Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”) which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko machine 10 is schematically shown, and a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is opened and closed on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body. And is detachably assembled. On the front side of the middle frame 12, a front frame 14 having a glass frame on which a protective glass for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine is mounted and an upper ball tray 15 are opened and closed in a laterally open state. It is assembled as possible. In addition, the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13a of the game board 13 are used as a light emitting device (effect execution means) that performs a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.) The decorative lamp 16 is provided. In addition, a speaker 17 is disposed below the outer frame 11 as sound output means (effect execution means) that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect based on the sound output. A lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13.

  A special-purpose display H1 as a 7-segment display device is disposed at the lower right of the game area 13a of the game board 13. In addition, the center accessory 20 disposed approximately at the center of the game area 13a of the game board 13 includes a variable display H2 as a liquid crystal display type display device (production execution means). As shown in FIG. 2, the variable display H <b> 2 is provided in the center of the center accessory 20. The special symbol display H1 executes a symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the special symbol display H1 displays a special symbol by varying a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “special symbols”) in one row. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. On the other hand, in the display effect related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display a decorative drawing for each column. This decorative drawing is an effect design used for diversifying display effects.

  On the special symbol display H1, the symbol variation display is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration diagram are confirmed and stopped at the same time).

  In this embodiment, one special figure corresponding to the lottery results of the big hit lottery and the small lottery lottery is selected from the multiple types (106 types in the present embodiment) of special figures for the special figure display H1. The selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the symbol variation game. The 106 types of special symbols are 100 types of big hit symbols (corresponding to the big hit display result) that can recognize the big hit, and five types of small hit symbols (small hit display results) that can be used to recognize the big hit. )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [ 9] is displayed as a decorative drawing. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 has a larger display area than the special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special figure. . For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all columns stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the big hit can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (hit symbol) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [757] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this detachment becomes a detachable symbol combination (decoration symbol) by the decorative drawing. In addition, a predetermined symbol combination ([191] [212] [323] [434] [545] [656] [767] [878] [989] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the symbol combinations out of place. In this case, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is awarded. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorations in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative illustrations are temporarily stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are once stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are temporarily displayed in the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) ) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is variably displayed. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column for temporarily displaying the decorative drawing is the first stop display column, and then the right column for temporarily stopping the decorative drawing is displayed. Becomes the second stop display column, and finally, the middle column that temporarily displays the decorative drawing is the third stop display column.

  The variable display H2 displays a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special figure display H1. More specifically, the symbol combination of the special symbol display H1 and the symbol combination of the variable display H2 correspond to each other. When the symbol variation game ends, the symbol combination of the special symbol and the symbol combination of the decorative symbol are combined. Correspondingly, a fixed stop is displayed. For example, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display H1, the big hit symbol combinations such as [222] and [444] are also fixedly stopped and displayed on the variable indicator H2. . Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed in the special symbol display area H1, the off symbol combination such as [151] and [345] is also displayed on the variable display H2 in a fixed stop manner. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes.

  As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effect related to the symbol variation game (the symbol variation game in which one column of symbols is variably displayed) performed on the special symbol display H1 is changed (three columns of symbols are varied). A symbol variation game that displays a combination of symbols is displayed.

  In addition, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 (left side of the special figure display H1). In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In this embodiment, there are three types of common diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the upper LED is lit, and only the lower LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the general map shown when both LEDs are lit is referred to as “0”, and the general map shown when only the upper LED (or only the lower LED) is lit is generally used. It is assumed that the figure is “1”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or a loss from a symbol (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  A start winning opening 22 having an opening / closing blade 21 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed below the center accessory 20. Behind the start winning opening 22 is provided a start opening sensor SW1 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a winning game ball. The start winning opening 22 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game in response to detection of a game ball winning. Also, below the start winning port 22, a special winning port 23 (special winning port) provided with a large winning port door 24 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown) is disposed. . When the big hit game is awarded, the big winning opening 23 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 24 and the game ball can be won, so that the player has a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. There is a case.

  The pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment stores the number of winning game balls when the game ball is won at the start winning opening 22 and stores the number of the reserved game balls in the machine (main storage number) It is stored in the RAM 30c) of the control board 30. The number of reserved memories accumulated when the symbol variation game is being performed indicates the number of symbol variation games being held (waiting for symbol variation game). The reserved memory number is incremented by 1 when a game ball wins the start winning opening 22 and is decremented by 1 when the symbol variation game is started. Therefore, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 22 during the symbol variation game, the reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). Then, as shown in FIG. 2, in the lower right part of the game board 13 (on the left side of the special symbol display H1 and below the normal symbol display H10), there is a pending symbol variation game based on the number of reserved memory. A reserved storage number display portion L for informing the player of the number of times is provided.

  The reserved memory number display portion L is configured by a light emitting means including a plurality of (four in this embodiment) LEDs including a hold lamp L1, a hold lamp L2, a hold lamp L3, and a hold lamp L4. A player is notified of the number of symbol variation games on hold by the number of lighting of the respective holding lamps L1 to L4. For example, when only the hold lamp L1 is lit, it indicates that one symbol variation game is being held, and when all the hold lamps L1 to L4 are lit, four symbol variation games are displayed. Indicates that it is pending.

  An operation gate 25 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 25, a gate sensor SW2 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided. The actuating gate 25 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the open / close blades 21 are opened. When the game per game is given, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the start winning opening 22 by opening the opening / closing blade 21, and the player may have a chance to easily acquire the start condition of the symbol variation game. it can.

  The upper ball tray 15 is provided with a push button type effect button 26. When the effect button 26 is pressed, a detection signal is output to the overall control board 31 (see FIG. 3) connected to the effect button 26. When the detection signal is input from the effect button 26 during the predetermined operation effective period, the overall control board 31 controls the variable display device H2 to execute the display effect. Therefore, the effect button 26 of the present embodiment serves as an effect operating means operated by the player. The production button 26 itself is formed of a translucent resin, and a light emitting lamp is accommodated therein. For this reason, when the light-emitting lamp is turned on, it can appear as if the effect button 26 is emitting light. This light-emitting lamp is connected to the overall control board 31, and is turned on and off according to instructions from the overall CPU 31a.

  Further, in the center accessory 20, three rotary movable bodies 27a, 27b, and 27c are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction on the right side of the variable display H2 in FIG. Each rotary movable body 27a, 27b, 27c includes a drive motor (not shown) and is configured to rotate in a predetermined direction by the drive motor. Each rotary movable body 27a, 27b, 27c is connected to the overall control board 31, and is configured to be driven to rotate based on a control signal output from the overall control board 31. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rotary movable bodies 27a, 27b, and 27c are effect movable bodies that perform predetermined operations.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function for providing a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1223 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (40/1223 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot. Further, the probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is given. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 21 is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the normal game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state that fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 21 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the open / close blade 21 is opened once and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the open. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 21 is opened three times and the opened state is maintained until 1600 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 21 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates favorably for the player. Yes.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls enters, the opening / closing blade 21 is closed. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 21 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even if the ball has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entrance rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of the probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. .

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that gives a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time-short”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. Yes. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open / close the blade 21 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability. The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the improved entrance rate, as described above, the open / close blade 21 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game.

  In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the open / close blade 21 is opened once and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the open. On the other hand, when winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening and closing blades 21 are opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1600 ms elapses after opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 21 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is given, compared to the state where the normal state is given. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is confirmed and stopped on the respective displays H1 to H2 in the symbol change game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening stage, the round game in which the grand prize opening 23 (the grand prize opening door 24) is opened has an upper limit of a predetermined number of rounds (in this embodiment, any one of 15 rounds, 7 rounds, or 2 rounds). As multiple times. One round game is until the grand prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, and during the single round game, there are a predetermined number (the maximum number of balls entered) of the big prize opening 23. It is released until a game ball wins or until a specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  And in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the six types of big hit games shown in FIG. 4, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become. Of the six types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined in accordance with the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, there are six types of jackpot symbols of 100 kinds of special symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, the symbols A, B, C, D, E, and F. Classified into groups.

  In the symbol A, 32 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1 are distributed. Similarly, 32 types of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1 are distributed to the symbol B. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, nine types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol C. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, two types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol D. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, seven types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol E. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display H1, 18 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol F. In addition, five types of special symbols (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are assigned to the symbol G shown in FIG.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the special chart display H1, and the specified number of rounds is set to “15”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. It is a 15 round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol A is displayed on the special chart display H1 is referred to as “15R probability variable jackpot game” (first jackpot game). In the 15R probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the 15R probability variable big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R probability variation big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability change state.

  Also, in the 15R probable big hit game, the opening time is “6 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “14.5 (seconds). ) ”Is set. Each round game may be terminated when a maximum number of game balls are entered. For this reason, in the 15R probability variation big hit game, “25 (seconds)” that is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. In addition, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 15R probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final release interval time (the time from the end of the final round to the start of ending) ) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol B is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to "7 times", and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a 7-round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol B is displayed on the special chart display H1 is referred to as “7R probability variable jackpot game” (first jackpot game). In the 7R probability variable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 7 round games in the 7R probability variation big hit game, the big winning opening door 24 of the big winning opening 23 is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 7R probability variation big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability change state.

  In addition, in the 7R probability variation big hit game, the opening time is “6 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “14.5 (seconds). ) ”Is set. Each round game may be terminated when a maximum number of game balls are entered. For this reason, in the 7R probability variable big hit game, “25 (seconds)” which is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. In addition, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 7R probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final release interval time (the time from the end of the final round to the start of ending) ) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol C is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a 2 round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol C is displayed on the special symbol display H1 is referred to as “first 2R probability variable jackpot game” (second jackpot game). In the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. In addition, in the two round games in the first 2R probability variation big hit game, each of the round games is set to open the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) “one time”.

  In addition, in the first 2R probability variation jackpot game, depending on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, there are cases where a probability variation state and an improved entrance rate are given after the jackpot game ends, and only the probability variation state after the jackpot game ends. May be granted. Specifically, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, only the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends (that is, the winning rate improved state is given 0 times). . If the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the increased winning rate state are given after the end of the big hit game. In addition, after the end of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, when the entering rate improvement state is given, the entering rate improvement state is given until the symbol variation game is played 50 times.

  In the first 2R probability variation big hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “0.3 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game. Further, when the symbol C is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the first 2R probability variable big hit game is finished). The ending time is set to “1.4 (seconds)”. On the other hand, when the symbol C is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, the winning rate improvement state is given after the first 2R probability variable big hit game is finished). ), “7.0 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the first 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the final round to the start of ending) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  In addition, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the first 2R probability variation big hit game is the number of game balls that enter the big winning opening 23 in one round game, The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, within 9 hours of round game time (0.3 (seconds)), “9 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, are launched and entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a 2 round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol D is displayed on the special symbol display H1 is referred to as “second 2R probability variable jackpot game” (second jackpot game). In the second 2R probability variation big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the second 2R probability variation big hit game, each of the round games is set to open the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) “one time”.

  In the second 2R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the positive change state and the increased entry rate state are given after the big hit game ends. It should be noted that after the second 2R probability variation big hit game is finished, the state of improving the entrance rate is given until the next big hit game is given.

