The player is notified of the number of holdings in FIG. 1, the number of holdings in special figure 2, the number of holdings in normal drawing, etc.).

3. 3. Basic game Next, the basic game of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can execute a special figure game and a normal figure game by using a game ball launched by operating the handle 72k.

3-1. The special figure gaming pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires the right to receive a jackpot judgment when a prize is awarded to the first starting port 11 of the game ball or a prize to the second starting port 12 of the game ball, and the acquired right. The jackpot judgment is made based on. Then, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs variable display of the special figure according to the result of the jackpot determination. The mode of variable display of the special figure (also referred to as “variable display time”) differs depending on the type of variation pattern described later.

The right to receive the jackpot determination is, for example, a random number value, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the jackpot determination based on the acquired random number value. The jackpot determination is to determine whether or not to play a jackpot game, and if a jackpot game is played, a jackpot win is made, and if a small hit game is played, a small hit win is made, and either a big hit game or a small hit game is performed. If it is not done, it will be lost.

When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines a big hit by winning a prize in the first starting port 11 of the gaming ball, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs variable display of the first special figure. The variable display of the first special figure is, for example, a display in which two LEDs in the upper left portion of the display device 8 blink. When the variable display time according to the type of the fluctuation pattern elapses, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the stop display of the first special figure in an manner showing the result of the jackpot determination. As the mode of the stop display of the first special figure, a mode showing a big hit winning (for example, two LEDs in the upper left part are lit) and a mode showing a small hit winning (for example, only one LED in the upper left part is lit). , There is an embodiment showing a loss (for example, only the other LED in the upper left portion is lit).

On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a variable display of the second special figure when the jackpot determination is made by winning a prize in the second starting port 12 of the gaming ball. The variable display of the second special figure is, for example, a display in which the two LEDs at the lower left of the display device 8 blink. When the variable display time according to the type of the fluctuation pattern elapses, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the stop display of the second special figure in an manner showing the result of the jackpot determination. As the mode of the stop display of the second special figure, a mode showing a big hit winning (for example, two LEDs in the lower left are lit) and a mode showing a small hit winning (for example, only one LED in the lower left is lit). , There is an embodiment showing a loss (for example, only the other LED at the lower left is lit).

Further, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 wins a prize in the first starting port 11 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a look-ahead determination, which will be described later, and reserves the right to receive the acquired jackpot determination. Remember as. On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 wins a prize in the second starting port 12 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a look-ahead judgment and stores the right to receive the acquired jackpot judgment as the special figure 2 hold. do. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can store up to a predetermined number of special figure 1 hold and special figure 2 hold (for example, special figure 1 hold is 4 and special figure 2 hold is 4). After the stop display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a big hit determination for the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold. When the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are stored at the same time, the big hit determination for the special figure 2 hold may be given priority, or the big hit judgment for the special figure 1 hold may be performed. It may be performed with priority, or the jackpot determination may be performed in the order in which it is stored.

The look-ahead determination determines in advance whether or not a jackpot game will be performed (whether or not a jackpot will be won in the jackpot determination) before the jackpot determination is performed. The look-ahead is won, and if the jackpot game is not played, the look-ahead is not won. When a plurality of types of variation patterns can be determined, the variation pattern pre-determination for determining the determined variation pattern in advance may be performed in the look-ahead determination.

When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 stores the special figure 1 hold or the special figure 2 hold, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 notifies the player of the number. The special figure 1 hold number is notified by, for example, lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the middle and upper part of the display device 8, and when the special figure 1 hold number is "1", only one LED is turned on and the special figure 1 is held. When 1 hold number is "2", only two LEDs are lit, when special figure 1 hold number is "3", only one LED blinks, and when special figure 1 hold number is "4", only one LED blinks. Only two LEDs flash. On the other hand, the special figure 2 hold number is notified by, for example, lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the middle and lower parts of the display device 8, and when the special figure 2 hold number is "1", only one LED is turned on. When the special figure 2 hold number is "2", only two LEDs are lit, when the special figure 2 hold number is "3", only one LED blinks, and the special figure 2 hold number is "4". Occasionally, only two LEDs will flash.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a jackpot game after stopping and displaying the first special figure or the second special figure in an manner indicating that the jackpot has been won. The jackpot game will be described in detail later, but is a game in which a round game in which the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 is opened is performed a plurality of times (for example, 10 times). The jackpot game is an advantageous game for the player because the opening of the first prize opening 14 or the second prize opening 15 gives the player an opportunity to win a prize (a prize ball opportunity). The jackpot game ends when all of the multiple round games are performed.

On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a small hit game after stopping and displaying the first special figure or the second special figure in an embodiment indicating a small hit winning. The small hit game is a game in which the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), although the details will be described later. The small hit game is an advantageous game for the player because the opening of the first prize opening 14 or the second prize opening 15 gives the player an opportunity to win a prize ball (a prize ball opportunity).

3-2. When the game ball passes through the gate 13, the pachinko / pachinko machine PY1 acquires the right to receive a hit determination, and makes a hit determination based on the acquired right. Then, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs variable display of the normal figure according to the result of the hit determination.

The hit determination is to determine whether or not to perform the auxiliary game, and if the auxiliary game is performed, it is a winning prize, and if the auxiliary game is not performed, it is a loss.

When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a hit determination by winning a prize at the gate 13 of the gaming ball, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a variable display of the normal drawing. The variable display of the normal figure is a display in which a plurality of LEDs in the upper right portion of the display device 8 blink. When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable display of the pachinko game machine PY1, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the stop of the normal figure in a manner showing the result of the hit determination. As a mode of the stop display of the normal figure, there is a mode of showing a winning (for example, all the LEDs are lit) and a mode of showing a loss (for example, only one LED is lit).

Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 stores the right to receive the acquired hit determination as a hold of the normal map when the game ball wins the gate 13 during the variable display of the normal map. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can store up to a predetermined number (for example, 2) of holding a normal drawing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a hit determination for holding the normal map after the stop display of the normal map is displayed.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 notifies the player of the number when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 stores the holding of the normal drawing. The number of reserved figures is notified by lighting of a plurality of LEDs at the lower right of the display device 8, for example, when the number of reserved cells is "1", only one LED is lit and the number of reserved cells is "1". At the time of "2", only two LEDs are lit.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs an auxiliary game after stopping and displaying the normal drawing in an manner indicating winning. The auxiliary game is a game in which the second starting port 12 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 3.5 seconds), although the details will be described later. In the auxiliary game, the opening of the second starting port 12 gives an opportunity to win a prize ball to the second starting port 12 (a prize ball opportunity, an opportunity to acquire the right to receive a big hit judgment). It is a game that is advantageous for those who play.

4. Game state Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3A. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a gaming state that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can take. As shown in FIG. 3A, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a "low probability low base gaming state" (also referred to as a "normal gaming state") and a "low probability high" except for the jackpot gaming state in which the jackpot game is performed. "Base game state" (also called "short-time game state"), "high probability low base game state" (also called "latent probability game state"), and "high probability high base game state" (also called "probability variable game state") It is possible to take any one or more of the four types of gaming states.

The "low probability low base gaming state" is a gaming state in the initial state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can reset the gaming state to the initial state by operating an initialization switch (also referred to as “RAM clear switch”) (not shown) provided on the back surface of the front door 23.

The "low-probability high-based gaming state" is a gaming state that may be taken after the jackpot gaming state, and continues until a predetermined time-saving end condition is satisfied. The predetermined time saving end condition includes that the jackpot game is performed and that the number of variable displays of the special figure reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 200 times).

In addition, the "low-probability high-base gaming state" may be taken even when a specific loss occurs in the jackpot determination in the "low-probability low-base gaming state". For a specific loss, a specific number of losses when all the jackpot judgments of a predetermined specific number of times (for example, 900 times) result in a loss, and a specific ratio of the loss in the jackpot judgment (for example, 1/200). ) Loss and is included. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 is set to the "low probability high base game state" after the end of the variable display of the special figure that has become a specific loss (after the stop display of the special figure). The "low-probability high-base game state" in this case also continues until the predetermined time-saving end condition is satisfied, as in the case of the "low-probability high-base game state" after the jackpot game state.

