The general prize-winning port is also called a normal prize-winning port.

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as game states with different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery. The high-probability state is a gaming state with a high jackpot probability compared to the low-probability state. The high-probability state is a so-called "probability-variable state (probability-variable state)", and the low-probability state is a "non-probability-variable state (non-probability-variable state)". In the following description, a high-probability state is referred to as a "probability-variable state", and a low-probability state is referred to as a "non-probability-variable state". In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the game ball has a higher probability of entering the second starting port 27 than in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electrical support state", and the low base state is the "non-electrical support state".

The high base state can be realized, for example, by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol variation time shortening control that shortens the variation time (for example, average variation time) of the normal game as compared to the low base state. The second control is normal symbol probability variation control for varying the probability of winning the normal winning lottery (normal winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is open time extension control that makes the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal per game longer than in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, the control to increase the number of opening times of the first variable member 28 in one normal winning game than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in the normal winning game At least one of the controls for making the open time of is longer than in the low base state. Also, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) more likely to be shorter than in the low base state. When the variable time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes a so-called "variable time shortening state (variable short state)".

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first variable member 28 may be in the open state even in the low base state. There is However, when it is in the low base state, for example, it is configured so as not to win the normal winning lottery, and when it is in the low base state, the first variable member 28 is not opened, and the game is opened to the second start port 27. It may be configured so that the ball does not enter the ball. In addition, when it is in the low base state, for example, even if it wins the normal winning lottery, the first variable member 28 is configured not to be in the open state, so that the game ball does not enter the second start port 27. can be configured to In the above configuration, the low base state is a state in which a game ball cannot enter the second starting port 27, and the high base state is a state in which a game ball can enter the second starting port 27. I can say.

The high base state includes a first high base state and a second high base state. In the first high base state and the second high base state, the first control is performed, and the normal game variation time (for example, average variation time) is shorter than in the low base state. A second control is performed in the first high base state. On the other hand, the second control is not performed in the second high base state. Therefore, in the first high base state, the normal hit probability is higher than in the second high base state and the low base state. The third control is performed in the first high base state and the second high base state, and the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit is longer than in the low base state. The fourth control is performed in the first high base state and the second high base state, and the special game variation time (for example, average variation time) is shorter than in the low base state.

In the game state, there are a normal game state, a specific high-probability short-time state, a specific low-probability short-time state, a special game state, and a special game state. The normal game state is a game state controlled to a non-probability variable state and a low base state. Specific high certainty short working hours state is a game state controlled to the probability variable state and the first high base state. The specific low probability short working hours state is a game state controlled to the non-probability variable state and the first high base state. The special game state and the special game state are game states controlled to the non-probability variable state and the second high base state. Although the details will be described later, the special game state and the special game state have different triggers for being controlled to each game state. Then, the pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to one game state out of a normal game state, a specific high-probability short-time state, a specific low-probability short-time state, a special game state, and a special game state. In the following description, the specific high-probability short working hours state and the specific low-probable short working hours state may be collectively referred to as the specific gaming state. Both the specific high-probability short working hours state and the specific low-probable short working hours state that are in the specific game state are game states controlled to the first high base state. Therefore, the specific game state can be regarded as a game state controlled to the first high base state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the specific high-probability short-time state, the specific low-probability short-time state, the special game state, and the special game state are all advantageous game states compared to the normal game state. Specifically, the specific high-probability short working hours state and the specific low-probable short working hours state have a high degree of advantage regarding entry of the game ball to the second start port 27 as compared to the normal game state. Similarly, the special game state has a higher advantage with respect to the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 27 as compared with the normal game state. Also, the special game state has a higher advantage with respect to the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 27 as compared with the normal game state. In this embodiment, the specific high-probability short working hours state and the specific low-probable short working hours state controlled to the first high base state correspond to the first advantageous gaming state, which is advantageous compared to the normal gaming state. In this embodiment, the game state controlled to the first high base state can also be regarded as the first advantageous game state. The first advantageous game state has a higher advantage for the game ball entering the second start port than the normal game state. Further, in the present embodiment, the special game state and the special game state controlled to the second high base state correspond to the second advantageous game state which is more advantageous than the normal game state. In this embodiment, the gaming state controlled to the second high base state can also be regarded as the second advantageous gaming state. The second advantageous game state has a higher advantage with respect to the entry of the game ball into the second start port than the normal game state.

Next, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a plurality of types of jackpot patterns as special jackpot patterns. The plural kinds of jackpot patterns are classified into first jackpot patterns, second jackpot patterns, third jackpot patterns, and fourth jackpot patterns. The types of jackpots are determined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. A game state after the end of the jackpot game may be defined in the jackpot symbol. In the big-hit game, first, an opening performance for notifying the start of the big-hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. During the opening period, the decoration lamp 17 emits light in a lighting mode related to the opening effect. During the opening period, the speaker 18 outputs music related to the opening effect. During the opening period, the effect display device 25 executes the display effect related to the opening effect. In the jackpot game, a round game is performed in which the jackpot 29 is opened after the opening effect is finished. A round game is performed with a predetermined upper limit number of times as the upper limit. In one round game, the big winning opening 29 is the first round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter, or the second round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. open for a while. In the round game, a round production is performed. In the jackpot game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect for notifying the end of the jackpot game is performed over a predetermined ending period. During the ending period, the decoration lamp 17 emits light in a lighting mode related to the ending effect. During the ending period, the speaker 18 outputs music related to the ending effect. During the ending period, the effect display device 25 executes the display effect related to the ending effect. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends. In this embodiment, the ending period in the jackpot game corresponds to the specific period in the winning game. That is, in this embodiment, the specific period is included in the period during which the winning game is awarded.

As shown in FIG. 3, the jackpots include a first jackpot, a second jackpot, a third jackpot, and a fourth jackpot. The first big win is determined for the big win symbols classified as the first big win symbols. A second big win is determined for the big win symbols classified as the second big win symbols. A third big win is determined for the big win symbols classified as the third big win symbols. A fourth big win is determined for the big win symbols classified as the fourth big win symbols. In the following description, the jackpot game based on the first jackpot is "first jackpot game", the jackpot game based on the second jackpot is "second jackpot game", the jackpot game based on the third jackpot is "third jackpot game", A jackpot game based on the fourth jackpot is indicated as "fourth jackpot game".

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery triggered by a ball entering the first start hole 26 (shown as a first special game in FIG. 3), the first big win is selected as the kind of big win. is determined with a probability of 60% and the second jackpot with a probability of 40%. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big win is won in the big win lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the second start hole 27 (shown as a second special game in FIG. 3), the type of the big win is the The third jackpot is decided with a probability of 60% and the fourth jackpot with a probability of 40%.

The number of round games (indicated as the number of rounds in FIG. 3) is determined for each jackpot. Concretely, the number of times of the round game is set to be "four times" for the first jackpot. For the second jackpot, "four times" is set as the number of round games. For the third jackpot, "10 times" is set as the number of round games. For the fourth jackpot, "6 times" is set as the number of round games.

For each big win, a game state after the end of the big win game is determined. Specifically, the first jackpot is determined to be in a probability variable state after the jackpot game is finished. At this time, the variable probability state continues until the next big hit game is given (in FIG. 3, it is shown as "until the next time"). Further, the first big win is defined to be in the first high base state after the end of the big win game. At this time, the first high base state continues until the next jackpot game is awarded. The first jackpot is determined to be in a probability variable state after the jackpot game ends. At this time, the variable probability state continues until the next big hit game is given (in FIG. 3, it is shown as "until the next time"). For the first big win, it is determined that the first high base state is set after the big win game ends. At this time, the first high base state continues until the next big win game is given regardless of the game state when the big win is won. Further, the second jackpot is defined to be in a non-probability variable state after the jackpot game ends. For the second jackpot, it is determined that the first high base state is set after the jackpot game ends. At this time, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the normal game state, the first high base state is set until the 50th special game is completed, or until the 50th special game is completed. This is continued until the jackpot game is awarded. On the other hand, when the game state when the jackpot is won is any one of the specific high-probability short working hours state, the specific low-probable short working hours state, the special game state and the special game state, the first high base state is the special game of 100 times. is completed, or until a jackpot game is awarded by the time special games are completed 100 times. In addition, the third jackpot is determined to be in a probability variable state after the jackpot game ends. At this time, the variable probability state continues until the next big hit game is awarded. For the third jackpot, it is determined that the first high base state is set after the jackpot game ends. At this time, the first high base state continues until the next big win game is given regardless of the game state when the big win is won. In addition, the fourth jackpot is set to be in a non-probability variable state after the jackpot game ends. For the fourth jackpot, it is determined that the first high base state is set after the jackpot game ends. At this time, regardless of the game state when the big win is won, the first high base state is until the 100th special game is finished or the 100th special game is finished. It continues until the jackpot game is awarded by.

Each jackpot has an opening time (shown as OP time in FIG. 3) corresponding to the time of the opening period. Similarly, each jackpot has an ending time (indicated as ED time in FIG. 3) corresponding to the time of the ending period. Specifically, for the first and second jackpots, the opening time is set to "15 seconds" and the ending time is set to "20 seconds" when the game state when the jackpot is won is the normal game state. there is On the other hand, for the first jackpot and the second jackpot, when the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is any one of a specific high-probability short-time state, a specific low-probability short-time state, a special game state, and a special game state, the opening is performed. "12 seconds" is set as the time, and "15 seconds" is set as the ending time. For the third big win and the fourth big win, ``12 seconds'' as the opening time and ``15 seconds'' as the ending time are set when the game state when the big win is won is the normal game state. On the other hand, for the third jackpot and the fourth jackpot, when the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is any one of a specific high-probability short-time state, a specific low-probability short-time state, a special game state, and a special game state, the opening is performed. "10 seconds" is set as the time, and "12 seconds" is set as the ending time.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the ending time of the jackpot game when the jackpot is won in the normal game state and the jackpot game is awarded is the jackpot in the specific game state. It is longer than the ending time in the big winning game when the big winning game is awarded. For example, the ending time is ``15 seconds'' when a jackpot is won and a second jackpot game is awarded in the normal game state, while the jackpot is won and the second jackpot is awarded in a specific game state. The ending time when the game is awarded is "12 seconds". That is, in the normal game state, when winning is won in the winning lottery and the winning game is given, the specific period in the winning game is won in the winning lottery when in the first advantageous game state. It is longer than the specific period in the winning game when the winning game is awarded.

