Further, when the special figure loss variation display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) in the low probability time saving state, the gaming state shifts to the normal state.

[Overview of production, etc. in pachinko gaming machine 1]
Next, an outline of the production and the like in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In addition, although many effects and the like are executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a typical effect will be described here. 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 temporary stop display (hereinafter referred to as "temporary stop") after the effect symbol 21LCR that has started the variation effect displays a 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 there is an effect of temporarily stopping after performing a reach effect and then temporarily stopping with a combination of lost symbols (for example, "767", "334", etc.).

The jackpot variable effect means that two of the effect symbols 21LCR that have started the variable 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 a 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 probabilistic jackpot may be executed. When notifying that it is a probable change 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 is a pattern in which the SP reach effect is executed after the normal reach effect is executed, 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 probable change state may be executed. This incidental production is a variable 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 ".

[Game control processing of the 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, make initial settings. Initial settings include access permission settings for RAM101b, 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 stored in the RAM 101b (for example, the game state at the time of power interruption (power supply stop), special figure 1 fluctuation display information, special figure 1 hold information, etc.), 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 interruption 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) according to the restoration process. Upon receiving the recovery command, the effect control microcomputer 121 restores the effect control state 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 the 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.

Subsequently, the input process is executed (S1200). The input processing is performed on 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, a random number update process is executed (S1300). The random number update process updates the random number values of various game random numbers used for game control by the game control microcomputer 101. The game random numbers include, for example, a big hit random number, a big hit type random number, a variation pattern random number, a normal figure random number, a normal 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 big hit 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 processing for normal drawing 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 reserved memory information for general maps, etc.). Further, in the processing for the normal drawing, 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 the special figure processing executed in the 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 FIG. 1 starting winning prize”) or the detection signal from the second starting port sensor 7a. (Hereinafter referred to as "Special Figure 2 Start Winning"), 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 were confirmed. It is composed of a general winning process executed in case of a case and a large winning process executed when reception of a detection signal from the first special winning opening 10 or the second special winning opening 11 is confirmed.

In the start winning process, when the first 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 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 read ahead (check 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 the start winning judgment ( 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 an effect control command and stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. Further, 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.

When the reception of the detection signal from the first prize opening sensor 10a is confirmed, the grand prize processing generates the first grand prize command as an effect control command and stores it in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. Further, when the reception of the detection signal from the second prize opening sensor 11a is confirmed, the second prize winning 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). Further, 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 process (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 process (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 change 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 the 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 the special figure 1 fluctuation display information (big hit random value, jackpot type random value, fluctuation pattern random value, etc.). Judgment and the LED 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. "Determining the stop symbol") is performed. In addition, based on the jackpot judgment result, the jackpot type judgment result, the fluctuation pattern random value, and the current game state (either normal state, probability change state, or low probability time reduction state), the fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the special figure 1 fluctuation display. ) Is determined. In addition, even when it is determined to execute the special figure 2 variation display, the same processing as when it is determined to execute the special figure 1 variation 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 the 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, and the like, 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 process is executed (S1450). The special figure fluctuation stop process performs a process of stopping and displaying the LED lighting pattern 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 made with the big hit lighting pattern, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 3, and when the stop display is made 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 displayed with a pattern, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0.

In addition, the special figure fluctuation stop process 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.

In the jackpot start process, first, the contents of the jackpot control to be executed based on the jackpot type, etc. (type of jackpot, jackpot opening time, maximum number of rounds, opening / closing pattern of jackpot of each round, interval time between each round) , 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 if the measured opening elapsed time matches the opening time, the process is shifted to the jackpot middle processing.

The big hit middle processing opens and closes the first big winning opening 10 and the second big winning opening 11 based on the type of 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, etc. Control. When starting a new round, a round start command is generated as an effect control command indicating the type of the big 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 big hit is determined. Here, when the jackpot type is a probabilistic jackpot, it is determined to shift the gaming state to the probabilistic variable 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 process, 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 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 the small hit end time is reached), the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0, and then the special figure is used. End the process.

[Production control processing of the effect control board 120]
When the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, electric 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 confirm 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 performed by the output of the restoration sound by the speaker 34. 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 receive interrupt process (S2100) is a process executed separately from the effect timer interrupt process, and is a process 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 the 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 to 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 process 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 is, for example, in order to use the received effect control command by the effect processing or the like in the RAM 121b from the special figure 1 hold storage area (special figure 1 hold 1 storage area (special figure 1 hold 1) to special figure 1 hold 1). 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)

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. Upon receiving the first start winning command or the second starting winning command, 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 a small hit command, a small hit medium 1st big prize command, or a 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 effect example 1 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, the effect example 1 shows a case where the hold icon effect and the variable icon effect in the icon effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In this effect example 1, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect 4 before the change of the target variation is set to 3.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 1 is to change the display mode of the hold icon without executing the effect suggesting that the display mode of the hold icon is changed.

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 the 4 fluctuations. Here, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 protection 4 icon (hold 4).

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 3 changes, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 3 icon, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 changes, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. Subsequently, the special 1 protection 2 icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T22. Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 2 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon (pre-reading target pending). Subsequently, the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "blinking white" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T22. Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 1 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "green". Then, at the incidental effect execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in the production example 1, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect 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 1 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 1, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display.

[Production example 2]
Next, an effect example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 10B. The effect example 2 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, the effect example 2 shows a case where the hold icon effect, the variable icon effect, and the hold icon first additional effect in the icon effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In this effect example 2, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect 4 before the change of the target variation is set to 3.