The "high-probability low-base gaming state" is a gaming state that may be taken after the jackpot gaming state, and continues until a predetermined latent end condition is satisfied. The predetermined latent probability end condition includes that the jackpot game is performed and that the number of variable displays of the special figure reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 200 times). In addition, even if the game ball passes through a specific area provided inside the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 during the big hit game, it becomes a "high probability low base game state". good.

The "high probability high base game state" is a game state that may be taken after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined probability change end condition is satisfied. The predetermined probability change end condition includes that the jackpot game is performed and that the number of variable displays of the special figure reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). In addition, even if the game ball passes through a specific area provided inside the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 during the big hit game, it becomes a "high probability high base game state". good.

The "low probability low base game state" and the "low probability high base game state" belong to the normal probability state in which the probability of winning the big hit in the big hit judgment is the normal probability (for example, 1/300), and the "high probability low base game". The "state" and the "high-probability high-base gaming state" belong to a high-probability state (for example, 1/30) in which the probability of winning a big hit in a big hit determination is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, the "high probability low base game state" and the "high probability high base game state" are more advantageous to the player than the "low probability low base game state" and the "low probability high base game state" in terms of the jackpot winning probability. It can be said that it is in a gaming state.

Further, in the "low-probability low-base gaming state" and the "high-probability low-base gaming state", the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the second starting port 12 (for example, the winning is not won or won in the hit determination). It belongs to the non-time saving state (a state in which it is difficult or a state in which the opening time of the second starting port 12 is relatively short), and the "low probability high base gaming state" and the "high probability high base gaming state" are in the second starting port 12. It belongs to a time-saving state in which a game ball is likely to win a prize (for example, a state in which a winning decision is likely to be won or a state in which the opening time of the second starting port 12 is relatively long). Therefore, regarding the second starting port 12 (with respect to the ease of winning a game ball to the second starting port 12), the "low probability high base game state" and the "high probability high base game state" are "low probability low base". It can be said that the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the "gaming state" and the "high probability low base gaming state".

Since the non-time saving state is a state in which the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the second starting opening 12, the “low probability low base gaming state” and the “high probability low base gaming state” are the second starting opening. It can be said that the game ball is easier to win in the first start opening 11 than in 12, while the time saving state is a state in which the game ball is easier to win in the second start opening 12, so that "low probability high base game". It can be said that the "state" and the "high-probability high-base gaming state" are gaming states in which the game ball is more likely to win a prize in the second starting port 12 than in the first starting port 11.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can change the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state and the high probability state by operating the setting change switch (not shown) provided on the back surface of the front door 23. The setting change switch is, for example, a DIP switch that can be switched to three stages of upper, middle, and lower stages. The setting change switch in the upper row is called "setting 1", the setting change switch in the middle row is called "setting 2", and the setting change switch in the lower row is called "setting 3". In "setting 1", the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is the first probability (for example, 1/300), and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is the second probability (for example, 1/30). Further, "setting 2" is a third probability (for example, 1/280) in which the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is higher than the first probability, and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is higher than the second probability. High fourth probability (eg 1/28). Further, "setting 3" is a fifth probability (for example, 1/260) in which the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is higher than the third probability, and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is higher than the fourth probability. High sixth probability (eg 1/26). The jackpot winning probability can be appropriately changed within a range in which the order of "setting 1" <"setting 2" <"setting 3" increases.

5. Big hit game Next, the big hit game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (B) and 4 (A). As shown in FIG. 3B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is any one of four types of jackpot games: “big hit game Wα”, “big hit game Xα”, “big hit game Yα”, and “big hit game Zα”. It is possible to play one or more types of jackpot games.

The "big hit game Wα" is a big hit game that becomes a "high probability high base game state" after that, and continues until the round game of α times is completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first large winning opening 14 or the second large winning opening 15 in one round game. That is, in the "big hit game Wα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 to 10 times depending on α.

The "big hit game Xα" is a big hit game that becomes a "low probability high base game state" after that, and continues until the round game of α times is completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first large winning opening 14 or the second large winning opening 15 in one round game. That is, in the "big hit game Xα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 to 10 times depending on α.

The "big hit game Yα" is a big hit game that becomes a "high probability low base game state" after that, and continues until the round game of α times is completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first large winning opening 14 or the second large winning opening 15 in one round game. That is, in the "big hit game Yα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 to 10 times depending on α.

The "big hit game Zα" is a big hit game that becomes a "low probability low base game state" after that, and continues until the round game of α times is completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first large winning opening 14 or the second large winning opening 15 in one round game. That is, in the "big hit game Zα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 to 10 times depending on α.

In "Big hit game Wα", "Big hit game Xα", "Big hit game Yα" and "Big hit game Zα", only the first big winning opening 14 may be opened for all round games. However, only the second big winning opening 15 may be opened for all round games, or the first big winning opening 14 may be opened for some round games, and the remaining round games. The second big winning opening 15 may be opened. Both the round game in which the first prize opening 14 is opened and the round game in which the second prize opening 15 is opened are given a chance to win a prize ball (a prize ball opportunity). Therefore, it is an advantageous game for the player.

"Big hit game Wα" and "Big hit game Yα" belong to the so-called probabilistic big hit game in which the game state becomes a high probability state, and "Big hit game Xα" and "Big hit game Zα" belong to the so-called probability state in which the game state becomes a normal probability state. Usually belongs to the jackpot game. Therefore, it can be said that "big hit game Wα" and "big hit game Yα" are jackpot games that are more advantageous to the player than "big hit game Xα" and "big hit game Zα" in terms of the subsequent jackpot winning probability, and "big hit game". The jackpot game state in which either "Wα" or "big hit game Yα" is performed is a gaming state in which the player is more gamed than the jackpot game state in which either "big hit game Xα" or "big hit game Zα" is performed. It can be said that.

In addition, "big hit game Wα" and "big hit game Xα" belong to the so-called big hit game with electric support in which the game state is in a time-saving state, and "big hit game Yα" and "big hit game Zα" are in a non-time-saving state. It belongs to the so-called electric support non-big hit game. Therefore, the "big hit game Wα" and the "big hit game Xα" relate to the subsequent second starting opening 12 (with respect to the ease of winning the game ball to the subsequent second starting opening 12), and the "big hit game Yα" and "big hit game Yα". It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game Zα, and the jackpot game states in which either the “big hit game Wα” or the “big hit game Xα” is performed are the “big hit game Yα” and the “big hit game Zα”. It can be said that it is a game state that is more game-friendly to the player than a jackpot game state in which any of the above is performed.

Here, the flow of the jackpot game will be described. FIG. 4A is a time chart showing the flow of the jackpot game. Here, a jackpot game in which only the first big winning opening 14 is open is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 4A, when the jackpot game starts after the stop display of the special figure, the jackpot opening (also referred to as “big hit OP”) is set first. The jackpot OP continues until a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses, and when the jackpot OP ends, the first round game is started. The round game continues until a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses, or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins in the first large winning opening 14. When the first round game is completed, an interval between rounds (also referred to as "round IT") is set. The round IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and when the round IT ends, the second round game is started. Then, when the final round game (for example, the 10th round game) is completed, the jackpot ending (also referred to as “big hit ED”) is set. The jackpot ED continues until a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses, and one jackpot game ends when the jackpot ED ends. It should be noted that one or both of the jackpot OP and the jackpot ED may not be set.

6. Small hit game Next, the small hit game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (B) and 4 (B). As shown in FIG. 3B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a small hit game as a game different from the big hit game. Unlike the big hit game, the small hit game is a game in which the game state is not changed thereafter. For example, when a small hit game is performed in the "low probability low base game state", the "low probability low base game state" continues even after the small hit game. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first large winning opening 14 or the second large winning opening 15 in the small hit game.

