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 that is more advantageous to the player 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 the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot gaming 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 total prize ball number image G112 or the like suggesting the total prize ball number paid out is displayed on the display unit 50a. 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 gaming 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), 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 gaming 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. As shown in 12 (B), the button operation promotion effect is ended, and the operation result effect is performed. FIG. 12B shows a case where a movable body effect in which the on-board movable body 55k operates is performed as an operation result effect. The content of the operation effect can be changed as appropriate.

8-4-3. Look-ahead effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a look-ahead effect based on a look-ahead determination as a advance notice effect. The look-ahead effect is, for example, an effect in which the hold icon HA changes, and functions as an effect for suggesting the result of the jackpot determination in advance.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a look-ahead effect in response to storing the special figure 1 hold or the special figure 2 hold. Here, a look-ahead effect for the special figure 1 hold is illustrated. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 enters the first starting port 11 and stores the special figure 1 hold, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is as shown in FIG. 10 (C) based on the result of the look-ahead determination for the special figure 1 hold. In the hold icon display area 50d, the icon image of "○" is usually displayed as the hold icon HA, but the icon image of "☆" is displayed. The content of the look-ahead effect can be changed as appropriate.

9. Internal configuration Next, the internal configuration of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a part related to the control of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. As shown in FIG. 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 includes a main control unit 100 that controls the game and an effect control unit 120 that executes the effect. 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 the 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 can 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 port 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 of "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.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-mentioned basic embodiment is also applied to the first embodiment.

1. 1. Special Figure Game First, the special figure game in the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment (hereinafter, also simply referred to as an embodiment) will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when a prize is generated for the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 of the game ball, the “big hit random number” and “big hit random number” shown in FIG. 17 (A) are generated. Both "type random number" and "reach random number" can be obtained. Further, if a prize is generated in the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 when the game state is set to the high probability high base game state, the above-mentioned "big hit random number", "type random number" and In addition to the "reach random number", the "falling random number" shown in FIG. 17 (A) can also be obtained.

The "big hit random number" is a random number for determining whether to display the "big hit symbol" or the "missing symbol" as the stop symbol of the special figure game, and the "type random number" is a special figure. This is a random number for determining which type of jackpot symbol is to be displayed when the "big hit symbol" is displayed as the game stop symbol. Further, the "reach random number" is a random number for determining whether or not to generate a reach as a special figure fluctuation effect accompanying the special figure game when the "missing symbol" is displayed as the stop symbol of the special figure game. The "falling random number" is a random number for determining whether to change the setting of the gaming state from the high-probability gaming state to the low-probability gaming state from the next special figure change during the setting of the high-probability gaming state.

When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a jackpot random number by winning a prize at the starting port, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a jackpot determination based on the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 17 (B). Specifically, when the gaming state being set is a low-probability gaming state (in this embodiment, a low-probability low-base gaming state or a low-probability high-base gaming state), the acquired jackpot random number value (big hit random number value) is If the value is from "0" to "209", it is determined as "big hit winning" by referring to the jackpot judgment table shown in FIG. 17 (B), and the acquired jackpot random number value is from "210" to "65535". If the value is, it is judged as "missing". In the special figure game determined to be "big hit winning", the big hit symbol ("big hit W4 symbol" or "big hit X4 symbol" described later in this embodiment) is finally stopped and displayed, and the special figure is determined to be "missing". In the figure game, the lost symbol (“missed A symbol” described later in the present embodiment) is finally stopped and displayed.

On the other hand, if the game state being set is a high-probability game state (high-probability high-base game state in this embodiment) and the acquired jackpot random number value is a value from "0" to "511", the figure is shown in the figure. With reference to the jackpot determination table shown in 17 (B), it is determined that the jackpot has been won, and if the acquired jackpot random number value is a value from "512" to "65535", it is determined to be "missing". In the special figure game determined to be "big hit winning", the big hit symbol ("big hit W4 symbol" in this embodiment or "big hit W10 symbol" described later) is finally stopped and displayed, and the special figure is determined to be "missing". In the figure game, the lost symbol (“missed A symbol” in the present embodiment) is finally stopped and displayed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the high-probability gaming state, the number of jackpot random numbers determined to be "big hit winning" is larger than that in the low-probability gaming state. Therefore, when the gaming state is a high-probability gaming state, the result of the jackpot determination is more likely to be "big hit winning" than in the case of the low-probability gaming state.

Further, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a type random number by winning a prize at the starting port, if the result of the jackpot determination based on the above-mentioned jackpot determination table is "big hit winning", the jackpot shown in FIG. 17 (C). Based on the type judgment table, type judgment is performed to determine the type of jackpot. Specifically, when the gaming state being set is a low-probability gaming state and the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning", the pachinko gaming machine PY1 continues to perform type determination after the jackpot determination. If the acquired type random number value (type random number value) is a value from "0" to "59", refer to the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 17 (C) and use "big hit W4 symbol" as a stop symbol. If the acquired reach random number value is a value from "60" to "99", the "big hit X4 symbol" is determined as the stop symbol.

On the other hand, even when the gaming state being set is a high-probability gaming state and the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning", the pachinko gaming machine PY1 continues to perform type determination after the jackpot determination. If the acquired type random number value (type random number value) is a value from "0" to "29", refer to the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 17 (C) and use "big hit W4 symbol" as a stop symbol. If the acquired reach random number value is a value from "30" to "99", the "big hit W10 symbol" is determined as the stop symbol. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the high-probability gaming state, the result of the jackpot determination is more likely to be "big hit winning" than in the case of the low-probability gaming state. Moreover, when it is determined that the "big hit is won", the "probability variation symbol" is to be stopped and displayed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning" when the gaming state is the high probability gaming state, the high probability game is sandwiched between the jackpot games associated with the "big hit winning". It is advantageous for the player because the state will continue.

Further, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a reach random number by winning a prize at the starting port, if the result of the jackpot determination based on the above-mentioned jackpot determination table is "missing", the reach determination shown in FIG. 17 (D). Based on the table, the reach is determined as to whether or not the reach is generated in the special figure fluctuation effect accompanying the special figure game. Specifically, regardless of whether the gaming state being set is a low-probability gaming state or a high-probability gaming state, if the result of the jackpot determination is "missing", the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will perform after the jackpot determination. Continue to make reach judgment. If the acquired reach random number value (reach random number value) is a value from "0" to "5", refer to the reach determination table shown in FIG. If it is determined that there is "reach" and the acquired reach random number value is a value from "6" to "79", the special figure fluctuation effect accompanying the special figure game does not generate reach "no reach". ".

Further, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a fall random number by winning a prize at the starting port, the next special feature is set during the setting of the high-probability gaming state based on the fall determination table shown in FIG. 17 (E). Figure A fall determination is made to determine whether to change the setting of the gaming state from the high-probability gaming state to the low-probability gaming state based on the fluctuation. Specifically, when the gaming state being set is a high-probability gaming state and the result of the jackpot determination is "missing", the pachinko gaming machine PY1 continues to perform the fall determination after the jackpot determination. If the acquired value of the fall random number (fall random number value) is a value from "0" to "126", refer to the fall determination table shown in FIG. 17 (E) and change the game state from the next special figure change. If it is determined that the setting is changed to the low-probability gaming state as "fall winning" and the acquired fall random number value is a value from "127" to "65535", the setting of the gaming state is not changed to the low-probability gaming state. It is judged as "falling non-winning". Therefore, when it is determined as "fall winning", the jackpot determination is performed using the jackpot determination table in which the game state is "normal probability state" in the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 10 (A), and "falling non-winning" is performed. If it is determined, the jackpot determination is performed using the jackpot determination table in the game state of "high probability state".

