Variations include updating display of a plurality of patterns, scrolling display of a plurality of patterns, deformation of one or more patterns, enlargement/reduction of one or more patterns, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Incidentally, the variation includes a mode of blinking a certain symbol. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols to be described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation. The decorative pattern described in this specification is a large number pattern displayed in the center of the screen display, which is larger than the small pattern at the top of the decorative pattern so that the player can easily recognize it. in some cases.

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also called "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also called "second special symbols". Also, a special game using the first special game is called a "first special game", and a special game using the second special game is called a "second special game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2 . The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and displays various effects images.

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotating operation of a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1 . When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be immediately executed) , the normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In this normal pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern per pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern per pattern". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern lost pattern) other than the normal pattern winning pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". When it comes to "normal game", the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period of time and the opening control is performed (the second start winning opening is opened).

When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during execution of the special game or the period when it is controlled to the jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the type of the big hit described below) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big win" and a big winning symbol. If a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing". Incidentally, the "loss" in the pachinko game machine 1 includes a "time-saving loss" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time-saving state) without going through the big win game.

After the display result in the special game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state as an advantageous state for the player.

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until whichever comes first. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the big winning slot can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

After the jackpot game state is finished, depending on the jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time saving state, the control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) than in the normal state, and by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbols) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time-saving control, the variable probability control in which the probability that the display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The variable probability state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols is improved, and in addition, a "big hit" is likely to occur, so it is a further advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the variable probability state are continued until one of the end conditions such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and start of the next big win game state is established first. The end condition that the special figure game of a predetermined number of times has been executed is also referred to as a number cut (number cut time reduction, number cut probability variable, etc.).

The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a predetermined return after power-on, such as when the system is reset) It is the state controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

The state in which probability variable control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which probability variable control is not executed is also called a low probability state. A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state. Combining these, the time-saving state is also called a low probability / high base state, a variable probability state is a high probability / high base state, and a normal state is also called a low probability / low base state. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

Incidentally, the game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot game state. For example, when the game ball passes through the specific area, it may be controlled to the probability variable state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 are provided. lighting or extinguishing, the movement of the movable body 32, or a performance using any performance device including a part or all of these.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the image display device 5, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns), which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns, is displayed. ) is also stopped (derived).

During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end of the variable display, the variable display of the decorative design may be in a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed in a variable manner. It is the aspect that is continuing.

Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern) to the "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depends on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special game is a "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

In the case of a ``variable probability big hit'' controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed together, and the variable probability state is entered after the end of the big win game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

When the display result of the special game is "lost", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" (Also referred to as non-reach lost") may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach lost"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of variable display of decorative patterns is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("no reach") that is not a big hit combination. ”) is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach lost”).

The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (suspended display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display during execution and a pre-reading notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display before execution (variable display whose execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the display corresponding to variable display (suspended display or active display) to a mode different from normal may be executed.

Also, in the image display device 5, the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative patterns, and then the variable display is restarted, so that one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A pseudo continuous effect may be executed.

During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed.

Further, for example, when a special game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

(motion)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko game machine 1 will be described.

(Major operations of the main substrate 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main substrate 11. As shown in FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is in the OFF state, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in an ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100 . If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not established. It is sufficient that the backup data can be stored in the RAM 102 serving as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery condition can be established.

If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), after executing the restoration process (step S4), the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if the pattern variation can be restarted.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the initialization process (step S6) is performed, and then the setting change process (step S7) is performed. The initialization processing in step S6 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values are set in the work area by executing the clear processing.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting confirmation condition is satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is established, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is ON and the setting key 51 is ON when the power supply is started. The setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed when the recovery condition including the clear signal being in the OFF state is satisfied in step S3. Therefore, since the setting confirmation condition can be satisfied only when the clear signal is in the OFF state, the fact that the clear signal is in the OFF state can also be included in the setting confirmation condition.

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state is entered in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed, and the main board 11 sets the performance control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29 . When ending the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in a game stop state to stop the progress of the game. When the game is in the stopped state, shooting of game balls by operating the batted ball operation handle, detection of game balls by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbols are stopped. The display device 20 may be controlled so as to stop display of the winning symbols or the like, or display corresponding to the game stop state different from the losing symbols. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is in the ON state and the setting key 51 is turned ON when power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is on.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state is set in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be changed, and the main board 11 sets to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the setting values are displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical values displayed on the display monitor 29 are sequentially updated and displayed. After that, when the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a game hall staff member or the like, the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is updated. turn off the When ending the setting change state, a setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be put in the game stop state as in the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

On the effect control board 12 side, when a setting confirmation start command or a setting change start command is received, control may be performed to notify that the setting is being checked or that the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R, or a light-emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 may emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on by pressing a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17, for example. Therefore, if the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 and the step The setting change process of S7 is executed to enable control to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 to enable control to the setting confirmation state. If the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is off when the power supply is started, or if the setting key 51 is off, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 is executed. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery processing of step S4 is executed, but it is not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and the interrupt is permitted (step S10 ). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the jackpot game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal symbol game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41), It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal game hit". The execution of the normal pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the normal pattern reservation number is displayed by lighting the normal pattern reservation display device 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, as part of the game control timer interrupt processing, processing when power failure occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, and the like may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may transmit and set an effect control command in each of the processes described above. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, after permitting the interrupt, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, the occurrence of starting winning is detected, and the process of storing the pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a starting prize is generated, a random number value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of pre-reading and judging the display result and the variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of starting winning thus set to be transmitted is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

After executing the starting prize determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special game may be established in the order of winning (also called winning order).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12 are the same. Various tables are stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 .

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of variable display of decorative patterns), the form of variable display of decorative patterns (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of decorative patterns. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled in the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning hole, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the big winning hole is counted. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions, and processing for judging whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

The pachinko game machine 1 is configured such that the probability of winning a big hit and the rate of putting out balls are changed according to set values. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the winning probability of the big hit and the ball-out rate are changed. For example, the setting value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, and 6 is the highest probability of winning the big win, and the probability of winning the big win decreases in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 as the value decreases. In this example, when 6 is set as the setting value, the advantage for the player is the highest, and the lower the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the advantage in stages. . If the odds of winning a big hit change according to the set value, the throwing rate may also change according to the set value. While the winning probability of the big win is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the big win game state may change according to the set value. The pachinko game machine 1 may be configured so as to be able to set one of a plurality of set values with different degrees of advantage for the player. The set values set in the pachinko game machine 1 are notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table. Figure 7 (A) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variation special figure is the first special figure, and Figure 7 (B) shows that the variation special figure is the second special figure It shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used when it is a figure. A display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101 . In the display result determination table, the hit determination value compared with the random number MR1 is assigned to the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, according to the set value. The random number MR1 is a random number for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated within the range of 0-65535. As the display result determination table, a common display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

As shown in FIG. 7 (A), when the variable special figure is the first special figure, the set value is 1 and when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values that are compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. It should be noted that when the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(A).

As shown in FIG. 7 (B), when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure, the set value is 1, and if the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. It should be noted that, for the case where the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(B).

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit determination value assigned to "big hit" or "loss with time saving" in each display result determination table, as shown in FIG. In the first special figure display result determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the big hit determination values for determining the big hit regardless of the set value.

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot determination value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range from 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range from 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range from 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, if the setting value is 1, the hit determination value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, common While only numbers within the numerical range (1020-1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", if the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the jackpot determination values. A number within the range is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation determination value is in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value (1020 to 1346) of the setting value 6, with 65317 as a reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65535 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. Set to a common numeric range.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 to setting In the case of value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot judgment value is the range of 1347 to 1383 for the setting value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for the setting value 3, the range 1347 to 1487 for the setting value 4, and the range 1347 to 1556 for the setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is a variable probability state, if the set value is 1, the common numerical range ( 1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot determination values, the common numerical range plus the non-common numerical range A numerical value is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

In the second special figure display result determination table in the case where the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the big hit regardless of the set value. is set to a common numeric range for

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot determination value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range from 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range from 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range from 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the second special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the hit judgment values, only numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot judgment values, the common numerical range Numbers within the range plus the non-common number range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation determination value is in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value of the setting value 6 (1020 to 1346), with 65317 as a reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65425 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the common numerical value of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. set in the range. The characteristics of the other second special figure display result determination table are the same as those of the first special figure display result determination table.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, regardless of the set value, 65317 to When the range of 65535 is set in the common numerical range with time reduction and the deviation is the second special symbol, when the game state is the normal state and the time reduction state, the set value Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set as a common numerical range for time saving. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the rate at which the variable display result is not with the time saving is a common rate for any set value, so the gambling property depending on the set value can be prevented from becoming excessively high. In addition, for time-saving loss to which a common judgment value number is assigned for each set value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the time-saving loss reference value, in any setting value, variable display It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination of the result as being out of time saving.

In this pachinko game machine 1, the number of setting values that can be set is 6 from 1 to 6, but the number of setting values that can be set in the pachinko game machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. . Also, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The jackpot type may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value based on the assignment of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common rate regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at different ratios according to the set values based on the assignment of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the variation pattern may be determined with a common ratio regardless of the set value. A set value may be suggested by the frequency with which normal reach and super reach are performed by having the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach differ according to a set value. Alternatively, regardless of the setting value, the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach may be common. In addition, it may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestion effects at different ratios according to the set values.

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the production control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the production control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control processing, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the origin position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

Also, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

If the timer interrupt flag is ON at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands that are transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control command Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 so that the content specified by the production control command can be confirmed by the production control process processing or the like. It turns on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background corresponding to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, and the movable body 32 Control to operate various production devices such as driving operation of is performed. Further, determination, determination, setting, and the like are performed according to the effect control command and the like transmitted from the main substrate 11 regarding the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices.

Random number update processing for production|presentation is performed following the production|presentation control process processing of step S76 (step S77), and at least one part of the random number for production|presentation used by the production|presentation control board 12 side is updated by software. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S170 to S175 as described below according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32, outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving a performance control command designating the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command has elapsed without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. In the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is set to "5", which is the value corresponding to the ending production process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, effect control patterns corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Run. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

FIG. 11-3 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM101. As a special figure display result determination table, a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first special figure and A separate special figure display result determination table may be used with the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as "big win" to the big win game state is determined based on the random number value MR1 for judging the special figure display result. It is a table where

In the special figure display result determination table, depending on whether the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a probability variable state (high probability state), for special figure display result judgment A numerical value (determined value) to be compared with the random number MR1 of is assigned to the special figure display result of "jackpot" or "loss".

