[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 numerical 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. Execute. 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 includes the first start port sensor 6a, the second start 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. Note that 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 per 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, 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 obtained as the special figure 2 hold information. Of (1st to 4th areas), it is stored in the highest empty 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 special winning opening sensor 11a is confirmed, the second big 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 processing (S1450). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 3, the process shifts to the jackpot process (S1460). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 4, the process shifts to the jackpot end processing (S1470). Further, when the value of the special figure execution data is 5, the process shifts to the small hit process (S1480).

When the value of the special figure execution data is 0, the special figure change preprocessing is executed (S1430). The special figure change pre-processing is a process to be executed before the start of the special figure change display. In the special figure change preprocessing, first, it is determined whether to execute the special figure 1 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 gaming state (either normal state, probability variation state, or low probability time reduction state), the fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the special figure 1 variation display. ) Is determined. Even when it is determined that the special figure 2 variable display is to be executed, the same processing as when it is determined to execute the special figure 1 variable display is performed (the special figure 1 display 4a is replaced with the special figure 2 display 4b, and the special figure 2 display 4b is replaced. In addition, the number of reserved storages in 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 processing 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 an ending time or 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, 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, from the special figure 1 hold storage area (special figure 1 hold 1 storage area (special figure 1 hold 1) to the special figure 1 hold storage area) in the RAM 121b in order to use the received effect control command by the effect processing or the like. 1 storage area for hold 4 (special figure 1 hold 4)), special figure 2 hold storage area (special figure 2 hold 1 storage area (special figure 2 hold 1) to special figure 2 hold 4 storage area (special figure 2 hold 4) 2 Hold 4)), a process of storing in a storage area for variable effect, a storage area for big hit effect, and various setting processes.

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

[Example of pseudo-continuous development production]
Next, an example of the pseudo-continuous development effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10D. The pseudo-continuous development effect is an effect that notifies whether or not to develop (continue the pseudo-variation effect) to the next pseudo-variation effect. The pseudo-continuous development effect includes a first pseudo-continuous development effect, a second pseudo-continuous development effect, and a third pseudo-continuous development effect.

FIG. 10A (a) shows a left effect symbol temporary stop state in which the left effect symbol 21L is temporarily stopped and the middle effect symbol 21C and the right effect symbol 21R are in a fluctuating state. Further, FIG. 10A (b) shows a reach state in which the left effect symbol 21L and the right effect symbol 21R are temporarily stopped in the reach mode. Further, FIG. 10A (c) shows a reach loss state in which the left effect symbol 21L, the right effect symbol 21R, and the right effect symbol 21C are temporarily stopped due to the reach loss mode.

First, in the reach state shown in FIG. 10A (b), the first pseudo-continuous development effect as shown in FIG. 10A (d-2) or the second pseudo-continuous development effect as shown in FIG. 10A (d-1). May be executed.

Further, in the left effect symbol stop state shown in FIG. 10A (a), the second pseudo-continuous development effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 10A (d-1).

Further, in the reach loss state shown in FIG. 10A (c), the third pseudo-continuous development effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 10A (d-3).

Then, when the first to third pseudo-continuous development effects are executed, the pseudo 2 variation effect (FIG. 10A (e-1), the pseudo 3 variation effect (FIG. 10A (e-2), or the pseudo 4 variation effect) FIG. 10A (e-2) is executed.

Next, an example of the first pseudo-continuous development effect will be described with reference to FIG. 10B. In the first pseudo-ream development effect, first, as shown in FIG. 10B (a), the first balloon image GS1 in which the line "Pseudo-ream ..." is displayed is displayed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10B (b), the second balloon image GS2 is displayed, which is larger than the first balloon image GS1 and displays the line "Is it a pseudo-ream ...".

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10B (c), the third balloon image GS3 is displayed, which is larger than the second balloon image GS2 and displays the line "Is it a pseudo-ream?". The productions shown in FIGS. 10B (a) to 10B (d) are referred to as the first pseudo-continuous development suggestion production.

Then, when developing into the next pseudo-variation effect, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position as shown in FIG. 10B (d). In addition, the effect image EF1 is displayed in accordance with the movement of the in-panel movable device 26 to the second position. By executing such an effect, the player is notified that it has been confirmed that the next pseudo-variation effect will be developed.

