In the game area 6, a first start winning device 11D formed with a first start opening 11 into which a game ball can enter, and a second start winning device 11D that enables or disables entry into the second start opening 12. A device (a so-called “electric chew”) 12D is provided.

The first start winning device 11D is stationary. Therefore, the first starting port 11 is constant (unchangeable) without changing the ease with which a game ball enters. The winning of the game ball to the first start port 11 is the lottery of the first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1") (acquisition and determination of special figure 1 related random numbers described later: hereinafter, "special figure 1 lottery" ) and the variable display of special figure 1. Also, when a game ball enters the first starting hole 11, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

The electric chew 12D has an actuatable electric chew opening/closing member 12k. The electric chew opening/closing member 12k is normally (in a normal state) in a closed position where entry of a game ball into the second starting port 12 is impossible or extremely difficult. Then, when the special state is reached, the game ball moves to the open position where the game ball can be entered into the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加In this way, the movement of the electric chew opening/closing member 12k to the open position is also referred to as the “open state” of the second starting port 12 or the electric chew 12D. It is possible to enter the ball. On the other hand, the fact that the electric tube opening/closing member 12k is in the closed position is also referred to as the "closed state" of the second starting port 12 or the electric tube 12D. In addition, when the second starting port 12 or the electric tube 12D is in the "open state", it is also called "the electric tube 12D opens", and when the electric tube 12D is in the "closed state", it is called "the electric tube 12D is closed". ” is also called.

The winning of the game ball to the second start port 12 is the lottery of the second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2") (acquisition and determination of special figure 2 related random numbers described later: hereinafter, "special figure 2 lottery" ) and the variable display of special figure 2. Also, when a game ball enters the second starting port 12, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, the game area 6 is provided with a general prize winning opening 10 into which game balls can enter. When game balls enter the general winning hole 10, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, the game area 6 is provided with a gate 13 through which game balls can pass. Passage of the game ball through the gate 13 is the trigger for the normal pattern (hereinafter referred to as "normal pattern") lottery (that is, normal pattern random number acquisition and determination: hereinafter referred to as "normal pattern lottery") and the variable display of the normal pattern. It's becoming The power chew 12D is released by executing the auxiliary game. That is, the auxiliary game is a game accompanied by the opening of the electric chew 12D.

Also, the game area 6 is provided with a first big winning device 14D (hereinafter also referred to as "normal AT 14D") having a first big winning hole 14 into which a game ball can enter.

The first big prize winning device 14D has a normal AT opening/closing member 14k that can be operated in an open state and a closed state. The normal AT opening/closing member 14k is operated to open/close the first big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加Normally, the AT opening/closing member 14k is normally in a closed state to block the first big winning hole 14, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加When the normal AT opening/closing member 14k operates in the open state, it becomes possible for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加In this way, it is possible for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole 14 only when the normal AT opening/closing member 14k is in the open state. When game balls enter the first big winning hole 14, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, the game area 6 is provided with a guiding stage 12g that guides the game ball to the second starting port 12. As shown in FIG. In addition, the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the guidance stage 12g can flow down toward the second starting port 12. As shown in FIG.

Further, the game area 6 is provided with a second big winning device 15D (hereinafter also referred to as "VAT 15D") having a second big winning opening 15 into which a game ball can enter. The second big winning device 15D has an operable VAT opening/closing member 15k. The VAT opening/closing member 15k normally closes the second big winning hole 15, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 15.例文帳に追加The VAT opening/closing member 15k can be in an open state. When the VAT opening/closing member 15k is in an open state, it becomes easy for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 15.例文帳に追加On the other hand, the state in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k closes the second big winning opening 15 is also called "closed state". In this manner, the second big winning opening 15 is opened and closed by the operation of the VAT opening/closing member 15k. When game balls enter the second big winning hole 15, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the second big winning device 15D will be described in detail. Inside the second big winning device 15D, a gate-shaped second big winning hole sensor 15a capable of detecting a game ball entering the second big winning hole 15 and allowing the game ball to pass downward is provided. It is

A specific area 16 through which a game ball can pass (enter) and a non-specific area 17 are provided in the downstream area of the second big winning hole sensor 15a. A game ball that has passed through the second big winning hole sensor 15a is sorted into a specific area 16 or a non-specific area 17 by a sorting device 16D. The distribution device 16D includes a distribution member 16k made of a substantially rectangular flat plate, and a distribution solenoid 16s that drives the distribution member 16k. The distribution member 16k is configured to be slidable left and right by driving a distribution solenoid 16s.

When the distribution solenoid 16s is not energized, the distribution member 16k is in the first state (passage prevention state: the left end of the distribution member 16k in the front view of FIG. 3A) that prevents passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is positioned slightly to the right of the left end of the specific region 16, and the distribution member 16k covers the specific region 16 directly above it). When the sorting member 16k is in the first state, it is impossible or extremely impossible for the game ball that has won the second big winning hole 15 to pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second big winning hole sensor 15a. It is difficult and passes through the non-specific area 17 . The route of the game ball flowing down from the second big winning hole 15 to the non-specific area 17 is called a first route.

On the other hand, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is in a second state (passage permission state: swinging in the front view of FIG. The left end of the dividing member 16k is positioned slightly to the left of the right end of the specific region 16, the distribution member 16k does not cover the specific region 16 directly above it, and the specific region 16 is open directly above it). When the distribution member 16k is in the second state, the game ball that has won the second big winning hole 15 can easily pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second big winning hole sensor 15a. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second big winning port 15 to the specific area 16 is called a second route.

Basically, the distribution member 16k is held in the first state. That is, it can be said that the first state is the normal state of the distribution member 16k. Only in a predetermined round game (for example, 10R), the distribution solenoid 16s is energized and can be changed to the second state.

The specific area 16 and the non-specific area 17 are provided with a specific area sensor 16a and a non-specific area sensor 17a that detect game balls passing through (entering) the respective areas 16 and 17 and pass the game balls downward. .

Only one of the first big winning device 14D and the second big winning device 15D can be provided as long as the game is not hindered.

Also, at substantially the bottom of the game area 6, there are provided two out holes 19 for discharging the game balls that have been hit into the game area 6 but have not won in any of the winning holes to the outside of the game area 6. there is Also, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

By the way, the game area 6 in which game balls can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side of the center in the horizontal direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k that shoots the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is called "left hitting". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that shoots the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is called "right hitting". In the pachinko game machine PY1, a flow path through which a game ball can flow down when a game ball is shot left-handed is called a first flow path R1, and a game ball flows down when a game ball is shot right-handed. A possible flow path is referred to as the second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also composed of a large number of game nails and the like.

A first starting port 11 and two general winning ports 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim to win the first starting hole 11 or the general winning hole 10 by shooting the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by hitting to the left. On the other hand, a second starting port 12, a gate 13, a first big winning port 14, and a second big winning port 15 are provided on the second flow path R2. Therefore, the player shoots the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting to the right, thereby passing the gate 13, the second starting port 12, the first big winning port 14, or the second It is possible to aim to win a prize to the big prize opening 15.例文帳に追加

In addition, game balls that did not enter any of the winning openings (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12, general winning opening 10, first big winning opening 14, and second big winning opening 15) It is guided to the out port 19 and discharged. Also, the number of winning balls to be awarded to each winning hole can be appropriately set.

In addition, a display device 8 is arranged below and to the left of the game area 6 formed on the front surface of the game board 1 (part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, the display devices 8 include a special figure 1 indicator 81a that variably displays the special figure 1, a special figure 2 indicator 81b that variably displays the special figure 2, and a general figure that is variably displayed. A normal map display 82 is included. In addition, the display device 8 has a special figure 1 reservation indicator 83a that displays the number of special figures 1 pending (U1: the number of variable display of the special figure 1 by the special figure 1 indicator 81a is suspended), which will be described later. And the special figure 2 reservation indicator 83b which displays the special figure 2 reservation number (U2: the number that the variable display of the special figure 2 by the special figure 2 indicator 81b is withheld) which will be described later is included.

The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed with the winning of the game ball to the first start port 11 as a trigger. In addition, the variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed with the winning of the game ball to the second start port 12 as a trigger. In the following description, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are collectively called the special figure, and the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery are collectively called the special figure lottery. In addition, the special figure 1 indicator 81a and the special figure 2 indicator 81b are collectively referred to as the special figure indicator 81. Furthermore, the special figure 1 reservation indicator 83a and the special figure 2 reservation indicator 83b are collectively referred to as the special figure reservation indicator 83.

The variable display of the special figure notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the variable display of the special figure, it is stopped and displayed after the special figure is variably displayed. The special figure to be stopped and displayed (stop special figure, special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one special figure selected from a plurality of kinds of special figures by a special figure lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, i.e., a jackpot pattern), the big winning openings (the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15) are opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed.

The special figure indicator 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure according to the result of the special figure lottery by its lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a jackpot (one of a plurality of types of jackpots described later), the special drawing indicator 81 displays "□□■■□□■■" (□: lighting, ■ : off), the jackpot pattern consisting of the lighting of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special figure lottery is a loss, the special figure indicator 81 displays a losing pattern composed of lighting only the rightmost LED, such as "■■■■■■■□". do. In addition, the lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited, and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all the LEDs may be extinguished as a lost pattern.

Moreover, in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the special figure is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. The aspect of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, the aspect in which each LED is lit so that the light flows repeatedly from left to right. In addition, the aspect of the variable display of the special figure is not particularly limited, and if each LED is not displayed (lighting display in a specific aspect), all LEDs may be set as appropriate, such as blinking all at once.

By the way, in the pachinko game machine PY1, when a game ball enters the first start hole 11 or the second start hole 12, various random numbers (numerical information and judgment information) for performing special lottery etc. example) may be acquired. In addition, when there is a winning (entering ball) of the game ball to the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, various random numbers (an example of numerical information and judgment information) for performing special drawing lottery etc. are acquired. This corresponds to "establishment of a predetermined condition". These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers obtained by winning (entering the game ball) to the first start port 11 are referred to as "special figure 1 related random numbers", and winning the game ball to the second start port 12 Various random numbers obtained by (entry) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special figure 1 relation random number is stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 as the special figure 1 reservation. On the other hand, the special figure 2 relation random number is stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 as the special figure 2 reservation.

3. Principal Games Performed by Gaming Machine Next, the principal games performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 15. FIG.

3-1. Games Related to Universal Figures First, games related to universal charts will be described. The pachinko game machine PY1 conducts a normal drawing lottery when the shot game ball passes through the gate 13. - 特許庁When the general pattern lottery is performed, the general pattern display device 82 performs variable display of the general pattern (stop display after performing variable display). Here, the normal symbols to be stopped and displayed include winning symbols and losing symbols. In addition, the losing pattern of the normal map is also called "losing universal map" in order to distinguish it from the losing pattern of the special pattern, which will be described later. When the winning symbols are stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the losing normal figure is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to passing through the gate 13 ends. Also, in the following, when the variable display of the normal pattern or the auxiliary game is not performed, the game ball passing through the gate 13 is referred to as "establishment of the normal pattern fluctuation start condition".

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a general-pattern related random number when a general-pattern fluctuation start condition is satisfied in performing such a series of games (normal-pattern lottery, variable display of the general-pattern, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 8(A), normal pattern random numbers are included in general pattern related random numbers to be obtained. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for performing a hit determination. Each random number is appropriately bounded.

3-1-1. Hit Judgment Hit judgment is a judgment for determining whether or not there is a hit (whether or not an auxiliary game is executed) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 9(A). The hit determination table can be associated with a game state, which will be described later. That is, the game state includes a non-time-saving state and a time-saving state, and the hit determination table used in the non-time-saving state (non-time-saving hit determination table) and the time-saving state hit determination table (for time-saving It is possible to distinguish between the hit determination table) and the In each hit determination table, the determination value of the normal symbol random number (normal symbol random number) is distributed to the hit and the loss, which are the results of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko game machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random numbers with the hit determination table, and performs hit determination as to whether it is a hit or a miss. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination for performing the variable display of the normal pattern is performed. If the result of the hit determination is hit, basically, the hit pattern is displayed in a variable display of the normal pattern and stopped. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is a loss, basically, the lost normal figure is stopped and displayed in variable display of the normal figure. Also, the probability of winning a prize can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. Normal figure fluctuation Normal figure fluctuation pattern determination is a determination for determining a normal figure fluctuation pattern using one or more normal figure fluctuation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9(B). The normal pattern fluctuation pattern is identification information related to predetermined matters related to the variable display of the normal pattern, such as the normal pattern fluctuation time.

Normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table, the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table (non-shorter normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time saving state, and the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table used in the short time state ( It is possible to distinguish between time-saving normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table).

In each normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table, one normal pattern fluctuation pattern, which is the result of the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each normal pattern to be stopped. That is, the pachinko game machine PY1 can vary the normal figure fluctuation time between the non-time saving state and the time saving state. For example, in a non-time-saving state, for the variable display of the normal figure when stopping the normal figure of loss (losing general figure), the normal figure fluctuation time is determined to be a normal figure fluctuation pattern, for example, 30 seconds, and the winning pattern For the variable display of the normal pattern in the case of stop display, the normal pattern fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds. In addition, in the time-saving state, for the variable display of the normal pattern when the losing normal pattern is stopped and displayed, the normal pattern fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 5 seconds. For the variable display of the figure, a normal figure fluctuation pattern is determined in which the normal figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The variable display of the normal pattern fluctuation time associated with the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determined by this determination is performed by the normal pattern display device 82 . In addition, it is possible to appropriately change these normal pattern fluctuation times. In this way, by performing the hit determination and the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination, the normal pattern display device 82 performs variable display of the normal pattern.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game Auxiliary game is a variable display of the general pattern, and as a display result (the result of the general pattern lottery), it is executed when the winning design is stopped and displayed (derived).

Auxiliary games include elements (auxiliary game components) that constitute the auxiliary game, that is, various elements such as the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened and the opening time for each opening. Each of these elements is associated with a game state. The pachinko game machine PY1 controls the auxiliary game using one or more auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9(C) based on the game state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Each auxiliary game control table stores auxiliary game components. Also, the number of times of opening and the opening time in each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

The pachinko game machine PY1 can vary the opening time of the electric chew 12D between the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state and the auxiliary game in the time saving state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time-saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened only for the first opening time (time (for example, 0.08 seconds) in which it is difficult for the game ball to win the electric chew 12D). In the following, the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state is also referred to as "short open auxiliary game". In addition, in the auxiliary game in the time-saving state, the electric chew 12D is held for a second opening time longer than the first opening time (a time (for example, 3.00 seconds) that makes it easy for the game ball to win the electric chew 12D). Open. In addition, below, the auxiliary game in the time saving state is also referred to as "long opening auxiliary game".

3-2. Games Related to Special Figures Next, games related to special figures will be described. The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a special figure 1 lottery when the launched game ball wins the first start hole 11.例文帳に追加When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 variable display (stopped display after performing the variable display) is performed on the special figure 1 display device 81a to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, the stop-displayed special figure 1 includes a jackpot symbol and a losing symbol. That is, the results of the special figure 1 lottery include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbols are stop-displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is finished. On the other hand, when the losing symbol is stopped and displayed, the big win game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is finished.

Similarly, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a special figure 2 lottery when the launched game ball wins the second start hole 12. - 特許庁When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 variable display (stop display after performing the variable display) is performed in the special figure 2 display device 81b to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, the stop-displayed special figure 2 includes a big hit pattern and a losing pattern. That is, the results of the special figure 2 lottery include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbols are stop-displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the win is finished. On the other hand, when the losing symbol is stopped and displayed, the big winning game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is finished.

In the following, the winning of the game ball in the first starting port 11 is referred to as "establishment of the first starting condition", and the winning of the game ball in the second starting opening 12 is referred to as "establishment of the second starting condition". It says. Also, "satisfaction of the first starting condition" and "satisfaction of the second starting condition" are collectively referred to as "satisfaction of the starting condition". In addition, the special design losing pattern is also called "loss special pattern" to distinguish it from the above-mentioned normal pattern losing pattern.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special figure-related random number when the starting condition is established in performing such a series of games (special figure lottery, variable display of special figures, jackpot game, game state setting), Various decisions are made on random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special symbol-related random numbers to be acquired include special symbol random numbers (jackpot random numbers), jackpot symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special symbol variation pattern random numbers. The special symbol random number is a random number for judging the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for judging the jackpot symbol type. A reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special symbol variation pattern random number is a random number for determining the variation pattern of the special symbol. Each random number is appropriately bounded. Note that the random number is also called determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot Judgment Jackpot judgment is a judgment for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether or not to execute a jackpot game) using one or a plurality of jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. 10(A). The game state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with whether it is the normal probability state or the high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, a jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and a jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table) can be distinguished. It is possible.

In each jackpot determination table, a judgment value (special symbol random number value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot and loss, which are the results of the jackpot determination. The pachinko game machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random number with a big win determination table to determine whether it is a big win or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10(A), the high-probability jackpot determination table has more special symbol random number determination values that are determined to be a jackpot than the normal-probability jackpot determination table. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the jackpot.

3-2-2. Jackpot pattern type determination The jackpot pattern type determination is, when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, uses one or more jackpot pattern type determination tables as shown in FIG. ) is a judgment for determining For each type of jackpot symbol, it is possible to associate the content of the jackpot, in other words, the constituent elements of the jackpot constituted by the game privilege given to the player.

The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the starting port where the winning caused by the jackpot symbol type determination (that generated the jackpot symbol type determination) was performed. is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1, and the jackpot used when performing the variable display of the special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish from the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

There are multiple types of jackpot patterns, and in each jackpot pattern type determination table, the judgment value of the jackpot pattern type random number (jackpot pattern type random number) is distributed to the jackpot pattern type that is the result of the jackpot pattern type determination. there is Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired jackpot design type random number with the jackpot design type determination table to determine the type of the jackpot design. In the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type random numbers are appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type. Also, the types of jackpot symbols can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10(B), the allocation rate of the jackpot pattern type by the jackpot pattern type determination for the special pattern 1 is set to 50% for the jackpot pattern X and 50% for the jackpot pattern Y, and for the special pattern 2 It is possible for the jackpot pattern Z to make the distribution rate of the jackpot pattern type determined by the jackpot pattern type determination 100%. In this way, in the special figure 1 lottery performed by winning the game ball in the first start port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed by winning the game ball in the second start port 12, the swing of the jackpot symbol type Different fractions are possible.

3-2-3. Reach determination Reach determination, when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, uses one or more reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a judgment for determining whether

The reach determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, the reach determination table (non-time-saving reach determination table) used in the non-time-saving state and the reach determination table (time-saving reach determination table) used in the time-saving state are distinguished. It is possible.

In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination value (reach random value) is distributed to the reach determination results "with reach (generate reach)" and "without reach (not generate reach)". . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not to generate reach). As shown in FIG. 10(C), it is possible to change the number of reach random numbers determined to be “with reach (generate reach)” between the non-time-saving reach determination table and the time-saving reach determination table. is. In the following, "with reach (generate reach)", which is performed on the premise that the result of the jackpot judgment is "losing", is called "losing with reach", and "no reach (does not generate reach)". )” is sometimes referred to as “no reach”.

3-2-4. Toku-zu variation Toku-zu variation pattern determination uses one or more special symbol variation pattern determination table (special figure variation pattern determination table) as shown in FIGS. It is a determination for determining (special figure variation pattern), and is performed in any case of a big hit or a loss as a result of the big hit determination. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time and the production flow (production content) of the special figure fluctuation production described later. It should be noted that the special figure fluctuation pattern, in addition to the special figure fluctuation time and production flow (production content) of special figure fluctuation production, it is possible to include identification information regarding the result of jackpot determination and the result of reach determination. As a special figure variation pattern, it is possible to use a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns with different identification information, respectively, and the number can be changed as appropriate.

The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of special symbol that performs variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of starting opening where the winning caused by the special figure variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure variation pattern determination table, the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 1 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1, and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed It is possible to distinguish the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used when.

Each special figure variation pattern determination table can also be associated with the gaming state. That is, as a special figure 1 variation pattern determination table, a special figure 1 variation pattern determination table (special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for non-time saving) used in the non-time saving state, and a special figure 1 used in the time saving state It is possible to distinguish from the variation pattern determination table (time saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table is also used when the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for non-time saving) used in the non-time saving state and the time saving state It is possible to distinguish between special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (time saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table).

In addition, each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with the jackpot determination result, the jackpot symbol type determination result, or the reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the non-time-saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table each have a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a reach loss, and a reach loss loss. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the time-saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table each have a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), reach with loss, and reach without loss.

Furthermore, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for each reach no loss can be associated with the number of special figures pending. For example, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss used when the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is 0 to 2, and the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is used when it is 3 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss. In addition, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for each reach no loss can be associated with the number of special figures pending. For example, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss used when the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is 0 to 2, and the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is used when it is 3 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss.

Then, variable display of the special figure of the special figure variation time according to the special figure variation pattern determined by each special figure variation pattern determination is performed by the special figure display device 81. Then, in the special figure variable display, when the jackpot pattern is stopped and displayed as a display result (special figure lottery result), the next special figure variable display is not performed immediately, and the jackpot game is subsequently executed. be.

In addition, each special figure fluctuation pattern can be associated with the effect flow of the special figure fluctuation production as shown in the second column from the right of the table of FIGS. 11 and 12.

In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the table of FIGS. 11 and 12, the special figure fluctuation pattern can be named in association with the special figure (jackpot determination result) and the production contents of the special figure fluctuation production. be. For example, the special figure variation pattern related to the jackpot is called "jackpot variation". On the other hand, in the loss with reach, SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed. The figure fluctuation pattern is "L loss fluctuation", and in the loss with reach, the special fluctuation pattern where the special figure fluctuation effect ends with N reach, which is a type of reach, is "N loss fluctuation", and the loss without reach Such a special figure variation pattern is referred to as "normal loss variation".

3-2-5. Prefetching determination Pachinko game machine PY1 performs prefetching determination using one or a plurality of prefetching determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure-related random numbers. For the look-ahead determination, for example, determination of whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination, determination of which jackpot symbol type the jackpot symbol type random number is determined in the jackpot symbol type determination, special There is a determination of which special figure variation pattern the figure variation pattern random number is determined in the special figure variation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of starting opening related to the starting prize. That is, as the lookahead determination table, a lookahead determination table (first lookahead determination table) when winning the first start opening 11 and a lookahead determination table (second lookahead determination table) when winning the second start opening 12 are used. , can be distinguished.

Also, the look-ahead determination table can be associated with the game state. That is, as the prefetching determination table, the prefetching determination table used in the non-time-saving state (non-time-saving prefetching determination table) and the prefetching determination table used in the time-saving state (time-saving prefetching determination table) are distinguished. It is possible.

That is, the look-ahead determination table includes the first look-ahead determination table used in the non-time-saving state, the first look-ahead determination table used in the time-saving state, and the second look-ahead determination table used in the non-time-saving state. It is possible to distinguish between this and the second look-ahead determination table used in the time saving state. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination.

3-3. Jackpot Game Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes multiple round games with opening and closing of the jackpot (first jackpot 14 or second jackpot 15), and the time between the start of the jackpot game and the start of the first round game. It includes an opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the final round game to the end of the jackpot game. Each round begins with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round and ends with the beginning of the next round or the beginning of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP and ED. In addition, below, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as "round". For example, the first round game is called "1 round (1R)", and the tenth round game is called "10 rounds (10R)".

Elements that make up such a jackpot game (jackpot game components) include the number of round games, the number of openings of the big winning port (first big winning port 14 or second big winning port 15) in each round game, Includes the type and opening time of each opening (opening pattern), the time to close until the next opening (closing time), the opening time (opening time), and the ending time (ending time). ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or a plurality of jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. 14 after the stop display of the special figure. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As jackpot games, it is possible to control one type or a plurality of types of jackpot games.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 10R, the round game in which the first big winning hole 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or the first big winning hole 14 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. Then, in 10R (final round), there is a round game in which the second large prize winning port 15 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second large prize winning port 15 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. done. Further, in each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the big winning opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the big winning openings 14 and 15 elapses, End the round game.

Also, the number of times and time for each element can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, it is possible to perform the jackpot game using both the first big winning port 14 and the second big winning port 15 or using only one of them.

Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. Since the specific area 16 takes a closed state in which a prize cannot be won and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k, the operating mode of the distribution member 16k can be said to be the opening/closing mode of the specific area 16. FIG. Hereinafter, the operating mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as "opening/closing mode of the specific area 16". In this way, the distribution member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (a constant opening and closing mode of the specific region 16), but a constant operation mode of the distribution member 16k (a constant opening and closing mode of the specific region 16), The difficulty (easiness) of entering the game ball into the specific area 16 in the big win game is set in combination with the opening/closing mode of the second big winning hole 15 in the big win game. Note that hereinafter, the open state of the specific region 16 is also referred to as “V open”.

