For this reason, the player pays attention to the display content of the effect display device 22 in which display effects are performed with various images in front of his / her eyes rather than the special symbol display device 23, and in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22. A big hit or a loss is recognized from the symbol combination that is derived and displayed in a fixed stop state. When the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22 are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result) by a decorative symbol. 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, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 22 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination (for example, [010]) is displayed among the symbol combinations of decorative symbols, it can be recognized that the winner has been won. A predetermined symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot game is a symbol combination that suggests the possibility of a probability variation state being given.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols are variably displayed along the predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) in each column of the effect display device 22 when the symbol variation game is started. Then, when the symbol variation game starts (when the decorative symbols 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 effect display device 22 The decorative symbols 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 the same symbol, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, the decorative symbols of the specific columns (left column and right column in the present embodiment) among the plurality of columns are temporarily displayed as the same symbols, and columns other than the specific column (in the present embodiment, the middle column) ) Is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first displays the decorative symbols is the first stop display column, and the right column that displays the decorative symbols is then stopped. It becomes the second stop display row, and finally, the middle row where the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed is the third stop display row.

  The effect display device 22 is configured to display a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 23. The special symbol displayed on the special symbol display device 23 and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 22 correspond to each other. When the symbol variation game ends, the special symbol and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol correspond to each other. The fixed stop is displayed. For example, when the big win symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 23, the symbol combination such as [222] and [444] is also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 22 in principle. ing. In addition, when the special symbol display device 23 is confirmed and stopped, the symbol combination such as [121] or [345] is also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 22. . In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and a symbol combination with one decorative symbol is selected from among symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative symbols with respect to one special symbol. Yes. As described above, in the effect display device 22 of the present embodiment, a display effect related to the symbol variation game (a symbol variation game in which symbols in three columns are variably displayed to display a combination of symbols) is performed. .

On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, among the decorative symbols displayed on the effect display device 22, jackpot symbol combinations [000], [222], [444], [666] configured by even symbols. And [888] are set as a symbol combination (a probability variation non-determined jackpot symbol) that can definitely recognize a non-probable variation jackpot. That is, the symbol combination [111], [333], [555], [777], and [999] of the jackpot with the decorative symbols can be derived in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22 when the probability variation jackpot is determined. It is considered as a combination. Further, the combinations [000], [222], [444], [666], and [888] of the big hits with decorative symbols can be derived in the symbol change game of the effect display device 22 when the uncertain variable big hit is determined. It is considered as a combination.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter, referred to as “variable shortening”). The variable speed function shortens the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, and the lottery probability state of the normal symbol variation game based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 30 (winning probability per normal) is higher than the low probability lottery state. This is a function for giving a variable state changing to a lottery state as a privilege. In addition, the open / close blades 27 of the lower start winning opening 26 are opened and closed with different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game when the variable state is given and when the variable state is not given. It is like that. That is, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is not given, the first and second opening times (for example, 300 ms) after the opening and closing blades 27 are opened for the first number of times (for example, one time). ) It keeps open until it passes. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is given, the number of times the opening and closing blades 27 are opened (for example, three times) is increased to a second number greater than the first number, The opening state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1800 ms) longer than the first opening time elapses after the opening in one opening. In other words, the open / close blade 27 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the variable state is not applied. During the variable speed state, the opening / closing blade 27 operates favorably for the player, and the rate of entry of game balls into the lower start winning opening 26 per unit time is improved. Become. The variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are played, or until a big hit occurs before the number of games is reached. That is, the variable state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached.

  In the present embodiment, the variable state that increases the opening time per unit time of the opening and closing blades 27 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time increasing state. On the other hand, the non-changeable state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 27 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time non-increasing state. It should be noted that during the variable speed state (open time increasing state), the total time for which the opening / closing blades 27 are opened by one ordinary figure increases compared to the non-short time state.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one kind of big hit game is determined from the three types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. . Of the three types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into three types: symbol A, symbol B, and symbol C, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, it is difficult for the player to recognize which of the symbols A, B, and C the special symbol is classified by classifying a plurality of special symbols for each of the symbols A, B, and C. doing.

  For example, 52 types of jackpot symbols belong to symbol A, 25 types of jackpot symbols belong to symbol B, and 23 types of jackpot symbols belong to symbol C. When special symbols are distributed in this way, the jackpot game based on symbol A is 52% (52/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on symbol B is 25% (25/100) of the entire jackpot, The jackpot game based on the pattern C is 23% (23/100) of the entire jackpot. A predetermined number of jackpot symbols belong to these symbols A, B, and C, respectively. The ratio at which each jackpot game is awarded is determined by the ratio of the jackpot symbol belonging to each of the symbols A, B, and C.

  In the jackpot game based on the pattern A, the specified number of rounds is set to “15”, and the jackpot 29 is opened “one time” during one round game. Times (1 round x 15 times) ". In addition, the jackpot game based on the design A has an opening effect time of “6 seconds (6000 (ms))” and a round game time of each round game of “25 seconds (25000 (ms))” as an ending effect time. “15 seconds (15000 (ms))” is set. In addition, the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game in the big hit game based on the pattern A is set to “8 balls”. And after the big hit game based on the symbol A, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a probable change state (no limit (until the next big hit)) and a variable state are given until the end of the probable change state It has come to be. In FIG. 3, the case where the variable state is given until the end of the certain variable state is described as “no limit”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A may be referred to as “15R probability variable jackpot game”.

  In addition, in the big hit game based on the design B, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big winning opening 29 is opened “one time” during one round game, so that the big winning opening 29 is opened during the big hit game. “2 times (1 round × 2 times)” is opened. In addition, the jackpot game based on the design B has “0.02 seconds (20 (ms))” as the opening effect time, and “0.3 seconds (300 (ms))” as the round game time of each round game. “4.5 seconds (4500 (ms))” is set as the ending effect time. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the jackpot game based on the symbol B is set to “8 balls”. After the big hit game based on the symbol B, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable change state (no limit (until the next big hit)) and the end of the probable change state are changed after the big hit game ends. There are cases where a state is given and cases where only a probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol B may be referred to as “2R probability variable jackpot game”.

