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

3-1. Special game Pachinko game machine PY1 acquires the right to receive a jackpot judgment when a game ball enters the first starting hole 11 or a game ball enters the second starting hole 12, and the acquired right Make a jackpot judgment based on. Then, the pachinko game machine PY1 variably displays a special figure according to the result of the big hit determination. The mode of variable display of special figures (also referred to as "variable display time") varies depending on the type of variation pattern described later.

The right to receive the jackpot determination is, for example, a random number value, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the jackpot determination based on the obtained random number value. The jackpot determination is for determining whether or not to perform a jackpot game. When a jackpot game is performed, the jackpot is won, and when a small hit game is performed, a small hit is won. If you don't do either, you lose.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of the first special figure when the jackpot determination is performed by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11.例文帳に追加The variable display of the first special figure is, for example, a display in which the two LEDs in the upper left part of the indicators 8 blink. Pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display time corresponding to the type of variation pattern elapses, performs the stop display of the first special figure in a mode showing the result of the big hit determination. As the mode of the stop display of the first special figure, a mode indicating jackpot winning (for example, two LEDs in the upper left part are lit) and a mode indicating small win winning (for example, only one LED in the upper left part is lit) , and a mode indicating a failure (for example, only the other LED at the upper left is lit).

On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of the second special figure when the jackpot determination is performed by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加The variable display of the second special figure is, for example, a display in which the two lower left LEDs of the indicators 8 blink. The pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display time corresponding to the type of variation pattern elapses, performs the stop display of the second special figure in a mode showing the result of the big hit determination. As a mode of stop display of the second special figure, a mode indicating jackpot winning (for example, two LEDs at the lower left are lit) and a mode indicating small hit winning (for example, only one LED at the lower left is lit) , and a mode indicating a failure (for example, only the other LED at the lower left is lit).

In addition, when the game ball wins the first start opening 11 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs prefetching determination to be described later, and reserves the special figure 1 right to receive the acquired jackpot determination. remember as On the other hand, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs prefetching determination and stores the right to receive the acquired jackpot determination as a special figure 2 reservation. do. Pachinko game machine PY1 can store special figure 1 suspension and special figure 2 suspension up to a predetermined number (for example, 4 special figure 1 suspensions and 4 special figure 2 suspensions). The pachinko game machine PY1 performs jackpot determination for the special figure 1 suspension and the special figure 2 suspension after the special figure is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation are stored at the same time, the jackpot judgment for the special figure 2 reservation may be preferentially performed, and the big hit judgment for the special figure 1 reservation It may be performed preferentially, or the jackpot determination may be performed in the order in which it is stored.

The look-ahead determination is to determine in advance whether or not a jackpot game will be performed (whether or not a jackpot will be won in the jackpot determination) before the jackpot determination is performed, and when the jackpot game is performed Pre-reading winning is determined, and pre-reading non-winning is determined when no big winning game is played. In addition, when it is possible to determine a plurality of types of variation patterns, it is possible to perform variation pattern pre-determination in which the variation pattern to be determined is determined in advance in the pre-reading determination.

The pachinko game machine PY1 informs the player of the number when the special figure 1 reserve or the special figure 2 reserve is stored. The number of special figures 1 reserved, for example, is notified by lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the upper middle part of the display 8, and when the number of special figures 1 reserved is "1", only one LED lights up, special figures When the number of 1 reservations is "2", only two LEDs light up, when the number of special 1 reservations is "3", only one LED blinks, When the number of special 1 reservations is "4", Only two LEDs flash. On the other hand, the number of special figures 2 reserved is notified by, for example, lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the middle and lower part of the display 8, and when the number of special figure 2 reservations is "1", only one LED lights up, When the special figure 2 reservation number is "2", only two LEDs light up, when the special figure 2 reservation number is "3", only one LED flashes, and the special figure 2 reservation number is "4" Sometimes only two LEDs flash.

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

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

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

The hit determination is for determining whether or not to perform the auxiliary game, and if the auxiliary game is performed, it is hit and won, and if the auxiliary game is not performed, it is lost.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of a normal figure when a winning judgment is made by winning a game ball to the gate 13.例文帳に追加The normal variable display is a display in which a plurality of LEDs in the upper right portion of the display devices 8 blink. The pachinko game machine PY1, when a predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable display of the normal pattern, performs stop display of the normal pattern in a mode showing the result of the hit determination. As a mode of the stop display of the normal figure, there are a mode indicating winning (for example, all LEDs are lit) and a mode indicating losing (eg, only one LED is lit).

In addition, when the game ball wins the gate 13 during the variable display of the normal pattern, the pachinko game machine PY1 stores the acquired right to receive the hit determination as a normal pattern reservation. The pachinko game machine PY1 can store up to a predetermined number (for example, 2) of normal pattern suspensions. The pachinko game machine PY1 performs hit determination for the normal pattern hold after the normal pattern is stopped.

The pachinko game machine PY1 informs the player of the number when the normal pattern hold is stored. The number of normal figure reservations is notified by the lighting of multiple LEDs in the lower right part of the display device 8. For example, when the number of normal figure reservations is "1", only one LED lights up, and the number of normal figure reservations is " 2", only two LEDs are illuminated.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs an auxiliary game after stop-displaying a normal figure in a mode indicating winning. The auxiliary game, which will be described later in detail, is a game in which the second starting port 12 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 3.5 seconds). In the auxiliary game, the opening of the second start port 12 gives an opportunity to win a game ball to the second start port 12 (opportunity to win a prize ball, an opportunity to acquire the right to receive a jackpot determination). It is a game that is advantageous for people.

4. Game State Next, the game state of the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(A). FIG. 3A is a diagram showing game states that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can take. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, as shown in FIG. Base gaming state” (also called “time-saving gaming state”), “high-probability low-base gaming state” (also called “latent-probability gaming state”), and “high-probability high-base gaming state” (also called “probability variable gaming state” It is possible to make it possible to take any one or a plurality of game states among the four types of game states.

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

The "low-probability high-base game state" is a game state that can be taken after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined time-saving end condition is satisfied. The predetermined time-saving end conditions include that a jackpot game is performed, and that the number of times of variable display of special symbols reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 200 times).

In addition, the "low-probability high-base game state" may also occur when a specific loss occurs in the jackpot determination in the "low-probability low-base game state". The specific loss includes a specific number of times (for example, 900 times) when all the jackpot judgments are lost, and a specific ratio (for example, 1/200) of the losses in the jackpot judgment. ) is included. The pachinko game machine PY1 is set to a "low-probability high-base game state" after the end of the variable display of the special figure that has caused a specific loss (after the special figure is stopped and displayed). The "low-probability high-base game state" in this case also continues until a predetermined time-saving end condition is established, similarly to the case where the "low-probability high-base game state" is entered after the jackpot game state.

The "high-probability low-base game state" is a game state that can occur after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined latent probability end condition is established. The predetermined latent probability end conditions include that a jackpot game is performed and that the number of variable displays of special symbols reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 200 times). It should be noted that the "high probability low base game state" may be entered by passing the game ball through a specific area provided inside the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 during the jackpot game. good.

"High probability high base game state" is a game state that can be taken after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined variable probability end condition is satisfied. The predetermined variable probability end conditions include that a jackpot game is performed, and that the number of times of variable display of special symbols reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). It should be noted that even if the game ball passes through a specific area provided inside the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 during the jackpot game, the "high probability high base game state" is entered. good.

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

In addition, the "low-probability low-base game state" and "high-probability low-base game state" are states in which the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the second start port 12 It belongs to a non-time-saving state such as a difficult state or a state in which the opening time of the second start port 12 is relatively short), and the “low probability high base game state” and “high probability high base game state” are in the second start port 12. It belongs to a time-saving state in which a game ball is likely to win (for example, a state in which winning is likely to be won in a hit determination, or a state in which the opening time of the second start port 12 is relatively long). Therefore, regarding the second starting port 12 (regarding the ease of winning the game ball to the second starting port 12), the "low probability high base gaming state" and the "high probability high base gaming state" are the same as the "low probability low base It can be said that the game state is more advantageous to the player than the "game state" and the "high probability low base game state".

In addition, since the non-time saving state is a state where the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the second start port 12, the "low probability low base game state" and "high probability low base game state" are the second start port While it can be said that it is a gaming state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the first start port 11 than 12, the time saving state is a state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start port 12. state” and “high probability high base game state” can be said to be game states in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start port 12 than the first start port 11.

Moreover, the pachinko machine PY1 can change the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state and the high probability state by operating a setting change switch (not shown) provided on the back surface of the front door 23 . The setting change switch is, for example, a DIP switch that can be switched between three stages: upper stage, middle stage, and lower stage. The setting change switch on the upper stage is called "setting 1", the setting change switch on the middle stage is called "setting 2", and the setting change switch on the lower stage is called "setting 3". "Setting 1" means that the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is the first probability (eg 1/300) and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is the second probability (eg 1/30). In addition, "setting 2" is a third probability (for example, 1/280) that the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is higher than the first probability, and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is higher than the second probability. A high fourth probability (eg 1/28). In addition, "setting 3" is a fifth probability (for example, 1/260) that the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is higher than the third probability, and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is higher than the fourth probability. A high sixth probability (eg 1/26). It should be noted that the probability of winning the jackpot can be appropriately changed within the range of "setting 1"<"setting 2"<"setting 3".

5. Jackpot Game Next, the jackpot game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3(B) and 4(A). Pachinko game machine PY1, as shown in FIG. 3B, any one of the four types of jackpot games of "jackpot game Wα", "jackpot game Xα", "jackpot game Yα" and "jackpot game Zα" It is possible to play one type or multiple types of jackpot games.