The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big prize opening is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3(B)). Therefore, in the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15 and the time and timing during which the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state Due to the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15, the time and Due to the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). In this way, in the jackpot game, during the jackpot game, the VAT opening and closing member with the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that makes it easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") The VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distribution member 16k operate, and in the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the big hit game in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V long open pattern is called "V long big hit". On the other hand, a big hit game in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is called "V short big hit".

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko machine PY1 has a "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state", "high probability high base game state" and " It is possible to make it into any game state of "jackpot game state". In addition, "low probability low base game state" is "low probability low base state", "low probability high base game state" is "low probability high base state", and "high probability low base game state" is "high probability". "Low base state" and "high probability high base gaming state" can be abbreviated as "high probability high base state", respectively. As states constituting the game state, there are a state related to the probability of being determined as a "big win" in the big win determination and a state related to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time-saving state and a time-saving state.

The normal probability state is set in the "low-probability low-base game state" or "low-probability high-base game state", and is a state in which the probability of being determined to be a big hit in the jackpot determination is a normal probability. The high-probability state is set in the "high-probability low-base game state" or "high-probability high-base game state", and is a state in which the probability of being judged as a big hit in the jackpot judgment is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high-probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal-probability state. When the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the normal probability state is set. Then, by winning a jackpot, it becomes possible to switch from the normal probability state to the high probability state. For example, it is possible to switch to a high probability state by passing a game ball through the specific area 16 in a jackpot game. It is also possible to switch to a high probability state depending on the type of the jackpot symbol. The high-probability state can be switched from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state by performing a predetermined number of jackpot determinations without winning the jackpot, or by winning the next jackpot.

The non-time saving state is set in the "low probability low base game state", "high probability low base game state" or "jackpot game state". The time saving state is set in the "low probability high base game state" or "high probability high base game state", and compared to the non-time saving state, the game state in which the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer. is. For example, in the time saving state, the opening time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the opening time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-time saving state. Also, in the time saving state, using the special figure variation pattern determination table that is determined so that the special figure variation pattern with a short special figure variation time is selected more than the non-time saving state, the special figure variation pattern determination is (See FIGS. 11 and 12). As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure reservation becomes faster, and the effective winning of the starting opening (the winning that can be stored as the special figure reservation) is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit under the smooth progress of the game.

Moreover, compared with a non-work-saving state, a time-saving state can make normal figure fluctuation|variation time short easily. For example, in the time saving state, the normal figure fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the normal figure fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-working time saving state is determined. Therefore, the time saving state has more execution times of the normal figure lottery per unit time.

In addition, it is possible to make it easier for the time saving state to be determined to be a hit in the hit determination as compared with the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, it is determined to be a hit with a probability (eg, 59936/65536) higher than the probability (eg, 6600/65536) determined to be a hit in the non-time saving state. Therefore, the time-saving state has a larger number of hit determinations per unit time.

Thus, in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time-saving state, and the game balls are likely to enter the second starting port 12 frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of balls awarded to the number of balls fired, increases. Therefore, in a time-saving state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a jackpot election without significantly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time-saving state is more advantageous to the player than the non-time-saving state.

When the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, a non-time-saving state is set. Then, for example, by winning a jackpot, a time saving state can be set. The time-saving state can be changed from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state by performing a predetermined number of big win determinations without winning the big win or by winning the next big win.

In addition, in the time-saving state, it is easier to win a win than in the non-time-saving state, the normal pattern fluctuation time is easy to be short, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is easy to be long. There are three points about the game related to the normal figure, which are set to be advantageous to the player. However, the points that are set in favor of this player may be some of them.

In addition, the game state after the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time is a "low-probability low-base game state" in which a normal probability state and a non-time-saving state are set. This game state is also called "normal game state". In addition, in the "jackpot game state", the hit determination is performed but the jackpot determination is not performed, so a non-time-saving state is set with the start of the jackpot game. As for the game state, it is possible to use all or part of the game states described above.

4. Main Effects by Game Machine Next, main effects performed by the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 22. FIG.

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The production mode is a division of production (or a higher-level attribute). The pachinko game machine PY1 can set, as production modes, a customer waiting production mode, a normal production mode, a variable probability production mode, a short working hours production mode and a jackpot production mode.

In the customer waiting production mode, a special variable production 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". It is a production mode that can be set when there is no special figure fluctuation production and indicates that it is in a standby state. When the customer waiting effect mode is set, a customer waiting effect (hereinafter also referred to as a demo effect) is performed. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-1), the settings related to the effect of the pachinko game machine PY1 (such as volume adjustment and custom distribution of LOGO effect (specific effect) described later) are set in the display unit 50a. A selection standby image G200 for performing is displayed. The settings related to the presentation include the volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, the customization of the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice displayed on the display unit 50a, and the hit share of the LOGO cut-in notice displayed on the display unit 50a. , customization of the reliability of the LOGO background notice displayed on the display unit 50a, and customization of the success rate of the LOGO background notice displayed on the display unit 50a. In addition, the brightness setting (“light amount setting”) of the display unit 50a may be included. In addition, as shown in FIG. 16A-2, a customer waiting demonstration image G202 different from the selected waiting image 200 may also be displayed. The customer waiting demonstration image G202 is an image that can be produced using the features of the pachinko gaming machine PY1, such as the appearance of the main character of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. As a result, it is possible to make the pachinko game machine PY1 stand out in the game hall where it is installed by enhancing the interest in the customer waiting production mode.

Normal production mode can be set when special figure fluctuation production is performed in "low probability low base game state" or "high probability low base game state", and it is a production mode indicating that it is a non-time saving state be. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-1, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain view is displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, as shown in FIG. 16(B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image (ordinary evening background image G103) representing the scenery of the mountains in the evening is displayed on the display unit 50a; As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (normal nighttime background image G104) representing a mountain view at night is displayed on the display unit 50a. It can be switched as one condition that the special figure fluctuation effect is performed once or more times. Further, each of the first to third normal performance modes includes a normal front-stage performance mode before reach is established and a normal rear-stage performance mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation performance. In the normal front stage effect mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the nighttime normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. A custom background image will be displayed. Also, a special performance mode that is set only in the "high probability low base game state" may be provided.

The probability variable production mode is a production mode that can be set when the special figure fluctuation production is performed in the "high probability high base game state", and is a production mode indicating that it is a high probability state and a time saving state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-4, a background image representing the universe (probability variation background image G105) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, the probability variation performance mode includes a probability variation front stage performance mode before the reach is established and a probability variation rear stage performance mode after the reach is established in the special figure fluctuation performance. In the variable probability front stage effect mode, the probability variable background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the variable probability latter stage effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

The time-saving performance mode is a performance mode that can be set when the special figure variation performance is performed in the "low-probability high-base game state", and is a performance mode indicating that it is a normal probability state and a time-saving state. In the time saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-5, a background image representing the sky (background image for time saving G106) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, the time reduction performance mode includes a time reduction front stage performance mode before reach is established and a time reduction rear stage performance mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation performance. In the time saving front stage production mode, the background image G106 for time saving is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the time saving rear stage production mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

The jackpot production mode is a production mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being performed in the "jackpot game state", and is a production mode indicating that the jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot production mode, for example, during the opening of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. A jackpot opening performance is performed in which a winning image G108 is displayed. During the round of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16(C-2), the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls paid out. A round production will be performed. During the ending of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3), the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of awarded balls are indicated on the display unit 50a. A jackpot ending production is performed in which the total prize number image G112 is displayed.

It should be noted that the types of production modes can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, the special figure fluctuation production (also simply referred to as "variation production") will be described. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special figure is started, the special figure variation pattern and the special figure lottery result related to the variable display of the special figure (jackpot determination result, jackpot pattern type determination result, reach determination result, and Based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result) etc., the special figure fluctuation production is executed. In the special figure variation effect, the variation display of the effect symbol is performed in the display unit 50a so as to be superimposed on a predetermined background image. The production pattern is composed of, for example, number patterns of 1 to 9, and in the variable display of the production pattern, the production pattern fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the production pattern with the end of the variable display of the special figure. stops. That is, after the special figure fluctuation time and the variable display of the effect design are performed, the variation is stopped and the stop display of the effect design is performed. Then, the result of the special figure lottery is informed by the stop display of the production pattern.

In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production, in addition to the fluctuation display of the production pattern, various functions such as the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the normal button 40, and the special button 41 It is possible to perform other productions using a production device. In this case, other effects can be continued even after the stop display of the effect symbols.

4-2-1. Effect Symbol Display Area In the display portion 50a of the image display device 50, as shown in FIG. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the special figure fluctuation effect. Similarly, the middle production design area 50b2 and the right production design area 50b3 are areas for displaying the middle production design EZ2 and the right production design EZ3.

4-2-2. Normal variation The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform normal variation first in the special figure variation effect. The normal variation functions as an effect suggesting that the variable display of the special figure has started.

When the variable display of the special figure is started, for example, as shown in FIG. Left small pattern KZ1, medium and small pattern KZ2, and right small pattern KZ3 are stopped and displayed, variable display of special symbols is not performed, and from the state of waiting for variable display of special symbols, FIG. 17 (B) , along with the start, the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is started, and the variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is started. In addition, "↓" in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of this special figure is, for example, "normal loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 17 (C-1), the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are different. After temporarily stopping in the stop mode, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a stop mode (so-called loose stitches) suggesting a failure, as shown in FIG. 17(D). At this time, the small patterns KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a failure. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that indicate a failure, such as "1, 1, 2" and "2, 4, 6", in which the symbols on the left and right sides are not the same. On the other hand, if the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern with reach such as "N loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. and the right performance symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode (so-called reach pattern), and reach is established. At this time, the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the ready-to-win performance corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern is performed. It should be noted that the stop order and stop mode of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-3. The N-reach pachinko game machine PY1 can perform N-reach when the reach is established in the normal variation. The N-reach is an effect suggesting that the result of the big win determination may have been a "big win", and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big win.

In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. decelerates to Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "N loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. Symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small patterns KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting reach-losing. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that suggest reach-losing, such as "7, 6, 7" and "5, 3, 5", in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbols are different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "N jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. indicate. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting a big win, such as "7, 7, 7" and "2, 2, 2", in which the left and right symbols are the same. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a big win. It should be noted that the content of the N reach effect is not limited to the gradual deceleration of the medium effect symbol EZ2, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP reach The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect suggesting that the possibility that the result of the big win determination is a "big win" is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big win.

In SP reach, after N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 indicating that reach has started is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19B, an SP ready-to-win effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final stage of the SP reach-only production is reached, the special figure fluctuation pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, "SP jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 19 (C-1), the display unit At 50a, an effect suggesting a big win (for example, a display in which the main character is happy to have won a battle) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped in a stop mode (so-called double eyes) suggesting a big win. indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a big win. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "SP loss variation", as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a stop mode suggesting reach-losing. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a failure. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change or add the contents of the effect of the SP reach.

Here, the possibility that the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each ready-to-win are stopped in a mode indicating a big win (big win expectation) will be described in detail. The degree of jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of jackpot determination. For example, if the execution probability of N reach is set to 10% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and is set to 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is “jackpot”, the execution probability of SP reach is If the result of the jackpot determination is "losing", it is set to 4%, and if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it is set to 100%. Can be set higher. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B are made executable as SP reach, the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of big hit determination is ``losing'', and the result of big hit determination is ``big hit''. In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is set to 2% if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing", and 30% if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot". For example, it is possible to set the SP reach B jackpot expectation higher than the SP reach A jackpot expectation. In this way, by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the judgment of the big win, it is possible to set the expected degree of the big win.

4-3. Suspended Icon Display Area The display unit 50a of the image display device 50 can be provided with a suspended icon display area 50d consisting of four display areas, as shown in FIG. 20(A).

5. Game Control by Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, game control by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 to 27. FIG. A game RAM 104 is provided with counters, timers, buffers, and the like that appear in game control by the game control microcomputer 101 described below.

[1. Main control main processing]
The game control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads and executes the main control main processing program shown in FIG. 23 from the game ROM 103 when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, access permission setting to the game RAM 104, setting of the game CPU 102, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are performed.

Following the power-on process, interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are updated by adding 1 to them. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than "0", or may be changed randomly. At least part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit such as a counter IC.

When the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003) ends, the interrupt is permitted (S004). While interrupts are enabled, it is possible to execute main-side timer interrupt processing (S005). The main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the game CPU 102, for example, at a 4 msec cycle. That is, the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) ends, before the next main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is started, various The process of updating the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt processing (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is permitted (S004).