Here, the hold icon first additional effect will be described. In the hold icon first additional effect, first, an effect (change suggestion effect) in which the hold icon is concealed (difficult to see) by one or a plurality of character images is executed. Subsequently, an effect (change effect) in which the character image moves away from the hold icon is executed. Then, the display mode of the hold icon is changed and displayed according to the change effect. When the first additional effect of the hold icon is executed by one character image for one hold icon, the display mode of the hold icon is always changed. Further, when the hold icon first additional effect is executed for a plurality of hold icons by a plurality of character images, the display mode of the special 1 hold icon of any one of the plurality of hold icons is always changed.

In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. Subsequently, the hold icon first additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T21. In this hold icon first additional effect, a change suggestion effect of displaying the character image CA1 and hiding the special 1 hold 1 icon is executed. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player can see that the display mode of the special 1 maintenance 1 icon is changed.

After executing the change suggestion effect, the change effect that the character image CA1 moves away from the special 1 hold 1 icon is executed. Then, the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed according to the change effect. Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 1 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T56. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T61 and displayed.

In addition, in the effect example 2, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 2 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 2, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon first additional effect.

[Production example 3]
Next, an effect example 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 10C.

In this hold icon first additional effect, a change suggestion effect of displaying the character image CB2 and concealing the special 1 hold 2 icon is executed. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player can see that the display mode of the special 1 maintenance 1 icon is changed.

After executing the change suggestion effect, the change effect that the character image CB2 moves away from the special 1 hold 2 icon is executed. Then, the special 1 protection 2 icon is changed from "white" to "green" and displayed according to the change effect. Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 2 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "green". Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T61 and displayed.

In addition, in the effect example 3, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 3 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 3, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon first additional effect.

[Production example 4]
Next, an effect example 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 10D. The effect example 4 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the four fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, in the effect example 4, as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect, the hold icon effect, the variable icon effect, and the hold icon first additional effect in the icon effect are executed. In this effect example 4, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect 4 before the change of the target variation is set to 3.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "green". Then, at the incidental effect execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in the effect example 4, the display mode of the special 1 maintenance 2 icon is changed by executing the hold icon 1st additional effect. However, not only the special 1 protection 2 icon but also the special 1 protection 1 icon may be changed.

Further, in the effect example 4, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 4 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 4, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon first additional effect.

[Production example 5]
Next, an effect example 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 10E. The effect example 5 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the three fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, the effect example 5 shows a case where the hold icon effect, the variable icon effect, and the hold icon first additional effect in the icon effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In this effect example 5, the number of special figure 1 hold storage at the start of the change effect 3 before the change of the target change is set to 3, and Y120 is used as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 3 icon (hold 3). It is assumed that (SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 5 is that the hold icon 1st additional effect by the character images CA1 to CA4 is executed for the special 1 security 1 icon to the special 1 security 3 icon (or the special 1 security 4 icon). After suggesting that the display mode of any of these hold icons should be changed, the display mode of the special 1 hold 2 icon 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 before the 3 fluctuations.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 changes, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 3 icon, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, the hold icon first additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T21. In this hold icon first additional effect, by displaying the character images CA1 to CA4 and hiding the special 1 hold 1 icon to the special 1 hold 3 icon, any one of the special 1 hold 1 icon to the special 1 hold 3 icon is hidden. A change suggestion effect suggesting that one display mode is changed is executed. At this point, the character image CA4 only produces the special 1 protection 4 icon as if it were concealed. However, when a new start prize is generated for the special 1 start port 6 in this state, the special 1 protection 4 icon displayed at that time is displayed in a state of being hidden by the character image CA4. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player changes the display mode of the hold icon of any of the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon (or the special 1 protection 4 icon). You can see that.

After executing the change suggestion effect, the change effect in which the character images CA1 to CA4 move away from each special 1 hold icon is executed. Then, according to the change effect, the special 1 protection 2 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 3 icon are displayed as "white". Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 2 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T56. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T61 and displayed.

In addition, in the effect example 5, the display mode of the special 1 maintenance 2 icon is changed by executing the hold icon 1st additional effect. However, the display mode of the special 1 protection 1 icon and the special 1 protection 3 icon may be changed, not limited to the special 1 protection 2 icon.

Further, in the effect example 5, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 5, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon second additional effect.

[Production example 6]
Next, an effect example 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 10F. The effect example 6 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect 2 before the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, in the effect example 6, as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect, the hold icon effect, the variable icon effect, and the hold icon first additional effect in the icon effect are executed. In this effect example 6, the number of special figure 1 hold storage at the start of the change effect 2 before the change of the target change is set to 3, and Y120 is used as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 2 icon (hold 2). It is assumed that (SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 6 is that, unlike the effect example 5, the hold icon 1 additional effect by the character image CA1, the character image CB2, the character image CC3, and the character image CD4 is special 1 icon to special 1. After suggesting that the display mode of any of these hold icons is changed by executing for the hold 3 icon (or the special 1 hold 4 icon), the special 1 hold icon It is to change the display mode.

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 before the 2 fluctuation.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 3 icon, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, the hold icon first additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T21. In this hold icon first additional effect, the character image CA1, the character image CB2, the character image CC3, and the character image CD4 are displayed, and the special 1 hold 1 icon to the special 1 hold 3 icon are hidden to hide the special 1 hold 1 icon. A change suggestion effect suggesting that the display mode of any one of the icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon is changed is executed. At this point, the character image CD4 is merely producing as if the special 1 protection 4 icon is concealed. However, when a new start prize is generated for the special 1 start port 6 in this state, the special 1 protection 4 icon displayed at that time is displayed in a state of being hidden by the character image CD4. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player changes the display mode of the hold icon of any of the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon (or the special 1 protection 4 icon). You can see that.

After executing the change suggestion effect, the change effect is executed in which each character image CA1 to CD4 moves away from each special 1 hold icon. Then, according to the change effect, the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and the special 1 protection 2 icon and the special 1 protection 3 icon are displayed as "white". Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 1 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". In addition, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T56. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T61 and displayed.