The "jackpot game Wα" is a jackpot game in which the "high-probability, high-base game state" is entered thereafter, and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Wα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

The "jackpot game Xα" is a jackpot game that subsequently becomes a "low-probability high-base game state", and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Xα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

The "jackpot game Yα" is a jackpot game in which the "high-probability low-base game state" is entered thereafter, and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Yα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

The "jackpot game Zα" is a jackpot game in which the "low-probability low-base game state" is entered thereafter, and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Zα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

In the "jackpot game Wα", "jackpot game Xα", "jackpot game Yα" and "jackpot game Zα", only the first big winning port 14 may be opened for all round games. However, only the second big prize winning port 15 may be opened for all round games, or the first big prize winning port 14 may be opened for some round games and the rest of the round games may be opened. , the second big winning opening 15 may be opened. Opportunities for winning game balls (opportunities for prize balls) are provided in both the round game in which the first big winning hole 14 is opened and the round game in which the second big winning hole 15 is opened. Therefore, it is an advantageous game for the player.

"Jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Yα" belong to the so-called probability variable jackpot game in which the game state becomes a high probability state, and "jackpot game Xα" and "jackpot game Zα" belong to the so-called game state in which the game state becomes a normal probability state. It usually belongs to jackpot games. Therefore, "jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Yα" can be said to be jackpot games that are more advantageous to the player than "jackpot game Xα" and "jackpot game Zα" in terms of subsequent jackpot winning probability. Wα' and 'jackpot game Yα' are performed in the jackpot game state, which is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which either ``jackpot game Xα'' and ``jackpot game Zα'' are performed. I can say.

In addition, "jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Xα" belong to a so-called jackpot game with an electric sapo in which the game state is in a time-saving state, and "jackpot game Yα" and "jackpot game Zα" are in a non-time-saving state. It belongs to the so-called electric sapo no jackpot game. Therefore, "jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Xα" relate to the second start port 12 after that (regarding the ease of winning the game ball to the second start port 12), "jackpot game Yα" and " It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game Zα, and the jackpot game state in which either the jackpot game Wα or the jackpot game Xα can be said to be a game state more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which any one of the above is performed.

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

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

6. Small Winning Game Next, the small winning game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3(B) and 4(B). As shown in FIG. 3B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is capable of playing a small winning game as a game different from the big winning game. Unlike the big winning game, the small winning game is a game in which the game state is not changed after that. For example, when a small winning game is performed in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "low probability low base gaming state" continues even after the small winning game. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens one of the first big winning hole 14 and the second big winning hole 15 in the small winning game.

FIG. 4B is a time chart showing the flow of the small winning game. Here, a small winning game in which only the first big winning hole 14 is opened is exemplified. As shown in FIG. 4(B), after the stop display of the special figure, when the small winning game starts, a pre-opening interval (also referred to as "pre-opening IT") is first set. The pre-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and when the pre-opening IT ends, the first big winning hole 14 is opened. The opening of the first big winning hole 14 continues until a predetermined time (eg 5 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (eg 10) of game balls win the first big winning hole 14 . When the opening of the first big winning hole 14 is completed, an interval after opening (also referred to as "IT after opening") is set. The post-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and one small winning game ends when the post-opening IT ends. Either one or both of the pre-opening IT and the post-opening IT may not be set. Further, in consideration of the playability of the pachinko game machine PY1, the small winning game may not be performed.

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

FIG. 4(C) is a time chart showing the flow of the auxiliary game. As shown in FIG. 4(C), when the auxiliary game starts after the stop display of the normal figure, the second starting port 12 is opened. The opening of the second starting port 12 is until a predetermined time (first open time if non-time saving state, second open time if time saving state) passes, or a predetermined number (for example, four) It continues until the game ball wins the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加When the opening of the second starting port 12 is completed, an interval after opening (also referred to as "IT after opening") is set. The post-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and one auxiliary game ends when the post-opening IT ends.

8. Effect Next, the effect performed by the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12. FIG. The pachinko game machine PY1 can set different performance modes according to the game state. The pachinko machine PY1 has various production devices (normal button 40, special button 41, image display device 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, board movable body, etc.) in each production mode. 55k, frame movable body 58k, etc.), it is possible to perform the effects shown below.

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

In the customer waiting production mode, the special figure is stopped in the "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state" and "high probability high base game state". It is a production mode that may be set when it is set (when the variable display of special figures is not performed). In the customer waiting effect mode, the player is suggested to be in a state of waiting for variable display of special symbols. The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform a customer waiting effect while the customer waiting effect mode is being set. The customer waiting effect is, as shown in FIG. 5A-1, a effect in which a customer waiting demonstration video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display section 50a. Further, the pachinko machine PY1, for example, when the normal button 40 is operated during the display of the customer waiting demonstration video G100, as shown in FIG. A setting screen G101 for performing the setting may be displayed on the display unit 50a. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 enables settings relating to the performance of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 while the setting screen G101 is being displayed. Settings related to effects include setting the volume of sound output from the speaker 52, setting the brightness of the display unit 50a (also referred to as "light amount setting"), setting the frequency of effects to be executed (also referred to as "effect setting"), and the like.

The normal production mode is a production mode that may be set over one or more variable displays of special symbols in the "low-probability low-base game state" or "high-probability low-base game state". In the normal production mode, the player is suggested to be in a non-time-saving state. In the normal effect mode, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays, for example, a normal background image G102 representing a mountain scenery on the display section 50a, as shown in FIG. 5B-1. The background displayed in the normal effect mode is not limited to the normal background image G102, and multiple types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or at random.

The probability variable production mode is a production mode that may be set over one or more variable displays of special symbols in the "high probability high base game state". In the variable probability performance mode, the player is suggested to be in a high probability state and a time saving state. In the variable probability effect mode, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays, for example, a variable probability background image G103 representing the universe on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 5(B-2). The background displayed in the variable probability effect mode is not limited to the variable probability background image G103, and multiple types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or at random.

The time reduction production mode is a production mode that may be set over one or more variable displays of special symbols in the "low probability high base game state". In the time-saving performance mode, the player is suggested to be in a normal probability state and a time-saving state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays, for example, a time-saving background image G104 representing the sky on the display unit 50a in the time-saving effect mode, as shown in FIG. 5(B-3). The background displayed in the time saving effect mode is not limited to the time saving background image G104, and multiple types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or at random.

The jackpot production mode is a production mode set in the jackpot gaming state. In the jackpot performance mode, the player is suggested that the jackpot game is being executed. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, in the jackpot production mode, when the jackpot game starts, as shown in FIG. The image G108 and the like are displayed on the display section 50a. The display of these images is called "opening effect".

Further, in the jackpot effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds on the display unit 50a during the round game, as shown in FIG. If the probability state is reached, a promotion image G110 suggesting that the state will be a high probability state is displayed on the display unit 50a. Note that the display of these images is referred to as "round effect".

Further, in the jackpot performance mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays an ending image G111 suggesting a performance mode set after the jackpot performance mode, as shown in FIG. The display unit 50a displays a total number of awarded balls image G112 or the like indicating the total number of awarded balls. The display of these images is called "ending effect".

In the basic embodiment, five types of production modes are set: a customer waiting production mode, a normal production mode, a variable probability production mode, a short production time production mode and a jackpot production mode. may be changed or added.

8-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, the special figure fluctuation production (also referred to as "variation production") will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG. The special figure fluctuation production is a production for suggesting the result of the jackpot determination. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko game machine PY1 executes the special figure variation performance using the performance symbols in parallel with the variable display of the special figure. As shown in FIG. 6(A), the performance design is composed of a left performance design EZ1, a middle performance design EZ2 and a right performance design EZ3.

The pachinko game machine PY1 variably displays performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 on the background (normal background image G102, probability variable background image G103, time reduction background image G104) in the special figure variation performance. It should be noted that "↓" in the figure indicates that the performance symbols are being displayed in a variable manner. The production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are, for example, composed of numerical patterns of "1" to "9", respectively. EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 fluctuate, and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 stop with the stop display of the special figure. Then, the result of the big hit determination is suggested by the mode of stop display of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

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

The pachinko game machine PY1 starts variable display of performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 in normal variation, as shown in FIG. 6(B). Then, when the pachinko game machine PY1 makes a loss without generating a reach after the normal fluctuation, as shown in FIG. After stopping, as shown in 6(D), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a manner suggesting a failure (so-called split eyes). A mode suggesting a failure is a mode in which the left and right performance symbols are not the same, such as "1, 1, 2" and "2, 4, 6". On the other hand, when the pachinko game machine PY1 generates reach after the normal fluctuation, as shown in FIG. Stop display and establish a reach. The stop order of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

8-2-2. The N-reach pachinko game machine PY1 can perform N-reach after establishment of the reach. The N-reach is, for example, a ready-to-win effect in which the fluctuation speed of the middle effect symbol EZ2 gradually decelerates, and functions as an effect to suggest that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

The pachinko game machine PY1 gradually decelerates the variation speed of the middle effect symbol EZ2 in N-reach, as shown in FIG. 7(A). Then, when the pachinko game machine PY1 loses at N reach, as shown in FIG. , EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped. A mode suggesting reach-losing is a mode in which the left and right performance symbols are the same and the middle symbols are different from the left and right performance symbols, such as "7, 6, 7" and "5, 3, 5". On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 does not stop the middle effect symbol EZ2 when developing into SP reach after N reach. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change the content of the N-reach effect.

8-2-3. SP reach The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. SP ready-to-win is, for example, a ready-to-win effect in which a battle between the main character and the enemy character is displayed, and functions as an effect to suggest that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

In the SP reach, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays an SP title image G1 representing the start of the SP reach on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 8(A). The SP title image G1 is also a character image, for example, "Destroy the enemy A!". Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a main character image G200 representing the main character and an enemy character image G201 representing the enemy character on the display unit 50a. A moving image of a battle with a character is displayed on the display section 50a. Then, when the final phase of the battle is reached, the pachinko machine PY1 causes the main character to enter the battle in a manner suggesting a big win, as shown in FIG. A state of being delighted with the victory is displayed, and performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (so-called double eyes). Further, when the pachinko machine PY1 determines that the SP reach is a loss, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a mode suggesting reach-losing. On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 does not stop the middle effect symbol EZ2 when developing into SPSP reach after this SP reach. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change the contents of the effect of the SP reach.