Subsequently, in the case of developing into a pseudo-two-variable effect, an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-two-variable effect is executed as shown in FIG. 10B (e-1). Further, in the case of developing into a pseudo-three-variable effect, as shown in FIG. 10B (e-2), an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-three-variable effect is executed. Further, in the case of developing into a pseudo-four-variable effect, as shown in FIG. 10B (e-3), an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-four-variable effect is executed. It should be noted that the effects of FIGS. 10B (d) to 10B (e-1), the effects of FIGS. 10B (d) to 10B (e-2), and the effects of FIGS. 10B (d) to 10B (e-3). The production is called the first pseudo-ream development confirmation production.

On the other hand, if it does not develop into the next pseudo-variation effect, it will be in a reach state as shown in FIG. 10B (f). In this way, the effect of not executing the first pseudo-continuous development confirmation effect after executing the first pseudo-continuous development suggestion effect is called the first pseudo-continuous development failure effect.

Next, an example of the second pseudo-continuous development effect will be described with reference to FIG. 10C. In the second pseudo-continuous development effect, first, as shown in FIG. 10C (a), the operation promotion image BP1 consisting of an image imitating the first effect operation unit 31a and a gauge image showing the operation validity period is displayed. An effect that urges the player to operate the first effect operation unit 31a is executed. The production of FIGS. 10C (a) to 10C (b) is referred to as a second pseudo-continuous development suggestion production.

Subsequently, in the case of developing into the next pseudo-variation effect, after the player operates the first effect operation unit 31a or after the operation effective time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 10C (b), the player can move in the panel. Move the device 26 to the second position. In addition, the effect image EF1 is displayed in accordance with the movement of the in-panel movable device 26 to the second position. By executing such an effect, the player is notified that it has been confirmed that the next pseudo-variation effect will be developed.

Subsequently, in the case of developing into a pseudo-two-variable effect, an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-two-variable effect is executed as shown in FIG. 10C (c-1). Further, in the case of developing into a pseudo-three-variable effect, an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-three-variable effect is executed as shown in FIG. 10C (c-2). Further, in the case of developing into a pseudo 4-variable effect, as shown in FIG. 10C (c-3), an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-four-variable effect is executed. It should be noted that the effects of FIGS. 10C (b) to 10C (c-1), the effects of FIGS. 10C (b) to 10C (c-2), and the effects of FIGS. 10C (b) to 10C (c-3). The production is called the second pseudo-ream development confirmation production.

On the other hand, if it does not develop into the next pseudo-variation effect, it will be in a reach state as shown in FIG. 10C (d). In this way, the effect of not executing the second pseudo-continuous development confirmation effect after executing the second pseudo-continuous development suggestion effect is called the second pseudo-continuous development failure effect.

Next, an example of the third pseudo-continuous development effect will be described with reference to FIG. 10D. In the third pseudo-ream development effect, as shown in FIG. 10D (a), it is confirmed that the next pseudo-variation effect will be developed by displaying the balloon image GR1 in which the line "It is a pseudo-ream!" Is displayed. Notify the player of what has been done.

Subsequently, in the case of developing into a pseudo-two-variable effect, an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-two-variable effect is executed as shown in FIG. 10D (b-1). Further, in the case of developing into a pseudo-three-variable effect, as shown in FIG. 10D (b-2), an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-three-variable effect is executed. Further, in the case of developing into a pseudo 4-variable effect, as shown in FIG. 10D (b-3), an effect of notifying the development of the pseudo-four-variable effect is executed. When the third pseudo-continuous development effect is executed, it always develops into the next pseudo-variation effect. That is, if it does not develop into the next pseudo-variation effect, the execution of the third pseudo-continuous development effect is restricted (not executed).

[Example of rank-up production]
Next, an example of the rank-up effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11. The rank-up effect is an effect that suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit in a variable display, and is an effect that raises the rank within the range from the initial rank of rank 1 to the maximum rank of rank 5. Further, the rank-up effect includes a rank-up effect (first rank-up effect) executed as a look-ahead effect and a rank-up effect (second rank-up effect) executed as a variable effect.

Regarding ranks 1 to 4, there are cases where the jackpot expectation of the current fluctuation display is suggested as the variable effect, or the jackpot expectation of the variable display from the next time onward is suggested as the look-ahead effect. Further, when the SP2 reach effect is executed in the current variation display (when the variation display according to the variation patterns P130, 131, 170, 171 is executed), the rank is increased to rank 5. On the other hand, if the SP2 reach effect is not executed in this variation display, the rank does not rise to rank 5. Therefore, rank 5 is an effect of notifying the player that the SP2 reach effect, which is an effect with a high expectation of a big hit, is executed.