When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment makes a big hit determination by winning a prize in the first starting port 11 of the game ball, the first special figure is variably displayed and the winning in the second starting port 12 of the game ball causes the winning. When the jackpot determination is made, the second special figure is variably displayed. Specifically, the variable display of the first special figure is a display in which the two LEDs at the upper left of the display devices 8 shown in FIG. 2 blink, and the variable display of the second special figure is the lower left of the display devices 8. It is a display that the two LEDs of the part blink. Further, when the game ball wins the first starting port 11 during the variable display of the special figure, the look-ahead determination described later is performed, and the right to receive the acquired jackpot determination is stored as the special figure 1 hold. Further, even when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 during the variable display of the special figure, the look-ahead determination is performed and the right to receive the acquired jackpot determination is stored as the special figure 2 hold. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can store up to four special figure 1 hold and up to four special figure 2 hold. After the stop display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 sequentially performs a jackpot determination for the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold. In the present embodiment, the special figure 2 hold is given priority over the special figure 1 hold.

2. 2. Gaming State Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The gaming states of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 include the above-mentioned "big hit gaming state", "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", and "high probability high base gaming state" shown in FIG. 18, respectively. There are four types.

The "low probability high base game state" is a game state that may be taken after the jackpot game state. In the present embodiment, the game state is set from the next game when the result of the fall determination is the fall winning while the "high probability high base game state" is set. Then, this "low probability high base game state" 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, 100 times).

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 a big hit game is performed and that a fall is won by a fall determination.

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 that the result of the big hit determination is "big hit winning" is the normal probability (about 1/312 in this embodiment). , "High probability high base game state" belongs to a high probability state (about 1/128 in this embodiment) in which the probability that the result of the big hit determination is "big hit winning" is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, the "high probability high base game state" is a game state that is 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.

Further, the "low probability low base game state" is a non-time saving state in which it is difficult for the game ball to win a prize in the second starting port 12 (specifically, a state in which the second starting port 12 is opened in the first opening time). The "low-probability high-base game state" and the "high-probability high-base game state" are the time-saving states in which the game ball is easily won in the second starting port 12 (specifically, the second opening time is the second open time). 2 It belongs to the state where the starting port 12 is open). Therefore, with respect to the second starting port 12, the "low-probability high-base gaming state" and the "high-probability high-base gaming state" are more advantageous to the player than the "low-probability low-base gaming state".

Here, in the "high probability high base game state", the time saving state when the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" and the time saving state when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning". Will be explained. The game control microcomputer 101 is used in the case where the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times after the "high probability high base game state" is reached. Even if there is, it does not switch from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. For example, when the result of the fall determination related to the variable display of the 50th special figure is "fall winning", as shown in FIG. 19A, the high probability state is switched to the low probability state (normal probability state). However, it does not switch from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state. After that, when the 100th variable display and stop display of the special figure are completed, the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state. In this case, the 1st to 49th times of the variable display of the special figure are in the "high probability high base game state", the 50th to 100th times are in the "low probability high base game state", and the 101st and subsequent times are in the "low probability low base game state". It becomes "game state".

On the other hand, in the game control microcomputer 101, even if the number of variable display of the special figure after the "high probability high base game state" is 100 times, the result of the fall determination is not "fall winning". After that, the time saving state will continue. Then, when the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" after that, when the variable display of the special figure is started, the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state. For example, when the result of the fall determination related to the 120th variable display of the special figure is "fall winning", as shown in FIG. 19B, it is high at the start timing of the 120th variable display of the special figure. Switch from the probabilistic state to the low-probability state and switch from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state. In this case, the first to 119th variable display of the special figure is the "high probability high base game state", and the 120th and subsequent times are the "low probability low base game state".

Further, in the game control microcomputer 101, when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "high probability high base game state" becomes 100 times, the result of the big hit determination becomes "big hit winning". The time saving state is continued until the variable display and the stop display of the special figure based on the jackpot judgment are completed. On the other hand, when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "high probability high base game state" is 101st or later, when the result of the big hit judgment becomes "big hit winning", the special figure is variable based on the big hit judgment. When starting the display, it switches from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. For example, when the result of the jackpot determination related to the variable display of the 120th special figure is "big hit winning", as shown in FIG. 19C, at the start timing of the variable display of the 120th special figure, as shown in FIG. 19C. Switch from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. That is, when the number of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state is 101st or later, even if the result of the fall determination is "fall winning", the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning". However, at the same timing (start of variable display of special figure), the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state. Therefore, depending on the switching from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state, the player cannot determine whether the result of the fall determination is the "fall winning" or the result of the jackpot determination is the "big hit winning". In this case, the first to 119th variable display of the special figure is the "high probability high base game state", and the 120th time is the "high probability low base game state".

Further, the game RAM 104 is provided with a number storage unit (not shown) for storing the number of times of variable display of the special figure, and the game control microcomputer 101 displays the special figure in a variable manner after setting the time saving state. By updating the number of times stored in the number-of-times storage unit according to the start, it is possible to count the number of times of variable display of the special figure after setting the time saving state. The number of times stored in the number-of-times storage unit is reset when the next jackpot game is performed.

3. 3. Big hit game Next, the big hit game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be mainly described with reference to FIG. The jackpot game of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 includes three types of jackpot games, "big hit game W10", "big hit game W4", and "big hit game X4" shown in FIG. 20 (A).

The "big hit game W10" is a big hit game that becomes a "high probability high base game state" after that, and continues until the end of 10 round games. The first big winning opening 14 is opened once in one round game.

On the other hand, the "big hit game W4" is a big hit game that becomes a "high probability high base game state" after that, but is a big hit game that continues until the end of four round games, which is less than the "big hit game W10". .. As with the "big hit game W10", the first big winning opening 14 is opened once in one round game.

The "big hit game X4" is a big hit game that becomes a "low probability high base game state" after that, and continues until the four round games are completed. The first big winning opening 14 is opened once in one round game.

The "big hit game W10" and the "big hit game W4" belong to the so-called "probability variable big hit game" in which the game state becomes a high probability state, whereas the "big hit game X4" belongs to the so-called "big hit game X4" in which the game state becomes a normal probability state. It belongs to "normal jackpot game". Therefore, it can be said that the "big hit game W10" and the "big hit game W4" are the big hit games that are more advantageous to the player than the "big hit game X4" in terms of the subsequent big hit winning probability, and the "big hit game W10" or the "big hit game W4". It can be said that the jackpot game state in which "" is performed is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which "big hit game X4" is performed. Further, the "big hit game W10", the "big hit game W4" and the "big hit game X4" belong to the so-called "big hit game with electric support" in which the game state is shortened.

4. Symbol determination table Next, the symbol determination table of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 20 (B). The game storage unit 101c stores the symbol determination table 103c1 shown in FIG. 20B instead of the one shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 20B, 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 and the result of the jackpot determination. There are four types of stop symbols of the present embodiment: "big hit W10 symbol", "big hit W4 symbol", "big hit X4 symbol", and "missing A symbol". As shown in FIG. 20B, the "big hit W4 symbol" is associated with the "big hit game W4", the "big hit W10 symbol" is associated with the "big hit game W10", and the "big hit X4 symbol" is associated with the "big hit game X4". There is. Further, the "missing A symbol" is associated with a mere loss. 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 "big hit W4 symbol" and the "big hit W10 symbol" are stop symbols selected when a jackpot game that becomes a high probability state is performed thereafter, and are also referred to as "probability variation symbols". In particular, the "big hit W4 symbol" corresponds to the jackpot game (big hit game W4) accompanied by four round games, and is also called a "four-round probability variation symbol". On the other hand, the "big hit W10 symbol" corresponds to the jackpot game (big hit game W10) accompanied by 10 round games, and is also called "10 round probability variation symbol". On the other hand, the "big hit X4 symbol" is selected when a jackpot game that becomes a normal probability state is performed after that, and is a stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot game (big hit game X4) accompanied by four round games, and is a "4 round". Also called "normal design". Further, the "missing A symbol" is a stop symbol selected in the case of a mere loss in which nothing is performed after that, and is also referred to as a "normal lost symbol".

