 hold 3 is scheduled to be executed (for example, special figure 1 hold 3). (When FIG. 1 hold 3 = Y130 and special figure 1 hold 2 = Y110), special figure 1 hold 3 is set as a look-ahead target hold, and when the next variation effect is started, the look-ahead displayed shifted from special figure 1 hold 3 is displayed. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 2 which is the target hold. The second feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 2 in this way, the display mode of the hold icon is "blinking white". Even if it is displayed in "blue" or "blue", it is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

FIG. 21B is a hold icon third effect determination table 2 used when determining the hold icon third effect pattern when 1 is set in HR3.

In the hold icon third effect determination table 2, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y120 to Y171), the hold icon third effect pattern PA211 to 214 and the hold icon third effect pattern PA211-214 each hold icon th. The determination ratios (allocation of judgment values) of the three effect patterns are associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 3rd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 3rd effect to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 3 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect before 1 change (special 1 protection 3 icons). (Ho 3) to Special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified.

In FIG. 21B, when the hold icon third effect determination table 2 is used together with the hold icon third effect determination table 2 as a supplement, the hold icon third effect pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by 3 from the target variation effect. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon 3rd effect pattern determined by using the hold icon 3rd effect determination table 2 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 4 due to the start winning is Y120 to 171. The look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 prior to this is the look-ahead pattern information for which a reach effect with a lower jackpot expectation than the special figure 1 hold 4 is scheduled to be executed, and the special figure 1 When the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold 3 is the look-ahead pattern information for which a variation effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 4 is scheduled to be executed (for example, the special figure 1 hold 4 = Y130). (When special figure 1 hold 3 = Y100 special figure 1 hold 2 = Y110), special figure 1 hold 4 is set as a look-ahead target hold, and shift display is performed from special figure 1 hold 4 by the start of the next variation effect. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 1 or the special figure 1 hold 2 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 3 which is the look-ahead target hold. The second feature is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 4 due to the start winning is Y120 to 171 and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 3 ahead of this is Y120 to 171. In the case where the look-ahead pattern information is scheduled to execute a reach effect with a lower jackpot expectation than the special figure 1 hold 4, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 is the look-ahead corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 4. When the look-ahead pattern information is scheduled to execute a variation effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the pattern information (for example, special figure 1 hold 4 = Y130, special figure 1 hold 3 = Y110, and special figure 1 hold 2 = Y100). In the case of), the special figure 1 hold 4 is set as the look-ahead target hold, and when the next variation effect is started, the special figure 1 is not the look-ahead target hold 3 which is shifted from the special figure 1 hold 4 and is displayed. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of Hold 1 or Special Figure 1 Hold 2 is displayed in a special display mode. The third feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 3, the display mode of the hold icon is "blinking white". Even if it is displayed in "blue" or "blue", it is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

FIG. 21C is a hold icon third effect determination table 3 used when determining the hold icon third effect pattern when 2 is set in HR3.

In the hold icon third effect determination table 3, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y120 to Y171), the hold icon second effect pattern PA221, 222 and the hold icon third effect pattern PA221, 222 of each hold icon th. The determination ratios (allocation of judgment values) of the three effect patterns are associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 3rd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 3rd effect (special 1 protection 2 icon) to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 2 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect 1 before 1 change. (Ho 2) and the special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified.

In FIG. 21C, when the hold icon third effect determination table 1 is used together with the hold icon third effect determination table 3 as a supplement, the hold icon third effect pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by two. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon third effect pattern determined by using the hold icon third effect determination table 3 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 is Y120 to 171 and starts. When the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 3 due to winning is the look-ahead pattern information for which a reach effect with a lower jackpot expectation is scheduled to be executed than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 (for example). (When special figure 1 hold 2 = Y130 and special figure 1 hold 3 = Y110), special figure 1 hold 2 is set as a look-ahead target hold, and shift display is performed from special figure 1 hold 2 by the start of the next variation effect. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 after this is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1 which is the look-ahead target hold. The second feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1, the display mode of the hold icon is "blinking white". Even if it is displayed in "blue" or "blue", it is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

FIG. 21D is a hold icon third effect determination table 4 used when determining the hold icon third effect pattern when 3 is set in HR3.