[2. Main side timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), the output process (S101) is first executed. In the output process (S101), commands set in the output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the main control board 100 in each process described below are output to the sub control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

In the input process (S102) performed subsequent to the output process (S101), the game control microcomputer 101, for example, captures the detection signal from the lower tray full switch for detecting the fullness of the lower tray 35, and plays the game as the lower tray full data. stored in the output buffer of the RAM 104 for use.

The normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003) performed in the main control main process of FIG. That is, the update processing of the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B includes the execution period of the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) and the other period (main-side timer interrupt processing ( S005) is completed and the period until the next main side timer interrupt process (S005) is started).

After the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs sensor detection process (S104), then performs normal operation process (S105), and further performs special operation process (S106). conduct. Sensor detection processing, normal operation processing, and special operation processing will be described later.

After the special operation process (S106), a sorting device control process for controlling the sorting device 16D is performed (S107).

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108) and terminates the main side timer interrupt processing (S005). As other processing (S108), a power-off monitoring process when the power is cut off, a timer provided in the game RAM 104, and the like are performed. In addition, as other processing (S108), a payout control processing for paying out prize balls to the player is performed. In the payout control process, a prize ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 according to the winning of the game ball into each winning hole. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out prize balls based on the prize ball request signal.

Then, the game control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main processing until an interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 next time (see FIG. 23), and an interrupt pulse is input. (After about 4 msec), the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed again. In the output processing (S101) of the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) executed again, the game control microcomputer 101 outputs the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main side timer interrupt processing (S005). etc.

It should be noted that, when the Toku-zu 1-related random number is stored up to the n-th area, the newly acquired Toku-zu 1-related random number is not stored. Moreover, the 1st look-ahead determination is performed using the acquired special figure 1 relation random number and the 1st look-ahead determination table. In addition, according to the result of the process, the special figure 1 reservation number command representing the number of special figure 1 relation random numbers (number of special figure 1 reservations) stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a and the first look-ahead determination Generate a command for the first starting port sensor including a first starting win command representing the result.

In the first big winning hole sensor process, it is determined whether or not the game ball is detected by the first big winning hole sensor. Also, a command for the first big winning hole sensor is generated according to the result of the processing.

In the second big winning hole sensor process, it is determined whether or not the game ball is detected by the second big winning hole sensor. Also, a command for the second big winning opening sensor is generated according to the result of the processing.

In the specific area sensor process, it is determined whether or not a game ball is detected by the specific area sensor. Also, a specific area sensor command is generated according to the result of the processing.

[2-2. Normal operation processing]
In the normal operation process (S105), the normal symbol standby process, normal symbol variation process, normal symbol determination process, and auxiliary game control process are sequentially performed. Then, commands generated in each process are set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 .

The normal symbol standby process is a process that is performed during standby when the normal symbol variable display and auxiliary game are not performed. In the normal symbol standby process, hit determination is performed based on the normal symbol random number stored in the normal symbol reservation storage unit 106 . In addition, based on the current gaming state, normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination is performed to determine the normal pattern fluctuation pattern. Then, to generate a normal pattern fluctuation start command including information on the result of the hit determination and the normal pattern fluctuation pattern. Then, based on the normal pattern fluctuation time associated with the determined normal pattern fluctuation pattern, the normal pattern display device 82 is caused to start variable display of the normal pattern.

The normal symbol variation process is a process performed during the variable display of the normal pattern. In the normal pattern variation process, the normal pattern is stopped and displayed based on the hit determination result in response to the lapse of the normal pattern variation time after the start of the variable display of the normal pattern being executed. Then, it generates a general pattern fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the general pattern.

The normal symbol determination process is a process performed when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed. In the normal design determination process, after a predetermined stop time (for example, 0.8 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the stop display of the normal pattern being executed, the normal pattern that is stopped and displayed is a winning pattern. Determine whether or not there is If the winning pattern is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is started based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table, and an auxiliary game start command indicating the start of the auxiliary game is generated.

Auxiliary game control processing is a process that is performed when the auxiliary game is being performed. In the auxiliary game control process, the auxiliary game is controlled based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table. Moreover, according to the result of the said process, the command for auxiliary game control is produced|generated.

[2-3. Special operation processing]
In the special operation process (S106), as shown in FIG. 26, the processing relating to the special figure display 81 and the big winning device (first big winning device 14D and second big winning device 15D) is divided into four stages. A "special action status 1, 2, 3, 4" is assigned to each stage. Then, when the "special action status" is "1" (YES in S1301), the game control microcomputer 101 performs special symbol standby processing (S1302), and the "special action status" is "2". In case (NO in S1301, YES in S1303), special symbol fluctuation processing (S1304) is performed, and when "special action status" is "3" (NO in both S1301 and S1303, YES in S1305) , Special symbol confirmation processing (S1306) is performed, and when the "special action status" is "4" (S1301, S1303, S1305 are all NO), special electric accessary product processing (S1307) is performed. Note that the special operation status is "1" by default.

In the special symbol standby process (S1302), a random value such as a jackpot random number acquired in the starting sensor detection process (see FIG. 27) is determined using a predetermined determination table (see FIGS. 10, 11, and 12). . Then, the variable display of the special symbols for informing the result of the jackpot lottery is started, and the special operation status is set to "2". The special symbol standby process (S1302) will be detailed later.

In the special symbol fluctuation process (S1304), it is determined whether or not the special symbol variation time has elapsed, and when the special symbol variation time has elapsed, the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the variation stop command is set in the output buffer, and the special operation status is set. Set to "3".

In the special design determination process (S1306), it is determined whether or not the stopped special design is a jackpot design, and if it is a jackpot design, the special operation status is set to "4" in order to execute the special electric accessary product process. . At this time, the jackpot opening command is set in the output buffer. If it is not a jackpot symbol, the special operation status is set to "1" in order to execute the special symbol waiting process again. In addition, in the special symbol determination process (S1306), in order to manage the control period of the high probability state, if the probability variation flag is ON, the value of the probability variation counter is decremented by 1, and if it becomes "0", the probability variation flag is turned OFF. do. In addition, in order to manage the control period of the time saving state (that is, the high base state), if the time saving flag is ON, the value of the time saving counter is decremented by 1, and if it becomes "0", the time saving flag is turned OFF. Also, when the special operation status is set to "4", if the variable probability flag and the time saving flag are ON, they are turned OFF. In other words, during the jackpot game, it is controlled to the low probability low base state.

In the special electric accessary product processing (S1307), the first big prize-winning hole 14 and the second big prize-winning hole 15 are opened according to a predetermined opening pattern (opening time and number of openings, see FIG. 19) corresponding to the type of jackpot won. A jackpot game (special game) is performed. The special electric accessory processing (S1307) will be detailed later.

[2-3-1. Special symbol standby process]
In the special symbol waiting process (S1302), as shown in FIG. 27, first, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls (that is, the number of special figure 2 reserved balls) of the second starting port 12 is "0" (S1401 ). If the special figure 2 reserved ball number is "0" (YES in S1401), that is, if there is no storage of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 12, the first start It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of mouth 11 (that is, the number of special figure 1 reserved balls) is "0" (S1407). And if the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is also "0" (YES in S1407), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the first start port 11, the customer It is determined whether or not the waiting flag is ON (S1415), and if it is ON, this process is terminated. If it is not ON, the customer waiting command is set in the output buffer (S1416), and the customer waiting standby flag is turned ON. (S1417).

In step S1401, if the special figure 2 reserved ball number is not "0" (NO in S1401), that is, the storage of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 12 (special figure 2 reservation information ), if there is one or more, special figure 2 jackpot determination processing (S1402) and special figure 2 variation pattern selection processing (S1403) are performed.

In the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402), the jackpot random number value is read, and the jackpot determination is performed based on the jackpot determination table (see FIG. 10A) according to the current game state. If the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the win type random number value is read, and the hit type is determined based on the win type determination table (see FIG. 10B). Then, the special figure stop pattern data corresponding to the winning type is set in the special figure buffer provided in the game RAM 104.例文帳に追加If the result of the propriety determination is "losing", the special figure stop design data corresponding to the losing design is set in the special figure buffer.

In the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403), the variation pattern random number value is read, and the variation pattern is selected based on the special figure variation pattern determination table (see FIG. 12). It should be noted that in this process, if the result of the above-mentioned success or failure determination is "losing", read the reach random number and read the reach determination table (see FIG. 10 (C)), based on the change pattern of reach with loss Decide whether to make it a change pattern with no reach or loss.

Note that as shown in FIG. 12, when the variation pattern is determined, the variation time is also determined. Also, when reach is achieved, it is also determined whether the reach is normal reach or super reach (SP reach) (see remarks column in FIG. 12). The SP reach is a reach with a longer fluctuation time after reach than the normal reach, and the distribution rate of the table is set so that the degree of winning expectation (the degree of expectation for winning a jackpot) is higher than that of the normal reach. In this form, SP reach is carried out progressively through normal reach.

Returning to FIG. 27, following the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403), the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of special figure 2 reserved balls by 1 (S1404). Then, along with shifting one storage location (storage area) of the various counter values in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b to the side to be read from the current position, corresponding to the fourth reservation in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b The storage area (storage area farthest from the read side) is cleared (S1405). In this way, the second special figure reservation is digested in the order in which it was reserved.

Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S1406). In the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1406), while setting the special operation status to "2", the fluctuation start command is set to start the fluctuation display of the second special symbol. In addition, the variation start command (also referred to as the special figure 2 variation start command) set in the special figure 2 variation start process (S1406) includes the special figure stop design data set in the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S1402) Information and information of the variation pattern set in the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) (information including information on variation time) is included. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the customer waiting standby flag is ON (S1413), and if it is ON, turns off the customer waiting standby flag (S1414) to end this process, and if not ON, step This process ends without executing S1414.

Also, if the number of special figures 2 reserved balls is "0" but the number of special figures 1 reserved balls is not "0" (YES in S1401 and NO in S1407), that is, there is no reservation information of special figures 2, If there is one or more memories of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the 1 start port 11 (reservation information of special figure 1), special figure 1 jackpot determination processing (S1408) and special figure 1 fluctuation Pattern selection processing (S1409) is performed. The special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) is the same as the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402), so the description is omitted. In addition, special figure 1 fluctuation pattern selection processing (S1409), because it is the same processing as special figure 2 fluctuation pattern selection processing (S1403), abbreviates explanation.

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of special figure 1 reserved balls by 1 (S1410). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a corresponds to the fourth reservation The storage area to be read (the storage area farthest from the read side) is cleared (S1411). In this way, the first special figure reservation is digested in the order in which it was reserved.

Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S1412). In the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1412), while setting the special operation status to "2", the fluctuation start command is set, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is started. In addition, the variation start command (also called the special figure 1 variation start command) set in the special figure 1 variation start process (S1412) includes the special figure stop pattern data set in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408). Information and information of the variation pattern set in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409) (information including information on variation time) is included. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the customer waiting standby flag is ON (S1413), and if it is ON, turns off the customer waiting standby flag (S1414) to end this process, and if not ON, step This process ends without executing S1414.

As described above, in this embodiment, the variable display of the special symbols based on the first special figure reservation is performed only when the second special figure reservation is "0" (YES in S1401). That is, digestion of the second special figure reservation is executed with priority over digestion of the first special figure reservation. And in this form, the lottery based on the second special figure reservation makes it easier for the player to win a big win with a larger profit than the lottery based on the first special figure reservation.

[2-3-2. Special symbol fluctuation processing]
During special design fluctuation processing (S1304), it is the processing which is done during the variable indication of the special figure. In the special symbol variation processing, when the special symbol variation time elapses, the special symbol indicator 81 is caused to end the variable display of the special symbol and stop displaying the special symbol according to the result of the big hit determination. If the result of the big win determination is a big win, the big win pattern indicating the big win is stopped and displayed, and if the result of the big win determination is a loss, the losing pattern indicating the loss is stopped and displayed. And, to generate a special figure fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the special figure.

[2-3-3. Special symbol confirmation process]
Special design decision processing (S1306) is the processing which is done when the special design is stopped and indicated. In the special symbol determination process, when the currently stopped and displayed special symbol is a big winning symbol, the game state is shifted to a big winning game state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command includes information about the result of the jackpot type determination. In addition, when the currently stopped and displayed special figure is a lost symbol and the high probability state is terminated, the normal probability state is set. Then, it generates a high-probability end command indicating transition to the normal-probability state. In addition, when the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost pattern and the time saving state is terminated, the non-time saving state is set. And the time saving end command which shows transition to non-time saving state is produced|generated.