5. Fluctuation pattern determination table Next, the special figure variation pattern determination in the present embodiment will be further described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 21. In the present embodiment, when the game control microcomputer 101 determines the special figure fluctuation pattern of the first special figure, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 is used. Further, when the special figure fluctuation pattern determination of the second special figure is performed, in addition to the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 21 (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination). Table A, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D) may be used.

The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C, and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D are stored in the gaming ROM 103. The game control microcomputer 101 is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C, or a special figure shown in FIGS. 21 (A) to 21 (D). 2 The variation pattern can be determined by using the variation pattern determination table D. In the present embodiment, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination tables A to D shown in FIGS. 21 (A) to 21 (D) are used, but the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 is also used. It is also possible.

The game control microcomputer 101 determines the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern in the time saving state based on the jackpot probability state, the jackpot determination result, the reach determination result, the special figure fluctuation pattern random number, and the number of variable display of the special figure. do. As shown in FIGS. 21 (A) to 21 (D), “THP001” to “THP008”, “THP011” to “THP015”, “THP021” to “THP024”, “THP021” to “THP024”, “THP001” to “THP008”, “THP011” to “THP015”, “THP021” to “THP024”, It is possible to determine 19 types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns of "THP031" to "THP032". Which special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is determined depends on the special figure fluctuation pattern random number.

In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A, when the number of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after the "big hit game W4", "big hit game W10" or "big hit game X4" is executed is the first to 99th. Used for. The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B is used when the number of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after the "big hit game W4" or "big hit game W10" is executed is the 100th time. The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C is used when the number of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after the "big hit game W4" or "big hit game W10" is executed is the 101st or later. Then, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table D is used when the number of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after the "big hit game X4" is executed is the 100th time.

In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table A, when the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit winning", the game state is "high probability high base game state" regardless of the state of the big hit probability if it is in the time saving state. However, even in the "low probability high base state"), one of the three types of "THP001" to "THP003" is determined as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern (see FIG. 21 (A)). Of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, "THP002" is easier to determine than the other special figure 2 fluctuation patterns (see FIG. 21 (A)). In addition, "THP001" is referred to as "immediate jackpot fluctuation", "THP002" is referred to as "confrontation jackpot fluctuation", and "THP003" is referred to as "confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation".

Further, when the result of the jackpot determination is "missing" and the result of the reach determination is "with reach", "THP011" to "THP012" are used as the special figure 2 fluctuation patterns regardless of the jackpot probability state as long as the time is shortened. One of the two types is determined (see FIG. 21 (A)). Of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns, "THP011" is easier to determine than "THP012". In addition, "THP011" is referred to as "confrontation loss fluctuation", and "THP012" is referred to as "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation".

Further, when the result of the jackpot determination is "missing" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", "THP013" to "THP014" as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern regardless of the state of the jackpot probability if the time is shortened. One of the two types is determined (see FIG. 21 (A)). Which of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined depends on the number of special figure 2 reservations. When the number of special figures 2 reserved is 0 to 1, it is easy to determine "THP013" with a relatively long special figure fluctuation time of 13000 ms, and when the number of reserved figures 2 is 2 to 4, the special figure 2 is reserved. It is easy to determine "THP014" having a fluctuation time of 4000 ms, which is relatively short. In addition, "THP013" is referred to as "normal A loss fluctuation", and "THP014" is referred to as "normal B loss fluctuation".

In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table B, when the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit winning", the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is 2 of "THP004" to "THP005" regardless of the state of the big hit probability if it is in the time saving state. One of the types is determined (see FIG. 21B). Of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns, "THP005" is easier to determine than "THP004". In addition, "THP004" is referred to as "branch jackpot fluctuation", and "THP005" is referred to as "branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation".

In addition, when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" and "high probability high base game state" (specifically, when the result of the fall judgment so far is "fall non-winning"), the special figure 2 One of two types of fluctuation patterns, "THP021" to "THP022", is determined (see FIG. 21B). Of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns, "THP022" is easier to determine than "THP021". In addition, "THP021" is referred to as "branch / success loss fluctuation", and "THP022" is referred to as "branch / revival / success loss fluctuation".

In addition, when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" and "low probability high base game state" (specifically, when there is "fall winning" in the result of the fall judgment so far), special figure 2 Only "THP031" is determined as the variation pattern (see FIG. 21B). It should be noted that "THP031" is referred to as "branch / revival / failure loss fluctuation".

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C, when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning", the special figure 2 variation pattern is "THP001", "THP006" to "" regardless of the state of the jackpot probability if the time is shortened. One of the three types of "THP007" is determined (see FIG. 21 (C)). Of the three types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, "THP007" is easier to determine than the other special figure 2 fluctuation patterns. In addition, "THP006" is referred to as "decision jackpot fluctuation", and "THP007" is referred to as "decision / resurrection jackpot fluctuation".

In addition, when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" and "high probability high base game state" (specifically, when the result of the fall judgment so far is "fall non-winning"), the special figure 2 One of two types of fluctuation patterns, "THP023" to "THP024", is determined (see FIG. 21 (C)). Which of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined depends on the number of special figure 2 reservations. When the number of holdings of the special figure 2 is 0 to 1, "THP023" is easily determined, and when the number of holdings of the special figure 2 is 2 to 4, "THP024" is easily determined.

In addition, when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" and "low probability high base game state" (specifically, when there is "fall winning" in the result of the fall judgment so far), special figure 2 Only "THP032" is determined as the variation pattern (see FIG. 21C). It should be noted that "THP032" is referred to as "decision / revival loss fluctuation".

In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table D, when the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit winning", "THP008" is used as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern, and when the result of the big hit judgment is "missing", the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is used. "THP015" is determined respectively (see FIG. 21 (D)). In addition, "THP008" is referred to as "result jackpot fluctuation", and "THP015" is referred to as "result loss fluctuation".

6. Various effects Next, various effects in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 36. The effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment can set "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" as an effect mode in a high-base game state (high-probability high-base game state, low-probability high-base game state). In addition, it is possible to execute "confrontation reach" and "settlement reach" as special figure fluctuation effects that can be executed while setting a high-base gaming state. Furthermore, it is possible to execute "big hit confirmation effect", "branch effect", "result effect", "revival effect", "big hit announcement effect", and "revival fanning effect". Further, in the jackpot game mode, it is possible to execute the "first jackpot effect", the "second jackpot effect", and the "special jackpot effect".

6-1. Production mode of high-base game state The effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment has "high-probability high-base game state, low-probability high-base game state" as the effect mode when the high-base game state (high-probability high-base game state, low-probability high-base game state) is set after the jackpot game state. "Super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" can be set. The "super RUSH mode" is an effect mode that can suggest that the gaming state is a "high probability high base gaming state". Then, this "super RUSH mode" is set when the game state is changed from the "big hit game state" accompanied by the execution of the big hit game Y to the "high probability high base game state". That is, this "super RUSH mode" is set according to the start of setting the "high probability high base game state".

The "RUSH mode" is an effect mode that suggests that the gaming state is a "low probability high base gaming state". Then, this "RUSH mode" is set when the game state is changed from the "big hit game state" accompanied by the execution of the big hit game X4 to the "low probability high base game state". That is, this "RUSH mode" is set according to the start of setting the "low probability high base game state".