In addition, the ending time of the jackpot game when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is awarded in the normal game state is the ending time when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is awarded in the special game state. It is longer than the ending time in the big hit game. For example, the ending time is ``15 seconds'' when a big win is won and a second big win game is awarded in the normal game state, while the big win is won and the second big win is awarded in a special game state. The ending time when the game is awarded is "12 seconds". That is, the specific period in the winning game when winning is won in the winning lottery and the winning game is awarded in the normal game state is won in the winning lottery in the special game state and the winning game is played. Longer than the specific period in the winning game when is awarded.

Also, the ending time of the jackpot game when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is awarded in the normal game state is the ending time when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is awarded in the special game state. It is longer than the ending time in the big hit game. For example, the ending time is ``15 seconds'' when a jackpot is won and a second jackpot game is provided in the normal game state, while the jackpot is won and a second jackpot game is awarded in the special game state. The ending time when the game is awarded is "12 seconds". That is, a specific period in the winning game when winning is won in the winning lottery and the winning game is awarded in the normal game state is won in the winning lottery in the special game state and the winning game is played. Longer than the specific period in the winning game when is awarded.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in the big win lottery performed when the first special game is executed, that is, when the big win lottery is won in the big win lottery performed when the ball enters the first start hole 26, the winning lottery is won. When winning, the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game is provided. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big win is won in the big win lottery performed in executing the second special game, that is, when the big win lottery is won in the big win lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the second start hole 27, a big win is won. When winning, a third big winning game or a fourth big winning game is provided. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the jackpot is won in any game state, the ending time of the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game is the same as that of the third jackpot game and the fourth jackpot game. longer than the ending time. In other words, the ending period when a big hit is won in the jackpot lottery triggered by the ball entering the first start port 26 and the jackpot game is awarded is triggered by the ball entering the second start port 27. The ending period is longer than the ending period when a big win is won and a big win game is awarded in the big win lottery. That is, in the present embodiment, when a winning lottery is won in a winning lottery triggered by a ball entering the first starting port and a winning game is awarded, a specific period in the winning game is transferred to the second starting port. is longer than the specific period in the winning game when winning is won in the winning lottery triggered by the entry of a ball and the winning game is awarded.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big win is won in a big win lottery and a big win game is awarded, the game is controlled to the first high base state after the big win game is finished. That is, the specific game state as the first advantageous game state controlled to the first high base state can be controlled after the end of the big win game by giving at least the big win game. In other words, the specific game state can be controlled after winning in the winning lottery and after the winning game ends. In the present embodiment, the first condition is established when a big win is won in a big win lottery, a big win game is awarded, and the big win game ends. That is, in the present embodiment, the first condition is established by at least giving a winning game. In this embodiment, the first advantageous gaming state can be controlled when the first condition is satisfied.

However, in the pachinko game machine 10, even if a big win is not won in the big win lottery, the game may be controlled to the second high base state. In other words, the pachinko game machine 10 may be controlled to the high base state even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery.

For example, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the second high base state when the number of executions of the special game in the non-variable state reaches a specified number of times. The specified number of times in the pachinko game machine 10 is 900 times. The game state is controlled to the non-variable probability state and the second high-based state when the game state is controlled to the second high base state with the trigger that the number of executions of the special game reaches the specified number in the non-variable probability state. It is in play state. In this embodiment, the special game state is the game state when the game is controlled to the second high base state when the number of times the special game is executed reaches the specified number of times in the non-variable probability state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the special game state can be controlled by reaching the specified number of executions of the variable game within the specified period even if the winning lottery is not won. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state continues until the special game of the special number ends or until the jackpot game is awarded before the special game of the special number ends. do. Incidentally, the special number of times in this embodiment is 800 times.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state can be controlled when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state is not controlled even if a jackpot game is awarded. In this way, the special game state as the second advantageous game state is not controlled even if a jackpot game is awarded, and can be controlled when the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period reaches the predetermined number. be. In this embodiment, the second condition is established when the number of times the special game is executed within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. That is, the second condition is different from the first condition. In this embodiment, the second advantageous gaming state can be controlled when the second condition is established. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second condition may be satisfied when the number of executions of the variable game within the predetermined period reaches the specified number.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit is not won in the special game, some of the special symbols fixed and stopped in the special game are fixed and stopped, and the second height is triggered. It may be controlled to the base state. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be controlled to the second high base state when a chance symbol is fixed and stopped displayed in a special game while in the low base state. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even if the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game in the high base state, it is not controlled to the second high base state. When the game state is controlled to the second high base state in response to the fixed stop display of the chance symbols in the special game in the low base state, the game state is controlled to the non-probability variable state and the second high base state. It is in play state. In the present embodiment, the game state when controlled to the second high base state with the chance symbol being determined and stopped displayed in the special game in the low base state becomes the special game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the special game state can be controlled after the second result is derived in the variation game even if the winning lottery does not win. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state continues until the special game of the special number of times ends or until the jackpot game is awarded before the special game of the special number of times ends. do. Incidentally, the special number of times in this embodiment is 30 times.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state can be controlled when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special game state is not controlled even if a jackpot game is awarded. In this way, the special game state as the second advantageous game state is not controlled even if a big win game is awarded, and can be controlled when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped displayed in the special game. In the present embodiment, the second condition is satisfied when the chance symbol is fixed and stopped in the special game during the normal game state. That is, the second condition is different from the first condition. In this embodiment, the second advantageous gaming state can be controlled when the second condition is satisfied. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second condition may be satisfied when the second result is derived in the variable game.

In addition, in the display effect that can be executed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment, patterns for effect (hereinafter referred to as effect patterns) are variably displayed in a plurality of rows, and finally the combination of the effect patterns is fixed and stopped. There is a production pattern game (hereinafter referred to as a production game). The performance game is executed by changing performance symbols in a plurality of rows. The production pattern is a pattern decorated with characters, patterns, etc., for diversifying the display production, and is also called "decorative pattern" or "decorative pattern". The effect game in this embodiment is performed by vertically variably displaying (scrolling) the first, second, and third symbol rows (effect symbol rows). In the following description, the "first column" is indicated as "left column", the "first pattern" is indicated as "left pattern", the "second column" is indicated as "middle column", and the "second pattern" is indicated. The "middle pattern" is indicated, the "third row" is indicated as the "right row", and the "third pattern" is indicated as the "right pattern". In each row, as a general rule, production patterns imitating numbers "1" to "8" are variably displayed in a predetermined order.

The production game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game and ended with the end of the special game. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect game while the special game is being executed. Then, in the effect game, a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the special symbols fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is fixed and stopped. In the special game, when the big-hit symbols are determined and stopped and displayed, the big-hit symbols based on the performance symbols are determined and stopped and displayed in the effect game. For example, the big hit pattern by the production pattern is a pattern combination such as "777" in which the production pattern of all rows is the same. Further, in the special game, when the winning symbols are determined and stopped displayed, in the performance game, the winning symbols due to the performance symbols are determined and stopped. For example, the lost design by the performance design is a design combination such as "323", "115", "426", etc., in which at least some of the performance designs are different from the performance designs of the other rows. Further, when the chance symbols are determined and stopped displayed in the special game, the chance symbols based on the performance symbols are determined and stopped displayed in the effect game. For example, the chance symbols based on the performance symbols are symbol combinations such as "123" and "112", in which at least some rows of performance symbols are different from other rows of performance symbols. Lost symbols by production symbols and chance symbols by production symbols may be partially or wholly the same, or may be entirely different. In addition, in the effect game, the effect symbol is once stopped and displayed before the fixed stop display. In this specification, "temporary stop display" means a state indicating that there is a possibility that the pattern may be displayed again in a variable manner, such as a "fluctuation state", or a state indicating that the pattern is different from the fixed stop display. .

In the production game, there are cases where reach is formed and reach production is performed. In this embodiment, the effect symbols imitating the same number are temporarily displayed in specific columns (left and right columns in this embodiment) among a plurality of columns, and a column different from the specific column The state in which the effect symbols of (in the present embodiment, the middle row) are continuously variably displayed corresponds to the state in which reach is formed. The ready-to-win effect may include, for example, a plurality of types of ready-to-win effects in which the characters to appear and the actions of the effect patterns are different. For example, the ready-to-win effect may include a normal ready-to-win effect and a super ready-to-win effect performed after the start of the normal ready-to-win effect.

The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to execute an effect mode. There are multiple types of production modes. Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, one of a plurality of types of presentation modes is executed. The performance mode is also called a performance state.

As shown in FIG. 4, the production modes in this embodiment include a normal mode, a high-probability mode, a chance mode, and a challenge mode. The normal mode is a production mode that is controlled when the normal game state. The high probability mode is a production mode controlled when it is in the specific high probability short working hours state. Chance mode is a production mode controlled when it is in a specific low probability short working hours state. The challenge mode is a performance mode controlled when in a special game state and when in a special game state. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, the effect modes controlled according to the game state are different.

Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to the high probability mode after the first big win game or the third big win game is finished. The pachinko game machine 10 is controlled to the chance mode after the second big win game or the fourth big win game is finished. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the first high base state ends in the chance mode, the game machine 10 is controlled to the normal mode. In addition, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in the normal mode and the number of times the special game is executed within a predetermined period reaches a specified number (in FIG. 4, the number of games=the specified number), it is controlled to a special game state. Along with that, it is controlled in challenge mode. In addition, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in the normal mode, the chance symbols are fixed and displayed in the special game (shown as chance symbol stop in FIG. 4), and when it is controlled to the special game state, the challenge controlled by mode. Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the second high base state ends in the challenge mode, it is controlled to the normal mode.

In each production mode, mode identification information that can identify the production mode during stay (the production mode being controlled) is notified. In the pachinko game machine 10, a different background image is displayed on the effect display device 25 for each type of effect mode. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, for example, the decoration lamp 17 is caused to emit light in a different emission color for each type of production mode, or background music is output from the speaker 18, which is different for each type of production mode. to be notified.