  In addition, the jackpot game based on the symbol C is the same as the jackpot game based on the symbol A, with the specified number of rounds and the opening mode of the big prize opening 29, the opening effect time, the round game time of each round game, and the ending effect time. I have to. After the jackpot game based on the symbol C is finished, an uncertain change state is given regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, while the variable game is changed for 100 times (maximum value) of the symbol variation game. A state is given. In other words, the jackpot game based on the symbol C is given a variable state until the symbol variable game is played 100 times after the big hit game is finished, but the symbol variable game from the 101st time is given a variable state. Disappear. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol C may be referred to as “15R non-probable variable jackpot game”.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol A and the jackpot game based on the symbol C are different depending on whether or not a limit is imposed on the number of symbol variable games to which the shortage state is given. Are set to be the same. For this reason, comparing the jackpot game based on the symbol A and the jackpot game based on the symbol C, the bonus game based on the symbol A to which the variable state is given without a limit (until the next jackpot) is changed to the symbol C. It is more advantageous for the player than the big hit game based on.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot game based on the symbols A and C (15R probability variable big hit game and 15R non-probable variable jackpot game) and the jackpot game based on the symbol B (2R probability variable big hit game) are round games constituting the jackpot game. The upper limit number of times (15 times and 2 times) is different, and due to the length of one round game time, there may be a difference in the number of prize balls that can be obtained by a player in one big hit game. Specifically, in this embodiment, the jackpot game based on the symbols A and C is a jackpot game that can obtain a larger amount of prize balls than the jackpot game based on the symbol B.

  The prize ball is a game ball that is given as a prize to the player for one ball entering the big prize opening 29. In the comparison with the jackpot game based on the above-described symbols A and C, the small number of winning balls is a small amount in the case of comparing the total number of winning balls obtained until the end of the jackpot game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, “13 balls” of game balls are set to be paid out as a prize ball for one ball entering the grand prize opening 29. If the upper limit number of balls is set to “8 balls” and “8 balls” game balls enter the big prize opening, the game balls of “104 balls” are paid out as prize balls. Become.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, among the big hit games, the “country production effect” that is a cumulative change effect that can be cumulatively changed every time the 15R probability variable big hit game is given is related to the 15R probability variable big hit game. And can be executed during the jackpot game. Specifically, while the variable state continues, the contents of the previous “country production” will be taken over, and with the grant of 15R probable big hit game after the first time, The production contents of "production" are changed cumulatively. The first 15R probability variable big hit game is the first 15R probability variable big hit game given under the condition that the variable state continues without interruption, and the first 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time The 15R probability variable big hit game after the 15R probability variable big hit game. In addition, the content of the previous “country effect” is based on the previous 15R probability variation big hit game, and there is a case where a 15R non-probability big hit game or a 2R probability variable big hit game is sandwiched between them. On the other hand, in the non-variable state after the variable speed state is finished, the content of the “country production effect” is set as the default content (predetermined in advance) without taking over the content of the previous “country production effect” in principle. Production contents). “Country production effect” as a cumulative change effect allows the player to recognize the number of consecutive resorts (number of grants) for the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time under the condition that the game in the variable state continues. It is a production performed for this purpose.

  The “country production effect” is an effect that is performed with a predetermined execution timing as the execution execution time of the ending effect in the 15R probability variation big hit game. The “country production effect” is performed in an effect mode in which the territory of the home country is increased by obtaining a total of 30 enemy countries one by one. That is, the “country taking effect” has “0 country” based on the first 15R probability variable big hit game as the initial stage, and thereafter, the “countered country” becomes the final stage by repeating the number of 15R probability variable big hit games. It is performed in a production manner that changes cumulatively over a plurality of stages from “0 country” to “nationally unified (30 countries)” with “nationally unified (30 countries)” as the upper limit of change. In the present embodiment, the “country taking effect” is an image display of “the country type being suppressed (suppression country type image W2)” together with the “countering country number (suppressed country number image W1)” on the effect display device 22. Thus, the game is performed in such a manner that the number of consecutive resorts (not including the first 15R probability variation big hit game) after the first 15R probability variation big hit game is notified to the player. In the “country production effect” of the present embodiment, under the condition where the variable state continues (between various various big hit games), the “country control country number” is the content of the last “country production effect”. ”And“ the types of countries that are under control ”, the number and types of countries that will be their territory will change cumulatively.

  In the 15R probability variation big hit game after the first time, the first to fifteenth round games, for example, effects such as battles for acquiring enemy countries across these round games are developed. . Further, in the first 15R probability variation big hit game, the same effects as the 15R probability variation big hit game after the first round may be performed in the first to fifteenth round games, or in different aspects.

  In the present embodiment, the “country effect” is not executed in the 15R non-probable big hit game or the 2R probable big hit game. As for the 2R probable big hit game, one of the reasons is that there is not a sufficient production time for executing the “country production effect”. In other words, in this embodiment, the “country production effect” is developed in accordance with the performance execution time of the ending effect of the 15R probability variation big hit game, so the “domestic effect” effect time is set to 15 seconds (15000 (ms). )) It is fairly determined. For this reason, in the 2R probability variation big hit game in which only 4.5 seconds (4500 (ms)) is defined as the effect time of the ending effect, a sufficient effect time cannot be secured. In the 15R non-probable big hit game and the 2R probable big hit game, both the “suppressed country (suppressed country number image W1)” and the “suppressed country type (suppressed country type image W2)” are not displayed. Become. Further, in the 15R non-probable big hit game and the 2R probable big hit game, predetermined effects are developed in the first to fifteenth round games. If the 15R non-probable big hit game or 2R probable big hit game is granted while the variable state continues, the "country production" will not be executed but the previous "country production" will be unconditional. It can be taken over as it is, and the contents of the production can be taken over to the “country production” in the subsequent 15R probable big hit game. For this reason, the “country effect” as the cumulative change effect is a 15R probability variable big hit game even when a 15R non-probable big hit game or a 2R positive variable big hit game is sandwiched on the way under the condition that the game in the variable state continues. The player is preferably made aware of the number of consecutive resorts.