[2-3-4. Jackpot game control process]
In the special electric accessary product process (S1307), a jackpot game control process and a game state setting process are performed. The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is played using a jackpot game control table. After shifting to the jackpot game state, each round game is started according to the lapse of opening time or closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. Also, the ending is started in accordance with the end of the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information about the result of jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the game state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot game state. When the duration of the high probability state is limited, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of times of variable display of a special figure that allows the high probability state to continue without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, it generates a high-probability setting command indicating the setting of the high-probability state. In addition, when changing from the non-time-saving state to the time-saving state, the time-saving state is set when the jackpot game state ends. When limiting the duration of the time saving state, the duration of the time saving state (for example, the number of times of variable display of a special figure that allows the time saving state to continue without winning a jackpot) is also set. And the time saving setting command which shows the setting of a time saving state is produced|generated.

The command generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Effect Control by Effect Control Microcomputer 121 Next, the effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. FIG. Note that counters, timers, flags, buffers, etc. appearing in the explanation of the control of the effect by the following effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124 .

[1. Sub control main processing]
The effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub-control board 120 reads out and executes the sub-control main processing program shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, power-on processing corresponding to power-on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, settings of the performance CPU 122, settings of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are performed.

Next, interrupts are prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for determining various effects are updated. It should be noted that the random number for the effect determination, the random number for determining the special figure variation effect pattern for determining the special figure variation pattern, various notice effects (LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice), etc.) are determined. There are a random number for determining the advance notice effect for the purpose, a random number for determining the effect pattern for determining the stop mode of the effect pattern, and the like. As an example of the method of updating the random number counter for effect determination for various effects, the same method as the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 can be used. Instead of adding 1 to the random value at the time of updating, it is also possible to add 2 at a time. This is the same in the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

When the random number seed update process ends, the command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140 . The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display section 50a according to the received command (performs various effects based on the image). Further, the sub-control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound) along with various effects performed by the image control board 140, and controls the lamp. Through the circuit 151, the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made to emit light (executing various light emission effects by light emission), and the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are operated (various movable body effects are produced by actions). run or).

The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits an interrupt (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While interrupts are enabled, reception interrupt processing (S4010) and sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011) can be executed.

The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the production control microcomputer 121 stores various commands transmitted and received by the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the production RAM124. This reception interrupt process is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4011).

[2. Sub-side timer interrupt processing]
The sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a predetermined cycle (for example, a cycle of 1 msec) is input to the sub-control board 120. FIG. In the sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011), as shown in FIG. 29, input processing (S4101), light emission data output processing (S4102), movable device control processing (S4103), watchdog timer processing (S4104), table creation processing (S4105), received command analysis processing (S4106), effect timer update processing (S4107), voice control processing (S4108), and effect data creation processing (S4109) are sequentially performed.

In the input process, the operation of the player's operable operating units such as the normal button detection switch 40a, the special button detection switch 41a, and the select button detection switch 42a is detected. In the input process, switch data (edge data and level data) are created based on detection signals from the normal button detection switch 40a, the special button detection switch 41a, and the select button detection switch 42a. In the light emission data output process, light emission data is generated in order to cause the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 to emit light at a timing that matches the image effect, etc., based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process, which will be described later. is output to the lamp control circuit 151 . That is, the production control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control processing, based on the performance data created in the performance data creation processing, drive data is output in order to perform a movable body performance that operates the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 at a predetermined timing. do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the movable object effect by operating the movable devices 55, 56, 58 and the like in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. The watchdog timer process resets the watchdog timer.

In the received command analysis process, the received interrupt process (S4010) analyzes the command stored in the reception buffer of the production RAM 124, and performs processing according to the command (for example, selection of production, setting of production mode, command setting, etc.). I do. In effect timer update processing, the timer for measuring the time for each effect is updated. In the audio control process, audio data (data for controlling the output of audio from the speaker 52) is created and output to the audio control circuit 161 based on the processing result of the received command analysis process. In the effect data creation process, the effect data is created based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

7. LOGO Notice Effect A further detailed description will be added below regarding the features of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment. In the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first embodiment, there are cases where the LOGO notice effect is executed during execution of the special figure variation effect. Here, the LOGO notice effect is one type of notice effect in which LOGO, which is the main character, is displayed on the display section 50a. The LOGO notice effect includes a LOGO cut-in notice (first specific effect, suggestive effect) and a LOGO background notice (second specific effect).

In addition, in the pachinko machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the reliability (reliability) of the LOGO cut-in notice, the hit ratio (occupancy) of the LOGO cut-in notice, and the reliability of the LOGO background notice are displayed in the customer waiting effect. By operating the select button 42 and the normal button 40, the degree (reliability) and the winning share (occupancy) of the LOGO background notice are specified to suit the taste of the player, A feature point is that it can be set by the effect control microcomputer 121 .

Here, the reliability (first ratio, set value, reliability) means that when a predetermined effect (for example, LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) is executed, special figure jackpot determination processing (special figure 1 It shows the probability that the result of the determination by the jackpot determination process (S1408), the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402)) is a jackpot. In addition, the hit occupancy (second ratio, set value, hit occupancy) is the result of the determination by the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402)) indicates the probability that a predetermined effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) will be executed when is a jackpot.

Further, in the pachinko machine PY1 of the first embodiment, the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice and the reliability of the LOGO background notice are set to ten levels (“10%”, “20%”, “30%”, “40%”, respectively). %", "50%", "60%", "70%", "80%", "90%", or "100%"). Furthermore, the winning share of the LOGO cut-in notice and the winning share of the LOGO background notice are each set in 10 stages (“10%”, “20%”, “30%”, “40%”, “50%”, "60%", "70%", "80%", "90%", or "100%") can be set. As a result, in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first embodiment, the effect control microcomputer can adjust the LOGO cut-in notice reliability and winning occupancy rate and the LOGO background notice reliability and winning occupancy rate according to the preferences of the player. 121 enables finer setting.

8. Special figure 1 variation pattern of the first embodiment The game control microcomputer 101 of the first embodiment includes special figure variation pattern selection processing (special figure 1 variation pattern selection processing (S1409), special figure 2 variation pattern selection processing (S1403) , see FIG. 27), the result of the jackpot determination performed in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402), see FIG. 27), reach determination result, And based on the special figure variation pattern random number, to determine the special figure variation pattern. When it is determined to be a big hit, in the special figure variation pattern selection process (special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403), see FIG. 27), the game control microcomputer 101 The number of selectable special figure variation patterns is "1000". Also, when it is determined to be a loss, in the special figure variation pattern selection process (special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403), see FIG. 27), for game control The number of special figure variation patterns that can be selected by the microcomputer 101 is "1000".

Next, using FIG. 30, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table of the non-working time saving state that is partially extracted will be described. In addition, in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first embodiment, since there are many special figure variation patterns, FIG. 30 shows a part of the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table in the non-time saving state.

When the game control microcomputer 101 of the first embodiment determines that the jackpot is won in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) in the non-time saving state, the special figure 1 variation pattern is P01, ``P71'', ``P72. ', 'P02', or 'P03'. Whether to determine which special figure 1 variation pattern is distributed by the special figure variation pattern random number. In addition, the distribution rate (selection rate) of the special figure 1 variation pattern can be appropriately changed within a range that does not interfere with the game.

In addition, the game control microcomputer 101 of the first embodiment is a case where it is determined to be a loss in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) in a non-time saving state, and when the result of the reach determination is "with reach" In, it is possible to determine "P04", "P73", "P74", "P05", or "P06" as a special figure 1 variation pattern. Whether to determine which special figure 1 variation pattern is distributed by the special figure variation pattern random number. In addition, the distribution rate (selection rate) of the special figure 1 variation pattern can be appropriately changed within a range that does not interfere with the game.

In addition, the game control microcomputer 101 of the first embodiment is a case where it is determined to be a loss in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) in a non-time saving state, and when the result of the reach determination is "no reach" In, it is possible to determine "P07" or "P08" as a special figure 1 variation pattern. Whether to determine these two types of special figure 1 variation patterns is assigned by the number of special figure 1 reservations. If the special figure 1 reservation number is 0 to 2, the special figure variation pattern with a relatively long special figure variation time is easily determined, and if the special figure 1 reservation number is 3 to 4, the special figure variation A special figure variation pattern with a relatively short time is easily determined.

Here, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P01" is the SP jackpot variation 1 where normal variation → reach → N reach → development production → SP reach is performed, and the special figure 1 variation pattern "P04" is normal variation → reach → It is SP loss variation 1 in which N reach → development production → SP reach is performed.

Here, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P71" is the SP jackpot variation 2 where normal variation → reach → N reach → first development suggestion production → development production → SP reach is performed, and the special figure 1 variation pattern "P73" , normal variation→reach→N reach→first development suggestive effect→development effect→SP reach is performed as SP loss change 2. Here, the first development suggesting effect functions as a effect suggesting that the development effect is performed during execution of the special figure variation effect. Note that the first development-suggestion effect is different from the second development-suggestion effect, which will be described later.

Here, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P72" is the SP jackpot variation 3 where normal variation → reach → N reach → second development suggestion production → development production → SP reach is performed, and the special figure 1 variation pattern "P74" is , normal variation→reach→N reach→second development suggestive effect→development effect→SP reach 3 is performed. Here, the second development suggesting effect functions as a effect suggesting that the development effect is performed during execution of the special figure variation effect. It should be noted that the second development-suggestion effect is a different effect from the first development-suggestion effect.

Here, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P02" is the L jackpot variation in which normal variation → reach → N reach → development production → L reach is performed, and the special figure 1 variation pattern "P05" is normal variation → reach → N It is an L loss variation in which reach → development production → L reach is performed.

In addition, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P03" is normal variation → reach → N reach, although production patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 become reach, L reach or SP reach is not performed N jackpot variation. . In addition, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P06" is normal variation → reach → N reach, although the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 become reach L reach, or SP reach is N loss variation that is not performed. .

Also, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P07" is a normal loss variation in which the variation performance ends in 13 seconds without the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 reaching reach. Also, the special figure 1 variation pattern "P08" shown in FIG. 30 is a normal loss variation in which the variation performance ends in 4 seconds without the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 reaching reach.

In the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first embodiment, SP jackpot fluctuation 1, SP jackpot fluctuation 2, SP jackpot fluctuation 3, SP losing fluctuation 1, SP losing fluctuation 2, or SP losing fluctuation 3, any special figure 1 fluctuation Even during execution of the special figure fluctuation effect based on the pattern, LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) may be performed. SP jackpot change 1, SP jackpot change 2, SP jackpot change 3, SP loss change 1, SP loss change 2, which can be performed during execution of special figure change effect And SP loss variation 3 is referred to as a specific special figure variation pattern. In addition, SP jackpot variation 1, SP jackpot variation 2, and SP jackpot variation 3 are referred to as specific jackpot special figure variation patterns, and SP loss variation 1, SP loss variation 2, and SP loss variation 3 are specific loss special figure variations. called a pattern.

9. Effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 of the first embodiment Next, the effect control processing by the effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 40 .

By the way, by the game control microcomputer 101, in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), the number of times the specific jackpot special figure variation pattern is selected, and in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), a specific loss It is assumed that the number of times the special figure variation pattern is selected becomes an extreme ratio. If it becomes such an extreme ratio, the calculation by the production control microcomputer 121 may not go well when determining whether or not to execute the advance notice production in the special figure fluctuation production.

For example, in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), as the special figure variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, a specific jackpot special figure variation pattern was selected once, but a specific loss special figure variation The pattern is selected 1000 times, and in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), the ratio of the special figure variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101 is 1 (specific jackpot special figure variation pattern): 1000 ( It may happen that it becomes a specific loss special figure fluctuation pattern). In this case, when a specific loss special figure variation pattern is selected in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), when the LOGO notice effect is executed at a rate of 10%, a specific loss special figure variation When the special figure variation performance based on the pattern is performed 1000 times, the LOGO notice performance is performed during execution of the special figure variation performance 100 times among the 1000 times special figure variation performance. In addition, when trying to execute a LOGO notice effect with a reliability of 10% during execution of a special figure fluctuation effect, when a specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern is selected, the LOGO notice effect is always executed. Become. Furthermore, when the reliability of the LOGO notice effect is low (for example, 1%), the LOGO notice effect is always executed when a specific jackpot special figure variation pattern is selected. Due to the extreme ratio between the number of times the specific jackpot special pattern variation pattern was selected and the number of times the specific loss special pattern variation pattern was selected, there was a LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure variation effect. When it is executed, there is a risk that the result of the big hit determination will be revealed to the player before the special figure variation effect is finished.