FIG. 11A shows a rank 1 notification effect for notifying rank 1, which is the initial rank. When it is rank 1, the rank 1 notification image RK1 is displayed.

When the rank 3 confirmation effect is executed, the rank 3 notification effect is executed by displaying the rank 3 notification image RK3 that notifies that the rank is 3.

FIG. 11D shows an effect mode of the rank 4 up effect executed when the rank rises from rank 1, rank 2, or rank 3 to rank 4. In the rank-up suggestion effect, first, the rank-up suggestion effect is executed by displaying the rank-up suggestion image EF2 that suggests that the rank rises.

Subsequently, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position, and is composed of a rank 4 notification image and an effect image for notifying that the in-panel movable device 26 has risen to rank 4 in accordance with the movement to the second position. By displaying the rank 4 confirmed image EF24, the rank 4 confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, if it does not rise to rank 4, the rank 4 confirmation effect is not executed.

When the rank 4 confirmation effect is executed, the rank 4 notification effect is executed by displaying the rank 4 notification image RK4 that notifies that the rank is 4.

FIG. 11 (e) shows an effect mode of the rank 5 up effect executed when the rank rises from rank 1, rank 2, rank 3, or rank 4 to rank 5. In the rank-up suggestion effect, first, the rank-up suggestion effect is executed by displaying the rank-up suggestion image EF2 that suggests that the rank rises.

Subsequently, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position, and is composed of a rank 5 notification image and an effect image for notifying that the in-panel movable device 26 has risen to rank 5 in accordance with the movement to the second position. By displaying the rank 5 confirmed image EF24, the rank 5 confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, if it does not rise to rank 5, the rank 5 confirmation effect is not executed.

When the rank 5 confirmation effect is executed, the rank 5 notification effect is executed by displaying the rank 5 notification image RK5 that notifies that the rank is 5.

In addition, in the rank 5 up effect to rank 5, there is also an effect mode in which the rank up confirmation effect is executed without executing the rank up suggestion effect (the effect 3 in FIG. 24F and FIG. 24G described later, and FIG. An effect mode when a rank 5 up effect is executed in the effect 4 in 24H or I).

Further, an effect in which the rank 2 to 5 final effect is not executed after the rank-up suggestion effect is executed is called a rank-up failure effect.

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 confirms new look-ahead pattern information (S3211).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon effect (S3212). In this process, it is determined whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed in the normal state and whether or not the hold icon effect can be executed in the time saving state, based on the determination ratio defined in the hold icon effect execution decision table shown in FIG.

Here, an example of a table for determining the execution of the hold icon effect will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15A is a table 1 for determining the execution of the hold icon effect used in the normal state, and FIG. 15B is a table 2 for determining the execution of the hold icon effect used in the time saving state.

In the table 1 for determining the execution of the hold icon effect shown in FIG. 15 (a), the determination ratio (allocation of the determination value) as to whether or not to execute the hold icon effect is associated with the look-ahead pattern information in the normal state. .. Further, in the hold icon effect execution decision table 2 shown in FIG. 15B, the determination ratio of whether or not to execute the hold icon effect is associated with the look-ahead pattern information in the normal state.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the hold icon effect (S3213). If 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. 16A to 16D.

Here, an example of a table for determining a hold icon effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 16A to 16D. The hold icon effect determination table is the hold icon effect determination table 1 (FIG. 16A) used in the normal state, the hold icon effect determination table 2 (FIG. 16B), and the hold icon effect determination table 3 (FIG. 16B) used in the time saving state. FIG. 16C) and a table 4 for determining the effect of the hold icon (FIG. 16D).

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, in the case of the look-ahead pattern information indicating that the variation effect of SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the hold icon is "green" or more. However, as an exception, the display mode of the hold icon may be "green" even when the normal reach 1 jackpot variation effect or the normal reach 2 jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed.

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

In the time saving state, basically, 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 "red" or higher even when the jackpot variation effect without reach or the normal reach 3 jackpot variation effect is scheduled to be executed.

When it is decided not to execute the hold icon effect (S3213: NO), the display mode of the hold icon is normally displayed from the time when the start prize is won to the hold 1 (special figure 1 hold 1, special figure 2 hold 1). Display according to the mode. On the other hand, when it is determined to execute the hold icon effect (S3213: YES), it is displayed in a special display mode until hold 1 (special figure 1 hold 1, special figure 2 hold 1).