FIG. 4B is a time chart showing the flow of the small hit game. Here, a small hit game in which only the first large winning opening 14 is open is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the small hit game starts after the stop display of the special figure, the pre-opening interval (also referred to as “pre-opening IT”) is first set. The pre-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and when the pre-opening IT ends, the first large winning opening 14 is opened. The opening of the first large winning opening 14 continues until a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses, or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls win the first large winning opening 14. When the opening of the first large winning opening 14 is completed, the post-opening interval (also referred to as “post-opening IT”) is set. The post-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and one small hit game is completed by the end of the post-opening IT. It should be noted that either one or both of the pre-opening IT and the post-opening IT may not be set. Further, in consideration of the playability of the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the small hit game may not be performed.

7. Auxiliary game Next, the auxiliary game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (B) and 4 (C). As shown in FIG. 3B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform an auxiliary game as a game different from the big hit game and the small hit game. The auxiliary game is a game in which the second starting port 12 is opened, unlike the big hit game and the small hit game. In the auxiliary game, the opening time of the second starting port 12 changes according to the game state. For example, when the auxiliary game is performed in a non-time saving state, only the first opening time (for example, 0.1 second) is the second. 2 While the starting port 12 is opened, when the auxiliary game is performed in a short time state, the second starting port 12 is opened for a second opening time (for example, 3.5 seconds) longer than the first opening time. ..

FIG. 4C is a time chart showing the flow of the auxiliary game. As shown in FIG. 4C, when the auxiliary game starts after the stop display in the normal drawing, the second starting port 12 opens. The second starting port 12 is opened until a predetermined time (first opening time in the non-time saving state, second opening time in the time saving state) elapses, or a predetermined number (for example, 4 pieces). It continues until the game ball wins the second starting port 12. When the opening of the second starting port 12 is completed, the post-opening interval (also referred to as “post-opening IT”) is set. The post-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and one auxiliary game is completed by the end of the post-opening IT.

8. Direction Next, the effect performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set different production modes according to the gaming state. In each effect mode, the pachinko game machine PY1 includes various effect devices (normal button 40, special button 41, image display device 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, board movable body) provided in the pachinko game machine PY1. 55k, frame movable body 58k, etc.) can be used to perform the following effects.

8-1. Production mode First, the production mode will be described with reference to FIG. The staging mode is a division of staging (or a higher-level conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability variation effect mode, a time saving effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as the effect mode.

In the customer waiting effect mode, the stop display of the special figure is performed in the "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state" and "high probability high base game state". This is an effect mode that may be set when the special figure is not displayed (when the variable display of the special figure is not performed). In the customer waiting effect mode, it is suggested to the player that the variable display of the special figure is waiting. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a customer waiting effect while the customer waiting effect mode is set. As shown in FIG. 5A, the customer waiting effect is an effect in which the customer waiting demo video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 sets the setting related to the production of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 as shown in FIG. 5A-2 when, for example, the normal button 40 is operated while the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displaying the customer waiting demo video G100. The setting screen G101 for performing may be displayed on the display unit 50a. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 enables settings related to the production of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 while the setting screen G101 is being displayed. The settings related to the effect include volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, brightness setting of the display unit 50a (also referred to as “light amount setting”), frequency setting of the effect to be executed (also referred to as “effect setting”), and the like.

The normal effect mode is an effect mode that may be set over the variable display of the special figure once or a plurality of times in the “low probability low base game state” or the “high probability low base game state”. In the normal staging mode, the player is suggested to be in a non-time saving state. In the normal effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays, for example, a normal background image G102 of a background representing a mountain landscape on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 5 (B-1). The background displayed in the normal effect mode is not limited to the normal background image G102, and a plurality of types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or randomly.

The probability variation effect mode is an effect mode that may be set over the variable display of the special figure once or a plurality of times in the “high probability high base game state”. In the probabilistic effect mode, the player is suggested to be in a high probability state and a time saving state. In the probabilistic effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays, for example, a probabilistic background image G103 of a background representing the universe on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 5 (B-2). The background displayed in the probabilistic effect mode is not limited to the probabilistic background image G103, and a plurality of types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or randomly.

The time-saving effect mode is an effect mode that may be set over the variable display of the special figure once or a plurality of times in the “low probability high base game state”. In the time saving effect mode, the player is suggested to be in the normal probability state and the time saving state. In the time-saving effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays, for example, a time-saving background image G104 of a background representing the sky on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 5 (B-3). The background displayed in the time saving effect mode is not limited to the time saving background image G104, and a plurality of types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or randomly.

The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode set in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot effect mode, the player is suggested that the jackpot game is being executed. In the jackpot effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has an opening image G107 suggesting the start of the jackpot game, right-handed to prompt "right-handed", as shown in FIG. 5 (C-1), at the start of the jackpot game. The image G108 or the like is displayed on the display unit 50a. The display of these images is called "opening effect".

Further, in the jackpot effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a round image G109 or the like indicating the number of rounds on the display unit 50a during the round game, as shown in FIG. 5 (C-2), and then displays a high value. When the probability state is reached, the promotion image G110 suggesting that the probability state is reached is displayed on the display unit 50a. The display of these images is called "round effect".

Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has an ending image G111, which suggests an effect mode set after the jackpot effect mode as shown in FIG. 5 (C-3) at the end of the jackpot effect mode in the jackpot effect mode. The display unit 50a displays the total prize ball number image G112 or the like suggesting the total prize ball number paid out. The display of these images is called "ending effect".

In the basic embodiment, five types of staging modes, a customer waiting staging mode, a normal staging mode, a probabilistic staging mode, a time saving staging mode, and a jackpot staging mode, are set. May be changed or added.

8-2. Special figure variation effect Next, the special map variation effect (also referred to as “variation effect”) will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. The special figure variation effect is an effect for suggesting the result of the jackpot determination. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes the special figure variation effect using the effect symbol in parallel with the variable display of the special figure. As shown in FIG. 6A, the staging symbol is composed of the left staging symbol EZ1, the middle staging symbol EZ2, and the right staging symbol EZ3.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 variablely displays the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 on the background (normal background image G102, probability variation background image G103, and time-saving background image G104) in the special figure variation effect. In addition, "↓" in the figure indicates that the staging symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. The staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are, for example, composed of numerical symbols of "1" to "9", respectively. EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 fluctuate, and the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop along with the stop display of the special figure. Then, the result of the jackpot determination is suggested by the mode of the stop display of the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

8-2-1. Normal variation The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can first perform normal variation in the special figure variation effect. The normal variation is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed in a variable manner, and functions as an effect suggesting that the variable display of the special symbol has started.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the variation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 in the normal variation as shown in FIG. 6B. Then, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is lost without causing reach after the normal fluctuation, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different from each other as shown in FIG. 6 (C-1). After stopping, as shown in 6 (D), the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting loss (so-called loose stitches). The mode suggesting the loss is a mode in which the left and right staging symbols are not the same, such as “1 ・ 1 ・ 2” and “2 ・ 4 ・ 6”. On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 generates reach after a normal fluctuation, as shown in FIG. 6 (C-2), the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 have the same mode (so-called reach eyes). Stop display and establish reach. The stop order of the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

8-2-2. The N-reach pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N-reach after the reach is established. The N reach is, for example, a reach effect in which the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually decelerates, and functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 gradually reduces the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 in N reach, as shown in FIG. 7 (A). Then, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is lost in N reach, as shown in FIG. 7B, the middle effect symbol EZ2 is stopped, and the effect symbol EZ1 is in a mode suggesting reach loss (so-called reach loss eye). , EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. The mode suggesting reach loss is a mode in which the left and right staging symbols are the same and the inside symbol is different from the left and right staging symbols, such as "7, 6, 7" and "5, 3, 5". On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 does not stop the middle effect symbol EZ2 when it is developed into SP reach after N reach. The content of the N reach effect can be changed as appropriate.

8-2-3. SP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is, for example, a reach effect in which a battle between the main character and an enemy character is displayed, and functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game is likely to be performed.