According to this embodiment, the “country production effect” is developed in the manner shown in FIG.
In the “country production effect”, the effect display device 22 displays the suppressed country number image W1 and the suppressed country type image W2 in accordance with the ending effect. Then, in the effect display device 22, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (f), the suppression country image W1 is "country start (0 country)" every time the effect of the "country effect" is taken over. (FIG. 4 (a)) → “1 country” (FIG. 4 (b)) → “2 countries” (FIG. 4 (c)). Subsequently, the effect display device 22 changes in order after “FIG. 4C” (“3 countries” to “27 countries”), “28 countries” (FIG. 4D) → “29 countries”. (FIG. 4 (e)) → “National integration (30 countries)” (FIG. 4 (f)). Further, in the effect display device 22, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4F, as the suppression country number image W1 changes, the suppression country type image W2 changes so that the number of colored countries increases. . In the effect display device 22, as the suppressed country number image W1 and the suppressed country type image W2 change, the colored portion increases and the territory of the home country expands, and finally all the enemy countries become colored. Becomes the territory of its own country. In the present embodiment, in the suppression country type image W2, the enemy country at the colored position (type) is notified as the suppression country K1 and the enemy country at the non-colored position (type) is still available. Notifying as no unsuppressed country K0. 4A shows a state in which the suppression country K1 is zero and no country is in control, and FIG. 4B shows a state in which the suppression country K1 is one, FIG. 4C Indicates that the suppression country K1 is in two countries. FIG. 4 (d) shows a state in which the suppression country K1 newly indicated by a broken line is suppressed and the uncontrolled country K0 is two countries (the suppression country K1 is 28 countries), and FIG. 4 (e) is a new broken line. The control country K1 shown by (1) is controlled and the non-control country K0 is 1 country (suppression country K1 is 29 countries). FIG. 4 (f) shows a “nationally unified” state in which the suppression country K1 newly indicated by a broken line is controlled, the non-control country K0 is 0, and all 30 enemy countries are controlled.

  In addition, at the stage of stage production of the opening stage, the 15R probable big hit game in the short-running state is targeted based on the contents of the production of the “country production stage” that was taken over last time. Image W3) ”is notified. In addition, regarding the “countered country number (suppressed country number image W3)”, notification is performed for 15R probability change big hit games for the second and subsequent times under the condition that the variable state continues. In addition, during the opening stage, when the first 15R probable big hit game is targeted, the contents of the previous “country production” will not be taken over in principle. W3) ”is not notified.

  In addition, at the stage of the stage of the opening stage production, the content of the last “Country production stage” will not be handed over in principle for the 15R probable big hit game in the non-changed state. The number of completed countries image W3) ”is not notified. For this reason, at the stage of performing the opening effect, the number of 15R probability variable big hit games after the first time given in the meantime, under the condition that the game in the variable state continues, Target jackpot game is not included). “Countered country count (Countered country count image W3)” gives the player the number of consecutive resorts (the number of grants that do not include the first and target 15R probability variable big hit games) for the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time. It is an effect performed to make it recognize.

  In addition, for the 15R non-probable big hit game and the 2R probable big hit game, the "countered country number (suppressed country number image W3)" is not notified. In addition, regarding the 2R probability variation big hit game, one of the reasons is that a sufficient time is not set as the stage time of the opening effect. In other words, in this embodiment, the “countered number of countries” is developed in accordance with the stage of execution of the opening effect of the 15R probable big hit game. (6000 (ms)) equivalent. For this reason, in the 2R probability variation big hit game in which only 0.02 seconds (20 (ms)) is defined as the stage effect of the opening stage, it is not possible to secure a sufficient stage time.

According to this embodiment as described above, “the number of suppressed countries” is notified in the manner shown in FIG.
In the effect display device 22, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the first 15R probability variable big hit game or the 15R probability variable big hit game or 15R non-probable big hit game given during the non-variable short state is started, the opening effect Will display “big hit”. Further, in the effect display device 22, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the 15R probability variation big hit game after the second time is started, the suppression is performed based on the contents of the “country effect” inherited in the opening effect. The completed country number image W3 is displayed. For example, in the case where the previous “country production effect” is in the form shown in FIG. 4D, in the 15R probability variation big hit game in the case of taking over the content of the previous “country production effect”, the suppressed country image W3. Will display “Suppressed 28 countries”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the “country effect” can be executed, so that the game for the 15R probability change big hit game rengo after the first time under the condition that the game in the variable state continues. It comes to grant. In other words, in this embodiment, a bonus is given to the player by a change in the content of the “country production effect”, and a bonus is obtained as long as the country for 30 countries is obtained by a change in the content of the “national unification”. A privilege is given to the player for playing the game together.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, even in the non-variable state, the previous “country effect” is performed in the same manner as in the variable state by satisfying a specific continuation condition. The composition which can take over the production contents of is adopted. In other words, in this embodiment, during the non-changeable state, in principle, the content of the previous “country production effect” is not taken over. It is possible to take over the production contents of "Production". In such a case, when the “country production effect” is executed, the suppressed country number image W1 and the suppressed country type image W2 are displayed in a manner in which the effect contents of the previous “country effect” are taken over. . In this way, under the condition of satisfying a specific continuation condition, although it is the first 15R probability variation big hit game, the contents of the “country production effect” may be developed with the effect contents after the first time instead of the first time. For this reason, in the present embodiment, under the condition that the variable state continues in principle, while giving the player the privilege of the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time to the player, There is an opportunity for a player who could not get a big hit game to get a privilege equivalent to having a big hit game in a variable state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 15R non-probable big hit game is given during the non-variable short state, so that the player enters the short state again. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 15R non-probable big hit game, which is a trigger for entering the variable state, is awarded during the non-variable state, during the stage execution period of these opening effects. The specific continuation condition is established on the condition that a valid operation of the effect operation button BT as the condition setting means is detected a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). When a specific continuation condition is satisfied, if the 15R probability variable big hit game is an opportunity, the content of the previous “country production effect” is taken over for the big hit game. In addition, when a specific continuation condition is satisfied, if the 15R non-probable big hit game is triggered, the contents of the previous “country effect” can be taken over for the subsequent 15R probable big hit game. Regarding the 2R probability variable big hit game, even if the 2R probability variable big hit game is given during the non-variable short state, the contents of the previous “country effect” will be unconditionally targeted for the subsequent 15R probability variable big hit game. It is possible to take over. One of the reasons for this is that a sufficient time is not set as the stage time of the opening effect. That is, in this embodiment, since the operation of the effect operation button BT requires a plurality of operations to establish a specific continuation condition, only 0.02 seconds (20 (ms)) is defined as the effect time of the opening effect. In the probable big hit game, it is not possible to secure sufficient time for operating the operation button BT for performance.