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment determines whether or not to control the special figure display result to the big hit game state as "big hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table, when the gaming state is a probability variable state (high probability state), more judgment values than when it is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) are special figures of "jackpot" assigned to display results. As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) where the variable probability control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state. Then, compared to the determined probability (approximately 1/319.68), the probability that the special figure display result is set as "jackpot" and controlled to the jackpot game state becomes higher (approximately 1/80.02). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is a probability variable state (high probability state), it is determined to control to a big hit game state compared to the normal state or time saving state. Judgment data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase the probability.

In the determination table stored in the ROM 101, in addition to the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. For the first special symbol), in addition to the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. A determination table (not shown) and the like are included.

Incidentally, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the probability of winning a big hit (ball throwing rate) does not change according to the set value, but the probability of winning a big win (ball throwing rate) does not change according to the set value. ) may be changed.

(Jackpot type determination table)
Figures 11-3 (C1) and 11-3 (C2) are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101 is. Of these, FIG. 11-3 (C1) determines the jackpot type using the reservation memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning port (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) This is a table for when In addition, FIG. 11-3 (C1) determines the jackpot type using the reservation memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed) This is a table of cases.

The jackpot type determination table selects a jackpot type from jackpot A to jackpot D based on a random number (MR2) for hit type determination when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot pattern. This table is referenced to determine

Here, the jackpot types in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11-3(D). In this embodiment, as the jackpot types, there are jackpot A, jackpot B, jackpot C, and jackpot D in which time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 110 variable displays after the jackpot game state ends. Also, these jackpot A, jackpot B, jackpot C, and jackpot D end the jackpot game by entering the V prize opening after the game ball enters the second jackpot in the first round of the jackpot game state. It is also a big hit in which probability variation control is executed over a maximum of 110 variable displays later.

In this embodiment, the open state of the variable V winning ball device (V lid) is a short open state (for example, 0.1 seconds) with a short open state period and a long open state with a long open period. state (eg, 15 seconds). In the jackpot A and jackpot D, the variable V prize ball device is in the short open state in the first round of the jackpot game state, and in the jackpot B and jackpot C, the variable V prize ball device is in the long open state in the first round of the jackpot game state. shall be

In the jackpot game state by ``jackpot A'', the second big prize opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is advantageous to the player in the second to sixth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot A", since the variable V winning ball device is in a short open state in the first round, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control cannot be executed. Since it cannot be expected, it becomes a substantial normal jackpot.

In the jackpot game state by the ``big win B'', the second big prize opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is advantageous to the player in the second to sixth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot B", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so that it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

In the jackpot game state by ``jackpot C'', the second big prize opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is advantageous to the player in the second to tenth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot C", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so that it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

In the jackpot game state by ``big win D'', the second big prize opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is advantageous to the player in the second to tenth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot D", the variable V winning ball device is in a short open state in the first round, making it extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control is not executed. Since it cannot be expected, it becomes a substantial normal jackpot.

In this embodiment, four types of jackpot A to jackpot D are provided as jackpot types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of jackpot types is three or less. Five or more types may be provided.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (C1), in the big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 149 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 are assigned to the big hit A. 150 to 296 are assigned to the jackpot B, and 297 to 299 are assigned to the jackpot D. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (C2), in the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol), 0 to 149 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 are assigned to the big hit B. 150 to 224 are assigned to the jackpot C, and 225 to 299 are assigned to the jackpot D.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning opening in the first round of the jackpot game state at a rate of 49%. If the V winning opening is won, probability variable control can be performed, and if the V winning opening is not won, time saving control can be performed. Furthermore, when the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning opening in the first round of the big win game state with a probability of 75%, so that the probability change control is performed after the big win game ends. and time saving control are both implemented.

In this example, even in the case of the big wins A and D, it is possible to win the V prize when the V cover is in the short-open state, but it is extremely rare, so the big wins A and D are both possible. In this case, it is assumed that the V prize is not won and the variable probability control is not executed. Also, even in the case of the big win B and the big win C, it is possible that the V prize cannot be won when the V lid is in the long open state, but it is extremely rare, so the big win B and the big win C are made. In this case, it is assumed that the V prize is won and the variable probability control is executed.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot type is determined using MR2, which is a random number value for judging the jackpot type. It may be determined using MR1, which is a random value for determination.

In addition, in the present embodiment, for example, as the jackpot type for the second special symbol, a form having jackpots B and C capable of executing variable probability control and time saving control of 110 times after the end of the jackpot game state was illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, for example, after the end of the jackpot gaming state, the time saving control is performed 1009 times (probability variable state: 110 times + time saving state A: 899 times) jackpot E etc. may be provided, By doing so, the interest is improved because the next big hit is rich, and after the end of the big hit E, even if the probability variable control ends without the big hit occurring in the 110 times probability variable state, the time saving state A (low After executing variable display 899 times without a big hit in the high/high base state), it is controlled to the time-saving state B (relief time-saving state), which will be described later, only by executing the variable display once in the normal state. Therefore, interest increases.

(Time saving times)
FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the number of time reductions for each transition opportunity. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in this example, when the jackpot A or jackpot D occurs and the game ball does not win the variable probability region, (1) the time saving control is performed 110 times, and (2 ) It is controlled to the time saving state A (in this example, the revenge chance of the time saving number of times 110 times) in which the low probability control is performed 110 times. Also, when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball wins in the probability variable area, (1) the time saving control is performed 110 times, and (2) the probability variable state in which the probability variable control is performed 110 times (In this example, it is controlled to a powerful rush of 110 times of time saving). Also, when the variable display is performed 900 times without being controlled to the big hit in the low-probability state, (1) the time-saving control is performed 1100 times, and (2) the time-saving state in which the low-probability control is performed 1100 times. It is controlled to B (in this example, 1100 times of time saving play and 1100 powerful rushes). However, even if 900 fluctuations are made again without being controlled to a big hit in a low probability state after the end of the time saving state B, it is not controlled to the time saving state B again based on this.

In addition, when the lost symbol with time saving is stopped and displayed in the normal state, (1) time saving control is performed 1100 times, and (2) time saving state B (in this example, time saving control is performed 1100 times) It may be controlled to 1100 play times and 1100 powerful rushes). In this case, even if lost symbols with time saving are stopped and displayed in a high base state (probability variable state, time saving state), transition control of the game state is not performed (control is not performed to the time saving state of 1100 times of time saving). This is in order not to reduce the degree of relief for the player. For example, if it is configured to re-control to the time-saving state of 1100 times of time-savings based on the stopped display of the lost symbols with time-saving when being controlled to the probability variable state that tends to be a big hit, the player This is not preferable because it results in control from an advantageous state to a disadvantageous state. Therefore, only when the game state under control when the missing symbols with time saving are stopped and displayed is the normal state, the game may be controlled to the time saving state of 1100 times of time saving.

In addition, a big hit D occurs, time-saving control is performed (1) time-saving control is performed 10000 times, and (2) low-precision control is performed 10000 times. ), the game state transition control is not performed when the low-probability state fluctuation is performed 900 times (does not control to the time-saving state of 1100 times of time-saving). be. This is in order not to reduce the degree of relief for the player. For example, if it is configured to re-control to the time-saving state of 1100 times of time-savings based on the stopped display of the lost symbols with time-saving when being controlled to the probability variable state that tends to be a big hit, the player This is not preferable because it results in control from an advantageous state to a disadvantageous state. Therefore, the time saving state B may be configured to be controlled to the time saving state of 1100 times of the number of times of time saving only when the game state being controlled is the normal state.

In addition, the relief time reduction arrival rate is a rate controlled to the time reduction state via the relief time reduction. Since the time-saving state via the relief time-saving is controlled by performing variable display n times (900 times in this example) without being controlled to the jackpot gaming state, the relief time-saving arrival rate K is as follows. can be calculated as

K={(1−ML)̂n}×100
(K = time saving arrival rate, ML = jackpot probability, n = variable display count)

Specifically, for example, if the jackpot probability ML in the present embodiment is approximately 1/319, the relief short-time arrival rate K is 5.9%. In addition, in the case of a gaming machine in which setting values can be set, if the set value with a low jackpot probability is set so that the relief time-saving arrival rate is high, the player can be saved even with a set value with a low jackpot probability. can do.

(fluctuation pattern)
11-5 to 11-11 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the variation pattern determination table according to the present embodiment.

FIGS. 11-5 and 11-6 show specific examples of reach determination tables for loss when the number of pending memories in the normal state is 0-3.

As shown in FIG. 11-5 (1), in the reach determination table for loss when the number of retained memories is 0 to 3, the range of MR3 is normal fluctuation, reach change, normal reach loss, weak SP reach loss, strong SP Reach is distributed to each deviation.

FIGS. 11-5 (2), (3), (4), and (5) are diagrams for explaining detailed distribution when the normal fluctuation category is selected by the reach determination table. Depending on the number of reserved memories of 0 to 3, the type of normal fluctuation is different. When the number of reserved memories is 0 to 1, the fluctuation is performed in 10000 ms, and when the number of reserved memories is 2 to 3, the fluctuation is performed in 5000 ms.

Figure 11-6 (6), (7), (8), and (9) show the detailed distribution when the reach determination table selects the reach variation, normal reach loss, weak SP reach loss, and strong SP reach loss category. It is a figure for explaining. In FIGS. 11-6 (6), (7), (8), and (9), it is assumed that each variation pattern is selected regardless of the number of retained memories (there is a common distribution for each retained number) . When reach slippage variation is selected, either end of normal reach slippage or abrupt end of high base reach slippage is selected and executed with reference to reach slippage variation in (6). When the normal reach loss is selected, the normal reach loss of (7) is referred to, and either the normal reach loss or the high base reach loss is selected and executed. When weak SP reach loss is selected, weak SP reach loss in (8) is referred to, and either tag tag reach loss or hide-and-seek reach loss is selected and executed. When strong SP reach loss is selected, one of SP reach A loss, SP reach B loss, and SP reach C loss is selected and executed with reference to the strong SP reach loss of (9).