In the hold icon third effect determination table 4, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y120 to Y171), the hold icon third effect pattern PA231 to 234 and the hold icon third effect pattern PA231 to 234 have each hold icon th. The determination ratios (allocation of judgment values) of the three effect patterns are associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 3rd effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 3rd effect to be executed in the pre-variation effect before 3 changes of the target variation effect to the pre-variation effect before 1 change (special 1 protection 3 icons). (Ho 3) to Special 1 Ho 1 icon (Ho 1) display mode) are specified.

In FIG. 21D, when the hold icon third effect determination table 4 is used together with the hold icon third effect determination table 4 as a supplement, the hold icon third effect pattern is determined, and the target variation effect is changed by 3 from the target variation effect. The image of the previous special figure 1 hold memory is described.

The first feature of the hold icon third effect pattern determined by using the hold icon third effect determination table 4 is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 is Y120 to 171. The look-ahead pattern information corresponding to FIG. 1 hold 3 is the look-ahead pattern information for which a reach effect with a lower jackpot expectation is scheduled to be executed than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to special figure 1 hold 2, and a new special figure due to a start prize. When the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to 1 hold 4 is the look-ahead pattern information for which a variation effect having a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to special figure 1 hold 3 is scheduled to be executed (for example, special figure 1 hold 2 = (When Y130 and special figure 1 hold 3 = Y110 and special figure 1 hold 4 = Y100), special figure 1 hold 2 is set as a look-ahead target hold, and shift from special figure 1 hold 2 by the start of the next variation effect. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 or the special figure hold 3 after this is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1 which is the displayed look-ahead target hold. The second feature is that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 2 is Y120 to 171 and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the new special figure 1 hold 4 due to the start winning is the special figure 1 hold 2. The look-ahead pattern information that is scheduled to execute a reach effect with a lower jackpot expectation than the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to, and the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 3 is the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special figure 1 hold 4. When the pre-reading pattern information is scheduled to execute a variation effect having a lower jackpot expectation (for example, special figure 1 hold 2 = Y130, special figure 1 hold 3 = Y100, and special figure 1 hold 4 = Y110). In the case), the special figure 1 hold 2 is set as the look-ahead target hold, and when the next variation effect is started, the special figure 1 hold 2 that is shifted from the special figure 1 hold 2 is not the special figure 1 hold 1 but is later than this. The point is that the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 or the special figure 1 hold 3 is displayed in the special display mode. The third feature is that when the display mode of the hold icon of the special figure 1 hold 2 or the special figure 1 hold 3 is displayed in the special display mode instead of the special figure 1 hold 1, the hold icon is displayed. Even if the mode is displayed in "blinking white" or "blue", it is not displayed in colors higher than "green" (display is restricted). This is because, as described above, when the display mode of the hold icon is displayed in "green", basically, a variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed. It is stipulated in this way so as not to lower it.

When the hold icon third effect determination pattern is determined by the process of S32234, the hold icon third effect determination process ends. Then, the hold icon third effect pattern determined by the hold icon third effect determination process is set as the hold icon effect data in the process of S3223 described above.

When it is determined that the hold icon third effect is executed by the hold icon third effect determination process and the hold icon third effect pattern is determined, for example, the above-mentioned effect examples 9 (see FIG. 12I) to effect example 12 (FIG. 12I). The hold icon effect shown in (see 12L) will be executed.

As described above, the hold icon 3rd effect pattern is determined by the hold icon 3rd effect determination process, and the hold icon 3rd effect based on the determined hold icon 3rd effect pattern is executed, whereby the pachinko gaming machine The effect of 1 is improved.

[Chance lamp production decision processing]
Next, an example of the chance lamp effect determination process executed in S3240 of the pre-reading effect determination process (see FIG. 13) described above will be described with reference to FIG. 22. In this chance lamp effect determination process, it is determined whether or not the chance lamp effect can be executed, and when it is decided to execute the chance lamp effect, the effect content (chance lamp effect pattern) of the chance lamp effect is determined. In addition, it is determined whether or not to cancel the chance lamp effect that is being executed or is scheduled to be executed.