Moreover, the display effects that can be executed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment include a big hit announcement effect. The big win notice effect is a effect that makes the player expect that the special game being executed will be executed based on the winning of the big win. In other words, the big-hit foretelling effect is a performance that makes a player expect a big win. For example, the jackpot announcement effect includes a button announcement effect. In the button advance notice effect, an operation prompting effect for prompting the operation of the effect button BT is executed. In the button advance notice effect, when the effect button BT is operated, the result of the button advance notice effect is derived according to the degree of expectation for the big win.

Also, in the low base state, if the big win lottery is not won and the chance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance symbols and determines the chance variation pattern. In the high base state, when the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is won, and the performance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance pattern and determines the variation pattern with non-big win reach. On the other hand, in the high base state, if the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is won, and the effect lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance symbol and adopts a non-jackpot reach-less variation pattern. decide. When the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is not won, and the performance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the winning pattern and determines the variation pattern with non-big hit reach.

Also, in the low base state, if the big win lottery is not won and the chance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance symbols and determines the chance variation pattern. In the high base state, when the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is won, and the performance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the chance pattern and determines the variation pattern with non-big win reach. On the other hand, in the high base state, if the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is won, and the effect lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 determines the specific trigger pattern and the variation pattern without non-jackpot reach. to decide. When the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is not won, and the performance lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the losing pattern and determines the variation pattern with non-big hit reach. On the other hand, when the big win lottery is not won, the chance lottery is not won, and the performance lottery is not won, the main CPU 41 decides the losing pattern and decides the non-big hit no-reach variation pattern.

Then, when the number of times that can be specified from the second remaining number of times information after the subtraction reaches 0, the main CPU 41 sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state in the open state flag.

Further, the main CPU 41 counts the number of executions of the special game in the non-variable state. Specifically, the main CPU 41 adds 1 to the identifiable number of times from the game execution count information stored in the main RWM 43 each time the special game ends in the non-variable probability state, and updates the game execution count information. do. When the number of times that can be specified from the game execution count information reaches the specified number of times, the main CPU 41 can control to the second high base state when the number of times the special game is executed within the predetermined period reaches the specified number of times. "800 times" corresponding to the number of special games played (special number) is stored in the main RWM 43 as the third remaining number information. Incidentally, when the number of times that can be specified from the game execution number information reaches the prescribed number, the main CPU 41 stores "0" as the second remaining number information in the main RWM 43, and initializes the second remaining number information.

When the identifiable number of times from the third remaining number information is 1 or more, the main CPU 41 subtracts 1 from the identifiable number of times from the third remaining number information, each time the special game ends, and returns the third remaining number information.

Next, normal hit processing performed by the main CPU 41 will be described.
When the normal winning lottery is won, the main CPU 41 determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game ends. The main CPU 41 then controls the first actuator A1 so that the second opening 27 is opened according to the determined opening pattern. Further, even in the middle of opening the second starting port 27 according to the opening pattern, the main CPU 41 allows a predetermined upper limit number of game balls to enter the second starting port 27 after imparting the normal winning game. When the ball is hit, the normal winning game is terminated. Incidentally, the pachinko game machine 10 is configured so that the normal winning lottery can be won even in the low base state, and when the normal winning lottery is won, the first variable member 28 is opened. Become. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is difficult for a game ball to enter the second start port 27 in the low base state as compared to the high base state, but the game ball enters the second start port 27. It is possible to ball. In the normal winning process, the main CPU 41 performs various processes according to the game state. For example, the main CPU 41 determines the opening pattern according to the game state.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 51 based on the sub control program will be described.
When the low probability state command is input, the secondary CPU 51 sets the secondary probability state flag to a value that can identify the non-variable probability state. When the high probability state command is input, the secondary CPU 51 sets the secondary probability state flag to a value that can identify the variable probability state. Further, when receiving the low base state command, the sub CPU 51 sets the sub open state flag to a value that can identify the low base state. When receiving the first high base state command, the sub CPU 51 sets the sub open state flag to a value that can identify the first high base state. When the secondary CPU 51 receives the second high base state command, it sets the secondary open state flag to a value that can identify the second high base state. The secondary probability state flag and the secondary open state flag are stored in the secondary RWM 53 .

In addition, when the sub CPU 51 inputs the first count command, the sub CPU 51 updates the information stored in the sub RWM 53 (hereinafter referred to as sub first count information) so that the number of times that can be specified from the command can be specified. Similarly, when the secondary CPU 51 receives a second count command, it updates the information stored in the secondary RWM 53 (hereinafter referred to as secondary second count information) so that the number of times that can be specified from the command can be specified. Further, when the sub CPU 51 inputs the third number command, the sub CPU 51 updates the information stored in the sub RWM 53 (hereinafter referred to as sub third number information) so that the number of times that can be specified from the command can be specified. The sub CPU 51 can specify either the special game state or the special game state depending on which of the second sub count information and the third sub count information the specifiable count is 1 or more. be.

The sub CPU 51 controls the effect mode. Specifically, the secondary CPU 51 specifies the game state based on the secondary open state flag and the secondary probability state flag. Then, the sub CPU 51 controls to the normal mode when it is in the normal game state. The sub CPU 51 controls to the high probability mode when it is in the specific high probability short working hours state. The secondary CPU 51 controls to the chance mode when it is in a specific low probability short working hours state. The sub CPU 51 controls to the challenge mode when in the special game state. Similarly, the sub CPU 51 controls to the challenge mode when in the special game state. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 51 controls the production mode, thereby realizing a function as production mode control means for controlling the production mode.

The sub CPU 51 controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that a big win effect is performed during the big win game. Specifically, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 51 controls the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the opening effect is performed. When a round command is input, the sub CPU 51 controls the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is executed. When the sub CPU 51 inputs an ending command, the sub CPU 51 controls the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is executed. The performance contents of the big win performance may be changed according to the kind of the big win.

The sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect game is played. Specifically, when a symbol command and a variation pattern designation command are input, the sub CPU 51 performs control to execute the effect game. The sub CPU 51 determines a symbol combination of effect symbols to be finally determined and stopped in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. Concretely, when specifying the big hit variation pattern from the variation pattern specification command, the sub CPU 51 determines the big hit pattern by the production pattern. Further, when specifying a non-jackpot variation pattern from the variation pattern specification command, and specifying a lost pattern from the pattern command, the sub CPU 51 determines a lost pattern based on the effect pattern. For example, when the sub CPU 51 specifies a variation pattern with a non-jackpot reach from the input variation pattern designation command, it determines a losing pattern based on the effect pattern including the reach. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 51 specifies a non-jackpot reach-free variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 51 determines a winning design by a performance symbol that does not include a reach. Also, when specifying a chance variation pattern from a variation pattern specifying command, the sub CPU 51 determines a chance symbol based on a performance symbol. However, when specifying a non-big hit variation pattern from the variation pattern specifying command and specifying a chance symbol from the symbol command, the sub CPU 51 determines a losing symbol by the effect symbol. For example, when the sub CPU 51 specifies a variation pattern with a non-jackpot reach from the input variation pattern designation command, it determines a losing pattern based on the effect pattern including the reach. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 51 specifies a non-jackpot reach-free variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 51 determines a winning design by a performance symbol that does not include a reach.

Further, when the sub CPU 51 inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to variably display the effect symbols. That is, the sub CPU 51 starts the effect game. Then, the sub CPU 51 temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the determined performance symbols at a predetermined timing. After that, the secondary CPU 51, with the input of the end command as a trigger, determines and stops displaying the symbol combination of the production symbols. It should be noted that the sub CPU 51 may measure a variation time that can be specified from the variation pattern regardless of the end command, and may cause the symbol combination to be fixed and displayed when the variation time elapses. In this case, the end command may be omitted. In addition, when the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern specifying command is a variation pattern including a ready-to-win effect, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 to execute the ready-to-win effect. Further, when specifying a chance variation pattern from a variation pattern specifying command, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so as to execute a predetermined chance effect.

Further, when the sub CPU 51 receives a variation pattern specifying command, it performs a lottery for a big hit announcement effect. In the lottery related to the big hit notice effect, in addition to the lottery to decide whether to execute the big hit notice effect, the lottery to determine the type of effect to be executed as the big hit notice effect, and the content of the effect (in terms of the button notice effect, the button There is a lottery to determine the result of the advance notice production).

As described above, this embodiment is configured such that any one of a plurality of types of information including at least the first information and the second information can be set by operating the specifying operation means.

Here, a predetermined standby effect when OFF information is set will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10(a), when the OFF information is set, the first standby effect is executed in the effect display device 25 as a predetermined standby effect in the second standby state. The first standby effect includes an animation effect, a logo effect, and a call for attention regarding immersion. In this way, the first standby effect executed when the OFF information is set includes a call for attention regarding immersion. In the Pachinko game machine 10, when the OFF information is set, the animation performance is executed for the time T1, the logo performance is executed for the time T2, and then the attention for immersion is executed for the time T3. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the OFF information is set, after entering the first waiting state after the end of the special game, the timing at which the time T1 and the time T2 have passed since the end of the first waiting state , a warning about immersion is started.

As shown in FIG. 11( a ), the animation effect is executed in the effect display device 25 . The animation effect is executed by displaying moving images (so-called moving images) on the effect display device 25 . The animation production may be, for example, production of production contents introducing a character serving as a motif of the pachinko gaming machine 10 or production of production contents explaining the production executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 . When the animation effect is being executed, the effect display device 25 displays a volume icon IC1, a luminance icon IC2 and an automatic function icon IC3. Various icons IC1 to IC3 will continue to be displayed on the effect display device 25 even after switching from the first standby state to the second standby state.

As shown in FIG. 11(b), the logo effect is executed in the effect display device 25. FIG. The logo effect may be, for example, an effect of displaying the logo mark of the company that manufactured the gaming machine, or an effect of displaying the motto of the company that manufactured the gaming machine. Various icons IC1 to IC3 are not displayed on the effect display device 25 when the logo effect is being executed. Therefore, when the animation effect ends and the logo effect starts, the effect display device 25 stops displaying the various icons IC1 to IC3.