In the SP reach, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the SP title image G1 indicating the start of the SP reach on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 8 (A). In the SP title image G1, for example, "Destroy the enemy A!" Is also a character image. After that, as shown in FIG. 8B, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays the hero character image G200 representing the hero character and the enemy character image G201 representing the enemy character on the display unit 50a, and displays the hero character and the enemy. The moving image in which the character battles is displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, when the final phase of the battle is reached, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a big hit in SP reach, the main character enters the battle as shown in FIG. 8 (C-1), as shown in FIG. 8 (C-1). In addition to displaying the appearance of being happy to win, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big hit (so-called doublet). In addition, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 loses in SP reach, as shown in FIG. 8 (C-2), as shown in FIG. 8 (C-2), the enemy character wins the battle and is pleased to suggest the loss. In addition to displaying, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting reach loss. On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 does not stop the middle effect symbol EZ2 when developing into SPSP reach after this SP reach. The content of the SP reach can be changed as appropriate.

8-2-4. SPSP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SPSP reach after SP reach. The SPSP reach is, for example, a reach effect in which a battle between a main character and a strong enemy character is displayed, and functions as an effect suggesting that a big hit game is likely to be performed.

In the SPSP reach, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the SPSP title image G2 indicating the start of the SPSP reach on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 9A. The SPSP title image G2 is, for example, a character image of "Destroy the enemy B!". After that, as shown in FIG. 9B, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays the main character image G200 representing the main character and the strong enemy character image G202 representing the strong enemy character on the display unit 50a, and displays the main character and the strong enemy. The moving image in which the character battles is displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, when the final phase of the battle is reached, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a big hit in SPSP reach, as shown in FIG. 9 (C-1), the main character enters the battle as if to suggest a big hit. In addition to displaying the appearance of being happy to win, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big hit (so-called doublet). On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 loses in SPSP reach, as shown in FIG. 9 (C-2), as shown in FIG. 9 (C-2), a strong enemy character wins the battle and is pleased to suggest the loss. In addition to displaying, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting reach loss. The content of the SPSP reach can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the possibility that the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop in a manner indicating a big hit (also referred to as “big hit expectation”) will be described. The jackpot expectation is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot determination. For example, if the execution probability of N reach is set to 10% when the result of the jackpot judgment is lost, and when the result of the jackpot judgment is set to 100% when the jackpot is won, the execution probability of SP reach is set. Is set to 4% when the result of the jackpot judgment is lost, while when the result of the jackpot judgment is set to 100% when the jackpot is won, the jackpot expectation for SP reach and the jackpot expectation for N reach are set. Can be higher than.

Further, for example, when the execution probability of SP reach is set to 4% when the result of the jackpot determination is lost, and when the result of the jackpot determination is set to 100% when the jackpot is won, the SPSP reach If the execution probability is set to 2% if the result of the jackpot judgment is lost, while if the result of the jackpot judgment is set to 100% if the jackpot is won, the jackpot expectation for SPSP reach is set to the jackpot for SP reach. It can be higher than expected. In this way, by presetting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination for the feasible effect, the jackpot expectation degree for the effect can be determined.

8-3. The hold icon and the icon pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the hold icon HA on the display unit 50a while the special figure 1 hold or the special figure 2 hold is stored. The hold icon HA is, for example, an icon image of “◯”. Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the icon TA on the display unit 50a during the variable display of the special figure. The icon TA is, for example, an icon image of “◯” which is the same as the hold icon HA.

A hold icon display area 50d is installed at the lower part of the display unit 50a. As shown in FIG. 10A, the hold icon display area 50d is composed of a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3, and a fourth display area 50d4. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the hold icon HA in each display area 50d1, 50d2, 50d3, 50d4 according to the number of special figure 1 hold or the number of special figure 2 hold. For example, when the special figure 1 hold number is "1", the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special figure 1 hold number is "2", the first display area 50d1 and the first display area 50d1. 2 The hold icon HA is displayed in the display area 50d2. In the hold icon display area 50d, both the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number may be displayed, or only one of the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number is displayed. It may be done. Further, the number of display areas constituting the hold icon display area 50d can be appropriately changed.

Further, the icon display area 50e is installed in the lower part of the display unit 50a in the vicinity of the hold icon display area 50d. As shown in FIG. 10A, the icon display area 50e is composed of the icon display area 50e including one display area. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the variable display of the special figure, the icon TA that is the same as or different from the hold icon HA is displayed in the icon display area 50e. In consideration of the playability of the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the icon TA may not be displayed.

8-3-1. Hold effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a hold effect according to the game ball winning a prize in the first start port 11 or the second start port 12. The hold effect is, for example, an effect in which the hold icon HA is displayed in the hold icon display area 50d, and functions as an effect for notifying the player of the number of special figure 1 hold or special figure 2 hold.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the special figure is not variablely displayed, and when the special figure 1 hold number is "0" and the game ball wins the first starting port 11, as shown in FIG. 10 (B). The icon TA is displayed in the icon display area 50e. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, for example, when two gaming balls win a prize in the first starting port 11 during the variable display of the special figure, as shown in FIG. 10C, the first of the hold icon display areas 50d. The hold icon HA is displayed in the display area 50d1 and the second display area 50d2, and the player is notified that the special figure 1 hold number is “2”. Further, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the variable display of a new special figure when the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1 and the second display area 50d2 of the hold icon display area 50d, the figure is shown. As shown in 10 (D), the hold icon HA of the first display area 50d1 of the hold icon display area 50d is moved to the icon display area 50e and displayed as the icon TA, and the hold icon display area 50d is displayed as the icon TA. 2 The hold icon HA of the display area 50d2 is moved to the first display area 50d1 and displayed, and the player is notified that the number of hold icons in the special figure 1 is “1”.

8-4. Notice effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a notice effect at any timing in the special figure variation effect. The notice effect is an effect in which the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable body on the board 55k, the movable frame 58k, the normal button 40, the special button 41, etc. are used, and the big hit game is performed. It functions as a production that suggests the possibility of being damaged.

8-4-1. Movable body effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a movable body effect using a board movable body 55k or a frame movable body 58k as a notice effect. The movable body effect is, for example, an effect in which the on-board movable body 55k and the frame movable body 58k operate.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a movable body effect at an arbitrary timing (for example, a timing of developing from N reach to SP reach) in the special figure variation effect. Here, a movable body effect using the on-board movable body 55k is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 11A, the movable body effect is an effect in which the movable body 55k on the board moves onto the display unit 50a. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the effect image G4 in a space that does not overlap with the on-board movable body 55k of the display unit 50a in the movable body effect. After the movable body effect, as shown in FIG. 11B, the on-board movable body 55k returns to the normal standby state (initial position), and the effect is developed. FIG. 11B shows a case where SPSP reach has been developed. The movement of the movable body 55k on the board in the movable body effect can be changed as appropriate.

8-4-2. Operation effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform an operation effect using the normal button 40 or the special button 41 as a notice effect. The operation effect is, for example, an effect in which the player operates the normal button 40 or the special button 41.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs an operation effect at an arbitrary timing (for example, during SP reach) in the special figure variation effect. Here, an operation effect using the normal button 40 is illustrated. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 generates a period during which the normal button 40 pressing operation is valid (referred to as a “button operation valid period”) in the operation effect, and with the occurrence of this button operation valid period, FIG. 12 (A) shows. As shown, an effect of urging the operation of the normal button 40 (referred to as "button operation promotion effect") is performed. In the button operation promotion effect, the button operation promotion image G3 is displayed, and the button operation promotion image G3 is a normal button image G31 imitating a normal button 40 and a pressing operation representing an operation mode (that is, a pressing operation) of the normal button 40. It is composed of an image G32 (here, a character image of "press") and an operation valid period remaining time image G33 representing the remaining time of the button operation valid period. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown in the figure after the button operation valid period elapses in response to the normal button 40 being pressed during the button operation valid period or without the normal button 40 being operated during the button operation valid period.

The main control unit 100 and the effect control unit 120 are electrically connected, and the effect control unit 120 mainly executes the effect according to the instructions of the main control unit 100.