Regardless of the normal state, probability variable state, time saving state, as a common process in the case of loss, when it is determined to be lost by referring to the jackpot determination value, the reach determination table is determined, and the reach determination table Processing is performed to determine what kind of variation to perform by referring to the corresponding variation pattern. For example, if the jackpot judgment value gets a random number that is out of reach, if the weak SP reach out is selected by referring to the reach judgment table, the weak SP reach out of (8) in Figure 11-6 of the fluctuation pattern judgment table Lack of reach of tag or loss of hide-and-seek reach is selected with reference to it.

FIG. 11-7 shows a specific example of the jackpot category selection table when the number of pending memories in the normal state is 0-3.

As shown in FIG. 11-7(1), in the jackpot category selection table when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the range of MR3 is divided into normal reach, weak SP reach, and strong SP reach.

Figures 11-7 (2), (3), (4), and (5) show detailed distribution when categories of normal reach jackpot, weak SP reach jackpot, and strong SP reach jackpot are selected by the jackpot category selection table. It is a figure for explaining. When the normal reach big win is selected, either the normal reach big win or the sudden high base reach big win is selected and executed by referring to the normal reach big win of (2). When the weak SP reach jackpot is selected, either the tag reach jackpot or the hide-and-seek reach jackpot is selected and executed with reference to the weak SP reach jackpot in (3). When the strong SP reach jackpot is selected, one of the SP reach A jackpot, SP reach B jackpot, and SP reach C jackpot is selected and executed with reference to (4) Strong SP reach jackpot.

Suddenly high base reach (hereinafter also referred to as sudden high base production) is a production that gives a range to normal production by using backgrounds and patterns used in high base during normal state fluctuations, which will be described later. Point.

Regardless of the normal state, probability variable state, time saving state, as a process commonly performed in the case of a big hit, when it is judged to be a big hit by referring to the big hit judgment value, the category selection table is determined, and the category selection table is used. Processing is performed to determine what type of variation is to be performed by referring to the variation pattern corresponding to the table. For example, when a random number with a big hit judgment value is obtained in the normal state, when a weak SP reach jackpot is selected by referring to the category selection table, the variation pattern judgment table Fig. 11-7 (3) weak With reference to the loss of SP reach, either tag reach jackpot or hide-and-seek reach jackpot is selected.

FIG. 11-8 shows a specific example of the reach determination table for losing when the number of pending memories in the variable probability state is 0-3.

As shown in FIG. 11-8 (1), in the reach determination table for loss when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the range of MR3 is divided into normal fluctuation, reach gap fluctuation, normal reach loss, and SP reach loss. ing.

FIGS. 11-8 (2) and (3) are diagrams for explaining detailed distribution of normal fluctuations. Depending on the number of reserved memories of 0 to 3, the type of normal variation is changed. When the number of reserved memories is 0, the change is performed in 6000 ms, and when the number of reserved memories is 1 to 3, the variation is performed in 1500 ms.

Figures 11-8 (4), (5), and (6) are diagrams for explaining the detailed distribution when the category of reach deviation fluctuation, normal reach loss, and SP reach loss is selected by the reach determination table for loss is. When the reach slippage variation is selected, the reach slippage variation is selected and executed with reference to the reach slippage variation in (4). When the normal reach loss is selected, the normal reach loss is selected and executed with reference to the normal reach loss of (5). When the SP reach loss is selected, referring to the SP reach loss in (6), "Align!" Lo!” One of the leeches is selected and executed. "Let the fireworks bloom!" Reach is not executed.

FIG. 11-9 shows a specific example of the jackpot category selection table when the number of pending memories in the variable probability state is 0-3.

As shown in FIG. 11-9 (1), in the jackpot category selection table when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the range of MR3 is divided into the normal reach jackpot and the SP reach jackpot, respectively.

FIGS. 11-9 (2) and (3) are diagrams for explaining the detailed sorting when the normal reach jackpot category and the SP reach jackpot category are selected by the jackpot category selection table. When the normal reach big win is selected, the normal reach big win is selected and executed with reference to the normal reach big win of (2). When the SP reach jackpot is selected, referring to the SP reach jackpot in (3), "Align!" reach, one-hit reach, "Collect the patterns!" Ro!” reach and “Hanabi wo bloom!” reach are selected and executed.

FIG. 11-10 shows a specific example of the reach determination table for loss when the number of pending memories in the time saving state is 0 to 3. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11-10 (1), in the reach determination table for loss when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the range of MR3 is divided into normal fluctuation, reach loss fluctuation, normal reach loss, and SP reach loss. ing.

FIGS. 11-10 (2) and (3) are diagrams for explaining the detailed distribution of normal fluctuations. Depending on the number of reserved memories of 0 to 3, the type of normal variation is changed. When the number of reserved memories is 0, the change is performed in 6000 ms, and when the number of reserved memories is 1 to 3, the variation is performed in 1500 ms.

Figures 11-10 (4), (5), and (6) are diagrams for explaining the detailed distribution when the category of reach deviation fluctuation, normal reach loss, and SP reach loss is selected by the reach determination table for loss is. When the reach slippage variation is selected, the reach slippage variation is selected and executed with reference to the reach slippage variation in (4). When the normal reach loss is selected, the normal reach loss is selected and executed with reference to the normal reach loss of (5). When the SP reach loss is selected, referring to the SP reach loss in (6), "Align!" Lo!” One of the leeches is selected and executed. "Let the fireworks bloom!" Reach is not executed.

FIG. 11-11 shows a specific example of the jackpot category selection table when the number of pending memories in the time saving state is 0-3.

As shown in FIG. 11-11(1), in the jackpot category selection table when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the range of MR3 is divided into the normal reach jackpot and the SP reach jackpot, respectively.

FIGS. 11-11 (2) and (3) are diagrams for explaining the detailed sorting when the normal reach jackpot category and the SP reach jackpot category are selected by the jackpot category selection table. When the normal reach big win is selected, the normal reach big win is selected and executed with reference to the normal reach big win of (2). When the SP reach jackpot is selected, referring to the SP reach jackpot in (3), "Align!" reach, one-hit reach, "Collect the patterns!" Ro!” reach and “Hanabi wo bloom!” reach are selected and executed.

Figures 11-7, 11-9, and 11-11 change pattern variation times for big hits are different from how to describe the variation pattern variation times for loses, for example, in Figure 11-7 (4). Referring to the SP reach A jackpot, it is illustrated as 80000 + 15000 (ms), but "80000ms" is the settlement part of each SP reach from the start of the fluctuation (the part before the start of the epilogue) , "15000 ms" is composed of the part from the start of the epilogue to the end of the variation, that is, the SP reach A is designed to have a variation time of "95000 ms". This is the same for variation patterns related to other big wins.

FIGS. 11-12 show the contents of effects performed in the SP reach of the high base state (probability variable state, time saving state). There are seven types of reach effects: "Align!" reach, one-shot reach, "Collect the patterns!" reach, prayer reach, continuous hit challenge reach, "accumulate power!" reach, and "fireworks bloom!" reach. There is, and the detailed explanation of the production will be described later.

The seven effects shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 include effects called operation prompting effects that encourage the player to operate buttons and levers. In addition, the reliability of the big hit is different for each of the seven effects, and the reliability of the big hit is higher when the button effect is performed than when it is not performed, and the reliability of the big hit is different depending on the type of button effect, and the button is long pressed. The reliability of the big hit is set to be higher when the operation promoting performance of pressing the button repeatedly is performed than when the operation promoting performance of pressing the button is performed. In addition, it is designed so that the reliability of the big hit is higher when the effect of pulling the lever is performed rather than when the effect of pushing the button repeatedly is performed.

FIGS. 11-13 show the contents of the performance of sudden high base reach in the normal state. The sudden high-base reach effect is common to the effect performed in the high-base state, and one of the four effects is performed.

The four effects shown in FIGS. 11-13 include effects called operation promotion effects, which urge the player to operate buttons and levers, as in FIGS. 11-12. In addition, the reliability of the big hit is different for each of the seven effects, and the reliability of the big hit is higher when the button effect is performed than when the button effect is not performed. The reliability of the big hit is set to be higher when the operation promoting performance of pressing the button repeatedly is performed than when the operation promoting performance of pressing the button is performed. In addition, it is designed so that the reliability of the big hit is higher when the effect of pulling the lever is performed rather than when the effect of pushing the button repeatedly is performed.

As explained so far, the variation in the high base state is relatively short, and the variation pattern in which the high base effect is suddenly executed in the normal state is a relatively long variation. In addition, the variation pattern of sudden high base effect may not be a dedicated variation pattern, but may be diverted to a variation pattern of normal reach loss, for example.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state (1))
11-14 to 11-19 are diagrams for explaining the flow of fluctuations in the normal state. Figures 11-14 show the variations in the situation of 100 variations to play time. "Town stage" (112SKY001) displayed in the upper left of Fig. 11-14 (A1) represents the stage where the player is currently staying.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state (2))
In FIG. 11-14 (A2), the variation is started, and in FIG. 11-14 (A3), the NEXT symbol (1962SKY007) is stopped as a special symbol indicating that the re-variable display is to be executed, and in FIG. 11-14 ( In A4), re-variable display is performed. At this time, as the re-variable display is performed, a re-variable display corresponding display (1962SKY009) such as "x2" indicating that the second variation has been performed is displayed. Furthermore, in this variation, a timer corresponding display (1962SKY008) such as "preparing" indicating that the timer announcement using the timer will be executed is displayed. In FIG. 11-14 (A5), the NEXT symbol is stopped as a special symbol indicating that the re-variable display is to be executed, and in FIG. 11-14 (A6), the re-variable display is performed. At this time, the display corresponding to the re-variable display is switched to "x3". Further, the timer display, which had been displayed as "preparing" until now, is switched to a display indicating the number of seconds as "15:00". In FIG. 11-14 (A7), the decoration pattern is in the ready-to-win mode, and the timer corresponding display is "00:00". In FIG. 11-14 (A8), the display corresponding to the timer is switched from "00:00" to "SP!". Here, focusing on FIG. 11-14 (A4), the display of the remaining number of times until the play time, which was displayed up to FIG. 11-14 (A3), is not displayed. These are described in detail below, but are intended to prevent confusion between the display of the remaining number of times up to the play time and the display of other numbers.