In addition, in the effect example 6, the display mode of the special 1 maintenance 1 icon is changed by executing the hold icon 1st additional effect. However, the display mode of the special 1 protection 2 icon and the special 1 protection 3 icon may be changed, not limited to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Further, in the effect example 6, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 6, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon second additional effect.

[Production example 7]
Next, an effect example 7 will be described with reference to FIG. 10G. The effect example 7 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect before the three fluctuations of the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, the effect example 7 shows a case where the hold icon effect, the variable icon effect, and the hold icon second additional effect in the icon effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In addition, in this effect example 7, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect 3 before the change of the target variation is set to 3. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 maintenance 3 icon (hold 3).

Here, the hold icon second additional effect will be described. In the hold icon second additional effect, first, by displaying a character image above the display position of the special 1 security 1 icon, an effect suggesting that the special 1 security 1 icon is changed (change suggestion effect) is executed. Subsequently, when the special 1 hold icon that is the target of the effect is displayed as the special 1 protection 1 icon, the effect (change effect) that disappears after covering the special 1 protection 1 icon is executed. Then, the display mode of the hold icon is changed and displayed according to the change effect. The special 1 hold icon to be produced is one of the special 1 protection 1 icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon. Further, the change suggestion effect is continuously executed (displayed) until the special 1 hold icon that is the target of the effect is displayed as the special 1 hold icon. When the second additional effect of the hold icon is executed, the display mode of the special 1 hold icon of any one of the special 1 hold icons displayed at this time is always changed.

The difference from the above-mentioned hold icon first additional effect is that in the hold icon first additional effect, one or more hold icons hidden by the character image in the change suggestion effect are the execution targets of the change effect to be executed after that. On the other hand, in the hold icon 2nd additional effect, the hold icon (special 1 hold 1 icon) at the time when the change suggestion effect is started and the hold icon after this hold icon are displayed. , This is the point to be executed for the change effect.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 7 is that when the special 1 item 3 icon, which is the object of the effect, is shifted and displayed as the special 1 item 1 icon by executing the hold icon 2nd additional effect, the special 1 item icon is displayed. It is to change the display mode.

First, the hold icon second additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T22 during the execution of the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before the three changes. When the execution of the second additional effect of the hold icon is started, the ring image RA appears above the special 1 protection 1 icon displayed in "white", and then the ring image RA rotates above the special 1 protection 1 icon. The change suggestion effect is executed by displaying the image to be displayed. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player can see that the display mode of the hold icon of any of the special 1 security 1 icon to the special 1 security 3 icon is changed.

Then, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) before 2 changes, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. In addition, the change suggestion effect is continuously executed.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. In addition, the change suggestion effect is continuously executed.

Subsequently, as a change effect from the incidental effect execution time T21, the ring image RA that was rotating above the Toku 1 Ho 1 icon gradually expands to display an image that covers the Toku 1 Ho 1 icon, and then the ring. Perform the effect that the image RA disappears. Then, the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed according to the change effect. Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 1 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T56. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T61 and displayed.

In the effect example 7, by executing the hold icon 2 additional effect, the execution of the hold icon 2 additional effect is started for the special 1 hold 3 icon, and the special 1 hold 3 icon is the special 1 hold 1. An example is shown in which the display mode is changed when the icon is shifted and displayed. However, the hold icon to be the target of the hold icon second additional effect is not limited to the special 1 hold 3 icon, and may be a special 1 hold 2 icon or a special 1 hold 1 icon.

In addition, in the effect example 7, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 7 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 7, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon second additional effect.

[Production example 8]
Next, an effect example 8 will be described with reference to FIG. 10H. In the effect example 8, 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, the effect example 8 shows a case where the hold icon effect, the variable icon effect, and the hold icon second additional effect in the icon effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In this effect example 8, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect 3 before the change of the target variation is set to 3. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 maintenance 2 icon (hold 2).

The feature of the effect in the effect example 8 is that by executing the second additional effect of the hold icon, when the special 1 item 2 icon that is the object of the effect is shifted and displayed as the special 1 item 1 icon, the special item 1 icon is displayed. The point is to change the display mode.

First, the pre-variation effect before 3 fluctuations is completed, and the pre-variation effect before 2 fluctuations (loss variation effect) is started, so that the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 2 icon, and the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon.

Subsequently, the hold icon second additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T22. When the execution of the second additional effect of the hold icon is started, the ring image RA appears above the special 1 protection 1 icon displayed in "white", and then the ring image RA rotates above the special 1 protection 1 icon. The change suggestion effect is executed by displaying the image to be displayed. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player can see that the display mode of the hold icon of either the special 1 security 1 icon or the special 1 security 2 icon is changed.

Subsequently, by starting the pre-variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 protection 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 protection 1 icon. In addition, the change suggestion effect is continuously executed.

Subsequently, as a change effect from the incidental effect execution time T21, the ring image RA that was rotating above the Toku 1 Ho 1 icon gradually expands to display an image that covers the Toku 1 Ho 1 icon, and then the ring. Perform the effect that the image RA disappears. Then, the special 1 protection 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed according to the change effect. Here, the expectation for the jackpot for the variable display corresponding to the player's special 1 protection 1 icon increases.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T56. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T61 and displayed.

In the effect example 8, by executing the hold icon 2 additional effect, the execution of the hold icon 2 additional effect is started for the special 1 hold 2 icon, and the special 1 hold 2 icon is the special 1 hold 1. An example is shown in which the display mode is changed when the icon is shifted and displayed. However, the hold icon to be the target of the hold icon second additional effect is not limited to the special 1 hold 2 icon, and may be a special 1 hold 3 icon or a special 1 hold 1 icon.