As shown in FIG. 11(c), the effect display device 25 displays an alert image NT1 on the effect display device 25 to call attention to the immersion. The attention-calling image NT1 is an image including characters (character information) that read "Pachinko/pachislot are moderately enjoyable games." In this way, the effect display device 25 can call attention to immersion when in the standby state. Various icons IC1 to IC3 are not displayed on the effect display device 25 when attention is being drawn for immersion in the standby state. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second standby state ends, the first standby state is resumed. Therefore, when the call for attention regarding the immersion in the standby state ends and the first standby state is entered, the effect display device 25 resumes displaying the various icons IC1 to IC3.

When the OFF information is set, the decoration lamp 17 emits light in a light emission mode based on the standby effect pattern in the standby state. When the decoration lamp 17 emits light based on the effect pattern for standby, the decoration lamp 17 emits light for at least a part of the period.

Next, a predetermined standby effect when the ON information is set will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10(b), when the ON information is set, the second standby effect is executed in the effect display device 25 as a predetermined standby effect in the second standby state. The second standby effect includes an animation effect, a logo effect, an ON information notification effect, and a call for attention regarding immersion. In this way, the second standby effect executed when the ON information is set includes a call for attention regarding immersion. That is, in the present embodiment, regardless of which of the OFF information and the ON information is set, a part of the predetermined standby effect includes a call for attention regarding immersion. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the ON information is set, the animation performance is executed for the time T1, the logo performance is executed for the time T2, and then the ON information notification performance is executed for the time T4, and then the player becomes absorbed. is executed over time T5. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the ON information is set, after the special game ends and the first waiting state is entered, the time T1, the time T2, and the time T4 after the end of the first waiting state. At the elapsed timing, a call for attention regarding the immersion is started.

The time T3 during which attention is called for immersion in the second standby state when the OFF information is set is the time T5 during which the attention is called for immersion in the second standby state when the ON information is set. longer than In other words, when the OFF information is set, the time for which the alert regarding the immersion is executed in the second standby state is longer than when the ON information is set, and the strength of the alert regarding the immersion is longer. is high. That is, the time during which the attention regarding the immersion included in the predetermined standby performance is executed when the first information is set is the same as the attention regarding the immersion included in the predetermined standby performance when the second information is set. Since the alert is longer than the execution time, the intensity of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is high. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the OFF information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is higher than when the ON information is set. That is, when the first information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is higher than when the second information is set. As described above, in the present embodiment, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state differs between when the first information is set and when the second information is set.

By the way, the time T3 during which the alert regarding immersion is executed in the second standby state when the OFF information is set is the ON information notification effect and the attention regarding immersion in the second standby state when the ON information is set. It is the same as the sum of times (time T4+time T5) during which the arousal is performed. Therefore, in the second standby state, the time during which the first standby effect is executed (=time T1+time T2+time T3) is the same as the time during which the second standby effect is executed (=time T1+time T2+time T4+time T5). is. In the pachinko game machine 10, the first standby state and the second standby state are alternately repeated in the standby state. Therefore, in the standby state, the time during which attention is drawn to the immersion within the unit time is more when the OFF information for executing the first standby effect is set, and the ON for executing the second standby effect. Longer than when the information is set, the intensity of the attention to immersion is higher. That is, in the present embodiment, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is high due to the long period of time during which the attention regarding immersion is executed within the unit time in the standby state.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the ON information is set, animation effects are executed in the same manner as when the OFF information is set. Furthermore, various icons IC1 to IC3 are displayed on the effect display device 25 when the animation effect is being executed.

Furthermore, when the player is being alerted to the immersion in the standby state, the effect display device 25 does not display the various icons IC1 to IC3. Incidentally, when the ON information is set, similarly to when the OFF information is set, the pachinko game machine 10 enters the first standby state again after the second standby state is completed. Therefore, when the ON information is set, similar to when the OFF information is set, when the first standby state is entered after the call for attention regarding the immersion in the standby state is completed, the effect display device 25 displays various icons IC1. The display of ~IC3 is resumed.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the ON information is set, in the standby state, after the execution of the ON information notification effect is completed, the execution of calling attention to immersion is started. For this reason, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the ON information is set, in the standby state, when the ON information notification effect is being executed, the attention regarding immersion is not executed. Similarly, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the ON information is set, the ON information notification effect is not executed in the standby state when attention is being called for immersion. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second information is set, the effect of informing that the second information is set is not executed when attention is being called for immersion in the standby state, and the second information is set. When the effect of notifying that the 2 information is set is being executed, the call for attention regarding the immersion is not executed.

When the ON information is set, the decoration lamp 17 does not emit light and is turned off in the standby state. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the ON information is set and attention is being drawn for immersion in the standby state, the decoration lamp 17 does not emit light. That is, in the present embodiment, the light emitting means does not emit light when the second information is set and the attention about the immersion is being called in the standby state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the OFF information is set, the decoration lamp 17 emits light based on the standby effect pattern, and the decoration lamp 17 emits light during at least a part of the period. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the ON information is set, the decoration lamp 17 does not emit light. Then, when the OFF information is set, the time during which the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when the attention about the immersion is being executed in the standby state is the same as in the standby state when the ON information is set. It is longer than the period of time during which the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when the attention regarding the immersion is being executed. That is, when the second information is set, the light emitting means emits light per unit time when attention is being drawn in the standby state when the first information is set. is longer than the time during which the light-emitting means emits light per unit time when the alert regarding the immersion in is executed.

Next, control related to the standby state will be described.
When the standby command is input, the secondary CPU 51 performs control related to the first standby state. In the control relating to the first standby state, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the symbol combination of the effect symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed. The sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the symbol combination of the effect symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed over the time of the first standby state. Further, in the first standby state, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the volume icon IC1 having content based on the level of volume that can be specified from the volume information is displayed. Similarly, when in the first standby state, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the luminance icon IC2 whose content is based on the level of luminance that can be specified from the luminance information is displayed. Further, in the first standby state, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the automatic function icon IC3 having the content based on the automatic function information is displayed.

When the time for the first standby state has passed, the secondary CPU 51 performs control related to the second standby state. In the control relating to the second standby state, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the animation effect is executed over time T1. When the animation effect is being executed, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that various icons IC1 to IC3 are displayed continuously from the first standby state. Furthermore, after the time T1 has passed, the sub CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the logo effect is executed for the time T2. Along with executing the logo effect, the sub CPU 51 terminates the display of various icons IC1 to IC3.

After the time T2 elapses, when the OFF information is set, the sub CPU 51 controls the performance display device 25 so as to display the attention calling image NT1 over the time T3, and executes attention calling for the immersion. When the OFF information is set, the secondary CPU 51 again performs control related to the first standby state after the time T3 has elapsed.

On the other hand, after the time T2 has passed, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 so that the notification image HG is displayed over the time T4 when the ON information is set, and executes the ON information notification effect. . Then, after time T4 has passed, the secondary CPU 51 controls the effect display device 25 to display the attention calling image NT1 for a time T5, and executes attention calling for immersion. When the ON information is set, the secondary CPU 51 again performs control related to the first standby state after the time T5 has elapsed.

In the pachinko game machine 10, an alert regarding immersion is started from 4 seconds before the end of the ending period. For example, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a jackpot is won in the normal game state and the second jackpot game ends, the ending period of the second jackpot game starts when the state is newly controlled to the first high base state. After 16 seconds have elapsed, a warning regarding the immersion is executed for 4 seconds. In this way, when the jackpot is won in the normal game state and the state is newly controlled to the first high base state after the end of the second jackpot game, the second jackpot game has no relation to the immersion within the ending period of the second jackpot game. Alert is executed. That is, when a winning lottery is won in the normal game state, and after the winning game is finished, when the state is newly controlled to the specific game state, a warning regarding the immersion in the winning game is executed within a specific period. By doing so, it is configured such that a call for attention regarding immersion is executed along with the new control to the specific game state. That is, in the normal game state, when winning is won in the winning lottery and the first condition is established, and after the winning game is finished, when the state is newly controlled to the first advantageous game state, the specific in the winning game It is configured such that when the player is alerted to the addiction within the period, the player is newly controlled to the first advantageous gaming state, and the attention to the addiction is alerted. As described above, when a jackpot is won in the normal game state and the game is newly controlled to the first high base state after the jackpot game ends, the control is newly made to the first high base state. Along with this, a warning regarding the immersion is executed. That is, when a winning lottery is won in the normal game state and the winning game is controlled to a new specific game state after the end of the winning game, the new control to the specific game state is associated with the immersion. Alert is executed.

As shown in FIG. 15, when a warning about immersion is executed within the ending period, a warning image NT2 is displayed on the effect display device 25, and a warning about immersion is executed. The attention-calling image NT2 is an image containing characters (character information) that read "Pachinko/pachislot are moderately enjoyable games." Thus, the information included in the alert image NT2 is common to the information included in the alert image NT1. As described above, in the present embodiment, the display means can call attention to immersion.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when winning the jackpot is the normal game state, even when either OFF information or ON information is set, it is continued for 4 seconds within the ending period. A warning regarding the immersion is executed. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the normal game state, even when either the OFF information or the ON information is set, the player becomes absorbed in the ending period. The strength of the alert for is the same. Thus, in the present embodiment, the strength of the attention regarding the immersion when the attention regarding the immersion is executed along with the new control to the specific game state is set when the first information is set. is the same as the case where the second information is set.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the specific high-probability short-time state, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed in the ending period of the jackpot game. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when winning the big win is the specific high-probability short-time state, no matter what kind of the big win game the game is, no attention is given to the addiction within the ending period. For example, when a big win is won in a specific high-probability time-saving state, and after the second big-win game is over, the first high-base state is controlled again, attention should be paid to immersion within the ending period of the second big-win game. Awakening is not executed.