FIG. 16A 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 the hold icon effect.

In the hold icon effect determination table 1, the hold icon effect patterns PA01 to PA17 and the determination ratio (determination value allocation) of each hold icon effect pattern are associated with each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171). ing. 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.

The first feature of the table 1 for determining the effect of the hold icon is that when the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 3 (special figure 1 hold 4), the special figure 1 hold 3 In (Special Figure 1 Hold 4), the ratio of displaying the hold icon in the normal mode "white" and changing the hold icon to the special mode in Special Figure 1 Hold 2 is higher in Special Figure 1 Hold 3 (Special Figure 1 Hold 4). Alternatively, it is stipulated from the special figure 1 hold 4) that the hold icon is changed to a special mode and displayed at a higher rate. The second feature is that the special figure 1 hold displayed when the start prize is won is the special figure 1 hold 3 (or the special figure 1 hold 4), and the display mode when the special figure 1 hold 1 is the same color. When the hold icon is displayed in the special mode from the special figure 1 hold 3 (or the special figure 1 hold 4), when the hold icon is displayed in the special mode from the special figure 1 hold 2 It is stipulated that the expectation of big hits is higher than that.

FIG. 16B is used to determine the hold icon effect pattern when the new special figure 1 hold in the normal state is special figure 1 hold 1 (hold 1) or special figure 1 hold 2 (hold 2). It is a table 2 for determining a hold icon effect.

In the hold icon effect determination table 2, the hold icon effect patterns PA21 to PA31 and the determination ratio of each hold icon effect pattern are associated with each look-ahead pattern information (Y100 to Y171). 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.

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

FIG. 16C 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 used for.

In the hold icon effect determination table 3, the hold icon effect patterns PA41 to PA49 and the determination ratio of each hold icon effect pattern are associated with each look-ahead pattern information (Y200 to Y280). 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.

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

FIG. 16D 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 the hold icon effect.

In the hold icon effect determination table 4, the hold icon effect patterns PA51 to PA58 and the determination ratio of each hold icon effect pattern are associated with each look-ahead pattern information (Y200 to Y280). 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.

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

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

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the reduced working hours state (S3216). If it is determined that the gaming state is the reduced working hours state, the process proceeds to S3218. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gaming state is not the time saving state (normal state), the process proceeds to S3217.

Subsequently, the first rank-up effect determination process is executed (S3217). The first rank-up effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, other pre-reading effect determination processing is executed (S3218). The other look-ahead effect determination process determines whether or not the hold icon effect, other look-ahead effects other than the first rank-up effect can be executed, the type of the look-ahead effect to be executed, and the contents of each look-ahead effect.

Subsequently, the look-ahead effect data storage process is executed (S3219). In this look-ahead effect data storage process, the hold icon effect, the first rank-up effect, and other effect data for executing the look-ahead effect are stored in the RAM 121b as the look-ahead effect pattern information. When this process is completed, the look-ahead effect determination process is terminated.

[1st rank up production decision processing]
Next, an example of the first rank-up effect determination process executed in S3217 of the pre-reading effect determination process (see FIG. 13) described above will be described with reference to FIG. In this first rank-up production decision process, first. Decide whether or not to execute the first rank-up effect. Then, when it is decided to execute the first rank-up effect, the effect content (first rank-up effect pattern) of the first rank-up effect is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the first rank-up effect determination process, it first determines whether or not the number of reserved storages is two or more (S32171). If it is determined that the number of reserved storages is 2 or more, the process proceeds to S32172. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of reserved memories is less than 2, the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S32171 that the number of reserved storages is 2 or more, it is determined whether or not the look-ahead pattern information is Y111 or more (S32172). If it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information is Y111 or more, the process proceeds to S32173. On the other hand, if it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information is less than Y111, the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S32172 that the look-ahead pattern information is Y111 or more, it is determined whether or not the first rank-up effect is being executed or whether or not the first rank-up effect is scheduled to be executed (S32173). In this process, the first rank-up effect is being executed or the first rank-up effect is scheduled to be executed by checking the look-ahead effect pattern information, the variable effect pattern information, and the like associated with the previous hold storage. Judge whether or not. Then, when it is determined that the first rank-up effect is being executed or the first rank-up effect is scheduled to be executed, the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first rank-up effect is not being executed and there is no plan to execute the first rank-up effect, the process proceeds to S32174.