  In the second 2R probability variation big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.3 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “7. “0 (seconds)” is set. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the second 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the final round to the end of the ending) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  In addition, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, in the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the second 2R probability variation big hit game, the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 23 in one round game is the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. That is, in each round game of the second 2R probability variation big hit game, within 9 hours of the round game time (0.3 (seconds)), “9 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, are launched and entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol E is displayed on the special chart display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends It is a 2 round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol E is displayed on the special symbol display H1 is referred to as "third 2R probability variable jackpot game" (second jackpot game). In the third 2R probability variation big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. In the second round game in the third 2R probability variation big hit game, the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) is set to be opened “once” in each round game.

  In the third 2R probability variation jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, there are cases where a probability variation state and an improved entrance rate state are given after the jackpot game ends, and only the probability variation state after the jackpot game ends. May be granted. Specifically, when the winning rate of the big hit lottery is won, only the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished unless the state of increasing the entrance rate is given. If the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the increased winning rate state are given after the end of the big hit game. In addition, after the end of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, when the winning rate improvement state is given, the winning rate improvement state is given until the next big hit game is given.

  Further, in the third 2R probability variation big hit game, “0.004 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.3 (second)” is set as the round game time of one round game. Also, when the symbol E is displayed and the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the end of the third 2R probability variable big hit game) The ending time is set to “1.4 (seconds)”. On the other hand, when the symbol E is displayed and a winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, after the third 2R probability variable big hit game is finished, the winning rate improvement state is given) ), “7.0 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Note that the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the third 2R probability variation big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final release interval time (from the end of the final round to the start of ending) Is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  In addition, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. However, in the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, the number of game balls that enter the big winning opening 23 in one round game is the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. That is, in each round game of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, within the round game time (0.3 (seconds)), the “9 balls” game balls, which are the maximum number of balls entered, are launched and entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol F is displayed on the special symbol display H1, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the non-probable change state ( It is a two-round big hit game in the normal state). Hereinafter, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed on the special figure display H1 is referred to as “2R non-probability variable jackpot game” (second jackpot game). In the 2R non-probable big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the 2R non-probability big hit game, the grand prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) is set to be opened once in each round game.

  In addition, in the 2R non-probability big hit game given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed, the short time state (that is, the improved entrance rate) is set according to the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. Whether or not it is given is different. Specifically, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the short time state (entry rate improving state) is not given after the big hit game ends. If the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the short time state (entry rate improving state) is given after the end of the big hit game. In addition, after the end of the 2R uncertain variable big hit game that is given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed, if the short-time state is given, until the symbol change game is played 50 times or the next big hit Until the game is given, a short time state (entrance rate improvement state) is given.

  In the 2R non-probability big hit game, “0.004 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.3 (second)” is set as the round game time of one round game. In addition, when the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is not given after the 2R non-probable big hit game ends), the ending time is “1.4 (seconds)”. Is set. On the other hand, when the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery (that is, when the winning rate improvement state is given after the 2R non-probable big hit game ends), the ending time is “7.0 (seconds). ) ”Is set. In addition, the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 2R non-probable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”, and the final opening interval time (from the end of the final round to the end of the ending) Time) is set to “1.996 (seconds)”.

  That is, the opening time and the round game time in the 2R non-probability big hit game are set to the same time as the opening time and the round game time in the first 2R probability big hit game, respectively. In addition, the ending time in the 2R non-probability big hit game where the winning rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished is the same as the ending time in the first 2R probable big hit game where the winning rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished. (1.4 seconds). In addition, the ending time in the 2R non-probability large hit game in which the winning rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished is the ending time in the first 2R probable big hit game in which the winning rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished, The same time (7.0 seconds) is set. Further, the opening mode of the big prize opening door 24 in the first 2R probability variation big hit game is the same as the opening mode of the big prize opening door 24 in the 2R non-probability big hit game.

  For this reason, any one of the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, and the 2R non-probable big hit game is determined based on the opening state of the grand prize winning door 24, the opening time, the round game time, and the ending time. It is impossible to determine whether it has been granted. In addition, the production contents of the symbol variation game to which the first 2R probability variation big hit game is given, the production contents of the symbol variation game to which the third 2R probability variation big hit game is given, and the symbol to which the 2R non-probability variation big hit game is given. Since the contents of the effect of the variable game are the same, it cannot be distinguished from the contents of the effect. In addition, the content of the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the content of the third 2R probability variation big hit game, and the content of the 2R non-probability big hit game are the same, and can be distinguished from the content of the production. I can't do it. Similarly, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, and the 2R non-probable big hit game depend on the game state at the time of winning the big hit and whether or not the improved entrance rate is given after the big hit game ends. It is impossible to determine which of the games has been awarded. That is, it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability variation state is given after the first 2R probability variation big hit game, the third 2R probability variation big hit game, or the 2R non-probability big hit game ends.

  The small hit game that is given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol G is displayed on the special symbol display H1, the prescribed round number is set to “1” and the round game of one round game The upper limit number of balls (count) is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the single round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening 23 (the big prize opening door 24) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability variation state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit lottery game, and the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery If it has been done, after the small hit game ends, the state of increasing the entrance rate is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the improved winning rate is continuously given after the small hit game ends. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In addition, in the small hit game, “0 (seconds)” as the opening time, “3.388 (seconds)” as the ending time when the winning rate improvement state is not granted at the time of winning, the winning rate at the time of winning “8.988 (seconds)” is set as the ending time when the improved state is given. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.3 (seconds)” as an opening mode of the big winning opening 23 (big winning opening door 24) of the round game in the small hit game. Between the first opening and the second opening, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time. The time from the closing of the second prize opening door 24 to the start of ending is set to “0.012 (seconds)”.

  As described above, in the small hit game to which the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the time from the start of the small hit game to the end is “0.3 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 ( Second) +0.012 (second) +3.388 (second) ”is set to“ 6.0 (second) ”. The time from the start to the end of the first 2R probability variation big hit game (or the third 2R probability variation big hit game) to which the entrance rate improvement state is not given is “0.004 (seconds) +0.3 ( Second) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 (seconds) +1.996 (seconds) +1.4 (seconds) ”is set to“ 6.0 (seconds) ”, and the grand prize opening door 24 is opened. The time and interval time are the same. For this reason, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, it is impossible to determine which of the small hit game, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, and the third 2R probability variable big hit game is given from the appearance. .

  In addition, in the small hit game to which the entrance rate improvement state is given, the time from the start of the small hit game to the end is “0.3 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 (seconds)”. That is, “11.6 (seconds)” including “+0.012 (seconds) +8.988 (seconds)” is set. The time from the start to the end of the first 2R probability variable big hit game (or the third 2R probability variable big hit game) to which the entrance rate improvement state is given is “0.004 (seconds) +0.3. (1) (second) +2.0 (seconds) +0.3 (seconds) +1.996 (seconds) +7.0 (seconds) ”. The opening time and interval time are the same. For this reason, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, it is impossible to determine which of the small hit game, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, and the third 2R probability variable big hit game is given. Yes.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, the round game time (2.6 (seconds)) of the small hit game is such that the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 23 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game. The time is set. In other words, in the round game of the small hit game, it is substantially to launch and enter the “9 balls” that are the upper limit of the number of balls entered within the round game time (2.6 (seconds)). It is impossible.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of each of the control boards 30 to 34 will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a start port sensor SW1 that detects a game ball won in the start winning port 22. Further, the special CPU H1 is connected to the main CPU 30a. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected with a reserved memory number display section L. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns (effect patterns) P1 to P17. The variation patterns P1 to P17 are game effects from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) to when the symbol is confirmed and stopped (the symbol variation game ends) ( A pattern serving as a base of a display effect, a light emission effect, and a sound effect) is shown. In other words, the variation patterns P1 to P17 can specify the effect contents and effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special diagram starts to vary until the special diagram is confirmed and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation patterns were not won in the winning pattern fluctuation patterns P <b> 1 to P <b> 10 selected when winning the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery, and neither the big hit lottery nor the small hit lottery. It consists of fluctuation patterns P11 to P17 for off-line effects selected in the case of off-line.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the winning pattern variation state is given to the variation pattern for the hit effect, the big hit effect selected when the 15R probability variable big hit game and the 7R probability variable big hit game are determined. Variation pattern P1 (first variation turn) and variation pattern P3 (third variation pattern). In addition, the variation pattern for winning effect is provided with a variation rate P6 (sixth variation pattern) and variation pattern P7 selected when the 15R probability variation large winning game is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is given. (Seventh variation pattern). Further, when the winning rate variation state is given to the variation pattern for winning effect, the variation pattern P2 (second variation) selected when the second to third 2R probability variation big hit games are determined. pattern). Further, when the winning rate variation state is given to the variation pattern for the winning effect, the variation pattern P4 (fourth variation) selected when the second to third 2R probability variation big hit games are determined. Pattern). In addition, the winning pattern variation pattern is selected when either the first 2R probability variation big hit game, 2R non-probability big hit game or small hit game is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is given. There is a fluctuation pattern P5 (fifth fluctuation pattern).

  In addition, when the winning rate variation state is not given to the variation pattern for the winning effect, the variation pattern P8 for the jackpot effect that is selected when the 15R probability variation big hit game and the 7R probability variation large hit game are determined (the first pattern). 8 variation patterns). Also, when the winning rate variation pattern is not given to the winning effect variation pattern, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, 2R non-probable big hit game or small hit game is determined. There is a variation pattern P9 that is selected when it is performed. Further, the variation pattern for winning effect includes a variation pattern P10 selected when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Then, reach is formed in the variation pattern for the outlier effect, and after reaching the reach effect, the variation pattern P11, P12 for the outlier reach effect is finally set as a dislocation without forming the reach. There are fluctuation patterns P13 to P17 for an out-of-reach effect (hereinafter, simply referred to as an out-effect).

  Therefore, it becomes impossible to determine which of the first 2R probability variable big hit game, 2R non-probable big hit game, or small hit game is given from the effect of the symbol variable game based on the fluctuation pattern P5. Yes. Similarly, which of the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probability big hit game, or the small hit game is given from the contents of the design variation game based on the variation pattern P9? Cannot be determined. In other words, it is impossible to determine whether or not a certain variation state has been given from the effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 or the variation pattern P9.

  The jackpot effect performed based on the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8 is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally reaches the symbol combination of the jackpot through the reach effect and finally displays the symbol combination. is there. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol change game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P17 will be described.
When the symbol variation game is played based on the normal variation patterns P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8 for the big hit effect, the special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2 can recognize the big hit symbol and the big hit respectively. The symbol combination is finally displayed. Further, when the symbol variation game is played based on the normal variation patterns P6, P7, and P8 for the big hit effect, the revariation effect (re-lottery effect) is executed. The re-variation effect is a temporary jackpot symbol combination (hereinafter simply referred to as a temporary symbol) on the variable display H2 in the symbol variation game. This is an effect of deriving a jackpot symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as a finalized stop decoration). In this embodiment, the re-variation effect causes each symbol row constituting the temporary symbol to fluctuate again, fluctuates in a state where all the rows are aligned with the same symbol (a state of a glance), and a fixed stop decoration is displayed by stopping the variation. It is performed in the manner of deriving. In the re-variation effect, the same jackpot symbol combination as before the change or the jackpot symbol combination indicating that the profit is larger than before the variation is derived.