When the CPU 121C starts the chance lamp effect determination process, it first determines whether or not the hold icon second effect or the hold icon third effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed (S3241).

When it is determined in S3241 that the hold icon second effect or the hold icon third effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed, the chance lamp effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon second effect or the hold icon third effect is not being executed and there is no schedule for execution, the process proceeds to S3242.

If it is determined in S3241 that the hold icon 2nd effect or the hold icon 3rd effect is not being executed and there is no execution schedule, it is determined whether or not the chance lamp effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed. (S3242). If it is determined that the chance lamp effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed, the process proceeds to S3243. On the other hand, if it is determined that the chance lamp effect is not being executed and there is no plan to execute it, the process proceeds to S3246.

When it is determined in S3242 that the chance lamp effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed, it is determined whether or not the chance lamp effect pattern being executed or scheduled to be executed is PB01 or PB21 (S3243). In this process, by referring to the chance lamp effect data in the look-ahead effect pattern information stored in the RAM 121b, it is determined whether or not the chance lamp effect pattern being executed or scheduled to be executed is PB01 or PB21. If it is determined that the chance lamp effect pattern being executed or scheduled to be executed is PB01 or PB21, the process proceeds to S3244. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the chance lamp effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined that the chance lamp effect pattern being executed or scheduled to be executed in S3243 is PB01 or PB21, whether or not the newly stored look-ahead pattern information is Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) or more. (S3244). If it is determined that the newly stored look-ahead pattern information is Y120 or more (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed), the process proceeds to S3245. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process proceeds to S3246.

When it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information newly stored in S3244 is Y120 (scheduled to execute SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect) or more, the chance lamp effect data is reset (erased) (S3245). In this process, the chance lamp effect data is reset (erased) with respect to the corresponding chance lamp effect data in the look-ahead effect pattern information stored in the RAM 121b. Note that this process prevents the chance lamp effect from being executed from the next variable effect. Therefore, the chance lamp effect shown in the above-mentioned effect example 9 (FIG. 12I) is executed.

The point that the processes of S3241 to S3245 are executed is a feature of this chance lamp effect determination process.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the chance lamp effect can be executed (S3246).

In this first chance lamp effect determination table, for each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171), the chance lamp effect patterns PB01 to PB12 and the hold icon third effect patterns in the chance lamp effect patterns PB01 to PA12 are determined. The ratio (allocation of judgment value) is associated. Further, for each chance lamp effect pattern, the effect content of the chance lamp effect to be executed in the pre-variation effect before the three fluctuations of the target variation effect to the target variation effect is defined. If the new special figure 1 hold is special figure 1 hold 3 (third hold), the effect contents specified in "2 before change" to "target change" in the effect contents are executed, and a new effect is executed. When the special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 4 (the fourth hold), the effect contents specified in "3 before change" to "target change" in the effect contents are executed.

In the case of FIG. 1 hold 2 (second hold), the effect contents specified in "1 change before" and "target change" in the effect contents are executed.

When the chance lamp effect pattern is determined by the process of S3248, the chance lamp effect determination process ends. Then, the chance lamp effect pattern determined by the chance lamp effect determination process is set as the chance lamp effect data in the process of S3223 described above.

When it is determined that the chance lamp effect is executed by this chance lamp effect determination process and the chance lamp effect pattern is determined, for example, it is shown in the above-mentioned effect example 1 (see FIG. 12A) to effect example 4 (see FIG. 12D).

In this chance seg effect determination process, it is determined whether or not the chance seg effect can be executed, and when it is decided to execute the chance seg effect, the effect content (chance seg effect pattern) of the chance seg effect is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the chance segment effect determination process, it first determines whether or not the new look-ahead pattern information is Y120 (scheduled to execute the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect) or more (S3251). If it is determined that the new look-ahead pattern information is Y120 or more (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed), the process proceeds to S3252. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the chance segment effect determination process is terminated.

If it is determined in S3251 that the new look-ahead pattern information is Y120 (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect) or more, chance segment effect, hold icon 2nd effect, or hold icon 3rd effect is being executed, or , It is determined whether or not there is an execution schedule (S3252). When it is determined that the chance seg effect, the second effect of the hold icon, or the third effect of the hold icon is being executed or is scheduled to be executed, the chance seg effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process proceeds to S3253.