When it is determined in S32173 that the first rank-up effect is not being executed and the first rank-up effect is not scheduled to be executed, it is determined whether or not the second rank-up effect is being executed (S32174). In this process, it is determined whether or not the second rank-up effect is being executed by checking the variation effect pattern information and the like. Then, when it is determined that the second rank-up effect is being executed, the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second rank-up effect is not being executed, the process proceeds to S32175.

When it is determined in S32174 that the second rank-up effect is not being executed, it is determined whether or not the look-ahead pattern information associated with all the pending storages is Y111 or less (S32175). If it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information associated with all the previous hold storages is Y111 or less, the process proceeds to S32176. On the other hand, when it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information associated with all the previous hold storages is not Y111 or less (the look-ahead pattern information of Y115 or more is stored), the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated.

In S32175, when it is determined that the look-ahead pattern information associated with all the pending storages is Y111 or less, it is determined whether or not the first rank-up effect can be executed (S32176). It should be noted that the feature of the first rank-up effect determination process is that the process of S32171 to S32175 is executed and then the process of determining whether or not the first rank-up effect can be executed is performed. In the process of S32176, whether or not the first rank-up effect can be executed is determined based on the determination ratio specified in the table for determining the execution of the first rank-up effect shown in FIG. If it is determined not to execute the first rank-up effect in this process, the rank before the start of the target change is set to rank 1.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a table for determining execution of the first rank-up effect. In this first rank-up effect execution determination table, a determination ratio (allocation of determination values) as to whether or not to execute the first rank-up effect is associated with the look-ahead pattern information.

The feature of this first rank-up effect execution decision table is that the execution decision ratio of the first rank-up effect increases as the jackpot expectation of the variable display scheduled to be executed increases.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the first rank-up effect (S32177). If it is determined that the first rank-up effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S32178. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first rank-up effect is not executed, the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated.

When it is determined in S32178 that the first rank-up effect is to be executed, the first rank-up effect pattern is determined (S32178). In this process, the first rank-up effect pattern is determined using the first rank-up effect determination table shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B.

(FIG. 19B (b)).

The feature of these first rank-up effect determination tables is that as the jackpot expectation of the fluctuation display scheduled to be executed increases, the first rank-up becomes rank 3 before the start of the target change and rank 4 before the start of the target change. The decision rate of the production pattern is increasing. In addition, although the first rank-up effect pattern that raises the rank up to the target change start rank 4 is specified, the first rank-up effect pattern that raises the rank to the target change start rank 5 is not specified. It is limiting (not raising) the rank to rank 5 before the start of the target change.

The first rank-up effect is a pre-variation effect that is executed before the target variation effect that is the pre-reading target is executed. It is a look-ahead effect that improves the expectation of a big hit. However, since the first rank-up effect, which is a look-ahead effect, and the second rank-up effect, which is a changing effect, are the same effect, is the player currently performing the rank-up effect the first rank-up effect? , It is a production that is difficult to recognize whether it is a second rank-up production.

Further, in the second rank-up effect, the above-mentioned rank-up failure effect may be executed, but in the first rank-up effect, the rank-up failure effect is not executed.

When the pre-variation effect based on the variation pattern P100 is executed, the first rank-up effect is executed at the incidental effect execution time T2, and when the advance variation effect based on the variation pattern P101 is executed, the incidental effect execution time T12 is the first. When one rank-up effect is executed and the pre-variation effect based on the variation pattern P102 is executed, when the first rank-up effect is executed at the incidental effect execution time T22 and the advance variation effect based on the variation pattern P110 is executed, the incidental effect is incidental. The first rank-up effect is executed at the effect execution time T32.

Further, for each first rank-up effect pattern, the rank before the start of the target change, which is referred to in the second rank-up effect determination process described later, is defined.

Next, FIG. 19B (b) shows a first rank-up effect determination used when determining the first rank-up effect pattern when the new special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 2 (hold 2). It is a table 3.

In the first rank-up effect determination table 3, the first rank-up effect patterns RU31 to RU33 and the determination ratio of each first rank-up effect pattern are associated with each look-ahead pattern information (Y111 to Y171). ing. Further, for each first rank-up effect pattern, the effect content of the first rank-up effect to be executed in the variation effect one change before the target variation effect, which is the pre-reading target, is defined. Further, for each first rank-up effect pattern, the rank before the start of the target change, which is referred to in the second rank-up effect determination process described later, is defined.