  When the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P2, P4, P5, P9, and P10, the special symbol display H1 displays the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol, and the variable indicator H2 indicates the probability change suggestion. The combination is finally displayed. For example, when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is determined and the symbol variation game is played based on the variation pattern P2, the variable combination H2 displays the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation based on the decorative drawing, and at the same time A big hit symbol by a special figure is displayed on the display H1. In addition, for example, when a small hit game is determined and a symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9, the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation by the decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2, and at the same time, the special symbol display In H1, a small hit symbol according to a special figure is displayed.

  In addition, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P11 and P12 for the outlier reach effect, the symbol combination of the out symbol and the outlier (outlier reach) is finally obtained in the special symbol display device H1 and the variable display device H2. Is displayed. For example, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P11 for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers by the decorative drawing is displayed and at the same time On the display device H1, an off symbol according to a special figure is displayed.

  Then, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P13 to P17 for the offending effect, the special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2 each finally have a combination of the symbol and the symbol combination after the normal variation. It is displayed. For example, when a symbol variation game is played based on the variation pattern P12 for the offending effect, after the symbol variation game is started, a normal variation is performed, and the variable display H2 displays a combination of symbols that are out of decoration. In the figure display H1, the off symbol by the special figure is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P8 for the big hit effect, one of the four types of reach effects R1, R2, R3, R4 is performed. In addition, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P12 for the outlier reach effect, one of the three types of reach effects R1, R2, R3 is performed.

  For example, in the reach effect R1, after the reach symbol combination by the decoration drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed, the specific character K1 appears, and the remaining one row (in this embodiment, the middle row) is changed to derive the decoration drawing. Reach production (also called “XX reach” by the name of the appearing character) is performed with the production content to be performed. The same applies to the reach effects R2 to R4. When the reach effect R2 is executed, the specific character K2 appears. When the reach effect R3 is executed, the specific character K3 appears. When the reach effect R4 is executed, the specific character K4 is displayed. It has come to appear. Further, the reach times of reach effects R1, R2, R3, R4 are set to be the same.

  In the present embodiment, the ratio of jackpot game (hit reliability or jackpot expectation) is varied according to the types of reach effects R1, R2, R3, R4. More specifically, in the order of reach production R1 <reach production R2 <reach production R3 <reach production R4, the ratio of winning big hit games is set to be higher. This indicates that the degree of expectation (possibility) that the big hit game is given increases in the order of reach effect R1 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R3 <reach effect R4.

  The ratio at which the jackpot game is awarded is determined by how often each reach effect R1, R2, R3, R4 is executed during the jackpot effect and how often it is executed during the outlier reach effect. In other words, in order to increase the percentage that the hit effect of the reach effect is given, the reach in the case of the big hit is compared to the ratio of the reach effect (the overall ratio that appears in the case of the reach out of the big hit). What is necessary is just to make it raise (or perform any one) the ratio in which the said reach production appears in the case of a divergence reach while raising the ratio in which the production appears. In this way, by changing the ratio of winning big hit games, the reach symbol combination is displayed, and when the reach effect is performed, the expectation to the big hit that the player holds according to the type of the reach effect The feeling can be changed. In the present embodiment, the reach effect R4 is executed only when the symbol change game based on the change pattern P8 is executed, and the jackpot game is given when the reach effect R4 appears. I can recognize that.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (all 1223 integers from 0 to 1222) that the random number for winning determination can take. Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (four in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not a small hit is made, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by random numbers for hit determination (total of 1223 integers from 0 to 1222). Note that the number of small hit determination values when the symbol variation game is played is set to 5) in the present embodiment. Further, the random number for hit determination uses the random number used in the big hit determination as it is. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special figure is assigned a predetermined number (one in the present embodiment) of random numbers for special figure distribution, and the main CPU 30a obtains when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the random number for special figure distribution. This special figure distribution random number is set to a predetermined cycle so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers of “0” to “99”). Each time (every 2 ms), the numerical value is incremented by one and updated. Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated value in the RAM 30c as the value of the special figure distribution random number, and rewrites the value of the special figure distribution random number that has already been stored. Are updated sequentially. In the present embodiment, the random number for special figure distribution is acquired when the game ball wins the start winning opening 22.

The ROM 34b stores various audio control data (audio control data such as music and sound effects). The RAM 34c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the winning process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not winning of a game ball is detected at predetermined time intervals (step S11). That is, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output from the start winning device constituted by the start winning port 22 and the start port sensor SW1 is input. When the determination result is negative (when no winning is detected), the main CPU 30a ends the winning process. On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (when winning detection is present), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of reserved storage stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit (4 in the present embodiment) (step). S12). If this determination result is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the winning process.

  On the other hand, if this determination result is affirmative (if the number of stored storages <4), the main CPU 30a adds “+1” (+1) to the stored storage number stored in the RAM 30c and rewrites the stored stored number (step S13). ). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number value from the RAM 30c, and corresponds the read hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number value to the reserved storage number. A predetermined storage area of the attached RAM 30c is set (step S14). The hit determination random number and the special figure allocation random number are random numbers that are sequentially updated by the main CPU 30a at predetermined intervals, and the main CPU 30a sets the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 30c before the update. The value of is rewritten. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the winning process.

Next, the variation pattern determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbols (special illustrations and decorations) are in a variable display, whether or not a small hit game is being played, and whether or not a big hit game (special game) is being performed (step S21). ). When the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (when the symbol variation game, the small hit game or the big hit game is being performed), the main CPU 30a ends the variation pattern determination process. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S21 is negative (when the symbol variation game is not being played, the small hit game is not being played, and the big hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a determines that the number of reserved memories is “0” at a predetermined time interval It is determined whether it is larger (step S22). If the determination result of step S22 is negative (when the number of stored memories = 0), there is no pending symbol variation game, so the main CPU 30a ends the variation pattern determination process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S22 is affirmative (if the number of stored storages> 0), the main CPU 30a matches the random number for determination of hits and the special figure distribution stored in the RAM 30c in association with the number of stored storages. Read the random number value. Then, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery) (step S23). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1223, and when the probability variation state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 40/1223. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the reserved storage number (−1), and then obtains the value of the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number stored in association with the reserved storage number. It is like that.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a determines the special hit display symbol H1 from the big hit symbols according to the special figure based on the special figure distribution random number value read from the RAM 30c. A final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed is determined (step S24).

  In addition, the big hit symbol of the special figure displayed on the special figure display H1 is classified into any of the symbols A to F. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the jackpot symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “31” is classified into special figure A, and the special figure distribution random number “32”. The special jackpot symbol corresponding to "63" is classified as special figure B, and the special jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers "64" to "72" is classified as special figure C. Is done. The special jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “73” to “74” is classified as special figure D, and the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “75” to “81”. The jackpot symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “82” to “99” is classified as the special figure F.

  Thereby, in step S24, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as symbol A as a big hit symbol with a probability of 32/100. Similarly, in step S24, the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 32/100, determines the symbol classified as symbol C with a probability of 9/100, and is classified as symbol D. Is determined with a probability of 2/100. Similarly, in step S24, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol E with a probability of 7/100, and determines a symbol classified as the symbol F with a probability of 18/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern distribution table for winning effects according to the gaming state at the time of winning (step S25). In this embodiment, the variation pattern distribution table T1 for winning effects selected when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the winning effects selected when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, A variation pattern sorting table T2 is provided. As shown in FIG. 9A, the variation pattern distribution table T1 for winning effects is composed of variation patterns P1 to P7, and each variation pattern is distributed with one or a plurality of variation pattern distribution random numbers. ing. The random number for allocating the fluctuation pattern is determined by the main CPU 30a at predetermined intervals so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 251 integers from “0” to “250”). It is updated by incrementing by 1 (every 2 ms). This variation pattern distribution random number is stored in the RAM 30c.

  Note that the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution have been changed according to the determined final stop symbol. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol B, 70 variation pattern distribution random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern P1, and the variation 181 random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are distributed to the pattern P3. Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol D, 224 variation pattern distribution random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern P2. 27 variation pattern distribution random numbers are distributed to the variation pattern P4.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 9B, the variation pattern distribution table T2 for winning effects is composed of variation patterns P8 to P10, and each variation pattern has a variation pattern distribution random number of 1 or There are multiple distributions. The variation pattern distribution random numbers are changed according to the determined final stop symbol as in the variation pattern distribution table T2. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol D, 251 (all) random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are distributed to the variation pattern P10. Yes.

  After the process of step S25, the main CPU 30a acquires a random number for distribution pattern distribution from the RAM 30c. Then, the main CPU 30a refers to the winning effect variation pattern distribution table selected in Step S25, and determines a winning effect variation pattern based on the determined final stop symbol and the acquired variation pattern distribution random number (Step S25). S26).

  For example, the main CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern distribution table T1 and refers to the variation pattern distribution random number when the determined final stop symbol is classified as the symbol B when the entrance rate improvement state is given. Based on the above, the variation pattern P1 is determined with a probability of 70/251, and the variation pattern P3 is determined with a probability of 181/251. In addition, for example, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P2 with the probability of 224/251 when the determined final stop symbol is classified as the symbol D when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the variation The pattern P4 is determined with a probability of 27/251. Further, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P10 when the determined final stop symbol is classified as the symbol D when the entrance rate improvement state is not given.

  After that, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S27). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command (effect pattern designation command) that designates the variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. After that, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the special-figure display H1 so that the determined final stop symbol is displayed based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the variation pattern determination process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S23 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S28). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is constant regardless of the gaming state, and the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 5/1223.

  When the determination result in step S28 is affirmative (in the case of a small hit), the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and displayed on the special symbol display H1 from the small symbol (symbol G) by the special symbol. (Step S29). After that, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P5 as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game when the entrance rate improvement state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P9 as the variation pattern for winning effect corresponding to the small hit game when the entrance rate improvement state is not given (step S30).

  The main CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, proceeds to the process of step S27, and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes relating to the game are executed, and the variation pattern determination process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S28 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to perform a reach effect (step S31).

  In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (reach probability) changes depending on the gaming state and the number of reserved memories. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are not given, and the number of reserved memories is 2 or less before the start of the variation pattern determination process Has a reach probability of 34/241. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are not given and the number of reserved memories is 3 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 20/241. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are not given and the number of reserved memories is 4 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 6/241.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the probability variation state is given, the number of reserved memories is 2 or less before the start of the variation pattern determination process. In this case, the reach probability is 42/241. Also, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the probability variation state is given, when the number of reserved memories is 3 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 27/241 Yes. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the probability variation state is given, when the number of reserved memories is 4 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the reach probability is set to 12/241. Yes.

  Therefore, when the entry rate improvement state is not given, and the number of reserved memories is large (when there are many symbol variation games on hold), the probability that a reach effect that causes the symbol variation game to be missed is executed. And the reliability of the jackpot of reach production is relatively high. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, if the reserved memory number is large, it is difficult to execute the reach effect, the effect time of the symbol variation game is shortened, and the reserved memory number can be quickly digested. Increases nature.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the entrance rate improvement state is given and the probability variation state is not given, the reach probability is set to 4/241 regardless of the number of reserved memories. . As shown in FIG. 10B, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are given, the reach probability is 1/241 regardless of the number of reserved memories. Accordingly, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the reach effect that is out of order is executed becomes lower when the probability variation state is given. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability variation state are given, the jackpot reliability of the reach effect is increased.