In this embodiment, both the specific high-probability short working hours state and the specific low-probable short working hours state are game states controlled to the first high base state, and any game state corresponds to the specific game state. Therefore, for example, a situation where a jackpot is won in a specific high-probability short-time state and a second big-hit game is awarded, and the situation controlled to a specific low-probability short-time state after the end of the second big-hit game is in a specific game state This corresponds to a situation in which a winning game is won and controlled to a specific game state again after the winning game is over. Similarly, for example, the situation where the jackpot is won in the specific low-probability short-time state and the first big-hit game is awarded, and the situation controlled to the specific high-probability short-time state after the end of the first jackpot game is in the specific game state This corresponds to a situation in which a winning game is won and controlled to a specific game state again after the winning game ends. That is, when the winning lottery is won in the specific game state and the game is controlled to the specific game state again after the winning game ends, attention is drawn to the immersion as a result of being controlled to the specific game state again. is not executed.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when winning the jackpot is the specific low-probability short-time state, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed in the ending period of the jackpot game. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when winning the jackpot is a specific low-probability short working time state, no matter what kind of jackpot game the jackpot game is, no attention is drawn to the player's immersion in the ending period. For example, if a big win is won in the specific low-probability short-time state and the second big-win game is ended, the first high-base state is controlled again, attention is paid to the immersion within the ending period of the second big-win game. Awakening is not executed. In other words, if a win is won in a winning lottery in a specific game state and the game is controlled to the specific game state again after the winning game is over, attention is drawn to immersion in the specific game state when the game is controlled to the specific game state again. is not executed.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when the big win is won is the special game state, attention is called for the immersion in the ending period of the big win game. At this time, in the pachinko game machine 10, attention is called for immersion for 4 seconds within the ending period. In the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the special game state, regardless of the type of the jackpot game, a call for attention regarding the immersion is executed for 4 seconds within the ending period. be. In the pachinko game machine 10, an alert regarding immersion is started from 4 seconds before the end of the ending period. For example, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a jackpot is won in the special game state and the second jackpot game ends, the ending period of the second jackpot game starts when the state is newly controlled to the first high base state. After 11 seconds have passed, a warning regarding the immersion is executed for 4 seconds. In this way, when the jackpot is won in the special game state and the state is newly controlled to the first high base state after the end of the second jackpot game, the second jackpot game has no relation to the immersion within the ending period of the second jackpot game. Alert is executed. That is, in the special game state, when winning is won in the winning lottery and the winning game is newly controlled to the specific game state after the end of the winning game, a warning regarding immersion in the winning game is executed within a specific period. By doing so, it is configured such that a call for attention regarding immersion is executed along with the new control to the specific game state. As described above, when a big win is won in the special game state and the game is newly controlled to the first high base state after the end of the big win game, it is newly controlled to the first high base state. Along with this, a warning regarding the immersion is executed. That is, when a winning lottery is won in the special game state and the special game state is newly controlled after the winning game is completed, the new control to the specific game state is related to the addiction. Alert is executed.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is the special game state, even when either OFF information or ON information is set, the game continues for 4 seconds within the ending period. A warning regarding the immersion is executed. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the special game state, even when either the OFF information or the ON information is set, the player becomes absorbed in the game during the ending period. The strength of the alert for is the same.

A warning regarding the immersion is executed.

As shown in FIG. 17(b), in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game during the normal game state (in FIG. 17(b), "chance symbol stop" is displayed). ), is controlled to the special game state, and is newly controlled to the second high base state. Along with this, the effect display device 25 executes a special rush effect. On the other hand, the effect display device 25 does not call attention to the immersion. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a special game is executed for a special number of times without winning a jackpot after being controlled to the special game state (in FIG. 17(b), "the number of games=the number of special times" is shown). , the special game state ends and is controlled to the normal game state. At this time, the effect display device 25 does not execute the result effect. Furthermore, the effect display device 25 does not call attention to the immersion. However, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a jackpot is won and a jackpot game is awarded in the special game state, the attention-calling image NT2 is displayed on the effect display device 25 within the ending period of the jackpot game. A warning regarding the immersion is executed.

The effects of this embodiment will be described below.
(1) When the OFF information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is higher than when the ON information is set. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, by operating the intensity adjustment switch 60, the upper button UB and the lower button DB, any one of a plurality of types of information including at least OFF information and ON information can be set. bottom. In other words, the strength of the warning regarding immersion in the standby state can be adjusted by operating the strength adjustment switch 60, the upper button UB, and the lower button DB to set either OFF information or ON information. As a result, for example, it is possible to adjust the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state according to the customer base, and effectively execute the alert regarding immersion.

(2) The strength of the call to attention regarding the immersion executed when the jackpot game is given is the same when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. Thus, depending on which of the OFF information and the ON information is set, although the strength of the alert regarding the immersion executed when the jackpot game is awarded does not change, the strength of the attention regarding the immersion in the standby state is not changed. changes. As a result, for example, when OFF information or ON information is set for the purpose of changing the strength of attention to addiction in the standby state, attention to addiction is executed in association with the awarding of the jackpot game. It is possible to suppress a change in intensity.

(3) The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be capable of executing an ON information notification effect for notifying that the ON information is set when the ON information is set. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it becomes possible to specify whether or not the ON information is set depending on whether or not the ON information notification effect is executed. Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, it can be grasped whether the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is lower than when the OFF information is set. Therefore, it is possible to consider whether or not to change the information to be set by operating the intensity adjustment switch 60, the upper button UB and the lower button DB, and as a result, it is possible to effectively call attention to immersion.

(4) In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the ON information is set, in the standby state, at the timing after the ON information notification effect is started, execution of calling attention to the immersion is started. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to grasp the relationship between the ON information notification effect and the call for attention regarding immersion, and as a result, it is possible to more effectively call attention regarding immersion. Furthermore, since the ON information notification effect is started before the execution of the call for attention regarding the immersion is started, the intensity adjustment switch 60, the upper button UB and the lower button DB are operated and set at an earlier timing. It becomes possible to consider whether the information should be changed.

(5) Calling attention to the immersion and the ON information notification effect are executed separately. As a result, attention can be drawn to the attention when the attention is called for the immersion, and attention can be made to the ON information notification performance when the ON information notification performance is being performed. In this way, attention is drawn to the addiction-related attention and the ON information notification effect separately, so that the addiction-related attention and the ON information notification effect can be executed more effectively.

(6) The light emission mode of the decoration lamp 17 when attention is being drawn for immersion in the standby state differs depending on which of the OFF information and the ON information is set. Therefore, even after setting either the OFF information or the ON information, it is possible to easily confirm which of the OFF information and the ON information has been set by confirming the light emission mode of the decoration lamp 17 . It becomes possible.

(7) When the OFF information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is higher than when the ON information is set. That is, in other words, when the ON information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state is lower than when the first information is set. When such ON information is set, the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when a warning regarding immersion is being executed in the standby state, compared to when OFF information is set. short time to do. In this way, even when the strength of the warning regarding the immersion is low, the period during which the decorative lamp 17 emits light per unit time is short, so that it is easy to draw attention to the warning regarding the immersion. Awaken can be executed.

(8) The strength of the call for attention regarding the immersion in the jackpot game is the same when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. As described above, depending on whether the OFF information or the ON information is set, although the intensity of the alert regarding immersion in the big win game does not change, the intensity of the attention regarding immersion in the standby state changes. As a result, for example, when OFF information or ON information is set for the purpose of changing the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state, it is possible to suppress a change in the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the big win game. Further, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp 17 when attention is being drawn for the immersion in the jackpot game is the same between when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the player from being puzzled by the different light emitting modes of the decorative lamps 17 even though the strength of the call for attention regarding immersion in the jackpot game does not change.

(9) Regardless of whether the OFF information or the ON information is set, a predetermined standby effect is executed to call attention to immersion. The intensity of alerting for immersion is different. As a result, even when the OFF information or the ON information is set, the predetermined standby effect is executed, and the strength of the alert regarding the immersion is adjusted depending on the length of time during which the attention regarding the immersion is executed. , it is possible to effectively call attention to immersion.

(10) When the OFF information is set, compared to the case where the ON information is set, after the special game ends and the standby state starts, execution of the call for attention regarding immersion starts in the standby state. It takes less time. In other words, when the OFF information is set, execution of alerting regarding immersion is started at an earlier timing than when the ON information is set. As a result, when the OFF information is set, the strength of the alert regarding the immersion is higher than when the ON information is set, and the execution of the alert regarding the immersion is started at an earlier timing. , it is possible to effectively call attention to immersion.

(11) The intensity of the call for attention regarding immersion executed when the special game is executed is the same when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. In this way, depending on whether the OFF information or the ON information is set, although the strength of the alert regarding immersion that is executed when the special game is executed does not change, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state. changes. As a result, for example, when OFF information or ON information is set for the purpose of changing the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state, attention regarding immersion is executed in association with execution of the special game. It is possible to suppress a change in intensity.

(12) When the first high-base state (specific high-probability short-time state, specific low-probability short-time state) is won and the jackpot game is awarded, the first high-base state again after the end of the jackpot game. If it is controlled, the alert regarding the immersion is not executed as a result of being controlled to the first high base state again. This can reduce the discomfort caused by the execution of repeated alerts regarding the immersion.

However, if it is configured so that the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even if the game state is more advantageous than the normal game state, there is a possibility that the attention regarding the immersion will not be executed even once. For example, when it is configured so as not to call attention to immersion when it is controlled to the second high base state such as the special game state and the special game state, the second high base state is not provided without the jackpot game. As a result of such control, it is conceivable that even once, a warning regarding the immersion will not be executed. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the jackpot game is won and the jackpot game is given in the second high base state (special game state, special game state), the first high base is newly set after the jackpot game ends. In the case of being controlled to the state, a new control to the first high base state is executed to call attention to the immersion. As a result, even when a big win is won after being controlled to the second high base state without giving a big win game, and even when being controlled to the first high base state after that, the first high base state is controlled. A call for attention regarding the immersion is executed in accordance with the control to the base state. As a result, it is possible to suppress the fact that even once the player wins the jackpot, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even once.