9-1. Main control unit The main control unit 100 includes a game control microcomputer 101. The game control microcomputer 101 is configured to include, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and mainly controls various games (special figure game, normal figure game, game state, prize ball payout, etc.). Further, the game control microcomputer 101 includes a game input unit 101a, a game output unit 101b, and a game storage unit 101c. The game input unit 101a is a winning device provided in the game board 1 (first starting port 11, second starting port 12, gate 13, first large winning opening 14, second large winning opening 15, general winning opening 10, etc.). Enter the winning information of the game ball from, the operation information of the initialization switch, the operation information of the setting change switch, and the like. The game output unit 101b outputs the effect data and the effect command generated in response to the control of the game to the outside of the effect control unit 120 and the pachinko gaming machine PY1. The game storage unit 101c is composed of, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory), a table for selecting game contents, and game data generated according to the control of the game (Special Figure 1 Hold). , Special figure 2 hold, normal figure hold, etc.) are memorized.

The various games are mainly controlled based on the winning information and the operation information input by the game input unit 101a. The game control microcomputer 101 controls various games by using the table and game data stored in the game storage unit 101c.

9-2. The table game control microcomputer 101 can make various selections in controlling the game. At the time of selection, the table stored in the game storage unit 101c is referred to. The table shown below is stored in the game storage unit 101c.

9-2-1. Fluctuation pattern determination table The variation pattern determination table 103a1 shown in FIG. 14 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The variation pattern determination table 103a1 is a table referred to when selecting the type of variation pattern. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of the variation pattern by referring to the variation pattern determination table 103a1 when performing the variable display of the first special figure or the second special figure based on the result of the jackpot determination.

As shown in FIG. 14, the game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of variation pattern based on the game state, the type of starting port, the result of the jackpot determination, the result of the reach determination, the number of reserved special figures, and the like. The reach determination is to determine whether or not to perform the above-mentioned reach effect (N reach, SP reach, SPSP reach) during the variable display of the special figure, and if the reach effect is to be performed, it is assumed that there is reach. , If the reach production is not performed, there is no reach. The game control microcomputer 101 may select any one of seven types of fluctuation patterns, "THP001" to "THP002", "THP011" to "THP013", and "THP021" to "THP022", as the fluctuation pattern. It is possible. The game control microcomputer 101 performs variable display of the first special figure or the second special figure in a variable display mode (variable display time) according to the selected fluctuation pattern. The type of fluctuation pattern can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the role of each fluctuation pattern will be described. As described above, during the variable display of the special map, the special map variation effect is performed. In the special figure variation effect, an effect flow composed of one or more effects is executed, and each variation pattern is associated with the variable display time of the special figure and the effect flow executed in the special figure variation effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, in "THP001" and "THP011", the variable display time of the special figure is 120,000 ms, and "normal fluctuation"-> "reach"-> "N reach"-> "SP reach"-> " Corresponding to the staging flow composed of "SPSP reach", "THP002" and "THP012" have a variable display time of 100,000 ms for the special figure, and "normal fluctuation"-> "reach"-> "N reach"-> "N reach". Corresponding to the staging flow composed of "SP reach", "THP013" has a variable display time of 20000 ms and is composed of "normal fluctuation"-> "reach"-> "N reach". "THP021" and "THP022" are associated with an effect flow in which the variable display time of the special figure is 13000 ms or 2000 ms and is composed only of "normal fluctuation". As described above, the time of the special figure variation effect and the effect executed by the special figure variation effect are different depending on the type of the variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101.

"THP001" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is the jackpot winning, and since the end of the production flow is "SPSP reach", "THP001" is referred to as "SPSP jackpot fluctuation". Further, "THP002" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is the jackpot winning, and since the end of the production flow is "SP reach", "THP002" is referred to as "SP jackpot fluctuation". Further, "THP011" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and since the end of the staging flow is "SPSP reach", "THP011" is referred to as "SPSP loss fluctuation". Further, "THP012" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and since the end of the staging flow is "SP reach", "THP012" is referred to as "SP loss fluctuation". Further, "THP013" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and since the end of the production flow is "N reach", "THP013" is referred to as "N loss fluctuation". Further, "THP021" and "THP022" are selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and since the end of the staging flow is "normal fluctuation", "THP021" and "THP022" are referred to as "normal loss fluctuation". .. The selection ratio of the fluctuation pattern can be appropriately set in consideration of the playability of the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

9-2-2. Look-ahead determination table The look-ahead determination table 103b1 shown in FIG. 15 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The look-ahead determination table 103b1 is a table that is referred to when selecting the type of look-ahead pattern. When the right to receive the jackpot determination is acquired, the game control microcomputer 101 refers to the look-ahead determination table 103b1 and selects the type of the look-ahead pattern. The figure shown in FIG. 15 is a look-ahead determination table 103b1.

As shown in FIG. 15, the game control microcomputer 101 selects a look-ahead pattern type based on a game state, a start opening type, a look-ahead determination result, and the like. The game control microcomputer 101 can select any one of the three types of look-ahead patterns "SHP001" to "SHP003" as the look-ahead pattern. The type of look-ahead pattern can be changed as appropriate.

Since "SHP001" is selected when the result of the look-ahead determination is a look-ahead winning, "SHP001" is referred to as a "big hit look-ahead pattern". Further, "SHP002" is selected when the pre-reading determination result is not pre-reading, and the variation pattern pre-determination result is a variation pattern with reach ("THP011" to "THP013"), so "SHP002" is used. It is called "reach loss look-ahead pattern". Further, "SHP003" is selected when the result of the look-ahead determination is a non-winning look-ahead, and the result of the variation pattern pre-determination is a variation pattern without reach ("THP021" to "THP022"). It is called "normal loss look-ahead pattern".

9-2-3. The symbol determination table 103c1 shown in FIG. 16 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The symbol determination table 103c1 is a table referred to when selecting the type of the stop symbol of the first special figure and the second special figure. When the jackpot determination is made, the game control microcomputer 101 refers to the symbol determination table 103c1 and selects the type of the stop symbol of the first special figure and the second special figure. The figure shown in FIG. 16 is a symbol determination table 103c1.

As shown in FIG. 16, the game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of the stop symbol of the first special figure and the second special figure based on the type of the starting port, the result of the jackpot determination, and the like. The game control microcomputer 101 has, as the types of stop symbols, "big hit Wα symbol", "big hit Xα symbol", "big hit Yα symbol", "big hit Zα symbol", "small hit symbol", "missing A symbol", "" It is possible to select any one of the seven types of stop symbols of "Loss B symbol". The game control microcomputer 101 displays the stop of the first special figure or the second special figure in an manner corresponding to the selected stop symbol. The type of stop symbol can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the role of each stop symbol will be described. As mentioned above, after the stop display of the special figure, there are times when the big hit game is performed, when the small hit game is performed, when the time is shortened, and when nothing is done and the game is lost. .. There are four types of jackpot games ("big hit game Wα", "big hit game Xα", "big hit game Yα", "big hit game Zα"), one type of small hit game, and two types of loss. Although there is (the above-mentioned specific loss, mere loss), each stop symbol is associated with the type of the big hit game, the type of the small hit game, and the type of the loss. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the "big hit Wα symbol" is associated with the "big hit game Wα", the "big hit Xα symbol" is associated with the "big hit game Xα", and the "big hit Yα symbol" is associated with the "big hit game". "Yα" is associated, "big hit Zα symbol" is associated with "big hit game Zα", "small hit symbol" is associated with small hit game, and "missing A symbol" is simply lost. The "missing B symbol" is associated with the time saving state. In this way, the type of the big hit game to be executed, the type of the small hit game, and the type of loss (whether or not to shorten the time) are different according to the type of the stop symbol selected by the game control microcomputer 101. ..

Since the "big hit Wα symbol" and the "big hit Yα symbol" are selected when the jackpot game that becomes a high probability state is performed after that, the "big hit Wα symbol" and the "big hit Yα symbol" are referred to as "probability variation symbols". There is. Further, since the "big hit Xα symbol" and the "big hit Zα symbol" are determined when the jackpot game that becomes the normal probability state is performed after that, the "big hit Xα symbol" and the "big hit Zα symbol" are referred to as "normal symbols". There is something like that. Further, since the "lost A symbol" is determined in the case of a mere loss in which nothing is performed after that, the "lost A symbol" may be referred to as a "normal lost symbol". Further, since the "missing B symbol" is determined in the case of a specific loss in which the time is shortened after that, the "missing B symbol" may be referred to as a "missing time saving symbol". The selection ratio of the stop symbol can be appropriately set in consideration of the playability of the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

In this first movable body effect, three movable bodies (board left movable body 57L, underboard movable body 57C, and board right movable body 57R) move from the standby position to the operating position at the same time, and the first stop period (specifically). After stopping at the operating position (for 5 seconds), it moves from the operating position to the standby position. In this way, the first movable body effect is such that three movable bodies (board left movable body 57L, underboard movable body 57C, and board right movable body 57R) move one round trip between the standby position and the operating position. It has become.