  When the determination result of the reach determination in step S32 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines a special figure indicating a disengagement as a final stop symbol (step S32). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P11 as the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the variation pattern. P12 is determined (step S33).

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S27, and executes various processes related to the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) as described above. Then, the variation pattern determination process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination in step S31 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the special figure indicating the detachment as the final stop symbol (step S34). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P13 to P17 for the offending effect (step S35). In this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and the number of reserved memories is 2 or less before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a performs the variation whose effect time is 12336ms. The pattern P13 is determined. Similarly, in this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the number of reserved memories is 3 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a has an effect time of 7000 ms. A certain variation pattern P14 is determined. Similarly, in this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the number of reserved memories is 4 before the start of the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a has an effect time of 3000 ms. A certain variation pattern P15 is determined.

  That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and the number of reserved memories is 2 or less, the variation pattern P13 having the longest production time among the variation patterns for the off-direction production that is most easily selected is based on the fluctuation pattern P13. The symbol variation game is executed, and the time until the game ball wins the start winning opening 22 is earned so that the number of stored memories is not lost. Thereby, the symbol variation game can be continuously executed, and the player can be prevented from getting bored. On the other hand, when the winning rate improvement state is not given and the reserved memory number is 4 (upper limit), the game ball may win the start winning opening 22 and the winning may be wasted. In order to avoid this, the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P15 having the shortest production time is executed.

  In addition, in this step S35, when the entrance rate improvement state is given, regardless of the number of reserved memories, the main CPU 30a changes the variation pattern P16 whose effect time is 7500 ms or the change pattern P17 whose effect time is 3500 ms. Either one is determined by random number lottery.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S27, and executes various processes related to the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) as described above. Then, the variation pattern determination process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the variation pattern determination process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the jackpot, after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main CPU 30a starts control of the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol, and the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a). ), A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a are 15R probability variable big hit game, 7R probability variable big hit game, first 2R probability variable big hit game, second 2R probability variable big hit game, third 2R probability variable big hit game, and 2R non-probable big hit game. Each jackpot game will be explained.

  First, control when a 15R probability variable big hit game and a 7R probability variable big hit game are given will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (6 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 24 of the big prize opening 23 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third round to the fifteenth round (the seventh round in the case of the 7R probability variable big hit game). Then, when the round game of the final round ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the final opening interval time (1.996 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (14.5 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when 15R probability variation big hit game and 7R probability variation big hit game are awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted, and also gives the improved entrance rate state. “1” is set in the operation flag indicating that the When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Each flag is cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded.

  The main CPU 30a sets “1” in the operation flag when the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded, and the number of times of operation indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the improved entrance rate is given. Set to 10,000 times. The number of operations is decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set). By setting the number of actuations to 10,000 times, the entry rate improvement state is substantially given until the next big hit.

Next, the control when the first 2R probability variable big hit game to the third 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game are given will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 0.3 seconds). . The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 24 is opened (first opening), and if the round game time (0.3 seconds) has elapsed, the main round of the first round game is played. To end, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and measures the round game time (max 0.3 seconds). Start. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 24 is opened (second opening), and if the round game time (0.3 seconds) has elapsed, the main game 30a plays the second round game. To end, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the final open interval time (1.996 seconds) has elapsed since the end of the second round game. Further, when the round game of the second round is completed, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the ending time according to the type of jackpot game and the game state after the final opening interval time (1.996 seconds) has elapsed. The main CPU 30a receives the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, or the 2R non-probable big hit game, and does not give the improved entrance rate after the big hit game ends. Ends the jackpot game after 1.4 seconds. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a is provided with the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, or the 2R non-probable big hit game, and when the big hit game is finished, When the second 2R probability variation jackpot game is awarded, the jackpot game is terminated after 7 seconds.

  At that time, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag to “1” when the first 2R probability variable big hit game to the third 2R probability variable big hit game is granted, while the 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded. Set the probability variation flag to “0”.

  In addition, the main CPU 30a is provided with the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, or the 2R non-probable big hit game, and has not been given the improved entrance rate when the big hit is won. In this case, “0” is set in the operation flag.

  Further, when the first 2R probability variable big hit game and 2R non-probable big hit game are awarded, and the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit, the main CPU 30a sets “1” in the operation flag. ”Is set, and the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the improved entrance rate is given is set to 50 times. The number of operations is decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set). Note that the number of operations is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. The number of operations is also cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded.

  Then, the main CPU 30a is provided with a third 2R probability variation big hit game, and when the winning rate winning state is given at the time of winning the big hit, or when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded, Set the operation flag to “1”. At this time, the main CPU 30a sets 10,000 times as the number of operations. By setting the number of actuations to 10,000 times, the entry rate improvement state is substantially given until the next big hit.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the small hit, after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main CPU 30a starts controlling the small hit game, and gives a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a). Is output at a predetermined timing. Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game and starts measuring the round game time (max 2.6 seconds). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize opening door 24 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 24. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after opening the first prize opening door 24 (first opening), and when the opening time (0.3 seconds) has elapsed, the first big prize opening door 24 is opened. A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 24 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 24. Next, when the interval time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as opening the second big prize opening door 24. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 24 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time (0.3 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big winning prize opening. To close the door 24, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after elapse of the final opening interval time (0.012 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time. After the ending time has elapsed (after 3.388 seconds have elapsed if the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the small hit game, and after 8.898 seconds have elapsed if the entrance rate improvement state has been assigned), the main CPU 30a Ends the small hit game. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value).

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game ends, the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, In the 2R non-probability big hit game and the small hit game, the open mode of the big winning opening door 24 is the same mode. From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the state of improving the winning rate is not given after the end of the big hit game, the first 2R probability variation big hit game, It is not possible to distinguish between the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probable big hit game, and the small hit game. If the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, the 2R non-probable big hit game or the small hit game is won when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the variation pattern P9 is used. The symbol variation game is executed. From the above, if the first 2R probability variable big hit game, the third 2R probability variable big hit game, 2R non-probable big hit game or small hit game is won when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, It is not possible to determine which winning game has been executed based on the contents of the game, the open state of the special winning opening door 24, or the like. Therefore, in such a state, the player can be expected that the probability variation state may be given, and the game can be continued.

  In addition, by executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, when the ball entering rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished, the first 2R probability change big hit game to the third 2R probability change. In the big hit game, the 2R non-probability big hit game, and the small hit game, the opening mode of the big winning door 24 is the same mode. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is given and the first 2R probability variation big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game is awarded, the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 is executed. From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is given and the first 2R probability variation big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game is given, the fluctuation occurs. When the symbol variation game based on the pattern P5 is executed, it is not possible to determine which winning game has been executed based on the effect contents of the symbol variation game, the open state of the special winning opening door 24, or the like. For this reason, in such a state, it is possible to make the player expect that the probability variation state may be given, and the game can be continued.

  As described above, the main CPU 30a of the present embodiment serves as a big hit determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. The main CPU 30a serves as random number acquisition means for acquiring a hit determination random number. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a variation pattern determination unit that determines a variation pattern. The main CPU 30a serves as a jackpot game determination means for determining the game content of the jackpot game. The main CPU 30a serves as a jackpot game granting means for granting a jackpot game. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to assign a probability change state. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as reach determination means for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a executes a process according to the control command or outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing. More specifically, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, based on the designated final stop symbol and variation pattern, the symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as a decorative symbol) that finally displays the variable display on the variable display H2 is confirmed and stopped. , Shown as a fixed stop decoration drawing).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the ROM 31 b stores a fixed stop decoration diagram that may be determined for each variation pattern for winning effects in association with each other. Then, one or more random numbers for decorating drawing determination are assigned to each of the associated fixed stop decorative drawings. The decoration drawing determination random number is determined by the overall CPU 31a at predetermined intervals so that numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 251 integers from “0” to “250”) can be obtained. 1 is added every 2 ms) and updated. This random number for decoration drawing determination is stored in the RAM 31c. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the fixed stop decorations associated with the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8 for winning effects are assigned with random numbers for determining decorations according to the final stop pattern. It has become different.

  For example, when the variation pattern P1 is designated and the special figure A is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines [111] as a fixed stop decoration with a probability of 3/251. [222] is determined with a probability of 3/251, [333] is determined with a probability of 18/251, and [444] is determined with a probability of 3/251. When the variation pattern P1 is designated and the special figure A is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [555] as a fixed stop decoration with a probability of 18/251, and [666] ] With a probability of 3/251, [777] with a probability of 197/251, [888] with a probability of 3/251, and [999] with a probability of 3/251.

  When the variation patterns P3 and P8 are designated and the special figure A is designated as the final stop symbol, the general CPU 31a sets [111] as the probability of 12/251 as the final stop decoration. [222] is determined with a probability of 12/251, [333] is determined with a probability of 27/251, and [444] is determined with a probability of 12/251. When the variation patterns P3 and P8 are designated and the special figure A is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [555] as a fixed stop decoration with a probability of 27/251, [666] is determined with a probability of 12/251, [777] is determined with a probability of 125/251, [888] is determined with a probability of 12/251, and [999] is determined with a probability of 12/251. To do.

  On the other hand, when the variation patterns P1, P3, and P8 are designated, and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, the general CPU 31a sets [111] as 25/251 as the final stop decoration diagram. [222] is determined with a probability of 37/251, [333] is determined with a probability of 25/251, and [444] is determined with a probability of 38/251. When the variation patterns P1, P3, and P8 are designated and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a sets [555] as 25/251 as the final stop decoration diagram. [666] is determined with a probability of 38/251, [888] is determined with a probability of 38/251, and [999] is determined with a probability of 25/251. When the variation patterns P1, P3, and P8 are determined and the special figure B is designated as the final stop symbol, as shown in FIG. As a figure, [777] is not determined.

  When the variation patterns P6 and P7 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [777] as the fixed stop decoration drawing. When the variation patterns P6 and P7 are designated, the special figure B is not designated as the final stop symbol (see FIG. 9A).

  When the variation patterns P2, P9, and P10 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [191] with a probability of 28/251 and [212] with a probability of 35/251 as a fixed stop decoration. , [323] is determined with a probability of 22/251, and [434] is determined with a probability of 35/251. When the variation patterns P2, P9, and P10 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [545] with a probability of 22/251 and [656] with a probability of 35/251 as a fixed stop decoration. , [767] are determined with a probability of 11/251, [878] is determined with a probability of 35/251, and [989] is determined with a probability of 28/251.

  When the variation pattern P4 is specified, the overall CPU 31a determines [191] with a probability of 29/251, [212] with a probability of 37/251, and [323] as a fixed stop decoration. Is determined with a probability of 22/251 and [434] is determined with a probability of 37/251. When the variation pattern P4 is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [545] with a probability of 22/251, [656] with a probability of 37/251, and [878] as a fixed stop decoration. Is determined with a probability of 37/251 and [989] is determined with a probability of 30/251. That is, when the variation pattern P4 is designated, the overall CPU 31a does not determine [767] as the fixed stop decoration diagram, and does not display the reach symbol combination [7 ↓ 7] during the symbol variation game. ing.