Further, in the effect example 8, an example in which the SP1 reach 1 loss variation 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 8 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 8, it is possible to increase the expectation for the jackpot for the pending variable display by the hold icon second additional effect.

[Production example 9]
Next, an effect example 9 will be described with reference to FIG. 10I. The effect example 9 shows a case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the variable icon first additional effect are executed as the variable effect in the incidental effect during the execution of the variable effect. In this effect example 9, it is assumed that the SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect is executed based on the variation pattern information P130, and the display mode of the variation icon when the variation is started is “white blinking”.

Here, the variable icon first additional effect will be described. In the variable icon first additional effect, a character image is first displayed above the display position of the variable icon, and an effect (change suggestion effect) in which the character image flies toward the variable icon is executed. Subsequently, after performing an effect in which the character image hides the variable icon (difficult to see), an effect of flying away (change effect) is executed. Then, the display mode of the variable icon is changed and displayed according to the change effect. It should be noted that the display mode of the variable icon may be displayed without being changed according to the change effect, and the change effect executed in such a case is the Gase change effect.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 9 is that the effect of changing the display mode of the variable icon is executed by executing the variable icon first additional effect.

First, when the SP1 reach 1 loss variable effect is started, the variable icon first additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T93. When the execution of the first additional effect of the variable icon is started, the change suggestion effect is executed by displaying the image of the character image KA flying toward the variable icon displayed as "blinking white" from above. Subsequently, after the character image KA executes an effect of hiding the variable icon, a change effect is executed by displaying an image that flies away. Then, the variable icon is changed from "blinking white" to "blue" according to the change effect and displayed.

Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed at the incidental effect execution time T98. Subsequently, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" at the incidental effect execution time T106 and displayed.

In addition, in the effect example 9, an example of executing the SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect in the target variation effect is shown. However, the target variation effect is other than SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect (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 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 timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 9, it is possible to raise the player's expectation for the big hit by the variable icon first additional effect.

[Production example 10]
Next, an effect example 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 10J. The effect example 10 shows a case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the variable icon first additional effect are executed as the variable effect in the incidental effect during the execution of the variable effect. In this effect example 10, it is assumed that the normal reach 1 loss variation effect is executed based on the variation pattern information P110, and the display mode of the variation icon when the variation is started is “white blinking”.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 10 is that the display mode of the variable icon is not changed even if the variable icon first additional effect is executed.

First, when the normal reach 1 loss variation effect is started, the variation icon first additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T42. When the execution of the first additional effect of the variable icon is started, the change suggestion effect is executed by displaying the image of the character image KA flying toward the variable icon displayed as "blinking white" from above. Subsequently, after the character image KA executes an effect of hiding the variable icon, a change effect is executed by displaying an image that flies away, but the variable icon is displayed as "blinking white". Therefore, the change effect in this case is a Gase change effect.

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 10, it is possible to once raise the expectation of the player for the jackpot by the variable icon first additional effect and then be discouraged.

[Production example 11]
Next, the effect example 11 will be described with reference to FIG. 10K. The effect example 11 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect one change before the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, the effect example 11 shows a case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the variable icon second additional effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In this effect example 11, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect one change before the target variation is set to one. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 maintenance 1 icon (hold 1).

Here, the second additional effect of the variable icon will be described. The effect content of the variable icon second additional effect is the same as that of the above-mentioned variable icon first additional effect. However, what is different from the variable icon first additional effect is that the variable icon first additional effect is an effect executed for the purpose of suggesting the jackpot expectation of the variable display being executed, whereas the variable icon second addition effect is performed. The effect is not executed for the purpose of suggesting the jackpot expectation of the variable display during execution, but is executed for the purpose of suggesting the jackpot expectation for the variable display after the variable display during execution (look-ahead effect). The point is that.

The feature of the effect in the effect example 11 is that by executing the second additional effect of the variable icon by the character image KA, the jackpot expectation degree in the variable display executed after the variable display is suggested.

First, when the pre-variation effect (normal reach 1 loss variation effect) before one variation is started, the variation icon second additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T35. When the execution of the variable icon second additional effect is started, the change suggestion effect is executed by displaying the image flying toward the variable icon displayed as "white" from above by the character image KA. Subsequently, after the character image KA executes an effect of hiding the variable icon, a change effect is executed by displaying an image that flies away. Then, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed according to the change effect. Here, by changing the variable icon from "white" to "blinking white" and displaying it, the player's expectation for the jackpot for this variable effect increases, but the pre-variable effect before this one change has a normal reach. The player is disappointed because the player loses the game just by executing the game and does not even develop into SP1 reach.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Subsequently, at the incidental effect execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and then the SP reach 1 effect is executed and a loss occurs.

In addition, in the production example 11, the case where the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is one is shown as an example. However, the variable icon second additional effect may be executed not only when the special figure 1 reserved storage number is 1 but also when the special figure 1 reserved storage number is 2 to 4. Then, when the variable icon second additional effect is executed when the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 2 to 4, any of the reserved icons from the special 1 maintenance icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. Be the target.

Further, in the effect example 11, an example of executing the SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect 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 timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ. Further, the variation effect before the change of the target variation effect is not limited to the normal reach 1 loss variation effect (variation pattern information = P110), but may be a loss variation effect (variation pattern information = P100 to 102).

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 11, the variation icon is displayed as "white" after the player is once discouraged by the variation effect (pre-variation effect) before the change of the target variation effect. Therefore, it is possible to raise the player's expectation for the jackpot from disappointment in the target variation production that the player does not expect.

[Production example 12]
Next, the effect example 12 will be described with reference to FIG. 10L. The effect example 12 shows a variation effect and an incidental effect executed from the variation effect one change before the target variation to the target variation effect. Further, the effect example 12 shows a case where the variable icon effect in the icon effect and the variable icon second additional effect are executed as the look-ahead effect in the incidental effect. In this effect example 12, the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 at the start of the variation effect one change before the target variation is set to one. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation effect) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 maintenance 1 icon (hold 1).