  Also, in the present embodiment, when the specific continuation condition can be established, after the start of the symbol variation game that is a big hit, the stage execution timing (timing) of the opening effect in which the big hit symbol combination is derived and the big hit can be recognized Therefore, it was set to be during the production execution time (timing) of the ending production that determines the production execution time of the “country production production”. For this reason, in the target jackpot game, it is possible to set a specific continuation condition after the start and before the execution time of the “country production effect”, so that the player who is currently playing the game A specific continuation condition can be established for the big hit game obtained. In addition, as in this embodiment, even if various jackpot games are given during the changing state, it is not changed under the specification that the contents of the “country production” of the previous jackpot game are inherited unconditionally. It is only necessary to establish a specific continuation condition when necessary in a short state.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 35 as a main control device for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 35 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 and performs arithmetic processing on control signals (control commands) as various control commands for controlling the game according to the processing results. The control signal (control command) is output. Further, a sub-integrated control board 36, an effect display control board 37, and a sound / lamp control board 38 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. In the present embodiment, the sub control device is constituted by the sub general control board 36, the effect display control board 37, and the sound / lamp control board 38.

  The sub integrated control board 36 comprehensively controls the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 35. The effect display control board 37 controls the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 22 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36. To do. Also, the sound / lamp control board 38 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub control board 36, and the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting timings) of the various lamp units 16a to 16c. And the audio output mode (timing of audio output, etc.) of the speakers 17a to 17c.

  In addition, on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a power source for the game hall (for example, AC 24V) is supplied to the gaming machine components such as the control boards 35 to 38 constituting the pachinko gaming machine 10 and various effect devices. A substrate 39 is mounted. The power board 39 has a power switch (not shown) and a power cord (not shown) connected to the power source of the game arcade, and each control board 35 to 35 which is various game components of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Power is supplied to 38 (game machine component). The power supply board 39 is connected to a power-off monitoring circuit (not shown), a reset signal circuit (not shown), and a backup power supply (not shown). The power-off monitoring circuit outputs a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage has dropped to each of the control boards 35 to 38 when the power supply voltage drops below the reference voltage. In addition, the reset signal circuit outputs a reset signal to each of the control boards 35 to 38 at the start of power supply (when power is turned on (when the power switch is turned on) or when power is restored after a power failure) The operation of each of the control boards 35 to 38 is regulated. The backup power supply supplies power for the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) to execute backup processing when the power supply voltage is cut off from the reference voltage. The backup power source is connected to the main control board 35 (main control RAM 35c). The backup power source is composed of, for example, a capacitor. Also, in the backup process, when the power is shut down, various control information related to the gaming state such as whether the lottery probability of the big hit lottery at that time is a low probability state or a high probability state, or whether or not a variable state is given Is stored and held in the main control board 35 (main control RAM 35c). In the present embodiment, the start of power supply by turning on the power is when power supply is started when the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on. In addition, the start of power supply by returning from a power failure due to a power failure is a case where the power supply is recovered while the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is on.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 35, the sub-integrated control board 36, and the effect display control board 37 will be described.
On the main control board 35, a main control CPU 35a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 35b for storing a control program of the main control CPU 35a, and necessary data can be written and read. A main control RAM 35c is provided. A main control ROM 35b and a main control RAM 35c are connected to the main control CPU 35a. The main control CPU 35a has an upper start switch SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize opening 25, and a lower start port SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize opening 26. It is connected. The main control CPU 35a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 29 and a normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 30. .

  A special symbol display device 23 and a special symbol hold storage display device Ra are connected to the main control CPU 35a via a symbol display board 40. Further, a normal symbol display device 24 and a normal symbol hold storage display device Rb are connected to the main control CPU 35a via a symbol display board 40. The symbol display board 40 is mounted at a position corresponding to the special symbol display device 23, the special symbol hold storage display device Ra, the normal symbol display device 24, and the normal symbol hold storage display device Rb.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a updates the values of various random numbers such as the big hit determination random number every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 35c before updating. Has been rewritten. Further, the main control CPU 35a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main control CPU 35a stores (sets) various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control ROM 35b. In addition to the main control program, a plurality of types of variation patterns are stored in the main control ROM 35b. The variation pattern is displayed in the symbol display game 22 and the special symbol display device 23 after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start, and then the symbol display game 22 and the special symbol display device 23 are determined and stopped. The pattern used as the base of the game effect (display effect, light emission effect, audio | voice effect) until is complete | finished is shown. That is, the variation pattern can specify the effect contents and the effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special symbol starts to vary until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. Then, the variation patterns are classified for each variation content including a jackpot effect (for jackpot effect (for jackpot variation)), an outlier reach effect (for outlier reach variation), and an outlier effect (for normal variation).

  The jackpot effect performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is a jackpot effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally reaches the symbol combination of the jackpot through the reach effect. Further, the outlier reach effect performed based on the fluctuation pattern for the outlier reach effect is an effect developed so that the symbol change game finally reaches the final symbol combination after the reach effect. Further, the outlier effect performed based on the fluctuation pattern for 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. In the reach effect, in the symbol variation game with the decorative pattern of the effect display device 22, after the reach symbol combination is formed, the symbol combination (the jackpot symbol combination or the off symbol combination) is finally derived. It is an effect performed in In the special symbol display device 23, when the symbol variation game is started, the variation of the symbol is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect. Further, the off-line effect performed based on the fluctuation pattern for out-of-line effect changes after the start of the symbol variation game in accordance with a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column). This is an off-line effect that stops and draws symbols to each column.