Therefore, the effect control microcomputer 121 of the first embodiment first performs the table creation process (S4105) of the sub-side timer interrupt process (S4011) shown in FIG. 31 to create a LOGO notice effect distribution table. As a result, the effect control microcomputer 121 may reveal the result of the big hit determination to the player before the special figure variation effect ends due to the LOGO cut-in notice executed in the special figure variation effect. It is configured to determine in advance whether or not to execute the LOGO notice effect in the special figure variation performance based on a specific special figure variation pattern. Subsequently, in the announcement effect selection process (S5504) described later, the effect control microcomputer 121 creates a LOGO announcement effect (LOGO cut-in announcement, LOGO background announcement) based on the distribution table created in the table creation process (S4105). is configured to select As a result, even if the reliability and hit share of the set LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) are set at any of the 10 levels, the correct reliability (LOGO cut-in announcement, LOGO background announcement) can be executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the result of the big hit determination from being revealed first before the player's special figure variation effect ends.

The table creation process (S4105) will be described with reference to FIG. The table creation process (S4105) is a LOGO notice effect used in the notice effect selection process (S5504) when the reliability and winning share of the LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) are set. This is a process in which a distribution table of (logo cut-in notice, logo background notice) is created by the effect control microcomputer 121 .

The table creation process (S4105) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in the table creation process (S4105), the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a distribution table for LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) has been created. It is determined whether or not a distribution table for effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) is stored (4201). If the distribution table for the LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) has already been created (YES in S4201), the process proceeds to step S4202. If the distribution table for the LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) has not been created (NO in S4201), this processing ends.

In step S4202, the production control microcomputer 121 performs the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern so as to achieve the winning share of the set LOGO notice production (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice). Execution/non-execution of the LOGO cut-in notice and execution/non-execution of the LOGO background notice during the execution of the special figure variation performance based on the specific jackpot special figure variation pattern are distributed in increments of 1/1000 (S4202).

Specifically, in step S4202, the effect control microcomputer 121 converts a numerical value corresponding to the hit share of the set LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) into a specific jackpot special figure variation pattern. Distributed to the execution (with notice) of the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) in the special figure fluctuation effect based on. Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 subtracts the distributed value from the value of 1000 to create a LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) in a special figure fluctuation production based on a specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern. are assigned to non-execution (without notice).

For example, when the winning share of the LOGO cut-in notice is set to "10%", in step S4202, the production control microcomputer 121 performs the LOGO cut-in in the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP big hit fluctuation 1. 100 is distributed to the execution of the notice (with notice, see FIG. 32), and 900, which is the value obtained by subtracting 100 from the value of 1000, is the non-notification of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern. Execute (without notice, see FIG. 32) (without notice: with notice=900:100). Also, for example, when the winning share of the LOGO background notice is set to "10%", in step S4202, the production control microcomputer 121 is a special figure fluctuation production based on a specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern. 100 is distributed to the execution of the LOGO background notice (with notice, see FIG. 32), and 900, which is the value obtained by subtracting 100 from the value of 1000, is the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern. (without notice, see FIG. 32) (without notice: with notice=900:100).

Subsequently, in step S4203, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure variation pattern selected when it is determined to be a big hit in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process, special figure 2 jackpot determination process) From the number (1000), the execution probability of the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern (hereinafter also referred to as the appearance rate of the LOGO notice effect) calculate. In addition, the execution probability of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern is hereinafter also referred to as the appearance rate of the LOGO cut-in notice. Further, the execution probability of the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern is hereinafter also referred to as the appearance rate of the LOGO background notice.

Specifically, in step S4203, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure selected when it is determined to be a big hit in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process, special figure 2 jackpot determination process) To the probability that the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern calculated from the number of fluctuation patterns (1000) is selected, the execution of the LOGO notice production in the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern in step S4201 (with notice) The appearance rate of the LOGO notice effect is calculated by multiplying the divided value/1000.

For example, in step S4203, the effect control microcomputer 121 is determined to be a big hit in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process, special figure 2 jackpot determination process) The number of special figure variation patterns selected The probability (0.012) that the SP big hit variation 1 calculated from (1000) is selected, the value assigned to the execution of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure variation production based on the SP big hit variation 1 in step S4201 (100) By multiplying by /1000, the appearance rate (0.0012) of the LOGO cut-in notice is calculated (see FIG. 32). Also, for example, in step S4203, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure variation selected when it is determined to be a big hit in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process, special figure 2 jackpot determination process) The probability (0.012) that the SP jackpot variation 1 is selected calculated from the number of patterns (1000), and the value (100 )/1000 to calculate the LOGO background notice appearance rate (0.0012) (see FIG. 33).

Subsequently, in step S4204, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not to execute a LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) in the special figure fluctuation production based on a specific losing special figure fluctuation pattern in increments of 1/1000. is changed (S4204). Specifically, for example, in step S4204, the production control microcomputer 121 distributes 1 to the execution of the LOGO background notice (with notice) in the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific loss special figure fluctuation pattern, and the specific loss If 999 is assigned to non-execution (with notice) of LOGO background notice in special figure fluctuation production based on special figure fluctuation pattern, LOGO background notice in special figure fluctuation production based on a specific loss special figure fluctuation pattern The execution (with notice) is increased to 2, and the non-execution (no notice) of the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the specific losing special figure fluctuation pattern is changed by decreasing to 998.

Subsequently, in step S4205, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure variation pattern that is selected when it is determined to be lost in the special figure jackpot determination processing (special figure 1 jackpot determination processing, special figure 2 jackpot determination processing). From the number (1000), the execution probability of executing the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) during execution of the special figure change effect based on the specific jackpot special change pattern (also called appearance rate of LOGO cut-in notice, appearance rate of LOGO background notice)) is calculated.

Specifically, in step S4205, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure that is selected when it is determined to be lost in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process, special figure 2 jackpot determination process) To the probability that a specific losing special figure variation pattern calculated from the number of variation patterns (1000) is selected, execution of LOGO notice effect in special figure variation effect based on a specific losing special figure variation pattern in step S4204 (with notice) The appearance rate of the LOGO notice effect is calculated by multiplying the divided value/1000.

For example, in step S4205, the effect control microcomputer 121 is the special figure variation pattern number selected when it is determined to be a loss in the special figure jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process, special figure 2 jackpot determination process) (1000) SP loss variation 1 calculated from the probability of being selected (0.011, see FIG. 32 (A)), execution of LOGO cut-in notice in special figure variation production based on SP loss variation 1 in step S4204 (982, see FIG. 32(A))/1000 to calculate the LOGO cut-in notice appearance rate (0.010802, see FIG. 32(A)).

In addition, for example, in step S4205, the effect control microcomputer 121 is a special figure variation selected when it is determined to be lost in the special figure jackpot determination processing (special figure 1 jackpot determination processing, special figure 2 jackpot determination processing) SP loss variation 1 calculated from the number of patterns (1000) is selected probability (0.011, see FIG. 33 (A)), in step S4204 SP loss variation 1 based on the special figure variation effect LOGO background notice By multiplying the value assigned to execution (982, see FIG. 33A)/1000, the LOGO background notice appearance rate (0.010802, see FIG. 33A) is calculated.

From the appearance rate, the appearance rate of the LOGO notice production (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) in the special figure fluctuation production based on the specific jackpot special figure fluctuation pattern calculated in step S4203 and the specific loss feature calculated in step S4205 The value obtained by dividing by the total value of the appearance rate of the LOGO notice effect in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the figure fluctuation pattern is rounded up below the decimal point and multiplied by 100 to create the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice ) is calculated. In step S4206, the effect control microcomputer 121 may round up after the decimal point, or may round up after the first decimal place or round down.

For example, in step S4206, the production control microcomputer 121, in step S4203, the appearance rate of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the calculated SP big hit fluctuation 1 (0.0012, see FIG. 32 (A)) From, the appearance rate (0.0012, see FIG. 32 (A)) of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure variation production based on the SP big hit variation 1 calculated in step S4203 and the SP loss variation 1 calculated in step S4205 The value (0.09998) divided by the total value (0.01202) of the appearance rate (0.010802, see FIG. 32 (A)) of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation effect (0.09998) is rounded up to 100 is multiplied by to calculate the reliability (10%) of the LOGO cut-in notice.

In step S5702, whenever the production control microcomputer 121 counts the special figure fluctuation pattern, the information of the counted special figure fluctuation pattern is written in the notice production storage unit 107. - 特許庁As a result, the information on the number of times the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 (special figure fluctuation pattern "P01", see FIG. 30) selected, which is stored in the notice effect storage unit 107, the SP loss fluctuation 1 (special figure fluctuation pattern "P04 ”, see FIG. 30) is selected, information on the number of selections SP jackpot fluctuation 2 (special figure fluctuation pattern “P71”, see FIG. 30) is selected, SP loss fluctuation 2 (special figure fluctuation pattern "P73", see FIG. 30) is selected information of the number of selections, information of the number of selections SP jackpot fluctuation 3 (special figure fluctuation pattern "P72", see FIG. 30) is selected, or SP loss fluctuation 3 (special Figure variation pattern "P74", see FIG. 30) of the number of times selected, information of the number of times of selection corresponding to the counted special figure variation pattern will be increased by one.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a LOGO cut-in announcement selection process (S5703), which will be described later, and a LOGO background announcement selection process (S5704), which will be described later. Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a lottery for other advance notice effects (S5705), and terminates this process as it is. In step S5705, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not to execute a notice effect other than the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) using the notice effect determination random number extracted in step S5701. hold a lottery.

Next, the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5703) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5703), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not the LOGO cut-in notice is executed (S5801). It is assumed that the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is set to 10%, and the hit share of the LOGO cut-in notice is set to 20%. Specifically, in step S5801, the effect control microcomputer 121, the information included in the received special figure variation start command is a specific special figure variation pattern ("P01", "P71", "P72", "P04" , “P73”, “P74”, see FIG. 30), the information of the number of selections (see FIG. 48A) in which the SP jackpot variation stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 is selected, and Based on the set hit share of the LOGO cut-in notice and the random number for determining the notice effect extracted in step S5701, it is determined whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP big hit fluctuation. decide.

For example, in step S5801, the effect control microcomputer 121, when the information included in the received special figure variation start command is SP jackpot variation 1, based on the random number for determining the announcement effect extracted in step S5701, set It is determined whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure variation performance based on the SP big win variation 1 with the probability of the winning share (20%) of the LOGO cut-in notice.

Further, for example, in step S5801, the effect control microcomputer 121, when the information included in the received special figure variation start command is the SP loss variation 1, the SP loss variation stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 Information on the number of times of 1 (for example, 10 times, see FIG. 48 (A)) and the number of times of SP big hit fluctuation 1 (for example, 3 times, see FIG. 48 (A)) stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 Based on the information, according to the calculation method of the loss occupancy of the LOGO cut-in notice shown in FIG. 50, the loss occupancy (54% ) is calculated. Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121, based on the notice effect determination random number extracted in step S5701, with a probability of the calculated loss occupancy (54%), LOGO in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss variation 1 Determines whether or not to execute cut-in notice.

In addition, when the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice and the hit occupancy rate are not set, the effect control microcomputer 121 uses the information included in the received special figure fluctuation start command as a specific special figure fluctuation pattern (" P01", "P71", "P72", "P04", "P73", "P74" (see FIG. 30), the initial value ( default value) (for example, 10%), or the probability of the loss occupancy, which is the initial value obtained by the calculation method shown in FIG. Determines whether or not to execute cut-in notice.

Subsequently, the production control microcomputer 121 calculates the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP big hit fluctuation (S5802). Here, the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice (current reliability) is not the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice and the initial value of the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice, but the pachinko machine This is the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated based on the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice from when the power of PY1 was turned on for the first time to the current special figure fluctuation effect. Specifically, in step S5802, the effect control microcomputer 121 gives a LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure variation effect based on the SP big hit variation from when the power of the pachinko game machine PY1 is turned on for the first time to the current special figure variation effect. From the number of executions, the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP jackpot fluctuation from the pachinko machine PY1 being turned on for the first time to the current special figure fluctuation effect and the pachinko machine PY1 being powered on. Divide the total number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP loss fluctuation from to the special figure fluctuation production this time, and multiply the number obtained by the division by 100. Thus, the reliability of the current LOGO cut-in notice is obtained. Moreover, when the performance control microcomputer 121 does not set the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice, the process of step S5802 is performed based on the reliability of the initial value of the LOGO cut-in notice. In addition, in step S5802, the effect control microcomputer 121 may round up after the decimal point, or round up after the first decimal place, or may round down.