Each effect mode is distinguished by the display of the display unit 50a. When the "super RUSH mode" is set, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the band image G20A with the character string "super RUSH mode" is displayed on the upper part of the display unit 50a. Such an image effect using the band image G20A is particularly referred to as "super RUSH mode effect". On the other hand, when the "RUSH mode" is set, as shown in FIG. 22B, the band image G20B with the character string "RUSH mode" is displayed at the upper part of the display unit 50a. Such an image effect using the band image G20B is particularly referred to as "RUSH mode effect".

In FIG. 23 (A), after the jackpot game state, the "high probability high base game state" is set, and the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" in the variable display of the special figure of the (100 + α) th time (α is an integer of 1 or more). The transition (transition A) of the effect mode when becomes. After the execution of the jackpot game, the execution of the "super RUSH mode" is started at the same time as the setting of the "high probability high base game state" is started. This "super RUSH mode" can be continued until the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is performed. If the result of all the fall judgments related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the "super RUSH mode" is not "fall winning" and the "high probability high base game state" is maintained, the 101st time. The "super RUSH mode" continues even after the variable display of the special figure of. This "super RUSH mode" continues until the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" or the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning".

If the result of the fall judgment is "fall winning" during the execution of the "super RUSH mode" of the variable display of the (100 + α) th special figure, the setting of the game state is changed from "high probability high base game state" to " It is changed to "low probability low base game state" (see FIG. 23 (A)). Then, the (100 + α) th variable display of the special figure is started. In the present embodiment, the execution of the "super RUSH mode" continues as the effect mode even during the variable display of the special figure changed to the "low probability low base game state" (100 + α). The effect mode is changed from the "super RUSH mode" to the above-mentioned "normal effect mode" according to the end of the subsequent (100 + α) variable display of the special figure. Therefore, at the start of the (100 + α + 1) th variable display of the special figure, the effect mode is set to the “normal effect mode”.

In the case of the transition A of the effect mode shown in FIG. 23 (A), the period in which the variable display of the special figure from the first time to the 100th time is performed after the big hit game is set as the first period. Specifically, the period from the start of the first variable display of the special figure to the stop display of the 100th variable display of the special figure after the execution of the jackpot game is completed is set as the first period. .. That is, the first period is the period from the big hit game until the variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times. Further, the period during which the variable display of the special figure is performed from the 101st time to the (100 + α) time is defined as the second period. Specifically, the period from the start of the 101st variable display of the special figure to the stop display of the variable display of the special figure whose fall determination result is "fall winning" is defined as the second period. That is, the second period is a period in which the variable display of the special figure is performed 100 times and then once or a plurality of times.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the effect mode in which the “high probability high base game state” is set after the big hit game state and the result of the big hit determination is “big hit winning” in the variable display of the (100 + α) th special figure. (Transition B) is shown. After the execution of the jackpot game, the execution of the "super RUSH mode" is started at the same time as the setting of the "high probability high base game state" is started. If the result of all the fall determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in this "super RUSH mode" is not "fall winning" and the "high probability high base game state" is maintained, 101 The "super RUSH mode" continues even after the variable display of the special figure for the first time. If the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit winning" during the execution of the "super RUSH mode" of the variable display of the (100 + α) th special figure, the setting of the gaming state is changed from "high probability high base gaming state" to " It is changed to "high probability low base game state" (see FIG. 23 (B)). Then, the (100 + α) th variable display of the special figure is started. In the present embodiment, the execution of the "super RUSH mode" continues as the effect mode even during the variable display of the special figure changed to the "high probability low base game state" (100 + α). The effect mode is changed from the "super RUSH mode" to the above-mentioned "big hit effect mode" according to the start of the jackpot game state thereafter.

In the case of the transition B of the effect mode shown in FIG. 23 (B), the period in which the variable display of the special figure from the first to the 100th is performed after the big hit game is defined as the first period, as in the above-mentioned transition A. do. Further, the period during which the variable display of the special figure is performed from the 101st time to the (100 + α) time is defined as the second period. Specifically, the period from the start of the 101st variable display of the special figure to the stop display of the variable display of the special figure whose jackpot determination result is "big hit winning" is defined as the second period.

Further, in FIG. 23 (C), the case where the “high probability high base game state” is set after the big hit game state and the result of the fall determination is “fall winning” before the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is performed. The transition (transition C) of the effect mode is shown. After the execution of the jackpot game, the execution of the "super RUSH mode" is started at the same time as the setting of the "high probability high base game state" is started. The result of any of the fall determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in this "super RUSH mode" is "fall winning", and the "high probability high base game state" is changed to "low probability high base game state". If it has already been set, the effect mode is set from the "super RUSH mode" to the above-mentioned "normal effect mode" according to the end of the 100th variable display of the special figure. Therefore, at the start of the 101st variable display of the special figure, the effect mode is set to the "normal effect mode".

In the case of the transition C of the effect mode shown in FIG. 23 (C), the period during which the variable display of the special figure from the first to the 100th is performed after the big hit game is the same as the transition A and the transition B described above. One period.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23 (D), the effect mode in which the “low probability high base game state” is set after the big hit game state and the result of all the big hit determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is “missing”. The transition (transition D) of is shown. After the execution of the jackpot game, the execution of the "RUSH mode" is started at the same time as the setting of the "low probability high base game state" is started. This "RUSH mode" can be continued until the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is performed. If the result of all the jackpot judgments related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the "RUSH mode" is not "big hit winning" and the "low probability high base game state" is maintained, the 100th time. Depending on the end of the variable display of the special figure, the effect mode is set from the "RUSH mode" to the above-mentioned "normal effect mode". Therefore, at the start of the 101st variable display of the special figure, the effect mode is set to the "normal effect mode".

In the case of the transition D of the effect mode shown in FIG. 23 (D), the variable display of the special figure from the first to the 100th is performed after the big hit game, as in the above-mentioned transition A, transition B, and transition C. The period is the first period.

6-2. Special figure fluctuation effect in high-base gaming state The effect control microcomputer 121 of this embodiment has the following "big hit confirmation effect", "confrontation reach", and "decision reach" as the special figure variation effect after the big hit game state. It is possible to perform "branch production", "result production", "revival production", "big hit announcement production", and "revival fanning production".

6-2-1. Big hit confirmation effect In the "big hit confirmation effect", after the "normal fluctuation" in the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode", the movable body 55k on the board moves onto the display unit 50a without establishing "reach". It is a movable body production. Since this "big hit confirmation effect" may be performed only when the result of the big hit determination is "big hit winning", it functions as an effect suggesting that the big hit game is performed.

The “big hit confirmation effect” is performed when “immediate jackpot variation” is selected as the variation pattern in FIG. 2 by the effect control microcomputer 121. This "big hit confirmation effect" may be performed in the special figure variation effect excluding the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode" or the "RUSH mode".

FIGS. 24 (A) to 24 (C) show how the “big hit confirmation effect” is performed. When the "normal variation" is started in the special figure variation effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variablely displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. 24 (A). After that, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, the "big hit confirmation effect" is performed.

In the "big hit confirmation effect", as shown in FIG. 24 (B), when all of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variablely displayed, the on-board movable body 55k appears in front of the display unit 50a. Specifically, the movable body 55k on the board descends from the normal standby state. After that, the movable body 55k on the board returns to the normal standby state, and as shown in FIG. 24 (C), the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 suggest the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, "7.7.7". 』Zoro eyes) to stop and display.

6-2-2. Confrontation Reach "Confrontation Reach" is a reach production that may be performed after "reach" in the 1st to 99th special figure fluctuation productions in the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode". This "confrontation reach" is a moving image production in which the main character battles with an enemy character. In the present embodiment, the "confrontation reach" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "missing" than when the result is "big hit winning". Therefore, this "confrontation reach" functions as a staging that suggests that a big hit game is likely to be performed.