  The main control ROM 35b stores a big hit determination value. The big hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the big jackpot lottery (big hit judgment) whether or not the big hit, from among the numerical values (all 1471 kinds of integers from 0 to 1470) that can be taken by the random number for the big hit judgment for the special symbol It has been established. In addition, the big hit judgment value is a big hit judgment value for low probability used in the big hit lottery when the gaming state is non-probable change state (low probability lottery state), and a big hit when the gaming state is probable change state (high probability lottery state) There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the lottery. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (36 in this embodiment) is set larger than the number of jackpot determination values in the non-probability variation state (four in this embodiment). For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit in the big hit lottery in the non-probable variation state is 4/1471 (= 1367.75), and the big hit lottery in the promiscuous state is a big hit. The probability of winning is 36/1471 (= 40.86 / 1). The main control RAM 35c stores a big hit determination random number used for the big hit determination. In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination random number is acquired when a game ball wins each start winning opening 25, 26. The main control RAM 35c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of a special symbol that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special symbol is assigned a predetermined number (one in the present embodiment) of random numbers for special symbol distribution, and the main control CPU 35a determines when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the acquired random number for special map distribution. The special control distribution random number is predetermined by the main control CPU 35a so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers from “0” to “99”). Each time period (every 2 ms) is incremented by one and updated. Then, the main control CPU 35a stores the updated value in the main control RAM 35c as the special figure distribution random number value, and rewrites the already stored special figure distribution random number value. The random numbers for minutes are updated sequentially. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random numbers are acquired when a game ball is won at each of the start winning ports 25 and 26.

  The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 35b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to execute a shift reach effect when determining a loss, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). It is determined from the integers of the street). The main control RAM 35c stores reach determination random numbers used for reach determination. In the present embodiment, the reach determination random number is acquired at the time of reach determination.

  Further, the main control ROM 35b stores a standard hit value. The determination value per common figure is a determination value used in the internal lottery (lottery per common figure) whether or not per common figure, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for determination per general figure (all 107 different integers from 0 to 106). ). It should be noted that the number of determination values per common map varies depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and the number of standard figure judgment values when the variable state is assigned (in this embodiment, 106 Is set to be larger than the number of determination values per common figure when the variable state is not given (two in this embodiment). In addition, the main control RAM 35c stores a random number for determining the universal symbol used when determining the universal symbol. In the present embodiment, the random number for determining per common figure is acquired when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 30.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
On the sub-general control board 36, an overall control CPU 36a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 36b for storing an overall control program of the overall control CPU 36a, and writing and reading of necessary data An overall control RAM 36c is provided. The overall control CPU 36a is connected to the overall control ROM 36b and the overall control RAM 36c. The overall control CPU 36a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). In addition, a production operation button BT is connected to the overall control CPU 36a, and a detection signal can be input from the production operation button BT. That is, the overall control CPU 36a can detect that the effect operation button BT has been operated. In addition to the overall control program, the overall control ROM 36b stores various tables to be referred to when determining various effects. Details of the various tables will be described later.

Next, the effect display control board 37 will be described.
On the effect display control board 37, a display control CPU 37a capable of executing a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 37b for storing a display control program of the display control CPU 37a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A display control RAM 37c is provided. An effect display device 22 is connected to the display control CPU 37a. Further, the display control CPU 37a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The display control ROM 37b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the effect display control board 37 will be described.
First, the main control board 35 will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that executes the following various processes based on the main control program functions as a big hit lottery means, an operation state determination means, and a state control means.

First, processing when power is turned off and when power supply is started will be described.
When the power cut-off signal from the power supply board 39 (power supply monitoring circuit) is inputted, the main control CPU 35a executes an infinite loop until the power is cut off. After the power cut off, the main control CPU 35a uses the backup power supply for the main control. Power is supplied to the RAM 35c, and the stored contents of the main control RAM 35c when the power is turned off are saved as backup data. The backup data is the content stored in the main control RAM 35c when the power is cut off, such as when the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned off or during a power failure, and the gaming state is in a probable state. Various control information such as whether the state is indeterminate or not is stored.

  In addition, the main control CPU 35a is triggered by the power supply monitoring circuit having a power supply voltage that exceeds the reference voltage due to power-on (when the power switch is turned on) or recovery from power failure due to a power failure in the pachinko gaming machine 10. At the start of power supply (when power is restored), a reset signal from the reset signal circuit mounted on the power supply board 39 is input. When the reset signal is input, the main control CPU 35a waits for activation, is activated after execution of a predetermined process, and is set to be in a state where the game can be controlled (a state where the symbol variation game can be controlled). Perform initial setting processing. Then, the main control CPU 35a sub-controls a startup command indicating that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on (power switch is turned on) or a power recovery command indicating that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is recovered from a power failure. Output to the control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a). The startup command is a command that is output first after the main control CPU 35a is started, and is a command for performing various settings according to instructions from the main control CPU 35a. The power recovery command is a command that is output when the power supply is restored after a power failure due to a power failure, and is a command for performing various settings according to instructions from the main control CPU 35a. With this startup command or power recovery command, each control board 36 to 38 performs startup processing for performing various settings for the state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in accordance with instructions from the main control CPU 35a.

  Then, in the initial setting process, the main control CPU 35a sets a state in which a game can be performed based on various control information stored (set) as backup data in the main control RAM 35c. That is, the main control CPU 35a instructs whether or not the game state is a probable change state according to the various control information, and sets the change state grant mode in order to make the game ready based on the various control information. Various control commands to be instructed are output to the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a). For example, when the control information indicating that the gaming state is in the probable change state is stored as backup data when the power is turned off, the main control CPU 35a sets the gaming state in a state in which the game in the probable state can be performed by the initial setting process. The main control CPU 35a outputs a probability change command for instructing the sub-general control board 36 (general control CPU 36a) to start the probability change state when the game state is changed to a state in which the game state can be performed by the initial setting process. It is like that.