For example, when it is determined in step S5801 that the LOGO cut-in notice is executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP big hit variation 1, in step S5802, the effect control microcomputer 121 detects that the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time. From the number of LOGO cut-in notice executions (1 (see FIG. 48 (A)) + 1 (execution of this LOGO cut-in notice)) to the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 this time, the pachinko machine The number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice from when PY1 is turned on for the first time to the special figure fluctuation effect based on this SP jackpot fluctuation 1 (1 (see Fig. 48(A)) + 1 (execution of this LOGO cut-in notice) ) and the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss variation 1 from when the pachinko machine PY1 is first turned on until the current special figure variation effect (2, see FIG. 48 (A)) is divided by the total number, and the value obtained by the division is multiplied by 100 to obtain the current reliability (50%) of the LOGO cut-in notice.

Also, for example, when it is determined in step S5801 that the LOGO cut-in notice is not executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP big hit variation 1, in step S5802, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the pachinko game machine PY1 is the first time. From the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 (see FIG. 48 (A))) from the power on to the special figure fluctuation production of this time, the pachinko machine PY1 is The number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice (1 (see FIG. 48 (A))) and the pachinko machine PY1 up to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 from the first time the power is turned on until this special figure fluctuation production Divide the total number of LOGO cut-in notice execution times (2, see FIG. , and multiplying the value obtained by dividing by 100, the reliability (approximately 33%) of the current LOGO cut-in notice is obtained. In this case, the production control microcomputer 121 obtains the reliability by rounding up to the decimal point in step S5802, but may round up to the decimal point or the first decimal place or later, or round it down.

Further, for example, when it is determined in step S5801 that the LOGO cut-in notice is executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss variation 1, in step S5802, the effect control microcomputer 121 detects that the pachinko game machine PY1 is the first power supply. From the number of LOGO cut-in notice executions (1 (see FIG. 48 (A))) to the special figure variation effect based on the SP jackpot variation 1 from the time it is put in until the special figure variation effect this time, the pachinko machine PY1 is the first. The number of LOGO cut-in notice executions (1 (see FIG. 48 (A))) and the pachinko machine PY1 for the first time until the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 from the power on to the special figure fluctuation production this time Sum of the number of LOGO cut-in notice executions (2 (see FIG. 48(A)) + 1 (execution of current LOGO background notice)) from the time the power is turned on until the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP loss fluctuation 1 this time. By dividing the number and multiplying the numerical value obtained by the division by 100, the reliability (25%) of the current LOGO cut-in notice is obtained.

Also, for example, when it is determined in step S5801 that the LOGO cut-in notice is not executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss variation 1, in step S5802, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the pachinko game machine PY1 for the first time. From the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 (see FIG. 48 (A))) from the power on to the special figure fluctuation production of this time, the pachinko machine PY1 is The number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice (1 (see FIG. 48 (A))) and the pachinko machine PY1 up to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 from the first time the power is turned on until this special figure fluctuation production Divide the total number by the number of LOGO cut-in notice executions (2 (see FIG. 48 (A))) up to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP loss fluctuation 1 from the first time the power is turned on until this special figure fluctuation production Then, by multiplying the numerical value obtained by the division by 100, the reliability of the current LOGO cut-in notice (approximately 33%) is obtained. In this case, the production control microcomputer 121 obtains the reliability by rounding up to the decimal point in step S5802, but may round up to the decimal point or the first decimal place or later, or round it down.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines if the difference between the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is within 10% (predetermined value). It is determined whether or not there is (S5803). If the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the difference between the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is within 10%, (YES in S5803), whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice determined in step S5801 is maintained (S5804), and this processing ends. If it is determined that the difference between the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is not within 10% (NO in S5803), Whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice determined in step S5801 is changed (S5805), and this processing ends.

Specifically, for example, in step S5801, when the effect control microcomputer 121 determines to execute the LOGO cut-in notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation effect, the current state of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 If it is determined that the difference between the reliability and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is within 10% (YES in S5803), the result determined in step S5801 is maintained ( S5804). That is, the LOGO cut-in notice is executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect of this time. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121 writes the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice executed in the special figure variation effect based on the specific special figure variation pattern to the notice effect storage unit 107, and the notice effect storage unit 107 The execution count of the LOGO cut-in notice corresponding to the stored special figure variation pattern is increased by one. On the other hand, for example, in step S5801, when the effect control microcomputer 121 determines to execute the LOGO cut-in notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation effect, the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice exceeds 10% (NO in S5803), the result determined in step S5801 is changed (S5805 ). That is, the LOGO cut-in notice will not be executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect this time.

Also, for example, in step S5801, when the production control microcomputer 121 determines not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation production, the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is within 10% (YES in S5803), the result determined in step S5801 is maintained (S5804). . That is, the LOGO cut-in notice is not executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect of this time. On the other hand, for example, in step S5801, when the effect control microcomputer 121 determines not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation effect, the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice exceeds 10%, that is, if the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice calculated in step S5802 is too low (set If it is determined that the current reliability is 20% and the current reliability is 9% (NO in S5803), the result determined in step S5801 is changed (S5805). That is, the LOGO cut-in notice is executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect of this time. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121 writes the number of executions of the LOGO cut-in notice executed in the special figure variation effect based on the specific special figure variation pattern to the notice effect storage unit 107, and the notice effect storage unit 107 The execution count of the LOGO cut-in notice corresponding to the stored special figure variation pattern is increased by one.

Moreover, when the performance control microcomputer 121 does not set the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice, the determination in step S5803 is performed based on the reliability of the initial value of the LOGO cut-in notice.

Next, the LOGO background announcement selection process (S5704) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in the LOGO background notice selection process (S5704), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not the LOGO background notice is executed (S5901). It is assumed that the reliability of the LOGO background notice is set to 10%, and the hit share of the LOGO background notice is set to 20%. Specifically, in step S5901, the effect control microcomputer 121, the information included in the received special figure variation start command is a specific special figure variation pattern ("P01", "P71", "P72", "P04" , “P73”, “P74”, see FIG. 30), the information of the number of selections (see FIG. 48(B)) in which the SP jackpot variation stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 is selected, and Based on the set occupancy rate of the LOGO background notice and the random number for deciding the notice effect extracted in step S5701, it is determined whether or not to execute the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP big hit fluctuation. .

For example, in step S5901, the effect control microcomputer 121, when the information included in the received special figure variation start command is SP jackpot variation 1, based on the random number for determining the announcement effect extracted in step S5701, set It is determined whether or not to execute the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation performance based on the SP big hit fluctuation 1 with the probability of the winning share (20%) of the LOGO background notice.

Further, for example, in step S5901, the effect control microcomputer 121, when the information included in the received special figure variation start command is the SP loss variation 1, the SP loss variation stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 Information on the number of times of 1 (for example, 15 times, see FIG. 48 (B)) and the number of times of SP big hit fluctuation 1 (for example, 4 times, see FIG. 48 (A)) stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 Based on the information, according to the calculation method of the loss occupancy of the LOGO background notice shown in FIG. calculate. Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121, based on the notice effect determination random number extracted in step S5701, with the probability of the calculated loss occupancy (51%), LOGO in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss change 1 Determines whether or not to execute the background notice. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121 obtains the reliability by rounding up to the decimal point in step S5901, but may round up to the decimal point or the first decimal place or later, or round it down.

In addition, when the reliability of the LOGO background notice and the hit occupancy rate are not set, the effect control microcomputer 121 receives the special figure fluctuation start command and the information included in the special figure fluctuation pattern ("P01 , “P71”, “P72”, “P04”, “P73”, “P74”, see FIG. 30), the initial value (default value) (for example, 10%), or the probability of the loss occupancy, which is the initial value obtained by the calculation method shown in FIG. Decide whether to run the notice.

Subsequently, the production control microcomputer 121 calculates the current reliability of the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP big hit fluctuation (S5902). Here, the current reliability of the LOGO background notice does not refer to the set reliability of the LOGO background notice or the initial value of the reliability of the LOGO background notice, but rather to the time since the pachinko machine PY1 was turned on for the first time. This is the reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated based on the number of executions of the LOGO background notice up to the special figure fluctuation effect. Specifically, in step S5902, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the LOGO background notice in the special figure variation effect based on the SP big hit variation from when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time to the special figure variation effect of this time. From the number of executions, the number of executions of the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation from the pachinko machine PY1 to the power supply for the first time until the current special figure fluctuation production and the number of times the pachinko machine PY1 is powered on this time. By dividing the total number of executions of the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP loss fluctuation up to the special figure fluctuation production, and multiplying the number obtained by the division by 100, the current situation , the reliability of the LOGO background notice of . Further, when the effect control microcomputer 121 does not set the reliability of the LOGO background notice, the process of step S5902 is performed based on the reliability of the initial value of the LOGO background notice.

For example, when it is determined in step S5901 that the LOGO background notice is executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP big hit variation 1, in step S5902, the effect control microcomputer 121 detects that the Pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time. From the number of executions of the LOGO background notice (2 (see FIG. 48 (B)) + 1 (execution of this LOGO background notice)) to the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 this time, the pachinko machine PY1 is the first The number of executions of the LOGO background notice (2 (see FIG. 48 (B)) + 1 (execution of the current LOGO background notice)) and the pachinko machine Divide the total number by the number of executions of the LOGO background notice in the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP loss fluctuation 1 (4, see FIG. 48 (B)) from when PY1 is turned on for the first time to the current special figure fluctuation effect. Then, by adding 100 to the numerical value obtained by the division, the reliability (43%) of the current LOGO background notice is obtained. In this case, the production control microcomputer 121 obtains the reliability by rounding up to the decimal point in step S5902, but may round up to the decimal point or the first decimal place or later, or round it down.

Also, for example, when it is determined in step S5901 that the LOGO background notice is not executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP big hit variation 1, in step S5902, the effect control microcomputer 121 detects that the pachinko game machine PY1 is the first power supply. From the number of executions (2 (see FIG. 48 (B))) of the LOGO background notice to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 from the time it is turned on until the special figure fluctuation production this time, the pachinko machine PY1 is the first power supply The number of executions of the LOGO background notice (2 (see FIG. 48 (B))) up to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP big hit fluctuation 1 from the time it is turned on until the special figure fluctuation production this time, and the pachinko machine PY1 is turned on for the first time. Divide the total number of LOGO background notice execution times (4, see FIG. By multiplying the numerical value obtained by 100, the reliability (33%) of the current LOGO background notice is obtained. In this case, the production control microcomputer 121 obtains the reliability by rounding up to the decimal point in step S5902, but may round up to the decimal point or the first decimal place or later, or round it down.

Also, for example, when it is determined in step S5901 that the LOGO background notice is executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss variation 1, in step S5902, the effect control microcomputer 121 turns on the pachinko machine PY1 for the first time. The pachinko machine PY1 is powered on for the first time from the number of executions of the LOGO background notice (2 (see FIG. 48 (B))) until the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 from the time until the special figure fluctuation production this time. The number of executions of the LOGO background notice (2 (see FIG. 48(B))) until the special figure variation effect based on the SP jackpot variation 1 until the special figure variation effect this time (2 (see FIG. 48 (B))) and the power of the pachinko machine PY1 is turned on for the first time. After that, the number of executions of the LOGO background notice (4 (see FIG. 48 (B)) + 1 (execution of this LOGO background notice)) until the special figure fluctuation effect based on the SP loss fluctuation 1 this time) is divided by the total number. , and multiplied by 100 to the numerical value obtained by the division, the reliability (20%) of the current LOGO background notice is obtained.

Further, for example, when it is determined in step S5901 that the LOGO background notice is not executed in the special figure variation effect based on the SP loss variation 1, in step S5902, the effect control microcomputer 121 detects that the pachinko game machine PY1 is the first power supply. From the number of executions (2 (see FIG. 48 (B))) of the LOGO background notice to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP jackpot fluctuation 1 from the time it is turned on until the special figure fluctuation production this time, the pachinko machine PY1 is the first power supply The number of executions of the LOGO background notice (2 (see FIG. 48 (B))) up to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP big hit fluctuation 1 from the time it is turned on until the special figure fluctuation production this time, and the pachinko machine PY1 is turned on for the first time. The number of LOGO background notice executions (4 (see FIG. 48 (B))) up to the special figure fluctuation production based on the SP loss fluctuation 1 in the special figure fluctuation production this time is divided by the total number, and the division By multiplying 100 to the numerical value obtained by the above, the reliability (33%) of the current LOGO background notice is obtained. In this case, the production control microcomputer 121 obtains the reliability by rounding up to the decimal point in step S5902, but may round up to the decimal point or the first decimal place or later, or round it down.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the difference between the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902 and the set reliability of the LOGO background notice is within 10% (predetermined value). It is determined whether or not (S5903). When the effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the difference between the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902 and the set reliability of the LOGO background notice is within 10% (S5903 YES), it is maintained whether or not to execute the LOGO background notice determined in step S5901 (S5904), and this processing ends. If it is determined that the difference between the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902 and the set reliability of the LOGO background notice is not within 10% (NO in S5903), step S5901 (S5905), and the processing ends.