The point that the processes of S3251 and S3252 are executed is a feature of this chance zeg effect determination process.

When it is determined in S3252 that the chance seg effect, the second effect of the hold icon, or the third effect of the hold icon is not being executed and is not scheduled to be executed, it is determined whether or not the chance seg effect can be executed (S3253).

When it is determined in S3261 that the chance zone effect, the hold icon second effect, or the hold icon third effect is not being executed and there is no schedule for execution, it is determined whether or not the chance zone effect can be executed (S3262). In this process, based on the determination ratio defined for the chance zone effect in the above-mentioned look-ahead effect determination table (see FIG. 15), whether or not the chance zone effect is to be executed when the loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed, and the jackpot variation effect Determines whether or not to execute the chance zone effect when is scheduled to be executed.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the chance zone effect (S3263). If it is determined that the chance zone effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S3264. On the other hand, if it is determined that the chance zone effect is not executed, the chance zone effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S3264 that the chance zone effect is to be executed, the chance zone effect pattern is determined (S3264). In this process, the chance zone effect pattern is determined using the chance zone effect determination tables shown in FIGS. 27A and 27B.

Value allocation) is associated. Further, for each chance zone effect pattern, the effect content of the chance zone effect to be executed in the pre-variation effect before the three changes of the target variation effect to the target variation effect is defined. If the new special figure 1 hold is special figure 1 hold 3 (third hold), the effect contents specified in "2 before change" to "target change" in the effect contents are executed, and a new effect is executed. When the special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 4 (the fourth hold), the effect contents specified in "3 before change" to "target change" in the effect contents are executed.

In the case of FIG. 1 hold 2 (fourth hold), the effect contents specified in "1 change before" and "target change" in the effect contents are executed.

As can be seen by referring to the table for determining the first chance zone effect and the table for determining the second chance zone effect, when the look-ahead pattern information is less than Y120 (Y100 to Y116), the chance zone entry in the chance zone effect is fueled. The effect is executed, but the chance zone entry effect and the effect during the chance zone are not executed. That is, when the look-ahead pattern information is less than Y120 (Y100 to Y116), a so-called ghost effect may be executed.

When the cut-in effect pattern is determined in S3307, it is subsequently determined whether or not the chance segment effect is being executed (S3308). If it is determined that the chance segment effect is being executed, the process proceeds to S3309. On the other hand, if it is determined that the chance segment effect is not being executed, the process proceeds to S3310.

When it is determined in S3308 that the chance seg effect is being executed, the stop time of the chance seg display 51 is determined according to the stop mode (first stop mode to fourth stop mode) of the chance seg display 51 (1st stop mode to 4th stop mode). S3309). In this process, the stop time of the chance seg display 51 is determined by using the chance seg effect stop time determination table shown in FIG. 35.

Here, an example of a table for determining the stop time of the chance segment effect will be described with reference to FIG. 35. In this chance segment effect stop timing determination table, for each variation pattern information (P120 to 171), there are a plurality of stop modes for the first stop mode to the fourth stop mode and the first stop mode to the fourth stop mode. The stop time (incidental effect execution time) is associated with. Further, a determination ratio (allocation of determination values) for determining each stop time in each stop mode of the first stop mode to the fourth stop mode is associated.

The feature of this chance seg stop time determination table is that as the jackpot expectation increases from the first stop mode to the fourth stop mode, the ratio of the chance seg display 51 being stopped later increases. It is a point specified in. Therefore, the chance seg display 51 has a stop mode that suggests that the jackpot expectation is higher when the chance seg display 51 is stopped at the second time later than the first time. Is likely to be stopped and displayed.

If it is determined in S3308 that the chance segment effect is not being executed, or if the chance segment stop time is determined in S3309, it is subsequently determined that the chance zone effect is executed in the chance zone effect determination process (see FIG. 26). It is determined whether or not it was present (S3310). That is, it is determined whether or not the chance zone effect (see FIG. 27) as the look-ahead effect has been executed.