Further, in the first movable body effect, when three movable bodies (board left movable body 57L, underboard movable body 57C and board right movable body 57R) are stopped at the operating position, the board left movable body 57L is on. The three light emitting parts arranged at the visible positions of the above, the five light emitting parts on the underboard movable body 57C, and the three light emitting parts on the right side movable body 57R of the board emit light.

In the present embodiment, the first movable body effect can be executed after N reach and before SP reach. When the first movable body effect is performed before the SP reach, the player's attention tends to be focused on the display unit 50a. Therefore, it is possible to continue to pay attention to the player in the subsequent execution of the SP reach on the display unit 50a.

Next, the second movable body production of the development production will be described. This second movable body effect is an effect using the on-board movable body 55k arranged on the game board 1 shown in FIG. The on-board movable body 55k can move between two positions (standby position and operating position). The standby position is the position of the on-board movable body 55k shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 and FIG. 19 (A), and the on-board movable body when the lower end of the on-board movable body 55k is directly above the upper end of the display unit 50a. It is at the position of 55k. On the other hand, the operating position is the position of the on-board movable body 55k shown in FIG. 19B, and the position of the on-board movable body 55k when the on-board movable body 55k overlaps the lower portion of the display portion 50a. Is. Specifically, it is the position of the on-board movable body 55k when the lower end of the on-board movable body 55k descends downward by the first distance D1 (specifically, 18 cm) from the upper end of the display unit 50a (FIG. 19 (FIG. 19). B) See).

In the second movable body effect in the development effect, the movable body 55k on the board moves (descends) from the standby position to the operating position, stops at the operating position during the second stop period (specifically, 3 seconds), and then stops at the operating position. Moves (ascends) to the standby position. As described above, the second movable body effect is such that the movable body 55k on the board moves back and forth between the standby position and the operating position once.

Further, in the second movable body effect, when the on-board movable body 55k after movement is stopped at the operating position, the first light emitting unit 56A, the second light emitting unit 56A, which is arranged at a visible position on the on-board movable body 55k. The light emitting unit 56B, the third light emitting unit 56C, and the fourth light emitting unit 56D emit light. Specifically, when the on-board movable body 55k is in the standby position, any of the first light emitting unit 56A, the second light emitting unit 56B, the third light emitting unit 56C, and the fourth light emitting unit 56D on the on-board movable body 55k. Is also off. Therefore, in that case, nothing is displayed on the first light emitting unit 56A, the second light emitting unit 56B, the third light emitting unit 56C, and the fourth light emitting unit 56D. On the other hand, when the movable body 55k on the board is stopped at the operating position, the first light emitting unit 56A, the second light emitting unit 56B, the third light emitting unit 56C, and the fourth light emitting unit 56D all emit light in the lighting mode. do. As shown in FIG. 19C, the letter “L” is displayed in a lighting mode on the first light emitting unit 56A when the movable body 55k on the board is stopped at the operating position. Similarly, when the movable body 55k on the board is stopped at the operating position, the second light emitting unit 56B has the character "O", the third light emitting unit 56C has the character "L", and the fourth light emitting unit 56D. The letter "O" is displayed in the lighting mode. Thus, when the on-board movable body 55k is stopped at the operating position, the name of "LOLO", which is the staging motif (hero) of the pachinko gaming machine PY1, is displayed on the on-board movable body 55k. To.

Further, when the on-board movable body 55k moves (descends) from the standby position to the operating position during the execution of the second movable body effect, the on-board movable body 55k moves at the first moving speed V1. In the present embodiment, the on-board movable body 55k moves from the standby position to the operating position (specifically, the first distance D1 is moved), but the first movement time T1 (specifically, 1.0 second). Requires. Therefore, the first moving speed V1 is a quotient (0.18 m / s) obtained by dividing the first distance D1 by the first moving time T1.

On the other hand, when the on-board movable body 55k moves (ascends) from the operating position to the standby position during the execution of the second movable body effect, the on-board movable body 55k moves at the second moving speed V2. In the present embodiment, the on-board movable body 55k moves from the operating position to the standby position (specifically, the first distance D1 is moved), but the second movement time T2 (specifically, 3.0 seconds). Requires. Therefore, the second moving speed V2 is a quotient (0.06 m / s) obtained by dividing the first distance D1 by the second moving time T2.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the first moving speed V1 is faster than the second moving speed V2 (V1> V2), and the operation is performed from the standby position rather than moving (rising) from the operating position to the standby position. The movable body 55k on the board moves faster when it moves to the position.

Next, the image production of the development production will be described. In this image production, the character image G120 shown in FIG. 19B is used. This character image G120 is a three-dimensional photographed image of a highly three-dimensional, gold-free model that imitates the head of "LOLO", which is the production motif (hero) of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Consists of.

As described above, a plurality of movable bodies are arranged around the display unit 50a of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Specifically, the board left movable body 57L is on the left side of the display unit 50a, the underboard movable body 57C is on the lower side of the display unit 50a, and the board right movable body 57R is on the right side of the display unit 50a. It is located on the back side of. Therefore, in order to make a movable body thick in the depth direction appear in front of the display unit 50a that easily attracts the attention of the player, it is difficult to provide a standby position for the movable body around the display unit 50a. This is because, for example, there is a risk of collision or interference with existing movable bodies 57L, 57C, 57R. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a character image G120 composed of a three-dimensional photographed image is used without mounting a movable body imitating the head of "LOLO" on the gaming board 1.

The three-dimensional photographed image can be displayed on the display unit 50a based on the three-dimensional photographed image data stored in the effect storage unit (specifically, CGROM or the like) 121b of the effect control unit 120. As shown in FIG. 20, for example, the three-dimensional photographed image data is a still image of a non-mounted model (modeled object) using a 3D camera 301 against a background of a green screen 300 in a room where a predetermined lighting device 303 is lit. This is the data generated by taking a picture with the camera and appropriately performing chroma key composition on the still image.

The character image G120 is composed of two images (left image G120L and right image G120R). The left image G120L is composed of a partial image corresponding to the left half, which is divided (divided into two) at the center in the left-right direction of the three-dimensional photographed image of the non-mounted model, and the right image G120R is composed of a partial image corresponding to the right half. ..

The image effect is an effect in which the left image G120L and the right image G120R described above move on the display unit 50a, and the left image G120L and the right image G120R are integrated on the display unit 50a to complete the character image G120. Specifically, with the start of execution of the development effect, the right edge of the left image G120L appears from the left end of the display unit 50a, and the left edge of the right image G120R appears from the right end of the display unit 50. Then, as shown in FIG. 21A, the left image G120L appearing from the left end of the display unit 50a moves to the right toward the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a with its right edge at the head. Along with this movement, the left image G120L gradually appears on the display unit 50a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21A, the right image G120R appearing from the right end of the display unit 50a also moves to the left toward the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a with the left edge of the right image G120R at the beginning. do. Along with this movement, the right image G120R gradually appears on the display unit 50a.

By the above movement, the right end of the left image G120L and the left end of the right image G120R reach the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a, respectively, and the right end of the left image G120L and the left end of the right image G120R are adjacent to each other. Then, the left image G120L and the right image G120R are integrated at the center of the display unit 50a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21B, the guarantee image G120 is completed at the center of the display unit 50a. The position of the left image G120L at this time is defined as the first display position, and the position of the right image G120R is defined as the second display position.