For the "confrontation reach", "confrontation jackpot fluctuation", "confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", "confrontation loss fluctuation", or "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation" was selected as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern by the staging control microcomputer 121. If done. The "confrontation reach" may be performed in the first to 99th special figure variation effects in the "super RUSH mode" or the "RUSH mode", but is not performed in other special figure variation effects.

25 (A) to 25 (E) show how the “confrontation reach” is performed. When the "normal variation" is started in the special figure variation effect, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variablely displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. 25 (A). After that, as shown in FIG. 25 (B), when the "reach" is established, the "confrontation reach" is performed.

In the "confrontation reach", as shown in FIG. 25C, the main character image G10 and the enemy character image G11 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character and the enemy character battle is displayed. After that, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "confrontation jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 25 (D), the scene in which the main character wins the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbol EZ1 is displayed. , EZ2, EZ3 stop and display in a mode suggesting the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, doublet of "5.5.5"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", "confrontation loss fluctuation" or "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation", the main character is an enemy as shown in FIG. 25 (E). The scene defeated by the character (the scene where the main character collapses) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a loss (for example, the reach loss of "5, 6, 5"). .. After that, if the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "confrontation loss fluctuation", the special figure fluctuation production ends as it is, but the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation" or "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation". In the case of "Resurrection production A", the "Resurrection production A" is performed via the "Resurrection fanning production A" described later.

6-2-3. Settlement reach "Settlement reach" is a reach effect that may be performed after "reach" in the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode". This "Settlement Reach" is a moving image production in which the main character battles with a strong enemy character. In the present embodiment, the "final reach" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "missing" than when the result is "big hit winning". Therefore, the "decision reach" functions as a production that suggests that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be performed. In addition, if the result of the fall determination is "fall winning", "decision reach" may be performed. Therefore, this "settlement reach" also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility of switching from the high probability state to the normal probability state.

The "decision reach" is performed when the effect control microcomputer 121 selects "decision jackpot variation", "decision / resurrection jackpot variation", or "decision / resurrection loss variation" as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. The "settlement reach" may be performed in the 101st and subsequent special map fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode", but is not performed in other special map variation effects.

26 (A) to 26 (E) show how the “settlement reach” is performed. When the "normal fluctuation" is started, as shown in FIG. 26A, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variablely displayed on the display unit 50a. After that, as shown in FIG. 26B, when the "reach" is established, the "settlement reach" is performed.

In the "settlement reach", as shown in FIG. 26C, the main character image G10 and the strong enemy character image G18 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character and the strong enemy character battle is displayed. After that, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "final jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 26 (D), the scene in which the main character wins the strong enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbol EZ1 is displayed. , EZ2, EZ3 stop and display in a mode suggesting the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, doublet of "5.5.5"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "settlement / resurrection jackpot fluctuation" or "settlement / resurrection loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 26 (E), there is a scene in which the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character. It is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a loss (for example, the reach loss of "5, 6, 5"). After that, the "revival production B" is performed via the "revival fanning production B" described later.

6-2-4. Branching effect The "branching effect" is an effect that may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", and is an effect in which the main character challenges the mission. In the present embodiment, there are times when the time saving state continues and times when the time saving state ends after the execution of this "branch effect". Therefore, the "branch effect" functions both as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may continue and as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may end. Further, since the jackpot game may be performed after the execution of this "branch effect", it also functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game may be performed.

"Branch effect" is "branch / resurrection jackpot variation", "branch / success loss variation", "branch / resurrection / success loss variation" in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern by the effect control microcomputer 121. Or, it is performed when "branch / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation" is selected. The "branch effect" may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", but is not performed in other special figure variation effects.

27 (A) to 27 (D) show how the “branch effect” is performed. The "branch effect" is performed according to the start of the special figure variation effect. In the "branch effect", as shown in FIG. 27 (A), the main character image G10 and the door image G14 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character challenges a mission to open the door is displayed. After that, when the fluctuation pattern in Special Figure 2 is "branch jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 27 (B), the scene where the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a. , The jackpot suggestion image G15 (specifically, the character image of the character string "big hit") suggesting that the jackpot game is performed is displayed, and the "big hit notification effect" described later is performed. At this time, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, doublets of "5, 5, 5"). Further, when the fluctuation pattern of the special figure 2 is "branch / success loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 27 (C), the scene where the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a. It is displayed, and a continuation suggestion image G16 (specifically, a character image of the character string "continuation") suggesting that the "super RUSH mode" continues is displayed. At this time, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a loss (for example, a random number of "1, 2, 3"). On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern in Special Figure 2 is "branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", "branch / resurrection / success loss fluctuation" or "branch / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 27 (D). A scene in which the main character cannot open the door and the mission fails is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the "revival effect C" described later is performed.

6-2-5. Result effect The "result effect" is an effect that may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "RUSH mode", and is an effect that can suggest the end of the "RUSH mode". In the present embodiment, after the execution of this "result effect", the time saving state may be switched to the non-time saving state. Therefore, the "result effect" functions as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may end (or the non-time saving state may start). In addition, since the mode may shift to the "normal effect mode" after the "result effect" is executed, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the mode may shift to the "normal effect mode".

The "result effect" is performed when "result jackpot variation" or "result loss variation" is selected as the variation pattern in FIG. 2 by the effect control microcomputer 121. The "result effect" may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "RUSH mode", but is not performed in other special figure variation effects.

FIGS. 28 (A) to 28 (C) show how the “result effect” is performed. The "result effect" is performed in response to the start of the special figure variation effect. In the "result effect", as shown in FIG. 28 (A), the RUSH end suggestion image G19 (specifically, the character image of the character string "RUSH end") suggesting that the "RUSH mode" ends is displayed on the display unit. It is displayed on 50a. After that, when the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is "result jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. 28 (B), the RUSH end suggestion image G19 indicates that the jackpot game is performed, and the blessing image G20 ( Specifically, it changes to the character string "Congratulations" character image). At this time, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, doublets of "5, 5, 5"). On the other hand, when the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is "result loss variation", as shown in FIG. 28 (C), the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are lost without changing the RUSH end suggestion image G19. Is stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting (for example, the disparity of "1, 2, 3"), and the special figure variation effect ends.

6-2-6. Resurrection production "Resurrection production" is a production in which the main character tries to revive by repeatedly hitting the normal button 40. This "revival effect" is an effect that can be continuously executed after the above-mentioned "confrontation reach", "decision reach", or "branch effect" is performed. The resurrection effect that can be executed after "confrontation reach" is "revival effect A", the resurrection effect that can be executed after "final reach" is "revival effect B", and the resurrection effect that can be executed after "branch effect" is "revival". It is called "Direction C".

"Resurrection production A" is a production that may be performed after the main character is defeated by an enemy character in "confrontation reach". After that, since the jackpot game may be performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game may be performed.

"Resurrection effect A" is performed when "confrontation / revival jackpot variation" or "confrontation / revival loss variation" is selected for the special figure 2 variation pattern by the effect control microcomputer 121. "Resurrection production A" may be performed in the 1st to 99th special figure fluctuation productions in "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" as in "confrontation reach", but other special figure fluctuation productions. Will not be done.

FIGS. 29 (A) to 29 (E) show how the “revival effect A” is performed. In the "confrontation reach", the scene where the main character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and when the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (see FIG. 25 (E)), " Before the "Resurrection Production A" is performed, the "Resurrection Fan Production A" described later is performed. It should be noted that the "revival fanning effect A" may also be performed in the special figure variation effect of the "confrontation loss variation", and the details will be described later.