8-2-4. SPSP Reach Pachinko game machine PY1 is capable of performing SPSP Reach after SP Reach. The SPSP ready-to-win is, for example, a ready-to-win effect in which a battle between a main character and a formidable enemy character is displayed, and functions as an effect to suggest that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

In the SPSP reach, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays an SPSP title image G2 representing the start of the SPSP reach on the display section 50a, as shown in FIG. 9(A). The SPSP title image G2 is, for example, a text image of "Destroy enemy B!". Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9B, the pachinko machine PY1 displays a main character image G200 representing the main character and a strong enemy character image G202 representing the strong enemy character on the display unit 50a. A moving image of a battle with a character is displayed on the display section 50a. When the final phase of the battle is reached, the pachinko machine PY1 causes the main character to enter the battle in a manner suggesting a big win, as shown in FIG. A state of being delighted with the victory is displayed, and performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (so-called double eyes). On the other hand, when the pachinko machine PY1 determines that the SPSP reach is lost, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a mode suggesting reach-losing. It should be noted that the contents of the SPSP ready-to-win effect can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the possibility that the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 will stop in a mode indicating a big win (also called "big win expectation") will be explained. The degree of jackpot expectation is determined by the execution probability based on the result of jackpot determination. For example, when the execution probability of N reach is set to 10% when the result of jackpot determination is a loss, and set to 100% when the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, the execution probability of SP reach is set to 4% when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and is set to 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot winning. can be higher than

Further, for example, when the execution probability of SP reach is set to 4% when the result of jackpot determination is a loss, and set to 100% when the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, SPSP reach is performed. When the execution probability is set to 2% when the result of the judgment of the big win is a loss, and is set to 100% when the result of the judgment of the big win is the winning of the jackpot, the degree of expectation of the big win against the SP reach is set to the big win against the SP reach. Expectations can be higher. In this way, by presetting the execution probability according to the result of the big win determination for the executable effect, it is possible to determine the degree of expectation for the big win for that effect.

8-3. Suspension Icon and Icon The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the suspension icon HA on the display unit 50a while the special figure 1 suspension or the special figure 2 suspension is being stored. The pending icon HA is, for example, an icon image of "o". Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the icon TA on the display unit 50a during the variable display of the special figure. The icon TA is, for example, the same icon image of "o" as the pending icon HA.

A pending icon display area 50d is provided at the bottom of the display section 50a. As shown in FIG. 10A, the pending icon display area 50d is composed of a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3 and a fourth display area 50d4. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a pending icon HA in each display area 50d1, 50d2, 50d3, 50d4 according to the number of reserved special figures 1 or the number of reserved special figures 2. For example, when the special figure 1 reserved number is "1", the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special figure 1 reserved number is "2", the first display area 50d1 and the second 2 display area 50d2 and the pending icon HA is displayed. In the reserved icon display area 50d, both the special figure 1 reserved number and the special figure 2 reserved number may be displayed, or only one of the special figure 1 reserved number and the special figure 2 reserved number is displayed You can let it be. In addition, the number of display areas forming the pending icon display area 50d can be changed as appropriate.

Here, an operation effect using the normal button 40 is exemplified. The pachinko game machine PY1 generates a period during which the pressing operation of the normal button 40 is valid (referred to as a "button operation valid period") in the operation effect, and with the occurrence of this button operation valid period, As shown, an effect for prompting the operation of the normal button 40 (referred to as “button operation prompting effect”) is performed. In the button operation prompting effect, a button operation prompting image G3 is displayed, and the button operation prompting image G3 includes a normal button image G31 imitating the normal button 40 and a pressing operation representing the operation mode of the normal button 40 (that is, pressing operation). It is composed of an image G32 (here, a character image of "press") and an operation valid period remaining time image G33 representing the remaining time of the button operation valid period. The pachinko game machine PY1 responds to the normal button 40 being pressed during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period elapses without the normal button 40 being operated during the button operation valid period. As shown in 12(B), the button operation promotion effect is terminated, and the operation result effect is performed. FIG. 12(B) shows a case where a movable object effect in which the on-board movable object 55k moves is performed as the operation result effect. It should be noted that the content of the operation presentation can be changed as appropriate.

8-4-3. Prefetching effect The pachinko game machine PY1 is capable of executing a prefetching effect based on the prefetching determination as the advance notice effect. The look-ahead effect is, for example, an effect in which the pending icon HA changes, and functions as an effect for suggesting in advance the result of the big hit determination.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a look-ahead effect in response to storing special figure 1 suspension or special figure 2 suspension. Here, the look-ahead effect for the special figure 1 hold is exemplified. When the game ball enters the first start port 11, the pachinko game machine PY1 stores the special figure 1 reservation, based on the result of the prefetch determination for the special figure 1 reservation, as shown in FIG. 10 (C) In the pending icon display area 50d, an icon image of "*" is displayed as the pending icon HA instead of the icon image of "o" which is normally displayed. It should be noted that the contents of the prefetch effect can be changed as appropriate.

9. Internal Configuration Next, the internal configuration of the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. FIG. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a portion related to control of the pachinko game machine PY1. As shown in FIG. 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 comprises a main control unit 100 that controls games, and an effect control unit 120 that executes effects. The main control unit 100 and the production control unit 120 are electrically connected, and the production control unit 120 mainly executes production according to instructions from the main control unit 100 .

9-1. Main Control Unit The main control unit 100 includes a game control microcomputer 101 . The game control microcomputer 101 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and mainly controls various games (special game, normal game, game state, prize ball payout, etc.). The game control microcomputer 101 also includes a game input section 101a, a game output section 101b, and a game storage section 101c. The game input unit 101a is a winning device provided on the game board 1 (first starting port 11, second starting port 12, gate 13, first big winning port 14, second big winning port 15, general winning port 10, etc.) Winning information of game balls, operation information of initialization switch, operation information of setting change switch, etc. are inputted. The game output unit 101b outputs performance data and performance commands generated in accordance with game control to the performance control unit 120 and the outside of the pachinko game machine PY1. The game storage unit 101c is composed of, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and includes a table for selecting game content and game data generated according to game control (special figure 1 reserved , Special figure 2 hold, general figure hold, etc.) etc. are stored.

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

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

9-2-1. Fluctuation Pattern Judgment Table A fluctuation pattern judgment table 103a1 shown in FIG. 14 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The variation pattern determination table 103a1 is a table referred to when selecting the type of variation pattern. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of variation pattern with reference to the variation pattern determination table 103a1 when performing variable display of the first special figure or the second special figure based on the result of the big hit determination.

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

Here, the role of each variation pattern will be explained. As described above, during the variable display of the special figure, special figure variation production is performed. In the special figure fluctuation production, the production flow composed of one or more productions is executed, but each variation pattern is associated with the special figure variable display time and the production flow executed in the special figure fluctuation production. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, "THP001" and "THP011" have a special figure variable display time of 120000 ms, and "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach" → " "THP002" and "THP012" are associated with the production flow composed of "SPSP Reach", and "THP002" and "THP012" have a special figure variable display time of 100000 ms and are "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "N reach" → " "SP Reach" is associated with the production flow composed of "SP Reach", and "THP013" has a special figure variable display time of 20000 ms, and is composed of "Normal Variation" → "Reach" → "N Reach". , and "THP021" and "THP022" are associated with an effect flow that is 13000 ms or 2000 ms for the variable display of the special figure and consists only of "normal fluctuation". Thus, according to the type of variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the time of the special figure variation effect and the effect executed in the special figure variation effect are varied.

"THP001" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, and the end of the effect flow is "SPSP reach", so "THP001" is called "SPSP jackpot variation". Also, "THP002" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, and the end of the effect flow is "SP reach", so "THP002" is called "SP jackpot variation". Also, "THP011" is selected when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, and since the end of the effect flow is "SPSP reach", "THP011" is called "SPSP loss variation". Also, "THP012" is selected when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, and since the end of the effect flow is "SP reach", "THP012" is called "SP loss variation". Also, "THP013" is selected when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, and the end of the effect flow is "N reach", so "THP013" is called "N loss variation". In addition, "THP021" and "THP022" are selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and since the end of the production flow is "normal variation", "THP021" and "THP022" are called "normal loss variation". . It should be noted that the selection ratio of the variation pattern can be appropriately set in consideration of the game characteristics of the pachinko game machine PY1.

9-2-2. Prefetch Determination Table A prefetch determination table 103b1 shown in FIG. 15 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The prefetch determination table 103b1 is a table that is referred to when selecting the type of prefetch pattern. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of prefetch pattern by referring to the prefetch determination table 103b1 when the right to receive the jackpot determination is acquired. The diagram shown in FIG. 15 is the prefetch determination table 103b1.

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

Since "SHP001" is selected when the result of the prefetch determination is prefetch winning, "SHP001" is called a "jackpot prefetch pattern". In addition, "SHP002" is selected when the result of the prefetch judgment is not prefetched, and the result of the fluctuation pattern prejudgment is a fluctuation pattern with reach ("THP011" to "THP013"), so "SHP002" is selected. It is called "read-ahead pattern of reach-losing". In addition, "SHP003" is selected when the result of the prefetch judgment is not prefetched, and the result of the fluctuation pattern prejudgment is a fluctuation pattern without reach ("THP021" to "THP022"), so "SHP003" is selected. It is called "normal failing look-ahead pattern".

9-2-3. Symbol Judgment Table A symbol judgment table 103c1 shown in FIG. 16 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The symbol determination table 103c1 is a table referred to when selecting the type of stop symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The game control microcomputer 101 refers to the symbol determination table 103c1 and selects the types of stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol when the big hit determination is performed. The diagram shown in FIG. 16 is the symbol determination table 103c1.