  When the variation pattern P5 is specified, the overall CPU 31a determines [191] with a probability of 32/251, [212] with a probability of 41/251, and [434] Is determined with a probability of 53/251. When the variation pattern P5 is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines [656] with a probability of 52/251, [878] with a probability of 41/251, and [989] as a fixed stop decoration. Is determined with a probability of 32/251. That is, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the general CPU 31a does not determine [323] [545] [767] as the fixed stop decoration diagram, and the reach symbol combination [3 ↓ 3] during the symbol variation game. ] [5 ↓ 5] [7 ↓ 7] are not displayed.

  Further, when the final stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is a loss symbol and the variation pattern P11 for the loss reach effect is designated, the general CPU 31a displays the loss reach as the final stop decoration symbol. Determine the symbol combination. At that time, the overall CPU 31a does not determine “7” as a decorative drawing constituting the symbol combination of outlier reach (that is, the symbol combination of [7 ↓ 7] is not displayed). In addition, when the final stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is a loss symbol and the variation pattern P12 for the loss reach effect is designated, the general CPU 31a determines the loss reach as the final stop decoration symbol. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the final stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is an outlier symbol and the variation patterns P13 to P16 for the offending effect are designated, the overall CPU 31a misses as the final stop ornament symbol. Determine the symbol combination.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs to the display control board 32 a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design (definite stop decorative design) for each column. Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs all symbol stop commands, the overall CPU 31a outputs the commands to the display control board 32.

  The effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P6, P7, and P8 include a re-lottery effect (revariation effect). For this reason, when the variation patterns P6, P7, and P8 are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines a temporary symbol based on the determined fixed stop decoration to execute the re-lottery effect. This will be described in detail below.

  When determining the jackpot symbol combination [777] based on the decoration “7” as the fixed stop decoration (when it is the special figure A), the general CPU 31a determines one type of decoration from all the decorations. Then, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the determined decoration is used as a temporary symbol. On the other hand, when the overall CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol combination other than the decoration “7” as the fixed stop decoration, the overall CPU 31a sets the same symbol combination as the fixed stop decoration as a temporary pattern. Then, the overall CPU 31 a outputs a temporary symbol designation command for designating a temporary symbol designation command for designating the determined temporary symbol to the display control board 32.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern P8 or the fluctuation pattern P12 is input, the overall CPU 31a determines an effect execution pattern that specifies the effect contents of the reach effect. Specifically, when the central CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern P8 for the jackpot effect, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern by random lottery from the effect execution patterns of the reach effects R1 to R4. When the variation pattern P1 for the jackpot effect is input, the reach effect R3 is determined in the order of reach effect R4 <reach effect R1 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R3. Probability is highest. When the overall CPU 31a determines the effect execution patterns of the reach effects R1 to R4, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating an effect execution pattern for designating the reach effect (effect contents) to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

  Similarly, when the fluctuation pattern P12 for the outlier reach effect is input, the overall CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern by random lottery from the effect execution patterns of the reach effects R1 to R3. It should be noted that at the time of inputting the fluctuation pattern P12 for the outlier reach effect, the reach effect R1 is determined in the order of reach effect R3 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R1. Probability is highest. When determining the reach effects R1 to R3, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating an effect execution pattern for designating the reach effect (effect contents) to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

  As described above, the determination probabilities of the reach effects R1 to R4 are different between the big hit effect and the outlier reach effect. For this reason, the jackpot reliability is high in the order of reach effect R1 <reach effect R2 <reach effect R3 <reach effect R4. The reach effect R4 is selected only at the time of the big hit effect, and is therefore a big hit finalizing effect (an effect with a big hit reliability of 100%). Also, by setting the reach times of reach effects R1 to R4 to the same time, any reach effect R1 to R4 can be selected, and there is not enough time to perform reach effects R1 to R4, or the design changes There is no time left until the game ends.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of production modes are set by the overall CPU 31a. To explain in more detail based on FIG. 12, the central CPU 31a executes a symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 to P4, P6 to P8, and P10, and the 15R probability variable big hit game, the 7R probability variable big hit game, or the first to third When a 2R big hit game is awarded, a probability change effect mode indicating that a probability change state is given is set. In addition, when the probability variation effect mode is set, the general CPU 31a executes the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 and is given the first 2R big hit game state, 2R non-probability big hit game or small hit game. In this case, the probability variation concealment mode that suggests the possibility of the probability variation state being set is set until the end of the entrance rate improvement state or the probability variation effect mode is newly set after the end of the winning game. In addition, when the probability variation concealment mode is set, the overall CPU 31a sets the normal mode when giving the entrance rate improvement state is completed.

  In this embodiment, when the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode is set, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the predetermined variation patterns P1 to P7, P11, the reach effect that is executed during the normal mode. A confrontation reach effect different from R1 to R4 is executed.

  This confrontation reach effect is an effect in which a specific character K1 to K4 is displayed as a player's ally character and confronts the enemy character K0 after the reach symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed during the symbol variation game. When the characters K1 to K4 defeat the enemy character K0, the big win symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, and the 7R probability variable big hit game state or the 15R probability variable game state is given. On the other hand, in the case of a draw, the symbol combination indicating the probability variation is confirmed and stopped, and the probability variation state continues, but the 7R probability variation big hit gaming state or the 15R probability variation gaming state is not given (the prize ball cannot be paid out) It has become. In addition, when losing to the enemy character K0, the big hit symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, and the probability variation concealment mode is set (that is, the probability variation state may have ended). The contents of the effect of the confrontation reach effect are determined in advance based on the variation pattern.

  Specific contents of the confrontation reach effect will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 13, the contents and results of the confrontation reach production are shown. When the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11 is started in the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode, first, the ally character determined from the characters K1 to K4 by the overall CPU 31a is displayed. At the same time, the enemy character K0 is displayed.

  Next, based on the designated variation pattern, a crisis effect indicating that there is a possibility that a probability change confirmation effect or a probability change concealment mode indicating that the probability change effect mode is provided is executed. Specifically, when the certainty change confirmation effect is executed, the displayed friendly character attacks the enemy character K0, while the enemy character K0 defends against the attack, thereby giving the certainty effect mode. (That is, the probability variation state is given). In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation patterns P1, P2, and P6, the probability variation finalizing effect is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the crisis effect is executed, the displayed friendly character attacks the enemy character K0, while the enemy character K0 also fights back against the friendly character, so that the probability variation concealment mode is set. It indicates that there is a possibility of being granted (that is, there is a possibility that a normal state is given). In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation patterns P3, P4, P5, P7, and P11, the crisis effect is executed.

  When the probability change finalization effect or the crisis effect ends, the first effect indicating whether or not the 15R probability change big hit game or 7R big hit game is given, or the second effect showing whether or not the probability change effect mode is given is executed. The

  More specifically, the first effect is executed after the probability variation finalizing effect is executed. When the first effect is executed based on the variation patterns P1 and P6, the teammate character succeeds in the attack, the enemy character K0 falls and wins, and either the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded. It is supposed to be shown. On the other hand, when the first effect is executed based on the variation pattern P2, the teammate character's attack fails, the enemy character K0 is drawn without falling, and the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is not awarded. It is like that.

  Further, when the crisis effect is executed, the first effect or the second effect is then executed according to the designated variation pattern. Specifically, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P3, the first effect is executed, the attack of the teammate character is successful, the enemy character K0 falls and wins, and the 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R One of the probable big hit games is given. On the other hand, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P4, the second effect is performed, and the teammate character defends and draws the counterattack of the enemy character K0, and the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game. Is not provided, but indicates that the probability variation effect mode is provided.

  Further, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P5, the second effect is executed, and the enemy character K0 is defeated without being able to defend against the enemy character K0, and the 15R probability variation big hit game or Along with the fact that the 7R probability variation big hit game is not granted, the probability variation effect mode is not given. In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P11, the second effect is executed, and the teammate character defends against the enemy character K0 and strikes, and the currently set effect mode is continued. It is supposed to show that.

  In this way, when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed, the player is made aware that the probability variation concealment mode is not set and is given a sense of security, and either the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is given. It can be noted whether or not. On the other hand, when the crisis effect is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that there is a possibility that the probability variation concealment mode is set, to give anxiety, and to improve the interest of the game. Even when a crisis effect is executed, the first effect is executed, and either a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game may be given, which gives the player a sense of expectation. Can do.

  Next, the determination of a teammate character appearing in the confrontation reach production will be described. When the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11 including the confrontation reach effect in the effect content are designated, the general CPU 31a determines a teammate character to appear in the confrontation reach effect from the characters K1 to K4. The specified control command is output. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, characters K1 to K4 that appear in the confrontation reach effect are associated with the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11, and character fluctuations are associated with the characters K1 to K4. One or more distribution random numbers are assigned. The general CPU 31a acquires a character distribution random number when determining a teammate character, and determines a teammate character based on the acquired character distribution random number. The character allocation random number is determined by the overall CPU 31a at predetermined intervals so that numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers from “0” to “99”) can be obtained. It is updated by incrementing by 1 (every 2 ms). This character distribution random number is stored in the RAM 31c.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, when the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, and P7 are designated (when 15R probability variable big hit game or 7R probability variable big hit game is given), the general CPU 31a determines that the character K4 <character The random numbers for character distribution are distributed so as to be easily determined in the order of K1 <character K2 <character K3. Further, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the character distribution random numbers are distributed so that the overall CPU 31a can easily determine in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3. When the variation pattern P5 is designated, the character distribution random numbers are not distributed so that the character K4 is not determined.

  When the variation patterns P2, P4, and P11 are designated, the character distribution random numbers are distributed so that the overall CPU 31a can easily determine the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1. When the variation patterns P2, P4, and P11 are designated, the character distribution random numbers are not distributed so that the character K4 is not determined. For this reason, when the character K4 appears as a teammate character, it can be recognized that either 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  As described above, when the variation patterns P1, P3, P6, and P7 are designated, it is easy to determine the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3, while the variation patterns P2 and P4 are designated. In this case, the overall CPU 31a can easily determine the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1. Therefore, the degree of expectation that the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is given in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3 is high. On the other hand, the confrontation reach effect is drawn in the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1, and the expectation degree that the probability change effect mode is given although the 15R probability variable hit game or the 7R probability change big hit game is low. Is big.

  Further, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, it is easy to determine in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3. For this reason, in the order of character K1 <character K2 <character K3, the probability variation effect mode ends and the probability variation concealment mode is easily set. Conversely, in the order of character K3 <character K2 <character K1, the probability variation effect mode is difficult to end, and the probability variation concealment mode is difficult to set.

  Therefore, if the character K3 is displayed when the probability variation confirmed effect is executed, the player can win the result of the first effect and receive a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game. Can be recognized. On the other hand, if the character K1 is displayed when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed, the player may not be awarded the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game if the result of the first effect is a draw. Can be recognized.