(Relationship between display of remaining number of times until idle time and display corresponding to re-variable display)
Here, the relationship between the display of the remaining number of times up to the play time and the display corresponding to the re-variable display will be described. In the variations explained here, the display corresponding to the re-variable display is a display using numbers such as "x2" and "x3". The display of the remaining number of times up to the play time is also a display using numbers. Therefore, if both are displayed, there is a risk of confusion. From these, the game machine terminates the display of the remaining number of times until the play time when performing the display corresponding to the re-variable display. In addition, the re-variable display corresponding display is displayed at the position where the display of the remaining number of times up to the playing time was displayed, so that it is easy for the player to notice and pays attention to how many times the re-variable display has been performed. You can concentrate on the variation without being conscious of the remaining number of times until the play time.

(Regarding the display method when ending the display of the remaining number of play times)
As a method to make the display of the remaining number of times until the play time invisible as described above, there is a method of simply ending the display of the remaining number of times until the play time, and the background where the remaining number of times until the play time is displayed is prioritized. A possible method is to display the background on which the re-variable display corresponding display is displayed (that is, the background corresponding to the re-variable display) on the layer to be displayed. When displaying the background on which the re-variable display compatible display is displayed, it is preferable to make the switching of the background inconspicuous by moving the character object or displaying an effect display.

(Relationship between display of remaining number of times until idle time and display corresponding to timer)
Here, the relationship between the display of the remaining number of times until the play time and the display corresponding to the timer will be described. The timer notice displays the number of seconds, updates the number of seconds, and when the number of seconds reaches "00:00", displays a notice to be executed after that, or displays a display suggesting the degree of expectation. It is a notice to do. In the variations explained here, the timer-based display is a display using numbers such as "15:00" and "00:00". The display of the remaining number of times up to the play time is also a display using numbers. Therefore, if both are displayed, there is a risk of confusion. For these reasons, the gaming machine terminates the display of the remaining number of times until the play time when performing the timer corresponding display. In addition, by displaying the display corresponding to the timer at the position where the display of the remaining number of times until the play time was displayed, it is easy for the player to notice the number of seconds of the timer, and at the same time the remaining number of times until the play time is displayed. You can focus on the change without making it conscious. In particular, it is possible to prevent confusion in advance by ending the display of the remaining number of times from the stage of the display of "preparing", in which the number corresponding to the timer has not yet been displayed, to the play time. , the player can be made to pay attention to how many seconds are displayed.

(Regarding the trigger for ending the display of the remaining number of times until the play time)
The trigger for ending the display of the remaining number of times until the play time is not limited to the execution of the re-variable display and the execution of the timer notice, but may be the execution of the SP reach. During the SP reach, a lot of the display area is used to secure the display area for the reason of wanting to incite whether it will be a big hit, and for the reason of wanting to focus on whether it will be a big hit, the number of remaining times until the play time is not conscious. This is for both reasons. If the re-variable display or timer notice is not executed, as shown in Figure 11-14 (A8) to Figure 11-15 (A9), at the timing of moving from the normal background to the background corresponding to SP reach B, until play time display of the remaining number of times of . Note that both the display corresponding to the revariable display and the display corresponding to the timer are displays using numbers, and the background display of the SP reach B shown in FIG. 11-15 (A9) is a display using no numbers. In this way, the display using numbers makes it difficult to see the display of the remaining number of times until the play time is displayed, and the display that does not use numbers makes it difficult to see the play time. There is a second case in which the display of the remaining number of times is difficult to see. Between the first case and the second case, since it is necessary to prevent confusion between numbers in the first case, in the case of the first case, an effect is added to the display of the remaining number of play times, and the number of remaining play time is displayed. is made difficult to see first, the display is terminated, and then the display corresponding to re-variable display and the display corresponding to the timer are displayed. In the second case, the background It is preferable that the display of the number of remaining times up to the play time is terminated by switching to . In addition, when only the display corresponding to the re-variable display is displayed, and when only the display corresponding to the timer is displayed, when only the display corresponding to the re-variable display is displayed, the background display corresponding to the re-variable display is switched. If the display of the remaining number of times until play time is difficult to see and only the timer display is displayed, the display of the remaining number of times until play time can be displayed by overlapping the timer display on the display of the remaining number of times until play time. It is preferable to make it difficult to see and to make it difficult to see in a manner corresponding to each notice. As shown in Fig. 11-14, when both the display corresponding to the re-variable display and the display corresponding to the timer are displayed, the background display corresponding to the re-variable display is switched, making it difficult to see the remaining number of times until the play time. (It should be designed to make it difficult to see in a manner according to one predetermined notice). In addition, as for the timer advance notice, after the timer reaches "00:00" and the display of the advance notice to be executed thereafter or the display suggesting the degree of expectation is performed, the display of the timer correspondence display ends, so at that timing, The display of the remaining number of times until the play time may be made visible. In that case, when the display corresponding to the timer ends, an effect is displayed, and when the effect display is displayed, the remaining number of times until the play time is displayed is displayed so that it can be visually recognized. can be

(Flow of fluctuations in normal conditions (3))
11-15 and 11-16 are diagrams for explaining the SP reach B. FIG. The flow of production is as shown in the figure. After FIG. 11-15 (A14), if the variation pattern is a big hit, FIG. 11-16 (A17) is executed. After FIG. 11-15 (A14), FIG. 11-16 (A18) is executed if the variation pattern is a failure or a relief variation pattern.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state (4))
As shown in FIGS. 11-16 (A16) (A17), as a result of SP reach B, it is reported that it is a big hit, and then FIGS. 11-17 (A21) ~ (A24), (A26) ~ (A28) change progresses in the flow of More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-16 (A16), the enemy character is knocked down, the ally character is raised with a happy face, and the characters "Victory!" After that, as shown in FIG. 11-16 (A17), on the background of FIG. 11-16 (A16), the display (666) with all the decorative patterns is highlighted and displayed. As a result, it is notified that 6 symbols have been aligned and a big hit has been achieved. In the display of FIG. 11-16 (A17), the characters "Victory!" are not displayed. This is to prevent the decorative pattern from becoming difficult to see due to the display of characters. After that, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A21) and (A26), if the probability variable jackpot wins, the decorative pattern changes, and if the normal jackpot wins, the decorative pattern remains unchanged. More specifically, as shown in Figure 11-17 (A21), if it is a probability variable jackpot, the background of the normal state from the background corresponding to SP reach B in Figure 11-16 (A17) The background corresponding to the stage that was displayed at that time) is switched to, and a smoke effect (1962SKY031) is displayed on it. After that, as shown in FIG. 11-17 (A22), the decorative patterns are displayed in a manner in which the patterns of 1 are aligned, and then, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A22) (A23) (A24), the decorative patterns are stopped. It is displayed, shifts to the big win state, and after the big win state ends, it is controlled to the variable probability state. Also, as shown in FIG. 11-17 (A26), if it is a normal jackpot, the background corresponding to SP reach B in FIG. The background is switched to the background corresponding to the stage that was being played), and the decoration patterns are displayed in a manner in which the 6 patterns are arranged on the normal background. After that, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A27) and (A28), the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, the state shifts to the big win state, and after the big win state ends, the time saving state A is controlled. Here, focusing on FIGS. 11-17 (A21) and (A26), in the normal background at this time, it is designed not to display the remaining number display until the play time shown in FIG. 11-14 (A1). there is By configuring in this way, when the remaining number of times until the play time was small, I wanted to hit the jackpot after entering the play time. To prevent disappointment such as a feeling of disappointment such as being advantageous for a player, such as a large number of balls being put out inside.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state (5) (Pattern of fluctuation of PA2-3 (offset))
As shown in FIGS. 11-16 (A18) and (A19), as a result of SP reach B, it is notified that it is lost, and then the fluctuation progresses in the flow of FIGS. 11-18 (A29) to (A31). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-16 (A18), the enemy character does not fall, the ally character is raised with a troubled face, and the characters "defeated..." are displayed. 11-16 (A19), a display (676) in which decorative patterns are not aligned is displayed on the background of FIG. 11-16 (A18), as shown in FIG. 11-16 (A19). By doing so, it is reported that the error is occurred. In the display of FIG. 11-16 (A19), the characters "defeat..." are not displayed. This is to prevent the decorative pattern from becoming difficult to see due to the display of characters. After that, if it is a normal state, as shown in FIG. (background corresponding to the stage that had been displayed), and a display (676) in which the decorative patterns are not aligned is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 11-18 (A30), the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 11-18 (A31), the variation corresponding to the next start winning is started. Focusing on FIG. 11-18 (A29), the normal background at this time is designed to display the remaining number of times until play time shown in FIG. 11-14 (A1). When compared with FIGS. 11-17 (A21) and (A26), it is possible to make a difference between a big hit and a loss depending on the presence or absence of the display of the remaining number of times until the play time, It is possible to indirectly recognize whether it is a big hit or a loss. 11-18 (A30), the decoration pattern is stopped, and in conjunction with this timing, the display of the remaining number of times until play time is updated from "100" to "99". With such a configuration, it is possible to clearly indicate that the current variation is a loss by both the stop of the decoration pattern and the display of the remaining number of times until the play time. For such a design, it is necessary to display the remaining number of times until the play time at the timing of FIG. 11-18 (A29).

(Regarding the update of the remaining number display until play time and the shift of the pending display)
As shown in Fig. 11-18 (A30), at the timing when the display of the remaining number of times until the play time is updated, the displayed hold display shifts (the hold display moves closer to the active display area, this time the active moving to the display area) is not performed. As shown in FIG. 11-18 (A31), the display of the remaining number of times until play time is updated, and then the pending display shifts to the active display area. With this configuration, the player will not miss the update of the display of the remaining number of times up to the play time due to paying attention to the shifting hold display.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state (6) (variation pattern due to relief (jackpot))
As shown in FIGS. 11-16 (A18) and (A19), as a result of SP reach B, it is notified that it is a miss, and then the fluctuation progresses in the flow of FIGS. 11-19 (A32) to (A35). Since the variation pattern due to relief is a pattern that indicates a big hit after showing a loss, the flow up to FIG. 11-19 (A32) is the same as the flow up to FIG. 11-18 (A29). 11-19 (A33) onwards, the display corresponding to the fluctuation pattern due to the remedy is developed. Here, focusing on FIG. 11-19 (A32), by displaying the remaining number of times until the play time, it is different from the normal background at the time of the big hit, as shown in FIGS. It is designed to prevent the fact that it is a relief variation pattern by making it flow in the same way as the deviation pattern. Here, if we pay attention to FIG. 11-19 (A32), since it is a variation pattern due to relief in the normal state, as in FIG. Is displayed.