The game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 16, selects the types of stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol based on the type of starting port, the result of big hit determination, and the like. The game control microcomputer 101 selects, as types of stop symbols, "jackpot Wα symbol", "jackpot Xα symbol", "jackpot Yα symbol", "jackpot Zα symbol", "small win symbol", "loss A symbol", " It is possible to select any one of 7 types of stop symbols of "losing B symbol". The game control microcomputer 101 performs stop display of the first special figure or the second special figure in a manner corresponding to the selected stop symbol. It should be noted that the types of stop symbols can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the role of each stop symbol will be described. As mentioned above, after the stop display of the special figure, when a big hit game is performed, when a small hit game is performed, when it becomes a time saving state, and when it becomes a loss without doing anything . There are four types of jackpot games ("jackpot game Wα", "jackpot game Xα", "jackpot game Yα", and "jackpot game Zα"), one type of small win game, and two types of loss. Each stop symbol is associated with the type of jackpot game, the type of small-hit game, and the type of loss (the above-mentioned specific loss, mere loss). For example, as shown in FIG. 16, "jackpot Wα symbol" is associated with "jackpot game Wα", "jackpot Xα symbol" is associated with "jackpot game Xα", and "jackpot Yα symbol" is associated with "jackpot game Yα”, the “jackpot Zα pattern” is associated with the “jackpot game Zα”, the “small prize pattern” is associated with the small prize game, and the “losing A pattern” is a mere loss in which nothing is done. , and the “losing B pattern” is associated with the time saving state. Thus, according to the type of stop symbol selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the type of big winning game to be executed, the type of small winning game, and the type of loss (whether or not the time saving state is set) are varied. .

Since the ``jackpot Wα pattern'' and ``jackpot Yα pattern'' are selected when a jackpot game in a high probability state is performed after that, the ``jackpot Wα pattern'' and the ``jackpot Yα pattern'' are referred to as ``variable patterns''. There is In addition, since the "jackpot Xα pattern" and the "jackpot Zα pattern" are determined when the jackpot game in the normal probability state is performed thereafter, the "jackpot Xα pattern" and the "jackpot Zα pattern" are changed to the "normal pattern". That's what it means. In addition, since the "losing A symbol" is determined in the case of a mere loss in which nothing is performed after that, the "losing A symbol" may be referred to as a "normal losing symbol". In addition, since the "losing B pattern" is determined in the case of a specific failing that becomes a time saving state after that, the "losing B pattern" may be referred to as a "losing time saving pattern". It should be noted that the selection ratio of the stop symbols can be appropriately set in consideration of the playability of the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

<First embodiment>
The first embodiment will be described below. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko game machine PY1 of the basic embodiment described above is also applied to the first embodiment.

First, using FIG. 17, the structure of the game board 1 will be specifically described. 17(A) is a front view of the game board 1, FIG. 17(B) is a sectional view of the game board 1 as seen from the right side, and FIG. 17(C) is a 4 is an exploded perspective view of the light guide plate unit dy; FIG.

The game board 1 includes a light guide plate unit dy as shown in FIG. 17(A). As shown in FIG. 17B, the light guide plate unit dy is arranged in front of the display section 50a. Further, as shown in FIG. 17C, the light guide plate unit dy has a transparent rectangular light guide plate dy1, and the light guide plate dy1 covers the entire area of the display section 50a. The light guide plate dy1 is made of a transparent member such as acrylic resin or polycarbonate resin.

Further, the light guide plate unit dy has a left LED substrate Lk and a lower LED substrate Dk on which LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate capable of emitting light of a predetermined emission color are mounted. The lower LED board Dk is electrically connected to the effect control microcomputer 121 . As shown in FIG. 17C, the left LED board Lk is arranged to the left of the light guide plate dy1 so that the LEDs (a) to (d) for the light guide plate face the left side of the light guide plate dy1. be done. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17C, the lower LED substrate Dk is arranged below the light guide plate dy1 so that the LEDs (e) to (h) for the light guide plate face the lower side of the light guide plate dy1. placed in

The effect control microcomputer 121 can control the light emission of the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate according to the progress of the game. The LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate are configured to emit light in full color.

Next, with reference to FIG. 18, a luminous image that can be displayed on the light guide plate dy1 of the light guide plate unit dy by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described. When all of the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate do not emit light, as shown in FIG. It is easy to visually recognize (here, it is easy to visually recognize how the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed). On the other hand, when some or all of the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate emit light, the light enters the interior of the light guide plate dy1, and depending on the combination of the light-emitting LEDs, the light-emitting image display of the light guide plate dy1 A large rock emission image G300a representing a large rock and a small rock emission image G300b representing a small rock appear in the region dy1R. At this time, it becomes difficult to see behind the large rock light emitting image G300a and the small rock light emitting image G300b.

As shown in FIG. 18B-1, the large rock emission image G300a represents a rock having a size that covers most of the display unit 50a, and for example, LEDs (a), (c), and (f) for the light guide plate. When (h) emits light, it emerges. Also, as shown in FIG. 18B-2, the small rock emission image G300b represents a rock having a size that covers the corner of the display unit 50a. e) (g) is made to emerge when it emits light.

In this way, the effect control microcomputer 121 can display the luminescence image in the luminescence image display area dy1R in a predetermined luminescence color at any timing. In the first embodiment, only the large rock emission image G300a and the small rock emission image G300b are displayed as the emission images, but other emission images may be displayed.

Next, the configuration of the image display device 50 will be described with reference to FIG. The display unit 50a of the image display device 50 can display not only 2D images but also 3D images.

FIG. 19A is a top view of the image display device 50. FIG. As shown in FIG. 19A, the display unit 50a includes a display panel 50a1 capable of displaying a 3D image that can be stereoscopically viewed by the player, and a backlight that emits planar light from behind the display panel 50a1 forward. The image display device 50 is provided with a light 50a2 and a barrier panel 50a3 provided on the front side of the display panel 50a1 with a predetermined gap from the display panel 50a1. .

The effect control microcomputer 121 is capable of displaying a 3D image composed of a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL that are displayed in a vertically elongated rectangular shape on the display panel 50a1, and displays a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL on the barrier panel 50a3. A vertically striped black band that prevents the left eye of the player from viewing the image GR for the eye and prevents the player from viewing the left eye of the image GL from the right eye of the player. It is possible to display the barrier image GB with a transparent portion that allows the right eye to see and the left eye image GL to be seen by the player's left eye.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL are alternately displayed as a 3D image, and a black band portion and a transparent portion are alternately displayed as a barrier image GB. Then, for the player's right eye, the left-eye image GL is hidden by the black belt portion, but the right-eye image GR is not hidden by the transparent portion, so that only the right-eye image GR is visible. On the other hand, as for the player's left eye, the right-eye image GR is hidden by the black belt portion, but the left-eye image GL is not hidden by the transparent portion, so only the left-eye image GL is visible. In this way, the depth is sensed by utilizing the binocular parallax in the line-of-sight direction of the image seen by the player's right eye and left eye, so that the player can view the 3D image stereoscopically with the naked eye. It has become.

Here, layers on which 2D images and 3D images are displayed on the display panel 50a1 will be described with reference to FIG. 19B. As shown in FIG. 19B, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays different images in each of a plurality of layers including the first to fourth layers, thereby superimposing the images on the display panel 50a1. It is possible to display

The first layer is the lowest layer, and is a layer on which a 2D image such as the background image G102 is normally displayed. The second layer is a layer higher than the first layer, and is a layer on which 2D images such as the main character 2D image G2000 are displayed. Also, the third layer is a layer higher than the second layer, and is a layer in which 2D images such as production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed. The fourth layer is a layer higher than the third layer, and is a layer in which a 3D image such as a main character 3D image G2001, which will be described later, is displayed.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 26, according to the variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the special figure variation performance that can be executed by the performance control microcomputer 121 will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute the following productions in the special figure fluctuation production.

A. Normal Fluctuation "Normal Fluctuation" is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of the variable display of special symbols, and is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed. "Normal fluctuation" is performed first in the special figure fluctuation production, so it functions as a production that suggests that the special figure fluctuation production has been started.

B. Reach "Reach" is an effect that may be performed after "Normal variation", and is an effect in which the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stop-displayed with the same type of effect pattern. "Reach" may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", so it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played. In addition, since "reach" may develop into reach performances such as "N reach", "SP reach", "SPSP reach" after that, as a performance suggesting that reach performance may be performed also works.

C. N-reach "N-reach" is an effect that may be performed after "reach" is established, and is a ready-to-win effect in which the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually slows down. Since "N reach" may be performed when the result of jackpot determination is "jackpot win", it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played.

D. SP Reach "SP Reach" is an effect sometimes performed after "N Reach", and is a reach effect in which the main character and the enemy character battle. "SP Reach" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot judgment is "winning" than when the result is "losing", so a production that suggests that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be performed. function as In addition, since jackpot games are more likely to be played when "N reach" develops into "SP reach" than when "N reach" does not develop into "SP reach", "SP reach" is , and "N reach", it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a higher possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

E. SPSP Reach "SPSP Reach" is an effect sometimes performed after "SP Reach", and is a reach effect in which a main character and a strong enemy character battle. ``SPSP Reach'' is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is ``winning the jackpot'' than when the result is ``losing'', so the production suggests that the possibility of the jackpot game being played is high. function as In addition, since the jackpot game is more likely to be played when “SP reach” develops into “SPSP reach” than when “SP reach” does not develop into “SPSP reach”, “SPSP reach” is , "SP Reach" also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a higher possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

F. Development Notice "Development Notice" is an effect that may be performed in "N Reach", in which a large rock light emitting image G300a and a small rock light emitting image G300b, a main character 2D image G2000 and a main character 3D image G2001 are displayed. It is a preview performance. ``Development notice'' is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is ``winning the jackpot'' than when the result is ``losing'', so a production that suggests that the possibility of a jackpot game being played is high. function as In addition, since the "prediction of development" may develop into "SP reach" after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility of developing into "SP reach".