(13) Even if it is controlled to the second high base state, it does not mean that the jackpot has been won. Therefore, for example, even though the big win game is not given, the attention of the immersion is executed, and there is a possibility that the player may be misunderstood that the big win game is awarded by the execution of the attention of the immersion. Therefore, when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times and the state is newly controlled to the second high-based state, the immersion related to the control to the second high-based state is performed. Prevented the alert from being executed. Similarly, when the second high base state is newly controlled due to the chance symbol being determined and stopped displayed in the special game during the normal game state, the second high base state is controlled. It was made so that the alert about immersion is not executed. As a result, misleading the player can be suppressed.

(14) When the controlled second high-base state ends even if a big win is not won, the second high-base state ends without ever winning a big win in the big win lottery. In such a case, if a warning regarding immersion is executed, the player may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when the second high-based state ends without winning a big win in the jackpot lottery in the second high-based state, a warning regarding the immersion is issued along with the end of the second high-based state. prevented it from running. As a result, when the second high base state ends without winning the jackpot despite being controlled to the second high base state, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling discomfort due to the execution of the attention arousal regarding the immersion. can.

(15) In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a warning regarding immersion is executed within the ending period of the jackpot game. In the ending period of the big win game when the big win is won and the big win game is given in the normal game state, the big win is won and the big win game is given in the first high base state. It is longer than the ending period in the relevant jackpot game at that time. As a result, when a jackpot is won from the normal game state and the state is controlled to the first high base state, it is possible to more effectively call attention to the immersion. Also, when winning a jackpot while in the first high base state, it can be said that it is a so-called situation of being in a row. In such a situation, if the ending period during which a warning regarding addiction is issued is lengthened, the period during which the special game cannot be executed is extended by that amount of time. There is a risk of giving However, the discomfort can be reduced by shortening the ending period.

(16) In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a warning regarding immersion is executed within the ending period of the jackpot game. In the ending period of the jackpot game awarded by winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the first start port 26, the advantage regarding the entry of the game ball in the first high base state is increased. It is longer than the ending period of the big win game awarded by winning the big win in the big win lottery triggered by the entry of the ball into the high second start hole 27.例文帳に追加Thus, in the first high base state, a big win is won in the big win lottery triggered by the ball entering the first starting port 26 instead of the second starting port 27, which is easier to enter than in the normal game state, and the first high base is won. When the state is controlled, it is possible to more effectively call attention to the immersion. Also, when winning a big win in a big win lottery triggered by the ball entering the second starting hole 27, which is easier to enter than in the normal game state in the first high base state, is so-called continuous play. Situation and assumed. In such a situation, if the ending period during which a warning regarding addiction is issued is lengthened, the period during which the special game cannot be executed is extended by that amount of time. There is a risk of giving However, the discomfort can be reduced by shortening the ending period.

(17) When the controlled second high-base state ends even if the big win is not won, the second high-base state ends without ever winning the big win in the big win lottery. If the result effect is executed at such a time, the player may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when the second high base state is ended without winning the big win in the big win lottery after being controlled to the second high base state, the result performance is not executed. As a result, when the second high base state ends without winning a jackpot despite being controlled to the second high base state, it is possible to suppress the feeling of displeasure caused by the execution of the result presentation.

On the other hand, when the first high base state ends without winning the big win in the big win lottery after being controlled to the first high base state, it means that the big win has been won at least once. For this reason, even if the first high base state ends without winning a big win in the big win lottery after being controlled to the first high base state, the result presentation may be executed. Thus, it is possible to improve interest by executing the result presentation.

(18) When the first high-base state (specific high-probability short-time state, specific low-probability short-time state) is won and the jackpot game is awarded, the first high-base state again after the end of the jackpot game If it is controlled, the alert regarding the immersion is not executed as a result of being controlled to the first high base state again. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the discomfort caused by the execution of repeated attention calls regarding immersion. However, if it is configured so that the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even if the game state is more advantageous than the normal game state, there is a possibility that the attention regarding the immersion will not be executed even once. For example, the special game state can be controlled when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches a specified number of times even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery. Therefore, it is conceivable that as a result of controlling to the special game state without giving the jackpot game, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even once. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the jackpot game is won and the jackpot game is awarded in the special game state, and the jackpot game is finished, the control is newly performed to the first high base state. A call for attention regarding immersion is executed in association with being controlled to the first high base state. Therefore, even when the big win is won after being controlled to the special game state without giving the big win game, and even when the control is made to the first high base state after that, the first high base state is established. A call for attention regarding the immersion is executed along with being controlled to . As a result, it is possible to suppress the fact that even once the player wins the jackpot, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even once.

(19) Even if the game is controlled to the special game state, it does not mean that the jackpot has been won, but simply that the number of executions of the special game within the predetermined period has reached the predetermined number. For this reason, for example, there is a possibility that a player may be misled into believing that a jackpot game will be awarded by executing a call for attention regarding immersion even though a jackpot game will not be awarded. When the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times and the game is newly controlled to the special game state, a warning regarding immersion is not executed as a result of being controlled to the special game state. bottom. As a result, misleading the player can be suppressed.

(20) When the special game state to be controlled ends even if the big win is not won, the special game state may end without winning the big win in the big win lottery even once. In such a case, if a warning regarding immersion is executed, the player may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when the special game state ends without winning a big win in the big win lottery in the special game state, the call for attention to the addiction is not executed accompanying the end of the special game state. Thus, when the special game state ends without winning a big win despite being controlled to the special game state, it is possible to suppress giving a feeling of discomfort due to the execution of calling attention to the immersion.

(21) When the special game state to be controlled ends even if no big win is won, the special game state may end without ever winning a big win. In such a case, when the attention calling and the result presentation regarding the immersion are executed, there is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable. For this reason, when the special game state ends without winning the big win in the special game state, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed with the end of the special game state, and in addition, the result effect is produced. was prevented from running. As a result, when the special game state ends without winning the jackpot despite being controlled to the special game state, it is possible to suppress the feeling of displeasure due to the execution of the attention calling and the result presentation regarding the addiction. . On the other hand, when the first high base state ends without winning a big win after being controlled to the first high base state, it means that a big win is won at least once and a big win game is provided. Therefore, even if the first high-base state is terminated without winning the big win after being controlled to the first high-base state, the result production may be executed so that the result can be obtained. It is possible to improve interest by executing the production.

(22) In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a call for attention regarding immersion is executed within the ending period of the jackpot game. The ending period of the big win game given by winning the big win in the big win lottery in the normal game state is the ending period of the big win game given by winning the big win in the big win lottery in the special game state. longer than As a result, when a jackpot is won from the normal game state and the state is controlled to the first high base state, it is possible to more effectively call attention to the immersion. Further, when the jackpot is won in the special game state, it can be said that the game state is already controlled to an advantageous game state as compared with the normal game state. In such a situation, if the ending period during which attention is called for addiction is lengthened, there is a risk that the pleasure of being controlled to a game state that is more advantageous than the normal game state will decrease, and attention regarding addiction will be made. There is a possibility that it will become difficult to improve interest by executing the arousal. However, by shortening the ending period, it is possible to suppress the reduction in the joy of being controlled to a game state that is more advantageous than the normal game state.

(23) When the first high-base state (specific high-probability short-time state, specific low-probability short-time state) is won and the jackpot game is awarded, the first high-base state is restored after the end of the jackpot game. If it is controlled, the alert regarding the immersion is not executed as a result of being controlled to the first high base state again. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the discomfort caused by the execution of repeated attention calls regarding immersion. However, if it is configured so that the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even if the game state is more advantageous than the normal game state, there is a possibility that the attention regarding the immersion will not be executed even once. For example, the special game state can be controlled after the chance symbols are fixed and stopped in the special game even if the big win is not won in the big win lottery. For this reason, as a result of being controlled to a special game state without giving a big hit game, it is conceivable that a call for attention regarding immersion is not executed even once. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the jackpot game is won in the special game state and the jackpot game is awarded, and after the jackpot game is finished, the state is newly controlled to the first high base state. A call for attention regarding immersion is executed in association with being controlled to the first high base state. Therefore, even when the big win is won after being controlled to the special game state without giving the big win game, and even when the control is made to the first high base state after that, the first high base state is established. A call for attention regarding the immersion is executed along with being controlled to . As a result, it is possible to suppress the fact that even once the player wins the jackpot, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed even once.

(24) Even if the game is controlled to the special game state, it does not mean that a big win has been won, but that the chance symbols are simply fixed and stopped in the special game. For this reason, for example, there is a possibility that a player may be misled into believing that a jackpot game will be awarded by executing a call for attention regarding immersion even though a jackpot game will not be awarded. Therefore, when the special game is newly controlled to the special game state by the fixed stop display of the chance symbols in the special game, it is arranged not to call attention to the immersion due to the control to the special game state. . As a result, misleading the player can be suppressed.

(25) When the special game state to be controlled ends even if no big win is won, the special game state may end without ever winning a big win in the big win lottery. In such a case, if a warning regarding immersion is executed, the player may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when the special game state ends without winning a big win in the big win lottery in the special game state, the call of attention to the addiction is not executed accompanying the end of the special game state. Thus, when the special game state ends without winning a jackpot despite being controlled to the special game state, it is possible to suppress the feeling of displeasure caused by the execution of calling attention to the immersion.

(26) When the special game state to be controlled ends even if no big win is won, the special game state may end without ever winning the big win. In such a case, when the attention calling and the result presentation regarding the immersion are executed, there is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when the special game state ends without winning the jackpot in the special game state, the attention regarding the immersion is not executed as the special game state ends, and in addition, the result effect is produced. was prevented from running. As a result, when the special game state ends without winning the jackpot despite being controlled to the special game state, it is possible to suppress the feeling of displeasure due to the execution of the attention calling and the result presentation regarding the addiction. . On the other hand, when the first high base state ends without winning a big win after being controlled to the first high base state, it means that a big win is won at least once and a big win game is provided. Therefore, even if the first high-base state ends without winning the big win after being controlled to the first high-base state, the result performance may be executed, thereby reducing the result. It is possible to improve interest by executing the production.