During the execution of the image effect, both the left image G120L and the right image G120R move at the third moving speed V3. In the present embodiment, the distance from the left end of the display unit 50a visible to the player to the center in the left-right direction and the distance from the right end of the display unit 50a to the center in the left-right direction are both the second distance D2 (specifically, the distance D2 (specifically). It is 15 cm). Further, the left image G120L and the right image G120R appear in the display unit 50a and then move to the center position of the display unit 50a (specifically, move the second distance D2) in a third movement time T3 (specifically). It takes 0.1 seconds). Therefore, the third moving speed V3 of the left image G120L and the right image G120R is a quotient (1.5 m / s) obtained by dividing the second distance D2 by the third moving time T3.

The third moving speed V3 is faster than the first moving speed V1 and the second moving speed V2 of the on-board movable body 55k in the second moving body effect (V3> V1, V2).

A drive motor (not shown) is used to drive the on-board movable body 55k of the present embodiment. Therefore, the moving speed (first moving speed V1, second moving speed V2) when the movable body 55k on the board is driven is a speed allowed by the performance of the driving motor. If the first moving speed V1 and the second moving speed V2 are the fastest ones that the performance of the drive motor allows, there is a problem in executing the second movable body effect using the on-board movable body 55k. It may occur. Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, in view of the weight of the movable body 55k on the board, the size of the first movement distance D1, the ability of the drive mechanism to stop at the operating position (or the standby position) after the movement, and the like, the first movement is performed. The speed V1 and the second moving speed V2 are set.

On the other hand, the left image G120L and the right image G120R moving on the display unit 50a during the execution of the image effect are images of a structure (model) that does not actually exist in the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Therefore, unlike the on-board movable body 55k in the second movable body effect, the left side image G120L and the right side image G120R moving on the display unit 50a can be freely displayed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the moving speed of the left image G120L and the right image G120R is set to a third moving speed V3, which is too fast to be realized by the drive motor used for the on-board movable body 55k.

Thus, the left image G120L and the right image G120R in the image effect move more quickly than the on-board movable body 55k during the execution of the second movable body effect. Therefore, it is possible to make the player realize that the left side image G120L and the right side image G120R move faster than the on-board movable body 55k during the execution of the movable body effect. It is possible to impress the player that the image production is sharper than the execution of the second movable body production.

Moreover, the third moving speed V3 of the left image G120L and the right image G120R during the image production is constant during the movement of the second distance D2. Therefore, it is possible to impress the player that the left side image G120L and the right side image G120R that are moved by the image effect are uniform movements.

The development effect of the present embodiment is an effect performed after the execution of the SP reach and before the execution of the SPSP reach when the SP reach is developed from the SP reach during the execution of the special figure variation effect.

This development effect is a composite effect that combines the execution of the above-mentioned second movable body effect and the execution of the image effect. At the same time as the execution of the development effect is started, the execution of the image effect is started. Specifically, with the start of execution of the image effect, the right end of the left image G120L appears from the left end of the display unit 50a, and the left end of the right image G120R appears from the right end of the display unit 50a. Both the left image G120L and the right image G120R move to the center of the display unit 50a while keeping the moving speed constant (third moving speed V3). Then, the right end of the left image G120L and the left end of the right image G120R are integrated to complete the character image G120. At this time, there is no gap between the left image G120L and the right image G120R, and the left image G120L and the right image G120R are adjacent to each other in the vertical direction without any deviation. With the completion of such a character image G120, it is possible to surprise the player as if a real movable body with the character image G120 as a motif appeared. Moreover, since the character image G120 is completed instantly, it is possible to create an image effect that surprises the player. Further, the main character of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 appears on the display unit 50a, which makes it possible to excite the player.

When the character image G120 is completed, the execution of the second movable body effect is subsequently started. Specifically, the movable body 55k on the board starts moving from the standby position to the operating position. At this time, the movable body 55k on the board moves at the above-mentioned first moving speed V1. Since the first moving speed V1 is slower than the third moving speed V3 of the left image G120L forming the character image G120 and the right image G120R, the player can visually follow the moving board movable body 55k. It has become.

When the on-board movable body 55k reaches the operating position due to the movement, the first light emitting unit 56A, the second light emitting unit 56B, the third light emitting unit 56C, and the fourth light emitting unit 56D of the on-board movable body 55k all start emitting light. .. Depending on the light emission, the first light emitting unit 56A has the character "L", the second light emitting unit 56B has the character "O", the third light emitting unit 56C has the character "L", and the fourth light emitting unit 56D has the character "O". Is displayed. As a result, the name of the main character (“LOLO”) is displayed on the movable body 55k on the board toward the player. Therefore, it is possible to convince the player that the previously completed character image G120 is the main character.

After the second stop period (3 seconds) elapses after the movable body 55k on the board reaches the operating position, the light emission of each light emitting unit 56A, 56B, 56C, 56D ends. Then, the movable body 55k on the board starts moving from the operating position to the standby position. At this time, the movable body 55k on the board moves at the above-mentioned second moving speed V2. This second moving speed V2 is slower than the moving speed V3 of the left image G120L and the right image G120R forming the character image G120, and is higher than the first moving speed V1 when the movable body 55k on the board moves from the standby position to the operating position. Because it is slow, the player can visually follow the moving board movable body 55k.

Further, when the movable body 55k on the board starts moving from the operating position to the standby position, the character image G120 disappears from the display unit 50a. Therefore, the player can grasp that the development production is finished.

When the movable body 55k on the board reaches the standby position, the execution of the development effect ends. Following the end of the execution of the development effect, the execution of the SPSP reach shown in FIG. 19C is started.

<Effect of the first embodiment>
Hereinafter, the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be described.

(1) Left image G120L and right image forming the character image G120 in the image production rather than the first movement speed V1 when the on-board movable body 55k moves from the standby position to the operation position in the second movable body production of the development effect. The third moving speed V3 of G120R is faster. Therefore, since the left image G120L and the right image G120R on the display unit 50a move faster than the on-board movable body 55k, it is possible to impress the player with a sharp image effect using the character image G120. It has become.

(2) Further, it is possible to execute a development effect by combining the character image G120 at the center position of the display unit 50a and the on-board movable body 55k at the operating position. Therefore, when such a development effect is executed, it is possible to show the player an image effect accompanied by a relatively quick movement and a second movable body effect accompanied by a relatively slow movement. , It is possible to entertain the player with a well-balanced composite production.

(3) Further, it is possible to impress the player that the character image G120 is quickly integrated.

<Examples of modification of the basic embodiment and the first embodiment>
Hereinafter, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the basic embodiment or the first embodiment will be described. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be appropriately combined and configured. Further, the technical features in the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted unless they are described as essential in the present specification.

<Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-mentioned basic embodiment or the first embodiment is also applied to the second embodiment. In the gaming machine according to the first embodiment, the second movable body effect using the on-board movable body 55k, which looks different from the character image G120, can be executed. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the second movable body effect using the movable body having the same appearance as the character image G120 is configured to be feasible.

The production of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 24. The production of the second embodiment has the same development production as that of the first embodiment, but does not have the first movable body production. However, the development effect of the second embodiment is an effect that combines the second movable body effect using the board movable body 400 instead of the on-board movable body 55k and the image effect using the character image G120. In that respect, it differs from the first embodiment.

The second movable body effect is an effect using the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R. The left movable body 400L of the board is a structure having the same design as the left image G120L of the first embodiment when viewed from the front. Further, the board right movable body 400R is a structure having the same design as the right image G120R of the first embodiment when viewed from the front. The board movable body 400, which is a combination (integration) of the board left movable body 400L at the left operating position described later and the board right movable body 400R at the right operating position described later, is the same as the above-mentioned character image G120. , This is a structure that imitates the head of the production motif (hero) of this pachinko gaming machine PY1.

The board left movable body 400L can move between two positions (left standby position and left operating position). The left standby position of the board left movable body 400L means that the right end of the board left movable body 400L overlaps with the left end of the display unit 50a, and the entire board left movable body 400L is on the left side of the display unit 50a and on the back side of the game board 1. It is a position to hide. On the other hand, the left operating position of the board left movable body 400L is the position of the board left movable body 400L shown in FIG. 23 (B), and the right end of the board left movable body 400L is located at the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a. , The position where the entire board left movable body 400L appears on the left side of the display unit 50a.