Next, processing related to the control of the symbol variation game will be described.
When the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 receives a game ball into the upper start winning port 25 or the lower start winning port 26 and inputs a detection signal output from the start port switches SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 35c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for special symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 to the number of reserved memories for special symbols (+1), and sets the number of reserved memories for special symbols. rewrite. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. For example, when the number of reserved memories for the special symbol after rewriting is “3”, the main control CPU 35a lights up three reserved lamps. When the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a obtains the jackpot determination random number value and the special figure distribution random value from the main control RAM 35c, and holds the values for the special symbol hold. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the number of memories. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the reserved memory count for the special symbol exceeding the upper limit number, and the value of the random number for jackpot determination Neither the special figure distribution random value is acquired.

  The main control CPU 35a reads the value of the big hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the big hit stored in the main control ROM 35b. The determination value is compared, and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a big hit game. In the big hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the big hit determination value for the low probability with the value of the random number for the big hit determination when the gaming state is an uncertain change state (the probability of winning is low), and the gaming state Is a probability variation state (the probability of winning is high), the high probability jackpot determination value is compared with the value of the jackpot determination random number. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for big hit determination and the big hit determination value match), the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 35a which has determined the big hit reads out the value of the special figure distribution random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c, and is a symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device 23 based on the value. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each type of jackpot game as described above, the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit acquires the random value for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines the fluctuation pattern for the big hit effect based on the acquired value.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a determines a deviation when the determination result of the jackpot determination is negative (the value of the random number for jackpot determination does not match the jackpot determination value). Then, the main control CPU 35a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the special symbol display device 23. In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the deviation acquires the random value for reach determination from the main control RAM 35c, compares the acquired value with the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b, and determines the error. Reach determination is performed to determine whether or not to execute reach production.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (execution of an outlier reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 35a acquires a random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value. In addition, the variation pattern for the outlier reach production is selected and determined. On the other hand, if the reach determination result is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main control CPU 35a acquires the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value, A variation pattern for off-line production is selected and determined.

  The main control CPU 35a having determined the special symbol and the variation pattern generates a predetermined control command, and outputs the generated control command to the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) at a predetermined timing. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a generates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game, and first outputs the variation pattern designation command at the start of the symbol variation game. . Further, the main control CPU 35a generates a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol that designates a special symbol, and outputs the stop symbol designation command next after outputting the variation pattern designation command. Then, the main control CPU 35a generates a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, and the symbol stop command is changed to the variation symbol. Output as time passes.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. Further, the main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 23 with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and confirms and stops the special symbol (big hit symbol or missing symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Display.

Next, processing related to the jackpot game will be described.
When determining the jackpot, the main control CPU 35a starts control of the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol after the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and the sub general control board 36 (general control board 36) A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the control CPU 36a).

  When executing the 15R probability variable big hit game or the 15R non-variable big hit game, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (6000 (ms)) when the symbol variation game is completed. Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time (maximum 25000 (ms)). Starts measurement and outputs an open signal. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main control CPU 35a 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 winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main control CPU 35a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (1000 ( ms)), a round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main control CPU 35a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main control CPU 35a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. Then, when the round game of the final round ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the final release interval time (1000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending time (15000 (ms)). . Then, the main control CPU 35a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the 15R probability variation big hit game is imparted, and sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variation state is imparted. 1 ”is set. In this case, the main control CPU 35a outputs a probability changing command indicating that the probability changing state is to be provided, and also outputs a speed changing command indicating that the variable state is to be provided.

  In addition, when the 15R non-probability big hit game is given, the main control CPU 35a sets the probability change flag to “0”, sets the operation flag to “1”, and the remaining symbol change game to which the variable state is given. Set the number of actuations indicating the number to 100. In this case, the main control CPU 35a outputs a non-probability change command indicating that the non-probability change state is to be given, and outputs a change command. Further, the main control CPU 35a decrements the number of times of operation by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed. When the number of times of operation becomes “0 (zero)”, the main control CPU 35a ends the variable state and the non-variable state in the probability variable state. Is granted. In this case, the main control CPU 35a outputs a non-variable command.

  When executing the 2R probability variable big hit game, the main control CPU 35a executes the big hit game by executing the predetermined control described above. The main control CPU 35a sets “1” in the probability variation flag when the 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded. Then, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” in the operation flag if the 2R probability variable big hit game in the variable state. In this case, the main control CPU 35a outputs a probability change command and also outputs a change command. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a sets “0” to the operation flag if the 2R probability variable big hit game is in the non-variable state. In this case, the main control CPU 35a outputs a probability change command and also outputs a non-change command.

  Each flag is cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded. In this case, when the big hit is generated, the main control CPU 35a ends the probability changing state and the changing state with the start of the big hit game. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. With these probability change command, non-accuracy change command, speed change command, and non-change speed command, the overall control CPU 36a is currently in the probability change state or the non-accuracy change state, in the change state or the non-change time state. You can see if there is.

Next, processing related to the normal symbol variation game will be described.
The main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 stores the game signal in the main control RAM 35c when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 30 and receives a detection signal output from the normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects the game ball. It is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation game being held is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). If the determination result of the general symbol hold determination is affirmative (the general symbol hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 (+1) to the normal symbol variable game hold memory number, and holds the normal symbol variable game hold memory. Rewrite the number. In addition, when the main-control CPU 35a makes an affirmative determination of the normal map hold determination, the main control CPU 35a acquires a random value for determination of the normal map from the main control RAM 35c, and normally determines the acquired random value for determination of the normal map per normal value. It is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the number of reserved memory of the symbol variation game. The main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the number of stored general map holds exceeding the upper limit when the determination result of the general map hold determination is negative (the number of stored memories = 4) and Do not get value.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a reads the value of the random number for determining the common figure stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the normal symbol variation game, and the read random number for determining the normal figure per game is read. The value is compared with the base figure determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b, and the base map determination of whether or not the base map is made is performed. In the normal game hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the low-probability normal call hit determination value and the normal call hit determination random number when the variable state is not given as the gaming state, and sets the gaming state as the gaming state. When the variable state is given, the judgment value per common figure for high probability and the random number for judgment per common figure are compared.