In the "revival effect A", the button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. 29 (C), the non-translucent button image G12c is displayed on the display unit 50a and the lower part of the button image G12c. The operation promotion image G13 that prompts the continuous pressing operation of the normal button 40 is displayed. After that, when the normal button 40 is repeatedly hit during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period elapses without the normal button 40 being repeatedly hit during the button operation valid period, the special figure 2 changes. When the pattern is "confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 29 (D), the scene where the main character stands up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are the above-mentioned "big hit winning". (For example, doublet of "5.5.5") is changed to suggest a stop display. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 29 (E), a scene in which the main character cannot stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the staging symbols EZ1 and EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in the mode suggesting the loss (for example, the reach loss of "5, 6, 5").

"Resurrection production B" is a production that may be performed after the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in "Settlement Reach". After that, since the jackpot game may be performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game may be performed.

The “revival effect B” is performed when the effect control microcomputer 121 selects “decision / revival jackpot variation” or “decision / revival loss variation” as the special figure 2 variation pattern. Similar to "Settlement Reach", "Resurrection Production B" may be performed in the 101st or later special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH Mode" or "RUSH Mode", but in other special figure fluctuation productions, it is performed. I can't.

In the "revival effect B", the button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as in the above-mentioned "revival effect A", the non-translucent button image G12c is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the button image G12c is displayed. An operation promotion image G13 that prompts a continuous operation of the normal button 40 is displayed at the lower part (see FIG. 29 (C)). After that, the special figure 2 changes after the button operation valid period elapses in response to the repeated hitting operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period or without the normal button 40 being repeatedly hit during the button operation valid period. When the pattern is "Settlement / Resurrection jackpot fluctuation", the scene where the main character stands up is displayed on the display unit 50a (see FIG. 29 (D)). Then, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change to a mode suggesting the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, doublets of "5, 5, 5") and are stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "settlement / resurrection loss fluctuation", a scene in which the main character cannot stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 suggest a loss ( For example, the stop display is performed with the reach loss of "5, 6, 5") (see FIG. 29 (E)).

"Resurrection production C" is a production that may be performed after the main character fails in a mission in "branch production". After that, since the time saving state may continue, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may continue. Further, since the jackpot game may be performed after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game may be performed.

For the "revival effect C", "branch / revival jackpot variation", "branch / revival / success loss variation" or "branch / revival / failure loss variation" is selected as the special figure 2 variation pattern by the effect control microcomputer 121. It is done when. Like the "branch effect", the "revival effect C" may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", but is not performed in other special figure variation effects.

30 (A) to 30 (D) are diagrams showing how the “revival effect C” is performed. In the "revival effect C", the button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. 30A, the button image G12c and the operation promotion image G13 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and the main character is displayed. Is displayed to re-challenge the mission to open the door. After that, the special figure 2 changes after the button operation valid period elapses in response to the repeated hitting operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period or without the normal button 40 being repeatedly hit during the button operation valid period. When the pattern is "branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 30B, the jackpot suggestion image G15 is displayed on the display unit 50a together with the scene where the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission. The "big hit announcement production" described later will be performed. At this time, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting the above-mentioned "big hit winning" (for example, doublets of "5, 5, 5"). On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern in Special Figure 2 is "branch / revival / success loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 30 (C), it is suggested that the main character opens the door and succeeds in the mission. The image G16 is displayed on the display unit 50a. At this time, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a loss (for example, a random number of "1, 2, 3"). Further, when the fluctuation pattern in Special Figure 2 is "branch / revival / failure loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 30 (D), the display unit shows a scene in which the main character cannot open the door and fails in the mission. A super RUSH end suggestion image G17 (specifically, a character image of the character string "end") displayed on 50a and suggesting that the "super RUSH mode" ends is displayed. At this time, the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a loss (for example, a random number of "1, 2, 3").

6-2-7. Big hit notification effect The "big hit announcement effect" is an effect that may be performed after the main character has succeeded in the mission in the above-mentioned "branch effect" or "revival effect C". After that, since the jackpot game is performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game is performed. Specifically, the jackpot suggestion image G15 (specifically, the character image of the character string “big hit”) showing that the jackpot game is performed, which is shown in FIGS. 27 (B) and 30 (B), is displayed. It is a production.

6-2-8. Resurrection fanning effect The "revival fanning effect" is an effect that may be performed after the main character is defeated by an enemy character (or a strong enemy character) during the above-mentioned "confrontation reach" (or "settlement reach"). In other words, the "revival fanning effect" is an effect that can be executed at the end of the above-mentioned "confrontation reach" or "final reach". The revival fanning effect that can be executed at the end of "confrontation reach" is called "revival fanning effect A", and the revival fanning effect that can be executed at the end of "final reach" is called "revival fanning effect B".

"Resurrection fanning effect A" is an effect that may be performed after the main character is defeated by an enemy character in "confrontation reach", and is an effect in which the image of the normal button 40 is faded in. After that, since the above-mentioned "revival effect A" may be performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the "revival effect A" may be performed.

In the "revival fanning effect A", as shown in FIG. 29 (A), semi-transparent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right of the display unit 50a, respectively, and the two button images G12a and G12b appear. A fade-in display is made that moves toward the center. After that, as shown in FIG. 29B, when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display unit 50a, the above-mentioned "revival effect A" is performed. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 31 (A) and 31 (B), when the two button images G12a and G12b do not overlap at the center of the display unit 50a after the fade-in display, the "revival effect A" is performed. I can't.

The "revival fanning effect B" is an effect that may be performed after the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in the "settlement reach", and is an effect in which the image of the normal button 40 is faded in. Since the "revival effect B" may be performed after that, it functions as an effect suggesting that the "revival effect B" may be performed.

In the "revival fanning effect B", as shown in FIG. 29 (A), the translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 are displayed from the left and right of the display unit 50a, as in the above-mentioned "revival fanning effect B". A fade-in display is performed in which the two button images G12a and G12b appear respectively and move toward the center. After that, as shown in FIG. 29 (B), when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display unit 50a, the above-mentioned "revival effect B" is performed. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 31 (A) and 31 (B), when the two button images G12a and G12b do not overlap at the center of the display unit 50a after the fade-in display, the "revival effect B" is performed. I can't.

6-2-9. Effect flow of special figure variation effect Next, the effect flow of the special figure variation effect including each of the above-mentioned effects will be described. The staging control microcomputer 121 displays an staging image on the display unit 50a in each staging constituting the staging flow, and depending on the display of the staging image, a light emitting staging using a frame lamp 53 or a board lamp 54 and a speaker. It is possible to perform a sound effect using 52.

In the special figure variation effect in which the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is “immediate jackpot variation”, as shown in FIG. 32 (A), an effect flow composed of “normal variation” → “big hit confirmed effect” is executed.

Special Figure 2 In the special figure fluctuation production where the fluctuation pattern is "confrontation jackpot fluctuation" and "confrontation loss fluctuation", as shown in Fig. 32 (B), it is composed of "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "confrontation reach". The staging flow is executed. In addition, in the "confrontation reach" of the "confrontation loss fluctuation", the "revival fanning production A" may be performed.

Special Figure 2 In the special figure fluctuation production where the fluctuation pattern is "confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation" and "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation", as shown in Fig. 32 (C), "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "confrontation reach" "→" Resurrection production A "is executed. In addition, in the "confrontation reach" of "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation" and "confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation", "resurrection fanning production A" may be performed.

In the special figure variation effect in which the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is "branch jackpot variation" and "branch / success loss variation", as shown in FIG. 32 (D), an effect flow consisting only of "branch effect" is executed. To.