(27) In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a call for attention regarding immersion is executed within the ending period of the jackpot game. The ending period of the big win game given by winning the big win in the big win lottery in the normal game state is the ending period of the big win game given by winning the big win in the big win lottery in the special game state. longer than As a result, when a jackpot is won from the normal game state and the state is controlled to the first high base state, it is possible to more effectively call attention to the immersion. Further, when the jackpot is won in the special game state, it can be said that the game state is already controlled to an advantageous game state as compared with the normal game state. In such a situation, if the ending period during which attention is called for addiction is lengthened, there is a risk that the pleasure of being controlled to a game state that is more advantageous than the normal game state will decrease, and attention regarding addiction will be made. There is a possibility that it will become difficult to improve interest by executing the arousal. However, by shortening the ending period, it is possible to suppress the reduction in the joy of being controlled to a game state that is more advantageous than the normal game state.

(28) The strength of the alert regarding the immersion when the attention regarding the immersion is executed in accordance with the new control to the first high base state is set when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. Same as when set. In this way, depending on whether the OFF information or the ON information is set, the strength of the alert regarding the immersion when the attention regarding the immersion is executed in accordance with the new control to the first high base state is Although it does not change, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state changes. As a result, for example, when the OFF information or ON information is set for the purpose of changing the strength of the warning regarding immersion in the standby state, the attention regarding immersion is given along with the new control to the first high base state. It is possible to suppress a change in the strength of the alert regarding the immersion when the alert is executed.

(29) In principle, the pachinko gaming machine 10 enters the intensity adjustment state when the intensity adjustment switch 60 is turned on regardless of whether the special game is being executed. Furthermore, in the pachinko game machine 10, in principle, regardless of whether or not the jackpot game is being played, if the intensity adjustment switch 60 is turned on, the intensity adjustment state is entered. Therefore, regardless of the timing when it is desired to adjust the strength of the alert regarding the immersion, the strength of the alert regarding the immersion can be adjusted. In this way, by increasing the degree of freedom related to the adjustment of the strength of the alert regarding addiction, the strength of the alert regarding addiction can be easily adjusted, and the awareness of the attention regarding immersion can be effectively increased.

The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.
- The strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state may be the same when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. For example, when the OFF information is set, the time during which a warning regarding immersion is executed in the standby state per unit time, and when the ON information is set, the time during which the warning regarding immersion in the standby state is executed per unit time. may be the same. When the ON information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion in the standby state may be higher than when the OFF information is set. For example, when the ON information is set, the time during which a warning regarding immersion in the standby state is executed per unit time is equal to the time during which the warning regarding immersion in the standby state is executed per unit time when the OFF information is set. It may be longer than the execution time.

・By changing the characters (character information) included in the image (for example, the alert image NT1) displayed on the effect display device 25 when executing the alert regarding the immersion, the strength of the alert regarding the immersion is changed ( higher or lower). For example, when OFF information is set, characters (character information) included in an image displayed in order to call attention to immersion in the standby state are assumed to be characters (sentences) of command tone. On the other hand, for example, characters (character information) included in an image displayed when calling attention to the immersion in the standby state when the ON information is set may be characters (sentences) in a pleading tone. Here, the ``characters with a command tone'' may be characters such as ``Do not play unless you can enjoy it moderately.'' In other words, it can be said that "characters with commanding tone" are sentences with high-pressure expressions. On the other hand, the "words in a pleasing tone" here may be letters such as "Enjoy moderately" or "Please be careful if you are absorbed in the game." In other words, it can be said that the "characters with a pleading tone" are sentences in which a gentle expression is made. In other words, the strength of the alert regarding immersion is not limited to that determined by the time at which the attention regarding immersion is executed. Therefore, when the strength of the immersion-related attention is changed by changing the characters (character information) included in the image displayed on the effect display device 25 in executing the immersion-related attention-calling, the immersion-related attention-calling is executed. Even if the time is the same, it is possible to vary the strength of the alert regarding the immersion.

- Depending on whether or not a warning regarding immersion is executed, the strength of the warning regarding immersion can be changed. For example, when a warning regarding addiction is executed, it can be considered that the strength of the warning regarding addiction is higher than when the warning regarding addiction is not executed. For example, when the OFF information is set, the attention about the immersion is called in the standby state, while when the ON information is set, the attention about the immersion in the standby state may not be called.

- When the OFF information is set, an effect (for example, an OFF information notification effect) for notifying that the OFF information is set may be executable. For example, even if the OFF information notification effect can be executed, when the OFF information is set, the strength of the alert regarding immersion is higher than when the ON information is set. It is also possible to configure For example, in one predetermined standby effect, the time during which the OFF information notification effect is executed when the OFF information is set is longer than the time during which the ON information notification effect is executed when the ON information is set. may also be shortened, and the time during which attention is called for addiction may be lengthened, so that the intensity of attention for addiction is increased. Note that the OFF information notification effect corresponds to an effect for notifying that the first information is set when the first information is set. As described above, when the first information is set, the display means may be capable of executing an effect to notify that the first information is set. Further, both the OFF information notification effect and the ON information notification effect may be executed, or only one of the OFF information notification effect and the ON information notification effect may be executed. Also, it is not necessary to execute both the OFF information notification effect and the ON information notification effect.

- When the ON information is set, the ON information notification effect may be continuously executed in the standby state. For example, the ON information notification effect may be configured to be executed over a period from the start of the standby state to the end of the standby state. In addition, in either one of the first standby state and the second standby state, the ON information notification effect may be continuously executed. For example, the ON information notification effect may be configured to be executed over a period from the start of the second standby state to the end of the second standby state.

・When the ON information is set, in the standby state, after the execution of the ON information notification effect is started and before the execution of the ON information notification effect is completed, the user is alerted to the immersion. may be configured to start execution of It may be configured such that execution of the ON information notification effect is started at a timing after the execution of the call for attention regarding the immersion is started. At this time, the execution of the ON information notification effect may be started at a timing after the execution of the attention call regarding the immersion ends, or after the execution of the attention call regarding the immersion starts. It may be configured such that execution of the ON information notification effect is started at a timing before the execution of the attention calling for is completed. In addition, the timing at which the execution of the ON information notification effect is started may be the same as the timing at which the execution of the attention call regarding immersion is started.

- If the ON information is set, in the standby state, when the ON information notification effect is being executed, there may be a case where a warning regarding immersion is executed. Similarly, when the ON information is set, in the standby state, the ON information notification effect may be executed while the attention is being called for the immersion. That is, it may be configured such that the ON information notification effect and the alert regarding the immersion are executed in parallel. For example, when the ON information notification effect and the alert regarding immersion are executed in parallel, the alert image NT1 and the notification image HG may be displayed in areas that do not overlap each other. For example, when the alert image NT1 and the alert image HG are displayed in areas that do not overlap each other, the ON information alert effect is executed in addition to the alert regarding the immersion. As a result, when the ON information is set, the degree of attention to the attention to the immersion is not small compared to the case where the attention calling image NT1 is displayed alone as when the OFF information is set. can be expected to decline. As a result, it can be said that the strength of the alert regarding immersion is low. Alternatively, one of the alert image NT1 and the notification image HG may be displayed so as to be superimposed on the other image. For example, when the notification image HG is displayed superimposed on the alert image NT1, the alert image NT1 is displayed when the OFF information is set. The visibility of the image NT1 is degraded. As a result, it can be said that the strength of the alert regarding immersion is low. As described above, when the ON information notification effect and the immersion-related attention are executed in parallel, the configuration is such that the immersion-related attention is executed at the timing after the execution of the ON information notification effect starts. may In addition, the timing at which the execution of the ON information notification effect is started may be the same as the timing at which the execution of the attention call regarding immersion is started. Further, the execution of the ON information notification effect may be started at the timing after the execution of the call for attention regarding the immersion is started. When the ON information notification effect and the call for attention regarding immersion are executed in parallel, the effect display device 25 may display the notification image HG and the attention call image NT1 so as not to overlap each other. Also, the font size of the characters included in the notification image HG and the font size of the characters included in the alert image NT1 may be the same. Also, the font size of the characters included in the notification image HG may be larger than the font size of the characters included in the alert image NT1. Also, the opposite may be true. Incidentally, the font size of the characters included in the alert image NT1 and the font size of the characters included in the alert image NT2 may be the same. Also, the font size of the characters included in the alert image NT1 may be larger than the font size of the characters included in the alert image NT2. Also, the opposite may be true.

- In the second standby effect, the ON information notification effect may be executed after the execution of a call for attention regarding the immersion. In other words, when the second standby effect is executed, after the logo effect is finished, the player may be alerted to the immersion. In this case, regardless of whether the OFF information or the ON information is set, after the special game is finished and the waiting state is entered, the execution of the call for attention regarding the immersion is started in the waiting state. The time until it is done will be the same. In addition, when the ON information is set, execution of calling attention to immersion is started in the standby state after the special game is finished, compared to when the OFF information is set. It may be configured so as to shorten the time until.

The light emission mode of the decoration lamp 17 when attention is being drawn for immersion in the standby state may be the same between when the OFF information is set and when the ON information is set. . For example, the decoration lamp 17 may be configured not to emit light in the standby state, regardless of whether the OFF information or the ON information is set. In addition, when the OFF information is set, the time during which the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when the attention about the immersion is being executed in the standby state is It may be the same as the period of time during which the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when the attention regarding the immersion is being executed. In addition, when the ON information is set, the time during which the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when the attention to the immersion is being executed in the standby state is It may be longer than the period of time during which the decoration lamp 17 emits light per unit time when the attention about the immersion is being executed.

The brightness of the decoration lamp 17 when the attention is called for immersion in the standby state when the OFF information is set, and the attention is called for the immersion in the standby state when the ON information is set. The brightness of the decorative lamp 17 when the lamp is on may be different. For example, when the ON information is set, the brightness of the decoration lamp 17 when the attention about the immersion is executed in the standby state is changed to the brightness of the decoration lamp 17 when the OFF information is set. It may be lower than the brightness of the decorative lamp 17 when it is turned on. By lowering the luminance in this way, it is possible to contribute to energy saving.