(Flow of fluctuation in the variable state (1))
The flow of variation in the probability variation state will be explained using FIGS. 11-20 to 11-23. FIG. 11-20 (B1) shows a situation where the variable probability state (110 rotations) and the remaining 100 times of the variable probability state. As the display displayed in the variable probability state, "powerful RUSH" (112SKY002) indicating the current staying state, the remaining number of times in the variable probability state (112SKY003), and the right-handed notification display (112SKY004) prompting the player to hit right. is displayed.

(Flow of fluctuation in the variable state (2))
Fig. 11-20 (B2) shows the start of variation and (B3) the end of one rotation. Here, the hold display (112SKY006) increases (B4), and the hold display is slid to the left and changed into the active display. At the time of fluctuation, a pre-reading notice (112SKY007) is made as shown in (B5), suggesting that something may happen to the player. At (B6), the pattern is stopped, at (B7), a look-ahead notice (112SKY007) which is the same type as the previous look-ahead notice but with slightly different performance contents is performed, and at (B8), the pattern is stopped.

(Flow of fluctuation in the variable state (3))
After the symbols stop in FIG. 11-20 (B8), the variation starts in FIG. 11-21 (B9).
During the variation, the SP reach "Consecutive hit challenge reach" is performed as shown in (B10) and (B11), and the determination of the big hit is displayed. Details of the "Consecutive Hit Challenge Reach" will be described with reference to FIG. 11-41.

(Flow of fluctuation in the variable state (4))
In FIG. 11-21 (B10) (B11), after the "Consecutive hit challenge reach" is performed, if it is an effect (B12) to notify the effect of the big hit, the screen will be as shown in FIG. 11-22 (B14) It blacks out (112SKY012), and a line of light (112SKY013) is emitted from the upper left of the screen toward the lower right of the screen. After that, as shown in (B16), the big hit round screen is started and the game grade is awarded. The number of obtained balls is displayed as "○○○○ ball" (112SKY014) displayed on the right side of the screen, and the number of obtained balls obtained by the player is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. After finishing all the jackpot rounds, if the odds are odd, ``powerful RUSH'' (112SKY015) is displayed to make it easy to understand that the odds are changing. Then, the screen is switched from "powerful RUSH" (112SKY015), and after the symbol of the big hit state is displayed at (B18), the 110 times probability variation state is started again.

(Flow of fluctuation in the variable state (5))
In Figures 11-21 (B10) (B11), after the "Consecutive Hit Challenge Reach" is performed, if there is an effect (B13) that informs the fact that it is lost, the screen slowly appears after Figure 11-21 (B13) becomes darker and returns to the same background as in FIG. 11-21 (B1). In FIG. 11-23 (B20), after returning to the same background as in FIG. 11-21 (B1), the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed. , indicates that the fluctuation ends here, and the flow is changed using a hold at (B22).

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state Sudden high base production (1))
11-24 to 11-27, a description will be given of the flow of sudden high-base effect fluctuations in the normal state. Figures 11-24 (C1) and (C2), like Figures 11-14, show that the fluctuation has started. (C3) shows how the stage change effect is performed. It is displayed and an arrow extends to the transition destination stage. The arrow disappears when it reaches the stage (112SKY017) to which the stage changes. (C4) is the display after the arrow disappears. In the display of (C4), the stage to be shifted by the stage change and the character display (112SKY016) corresponding to the stage are displayed. After being displayed, the stage to be shifted by the stage change is enlarged on the screen, and the background when the decoration pattern is temporarily stopped and the probability change state is displayed as shown in (C5). Although the background of the probability variation state is displayed, the background of the probability variation state indicates that the right hitting notification is not displayed and that it is a production in the normal state. The flow from (C6) to (C13) in Figures 11-25 and 26 after the background of the probability change state is displayed is shown in Figures 11-20, 11-21, and 11-20 while using pseudo fluctuations to make advance notice. Perform the same flow as the variation in the probability variation state of 11-23.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state Sudden high base production (2))
In Figure 11-25 (C10) (C11), after the "Consecutive Hit Challenge Reach" is performed, if the effect (C12) is to notify the effect of a big hit, blackout as shown in Figure 11-26 (C14) After that, the accessory (112SKY018) falls to the center of the screen, and the entire screen becomes a rainbow background (112SKY019) as shown in (C15), making it easy for the player to know that he has won a big hit. After that, at (C16), after the accessory returns to its original position (upper part of the screen), a decorative pattern is displayed from the center of the screen to notify that a big win has been achieved. At this time, the decoration pattern is highlighted (112SKY020), and it is possible to emphasize that the player has won a big win.

(Flow of fluctuation in normal state Sudden high base production (3))
In FIG. 11-25 (C10) (C11), after the “Consecutive Hit Challenge Reach” is performed, if the effect (C13) is to notify the fact that it is lost, the stage change effect will be performed as shown in FIG. 11-27. (C13) is displayed in a reduced size, and an arrow that makes it easy to understand the transition destination is displayed from the reduced display, and the arrow extends to the transition destination stage, and as in (C18), transition is made by stage change. A stage, a character display corresponding to the stage, and a telop (112SKY024) of the stage name are displayed. After being displayed, the stage to be shifted by the stage change is enlarged on the screen, and the display returns to the normal state with the decoration pattern still displayed as in (C19). In FIG. 11-27, the stage may be designed to return to the same stage although it is different from the stage before the transition to the high-base presentation. After that, as in (C20), the change of the normal state is started.

(Fluctuation flow in normal state Sudden high base production Effect and intention)
Sudden high-base production uses the variation in the probability variation state to perform pseudo-variation, and the pseudo-variation varies the decorative pattern, temporarily stops the fluctuation, and after the temporary stop, the decorative pattern is restarted without digesting the hold. The variation is performed many times, and the player can feel a hitting feeling similar to that of a high base, which improves the interest in the game. In addition, the repurposed production includes a pre-reading notice, and the suddenly high-base production can be made to look like a pre-reading notice by making it look like it fluctuates multiple times even though it is a pseudo-fluctuation. After that, it is possible to perform whether or not the ready-to-win effect is performed as if it were a high base, so that the hit feeling of a high base can be felt.

(Comparison between high base middle and sudden high base production)
FIG. 11-28 is a diagram for comparison between high-base middle (probability variable state) and suddenly high-base production. In the high base (probable variable state), "powerful RUSH" (112SKY002) indicating the current staying state, the remaining number of probability variable states (112SKY003), and the right-handed notification display (112SKY004) that urges the player to hit right are displayed. It is In the suddenly high-base effect, "powerful RUSH" (112SKY002), which indicates the current staying state, is displayed using the background of the probability change state. The presence or absence of display is different between the high base medium (variable probability state) and the sudden high base production, and the remaining number of probability variable state and the right hitting notification display prompting the player to hit right are displayed during the high base (variable probability state). However, it is not displayed in the sudden high base production. As for the display of the remaining number of times, since it is an effect performed by one variation of the normal state, if it is displayed, it may be displayed as long as it conveys to the player that the remaining number of times is one rotation.

(Comparison effect and intention of high base medium and sudden high base production)
During the sudden high-base production, the remaining number of times of the variable probability state and the right-handed information display for prompting the player to hit right-handed are not displayed as described above. By not displaying, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding the current state (normal state).

(High base and sudden high base production pattern feed speed)
FIG. 11-29 is a diagram of the symbol feeding speed during the high base (probability variable state) and suddenly in the high base production. FIG. 11-29 shows a case where the symbol feeding speed in the variable probability state and the sudden high base state is the same number of seconds and the symbol feeding is started at the same timing. The number of seconds is 3 seconds, 2 variations can be performed in the variable probability state, and 2 variations can be performed in the pseudo variation even in the sudden high base production. Sudden high-base production is a production that uses the variation of the probability variation state, so the speed of symbol feeding is the same.

(High base and suddenly high base production speed of pattern feed effect and intention)
The speed of pattern feeding for high base and sudden high base production is the same. Sudden high base production is a production that is performed using a high base (probability variable state) production, so the speed of pattern feeding is inevitably the same. By using the image of high base (probability variable state) even in the normal state, the hitting feeling of high base can be felt, and the amusement of the game is improved.

(Regarding average fluctuation time in normal state and variable state)
The average variation time of the normal state and the probability variable state is shorter in the probability variable state than in the normal state. 11-5 and 11-6 are referred to to calculate the average fluctuation time in the normal state (100 rpm hold 2 to 3 are limited to failure). Referring to Figures 11-5 and 11-6, the ratio of effects performed at 100 spins is normal variation, reach-miss variation, normal reach loss, weak SP reach loss, strong SP reach loss: 8.1:1.05: It has a ratio of 0.55:0.25:0.05, and when calculated based on this, it is about 405 seconds for normal fluctuation at 100 rotations, about 157 seconds for reach slippage fluctuation, and about 137 seconds for normal reach deviation. , the weak SP reach loss is about 150 seconds, the strong SP reach loss is about 50 seconds, and the variation of 100 rotations takes about 900 seconds, and the average variation time is 9 seconds.

(Regarding average fluctuation time in normal state and variable state)
Calculate the average variation time of the probability variation state with reference to FIG. Referring to FIG. 11-8, the ratio of effects performed at 100 rotations is normal fluctuation, reach gusset fluctuation, normal reach loss, SP reach loss, at a ratio of 8.7: 0.7: 0.48: 0.12 Calculating based on this, the fluctuation performed at 100 rotations is about 130 seconds for normal fluctuation, about 42 seconds for reach gap fluctuation, about 43 seconds for normal reach deviation, and about 12 seconds for SP reach deviation. It can be seen that it takes about 227 seconds for a variation of , and the average variation time is 2.3 seconds.

(Regarding average fluctuation time in normal state and variable state)
As mentioned above, it can be seen that the average fluctuation time is shorter in the probability change state than in the normal state. Also, this time, we limited it to 100 rotations, hold 2 to 3, and all misses, but the reason for limiting it in this way is that even if the change is performed under the same conditions, the variable state is faster than the normal state. Because I want to Originally, the normal state is more difficult to change than the probability variable state, so if you calculate without considering the suspension conditions, the average change time of the normal state will be longer. In addition, the average fluctuation time of the sudden high base production that is performed in the normal state is the production that is performed by diverting the pseudo fluctuation and SP reach that are performed when there is no hold in the probability variable state, so it is more than the normal state. , the average fluctuation time is shorter in the sudden high-base production.