F-1. Approach Notice “Enlargement Notice” is a type of “development notice”, and is an effect in which the main character approaches the player.

F-2. Retreat Notice The “retreat notice” is a type of “development notice”, and is an effect in which the main character moves away from the player.

F-3. Retreat/Approach Notice The “retreat/approach notice” is a type of “development notice”, and is an effect in which the main character once moves away from the player and then approaches the player.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the production flow of the main special figure fluctuation production will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the effect flow, and uses the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, and the light guide plate unit dy according to the display of the effect image. A light emission effect and a sound effect using the speaker 52 can be executed.

As shown in FIG. 20(A), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns "SPSP big hit variation" and "SPSP loss variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach" → An effect flow composed of "SPSP Reach" is executed. In addition, "development notice" may be performed in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of these fluctuation patterns.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 20(B), in the special figure variation effect with the variation pattern "SP big hit variation" and "SP loss variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach ” is executed. In addition, "development notice" may be performed in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of these fluctuation patterns.

Also, as shown in FIG. 20(C), in the special figure variation performance with the variation pattern of "N loss variation", the performance flow composed of "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" is executed. . In addition, "development notice" may be performed in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of this fluctuation pattern.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 20(D), in the special figure variation effect with the variation pattern of "normal loss A variation" and "normal loss B variation", the effect flow composed only of "normal variation" is executed. be.

Next, the main effects executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be specifically described. It should be noted that, in the special figure variation effect described below, the display of the pending icon HA is also performed in parallel, but the illustration of the pending icon HA may be omitted.

First, the “development notice” will be specifically explained. The production control microcomputer 121 executes "development notice" in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of which the fluctuation patterns are "SPSP big hit fluctuation", "SP big hit fluctuation", "SPSP loss fluctuation", and "SP loss fluctuation". It is possible.

As shown in FIG. 21, the effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121 stores an advance notice selection table 123a1. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the "development notice" and the type of the "development notice" using the advance notice selection table 123a1. There are three types of "development notice": "approach notice", "retreat notice", and "retreat/approach notice".

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing the contents of the advance notice selection table 123a1. The production control microcomputer 121 refers to the type of variation pattern to determine whether or not to execute the "development notice", and if the "development notice" is executed, the "approach notice", "retreat notice" and "retreat/approach Select which one of "Notice" is to be executed.

Specifically, when the fluctuation pattern is "SPSP jackpot fluctuation" (THP001) and "SP jackpot fluctuation" (THP002), the execution of "approach notice" is 40%, the execution of "evacuation notice" is 30%, and the " The non-execution of "development notice" is selected at a rate of 30%, and the execution of "retreat/approach notice" is not selected.

In addition, when the fluctuation pattern is "SPSP loss fluctuation" (THP011), the execution of "approach notice" is 20%, the execution of "evacuation notice" is 10%, and the non-execution of "development notice" is 70%. Selected and execution of "retreat/approach notice" is not selected.

Also, when the variation pattern is "SP loss variation" (THP012), the execution of "approach notice" is 10%, the execution of "evacuation notice" is 10%, and the non-execution of "development notice" is 80%. Selected and execution of "retreat/approach notice" is not selected.

In addition, when the variation pattern is "N loss variation" (THP013), the execution of "retreat/approach notice" is selected at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of "development notice" is selected at a rate of 80%. Execution and execution of "evacuation notice" are not selected.

In other words, it is set so that the execution of "development notice" is more likely to be selected when it is judged as "jackpot winning" than when it is judged as "losing" in the jackpot judgment, and "development notice" functions as a production with a high degree of expectation for a big hit. In addition, when the fluctuation pattern is ``SPSP big hit fluctuation'', ``SPSP losing fluctuation'', the ``development notice'' is ``closer'' than the case of ``SP big hit fluctuation'', ``SP losing fluctuation'', and ``N losing fluctuation''. It is set to make it easier to select the execution of "notice", suggesting that "notice of approach" is more likely to develop into "SPSP reach" than "evacuation notice" and "evacuation/approach notice". It also works as a performance. Also, only when the variation pattern is "N Loss Variation", it is set so that "evacuation / approach notice" is selected as "development notice", and "evacuation / approach notice" is "SP reach" and It functions as an effect (a so-called false effect) that suggests that neither of the "SPSP reach" will develop. It should be noted that the selection ratio indicated by the advance notice selection table 123a1 shown in FIG. 21 can be changed as appropriate.

When the performance control microcomputer 121 executes the "development notice", it executes the "development notice" of the type selected by the development notice selection table 123a1 in the "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production.

The effect control microcomputer 121 can control the light emission of the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate according to the progress of the game. The LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate are configured to emit light in full color.

Next, with reference to FIG. 28, a luminous image that can be displayed on the light guide plate dy1X of the light guide plate unit dyX by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described. When all of the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate do not emit light, as shown in FIG. It is easily visually recognized (here, the pending icon display area 50d is easily visually recognized). On the other hand, when some or all of the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate emit light, light enters the interior of the light guide plate dy1X, and depending on the combination of the LEDs that emit light, the light guide plate dy1X emits an image display. Star emission images G500a and G500b representing a plurality of stars emerge in the region dy1RX.

The star emission image G500a, as shown in FIG. 28(B-1), represents three stars covering the central portion of the display section 50a. h) is made to emerge when it emits light. Further, as shown in FIG. 28B-2, the star emission image G500b represents three stars covering the lower left portion of the display section 50a, and for example, LEDs (b), (d), and (e) for the light guide plate. ) and (g) illuminate.

In this way, the effect control microcomputer 121 can display the luminescent image in the luminescent image display area dy1RX in a predetermined luminescent color at any timing.

In the second embodiment, only the star emission images G500a and G500d are displayed as the emission images, but other emission images may be displayed. Further, although the size of the star emission image G500a is made larger than the size of the star emission image G500b, the size of the star emission image G500a may be made smaller than the size of the star emission image G500b. good.

Next, referring to FIGS. 29 to 36, a look-ahead effect that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 according to the look-ahead pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute the following look-ahead production in parallel with the special figure fluctuation production in the non-time saving state.

G. Suspension change notice “Suspension change notice” is an effect that may be performed in response to the game ball winning the first start hole, and is a look-ahead effect in which the display mode of the hold icon HA changes. The ``suspension change notice'' is more likely to be performed when the result of the look-ahead big win determination is ``pre-read winning'' than when the result is ``pre-reading non-winning'', so there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played. It functions as a production that suggests.

H. Suspended Change Inciting Notice “Suspended change inciting notice” is an effect that may be performed when the special figure 1 hold is stored, and is an advance notice effect in which the star light emitting image G500b is displayed. Since the ``pending change incitement notice'' may be performed when the look-ahead determination result is ``pre-reading winning'', it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played. In addition, since the ``prediction of pending change'' may be performed when the display mode of the pending icon HA changes in the ``prediction of pending change'', it suggests that the display mode of the pending icon HA may change. It also functions as a production to do.

Next, the main look-ahead effects will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 displays a production image on the display unit 50a in each production, and according to the display of the production image, a light emission production using the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, and the light guide plate unit dyX, and a speaker. 52 can be executed. In the look-ahead effect described below, the display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 is also performed in parallel, but the illustration of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 may be omitted.

First, the “pending change notice” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute "suspension change notice" with respect to the pending icons HA whose look-ahead patterns are "big win look-ahead pattern" and "ready-to-lose look-ahead pattern".

As shown in FIG. 29, the effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121 stores a pending change notice selection table 123a2. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the "holding change notice" and the type of change pattern when executing the "holding change notice" using the hold change notice selection table 123a2. There are three types of change patterns: change pattern A to change pattern C. FIG. Change pattern A is a change pattern in which the display color of the pending icon HA does not change, change pattern B is a change pattern in which the display color of the hold icon HA changes to blue, and change pattern C is a change pattern in which the display color of the hold icon HA is changed. This is a change pattern in which the color changes to red.

FIG. 30A is a diagram showing the contents of the pending change notice selection table 123a2. The effect control microcomputer 121 refers to the type of the look-ahead pattern, and selects whether or not to execute the "suspension change notice" and the type of change pattern when the "suspension change notice" is executed.

Specifically, when the look-ahead pattern is the "jackpot look-ahead pattern" (SHP001), the execution of the change pattern A "hold change notice" is 10%, and the change pattern B "hold change notice" is executed 15%. , the execution of the "suspended change notice" of the change pattern C is selected at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the "suspended change notice" is selected at a rate of 55%.

In addition, when the look-ahead pattern is the "read-ahead pattern that does not reach reach" (SHP002), the execution of the change pattern A "hold change notice" is 15%, the change pattern B "hold change notice" is executed 10%, and the change pattern Execution of C "prediction of pending change" is selected at a rate of 5%, and non-execution of "prediction of pending change" is selected at a rate of 70%.

In addition, when the look-ahead pattern is the "normal unsuccessful look-ahead pattern" (SHP003), the execution of the change pattern A's "pending change notice" is selected at a rate of 5% and the non-execution of the "holding change notice" is selected at a rate of 95%. , change pattern B and change pattern C are not selected.

That is, it is set so that the degree of expectation for a big win increases in the order of "holding change notice" of change pattern A<"holding change notice" of change pattern B<"holding change notice" of change pattern C. It should be noted that the selection ratio indicated by the pending change notice selection table 123a2 shown in FIG. 30(A) can be changed as appropriate.