The feature of the effect in the effect example 12 is that the second additional effect of the variable icon is executed by the character image KB different from the effect example 11 to suggest the jackpot expectation in the variable display executed after the variable display. be.

First, when the pre-variation effect (normal reach 1 loss variation effect) before one variation is started, the variation icon second additional effect is executed from the incidental effect execution time T35. When the execution of the variable icon second additional effect is started, the change suggestion effect is executed by displaying the image flying toward the variable icon displayed as "white" from above by the character image KB. Subsequently, after the character image KB executes an effect of hiding the variable icon, a change effect is executed by displaying an image that flies away. Then, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed according to the change effect. Here, by changing the variable icon from "white" to "blue" and displaying it, the player's expectation for the jackpot for this variable effect increases, but in the pre-variable effect before this one change, the normal reach is achieved. The player is disappointed because it is lost just by being executed and does not even develop into SP1 reach.

Subsequently, by starting the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Subsequently, at the incidental effect execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and then the SP reach 1 effect is executed and a loss occurs.

In addition, in the production example 12, the case where the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is one is shown as an example. However, the variable icon second additional effect may be executed not only when the special figure 1 reserved storage number is 1 but also when the special figure 1 reserved storage number is 2 to 4. Then, when the variable icon second additional effect is executed when the number of reserved storages in the special figure 1 is 2 to 4, any of the reserved icons from the special 1 maintenance icon to the special 1 protection 3 icon is displayed. Be the target.

Further, in the effect example 12, an example in which the SP1 reach 1 loss variation 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 12 can be executed. In such a case, the timing of executing the incidental effect, the display mode of the icon effect, and the like may differ. Further, the variation effect before the change of the target variation effect is not limited to the normal reach 1 loss variation effect (variation pattern information = P110), but may be a loss variation effect (variation pattern information = P100 to 102).

As described above, by executing the effect shown as the effect example 12, the variation icon is displayed as "white" after the player is once discouraged by the variation effect (pre-variation effect) before the change of the target variation effect. Therefore, it is possible to raise the player's expectation for the jackpot from disappointment in the target variation production that the player does not expect.

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, and the effect content (look-ahead effect pattern) of the look-ahead effect.

When the CPU 121C starts the look-ahead effect determination process, it first determines whether or not the hold icon effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed (S3211). Then, when it is determined that the hold icon effect is being executed or is scheduled to be executed, the process proceeds to S3216. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process proceeds to S3212.

When it is determined in S3211 that the hold icon effect is not being executed and there is no schedule for execution, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed (S3212). In this process, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed by using the hold icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12 (a). In this process, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed based on the determination ratio (allocation of the determination value) specified in the item of "hold icon effect" in the hold icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12 (a). Will be done.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the hold icon effect (S3213). Then, when it is determined that the hold icon effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S3214. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon effect is not executed, the process proceeds to S3216.

When it is determined in S3213 that the hold icon effect is to be executed, the hold icon effect pattern is determined (S3214). In this process, the hold icon effect pattern is determined using the hold icon effect determination table shown in FIGS. 13A to 13D.

Here, an example of a table for determining a hold icon effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 13A to 13D. As shown in FIGS. 13A to 13D, the hold icon effect determination table 1 (FIG. 13A) used in the normal state, the hold icon effect determination table 2 (FIG. 13B), and the time saving state are shown. It is composed of a hold icon effect determination table 3 (FIG. 13C) and a hold icon effect determination table 4 (FIG. 13D) used in the above.

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, even when the normal reach 1 jackpot variation effect or the normal reach 2 jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon may be a color of "green" or more.

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. However, as an exception, the display mode of the hold icon may be the color of "rainbow" when the normal reach 3 jackpot fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed.

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

FIG. 13A is used to determine the hold icon effect pattern when 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). It is a table 1 for determining a hold icon effect pattern.

In the hold icon effect pattern determination table 1, the determination ratios of the hold icon effect patterns PA01 to PA22 and the hold icon effect patterns PA01 to PA22 for each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171) ( Judgment value allocation) is associated. Further, for each hold icon effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon effect to be executed until the special 1 hold 4 icon (hold 4) to the special 1 hold 1 icon (hold 1) is displayed is defined. 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.

FIG. 13B is used to determine the hold icon effect pattern 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 a hold icon effect pattern.

In the hold icon effect pattern determination table 2, the determination ratios of the hold icon effect patterns PA31 to PA41 and the hold icon effect patterns PA31 to PA41 for each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171) ( Judgment value allocation) is associated. Further, for each hold icon effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon effect to be executed until the special 1 hold 2 icon (hold 2) to the special 1 hold 1 icon (hold 1) is displayed is defined. 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.

FIG. 13C shows when the hold icon effect pattern is determined 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 a hold icon effect pattern used for.

In the hold icon effect pattern determination table 3, the determination ratios of the hold icon effect patterns PA51 to PA59 and the hold icon effect patterns PA51 to PA59 for each look-ahead pattern information (Y200 to Y280) ( Judgment value allocation) is associated. Further, for each hold icon effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon effect to be executed until the special 2 hold 4 icon (hold 4) to the special 2 hold 1 icon (hold 1) is displayed is defined. If the new special figure 2 hold information is the special figure 2 hold 3 information (hold 3), 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.

FIG. 13D is used 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), and the hold icon effect pattern is determined. It is a table 4 for determining a hold icon effect pattern.