  In particular, when the crisis effect is executed when the character K3 is displayed, the player is highly likely to receive the 15R probability variation big hit game or the like as a result of the first effect being won. On the other hand, it can be recognized that there is a high possibility that the result of the second effect is defeated and the probability variation effect mode is not given (it can be recognized that there is little possibility of a draw). In this case, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation and anxiety at the same time and improve the interest of the game. In addition, when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed while the character K3 is displayed, the player may be given a 15R probability variable big hit game or the like as a result of the first effect winning. You can recognize that it is expensive.

  When the crisis effect is executed when the character K1 is displayed, the player is unlikely to win the result of the first effect, but the result of the second effect is defeated. Recognizing that the possibility is low, it is possible to recognize that there is a high possibility that the probability variation effect mode is provided. In this case, a sense of security can be given to the player. On the other hand, when the probability variation finalizing effect is executed when the character K1 is displayed, the player recognizes that the result of the first effect is unlikely to be a victory, Will be even more joyful.

  The overall CPU 31a stores in the RAM 31c the types of ally characters for the past predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, twice). The general CPU 31a re-determines the ally character when the 15R probability variation big hit game is not given and the determined ally character is the same for a predetermined number of times (three times in the present embodiment). ing. That is, the same characters K1 to K4 are not continuously determined as a teammate character for a predetermined number of times (three times in the present embodiment), except when a 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded. For this reason, when the same kind of character appears continuously three or more times as the teammate character, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the confrontation reach effect is executed, the probability change notification for notifying that the probability change effect mode is set when the effect button 26 is operated a plurality of times during a predetermined operation effective period. Production may be performed. This probability change notification effect is composed of multiple stages of notification effects, and after the crisis effect is executed, the notification effects of all stages are executed before the first effect or the second effect ends. Sometimes, the probability change notification effect has been completed. That is, it is shown that the probability variation effect mode is set when the notification effects at all stages are completed.

  The probability change notification effect of the present embodiment is an effect in which the rotatable movable bodies 27a to 27c rotate step by step (one by one). That is, the notification effect is an effect in which the rotatable movable bodies 27a to 27c rotate, and the probability variation effect mode is set when the three-stage notification effect is performed (when all the rotatable movable bodies 27a to 27c are rotated). It is confirmed that The rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c are rotated stepwise in order from the top in the order of the rotary movable body 27a → the rotary movable body 27b → the rotary movable body 27c.

Hereinafter, the control related to the probability change notification effect will be described in detail.
When the variation pattern P3 to P5 in which the crisis effect is included in the effect content is designated, the general CPU 31a refers to the probability change notification effect lottery table T100 and determines the rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103 for specifying the rotation probability. To do. In the probability variation notification effect lottery table T100, as shown in FIG. 15A, the rotation probability specification tables T101 to T103 are associated with the variation patterns P3 to P5, and the rotation probability specification tables T101 to T103 are associated with each other. One or a plurality of random numbers for table distribution are distributed. The table allocation random number is set to a predetermined cycle by the overall CPU 31a so as to be able to take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 509 integers from “0” to “508”). It is updated by incrementing by 1 (every 2 ms). This variation pattern distribution random number is stored in the RAM 31c. As shown in FIG. 15A, when the variation patterns P3 and P5 are specified, the rotation probability specifying table T103 is more easily determined than the rotation probability specifying table T101. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P4 is designated, the rotation probability specifying table T101 is more easily determined than the rotation probability specifying table T103.

  When the general CPU 31a determines the rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103 for specifying the rotation probability with reference to the probability change notification effect lottery table T100, the overall CPU 31a stores the determined table in the RAM 31c. The rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103 are tables for specifying a rotation probability for determining whether or not to rotate each of the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c when the effect button 26 is operated. The rotation probability is associated with each of 27a to 27c (each stage of the notification effect). As shown in FIG. 15B, the rotation probabilities of the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c are set to be different for each table. Specifically, the rotation probability specification table T103 is set to have a lower rotation probability than the rotation probability specification table T101. That is, the rotation probability specifying table T103 is less likely to be executed until the final stage than the rotation probability specifying table T101.

  When the overall CPU 31a stores which of the determined rotation probability identification tables T101 to T103, next, the overall CPU 31a sets an operation valid period based on the designated variation patterns P3 to P5. Specifically, the overall CPU 31a sets the operation effective period from immediately after the crisis effect is ended to before the first effect or the second effect is ended. The overall CPU 31a does not notify that the operation effective period is set even when the operation effective period is set. That is, during the operation valid period, the operation of the effect button 26 is not urged on the variable display H2, and the effect button 26 is not lit.

  Then, when all of the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c are not rotating (when the first stage notification effect is not executed) and the effect button 26 is operated during the operation valid period, The CPU 31a specifies the rotation probability at the first stage with reference to the determined rotation probability specification tables T101 to T103. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to rotate the first rotatable movable body 27a based on the identified first-stage rotation probability. For example, when the overall CPU 31a has determined the rotation probability specifying table T101, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to rotate the first rotating movable body 27a with the first stage rotation probability (19/103).

  When the overall CPU 31a determines to rotate the first rotary movable body 27a, the overall CPU 31a outputs a control signal to rotate the rotary movable body 27a. At the same time, the overall CPU 31a stores that the first rotary movable body 27a has been rotated (stores that the first stage notification effect has been executed).

  In addition, when it is stored that the first rotating movable body 27a is rotated (when the first stage notification effect is executed), and when it is the operation effective period, the effect button 26 is displayed. When operated, the overall CPU 31a refers to the determined rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103 and specifies the rotation probability at the second stage. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to rotate the second rotatable movable body 27b based on the identified second-stage rotation probability. For example, if the overall CPU 31a has determined the rotation probability specifying table T101, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to rotate the second rotatable movable body 27b with the second stage rotation probability (10/103).

  When the overall CPU 31a determines to rotate the second rotatable movable body 27b, the overall CPU 31a outputs a control signal to rotate the rotatable movable body 27b. At the same time, the overall CPU 31a stores that the second rotary movable body 27b is rotated (stores that the second stage notification effect has been executed).

  Next, when it is stored that the second rotary movable body 27a has been rotated (when the second stage notification effect is executed), and when it is the operation effective period, the effect button 26 Is operated, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P4 has been designated. When this determination result is negative, that is, when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the overall CPU 31a invalidates the operation of the effect button 26 and does not rotate the third rotary movable body 27c. That is, by restricting the execution of the third stage notification effect, the completion of the execution of the probability change notification effect is restricted.

  On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (when the variation patterns P3 and P4 are specified), the overall CPU 31a determines the third-stage rotation probability obtained by referring to the determined rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103. Based on this, it is determined whether or not to rotate the third rotary movable body 27c. For example, if the overall CPU 31a has determined the rotation probability specifying table T101, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to rotate the third rotary movable body 27c with the third stage rotation probability (9/103).

  When the overall CPU 31a determines to rotate the third rotary movable body 27c, it outputs a control signal so as to rotate the rotary movable body 27c. At the same time, the overall CPU 31a stores that the third rotary movable body 27c has been rotated (stores that the third stage notification effect has been executed). Thereby, the execution of the probability change notification effect is completed.

  As described above, when the execution of the probability change notification effect is completed (when the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c are all rotated), the player sets the probability change effect mode after the symbol variation game is finished even if the crisis effect is performed. Can be recognized. Therefore, a player who wants to know quickly whether or not the probability variation effect mode is set can be operated and the effect button 26 can be operated, and the interest of the game is improved. Further, since the operation valid period is not notified, the player can meet the expectation of the player who operates the effect button 26 in the expectation that some effect will be executed during the confrontation reach effect.

  Further, since the operation effective period is not notified, the effect button 26 can be operated even if it is outside the operation effective period for a player who wants to execute the probability change notification effect. In addition, since the rotatable movable bodies 27a to 27c rotate stepwise, it is possible to give the player a sense that the production button 26 is being operated and to improve the interest of the game. Even when the variation pattern P5 is designated, the two rotary movable bodies 27a and 27b can be rotated, so that the player can be expected.

  In addition, the rotation probability is set for each stage, and if it is not won, it will not be rotated. For this reason, the production button 26 can be operated more than the number of steps. In addition, when the variation pattern P4 is designated, the rotation probability specification table T101 is more easily determined than the rotation probability specification table T103, and the rotation probability specification table T101 has each stage of the rotation probability specification table T103. The rotation probability of is set high. For this reason, when all the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c rotate with a small number of operations, it can be predicted that a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P4 is being performed.

  Therefore, the overall CPU 31a of the present embodiment serves as an effect mode setting means for setting the effect mode. The overall CPU 31a serves as a probability change notification effect execution means for executing a probability change notification effect.

  In the present embodiment, a notice effect that suggests the possibility that the reach effect is executed in the symbol variation game is executed, and the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not the notice effect can be executed and the contents of the effect based on the change pattern. It comes to decide. In the notice effect, a specific teammate character KY is displayed over a time longer than 3500 ms immediately after the start of the symbol variation game, and a conversation is started (a character string is displayed). Then, when the reach effect is executed, the enemy character K0 is displayed to respond to the conversation (at least to display a character string) before at least the reach symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed. ing. For example, when a specific teammate character KY is displayed with a character string “game” and then an enemy character K0 is displayed with a character string “I will not lose”, a reach effect is executed. By suggesting the feasibility of the reach effect linked to the jackpot in this way, it is suggested that the symbol variation game may be a jackpot in the notice effect.

  Specifically, the overall CPU 31a, when the entrance rate improvement state is given (when the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode is set), the variation patterns P1 to P7 for the hit effect, for the outlier reach effect When the fluctuation pattern P11 or the fluctuation pattern P16 for the off-stage effect is determined, it is determined whether or not the notice effect is to be executed. The overall CPU 31a of the present embodiment always ensures that the variation pattern P1 to P7 for winning effect or the variation pattern P11 for outlier reach effect is determined (that is, when the reach symbol combination is temporarily displayed). The notice effect is executed. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined, the overall CPU 31a executes the notice effect with a predetermined probability.

  In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a displays the variation pattern P16 for the off-stage effect before the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) after the entrance rate improvement state is given. If determined, the notice effect is executed at 20%. On the other hand, the overall CPU 31a, when the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined after the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times in the present embodiment) or more after the entry rate improvement state is given. In this case, the notice effect is executed at 30%.

  In addition, when the previous symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P16 for outlier effect and the notice effect is performed, the overall CPU 31a determines that the variation pattern P16 for outlier effect is determined. However, the execution of the notice effect is not decided. That is, the notice effect is not continuously executed in the symbol variation game in which the reach effect is not executed.

  Then, when the overall CPU 31a determines execution of the notice effect, next, the contents of the effect of the notice effect are determined. Specifically, the overall CPU 31a determines whether or not to make the enemy character K0 appear based on the variation pattern. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a determines that the enemy character K0 appears when the variation patterns P1 to P7 and P11 are determined, while the enemy character K0 when the variation pattern P16 is determined. Decide not to appear.

  At the same time, the overall CPU 31a refers to the conversation table and determines the dialogue of the character to appear. In the conversation table, as shown in FIG. 16, a plurality of types of dialogues are associated with each character, and one or more dialogue selection random numbers are assigned to each dialogue. The dialog selection random number is set by the overall CPU 31a at predetermined intervals (in this embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) in a predetermined numerical range (every 100 integers in this embodiment). 1 is added every 2 ms) and updated. This line selection random number is stored in the RAM 31c. The distribution of line selection random numbers is different for each variation pattern. Therefore, it is possible to predict whether or not a 15R probability variable big hit game or a 7R probability variable big hit game is given depending on the type of conversation.