When displaying the pending icon HA in the pending effect, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays the pending icon HA in the pending icon display area 50d based on the change pattern selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2. There are four types of pending icons HA: a round "white circle icon" and star-shaped "white star icon", "blue star icon" and "red star icon".

FIGS. 31(A) to 31(D) are diagrams showing types of pending icons HA. As shown in FIG. 31(A), the "white circle icon" consists of a round white circle icon image G400. As shown in FIG. 31(C), the "blue star icon" consists of a star-shaped blue star icon image G402. As shown in FIG. 31(D), the "red star icon" consists of 2, a star-shaped red star icon image G403.

Here, the flow of the "suspension change notice" in the suspension effect will be described. FIGS. 32(A) to 32(G) are diagrams showing how the holding effect is performed. The pending effect may be executed even if the game state is a non-time saving state or a time saving state. A case where the player wins at mouth 11 will be exemplified. In addition, in the second embodiment, when the game ball wins the first start opening 11 when the special figure 1 reservation number is "0", the "reservation change notice" is not performed.

When the special figure 1 pending number is "1" during the variable display of the special figure, as shown in FIG. , the icon TA is displayed in the icon display area 50e. In this state, when the game ball wins the first starting port 11, the special figure 1 reserved number becomes "2".

At this time, if non-execution of "hold change notice" is selected by the hold change notice selection table 123a2, as shown in FIG. A “white circle icon” (white circle icon image G400) is displayed as the icon HA, and the shape and display color of this “white circle icon” do not change even after being displayed as the icon TA in the icon display area 50e.

Further, when the execution of the change pattern A "suspension change notice" is selected by the suspension change notice selection table 123a2, as shown in FIG. , a "white star icon" (white star icon image G401) is displayed as the reserved icon HA, and the display color of this "white star icon" does not change even after it is displayed as the icon TA in the icon display area 50e.

Further, when execution of change pattern B "pending change notice" is selected by the holding change notice selection table 123a2, as shown in FIG. 32 (E ), it changes to a “blue star icon” (blue star icon image G402).

Further, when execution of change pattern C "pending change notice" is selected by the holding change notice selection table 123a2, as shown in FIG. 32 (G ), it changes to a “red star icon” (red star icon image G403).

In the second embodiment, when the pending icon HA moves to the first display area 50d1 of the pending icon display area 50d, it changes to the "blue star icon" or the "red star icon". The "blue star icon" or the "red star icon" may be displayed at the timing when it is first displayed in the second display area 50d2 to the fourth display area 50d4 of the icon display area 50d, or the pending icon HA may be displayed. At the timing when the icon TA is displayed in the icon display area 50e, the icon may be changed to the "blue star icon" or "red star icon".

Next, a specific description will be given of the “suspension change inciting effect”. A performance control microcomputer 121 can execute a ``pending change premonition'' when the special figure 1 suspension of which the look-ahead pattern is a ``jackpot look-ahead pattern'' and a ``ready-to-lose look-ahead pattern'' is stored.

As shown in FIG. 29, the effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121 stores a pending change swaying announcement selection table 123a3. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the "suspended change stimulus notice" and the type of effect pattern of the "suspension change stimulus notice" by using the suspension change stimulus notice selection table 123a3. There are three types of production patterns, production pattern A to production pattern C. Rendering pattern A is a rendering pattern in which a luminous star image G500b is displayed in white in the luminous image display area dy1RX. Rendering pattern B is a rendering pattern in which a luminous star image G500b is displayed in blue in the luminous image display area dy1RX. Effect pattern C is a effect pattern in which a star emission image G500b is displayed in red in the emission image display area dy1RX.

FIG. 30(B) is a diagram showing the contents of the pending change warning notice selection table 123a3. The production control microcomputer 121 refers to the type of look-ahead pattern and the selection result of the pending change notice selection table 123a2, and determines whether or not to execute the "holding change notice", and executes the "holding change notice". Select the type of production pattern in the case of

Specifically, when the look-ahead pattern is the "jackpot look-ahead pattern" (SHP001) and the "change pattern A" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the effect pattern A "pending change notice" is selected at a rate of 30%, non-execution of ``suspension change agitation notice'' is selected at a rate of 70%, and performance pattern B and performance pattern C ``suspension change agitation notice'' is not selected.

Further, when the look-ahead pattern is the "jackpot look-ahead pattern" (SHP001) and the "change pattern B" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the production pattern A "pending change notice" is executed. 10%, 30% of execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern B, non-execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern C is selected at a rate of 60%, and execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern C Not selected.

Further, when the look-ahead pattern is the "jackpot look-ahead pattern" (SHP001) and the "change pattern C" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the "pending change notice" of the effect pattern A is executed. 10%, 30% of execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern C, non-execution of "pending change notice" is selected at a rate of 60%, and execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern B is selected. Not selected.

Further, when the look-ahead pattern is the "read-ahead look-ahead pattern" (SHP002) and the "change pattern A" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the "hold change notice" of the effect pattern A is executed. 10%, non-execution of "suspended change premonition" is selected at a rate of 90%, and execution of "suspension change premonition" of effect pattern B and effect pattern C is not selected.

Further, when the look-ahead pattern is the "read-ahead look-ahead pattern for reach-losing" (SHP002) and "change pattern B" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the "hold change notice" of effect pattern A is executed. 10%, 10% execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern B, 80% non-execution of "pending change notice", and execution of production pattern C "pending change notice" Not selected.

In addition, when the look-ahead pattern is the "read-ahead look-ahead pattern for reach-losing" (SHP002) and the "change pattern C" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the production pattern A "pending change notice" is executed. 10%, 10% of execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern C, non-execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern B is selected at a rate of 80%, and execution of "pending change notice" of production pattern B is selected. Not selected.

Further, when the look-ahead pattern is the "normal losing look-ahead pattern" (SHP003) and the "change pattern A" is selected by the pending change notice selection table 123a2, the effect pattern A "pending change notice" is executed. is selected at a rate of 10%, and non-execution of "suspended change agitation notice" is selected at a rate of 90%, and performance pattern B and performance pattern C "suspension change agitation notice" are not selected.

In other words, the look-ahead pattern selected when the result of the look-ahead determination is "look-ahead winning" is more likely to be "pending change incitement notice" than the look-ahead pattern selected when the result of look-ahead determination is "not-won" is set so that the execution of is likely to be selected, and the "suspension change fanning notice" functions as an effect suggesting that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played. Further, when the execution of the change pattern B or the change pattern C in which the display color of the hold icon HA changes is selected, the effect pattern B or the effect pattern C is more likely to be selected than the effect pattern A. The possibility that the display color of the pending icon HA will change is higher in the "pending change warning notice" of the production pattern B or the production pattern C than in the "holding change notice notice" of the production pattern A. It functions as a production that suggests. That is, when the star luminescence image G500b of colors (blue, red) different from the display color (white) of the pending icon HA is displayed, a star of the same color (white) as the display color (white) of the pending icon HA is displayed. It can be said that the display color of the pending icon HA is more likely to change than when the luminous image G500b is displayed, in other words, the jackpot game is more likely to be played.

It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change the selection ratio indicated by the pending change inflection notice selection table 123a3 shown in FIG. 30(B).

When the performance control microcomputer 121 executes the "suspension change stimulus notice", the performance pattern selected by the suspension change stimulus notice selection table 123a3 executes the "suspension change stimulus notice".

Here, the flow of each of the production pattern A to production pattern C "pending change swaying notice" will be described. Production pattern A ~ production pattern C "reservation change fanning notice" may be executed regardless of the special figure 1 reservation number, but here, when the special figure 1 reservation number is "1", the game ball 3 illustrates the “suspension change fanning notice” of production pattern A to production pattern C performed when wins the first start port 11.

FIGS. 33(A) to 33(C) are diagrams showing how the effect pattern A, “prediction of change on hold” is performed. Before the game ball wins the first starting hole 11, as shown in FIG. 33(A), the icon TA (here, "white circle icon" is displayed in the icon display area 50e, and the icon TA is displayed in the reserved icon display area 50d. A pending icon HA ("white circle icon" here) is displayed in the first display area 50d1.

Then, when the game ball wins the first starting hole 11 and the special figure 1 reserved number becomes "2", as shown in FIG. is displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the reserved icon display area 50d, and the star emission image G500b is displayed in white in the emission image display area dy1RX. The star emission image G500b is displayed over all display areas of the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4 of the pending icon display area 50d and the icon display area 50e, and a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses. It will continue to be displayed until Therefore, the star emission image G500b is displayed so as to cover all of the four reserved icons HA and one icon TA when the special figure 1 reserved number is "4", for example.

After that, the special figure 1 reservation is digested, and when the "white star icon" displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the reservation icon display area 50d moves to the first display area 50d1, as shown in FIG. 33(C), The star emission image G500b is again displayed in white in the emission image display area dy1RX, and this star emission image G500b continues to be displayed until a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses. The "white star icon" moved to the first display area 50d1 is continuously displayed without change when the "suspended change notice" of change pattern A is being executed, and the "suspended change notice" of change pattern B is displayed continuously. When "notice" is being executed, the icon changes to "blue star icon" (blue star icon image G402). image G403). FIG. 33(C) shows a case where the change pattern A "suspended change notice" is being executed.

FIGS. 34(A) to 34(C) are diagrams showing how the effect putter B's "suspension change inflection notice" is performed. Before the game ball wins the first starting hole 11, as shown in FIG. 34(A), the icon TA (here, "white circle icon" is displayed in the icon display area 50e, and the icon TA is displayed in the reserved icon display area 50d. A pending icon HA ("white circle icon" here) is displayed in the first display area 50d1.