As shown in FIG. 32 (E), in the special figure fluctuation production of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern of "branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", "branch / resurrection / success loss fluctuation", and "branch / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation". An effect flow consisting of "branch effect" → "revival effect C" is executed.

In the special figure fluctuation effect in which the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is "decision jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 32 (F), the effect flow composed of "normal variation" → "reach" → "decision reach" is executed. To.

Special Figure 2 In the special figure fluctuation production where the fluctuation pattern is "Settlement / Resurrection jackpot fluctuation" and "Settlement / Resurrection loss fluctuation", as shown in Fig. 32 (G), "Normal fluctuation" → "Reach" → "Settlement reach" "→" Resurrection production B "is executed. In addition, in the "Settlement reach" of "Settlement / Resurrection jackpot fluctuation" and "Settlement / Resurrection loss fluctuation", "Resurrection fanning production B" may be performed.

In the special figure variation effect in which the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is "result jackpot variation" and "result loss variation", as shown in FIG. 32 (H), an effect flow composed only of "result effect" is executed.

In the special figure variation effect in which the variation pattern of the special figure 2 is "normal A loss variation" and "normal B loss variation", an effect flow (not shown) composed of only "normal variation" is executed.

Next, the relationship between the "confrontation reach" and the "super RUSH mode" and the relationship between the "final reach" and the "super RUSH mode" will be described. "Confrontation reach" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH mode", but even if the main character is defeated by the enemy character in "Confrontation reach" (Production pattern EZ1, Even if EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), the "super RUSH mode" does not end. On the other hand, "Settlement Reach" may be performed in the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but when the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in "Settlement Reach" (Production Designs EZ1, EZ2, If the main character does not stand up in the subsequent "Resurrection Production B" (when EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests loss) (the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 must change to the mode that suggests the above "big hit winning". ), "Super RUSH mode" ends. In other words, the ease of ending the time-saving state differs depending on whether a loss occurs after the "confrontation reach" or a loss after the "final reach". In the present embodiment, it is easier to end the time saving state when the loss occurs after the "final reach" than when the loss occurs after the "confrontation reach". Therefore, it can be said that the “confrontation reach” has a relatively low anxiety about the end of the time-saving state, and the “settlement reach” has a relatively high anxiety about the end of the time-saving state.

Next, the relationship between the "revival effect A" and the "super RUSH mode" and the relationship between the "revival effect B" and the "super RUSH mode" will be described. "Resurrection production A" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation productions in the "super RUSH mode", but even if the main character cannot stand up in "Resurrection production A" (production symbols EZ1, EZ2). , Even if EZ3 is stopped and displayed in the mode suggesting loss), the "super RUSH mode" does not end. On the other hand, "Resurrection Production B" may be performed in the 101st or later special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH Mode", but if the main character cannot stand up in "Resurrection Production B" (Production Designs EZ1, EZ2, EZ3). Is stopped and displayed in the mode suggesting a loss), the "super RUSH mode" ends. That is, the ease of ending the time saving state differs depending on whether the loss occurs after the "revival effect A" or the loss after the "revival effect B". In the present embodiment, it is easier to end the time saving state when the loss occurs after the "revival effect B" than when the loss occurs after the "revival effect A". Therefore, it can be said that "Resurrection Staging A" has a relatively low sense of anxiety about the end of the time saving state, and "Resurrection Staging B" has a relatively high sense of anxiety about the end of the time saving state.

Next, the relationship between "Resurrection Fan Production A" and "Resurrection Production A" and the relationship between "Resurrection Fan Production B" and "Resurrection Production B" will be described. "Resurrection fanning effect A" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation production in "super RUSH mode", but "Resurrection fanning effect A" is performed after "Resurrection fanning effect A". Sometimes it doesn't happen. On the other hand, "Resurrection fanning effect B" may be performed in the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH mode", but "Resurrection fanning effect B" is always performed after "Resurrection fanning effect B". .. That is, the probability that the "revival effect A" or the "revival effect B" is executed differs depending on whether the "revival effect A" is performed or the "revival effect B" is performed. In the present embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the "revival fanning effect B" than after the "revival fanning effect A". Therefore, it can be said that "Resurrection fanning production A" has a relatively low expectation for "Resurrection production A", and "Resurrection fanning production B" has a relatively high expectation for "Resurrection production B".

Next, the relationship between the "big hit announcement effect", the "branch effect", and the "revival effect C" will be described. The "big hit notification effect" may be performed in the "branch effect" or the "revival effect C", but it is difficult to perform in the "branch effect" and easily performed in the "revival effect C". That is, the probability that the "big hit notification effect" is performed differs between the "branch effect" and the "revival effect C". In the present embodiment, the execution probability of the "revival effect C" is higher than that of the "branch effect". Therefore, it can be said that the "branch effect" has a relatively low expectation for the "big hit announcement effect", and the "revival effect C" has a relatively high expectation for the "big hit announcement effect".

Next, the relationship between the "confrontation reach" and the "revival production A" and the relationship between the "settlement reach" and the "revival production B" will be described. "Confrontation reach" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH mode", but when the main character is defeated by the enemy character in "Confrontation reach" (production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3) Is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), and then "Resurrection effect A" may or may not be performed. On the other hand, "Settlement Reach" may be performed in the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but even if the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in "Settlement Reach" (Production Designs EZ1, EZ2, Even if the EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), the "revival effect B" is always performed after that. That is, the probability that "Resurrection Production A" or "Resurrection Production B" is executed differs depending on whether the "confrontation reach" suggests a loss or the "settlement reach" suggests a loss. In the present embodiment, the execution probability is higher when the loss is suggested by the "final reach" than when the loss is suggested by the "confrontation reach". Therefore, it can be said that "confrontation reach" has a relatively low expectation for "revival production A", and "final reach" has a relatively high expectation for "revival production B".

Next, the relationship between "confrontation reach" and "final reach" will be explained. "Confrontation reach" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation production in "super RUSH mode", but even if the result of the fall judgment is "fall winning", it is "falling non-winning". However, "confrontation reach" may be held. On the other hand, "Settlement reach" is performed in the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH mode", but if the result of the fall judgment is "Fall non-winning", "Settlement reach" is performed. However, the "decision reach" is performed only when the result of the fall determination is "fall winning". In other words, when the result of the fall determination related to the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode" is "fall winning" and the fall related to the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode". The probability that the reach effect will be executed differs depending on whether the judgment result is "falling win". In this embodiment, the 101st and subsequent special figures in the "super RUSH mode" are more than the case where the result of the fall determination related to the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode" is "fall winning". The execution probability is higher when the result of the fall determination related to the fluctuation effect is "fall winning". Therefore, it can be said that the "confrontation reach" has a relatively low anxiety about switching to the normal probability state, and the "settlement reach" has a relatively high anxiety about switching to the normal probability state.

6-3. Jackpot effect mode The effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment executes the following "first jackpot effect", "second jackpot effect", and "special jackpot effect" in the jackpot effect mode when the jackpot game state is set. It is possible.

6-3-3. Special jackpot effect The "special jackpot effect" is an effect that can be executed in the jackpot effect mode set during the execution of the "big hit game W10" among the above-mentioned jackpot games. Specifically, when the stop symbol of the second special figure becomes the "big hit W10 symbol" during the setting of the low-probability high-base gaming state of "falling" from the high-probability high-base gaming state, it accompanies the jackpot game W10. It is a production performed by. Therefore, the "special jackpot effect" functions as an effect to notify the player that the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning" in the game state of "falling" during the setting of the above "super RUSH mode". do. Further, in the number of rounds, it functions as an effect of notifying the player that a jackpot game that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game W4 is being performed. That is, the special jackpot effect is changed from the high-probability high-base gaming state (first gaming state) as the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" (the result of the second determination is the change of the gaming state). This is an effect suggesting that the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning" (the result of the first determination is the jackpot) during the setting of the low-probability high-based gaming state (second gaming state).