When the first rank-up effect pattern is determined by the process of S32178, the determined first rank-up effect pattern is set as the first rank-up effect data (S32179).

In this way, when it is determined to execute the first rank-up effect by the first rank-up effect determination process and the first rank-up effect pattern is determined, for example, the first rank-up effect pattern RU03, RU22, or RU31 is used. In some cases, the first rank-up effect shown in the above-mentioned effect example 8 (see FIG. 13H) is executed in the variable effect executed before the target variable effect. Further, for example, in the case of the first rank-up effect pattern RU05 or RU23, the first rank-up effect shown in the effect example 9 (see FIG. 13I) is executed in the variation effect executed before the target variation effect. To.

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

In the second rank-up effect determination table 19, the second rank-up effect patterns UE 142 and UE 143 and each second rank-up effect pattern are used for each variation effect pattern information (EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, EP163). The decision ratio of is associated. In addition, the content of the second rank-up effect is defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up effect content includes the effect content (effect 1) executed at the incidental effect execution time T112, the effect content (effect 2) executed at the incidental effect execution time T116, and the effect executed at the incidental effect execution time T120. The content (effect 3), the effect content to be executed at the incidental effect execution time T124 (effect 4), and the effect content to be executed at the incidental effect execution time T125 (effect 5) are defined.

Therefore, when the variation effect pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the second rank-up effect is determined based on the rank 4 before the start of the target variation, the effect 4 is ranked from rank 4 to rank 4.

It is to notify that it has risen. In addition, in some cases, a second rank-up effect that rises to rank 5 in effect 4 may be executed. It is that. Further, if the rank 4 has already been reached before the execution time of the effect 5, the rank-up failure effect is not executed from the time when the rank 4 is reached to the effect 4.

After determining the second rank-up effect pattern in S3308, it is subsequently determined whether or not the variation pattern information is P120 or more (SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more) (S3309). If it is determined that the fluctuation pattern information is P120 or higher, the process proceeds to S3310. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process proceeds to S3314.

Further, when the pseudo-continuous development effect is executed a plurality of times, the third pseudo-continuous development effect is performed in the multiple pseudo-continuous development effects when the third pseudo-continuous development effect is not executed in the multiple pseudo-continuous development effects. The jackpot expectation may be higher than if it were executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect mode of the rank-up suggestion effect executed when the rank rises to any of ranks 2 to 5 is used as a common mode. However, not limited to this, rank 2 up suggestion effect when suggesting to rise to rank 2, rank 3 up suggestion effect when suggesting to rise to rank 3, and rank when suggesting to rise to rank 4. A rank 5 up suggestion effect may be executed when it is suggested that the player goes up to rank 5 and a rank 5 up suggestion effect. In addition, the rank 5 up suggestion effect is executed only when it is suggested that the rank is increased to rank 5, and when it is suggested that the rank is increased to other ranks, the effect mode of the rank up suggestion effect is set to be a common mode. May be good.

Further, in the first rank-up effect in the present embodiment, when the display mode of the special 1 protection 1 icon displayed based on the previous hold memory is a display mode of "blue" or higher, the execution is restricted. May be good.

Further, in the rank-up effect in the present embodiment, the maximum rank (specific stage) is set to rank 5. However, the maximum rank is not limited to rank 5 (for example, rank 10 may be used). Further, a plurality of maximum ranks (for example, ranks 5 to 7) may be provided. Then, in this case, it is preferable that the jackpot expectation is higher in the order of rank 5 <rank 6 <rank 7.

Further, in the present embodiment, the execution time of the first to third winning effects is set to the same time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any one or all of the first to third winning effects may be executed at different times. By doing so, the player can predict which winning effect will be executed depending on the execution time, so that the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the operation promotion effect for urging the operation of the first effect operation unit 31a is executed in the first to third winning effects, and the player is made to operate the first effect operation unit 31a. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an operation promotion effect for encouraging the operation of the second effect operation unit 31b may be executed in the first to third winning effects, and the player may be made to operate the second effect operation unit 31b. Further, the operation promotion effect for urging the operation of the second effect operation unit 31b may be executed only for the third winning effect, and the player may be made to operate the second effect operation unit 31b. By doing so, the variation of the winning effect is increased, so that the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is improved.