Then, when the game ball wins the first starting hole 11 and the special figure 1 reserved number becomes "2", as shown in FIG. is displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the reserved icon display area 50d, and the star emission image G500b is displayed in blue in the emission image display area dy1RX. The star emission image G500b is displayed over all display areas of the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4 of the pending icon display area 50d and the icon display area 50e, and a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses. It will continue to be displayed until

After that, the special figure 1 reservation is digested, and when the "white star icon" displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the reservation icon display area 50d moves to the first display area 50d1, as shown in FIG. 34(C), The star emission image G500b is again displayed in blue in the emission image display area dy1RX, and this star emission image G500b continues to be displayed until a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses. The "white star icon" moved to the first display area 50d1 is continuously displayed without change when the "suspended change notice" of change pattern A is being executed, and the "suspended change notice" of change pattern B is displayed continuously. When "notice" is being executed, the icon changes to "blue star icon" (blue star icon image G402). image G403). FIG. 34(C) shows a case where the change pattern B "suspended change notice" is being executed.

FIGS. 35(A) to 35(C) are diagrams showing how the effect pattern C, "hold change premonition" is performed. Before the game ball wins the first starting hole 11, as shown in FIG. 35(A), the icon TA (here, "white circle icon" is displayed in the icon display area 50e, and the icon TA is displayed in the reserved icon display area 50d). A pending icon HA ("white circle icon" here) is displayed in the first display area 50d1.

Then, when the game ball wins the first starting hole 11 and the special figure 1 reserved number becomes "2", as shown in FIG. is displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the reserved icon display area 50d, and the star emission image G500b is displayed in red in the emission image display area dy1RX. The star emission image G500b is displayed over all display areas of the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4 of the pending icon display area 50d and the icon display area 50e, and a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses. It will continue to be displayed until

After that, when the special figure 1 reservation is digested and the "white star icon" displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the reservation icon display area 50d moves to the first display area 50d1, as shown in FIG. 35(C), The star emission image G500b is again displayed in red in the emission image display area dy1RX, and this star emission image G500b continues to be displayed until a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) elapses. The "white star icon" moved to the first display area 50d1 is continuously displayed without change when the "suspended change notice" of change pattern A is being executed, and the "suspended change notice" of change pattern B is displayed continuously. When "notice" is being executed, the icon changes to "blue star icon" (blue star icon image G402). image G403). FIG. 35(C) shows a case where the change pattern C "suspended change notice" is being executed.

In the second embodiment, the transmittance of the star emission image G500b is set high so that even if the star emission image G500b is displayed on the pending icon HA and the icon TA, the pending icon HA and the icon TA are easily visible. However, when the transmittance of the star emission image G500b is set low and the star emission image G500b is displayed on the pending icon HA and the icon TA, even if the pending icon HA and the icon TA are invisible or difficult to see. good.

Here, with reference to FIG. 36, the display timing of the star emission image G500b (light emission timing of the LED for the light guide plate) and the display timing of the hold icon HA displayed in the "pending change warning notice" will be described. FIG. 36 is a time chart showing the temporal flow of the "pending change notice". Here, an example of "pending change notice" performed in parallel with the "pending change notice" in which the "white star icon" as the holding icon HA changes to the "red star icon" is shown.

The "pending change warning notice" is performed from t1 to t4, as shown in FIG. The LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate do not emit light until t1 when the "suspension change fanning notice" is started (the star emission image G500b is not displayed).

Then, at t1 when the special figure 1 pending number increases, a "white star icon" is displayed as the pending icon HA on the display unit 50a, and the display of the "white star icon" is displayed until t3 when the special figure 1 pending is digested. continue. Also, during 1500 ms from t1 to t2, the LEDs (b), (d), (e), and (g) for the light guide plate emit white, blue, or red light (a star emission image G500b is displayed).

Then, at t3, the "red star icon" is displayed as the pending icon HA on the display unit 50a, and the display of the "red star icon" continues until t5 when the special figure 1 pending corresponding to this "red star icon" is consumed. continue. In addition, during 1500 ms from t3 to t4, the LEDs (b), (d), (e), and (g) for the light guide plate emit light again in white, blue, or red (star emission image G500b is displayed again. ).

Then, at t4, all the LEDs (a) to (h) for the light guide plate stop emitting light, and the "suspension change warning notice" ends. In the second embodiment, even after the display color of the "white star icon" changes in the "pending change warning notice", the star emission image G500b is displayed again. The display of the star emission image G500b may not be performed after is changed.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38, according to the variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the special figure variation performance that can be executed by the performance control microcomputer 121 will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute the following productions in the special figure fluctuation production.

I. Normal Fluctuation "Normal Fluctuation" is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of the variable display of special symbols, and is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed. "Normal fluctuation" is performed first in the special figure fluctuation production, so it functions as a production that suggests that the special figure fluctuation production has been started.

J. Reach "Reach" is an effect that may be performed after "Normal variation", and is an effect in which the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stop-displayed with the same type of effect pattern. "Reach" may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", so it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played. In addition, since "reach" may develop into reach performances such as "N reach", "SP reach", "SPSP reach" after that, as a performance suggesting that reach performance may be performed also works.

K. N-reach "N-reach" is an effect that may be performed after "reach" is established, and is a ready-to-win effect in which the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually slows down. Since "N reach" may be performed when the result of jackpot determination is "jackpot win", it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played.

L. SP Reach "SP Reach" is an effect sometimes performed after "N Reach", and is a reach effect in which the main character and the enemy character battle. "SP Reach" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot judgment is "winning" than when the result is "losing", so a production that suggests that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be performed. function as In addition, since jackpot games are more likely to be played when "N reach" develops into "SP reach" than when "N reach" does not develop into "SP reach", "SP reach" is , and "N reach", it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a higher possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

M. SPSP Reach "SPSP Reach" is an effect sometimes performed after "SP Reach", and is a reach effect in which a main character and a strong enemy character battle. ``SPSP Reach'' is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is ``winning the jackpot'' than when the result is ``losing'', so the production suggests that the possibility of the jackpot game being played is high. function as In addition, since the jackpot game is more likely to be played when “SP reach” develops into “SPSP reach” than when “SP reach” does not develop into “SPSP reach”, “SPSP reach” is , "SP Reach" also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a higher possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

N. Development Notice “Development Notice” is an effect that may be performed in “N Reach”, and is an advance notice effect in which the star emission image G500a is displayed. ``Development notice'' is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is ``winning the jackpot'' than when the result is ``losing'', so a production that suggests that the possibility of a jackpot game being played is high. function as Further, since the "development notice" develops into "SP reach" after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that it develops into "SP reach".

Next, with reference to FIG. 37, the production flow of the main special figure fluctuation production will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the effect flow, and uses the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, and the light guide plate unit dyX according to the display of the effect image. A light emission effect and a sound effect using the speaker 52 can be executed.

As shown in FIG. 37(A), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns "SPSP big hit variation" and "SPSP loss variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach" → An effect flow composed of "SPSP Reach" is executed. In addition, "development notice" may be performed in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of these fluctuation patterns.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 37(B), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns "SP big hit variation" and "SP loss variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach ” is executed. In addition, "development notice" may be performed in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of these fluctuation patterns.

Also, as shown in FIG. 37(C), in the special figure variation performance with the variation pattern "N loss variation", the performance flow composed of "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" is executed. .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 37(D), in the special figure variation effect with the variation pattern of "normal loss A variation" and "normal loss B variation", the effect flow composed only of "normal variation" is executed. be.

Next, the main effects executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be specifically described. It should be noted that, in the special figure variation effect described below, the display of the pending icon HA is also performed in parallel, but the illustration of the pending icon HA may be omitted.

First, the “development notice” will be specifically explained. The effect control microcomputer 121 has a variation pattern of "SPSP jackpot variation", "SP jackpot variation", "SPSP loss variation", "SP loss variation", and "N loss variation". It is possible to execute "development notice".

As shown in FIG. 29, the effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121 stores an advance notice selection table 123a4. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the "development notice" and the type of the "development notice" using the advance notice selection table 123a4. There are two types of "development notice": "red notice" in which the star emission image G500a emits red light, and "white notice" in which the star emission image G500a emits white light.

FIG. 30C is a diagram showing the contents of the advance notice selection table 123a4. The effect control microcomputer 121 refers to the type of variation pattern to determine whether or not to execute the "development notice", and if the "development notice" is executed, executes either "red notice" or "white notice". to choose.

Specifically, when the fluctuation patterns are "SPSP jackpot fluctuation" (THP001) and "SP jackpot fluctuation" (THP002), the execution of "red notice" is 40%, the execution of "white notice" is 20%, and the " 40% of the time, non-execution of "development notice" is selected.

In addition, when the fluctuation pattern is "SPSP loss fluctuation" (THP011), the execution of "red notice" is 20%, the execution of "white notice" is 20%, and the non-execution of "development notice" is 60%. selected.

Also, when the variation pattern is "SP loss variation" (THP012), the execution of "red notice" is 10%, the execution of "white notice" is 20%, and the non-execution of "development notice" is 70%. selected.

In other words, it is set so that the execution of "development notice" is more likely to be selected when it is judged as "jackpot winning" than when it is judged as "losing" in the jackpot judgment, and "development notice" functions as a production with a high degree of expectation for a big hit. In addition, in the case of "SPSP jackpot fluctuation" and "SPSP loss fluctuation", the "development notice" is "Red The setting is made so that the execution of "notice" is more likely to be selected, and the "red notice" also functions as an effect suggesting that the possibility of developing into "SPSP reach" is higher than the "white notice". It should be noted that the selection ratio indicated by the advance notice selection table 123a4 shown in FIG. 30(C) can be changed as appropriate.

When the performance control microcomputer 121 executes the "development notice", it executes the "development notice" of the type selected by the development notice selection table 123a4 in the "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production.

FIGS. 38(A) to 38(C) are diagrams showing how the "development notice" is performed. As shown in FIG. 38(A), the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are stopped and displayed with the same type of production pattern, and "reach" is established (here, "5 ↓ 5" reach number ), then "N reach" starts. Then, when a predetermined time (for example, two seconds) elapses after the start of the "N reach", the "development notice" is performed.