In the "special jackpot production", first, the execution of the jackpot game W10 is started, and the title image G308 showing the character string "super lucky bonus" is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. 36 (A), and the above right-handed stroke.

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

(1) Setting a low-probability high-base game state in which it is difficult for the result of the big-hit judgment to be a "big-hit win" instead of a high-probability high-base game state in which the result of the big-hit judgment is likely to be relative to the "big hit win" due to the execution of the special jackpot effect. It is possible to make the player realize that the "big hit win" has been achieved.

(2) Further, in the super RUSH mode production, even if the setting of the gaming state is not changed from the high probability high base gaming state to the low probability high base gaming state, the result of the fall determination is "fall winning". Even if the high-probability high-base game state is changed to the low-probability high-base game state, the execution continues until the variable display of the special figure (1st special figure, 2nd special figure) is performed 100 times after the big hit game. do. Therefore, when the high-probability high-base gaming state is changed to the low-probability high-base gaming state during the execution of the super RUSH mode production, it is difficult for the player to grasp that fact. Therefore, by executing the special jackpot effect, the player is surely realized that the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit winning" during the setting of the low-probability high-base gaming state in which it is difficult to be relatively relative to the "big hit winning". It is possible.

(3) In addition, by executing the special jackpot effect, the player realizes that the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit winning" during the setting of the low-probability high-base gaming state in which it is difficult to be relatively relative to the "big hit winning". In addition, it is possible to make the player recognize that the jackpot game W10, which has a larger number of rounds than the jackpot game W4, is being performed.

<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.

In the first embodiment, the opening effect in the jackpot effect mode is the "big hit effect" according to the present invention, but the round effect in the jackpot effect mode may be the jackpot effect. Further, the ending effect in the jackpot effect mode may be used as the jackpot effect.

Further, in the first embodiment, the high-probability high-base gaming state is set as the first gaming state, and the low-probability high-base gaming state is set as the second gaming state. However, the second gaming state may be a gaming state in which the result of the first determination is less likely to be a big hit than the first gaming state. For example, the high probability low base gaming state is set as the first gaming state, and the low probability low base gaming state is set. May be set as the second gaming state. Further, for example, the high-probability high-base gaming state may be set as the first gaming state, and the low-probability low-base gaming state may be set as the second gaming state. Further, for example, the high-probability low-base gaming state may be set as the first gaming state, and the low-probability high-base gaming state may be set as the second gaming state.

Further, in the first embodiment, after the jackpot game W10 or the jackpot game W4 (big hit game) is executed, when the high probability high base game state (first game state) is set, the super RUSH mode production (specific effect) is performed. Was configured to execute. However, after the jackpot game is executed, there may be a case where the specific effect is executed when the first game state is set and a case where the specific effect is not executed.

Further, in the first embodiment, the time when the predetermined condition for continuing the execution of the specific effect is satisfied is until the variable display of the special figure is performed 100 times after the big hit game, but as the time when the other conditions are satisfied. May be good. Specifically, for example, it may be when the result of the second determination is changed from the first gaming state to the second gaming state due to the change of the gaming state. Further, although the variable display of the special figure is performed up to 100 times, the number of times may be other than 100 times.

Further, in the first embodiment, the jackpot game W4 is referred to as the "first jackpot game" according to the present invention, and the jackpot game W10 is referred to as the "second jackpot game" according to the present invention. That is, in the big hit game, the one in which the number of rounds is relatively small is the first big hit game, and the one in which the number of rounds is relatively large is the second big hit game. However, for example, in a big hit game, even if the number of rounds is the same, a game in which the number of prize balls paid out is relatively small may be regarded as a first big hit game, and a game in which a relatively large number may be paid out as a second big hit game. Further, for example, a game in which the game state after the big hit game is set to a game state relatively disadvantageous to the player is set as the first big hit game, and a game state in which the game state is set to a game state relatively advantageous to the player is set as the second game. It may be a big hit game.

Further, in the first embodiment, the special jackpot effect is performed in a high-probability high-base gaming state (first) with the result of the fall determination being "fall winning" (the result of the second determination is a change in the gaming state). With a production that suggests that the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit winning" (the result of the first judgment is the jackpot) during the setting of the low-probability high-based gaming state (second gaming state) changed from the game state). did. However, the special jackpot effect may be simply different from the normal jackpot game.

Further, in the first embodiment, the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" (the result of the second determination is the change of the gaming state), so that the high probability high base gaming state (first gaming state) is changed. During the setting of the low-probability high-base gaming state (second gaming state), the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning" (the result of the first determination is the jackpot), and the result of the type determination is "big hit game W4" ( When the result of the determination is the first jackpot game), the second normal jackpot effect (normal jackpot effect) is performed when the first jackpot game is executed, while the result of the first determination is the jackpot and the type determination. When the result is "big hit game W10" (the result of the decision is the second big hit game), the special jackpot effect is performed when the second big hit game is executed. However, even when the result of the first determination is a big hit, the special big hit effect may be performed.

Further, in the first embodiment, the result of the fall determination is "fall winning" (the result of the second determination is the change of the gaming state), so that the high probability high base gaming state (first gaming state) is changed. During the setting of the low-probability high-base gaming state (second gaming state), the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit winning" (the result of the first determination is the jackpot), and the result of the type determination is "big hit game W10" ( When the result of the decision is the second jackpot game), the special jackpot effect is always performed when the second jackpot game is executed. However, as the result of the second determination is a change in the gaming state, the result of the first determination is a big hit and the result of the determination is the second during the setting of the second gaming state changed from the first gaming state. In the case of the jackpot game, there may be a case where the special jackpot effect is performed when the second jackpot game is executed and a case where the special jackpot effect is not performed when the second jackpot game is executed.

Further, in the first embodiment, the 3D liquid crystal display is used as the display unit 50a. However, for example, a 2D liquid crystal display, a dot display, a 7-segment display, or an LED lamp may be used as the display unit.

Further, in the first embodiment, the gaming machine is provided with one "display unit". However, for example, it may be a gaming machine provided with a plurality of display units.

Further, the time shown in each execution period shown in the first embodiment is an example, and may be other time.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the normal background image G102 is displayed in both the "low-probability low-base gaming state" and the "high-probability low-base gaming state", but the "low-probability low-base gaming state" is displayed. "And" high probability low base game state "may display different backgrounds. For example, in the "high-probability low-base gaming state", a background including an image suggesting that the high-probability state may be displayed.

Further, in the basic embodiment, only the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variablely displayed on the display unit 50a in parallel with the variable display of the special symbol, but in parallel with the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3. Other symbols may be variablely displayed on the display unit 50a. In this case, it is preferable that the size of the other symbols is smaller than the size of the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3.

Further, in the basic embodiment, only the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variablely displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 in parallel with the variable display of the special figure. In parallel with EZ3, other symbols may be variablely displayed on a display device other than the image display device 50. For example, a dedicated LED for variable display of other symbols may be installed on the game board 1 so that the dedicated LED blinks during the variable display of the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the first special figure and the second special figure are not variably displayed at the same time, and only one of them is variably displayed. However, the first special figure and the second special figure are different. At the same time, variable display may be performed.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the progress and the effect of the game are controlled by separate control units, but the progress and the effect of the game may be controlled by one control unit. .. For example, both the progress and the effect of the game may be controlled only by the main control unit 100.

It is also possible to apply the gaming machine of the present invention to other bullet gaming machines such as an arrange ball machine and a sparrow ball gaming machine.