If it is determined in the chance zone effect determination process that the chance zone effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S3312. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case (that is, the chance zone effect as the look-ahead effect is not executed), the process proceeds to S3311.

When it is determined in S3306 that the chance zone effect as the look-ahead effect is not executed, the pseudo-people chance zone effect pattern determination process is executed (S3311). In this process, the effect content (pseudo-people chance zone effect pattern) of the pseudo-people chance zone effect is determined using the pseudo-people chance zone effect determination table shown in FIG.

Here, an example of a table for determining a pseudo-people chance zone effect will be described with reference to FIG. 36. As shown in FIG. 36, the pseudo-people chance zone effect determination table is the first pseudo-people chance zone effect determination table (FIG. 36 (a)) to the fourth pseudo-people chance zone effect determination table (FIG. 36 (d)). ) Consists of.

When it is determined in S3311 to execute the pseudo-people chance zone effect and the pseudo-people chance zone effect pattern is determined, for example, the pseudo-people shown in the above-mentioned production example 3 (see FIG. 12C) to effect example 8 (see FIG. 12H). They will be performing a chance zone production.

In the above-mentioned chance zone effect determination process (see FIG. 26), when the jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed, it is determined that 80% does not execute the chance zone effect and 20% executes the chance zone effect. Further, when the loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed, it is determined that 90% does not execute the chance zone effect and 10% executes the chance zone effect (see FIG. 15). Therefore, in S3311, 80% of the jackpot variation effect and 90% of the loss variation effect, which are determined not to execute the chance zone effect in the chance zone effect determination process, are defined in these pseudo-people chance zone effect determination tables. It is decided whether or not to execute the pseudo-people chance zone production based on the decision ratio. Therefore, rather than the chance zone effect that is executed when it is decided to execute the chance zone effect by the chance zone effect determination process, the pseudo-people chance zone effect that is executed when it is decided to execute the pseudo-people chance zone effect This is a production that suggests that the jackpot expectation is higher.

When it is determined in S3304 that the time is shortened, when it is determined in S3305 that the fluctuation pattern is less than P120, or in S3311 when the pseudo-people chance zone effect is determined, the other variable effect determination process is subsequently executed. (S3312). Other fluctuating production determination processing includes the fluctuating icon production, title production, cut-in production, whether or not each of the fluctuating effects other than the pseudo-people chance zone production can be executed, and the fluctuating production pattern of each of the other fluctuating effects. To determine.

Subsequently, the variation effect data storage process is executed (S3313). In this variation effect data storage process, the variation effect pattern and the variation effect pattern for executing each variation effect are stored in the RAM 121b as the variation effect pattern information. When this process is completed, the variable effect start process is terminated.

As described above, the variable effect pattern and each variable effect pattern are determined by the variable effect start process, and the pachinko gaming machine is executed by executing the variable effect based on the determined variable effect pattern and each variable effect pattern. The effect of 1 is improved.

Further, in this case, the chance lamp 52 may be turned on in the same lighting mode as at the start of the target variation effect, and it is suggested that the jackpot expectation is higher than that at the start of the target variation effect. The chance lamp 51 may be turned on in the lighting mode.

Further, in the chance seg effect of the present embodiment, the stop time of the chance seg display 51 is determined by the variable effect start process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stop time of the chance seg display 51 may be determined in the chance seg effect determination process.

Further, in the chance seg effect of the present embodiment, the chance seg display 51 is not stopped and displayed in the pre-variation effect. However, the chance segment display 51 may be stopped and displayed even in the pre-variation effect. In this case, the stop time may be determined in the chance segment effect determination process. When the chance segment display 51 stops and displays in the pre-variation effect, the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is such that the effect suggests that the jackpot expectation is very high (for example, the jackpot is confirmed). Is improved.

Further, in the button vibration effect of the present embodiment, the time for vibrating the first effect operation unit 31a is set as a fixed time (1s). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of times for vibrating the first effect operation unit 31a may be provided. Then, in this case, it is conceivable to change the vibration time according to the expected degree of jackpot. Further, it is conceivable that the vibration time is different from the pre-variation effect only at the start of the target variation effect.