In the hold icon effect pattern determination table 4, the determination ratios of the hold icon effect patterns PA61 to PA68 and the hold icon effect patterns PA61 to PA68 for each look-ahead pattern information (Y200 to Y280) ( Judgment value allocation) is associated. Further, for each hold icon effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon effect to be executed until the special 2 hold 2 icon (hold 2) to the special 2 hold 1 icon (hold 1) is displayed is defined. 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.

When the hold icon effect pattern is determined by the process of S3214, it is set as the hold icon effect data (S3215).

Subsequently, other look-ahead effect determination processing is executed (S3216). The other look-ahead effect determination process determines whether or not the look-ahead effect other than the hold icon effect can be executed, and the look-ahead effect pattern to be executed.

Subsequently, the look-ahead effect data storage process is executed (S3217). In this look-ahead effect data storage process, effect data for executing each look-ahead effect (type of look-ahead effect to be executed, effect pattern of look-ahead effect, etc.) is stored in RAM 121b as look-ahead effect pattern information. When the process of S3217 is completed, the look-ahead effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined to execute the hold icon effect by this look-ahead effect determination process and the hold icon effect pattern is determined, for example, the hold icon effect shown in the above-mentioned effect example 1 (see FIG. 10A) is executed. .. Further, when it is determined to execute the hold icon effect by this look-ahead effect determination process and the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined by the hold icon first additional effect determination process (see FIG. 16) described later, for example, the above description is described. The hold icon first additional effect shown in the effect example 2 (see FIG. 10B) to the effect example 6 (see FIG. 10F) can be executed. Further, when it is determined to execute the hold icon effect by this look-ahead effect determination process and the hold icon second additional effect pattern is determined by the hold icon second additional effect determination process (see FIG. 18) described later, for example, the above description is described. The second additional effect of the hold icon shown in the effect example 7 (see FIG. 10G) and the effect example 8 (see FIG. 10H) can be executed.

As described above, when it is determined to execute the hold icon effect by the look-ahead effect determination process and the hold icon effect pattern is determined, the hold icon effect based on the determined hold icon effect pattern is executed, thereby pachinko. The effect of the gaming machine 1 is improved.

[Variation production start processing]
Next, an example of the variation effect start process executed in the variation effect process (S3300) in the effect effect process (see FIG. 6) described above will be described with reference to FIG. The variable effect start process is a process for determining an effect pattern of the variable effect (variable effect pattern), whether or not the effect during the change, which is an incidental effect, can be executed, an effect pattern of the effect during the change (effect pattern during the change), and the like.

Further, in the variable effect start processing, whether or not the above-mentioned hold icon first additional effect can be executed, the effect pattern of the hold icon first additional effect is determined, whether or not the hold icon second additional effect can be executed, and the hold icon second additional effect can be executed. Executes the process of determining the effect pattern of. Further, in the variable effect start processing, whether or not the above-mentioned variable icon first additional effect can be executed, the effect pattern of the variable icon first additional effect is determined, and whether or not the variable icon second additional effect can be executed and the variable icon second additional effect are executed. Executes the process of determining the effect pattern of.

When the CPU 121C starts the variation effect start process, it first determines the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern information (S3301).

Subsequently, the combination of the effect symbols is determined (S3302). In this process, the combination of the effect symbols 21LCR and the like when the variable effect is temporarily stopped or stopped is determined.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect data is set (S3303). If it is determined that the hold icon effect data is set, the process proceeds to S3304. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon effect data is not set, the process proceeds to S3308.

When it is determined in S3303 that the hold icon effect data is set, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the time saving state (S3304). If it is determined that the gaming state is not the reduced working hours state, the process proceeds to S3305. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gaming state is the reduced working hours state, the process proceeds to S3312.

When the variable icon effect pattern is determined in S3308 and the variable icon effect data is set, for example, the variable icon effect shown in the above-mentioned effect example 1 (see FIG. 10A) to effect example 12 (see FIG. 10L) is executed. Will be.

When the variable icon effect pattern is determined in S3308, the variable icon first additional effect determination process is subsequently executed (S3309). The process of determining the first additional effect of the variable icon will be described later with reference to FIG.

When the variable icon first additional effect determination process is completed in S3309, it is determined whether or not the variable icon first additional effect data is set (S3310). Then, when it is determined that the variable icon first additional effect data is set, the process proceeds to S3312. On the other hand, if it is determined that the variable icon first additional effect data is not set, the process proceeds to S3311.

When it is determined in S3310 that the variable icon first additional effect data is not set, the variable icon second additional effect determination process is executed (S3311). The process of determining the second additional effect of the variable icon will be described later with reference to FIG. 22.

When it is determined in S3304 that the time is shortened, or when it is determined in S3310 that the variable icon first additional effect data is set, another variable effect effect determination process is subsequently executed (S3312). The other changing effect determination process determines whether or not each of the other changing effects can be executed, and the changing effect pattern of each of the other changing effects.

Subsequently, the variable effect data storage process is executed (S3313). In this variable effect data storage process, the variable effect pattern, the variable icon effect data, and the incidental effect data for executing each incidental effect (variable effect, look-ahead effect, etc.) are stored in the RAM 121b as the variable effect data. 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.

[Hold icon 1st additional effect determination process]
Next, an example of the hold icon first additional effect determination process executed in S3305 of the above-mentioned variation effect start process will be described with reference to FIG. In this hold icon first additional effect determination process, when it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon first additional effect and it is decided to execute the hold icon first additional effect, the effect content of the hold icon first additional effect (hold icon first). 1 Additional effect pattern) is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the hold icon first additional effect determination process, it first determines whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 1 (special 1 hold 1 icon) (S33051). In this process, the hold icon effect data (see FIG. 11) set based on the hold icon effect pattern determined using the above-mentioned hold icon effect pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D) is referred to. Thereby, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 1 (whether or not it is set to change the display mode of the hold 1 in this variation effect). Then, when it is determined that the display mode of the hold 1 (special 1 hold 1 icon) is changed, 1 is set in the hold icon 1st additional effect target hold data AE (hereinafter referred to as “AE”), and then processing is performed in S33054. Proceed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display mode of the hold 1 is not changed, the process proceeds to S33052.