(Stage change (1))
The flow of the stage change to the normal state will be explained using FIG. 11-30. (AA-1) indicates that the fluctuation has started. (AA-2) shows how the stage change effect is performed, the stage originally stayed is reduced (112SKY021), and the transition destination can be understood from the reduced display in (AA-3). An arrow (112SKY022) to make it easier is displayed, and a plurality of reduced stages are displayed as in (AA-4). A plurality of stages displayed is a stage (112SKY025) to which it is not known whether the stage will be shifted to. At (AA-5), the arrow arrives at the stage (112SKY017) to which the stage changes and the arrow disappears. A telop (112SKY024) of the stage name is displayed. After being displayed, the stage to be shifted by the stage change is enlarged on the screen, and the stage is changed while the decoration pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed as shown in (AA-7), and after a few seconds, the decoration pattern is stopped.

(Stage change (2))
The flow of the stage change that is performed when suddenly transitioning to the high-base effect that is performed in the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-31. (AB-1) indicates that the fluctuation has started. (AB-2) shows how the stage change effect is performed. An arrow (112SKY022) to make it easier is displayed, and a plurality of scaled-down stages are displayed like (AB-4) and (AB-5). A plurality of stages displayed is a stage (112SKY025) to which it is not known whether the stage will be shifted to. At (AB-6), an arrow arrives at the stage (112SKY017) to which the stage changes, and the arrow disappears. As in (AB-7), the stage to which the stage changes and the character corresponding to that stage are displayed. be done. A name corresponding to the stage (powerful RUSH) is displayed on the stage to which the transition is made. After being displayed, the stage to be shifted by the stage change is enlarged on the screen, and the stage is changed while the decoration pattern is temporarily stopped as shown in (AB-8), and the high-base production suddenly starts.

(Stage change (1) (2) effect and intention)
Sudden high base effect is performed by diverting up to (AA-5) of stage change (1) that is performed in the normal state. From (AA-2) to (AA-4), the stage change (2) of sudden high base production is diverted and used, and from (AA-5), (AB-5) (AB-6) , the stage change effect is shown longer than the stage change effect of stage change (1) to make it difficult for the player to understand which stage to enter. In this way, by performing the same movement as the stage change (1) that is performed in the normal state, it is possible to suddenly show a high-base performance while letting the player know that the stage will change. Furthermore, by showing a reduced stage, the stage is determined, and the stage is displayed on the entire screen, it is easy to understand which stage you will enter. Furthermore, the stage change (2) with a sudden high-base effect is shown longer than the stage change (1), so that the stage change can be made to have a sense of incongruity, thereby improving the amusement of the game. Furthermore, in the stage change, the character corresponding to the stage is displayed before entering the determined stage. By displaying the corresponding character, it is possible to rush into the stage corresponding to the corresponding character, making it easy to understand that the stage has been entered. Furthermore, in stage change (1), in addition to a reduced stage and the character corresponding to that stage, the stage name corresponding to that stage is displayed, making it easy to understand that the stage will be entered. However, in the stage change (2), which is performed suddenly with a high-base effect, the stage name corresponding to the stage is not displayed, so as not to make the player think that the state has shifted to the high-base state. In addition, the name corresponding to the transition stage (Powerful RUSH) is displayed on the upper left of the screen as shown in Fig. 11-28. It makes it easier to understand what has been done. Furthermore, after the stage change (2), when the background of the high base is entered, the pattern is temporarily stopped, and the temporary stop informs the player that the background has changed in an easy-to-understand manner. It's like In addition, the stage you are currently staying on is displayed on the upper left of the screen, and the high base name is displayed in the sudden high base production. Such display makes it easy to recognize that a high-base effect is being performed. Furthermore, although not shown, in the stage change (1), the background other than the reduced screen displayed when the screen is reduced may be any background that shows the frame of the reduced screen. Also, in the stage change (2), the background other than the reduced screen displayed when the screen is reduced may be a different background from the stage change (1). For example, in stage change (1), the background other than the reduced screen uses white colors, while in stage change (2), the background other than the reduced screen uses black. colors may be used. By doing so, it is possible to make it different from a normal stage change and draw attention to it. Also, although not shown, (AB-2) to (AB-7) are effects that are performed for a longer period than (AA-2) to (AA-6), and the player can change the stage ( 2) can instill a sense of incongruity, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

(Stage change (3) modification)
A modified example of the stage change that is performed when suddenly transitioning to the high-base effect that is performed in the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-32. (AC-1) and (AC-2) indicate that the change started from the customer waiting screen. In (AC-3), a pre-reading notice (112SKY007) performed at a high base is suddenly performed. The pre-reading notice given in (AC-3) is similar to the pre-reading notice given on the high base, but the display mode is different and the frame of the telop is jagged. After that, in (AC-4), the background and the form of the pre-reading notice change, and suddenly a high-base effect is performed. The pre-reading notice has the same display mode as the pre-reading notice performed on a high basis.

(Stage change (3) Modification Effect and intention)
Stage change (3) changes the display method in part when the pre-reading notice performed at high base is in the normal state, and suddenly performs high base production, making it smoother and more immediate than stage change (2). It can lead to a sudden high-base production, and the game interest is improved. Also, although not shown, the pre-reading notice (introduction effect) of (AC3) is longer than the pre-reading notice of (C6), and the length until the arrow reaches the stage is different. Note the stage change (3). In addition, the pre-reading notice that is performed as an introduction effect of the sudden high base effect is different from the pre-reading notice that is performed at the high base. It is possible to avoid misunderstanding that it is not.

(Stage change (4) modification)
A modified example of the stage change that is performed when suddenly transitioning to the high-base effect that is performed in the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-33. (AD-1) and (AD-2) indicate that the change started from the customer waiting screen. In (AD-3), a character (112SKY009) is displayed, a line (112SKY027) for changing the stage is displayed, only the background is whited out, and a scaled-down stage is displayed next to the character. In the reduced display, as will be described later, the display of the variable probability state and the stage higher than the variable probability state are displayed. A stage in which the character is reduced is selected, the stage (112SKY017) to which the character transitions is enlarged and displayed as in (AD-5), and the stage (112SKY027) to which the character does not transition is further reduced and displayed. In addition, a highlight (112SKY028) is displayed on the enlarged display of the transition stage. After that, the transition stage is enlarged and displayed on the entire screen as shown in (AD-6). The displayed screen is displayed in a state in which the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped.

(Stage change (4) Modification effect and intention)
The stage change (4) is different from the stage change (1) that is normally performed, and is performed only with a sudden high-base performance, giving a special feeling and improving the game interest. Furthermore, the scaled-down display shows a variable probability state and a higher stage than the variable probability state, and the amusement of the game is improved by having different kinds of shift destinations of the high-base performance. Furthermore, the stage in which the high-base effect is suddenly performed is internally determined, and the player does not know which stage will be selected (randomly), thereby improving the amusement of the game. Furthermore, by highlighting the enlarged display of the transition stage, it becomes easier for the player to understand that the highlighted stage has been selected. Also, a scaled-down stage is displayed next to the character, and the player may be allowed to select the stage. By doing so, the player can select and decide, and the amusement of the game is improved. In this embodiment, highlighting means displaying an effect around the background display on the liquid crystal display, and displaying the background display selected on the liquid crystal display larger than the background display not selected. While applicable, it may also apply to display selected background representations brighter and non-selected background representations darker than selected background representations.

(Suddenly fluctuations in high-base production)
11-34 and 11-35 will be used to explain the pseudo-variation performed in the suddenly high-base effect. (BA-1) shows the timing at which the high-base presentation suddenly begins and the stage changes. From there, a pseudo-fluctuation is performed by simply advancing the symbols from (BA-2) to (BA-5). (BA-6) to (BA-11) are pseudo fluctuations, but are performed on a high basis after (BA-11) is conducted with a pseudo fluctuation with a pre-reading notice that is performed on a high basis. Either SP reach is performed, or a stage change effect that returns to normal is performed.

(Variation effects and intentions in sudden high-base production)
In the high-base state, a pseudo-fluctuation is performed at the time of the losing fluctuation when the number of holds is 0, and suddenly the high-base effect is diverted. Furthermore, during the sudden high-base production, the production of pre-reading notice is mixed in the pseudo-fluctuation. By suddenly mixing this high-base element with the high-base effect, it is possible to have the player feel the hit feeling of the high base under normal conditions.

(Suddenly no change in high-base production SP reach development)
A case in which SP reach does not develop after a sudden high-base performance pseudo-variation will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-36. 11-34 to 11-35 are omitted from (BB-1) to (BB-3), explanation will be made from (BB-4). (BB-4) is a diagram when SP reach is not performed after (BB-3). ) to (AA-8) return to the normal state using the stage change in the normal state.

In the high base state, there is an effect to determine the success or failure by performing SP reach, so I will explain one by one.

(Production performed at a high base (1))
I will explain the “sort!” production. FIG. 11-37 (CA-1) shows the state during fluctuation, and (CA-2) shows that "2" is temporarily stopped in the left and right decorative symbols, and the ready-to-win state is reached. At (CA-3), "1" is about to stop in the middle decorative pattern, and "2" in the decorative pattern is about to push out there. At (CA-4), a cut-in 112SKY030 displaying a character 112SKY009 is displayed. After that, when the decorative patterns are aligned, the patterns are temporarily stopped as shown in (CA-5). become a state.

(Production performed at a high base (2))
I will explain the one-shot performance. FIG. 11-38 (CB-1) shows the state during fluctuation, and (CB-2) shows that "2" is temporarily stopped in the left and right decorative symbols, and the ready-to-win state is reached. At (CB-3), "1" is about to stop in the middle decorative pattern, and "2" in the decorative pattern is about to push out there. At (CB-4), a button display 112SKY031 prompting the player to single-press the button is displayed. As shown in (CB-5), the symbols are arranged in a temporary stop state, and if they are not arranged, the center decorative pattern is in a state where "1" is stopped as shown in (CB-6).

(Production performed at a high base (3))
A description will be given of the production of "Align the patterns!" FIG. 11-39 (CC-1) shows the state of change, and button displays are displayed in front of the changing decorative pattern in (CC-2), and characters are displayed around them. As shown in (CC-3) and (CC-4), the decorative symbols stop when the player presses the button, and when the player presses the button for the third time, it is possible to know whether the game is successful or not. When the decorative patterns are aligned, the patterns are temporarily stopped as shown in (CC-5). Become.