  The overall CPU 31a does not determine the line of the enemy character K0 because the enemy character K0 does not appear when the variation pattern P16 is determined (see FIG. 16B). When the general CPU 31a determines the contents of the effect of the notice effect (determines whether or not the enemy character K1 appears and the line of the character to appear), the general CPU 31a designates the contents of the effect and instructs the execution of the notice effect. Is output.

  Then, when the opening CPU is input, the overall CPU 31a outputs an opening effect command for specifying the specific effect contents of the opening effect to the control boards 32 to 34 in accordance with the designated variation pattern. Similarly, when the general CPU 31a inputs a round command, the general CPU 31a outputs the round command to the control boards 32-34. In addition, when the ending command is input, the general CPU 31a outputs an ending effect command for specifying the specific effect contents of the ending effect to each of the control boards 32 to 34 according to the gaming state at the time of winning and the specified variation pattern. To do.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described. When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. For example, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decoration symbols are variably displayed with the variation patterns P1 to P17 designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol variation game. Control the content.

  In addition, when the variation patterns P1 to P5 and P11 are designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the fixed stop ornament designated by the inputted ornament design designation command, and is determined by the overall CPU 31a. The display contents of the variable display H2 are controlled so that the teammate character is displayed and the confrontation reach effect is executed.

  Similarly, when the variation patterns P6 to P7 are designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the temporary symbol designated by the inputted temporary symbol designation command, and displays the ally character determined by the overall CPU 31a. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled to display and execute the confrontation reach effect.

  Further, when the variation pattern P8 is designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the provisional symbol designated by the inputted temporary symbol designation command, and inputs the designated variation pattern P8 and the general CPU 31a. Based on the effect execution pattern, the display contents of the variable display H2 are controlled so as to execute the reach effects R1 to R4.

  Further, when the variation pattern P12 is designated, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination based on the fixed stop ornament design designated by the inputted ornament design designation command, and the designated variation pattern P12 and the overall CPU 31a. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to execute the reach effects R1 to R3 based on the effect execution pattern input from.

  In addition, when the variation patterns P6 to P8 are designated, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the temporary symbols designated by the temporary symbol designation command, and then executes the re-variation effect, and then inputs all symbol stop commands. Control is performed so as to display the fixed stop decoration drawing.

  When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbols stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the fixed stop decoration designated by the inputted ornament design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By these controls, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the notice designation command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the notice effect. Moreover, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the opening effect command, the sub CPU 32a executes the opening effect with the effect content specified by the opening effect command. Similarly, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a round command, the sub CPU 32a executes a round effect based on the round command. When the ending effect command is input, the sub CPU 32a causes the ending effect to be executed with the effect content specified by the ending effect command. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31 serve as effect instruction means. Further, the display control board 32 serves as an effect control means.

Next, the production mode of the confrontation reach production will be described based on FIGS.
In FIG. 17, it is assumed that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P6. In addition, it is assumed that [777] is determined as the fixed stop decoration, [222] is determined as the temporary symbol, and the character K3 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that 15R probability variation big hit game is given. In addition, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 emits the dialogue “I will not lose” in the notice effect.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P6 (FIG. 17A). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the overall CPU 31a (FIG. 17B). Specifically, based on the premise, the line (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the line (character string) “do not lose” is displayed together with the enemy character K0. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [2 ↓ 2] based on the variation pattern P6 (FIG. 17 (c)), and then displays the designated teammate character K3 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to make it appear (FIG. 17D). At this time, since the character K3 is displayed as an ally character, the player is highly likely to receive a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game, and is likely to end the probability variation effect mode. Can be recognized.

  Next, based on the variation pattern P6, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the probability change effect that the enemy character K0 defends against the attack of the teammate character K3 (FIG. 17 (e)). )). The player can recognize that the probability variation effect mode is given after the symbol variation game is completed. In addition, since the character K3 is displayed as a teammate character, the player can recognize that there is a high possibility that the 15R probability variation big hit game or 7R probability variation big hit game will be given, and can play the game with a sense of security. it can.

  Then, based on the variation pattern P6, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the first effect indicating that the attack of the teammate character K3 has been successful, the enemy character K0 has fallen, and has won. (FIG. 17 (f)). Accordingly, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is awarded after the symbol variation game is finished.

  Then, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to temporarily stop and display the temporary symbol [222] designated by the temporary symbol designation command based on the variation pattern P6 (FIG. 17 (g)). Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the decorative drawings of all the rows again based on the variation pattern P6, and executes a re-variation effect (FIG. 17 (h)). After that, when the all-symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [777] designated by the decorative design designation command to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 17 ( i)). Thereby, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  In FIG. 18, it is assumed that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P5. Further, description will be made assuming that [212] is determined as the fixed stop decoration drawing and the character K2 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that a 2R non-probability big hit game is given. Further, it is assumed that the teammate character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 produces the dialogue “I can win” in the notice effect.

  Based on the specified variation pattern P5, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start the execution of the symbol variation game (FIG. 18A). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the general CPU 31a (FIG. 18B). Specifically, based on the premise, the dialogue (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the dialogue (character string) “Is it possible to win?” Is displayed together with the enemy character K0. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [2 ↓ 2] based on the variation pattern P5 (FIG. 18C), and then displays the designated teammate character K2 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to cause the change (FIG. 18D).

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute a crisis effect in which the enemy character K0 fights against the attack of the teammate character K2 based on the variation pattern P5 (FIG. 18E). ). The player can recognize that the probability variation effect mode may not be given after the symbol variation game is over.

  Then, based on the variation pattern P5, the sub CPU 32a displays the content displayed on the variable display H2 so as to execute the second effect indicating that the defense of the teammate character K2 has failed and defeated the enemy character K0. Is controlled (FIG. 18 (f)). Thereby, after the symbol variation game is completed, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is not given and the probability variation concealment mode is set.

  When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [212] designated by the decorative symbol designation command. g)). After this, a 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded and the probabilistic hidden mode is set.

  In FIG. 19, it is assumed that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P3. In addition, it is assumed that [777] is determined as the confirmed stop decoration and the character K4 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that a 15R probability variation big hit game is given. In addition, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 emits the dialogue “I will not lose” in the notice effect.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P3 (FIG. 19 (a)). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the general CPU 31a (FIG. 19B). Specifically, based on the premise, the line (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the line (character string) “do not lose” is displayed together with the enemy character. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a displays the reach symbol combination [7 ↓ 7] based on the variation pattern P3 (FIG. 19C), and then displays the designated teammate character K4 to start the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to cause the change (FIG. 19D). At this time, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 7R probability variable big hit game is given because the character K4 is displayed as the teammate character.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute a crisis effect in which the enemy character K0 fights against the attack of the teammate character K4 based on the variation pattern P3 (FIG. 19E). ). At this time, the player can recognize that the 15R probability variation big hit game is given because the decorative drawing constituting the symbol combination of the reach is “7” even though the crisis effect is executed. .

  Based on the variation pattern P3, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the first effect indicating that the attack of the teammate character K4 has been successful, the enemy character K0 has fallen, and has won. (FIG. 19 (f)). After that, when the all symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [777] designated by the decorative symbol designation command to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 19 ( g)).

  In FIG. 20, a description will be given assuming that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P4. In addition, it is assumed that [323] is determined as the confirmed stop decoration and the character K1 is determined as the teammate character. Further, description will be made assuming that the second 2R probability variation big hit game is given. In addition, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the dialogue “game” and the enemy character K0 emits the dialogue “I will not lose” in the notice effect.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start the execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P4 (FIG. 20 (a)). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the overall CPU 31a (FIG. 20B). Specifically, based on the premise, the line (character string) “game” is displayed together with the teammate character KY, and then the line (character string) “do not lose” is displayed together with the enemy character. Thereby, the player can recognize that the reach effect is executed.

  Next, after displaying the reach symbol combination [3 ↓ 3] based on the variation pattern P4 (FIG. 20C), the sub CPU 32a displays the designated ally character K1 and starts the confrontation reach effect. The display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to cause the change (FIG. 20D). At this time, since the character K1 is displayed as an ally character, the player can hardly expect to receive a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game, but is likely to be given a probability variation effect mode. I can recognize that.

  Next, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute a crisis effect in which the enemy character K0 fights against the attack of the teammate character K1 based on the variation pattern P4 (FIG. 20 (e)). ). At this time, the player can recognize that the probability variation effect mode is given because the decorative drawing constituting the symbol combination of the reach is “3” even though the crisis effect is executed.

  Then, based on the variation pattern P4, the sub CPU 32a displays the content displayed on the variable display H2 so as to execute the second effect indicating that the defense of the teammate character K1 is successful against the counterattack of the enemy character K0. Is controlled (FIG. 20 (f)). After that, when the all-symbol stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [323] designated by the decorative design designation command to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 20 ( g)).

  Next, an effect mode when the notice effect is executed when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 21, description is made assuming that the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P16. In addition, the description will be made assuming that [425] is determined as the fixed stop decoration. Further, in FIG. 21, it is assumed that the friendly character KY emits the dialogue “...” in the notice effect and the enemy character K0 does not appear.

  The sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to start the execution of the symbol variation game based on the designated variation pattern P16 (FIG. 21A). At this time, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute the notice effect based on the notice designation command input from the general CPU 31a (FIG. 21B). Specifically, based on the premise, the dialogue (character string) “...” Is displayed together with the teammate character KY. After that, when the all symbols stop command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the fixed stop decoration [425] designated by the decorative symbol designation command so as to be confirmed and stopped (FIG. 21 ( c)).

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P4 is determined, the overall CPU 31a sets an operation effective period based on the determined variation patterns P3 and P4, and the effect button 26 is operated within the operation effective period. If it is determined, it is determined whether or not to execute the probability change notification effect with the execution probability of the probability change notification effect according to the determined variation patterns P3 and P4. For this reason, when the crisis effect indicating that the probability variation state may not be given based on the variation patterns P3 and P4 is executed, the probability change notification effect can be executed by operating the effect button 26. The player can be made to actively operate the effect button 26. In addition, even if it is confirmed that the probability variation state is given by the probability variation notification effect, it is unknown whether a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game that can be expected from the prize ball is given. The player can be paid attention to the game until the end of the variable game.

  (2) Probability change notification effect indicates that the probability change effect mode is set by executing a plurality of types of notification effects in stages according to a predetermined order and executing to a final stage. In the present embodiment, the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c rotate in stages (one by one), and the notification effect is an effect in which the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c rotate. Then, every time the effect button 26 is operated within the operation effective period, the notification effect determined for each stage with reference to the determined rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103 based on the determined variation patterns P3 to P5. The execution probability (rotation probability) is specified, and it is determined whether or not the notification effect at each stage is executed with the rotation probability. Thereby, the production button 26 can be operated more than the number of steps. Further, even if the final stage notification effect is not executed, it can be expected that the probability variation effect mode is set. Further, since the notification effect is executed step by step, the effect can be changed and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (3) The execution probability (rotation probability) at which the notification effect at each stage constituting the probability change notification effect is executed is set such that the probability decreases as the number of notification effect stages to be executed advances (FIG. 5). 15 (b)). As a result, the more advanced the stage of the probability change notification effect, the more difficult it is to execute. Thus, when the notification effect with the advanced stage is executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of achievement. Further, the number of operations of the effect button 26 can be increased without increasing the number of stages of the probability change notification effect.