When it is determined in S33051 that the display mode of the hold 1 (special 1 hold 1 icon) is not changed, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 2 (special 1 hold 2 icon) (S33052). In this process, the hold icon effect data (see FIG. 11) set based on the hold icon effect pattern determined using the above-mentioned hold icon effect pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D) is referred to. Thereby, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 2 (whether or not it is set to change the display mode of the hold 2 in this variation effect). Then, when it is determined that the display mode of the hold 2 (special 1 protection 1 icon) is changed, 2 is set in the AE, and then the process proceeds to S33054. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display mode of the hold 2 is not changed, the process proceeds to S33053.

When it is determined in S33052 that the display mode of the hold 1 (special 1 hold 2 icon) is not changed, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 3 (special 1 hold 3 icon) (S33053). In this process, the hold icon effect data (see FIG. 11) set based on the hold icon effect pattern determined using the above-mentioned hold icon effect pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D) is referred to. Thereby, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 3 (whether or not it is set to change the display mode of the hold 3 in this variation effect). Then, when it is determined that the display mode of the hold 3 (special 1 protection 3 icon) is changed, 3 is set in the AE, and then the process proceeds to S33054. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display mode of the hold 3 is not changed, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is terminated.

When any of 1 to 3 is set in AE in the processing of S33051 to S33053, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold (changing the display mode) is Y110 (normal reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed). It is determined whether or not it is the above (S33054). Then, when it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold is Y110 or more, the process proceeds to S33055. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is terminated.

If it is determined in S33054 that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold is Y110 or more, is all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold other than the corresponding hold Y102 (scheduled to execute the loss fluctuation effect) or less? It is determined whether or not (S33055). Then, when it is determined that all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold other than the corresponding hold is Y102 or less, the process proceeds to S33056. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is terminated.

The point that the processes of S33051 to S33055 are executed is a feature of the hold icon first additional effect determination process.

When it is determined in S33055 that all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold other than the corresponding hold is Y102 or less, it is subsequently determined whether or not the hold icon first additional effect can be executed (S33056). In this process, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed by using the hold icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12 (a). In this process, "AE = 1", "AE = 2", and "AE = 3" in the item of "hold icon first additional effect" in the hold icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12 (a). Based on the determination ratio (allocation of determination values) specified for each of the above, whether or not to execute the hold icon first additional effect is determined.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is determined to execute the hold icon first additional effect in the process of S33056 (S33057). Then, when it is determined that the hold icon first additional effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S33058. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon first additional effect is not executed, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S33057 that the hold icon first additional effect is to be executed, the effect content (hold icon first additional effect pattern) of the hold icon first additional effect is determined (S33058). In this process, the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined using the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table shown in FIG.

Here, an example of the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table includes the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 1 (FIG. 17 (a)) and the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 2 (FIG. 17). 17 (b)) and the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 3 (FIG. 17 (c)).

In the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 2, the hold icon first additional effect pattern PF11 to 18 is used for each of the colors "white flashing" to "rainbow" after the display mode of the hold is changed. , The determination ratio (allocation of determination values) of each hold icon first additional effect pattern in the hold icon first additional effect pattern PF11-18 is associated with the hold icon first additional effect pattern PF11-18. Further, for each hold icon 1st additional effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 1st additional effect to be executed (special 1 protection 1 icon (or special 1 protection 2 icon and special 1 protection 2 icon) is reserved. The mode of the character that executes the icon first additional effect) is defined.

The first feature of the hold icon 1st additional effect pattern determined by using the hold icon 1st additional effect pattern determination table is that the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1 or 2) is "blinking white". When it is changed to "blue", the ratio of PF11 is determined is high, and when the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1 or 2) is changed to "green" or "red", PF12 is determined. If the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1 or 2) is changed to "gold", the ratio of PF13 is high and the corresponding hold (hold 1 or 2) is high. When the display mode is changed to "rainbow", the ratio of determining PF14 is high. The second feature is that the hold icon first additional effect is executed by two character images or one character image (when PF15 to 18 are determined, special 1 if AE = 1). The hold icon first additional effect is executed for the hold 1 icon, and if AE = 2, the hold icon second additional effect is executed for the special 1 hold 2 icon).

FIG. 17C is a table 3 for determining the hold icon first additional effect pattern, which is used when the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined when the number of hold storages is 3.

In the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 3, the hold icon first additional effect pattern PF21 to 26 is used for each of the colors “white flashing” to “rainbow” after the display mode of the hold is changed. , The determination ratio (allocation of determination values) of each hold icon first additional effect pattern in the hold icon first additional effect pattern PF21 to 26 is associated with the hold icon first additional effect pattern PF21 to 26. Further, for each hold icon 1st additional effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon 1st additional effect to be executed (special 1 protection 1 icon (or special 1 protection 2 icon and special 1 protection 2 icon) is reserved. The mode of the character that executes the icon first additional effect) is defined.

The first feature of the hold icon first additional effect pattern determined by using the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 3 is that the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1, 2, or 3) is "". When it is changed to "blinking white" or "blue", the ratio of PF21 being determined is high, and the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1, 2, or 3) is changed to "green" or "red". If so, the rate at which PF22 is determined is high, and if the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1, 2, or 3) is changed to "gold", the rate at which PF23 is determined is high. When the display mode of the hold 1 is changed to "rainbow", the ratio of determining the PF 24 is high.