(High base and sudden high base production (1))
Explain the prayer performance. This effect is performed in the high base state and the sudden high base effect. FIG. 11-40 (CD-1) shows the state during variation, and (CD-2) displays the title 112SKY032, which is darkened during the variation and indicates that a prayer effect will be performed. In (CD-3), a pose in which the character is praying is displayed, and the reach state is entered at this timing. After reaching the ready-to-win state, a long-pressing button display 112SKY033 prompting a long-pressing of the button to destroy the decoration pattern in the middle is displayed as in (CD-4). The character also takes a pose that continues to pray until the button's effective period, and if it succeeds, the patterns are aligned in a state of temporary stop as shown in (CD-5), and the character has a happy expression. If it fails, it will be in a state where "1" is stopped in the middle decorative pattern as in (CD-6), then it will turn black and return to the background of the high base state.

(High base and sudden high base production (2))
Description will be given of the continuous hit challenge effect. This effect is performed in the high-base state and the sudden high-base effect, and in the sudden high-base effect, the right-handed display and, in some cases, the remaining count display are not displayed. FIG. 11-41 (CE-1) shows the state during variation, and (CE-2) displays a title 112SKY010 indicating that a repeated hitting challenge effect will be performed. At (CE-3), a pose in which the character is praying is displayed. Hit repeatedly, and if you can light up all of them, you will win a big hit. If it succeeds, the letters "FEVER" are all illuminated as shown in (CE-4), and the character has a happy expression. In the case of misalignment, all the characters of "FEVER" are turned off and the entire screen becomes dim as shown in (CE-5). It then fades to black and returns to the high base state background.

(High base and sudden high base production (3))
I will explain the production of “accumulate your power!”. This effect is performed in the high base state and the sudden high base effect. FIG. 11-42 (CF-1) illustrates the change, and (CF-2) displays the title 112SKY036 indicating that the effect of "accumulate power!" will be performed. In (CF-3), a telop 112SKY051 describing how to get a big hit is displayed. In (CF-4), the character hidden in the telop is wrapped in an aura, and on the left and right are displayed the parameter 112SKY037, which shows that the character's power is accumulated, and the repeated button presses prompting the player to repeatedly press the button. It will be a big hit by accumulating all the parameters. In the case of a big hit, the character creates a ball-like energy bullet 112SKY039 and throws it at the screen, as in (CF-5), and then the screen hits as in (CF-6). It is broken and displayed in a form in which the decorative pattern pops out to notify that a big hit has been achieved. If you miss it, the entire screen will be dark without the parameters being accumulated, as in (CF-7). It then fades to black and returns to the high base state background.

(High base and sudden high base production (4))
Explain the production of "Let the fireworks bloom!" This effect is performed in the high-base state and the sudden high-base effect, and in the sudden high-base effect, the right-handed display and, in some cases, the remaining count display are not displayed. FIG. 11-43 (CG-1) illustrates the change, and (CG-2) displays the title 112SKY041 indicating that the effect "Let the fireworks bloom!" will be performed. In (CG-3), a screen is displayed in which fireworks are launched from above. In (CG-4), fireworks 112SKY043 are shot up into the air, and as in (CG-5), a lever display 112SKY044 prompting the lever to be pulled is displayed. As in -6), fireworks will always bloom and you will get a big hit.

(Effects and intentions of performances performed at a high base and performances performed at a high base and suddenly with a high base)
Here, the contents of FIGS. 11-12 and 11-13 will be described together. Sudden high-base production is sometimes performed using SP reach, which causes a production to operate buttons and levers that are performed in high-base state, so you can feel the hit feeling of high base at normal times while suppressing the capacity. It's like In addition, the SP reach used in the sudden high base effect is all displayed to prompt the player to operate (buttons and levers) in some way, and compared to the SP reach during the high base state, the sudden high base The effect makes it easier for the player to display a display prompting him to perform some kind of operation (button or lever). This makes it easier to feel the hitting feeling of high base. In addition, SP reach, which is used in a sudden high-base effect, does not display any display prompting the player to operate (buttons or levers) in any way, but the player can perform some operation (buttons or levers) from the high-base state. It should be designed so that the display prompting the lever) is displayed at a high rate. As a result, it is possible to make it easier to feel the hit feeling of a high base. Furthermore, although not shown, the timing at which the display prompting the player to perform the operation is displayed is made different from each other, thereby adding variation to the game and enhancing the interest in the game. In addition, SP reach has a single button press, a long button press, repeated button hits, and a lever effect. By making such a difference, attention can be paid to the types of buttons and levers. In addition, among them, the lever display indicates that the big hit has been confirmed. Furthermore, the high base and sudden high base effects are all displayed in the same way as described above, except that the right-handed display and the remaining number display are not displayed in some cases. By doing so, it is possible for the player to feel a hit feeling similar to that of a higher base. In addition, although not shown, there is also a chance-up pattern (for example, the characters turn red and the buttons become larger). The player can feel the hitting feeling of the base.

(Epilogue (1))
The epilogue performed in the normal state will be explained using FIG. 11-44. FIG. 11-44 is a detailed view of (A-15) to (A-17) in FIG. 11-16. (DA-1) is the moment when the enemy character is defeated. After that, as in (DA-2), the screen blacks out and the character falls, and at the moment the character falls to the center of the screen, the rainbow background 112SKY019 appears as in (DA-3), and the character gradually rises to the upper part of the screen and is displayed like scenes (DA-4) and (DA-5) in which the enemy character is defeated from the rainbow background, and a faint decoration pattern is displayed. After that, the decoration pattern is displayed together with the effect 112SKY020 that emphasizes the pattern. From there, the white out gradually occurs, and after the white background is 112SKY047, it returns to the normal background as shown in (DA-8).

(Epilogue (2))
The epilogue that takes place in the probability-changing state will be explained using FIG. 11-45. Figure 11-45 is a detailed view of Figure 11-22. (DB-1) is a diagram showing that all the characters are lit up in the consecutive hitting challenge effect and a big hit is achieved. After that, the screen blacks out and becomes a black background 112SKY012. From there, lines of light flow from the upper left to the lower right of the screen like (DB-2) to (DB-4), dividing the screen. Then, as shown in (DB-5), the black background portion is reduced so that the light line portion of the screen is opened, and (DB-6) the round screen hidden by the black background is displayed.

(Epilogue (3))
The epilogue, which is performed suddenly with a high base presentation, will be explained using FIG. 11-46. Figure 11-46 is a detailed view of Figure 11-26. (DC-1) is a diagram showing that all the characters are lit up and a big hit is achieved in the repeated hitting challenge effect performed suddenly during the high base effect. After that, (DC-2) and (DC-3) are the same as the epilogue flow in the normal state. After that, as in (DC-4) to (DC-6), the character moves up to the top of the screen, but the background remains the rainbow background, and the rainbow background is still faintly decorated. Is displayed. After that, the decoration pattern is displayed together with the effect 112SKY020 that emphasizes the pattern.

(epilogue length)
In FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, the length of the epilogue in the normal state, variable probability state, and sudden high-base effect are shown using FIGS. 11-44 to 11-46. The standard Epilogue is 15 seconds long. The length of the epilogue in the probability variation state is 5 seconds, but after that, the pattern is fixed for 1 second and the fanfare is performed, and the round starts. The length of the epilogue with a sudden high base production is 10 seconds.

(Epilogue Effects and Intentions)
The epilogue in the normal state is designed to be the longest epilogue in order to make the player feel a sense of blessing. In the epilogue of the probability change state, the epilogue time is set to the shortest because we want the player to feel that the game will hit quickly and the game will be played quickly. The sudden high-base production epilogue is in a normal state, but it looks like it's in a high-base state, so we wanted to incorporate elements of high-base while giving a feeling of celebration, so it's 10 seconds. In addition, the epilogue with sudden high base production has the same movement as the epilogue character movement in the normal state, and uses a different background (rainbow background). By doing so, it is possible to perform an epilogue that creates a special feeling while giving the usual feeling of blessing. Furthermore, by highlighting the symbol, it is possible to emphasize that a big win has been achieved. Also, the epilogue of sudden high-base production may be the same epilogue as the normal state. By doing so, it is possible to make the player strongly feel the blessing in the normal state.

(Details of upper high base effect and lower high base effect)
From FIG. 11-49 onwards, an example in which there is a higher state than the variable probability state will be described. As a premise, there are three control states described after FIG. 11-49, time saving state (time saving control 110 times), lower high base state (also called probability variable state) (probability variable control 110 times), upper high base state (time saving control 10000 times). The degree of expectation to be controlled to a big hit during the period controlled to each state is time saving state<lower high base state<upper high base state.

(Details of upper high base production and lower high base production (1))
FIG. 11-49 shows the details of the effect depending on whether the high-base effect suddenly develops into a high-base state or a variable probability state (also referred to as a low-base high-base). First of all, (A) is a diagram showing whether or not a false effect that returns to the normal state without developing into an SP reach effect is performed when a high base effect is suddenly performed. This indicates that there is a possibility that a fake effect will not be performed when entering the background of the lower high base, and that a fake effect may be performed when entering the background of the lower high base. Next, (B) shows the degree of expectation of a big hit depending on which background you rush into with a sudden high base effect and the rate of being controlled to a probability variable state. If you rush into the background of the top high base, there is a 50% chance of hitting the jackpot, about 80% of the percentage controlled to the variable state, about 19% of the percentage controlled to the normal state, and controlled to the top high base state about 1%. If you rush into the background of the lower high base, there is 8% of the expectation of the jackpot, about 20% of the percentage controlled to the probability variable state, about 80% of the percentage controlled to the normal state, controlled to the upper high base state 0%. In addition, the background corresponding to the time saving state (time saving control 110 times) is not set as the background of the transition destination used in the sudden high base production.

(Details of upper high base production and lower high base production (2))
FIG. 11-50 shows a specific example of a table for determining an effect using random numbers for determining an effect to be performed with a sudden high base effect. Distributing false fluctuations that are suddenly performed with high base production, suddenly distributing production that is performed at the time of a big hit with high base production, suddenly distributing production that is performed at the time of failure with high base production, suddenly entering at the time of a big hit with high base production The transition destination of the high base state, and the transition destination of the high base state that rushes in when the high base performance suddenly fails are shown.