In the "development notice", as shown in FIG. 38B, the display unit 50a is blacked out, and the pending icon HA and the icon TA displayed in the pending icon display area 50d and the icon display area 50e are erased. , a star emission image G500a is displayed in the emission image display area dy1RX of the light guide plate dy1X. At this time, the star emission image G500a is displayed in red when the execution of the "red notice" is selected by the development notice selection table 123a4, and the star emission image G500a is displayed when the execution of the "white notice" is selected. is displayed in white.

When a predetermined time (for example, 2.5 seconds) elapses after the star emission image G500a is displayed in the emission image display region dy1R of the light guide plate dy1, the blackout is canceled as shown in FIG. 38(C). At the same time, the star luminous image G500a is hidden, the "development notice" ends, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, the pending icon HA and the icon TA are redisplayed.

<Consideration of Second Embodiment>
The pachinko game machine PY1 described in the second embodiment will be considered below.

First, the display color of the star emission image G500b in the "pending change warning notice" will be considered. In the "pending change warning", the star emission image G500b is displayed in white, blue, or red. Then, in the "suspension change notice", a white star icon may be displayed as the suspension icon HA, and the star emission image G500b is displayed when the white star icon is displayed. That is, it can be said that the display color of the star emission image G500a is sometimes displayed in white, which is the same color as the white star icon, and sometimes displayed in blue or red, which is different from the white star icon.

Next, the relationship between the "suspended change premonition" of production pattern A and the "suspension change premonition" of production pattern B or C will be considered. In the change pattern A "suspended change notice", the white star icon does not change. In addition, in the production pattern A "pending change notice", the star emission image G500b is displayed in white, which is the same color as the white star icon. The luminescent image G500b is displayed in blue or red, which is a color different from that of the white star icon. And, while the "holding change notice" of production pattern A may be performed when the "holding change notice" of change pattern A is performed, the "holding change notice" of production pattern B or production pattern C may be performed. , change pattern B or change pattern C is performed only when the "suspended change notice" is performed (see FIG. 30(B)). That is, the white star icon is a blue star icon or a red star icon when the "pending change notice" of production pattern A is performed and when the "pending change notice" of production pattern B or production pattern C is performed. It can be said that the probability of changing to is different.

Next, the relationship between the star emission images G500a and G500b and the hold icon HA will be considered. The star emission image G500a is displayed in the "advancement notice", but when the "advancement notice" is performed, the pending icon HA is erased, so the star emission image G500a and the pending icon HA are displayed overlapping each other. There is no On the other hand, the star emission image G500b is displayed in the "pending change notice", but when the "pending change notice" is performed, the star emission image G500b and the pending icon HA are displayed in an overlapping manner. In other words, it can be said that there are times when the luminous image representing the star is displayed so as to overlap the pending icon HA and times when it is displayed so as not to overlap the pending icon HA.

Next, the relationship between the star emission image G500a in the "advancement notice" and the star emission image G500b in the "suspension change inflection notice" will be considered. In the "advancement notice", the star emission image G500a does not overlap the pending icon HA, while in the "pending change warning notice", the star emission image G500b overlaps the pending icon HA. Then, "development notice" is performed only when the fluctuation pattern (THP001, THP002, THP011, THP012) develops into "SP reach", while "pending change agitation notice" is a fluctuation that does not develop into "SP reach" This may also be done when the pre-reading patterns (SHP002, SHP003) correspond to the patterns (THP013, THP021, THP022) (see FIGS. 30B and 30C). That is, when the ``suspension change warning notice'' is performed in which the luminous image representing the star overlaps with the pending icon HA, and the ``development notice'' is performed in which the luminous image representing the star is displayed without overlapping the pending icon HA. It can be said that the probability of the jackpot game being performed is different from when the is performed.

<Effects of Second Embodiment>
The effects of the pachinko game machine PY1 described in the second embodiment will be described below.

(14) In the “pending change warning notice”, the star emission image G500b representing the star is displayed so as to overlap with the white star icon image G401 representing the star, so that the stars having the same motif can be superimposed on each other. , it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(15) In the "suspension change fanning notice", the star emission image G500b is displayed so as to overlap with all the same four pending icons HA as the upper limit of the special figure 1 pending number, so what is the special figure 1 pending number Even if there is only one, the pending icon HA and the luminous star image G500b can be superimposed to make the game more interesting.

(16) In the “pending change warning notice”, when the same white star emission image G500b is displayed so as to overlap with the white star icon image G401, and when a blue or red star emission image G500b that is not white is displayed. Since there is time and time, it is possible to diversify the "suspension change provoking notice" and increase the interest of the game.

(17) When the same white star emission image G500b is displayed so as to overlap with the white star icon image G401, and when the star emission image G500b in blue or red, which is not white, is displayed so as to overlap with the white star icon image G401, Since the probability that the white star icon image G401 changes to the blue star icon image G402 or the red star icon image G403 differs depending on the time, suggesting the possibility that the color of the white star icon changes depending on the display color of the star emission image G500b. It is possible to increase the interest of the game.

(18) When the display color of the white star icon image G401 changes after the blue or red star emission image G500b is displayed in the “pending change warning notice”, the blue star that is the same color as the star emission image G500b is displayed. Since the icon image G402 or the red star icon image G403 is changed, the display color of the star emission image G500b can suggest the color after the change of the white star icon, thereby making the game more interesting.

(19) When the “suspension change warning” is performed in which the star emission image G500b is displayed so as to overlap the pending icon HA, and when the “development change advance notice” is performed in which the star emission image G500a is displayed so as not to overlap the pending icon HA. Since there is time and time when the "notice" is performed, it is possible to diversify the effects using the luminous image and enhance the interest of the game.

(20) When the "pending change warning" is performed in which the star emission image G500b is displayed so as to overlap with the pending icon HA, and when the star emission image G500a is displayed so as not to overlap with the pending icon HA " Since the probability of a big win game being played differs depending on whether the development notice is played or not, it is possible to suggest the possibility of a big win game being played depending on whether or not the luminous image representing the star overlaps with the pending icon HA. It is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(21) Since the size of the luminescence image G500b in the "pending change notice" and the star luminescence image G500a in the "development notice" are different, either "pending change notice" or "development notice" It is possible to make it easy to understand whether the game is being performed, and to increase the interest in the game.

Although they are made the same character, they may be made different characters.

In addition, in the first embodiment, in the "retreat/approach notice" of the "advancement notice", the Oiwa emission image G300a overlaps only a part of the main character 2D image G2000, which is a 2D image. G300a may overlap the entire main character 2D image G2000.

Further, in the first embodiment, the "development notice" is performed in the "N reach" in the special figure variation production, but it may be performed in other productions. For example, the "development notice" may be performed in the "normal fluctuation" in the special figure fluctuation production.

Further, in the second embodiment, the star emission image G500b is displayed so as to overlap the "white star icon" as the pending icon HA, but it may overlap an icon different from the pending icon HA. . For example, it is possible to display a development suggesting icon that suggests a future destination, and display the star emission image G500b so as to overlap the development suggesting icon.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the white star icon image G401 and the luminous star image G500b are made to display common motifs in the "pending change warning", but it is recognized that they are related to each other. A different motif may be displayed as long as it is possible.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the white star icon image G401 and the star emission image G500b are displayed in the same display mode in the "pending change warning", but they express the same thing. As long as it can be recognized, the display form may not be exactly the same.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the white star icon image G401 representing a star is displayed in the "pending change notice". You can do so. In this case, it is preferable that a luminous image representing the main character is displayed as the luminous image displayed in the "pending change warning".

In addition, in the second embodiment, when the "suspended change inciting notice" of the effect pattern B or the effect pattern C is performed, the win is more likely than when the "suspended change inciting notice" of the effect pattern A is performed. The icon is made easy to change to a blue star icon or a red star icon, but the "pending change notice" of production pattern B or production pattern C is more likely to occur than when the "pending change notice" of production pattern A is performed. A white star icon may be less likely to change to a blue star icon or a red star icon when it is performed.

In addition, in the second embodiment, in "N reach", the pending icon HA is erased so that the pending icon HA and the star emission image G500a do not overlap. Alternatively, the star emission image G500a may be displayed in the emission image display area dy1RX at a position not overlapping the hold icon HA.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the luminous image representing the star does not overlap the pending icon HA more than when the "suspension change warning notice" is performed in which the luminous image representing the star overlaps the pending icon HA. When the displayed "development notice" is performed, the jackpot game is more likely to be played, but the "suspension change agitation notice" is performed in which the luminous image representing the star is displayed overlapping the suspension icon HA. It may be more difficult for the jackpot game to be performed when the "advancement notice", in which the luminous image representing the star is displayed without overlapping the holding icon HA, is performed than when it is hit.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the "development notice" is executed based on the fluctuation pattern (result of judgment of the big hit), but it is executed based on the prefetch pattern (result of prefetch judgment). can be For example, the "development notice" may be executed only when the look-ahead pattern is "SHP001". In this case, the "advancement notice" can suggest that there is a special figure reservation that is determined to be a "jackpot winning" in the jackpot determination, and it is possible to increase the interest in the game.

Further, in the second embodiment, the "development notice" is performed in the "N reach" in the special figure variation production, but it may be performed in other productions. For example, the "development notice" may be performed in the "normal fluctuation" in the special figure fluctuation production.

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

In addition, in the basic embodiment, only the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a in parallel with the variable display of the special symbols. Other symbols may be variably displayed on the display section 50a. In this case, it is preferable to make the sizes of the other symbols smaller than the sizes of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3.

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

In addition, in the basic embodiment, the first special figure and the second special figure are not variably displayed at the same time, and only one of them is variably displayed. At the same time, they may be variably displayed.