When the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined by the process of S33058, the hold icon first additional effect pattern is set as the hold icon first additional effect data (S33059). The hold icon first additional effect data set in this process is stored in the RAM 121b as the variable effect data in the above-mentioned variable effect data storage process (S3313). When the process of S33058 is completed, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is terminated.

[Hold icon second additional effect determination process]
Next, an example of the hold icon second additional effect determination process executed in S3307 of the variable effect start process described above will be described with reference to FIG. In this hold icon second additional effect determination process, when it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon second additional effect and it is decided to execute the hold icon second additional effect, the effect content of the hold icon second additional effect (hold icon first). 2 Additional effect pattern) is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the hold icon second additional effect determination process, it first determines whether or not the hold icon second additional effect data is set (the hold icon second additional effect is being executed from the previous variable effect). Judgment (S33071). Then, when it is determined that the hold icon second additional effect data is set, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon second additional effect data is not set, the process proceeds to S33072.

When it is determined in S33071 that the hold icon second additional effect data is not set, the hold for changing the display mode of the special 1 hold 1 icon from "white" to "blue" or higher is stored when hold 1. It is determined whether or not it is (S33072). In this process, the hold icon effect data (see FIG. 11) set based on the hold icon effect pattern determined using the above-mentioned hold icon effect pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D) is referred to. Thereby, it is determined whether or not the hold (hold icon effect data) for changing the display mode of the special 1 hold 1 icon from "white" to "blue" or more at the time of hold 1 is stored. Then, when it is determined that the hold for changing the display mode of the special 1 hold 1 icon from "white" to "blue" or more is stored at the time of hold 1, the process proceeds to S33073. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated.

If it is determined in S33072 that a hold for changing the display mode of the special 1 hold 1 icon from "white" to a color of "blue" or higher is stored when hold 1, the corresponding hold is hold 1. (S33073). Then, when it is determined that the corresponding hold is hold 1, 1 is set in the hold icon second additional effect target hold data BE (hereinafter referred to as "BE"), and then the process proceeds to S33076. On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding hold is not hold 1, the process proceeds to S33074.

When it is determined in S33073 that the corresponding hold is not hold 1, it is determined whether or not the corresponding hold is hold 2 (S33074). Then, when it is determined that the corresponding hold is hold 2, 2 is set in BE, and then the process proceeds to S33076. On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding hold is not hold 2, the process proceeds to S33075.

When it is determined in S33074 that the corresponding hold is not hold 2, it is determined whether or not the corresponding hold is hold 3 (S33075). Then, when it is determined that the corresponding hold is hold 3, the process is proceeded to S33076 after setting 3 in BE. On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding hold is not hold 3, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated.

When any of 1 to 3 is set in BE in the processing of S33073 to S33075, whether or not the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold is Y120 (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect) or more. Is determined (S33076). Then, when it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold is Y120 or more, the process proceeds to S33077. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S33076 that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold is Y120 or more, all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold stored before the corresponding hold is Y102 (scheduled to execute the loss fluctuation effect). It is determined whether or not it is as follows (S33077). Then, when it is determined that all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold stored before the corresponding hold is Y102 or less, the process proceeds to S33078. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated.

The point that the processes of S33071 to S33077 are executed is a feature of the hold icon second additional effect determination process.

When it is determined in S33077 that all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold stored before the corresponding hold is Y102 or less, it is subsequently determined whether or not the hold icon second additional effect can be executed (S33078). In this process, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed by using the hold icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12 (a). In this process, "BE = 1", "BE = 2", and "BE = 3" in the item of "hold icon second additional effect" in the table for determining the hold icon effect shown in FIG. 12 (a). Whether or not to execute the hold icon second additional effect is determined based on the determination ratio (allocation of the determination value) specified for each of the above.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is determined to execute the hold icon second additional effect in the process of S33078 (S33079). Then, when it is determined that the hold icon second additional effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S33080. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon second additional effect is not executed, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S33079 that the hold icon second additional effect is to be executed, the effect content of the hold icon second additional effect (hold icon second additional effect pattern) is determined (S33080). In this process, the hold icon second additional effect pattern is determined using the hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table shown in FIG.

Here, an example of the table for determining the second additional effect pattern of the hold icon will be described with reference to FIG.

In this hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table, the corresponding hold is hold 1 (BE = 1), the corresponding hold is hold 2 (BE = 2), or the corresponding hold is hold 3. For each of the cases (BE = 3), the determination ratio (determination value) of the hold icon second additional effect pattern PG01 to 03 and the hold icon second additional effect pattern PG01 to 03 in the hold icon second additional effect pattern PG01 to 03. Allocation) is associated. In addition, for each hold icon second additional effect pattern, the effect content of the hold icon second additional effect to be executed (the effect content until it is displayed as the special 1 security 1 icon and the effect content until it is displayed as the special 1 security 1 icon is displayed. The content of the production when it is done) is specified.

In this hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table, when the corresponding hold is hold 2 (BE = 2) or hold 3 (BE = 3), the variation effect until it is displayed as the special 1 hold 1 icon. Is a hold icon second additional effect pattern in which the change suggestion effect is continuously executed and the change effect is executed when the corresponding hold is displayed as the special 1 protection 1 icon.

When the hold icon second additional effect pattern is determined by the process of S33080, the hold icon second additional effect pattern is set as the hold icon second additional effect data (S33081). The hold icon second additional effect data set in this process is stored in the RAM 121b as the variable effect data in the above-mentioned variable effect data storage process (S3313). When the process of S33080 is completed, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined to execute the hold icon second additional effect by the hold icon second additional effect pattern determination process and the hold icon second additional effect pattern is determined, for example, the above-mentioned effect example 7 (see FIG. 10G) or the effect. The second additional effect of the hold icon shown in Example 8 (see FIG. 10H) is added and executed in the hold icon effect.

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