- The predetermined standby effect may be configured to be executed only when either one of the OFF information and the ON information is set. For example, when the ON information is set, a predetermined standby effect is executed, but when the OFF information is set, the predetermined standby effect may not be executed. At this time, for example, when the OFF information is set and the second standby state is established, the effect display device 25 may continue to display the attention calling image NT1. Further, at this time, the predetermined standby effect executed when the ON information is set may be either the first standby effect or the second standby effect referred to in the above embodiment. Even in the case of the configuration as exemplified here, when the OFF information is set, the time during which the alert regarding immersion is executed in the standby state is longer than when the ON information is set. It is possible to increase the strength of the long attention call regarding immersion. It should be noted that the predetermined standby effect may not be executed regardless of whether the OFF information or the ON information is set.

- When the special game is controlled to the special game state when the number of executions of the special game within a predetermined period reaches the specified number of times, it may be constructed such that a warning regarding addiction is executed. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured to call attention to immersion when being controlled to the special game state. At this time, for example, when the special rush effect is being executed, it may be configured to call attention to the immersion. Further, it may be configured such that the attention regarding the immersion is executed at a timing before the special rush effect is started. Further, it may be configured such that the attention regarding the immersion is executed at the timing after the special rush effect ends. In addition, after being controlled to the special game state, it may be constructed such that, following the execution of the special game, a warning regarding addiction is executed. Further, it may be configured such that a warning regarding addiction is executed in accordance with the execution of the special game for the specified number of times within a predetermined period. In order to call attention to immersion, either one of the attention-calling image NT1 and the attention-calling image NT2 may be displayed, or an image different from the attention-calling images NT1 and NT2 may be displayed. While calling attention to immersion in accordance with being controlled to the special game state, when being controlled to the special game state triggered by the fixed stop display of the chance symbols in the special game, attention to immersion is called. may be configured so that it is not executed. The number of special times may be greater than the maximum number of times (100 times in the above embodiment) of the special game controlled to the specific low-probability short working hours state. Also, the special number of times may be a number of times greater than the value of the denominator when the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is represented by a unit fraction. Then, when the special game state is controlled, the probability of winning the big win may be extremely high before the special game state ends. The time when the probability of winning the jackpot is extremely high before the special game state ends may be when the probability exceeds 80%. In the case of such a configuration, it is assumed that it is configured such that attention regarding immersion is executed as a result of being controlled to the special game state. In this case, even if the special game state is rarely ended without a big win, the number of times the special game has been executed within the predetermined period has reached the predetermined number by executing a warning regarding the addiction. It is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment. In particular, when the probability of winning the jackpot in the special game state after being controlled to the special game state is overwhelmingly higher than the probability of winning the jackpot in the special game state after being controlled to the special game state, It is possible to heighten the sense of superiority for the execution of attention arousal regarding immersion in accordance with being controlled to the special game state.

In the case of calling attention to immersion in accordance with being controlled to a special game state, when a big win is won in the special game state and a big win game is awarded, attention to immersion in the big win game is executed. It may be configured not to Even in the case where attention to the immersion is executed as a result of being controlled in the special game state, as in the above-described embodiment, when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is awarded in the special game state. , it may be constructed such that a call for attention regarding immersion in the jackpot game is executed. Further, in the case of executing a warning regarding immersion in accordance with control to the special game state, the strength of the attention regarding immersion is the same regardless of which of the OFF information and the ON information is set. There may be. Further, in the case of calling attention to immersion in accordance with control to the special game state, the strength of the attention to immersion may be varied depending on which of the OFF information and ON information is set. For example, when the OFF information is set, compared to when the ON information is set, the intensity of the call to attention regarding the immersion executed in accordance with the control to the special game state is higher. may be configured. For example, when the ON information is set, compared to when the OFF information is set, the strength of the call to attention regarding the immersion executed in accordance with the control to the special game state is higher. may be configured.

・If the special game state ends without winning the jackpot after being controlled to the special game state, it may be configured to call attention to immersion in accordance with the end of the special game state. good. At this time, after the special game state ends, it may be constructed such that a warning regarding addiction is executed along with the execution of the special game. In order to call attention to immersion, either one of the attention-calling image NT1 and the attention-calling image NT2 may be displayed, or an image different from the attention-calling images NT1 and NT2 may be displayed. At this time, the strength of the alert regarding the immersion may be the same regardless of which of the OFF information and the ON information is set. In addition, depending on which one of the OFF information and the ON information is set, the intensity of the alert regarding the immersion may be varied. For example, when the OFF information is set, compared to when the ON information is set, the intensity of the call to attention regarding immersion executed upon completion of the special game state is set to be higher. good too. For example, when the ON information is set, compared to when the OFF information is set, the intensity of the call to attention regarding immersion executed upon completion of the special game state is set to be higher. good too. As described above, when the special game state ends without winning the jackpot after being controlled to the special game state, at least one of the attention call and the result effect regarding the immersion is generated along with the end of the special game state. Either one may be configured to be executable.

- It may be configured such that when only the attention about immersion is being executed in the effect display device 25, another attention than the attention about immersion is executed. When another attention is called in parallel with the attention for addiction, the player's attention to the attention for the attention is dispersed, and the frequency of recognizing that the attention for addiction is being executed decreases. Conceivable. Therefore, when only the attention about immersion is executed as the attention, the attention about the immersion is executed more than the case where the attention about the immersion is executed as the attention, in addition to the other attention. Therefore, it can be considered that the strength of the alert regarding addiction is high. Further, in the case where another alert is executed in parallel with the alert regarding immersion, if the number of alerts to be performed in parallel is the first number, the number of alerts to be performed in parallel As compared with the case where the number is the second number, which is larger than the first number, it can be considered that the strength of the alert regarding the immersion is high. Further, when another attention is to be called in addition to the attention to the addiction, the effect display device 25 may superimpose the other attention on a part or all of the image displayed when executing the attention to the immersion. It may be configured such that an image to be displayed upon execution is displayed. For example, when executing another warning in addition to a warning about immersion, the image displayed when executing another warning is displayed from the layer that displays the image displayed when executing the warning about immersion may also be displayed in a higher layer. Similarly, when another attention is to be called in addition to the attention about addiction, the effect display device 25 superimposes a part or all of the image displayed when executing another attention to call attention about addiction. may be configured so that an image displayed when executing is displayed. For example, when executing another warning in addition to a warning regarding addiction, the image displayed when executing the warning regarding addiction is displayed from the layer that displays the image displayed when executing another warning. may also be displayed in a higher layer. As described above, it is possible to reduce the strength of the attention-calling regarding the immersion by executing the attention-calling regarding the immersion and another attention-calling in parallel.

Similarly, even when another effect is executed in parallel with the call for attention regarding addiction, it is conceivable that the attention of the player is dispersed and the frequency of recognizing that the attention for addiction is being executed decreases. be done. Therefore, in the case where only the attention about the immersion is executed in the effect display device 25, the attention about the immersion is more likely to be generated than in the case where the effect display device 25 executes another effect in addition to the attention about the immersion. It is easy to recognize that the is being executed, and it can be considered that the strength of the alert regarding immersion is high. Further, in the case where another effect is executed in parallel with the call for attention regarding immersion, if the number of effects to be executed in parallel is the first number, the number of effects to be executed in parallel is the first number. It can be considered that the strength of the alert regarding the immersion is higher than when the second number is greater than one. In addition, when executing another effect in parallel with calling attention to immersion, the effect display device 25 executes another effect superimposed on part or all of the image displayed when executing the attention to immersion. It may be configured such that an image displayed when the operation is performed is displayed. For example, when executing another effect in parallel with calling attention to immersion, the image displayed when executing the different effect is higher than the layer that displays the image displayed when executing the attention about immersion. It may be displayed in a higher layer. Similarly, when another effect is executed in parallel with calling attention to immersion, the effect display device 25 displays a part or all of the image displayed when executing another effect to call attention to immersion. It may be configured such that an image to be displayed upon execution is displayed. For example, when another effect is executed in parallel with a call for attention regarding immersion, the image displayed when executing the call for attention regarding immersion is higher than the layer that displays the image displayed when executing another effect. It may be displayed in a higher layer. Note that the other effect referred to here may be, for example, an ON information notification effect, or an effect of displaying some or all of the various icons IC1 to IC3. Further, another effect may be a part or all of the selection mode notification effect, the number of games notification effect, and the selected language notification effect. As described above, it is possible to lower the strength of the attention-calling regarding the addiction by simultaneously executing the attention-calling regarding the addiction and another effect.

When another image is displayed over a part or all of the displayed image to call attention to immersion, the other image may be displayed in the following manner. It should be noted that the different image referred to here is an image that is displayed when executing the above-mentioned different effect or an image that is displayed when executing another attention call. For example, another image is displayed so as to have transparency so that a portion of the displayed image that overlaps with the other image is recognizably transmitted when executing the alert regarding the immersion displayed on the back side. may For example, another image may be displayed semi-transparent. Further, another image may be displayed without transparency, and a part or all of the displayed image may be displayed invisibly in order to call attention to the immersion displayed on the back side.

- The size of the image displayed on the effect display device 25 may be changed when executing a call for attention regarding immersion. When the size of the image to be displayed is increased to call attention to immersion, the degree of attention to the image is high, and it becomes easier to recognize that the attention to immersion is being executed. For example, if the size of the alert image NT1 displayed when the OFF information is set is made larger than the size of the alert image NT1 displayed when the ON information is set, the OFF information is It can be understood that the strength of the alert regarding immersion is higher when the ON information is set than when the ON information is set. In this way, when the image displayed in executing the attention about the immersion is displayed in the first size, the image displayed in executing the attention about the immersion is smaller than the first size. It can be considered that the strength of the alert regarding immersion is higher than in the case of displaying in the second size. As described above, it is possible to change (increase or lower) the strength of the attention regarding the immersion by changing the size of the displayed image when executing the attention regarding the immersion.

- The strength of the alert regarding immersion can be regarded as the frequency with which the attention regarding immersion is executed. For example, when the strength of the alert regarding addiction is high, it can be understood that the frequency with which the alert regarding addiction is executed is high. Similarly, when the strength of the alert regarding addiction is low, it can be understood that the frequency of alert regarding addiction is low.