The board right movable body 400R can also move between two positions (right side standby position and right side operating position) like the board left movable body 400L. The right standby position of the board right movable body 400R means that the left end of the board right movable body 400R overlaps with the right end of the display unit 50a, and the entire board right movable body 400R is on the right side of the display unit 50a and on the back side of the game board 1. It is a position to hide. On the other hand, the right operating position of the board right movable body 400R is the position of the board right movable body 400R shown in FIG. 23 (B), and the left end of the board right movable body 400R is located at the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a. , The position where the entire board right movable body 400R appears on the right side of the display unit 50a.

In this second movable body effect, two movable bodies (board left movable body 400L and board right movable body 400R) move from the standby position to the operating position at the same time, and operate during the third stop period (specifically, 3 seconds). After stopping at the position, it moves from the operating position to the standby position. As described above, the second movable body effect is such that the two movable bodies (the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R) move one round trip between the standby position and the operating position.

Further, when the board left movable body 400L moves from the left standby position to the left operating position as shown in FIG. 23 during the execution of the second movable body effect, the board left movable body 400L moves at the fourth moving speed V4. do. In the second embodiment, the board left movable body 400L moves from the left standby position to the left operating position (specifically, moves the second distance D2), but has a fourth movement time T4 (specifically, 1). It takes 0.0 seconds). Therefore, the fourth moving speed V4 is a quotient (0.15 m / s) obtained by dividing the second distance D2 by the fourth moving time T4. This fourth moving speed V4 is slower than the third moving speed V3 of the left image G120L in the image production of the same development effect.

On the other hand, when the board left movable body 400L moves from the left operating position to the left standby position during the execution of the second movable body effect, the board left movable body 400L moves at the fifth moving speed V5. In the second embodiment, the board left movable body 400L moves from the left operation position to the left standby position (specifically, moves the second distance D2), but has a fifth movement time T5 (specifically, 3). It takes 0.0 seconds). Therefore, the fifth moving speed V5 is a quotient (0.05 m / s) obtained by dividing the second distance D2 by the second moving time T2. This fifth moving speed V5 is slower than the third moving speed V3 of the left image G120L in the image production.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the fourth moving speed V4 is faster than the fifth moving speed V5 (V4> V5), and the left side standby position is higher than the left side operation position to the left side standby position. The left movable body 400L moves with a quicker movement when moving from the left side to the left side operation position. However, the left image G120L in the image effect moves more quickly than the board left movable body 400L during the execution of the second movable body effect. Therefore, it is possible to make the player realize that the left image G120L during the execution of the image effect is a quicker movement than the left movable body 400L during the execution of the second movable body effect. It is possible to impress the player that the image production is sharper than the execution of the movable body production.

Further, in the second embodiment, when the board right movable body 400R moves from the right standby position to the right operating position as shown in FIG. 23 during the execution of the second movable body effect, the board right movable body 400R is used. It moves at the fourth moving speed V4. In the second embodiment, the panel right movable body 400R requires the fourth movement time T4 to move from the right standby position to the right operation position (specifically, move the second distance D2).

On the other hand, when the board right movable body 400R moves from the right operating position to the right standby position during the execution of the second movable body effect, the board right movable body 400R moves at the fifth moving speed V5. In the second embodiment, the board right movable body 400R requires the fifth movement time T5 to move from the right operating position to the right standby position (specifically, move the second distance D2).

As described above, in the second embodiment, the fourth moving speed V4 is faster than the fifth moving speed V5 in the board right movable body 400R as well as the board left movable body 400L (V4> V5). , The board right movable body 400R moves faster when moving from the right standby position to the right operating position than when moving from the right operating position to the right standby position. However, the right image G120R in the image effect moves more quickly than the board right movable body 400R during the execution of the second movable body effect. Therefore, it is possible to make the player realize that the right image G120R during the execution of the image production is a quicker movement than the board right movable body 400R during the execution of the second movable body production. It is possible to impress the player that the image production is sharper than the execution of the movable body production.

In the second movable body effect of the second embodiment, the above-mentioned board left movable body 400L and board right movable body 400R move in front of the display unit 50a, and these board left movable body 400L and board right movable body 400R move. It is a production that the board movable body 400 is completed by uniting (integrating) in front of the display unit 50a. Specifically, during the execution of the development effect, after the guarantee image G120 is completed in the center of the display unit 50a, the right edge of the board left movable body 400L is movable from the left end of the display unit 50a to the board right from the right end of the display unit 50. The left edges of the body 400R appear respectively. Then, as shown in FIG. 23A, the board left movable body 400L appearing from the left end of the display unit 50a moves to the right toward the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a with its right edge at the head. , Gradually appear in front of the display unit 50a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23A, the board right movable body 400R that appears from the right end of the display unit 50a also has the left edge of the board right movable body 400R at the head toward the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a. It moves to the left and gradually appears in front of the display unit 50a.

By the above movement, the right end of the board left movable body 400L and the left end of the board right movable body 400R reach the front of the center in the left-right direction of the display unit 50a, respectively. That is, the left movable body 400L reaches the left operating position, and the right movable body 400R reaches the right operating position. Then, the right end of the board left movable body 400L and the left end of the board right movable body 400R are adjacent to each other, and the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R are united (integrated) in front of the center of the display unit 50a. Thus, as shown in FIG. 23B, the board movable body 400 is completed in front of the center of the display unit 50a.

Similar to the first embodiment described above, the development effect of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment described above. It is a production performed before the execution.

This development effect is a composite effect that combines the execution of the above-mentioned second movable body effect and the execution of the image effect. At the same time as the execution of the development effect is started, the execution of the image effect is started as in the first embodiment described above. In this image production, both the left image G120L and the right image G120R move to the center of the display unit 50a while keeping the moving speed constant (third moving speed V3). Then, the right end of the left image G120L and the left end of the right image G120R are integrated to complete the character image G120 (see FIG. 24A).

When the character image G120 is completed, the execution of the second movable body effect is subsequently started. Specifically, the board left movable body 400L starts moving from the left side standby position to the left side operation position, and the board right movable body 400R starts moving from the right side standby position to the right side operation position. At this time, both the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R move at the above-mentioned fourth moving speed V4.

Then, the left movable body 400L reaches the left operating position, the right movable body 400R reaches the right operating position, and the left movable body 400L and the right movable body 400R are united (integrated) in front of the center of the display unit 50a. The movable board 400 is completed (see FIG. 24 (B)). That is, the board movable body 400 is completed so as to overlap in front of the character image G120 completed on the display unit 50a.

In the second embodiment, since the character image G120 is quickly completed on the display unit 50a at the start of the execution of the development effect, it is possible to attract the attention (interest) of the player from the start of the development effect. .. Moreover, after the completion of the character image G120, the board movable body 400 having the same appearance as the character image G120 is completed in front of the display unit 50a, so that the player can realize a relatively higher real feeling than the image. It has become.

After the third stop period (3 seconds) elapses after the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R reach each operating position, the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R stand by from each operating position. Start moving to the position. At this time, both the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R move at the above-mentioned fifth moving speed V5. When the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R start moving from each operating position to each standby position, the character image G120 has already disappeared from the display unit 50a.

When the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R reach each standby position, the execution of the development effect ends. Following the end of the execution of the development effect, the execution of the SPSP reach is started as shown in FIG. 24 (C).

<Effect of the second embodiment>

It is possible to give the player a visual impact to the same extent by executing the movable body effect or by such an image effect.

Moreover, the third moving speed V3 of the left image G120L and the right image G120R forming the character image G120 is faster than the fourth moving speed V4 of the board left movable body 400L and the board right movable body 400R forming the board movable body 400. Therefore, in the second embodiment, since the execution of the image effect is started at the same time as the execution of the development effect is started, the execution of the second movable body effect is started instead of the execution of the image effect at the start of the execution of the development effect. More than in the case, it is possible to give a visual impact to the player shortly after the start of the execution of the development effect.

(2) Further, since the board movable body 400 used for the second movable body production is a combination (integration) of two movable bodies (board left movable body 400L and board right movable body 400R), the board movable body 400 It is possible to reduce the load on one drive motor as compared with the case where the motor is operated as it is.