  (4) The overall CPU 31a can complete the execution of the probability change notification effect with higher probability when the variation pattern P4 is determined than when the variation pattern P3 is determined (see FIG. 15). That is, in the present embodiment, the rotation probability specifying table T101 is more easily determined than the rotation probability specifying table T103 when the changing pattern P4 is determined than when the changing pattern P3 is determined. The rotation probability specifying table T101 is set to have a higher rotation probability at each stage than the rotation probability specifying table T103. Thereby, even if the probability change notification effect is not executed, it can be expected that a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game may be awarded. Further, when the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is not given and the probability variation effect mode is given, the probability variation notification effect is easily executed.

  Further, the overall CPU 31a can complete the execution of the probability change notification effect with higher probability when the variation pattern P4 is determined than when the variation pattern P5 is determined (see FIG. 15). That is, in this embodiment, the rotation probability specifying table T101 is more easily determined than the rotation probability specifying table T103 when the changing pattern P4 is determined than when the changing pattern P5 is determined. The rotation probability specifying table T101 is set to have a higher rotation probability at each stage than the rotation probability specifying table T103. Thereby, even if the probability change notification effect is not executed, it can be expected that a 15R probability variation big hit game or a 7R probability variation big hit game may be awarded. Further, when the 15R probability variation big hit game or the 7R probability variation big hit game is not given and the probability variation effect mode is given, the probability variation notification effect is easily executed.

  (5) Even if the crisis effect is executed based on the fluctuation pattern P5, the notifications at the respective stages constituting the certain change notification effect except for the notification effect at the final stage (the effect that the third rotating movable body 27c rotates). There is a case where an effect is executed (when the first and second rotary movable bodies 27a to 27b rotate). For this reason, it is possible to make the player expect that the probability variation effect mode is set. In addition, if the notification effect at the final stage is not executed, the probability variation effect mode is not always set. Therefore, a tension is given until the notification effect at the final stage is executed, and the notification effect at the final stage is executed. The production button 26 can be operated up to.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the sub CPU 32a may execute a suggestive effect that suggests a teammate character in advance before displaying the teammate character based on the determined teammate character. For example, the background color of the background screen that is easily determined for each of the characters K1 to K4 is determined in advance. Then, the general CPU 31a (or the sub CPU 32a) determines a background color by random lottery, and the sub CPU 32a displays a background screen based on the determined background color. In the confrontation reach production, since the development of the symbol variation game can be predicted by the teammate character, the player is interested in what teammate character is determined. For this reason, it is possible to improve the interest of the game without getting bored of the player by executing the suggestion effect that suggests in advance the friendly character that the player is interested in.

  In the above embodiment, the general CPU 31a or the sub CPU 32a, when the variation patterns P1 and P2 are determined, executes a notification effect that notifies in advance that the probability change confirmed effect is executed before the probability change confirmed effect is executed. May be. When such a notification effect is executed, since the probability change effect mode is given after the symbol variation game ends, it is possible to give the player a sense of security. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the notification effect is executed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the reach effect R4 for determining the big hit is provided, but it may not be provided.
In the above embodiment, in the re-drawing effect, it has been shown whether a big hit game of 7R probable big hit game or 15R probable big hit game is given. May be shown.

In the above embodiment, the re-variation effect need not be executed.
In the above embodiment, the fixed stop decoration may be arbitrarily determined regardless of the type of the final stop symbol.

In the above embodiment, the symbol combination for suggesting probability change may be arbitrarily changed.
In the above embodiment, the appearance probability of the teammate character that appears in the confrontation reach effect is changed based on the variation pattern, but it may not be changed.

○ In the confrontation reach production of the above embodiment, when the character K4 is made to appear as a friend character, the provision of the 15R probability variation big hit game is confirmed, but it need not be confirmed.
In the above embodiment, the same type of teammate character is prevented from appearing three times or more in the confrontation reach effect except when a 15R probability variation big hit game is awarded, but it may appear. Further, the number of times may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the same type of teammate character may not appear more than five times.

  In the above embodiment, when the previous symbol variation game is executed based on the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect and the notice effect is being executed, the general CPU 31a determines that the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is present. Even if determined, the execution of the notice effect is not determined, but may be executed. In addition, the notice effect is not executed twice in succession, but the execution of the notice effect may be restricted for the first time when the predetermined number of times (for example, three times) is continued.

  In the above embodiment, when the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times) or more after the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined, The overall CPU 31a executes the notice effect with high probability, but the probability may not be changed. Further, the predetermined number of times may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be 100 times. In addition, when the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times or more after the probability variation effect mode (or probability variation concealment mode) is set, and the variation pattern P16 for the offending effect is determined, the overall CPU 31a The notice effect may be executed with a high probability.

In the above embodiment, the general CPU 31a is configured to execute the notice effect with a predetermined probability when the variation pattern P16 for the outlier effect is determined, but may be executed without fail.
In the above embodiment, the probability change notification effect is executed step by step, but it may not be executed stepwise. For example, the execution probability of the probability change notification effect may be set for each of the variation patterns P3 to P5, and when the winning pattern is won, all the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c may be rotated.

  In the above embodiment, the overall CPU 31a refers to the probability variation notification effect lottery table T100 based on the variation patterns P3 to P5, determines the rotation probability specification tables T101 to T103, and uses the determined rotation probability specification tables T101 to T103. With reference, the rotation probability of each stage was specified. As another example, the rotation probability of each stage is set in advance for each of the fluctuation patterns P3 to P5, and the overall CPU 31a identifies the rotation probability of each stage based on the fluctuation patterns P3 to P5, and Based on the above, it may be determined whether or not to perform the notification effect. Thereby, it can control easily.

  In the above embodiment, the more advanced the stage of the probability change notification effect, the less likely it is to be executed (the rotation probability is low), but the rotation probability may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be more easily executed (the rotation probability is higher) as the stage of the probability change notification effect progresses.

  In the above embodiment, the overall CPU 31a completes the execution of the probability change notification effect with higher probability when the variation pattern P4 is determined than when the variation pattern P3 is determined. As another example, the probability change notification effect may be completed with higher probability when the variation pattern P3 is determined than when the variation pattern P4 is determined.

  In the above embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines that the variation pattern P4 is in the case where the entry rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game in step S30 of the variation pattern determination process. It was determined. As another example, the main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P2, P4, and P5 when the entry rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game. You may decide. As a result, the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P2, P4, and P5 is easily executed. In addition, there is a case where a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 indicating that the probability variation effect mode is not given is performed at the time of winning the small hit game. For this reason, the probability variation state may be imparted even if the probability variation effect mode is not imparted. Therefore, it can be made to expect that the probability change state is hidden in the player.

  In the above-described embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P11 in the variation pattern determination process in the case where the improved entrance rate state is given as the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect in step S33. As another example, a variation pattern P110 for an outlier reach effect having the same effect content as the variation pattern P2 may be provided and determined in addition to displaying the symbol combination of the outreach reach as the display result. That is, after executing the probability variation finalizing effect, the first effect is executed to indicate that the first jackpot game is not given, and the variation pattern P110 for the outlier reach effect for displaying the outlier reach symbol combination is provided, In step S33, the main CPU 30a may be determined. In addition, the display pattern may be determined by providing a variation pattern P111 for an outlier reach effect having the same content as the variation pattern P5, except that a symbol combination of the dislocation reach is displayed as a display result. That is, after the crisis effect is executed, the second effect is executed to indicate that the first jackpot game is not given and the probability variation effect mode is not given, and the symbol combination of the missed reach is displayed. A variation pattern P111 may be provided so that the main CPU 30a can determine in step S33. The contents of the effects of the variation patterns P11, P110, and P111 for the outlier reach effect are the same as the variation pattern P2, the variation pattern P4, and the variation pattern P5, respectively, except that the game results are different. Thereby, the symbol variation game having the same effect content as the effect content specified by the variation pattern P2, the variation pattern P4, or the variation pattern P5 is easily executed.

  In the above embodiment, even when the variation pattern P5 is specified, when any one of the rotation probability specifying tables T101 to T103 is selected and the third rotating movable body 27c is rotated, the rotation is performed. There was a restriction (regulation of the third stage notification effect). As another example, a rotation probability specifying table in which the probability of rotating the third rotatable movable body 27c is 0% (which is regulated from the beginning) is prepared in advance. In this case, the rotation probability specifying table may be selected. In this way, control for regulating can be omitted.

  In the above embodiment, when the outlier reach effect is executed during the probability variation effect mode, or when the small hit game is awarded, or when the second 2R probability variable big hit game is awarded, or the third 2R probability change When the big hit game is awarded, the overall CPU 31a may rotate all the rotary movable bodies 27a to 27c in accordance with the operation of the effect button 26 (the probability change notification effect may be executed). On the other hand, in the probability variation concealment mode, when the second 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded or when the third 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded, the overall CPU 31a performs all operations according to the operation of the effect button 26. The rotary movable body 27a to the rotary movable body 27c may be rotated (probability notification effect may be executed).

  In the above embodiment, the general CPU 31a sets the normal mode when the provision of the entrance rate improvement state is completed when the probability variation concealment mode is set. As an example of this, the general CPU 31a The normal mode may be set when the sphere improvement state and the probability variation state are not given.

  In the embodiment described above, the main CPU 30a determines that the variation pattern P5 if the entrance rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the hit effect corresponding to the small hit game in step S30 of the variation pattern determination process. It was determined. As another example, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P2, P4, and a variation pattern P2, P4 in the probability variation performance mode when the entrance rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for the winning effect corresponding to the small hit game. The variation pattern may be determined from P5. As a result, the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P2, P4, and P5 is easily executed. In addition, there is a case where a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P5 indicating that the probability variation effect mode is not given is performed at the time of winning the small hit game. For this reason, the probability variation state may be imparted even if the probability variation effect mode is not imparted. Therefore, it can be made to expect that the probability change state is hidden in the player. Further, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P5 during the probability variation concealment mode when the entrance rate improvement state is given as the variation pattern for winning effect corresponding to the small hit game.

  In the above embodiment, the main CPU 30a may output the common variation pattern P200 when the small hit game is given during the probability variation effect mode or the probability variation concealment mode or when the outlier reach effect is executed. Good. In this case, when the fluctuation pattern P200 is designated, the general CPU 31a changes the specific content of the confrontation reach effect according to the set effect mode, and controls the content of the confrontation reach effect. This is specified for the substrates 32-34. That is, when the fluctuation pattern P200 is designated, the general CPU 31a is drawn in the confrontation reach effect if the probability change effect mode is in effect, and indicates that the probability change effect mode is set continuously (variation pattern). The content corresponding to P4) is designated as the production content of the confrontation reach production. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern P200 is designated, the general CPU 31a loses in the confrontation reach effect if the probability variation concealment mode is in effect, and indicates that the probability variation concealment mode is continuously set (variation pattern). The content corresponding to P5) is designated as the production content of the confrontation reach production.