(Details of upper high base production and lower high base production (3))
FIGS. 11-51, 11-52, and 11-53 illustrate the state controlled when a big hit is suddenly made with a high-base effect. The jackpot A is a jackpot controlled to a normal state. The jackpot B is a jackpot that is controlled in a variable probability state. Jackpot C is a jackpot controlled on a high-ranking basis. Jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C have the same random number of fluctuation patterns, but the distribution of effects is different. , in the case of a jackpot A, the sudden high base effect (upper high base background) has fewer random numbers assigned to the jackpot A than the sudden high base effect (lower high base background), resulting in a jackpot B. In this case, there are more random numbers assigned to the jackpot B in the sudden high base effect (upper high base background) than in the sudden high base effect (lower high base background). Further, in the case of a big win C, only the high-base effect (upper high-base background) is suddenly performed.

(Details effects and intentions of upper high base production and lower high base production)
Sudden high base is performed with a common fluctuation pattern regardless of the top or bottom, and the background of the top and bottom is shown by the random value of the sub. By doing so, the main capacity of the gaming machine can be suppressed. In addition, if you suddenly hit a big hit with a high base effect (upper high base background), the rate of being controlled to a variable state is about 80%, which is about 4 times higher than when you suddenly hit a high base effect (lower high base background). It can be seen that it is easy to be controlled in a variable state. By doing so, the player can suddenly pay attention to the shift destination of the high-base presentation, thereby improving the amusement of the game. Also, as a modification, the state controlled by the state of the high base effect (upper, lower) may be fixed. For example, if you suddenly hit a big hit with a high base effect (upper high base background), it will be controlled to a high base state, and if you suddenly hit a high base effect (lower high base background), it will be controlled to a variable state. may By doing so, the player can suddenly pay attention to the shift destination of the high-base presentation, thereby improving the amusement of the game. Moreover, when a big hit is suddenly made with a high-base effect, it may be always controlled to the variable probability state. By doing so, it is possible to suddenly pay attention to the high-base performance. Also, in the present embodiment, the sudden high base effect (upper high base background) has been described as an example in which there is no ready-to-win end pattern, but it is also possible to have a ready-to-win end pattern. However, even in such a case, it is preferable that the Sudden high base effect (upper high base background) reduces the number of ready-to-win end patterns rather than the Sudden high base effect (lower high base background).

(Comparison of upper high base state and lower high base state)
FIG. 11-54 represents a comparison of the screens of the upper high base state and the lower high base state. In both cases, the name indicating the state, the remaining number of times in the high base state, the decorative pattern, and the right-handed display are displayed in the same place. , the display is more conspicuous in the upper high base state. In addition, the number of remaining high base states is different. The upper high base state has 10000 times, while the lower high base state has 110 times. Furthermore, the background is different, and the screen in the upper high base state has a reddish color scheme overall than in the lower high base state. The reason why the red color scheme is used is that the player recognizes that there are generally many patterns in which the red color scheme appears in the production that is controlled for a big win, so the top high base state is generally It is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize that it is higher than the lower high base by using a red color scheme.

(Comparison effect and intention of upper high base state and lower high base state)
The appearance of the decoration pattern is different between the upper high base state and the lower high base state, and the appearance of the upper high base state is more conspicuous. Specifically, the decorative pattern in the upper high base state has decorations such as stars and circles in the decorative portions other than the number portions, and the decorative patterns in the lower high base state have stars and circles in the decorative portions other than the number portions. A pattern of vertical lines is attached to the upper base state, so that the decorative pattern in the upper high base state is conspicuous. Furthermore, by doing so, it is possible to easily recognize that there is an upper high base state that is more advantageous than the lower high base state and the lower high base state, and to easily recognize that it is higher than the lower high base state. can be done. In order to make the decoration patterns stand out, the decoration patterns in the upper high base condition are made larger than the decoration patterns in the lower high base condition, and the decoration patterns in the upper high base condition are all gold, and the decoration patterns in the lower high base condition are made to be gold. It is also possible to use a method in which some of the patterns are gold and the others are red or blue.

(Suddenly the flow of fluctuation in high base production Upper / lower high base state Ver.)
Using FIG. 11-55, the flow of variation in sudden high base production will be explained. (D1) and (D2) indicate that the change is started from the customer waiting screen. In (D3), a character (112SKY009) is displayed, a line (112SKY027) for changing the stage is displayed, only the background is whited out, and a scaled-down stage is displayed next to the character. In the reduced display, the display of the variable probability state and the stage higher than the variable probability state are displayed, and the background of the time saving state is not displayed. A stage in which the character is reduced is selected, the stage (112SKY017) to which the character transitions is enlarged and displayed as in (D5), and the stage (112SKY027) to which the character does not transition is further reduced and displayed. In addition, a highlight (112SKY028) is displayed on the enlarged display of the transition stage. After that, the transition stage is enlarged and displayed on the entire screen as shown in (D6). At (D7), a pre-reading notice (112SKY007) is made, suggesting that something may happen to the player. At (D8), the design is temporarily stopped, and at (D10), a pre-reading notice (112SKY007) that is the same type as the pre-reading notice given earlier in FIG. The pattern is temporarily stopped. During the variation, the SP reach "Consecutive hit challenge reach" is performed as shown in (D11) and (D12), and the determination of the big hit is displayed. Details of the "Consecutive Hit Challenge Reach" will be described in FIG. 11-41. In Figure 11-56 (D11) (D12), after the "Consecutive Challenge Reach" is performed, if the effect (D13) is to notify the effect of the big hit, the screen will be displayed as shown in Figure 11-57 (D15). A blackout (112SKY012) occurs, and the character (112SKY018) falls vigorously to the center of the screen, and the entire screen becomes a rainbow background (112SKY019) as in (D16), making it easy for the player to understand that he or she has won a big hit. there is After that, at (D17), after the accessory returns to its original position (upper part of the screen), a decorative pattern is displayed from the center of the screen to notify that a big hit has been achieved. At this time, the decoration pattern is highlighted (112SKY020), and it is possible to emphasize that the player has won a big hit. In Fig. 11-56 (D11) (D12), after the "continuous hit challenge reach" is performed, if the effect (D14) to notify the fact that it is lost, the stage change effect is performed as shown in (D18). Our (D14) screen is displayed in a reduced size, and an arrow that makes it easy to understand the transition destination is displayed from the reduced display, and the arrow extends to the transition destination stage, and as in (D19), transition by stage change The stage to be played, the character display corresponding to the stage, and the telop of the stage name are displayed. After being displayed, the stage to be shifted by the stage change is magnified on the screen, and the normal state is returned to while the decoration pattern is still displayed as shown in (D20). In FIG. 11-58, the stage may be designed to return to the same stage although it is different from the stage before the transition to the high-base presentation. After that, as in (D21), the change of the normal state is started. Although not shown in the diagrams of the upper high base state and the lower high base state, there is sudden fluctuation of high base reach as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the effect of returning to the background of the normal state is performed without performing the SP reach that is performed in the lower high base state (see FIG. 11-36). The false change is performed only in the sudden high-base effect of the lower high-base background, and not in the sudden high-base effect of the upper high-base background.

(Suddenly the flow of fluctuation in high base production Upper / lower high base state Ver. Effect and intention)
The flow of fluctuations in the suddenly high base effect is effected with movements similar to those shown in FIGS. 11-24 to 11-27. 11-33 is used to suddenly perform a high-base effect, and by showing a plurality of backgrounds to the player and suddenly performing a high-base effect, it is possible to perform a favorable effect for the player. . Furthermore, the stage that is reduced next to the character at the stage change is the background of the upper high base state and the background of the lower high base state, and the background of the time saving state is not displayed. By doing so, it is possible to provide a more favorable effect to the player than to show the background of the time-saving state.

(Pattern feed speed in upper high base state and lower high base state)
Referring to FIG. 11-59, the symbol feeding speed in the upper high base state and the lower high base state will be explained. As shown in the figure, the pattern feeding speed in the upper high base state can be changed 3 times in 3 seconds, and it can be seen that it is a super high speed change that changes once in 1 second. As shown in the figure, the pattern feed speed in the lower high base state can be changed twice in 3 seconds, and it can be seen that it is a high speed change that changes once in 1.5 seconds.

(The effect and intention of the pattern feed speed in the upper high base state and the lower high base state)
The speed of symbol feeding in the upper high base state and the lower high base state is faster in the upper high base state than in the lower high base state. By doing so, the difference between the upper high base state and the lower high base state can be easily understood. In addition, the speed of the pattern feed is inherited even in the sudden high base effect, and the speed of the pattern feed is the same in the sudden high base effect and the pseudo fluctuation. By doing so, it is possible to make the player feel the hitting feeling of the high base state.

(Stage change (5) modification)
A modified example of the stage change that is performed when suddenly transitioning to the high-base effect that is performed in the normal state will be described with reference to FIG. 11-60. (AE-1) and (AE-2) indicate that the change has started from the customer waiting screen. In (AE-3), the character is displayed, the lines that change the stage are displayed, only the background is whited out, and a scaled-down stage is displayed next to and in front of the character. In the reduced display, a display of the variable probability state, a stage higher than the variable probability state, and a stage lower than the variable probability state are displayed. A stage with reduced characters is selected, the stage (112SKY017) to which the character transitions is displayed in an enlarged manner as in (AE-5), and the stage (112SKY027) in which the character does not transition is further reduced and displayed. In addition, a highlight (112SKY028) is displayed on the enlarged display of the transition stage. After that, the transition stage is enlarged and displayed on the entire screen as shown in (AE-6).

(Stage change (5) Modification effect and intention)
The stage change (5) is different from the stage change (1) that is usually performed, and is performed only with a sudden high-base performance, giving a special feeling and improving the game interest. Furthermore, the scaled-down display shows a variable probability state and a higher stage than the variable probability state, and the amusement of the game is improved by having different kinds of shift destinations of the high-base performance. Furthermore, the stage is determined internally and the player does not know which stage will be selected, thereby enhancing the interest in the game. Furthermore, by highlighting the enlarged display of the transition stage, it becomes easier for the player to understand that the highlighted stage has been selected. Also, a scaled-down stage is displayed next to the character, and the player may be allowed to select the stage. By allowing the player to select and decide, the width of the game is widened and the interest in the game is improved. Furthermore, stages lower than the variable probability state are prepared, and by displaying a plurality of stages, the width of the game is expanded and the interest in the game is improved.