Specifically, for example, in step S5901, when the effect control microcomputer 121 determines to execute the LOGO background notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation effect, the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902 , and the set reliability of the LOGO background notice is within 10% (YES in S5903), the result determined in step S5901 is maintained (S5904). That is, the LOGO background notice will be executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect of this time. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121 writes the number of executions of the LOGO background notice executed in the special figure variation effect based on the specific special figure variation pattern to the notice effect storage unit 107 and stores it in the notice effect storage unit 107. The number of executions of the LOGO background notice corresponding to the special figure variation pattern that is being done is increased by 1. On the other hand, for example, in step S5901, when the production control microcomputer 121 determines to execute the LOGO background notice during the execution of the special figure fluctuation production, the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902, If it is determined that the difference from the set reliability of the LOGO background notice exceeds 10% (NO in S5903), the result determined in step S5901 is changed (S5905). That is, the LOGO background notice will not be executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect this time.

Also, for example, in step S5901, when the production control microcomputer 121 determines not to execute the LOGO background notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation production, the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902, If it is determined that the difference from the set reliability of the LOGO background notice is within 10% (YES in S5903), the result determined in step S5801 is maintained (S5904). That is, the LOGO background notice is not executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect of this time. On the other hand, for example, in step S5901, when the production control microcomputer 121 determines not to execute the LOGO background notice during execution of the special figure fluctuation production, the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902 and , the difference from the set reliability of the LOGO background notice exceeds 10%, that is, if the current reliability of the LOGO background notice calculated in step S5902 is too low (the set reliability is 20% and the current reliability is 9%, etc.) (NO in S5903), the result determined in step S5901 is changed (S5905). That is, the LOGO background notice will be executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect of this time. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121 writes the number of executions of the LOGO background notice executed in the special figure variation effect based on the specific special figure variation pattern to the notice effect storage unit 107 and stores it in the notice effect storage unit 107. The number of executions of the LOGO background notice corresponding to the special figure variation pattern that is being done is increased by 1.

Further, when the effect control microcomputer 121 has not set the reliability of the LOGO background notice, the determination in step S5903 is performed based on the reliability of the initial value of the LOGO background notice.

In the pachinko machine PY1 of the second embodiment, the reliability of the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) designated by the player, the hit share, and the Since the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) is executed so that the reliability of the experienced LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) matches the hit share, the player specifies It is possible to prevent a large discrepancy between the reliability of the LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) and the winning share. In addition, unlike the pachinko machine PY1 of the first embodiment, there is no need to use a sorting table for LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice), thus reducing the load on the storage capacity of the RAM 124 for effects. It is possible to

Also, for example, the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice set by the production control microcomputer 121 based on the selection and determination by the player, and the production control microcomputer 121 based on the selection and determination by the player The set reliability of the LOGO background notice and the loss occupancy rate of the LOGO cut-in notice set by the production control microcomputer 121 based on the selection and determination by the player (when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss) (probability of execution of LOGO cut-in notice) and loss share of LOGO cut-in notice set by production control microcomputer 121 based on selection and determination by the player (if the result of jackpot determination is loss) The probability that the LOGO cut-in notice will be executed at the time) may correspond to the "set value regarding the set specific effect".

In each of the above embodiments, special figure variation based on a specific special figure variation pattern (special figure variation pattern "P01", "P71", "P72", "P04", "P73", "P74", see FIG. 30) A LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) was executed during execution of the effect. However, it is not limited to this. For example, during the execution of the special figure fluctuation production based on the special figure fluctuation patterns other than the special figure fluctuation patterns "P01", "P71", "P72", "P04", "P73", and "P74" LOGO notice production ( LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) may be executed.

The production control microcomputer 121 of each of the above-described embodiments sets the reliability and the winning share of the LOGO announcement production (LOGO cut-in announcement, LOGO background announcement) by the player's pressing operation of the select button 42 and the normal button 40. It was possible. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the effect control microcomputer 121 cannot set the reliability and the winning share of the LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) based on the player's pressing operation of the select button 42 and the normal button 40. It may be a configuration.

The LOGO cut-in notice in each of the above embodiments corresponds to the "suggestion effect". However, it is not limited to this. The LOGO background notice may correspond to the "suggestion effect". Also, another notice effect different from the LOGO cut-in notice and the LOGO background notice may correspond to the "suggestion effect". Here, the other notice effects include a notice effect in which a specific effect image is displayed on the display section 50a, a notice effect in which a specific sound is output from the speaker 52, and a specific lighting mode of the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54. It may be a notice effect that emits light at , a hold icon notice, a step-up notice, or the like.

In each of the above embodiments, the information stored in the effect RAM 124 of the sub-control board 120 is retained even when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered off, so the information is stored in the advance notice effect storage unit 107. The information was held even when the pachinko game machine PY1 was powered off. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the information stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 may be information that is not held when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered off. Further, for example, the information described in the notice effect storage unit 107 may be initialized by the player's pressing operation of the normal button 40 in the customer waiting effect.

In addition, in the second embodiment, information of the number of selections (see FIG. 48) in which a specific special figure variation pattern is selected is stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 . However, it is not limited to this. For example, the information of the number of times a specific special figure variation pattern is selected may be stored in the game RAM 104 . In this case, a command containing information on the number of times a specific special figure variation pattern is selected from the main control board 100 is sent to the sub control board 120, and the effect control microcomputer 121 of the sub control board 120 that receives the command , LOGO cut-in notice selection processing (S5703), and LOGO background notice selection processing (S5704).

In addition, in the second embodiment, information on the number of selections of a specific jackpot special figure variation pattern and information on the number of selections of a specific loss special figure variation pattern are stored in the notice effect storage unit 107, so that the judgment of the jackpot is performed. The resulting information was stored. However, it is not limited to this. For example, information about the result of the big hit determination may be stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 from the information of the special figure stop symbol data based on the big hit determination or the like included in the special figure fluctuation start command.

In the second embodiment, in the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5702), the effect control microcomputer 121, the information included in the received special figure variation start command is a specific special figure variation pattern ("P01", "P71 , ``P72'', ``P04'', ``P73'', ``P74'', see FIG. ), the reliability of the set LOGO cut-in notice, and the set share of the LOGO cut-in notice, whether to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation effect (See Figure 50). However, it is not limited to this. For example, in the variable effect pattern selection process (S5503), when the effect control microcomputer 121 determines the variable effect pattern that is the content of the special figure variable effect, whether or not the LOGO cut-in notice is executed and the content of the LOGO cut-in notice are determined. can be Further, for example, there may be a first variation performance pattern in which the LOGO cut-in notice is executed in the special figure variation performance and a second variation performance pattern in which the LOGO cut-in notice is not executed in the special figure variation performance. In this case, for example, in the fluctuation production pattern selection process (S5503), the production control microcomputer 121 is stored in the advance notice production storage unit 107, and the information of the number of times of selection of the specific special figure fluctuation pattern (see FIG. 48), A variable performance pattern selected based on the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice and the set winning share of the LOGO cut-in notice is switched to the first variable performance pattern or the second variable performance pattern. You can do it. With this configuration, it is possible to provide the player with an accurate LOGO cut-in notice of reliability and winning share in the special figure variation performance, depending on the determined variation performance pattern. Therefore, by varying the variation performance pattern determined by the performance control microcomputer 121 in the variation performance pattern selection process (S5503), before the execution of the special figure variation performance is completed, the big hit determination is made by the LOGO cut-in notice. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to grasp the result of . Also, a plurality of variable performance patterns including the first variable performance pattern and the second variable performance pattern may be stored in the performance RAM 124 .

In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121, the information of the number of times of selection of a specific special figure variation pattern stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 (see FIG. 48), the reliability of the set LOGO cut-in notice, When the variable effect pattern selected based on the set winning share of the LOGO cut-in notice is switched to the first variable effect pattern or the second variable effect pattern, the effect control microcomputer 121 After selecting the variable effect pattern or the second variable effect pattern, in step S5801 of the second embodiment, it may be determined whether or not the LOGO cut-in notice is to be executed. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121, after determining whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in step S5801, calculates the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice (S5802), and calculates the LOGO cut-in calculated in step S5802. It may be determined whether or not the difference between the current reliability of the notice and the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice is within 10% (predetermined value) (S5803). Furthermore, the effect control microcomputer 121, depending on the result determined in step S5803, when maintaining the result determined in step S5801 (S5804) and when changing the result determined in step S5801 (S5805) It's okay to be.

In the configuration for switching to the first variable effect pattern or the second variable effect pattern, the first variable effect pattern in which the LOGO cut-in notice is executed corresponds to the "first variable effect pattern", and the LOGO cut-in notice is The second variable performance pattern that is not executed corresponds to the "second variable performance pattern". However, it is not limited to this. For example, in the fluctuation production pattern selection process (S5503), when the production control microcomputer 121 determines the fluctuation production pattern that is the content of the special figure fluctuation production, whether or not the LOGO background notice is executed, even if the content of the LOGO background notice is decided good. In this case, for example, there may be a third fluctuation effect pattern in which the LOGO background notice is executed in the special figure fluctuation production and a fourth fluctuation production pattern in which the LOGO background notice is not executed in the special figure fluctuation production. The third variable effect pattern may correspond to the "first variable effect pattern", and the fourth variable effect pattern may correspond to the "second variable effect pattern".

In addition, in the configuration for switching to the first variable effect pattern or the second variable effect pattern, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects the specific special figure variation pattern stored in the advance notice effect storage unit 107 (Fig. 48 ) information, the reliability of the set LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice), and the hit share of the set LOGO notice effects (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice) any one of the first variable performance pattern, the second variable performance pattern, the third variable performance pattern, or the fourth variable performance pattern is determined based on good. Further, for example, there may be a fifth variation effect pattern in which a LOGO cut-in notice and a LOGO background notice are executed in the special figure fluctuation effect. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121 provides information on the number of times a specific special figure variation pattern is selected (see FIG. 48) stored in the notice effect storage unit 107, and the set LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice , LOGO background notice) and the hit share of the set LOGO notice effect (LOGO cut-in notice, LOGO background notice), the first variable effect pattern, the second variable effect pattern, Any one of the variable performance pattern may be determined from the third variable performance pattern, the fourth variable performance pattern, or the fifth variable performance pattern.

However, it is not limited to this. For example, the effect control microcomputer 121 may be able to set the loss share of the LOGO cut-in notice selected by the player. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 121, in the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5702), the information included in the received special figure variation start command is a specific special figure variation pattern ("P01", "P71", "P72 ", "P04", "P73", "P74", see FIG. 30), information on the number of times of selection of a specific special figure variation pattern stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 (see FIG. 48) And, based on the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice and the loss share of the LOGO cut-in notice, it may be determined whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation effect. . In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121, in the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5702), the information included in the received special figure variation start command is a specific special figure variation pattern ("P01", "P71", "P72" , "P04", "P73", "P74", see FIG. 30), the number of times of selection of a specific special figure variation pattern stored in the notice effect storage unit 107 (see FIG. 48) information and , Based on the set reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice, the winning share of the LOGO cut-in notice, and the loss share of the LOGO cut-in notice, the LOGO cut-in notice is executed in a special figure fluctuation performance. You may decide whether or not

In the second embodiment, in the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5702), the production control microcomputer 121 sets the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the calculated SP big hit fluctuation. Whether or not to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in step S5801 can be changed depending on whether or not the difference from the reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice in step S5801 is within 10%. However, it is not limited to this. For example, in the LOGO cut-in notice selection process (S5702), the production control microcomputer 121 is the current reliability of the LOGO cut-in notice in the special figure fluctuation production based on the calculated SP big hit fluctuation, and the set LOGO cut-in The determination of whether to execute the LOGO cut-in notice in step S5801 may be changed depending on whether the reliability matches or not without calculating the difference from the notice reliability.