  When the determination result of the normal map determination is affirmative (the random number value for normal map determination matches the determination value for the normal map), the main control CPU 35a determines the normal map hit. The main control CPU 35a, which has determined the normal symbol per game, determines the symbol for the normal symbol (ordinary symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the normal symbol variation game performed by the normal symbol display device 24. On the other hand, if the determination result of the normal figure determination is negative (the random number value for normal figure determination and the universal figure determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines a deviation from the normal figure. The main control CPU 35a which has determined the normal deviation determines the symbols for normal deviation (ordinary symbols) to be confirmed and stopped in the normal symbol variation game performed by the normal symbol display device 24.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 24 with the start of the normal symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the normal symbol variation by starting the normal symbol variation game, and the normal symbol (the symbol for the normal symbol or the symbol for the normal symbol) determined at the elapse of a predetermined variation time. Is displayed with a fixed stop. The main control CPU 35a sets a different variation time as the variation time of the normal symbol variation game in accordance with the game state at the start of the normal symbol variation game, and displays the normal symbol in a fixed stop state. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a sets “10000 (ms)” as the variation time when the variable state is not assigned, and sets the variable time as the variable time when the variable state is assigned. “1000 (ms)”, which is a shorter time than when the variable state is not assigned, is set. Thereby, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game performed when the variable state is given is shortened than the variation time of the symbol variation game performed in the non-variable state.

  When the main control CPU 35a determines the base symbol per game, the main control CPU 35a executes a control relating to the base symbol per game after the normal symbol variation game based on the determined normal symbol variation pattern. The main control CPU 35a opens the opening and closing blades 27 three times when the variable symbol state is given when the normal symbol variation game is finished, and 1800 (ms) after opening each time is released. It controls to maintain an open state until it passes. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a opens the open / close blade 27 once when the normal symbol variation game is finished, and when the variable state is not given, and opens until 300 (ms) has elapsed since the release. Control to maintain state.

  The main control CPU 35a controls to close the open / close blade 27 when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered even before the specified time has elapsed since the opening. To do. Similarly, the main control CPU 35a performs control so that the opening / closing blade 27 is closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control board 36 based on the overall control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) that executes the following various processes based on the overall control program functions as an effect control unit and a condition determination unit. Further, the sub overall control board 36 (overall control RAM 36c) serves as information storage means.

First, processing at the start of power supply will be described.
The central control CPU 36a is a power source triggered when the power supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the reference voltage in the power supply monitoring circuit due to power-on (when the power switch is turned on) or recovery from power failure due to a power failure in the pachinko machine 10. At the start of supply (at power recovery), a reset signal is input from a reset signal circuit mounted on the power supply board 39. When the reset signal is input, the overall control CPU 36a waits for activation, is activated after execution of predetermined processing, and is set to be in a state where the game can be controlled (a state where the symbol variation game can be controlled). Perform initial setting processing. The overall control CPU 36a performs startup processing when a startup command or a power recovery command is input. The overall control CPU 36a outputs the commands to the control boards 37 and 38 when a startup command or a power recovery command is input from the main control CPU 35a. Further, since the backup power supply is not connected to the sub integrated control board 36 unlike the main control board 35, the storage contents (information) stored in the overall control RAM 36c are not backed up when the power is turned off. It has become. That is, the storage content (information) stored in the overall control RAM 36c is erased (cleared) when the power is turned off.

Next, processing related to the symbol variation game will be described.
When the variation control designation command is input, the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control board 36 outputs the command to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38. Further, when the overall control CPU 36a inputs a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol, the overall control CPU 36a determines a decoration symbol to be confirmed and stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the special symbol corresponding to the command. A stop symbol designating command for the decorative symbol designating the decorative symbol is output to the effect display control board 37. When the overall control CPU 36a receives a symbol stop command, it outputs the command to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

  Further, when the CPU 36a for overall control inputs a probability change command or a change command, the overall control RAM 36c sets information (such as a flag) indicating that the probability change state or the change state has been given. Then, the overall control CPU 36a sets in the overall control RAM 36c that the probability variation state is given when the probability variation command is input, and sets in the overall control RAM 36c that the non-probability variation state is imparted when the non-probability variation command is input. To do. The overall control CPU 36a sets in the overall control RAM 36c that a variable state is given when a variable command is input, and controls that a non-variable state is given when a non-variable command is input. To the RAM 36c. The overall control CPU 36a stores and maintains the current setting contents in the overall control RAM 36c until a probability change command, a non-change probability command, a change command, and a non-change command are input. The overall control CPU 36a grasps whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a probable change state or a change state based on the setting contents of the overall control RAM 36c. Further, when the overall control CPU 36a inputs these commands of the probability change command, the non-change probability command, the change command, and the non-change command, the respective commands are output to the control boards 37 and 38, respectively.

  When the control CPU 36a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol stop symbol designation command, the final stop designated by the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol stop symbol designation command. Based on the symbol (special symbol), the symbol combination (liquid crystal symbol) by the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 22 is determined.

  When the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol (symbol A, B, C) corresponding to the jackpot game, the overall control CPU 36a uses a symbol symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is determined.

  More specifically, when the stop symbol corresponds to the 15R probability variable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a determines a probability change confirmed big hit symbol (odd number symbol) as a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped. On the other hand, when the stop symbol corresponds to the 15R non-probability variable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a determines a probable non-deterministic big hit symbol (even number symbol) as a decorative symbol to be confirmed and displayed. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol (symbol B) corresponding to the 2R probability variation big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a, The symbol combination ([010]) for suggesting the probability change is determined.

  In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a loss symbol, the overall control CPU 36a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the loss. At this time, when the fluctuation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the outlier including the reach symbol combination (reach formation symbol). On the other hand, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the outbreak that does not include the reach symbol combination (reach formation symbol).

Next, processing related to the jackpot game will be described.
When the opening control command, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall control CPU 36a determines the effect content of the opening effect, the effect content of the round effect, and the effect content of the ending effect according to these commands. Then, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing the determined effect contents to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38, respectively.

  Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 based on the display control program will be described. In the present embodiment, an effect display control board 37 (display control CPU 37a) that executes the following various processes based on the display control program functions as an effect control means.

First, processing at the start of power supply will be described.
The display control CPU 37a is a power supply triggered by the power supply monitoring circuit having a power supply voltage that is equal to or higher than the reference voltage due to power-on (when the power switch is turned on) or recovery from power failure due to a power failure in the pachinko machine 10. At the start of supply (at power recovery), a reset signal is input from a reset signal circuit mounted on the power supply board 39. When the reset signal is input, the display control CPU 37a waits for activation, is activated after execution of a predetermined process, and is set to be in a state where the game can be controlled (a state where the symbol variation game can be controlled). Perform initial setting processing. The display control CPU 37a performs a startup process when a startup command or a power recovery command is input. Since the production display control board 37 is not connected to the backup power supply unlike the main control board 35, the stored contents (information) stored in the display control RAM 37c are not backed up when the power is turned off. It has become. That is, the storage content (information) stored in the display control RAM 37c is erased (cleared) when the power is turned off.

Next, processing related to the symbol variation game will be described.
When the change control designation command is input, the display control CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 selects the effect content (variation content) corresponding to the change pattern instructed by the command, and plays the symbol change game with the effect content. The display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that When the display control CPU 37a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display control CPU 37a controls the display contents so that the decoration display instructed by the stop display designating command for the decorative symbol is displayed on the effect display device 22. Then, the symbol variation game is terminated. Then, the display control CPU 37a measures the elapsed time from the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the effect display device 22 based on the measured time and display data for each predetermined control period (for example, 4 ms). Every).

Next, processing related to the jackpot game will be described.
The display control CPU 37a, when the overall control CPU 36a gives an instruction such as an opening effect related to the big hit game, the contents of the effect corresponding to the effect instructed for the effect (effects such as the opening effect, the round game effect, and the ending effect) Is selected, and the display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the effect during the big hit game is performed with the effect content. Further, the display control CPU 37a generates display data for displaying an image in accordance with the effect content using the image data of the display control ROM 37b based on the effect content instructed to be effected. Then, the display control CPU 37a counts the elapsed time from the start of various effects, and displays an image displayed on the effect display device 22 based on the measured time and display data for every predetermined control period (for example, every 4 ms). ).

  The voice / lamp control board 38 controls the light emission modes of the various lamp units 16a to 16c and the voice output modes of the speakers 17a to 17c when various commands are input. That is, the voice / lamp control board 38 performs control so as to cause an effect corresponding to the contents of the effect designated by these commands, similarly to the effect display control board 37. In the present embodiment, the sound / lamp control board 38 that controls the light emission modes of the various lamp units 16a to 16c and the sound output modes of the speakers 17a to 17c also functions as effect control means.

Next, processing related to effects during a big hit game (such as a country take effect) will be described in detail.
In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a is configured to store (set) in the overall control RAM 36c country-country effect information that can specify the contents of the “country effect” effect. The national production effect information that can specify the production content of the “country production effect” is configured by information that can specify the “number of suppressed countries”. In the present embodiment, the country taking effect information indicates a change history of “country taking effect”. Further, the overall control CPU 36a specifies only the “countering country” depending on the country taking effect information, and the display control CPU 37a determines the “type of country under control” from the “suppressing country”. It has come to identify. In this regard, the enemy countries are obtained in a predetermined order. In this case, if the display control CPU 37a knows the “number of countries to be suppressed”, the “type of countries being suppressed” is also displayed. Can be identified. Then, the overall control CPU 36a is in the big hit game based on the grant mode of the change state when the big hit game is granted, the type of the big hit game, and the country-prediction effect information stored in the general control RAM 36c. The production contents of various productions are specified and determined. At the start of power supply, since the sub-control board 36 does not have a backup function, the national production effect information is cleared (erased), and default information is set as the national transaction effect information by default. ing.

  In addition, the contents of the country taking effect information are updated when the contents of the effect of the ending effect are determined in connection with the grant of the 15R probable big hit game. The contents are updated with the execution of. For this reason, the 15R probability variable big hit game is the first 15R probability variable big hit game if the country taking effect information is default information, and if the country taking effect information is information in the initial stage (counting country of 0 suppression), the second 15R. Probable big hit game. Further, in the present embodiment, the 15R probability variable big hit game given when the country taking effect information is other than the default information becomes the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time. Then, the overall control CPU 36a updates the contents of the “countercountered country” so that one country is newly added to the country-facing effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c for the 15R probability variation big hit game. More specifically, the overall control CPU 36a updates the country number of “suppressed countries” by +1 (1 addition). As a result, the display control CPU 37a specifies that a predetermined country has been newly acquired from among the countries that have not yet been acquired as the “type of country being controlled”. In addition, when the country taking effect information is the default information, the overall control CPU 36a updates the country taking effect information to information indicating the contents of the effect at the initial stage (the number of suppressed countries is 0).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a can store and retain the country-counting effect information stored (set) in the overall control RAM 36c until the next big hit game, and the type of the next big hit game and the big hit time A mode for determining whether or not to store and hold until the next jackpot game is determined according to the mode of giving the variable state. The overall control CPU 36a is based on the premise that the national winning effect information is stored and held until the next big hit game, triggered by the big hit game given to the variable state. For this reason, the overall control CPU 36a stores and holds, without clearing (erasing), the country-country effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c at that time for the big hit game in the variable state. As a result, after the first 15R probable big hit game, the country-taken effect information is transferred to the multi-hit game with the contents of the “Country-made effect” produced under the condition that the variable state continues. It is changed cumulatively by overlapping 15R probability variation big hit games. Moreover, even if the shortage state is ended as a result of repeating the big hit game from the first 15R probability variable big hit game, the country taking effect information is stored and held at least until the next big hit game is given.

  In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a inputs a non-variable command after 100 symbol variation games have passed without winning a big win in the variable state associated with the 15R uncertain variable big hit game. Know that the variable state has been terminated. When the overall control CPU 36a grasps that the variable state has been completed, the overall control CPU 36a stores (sets) the continuation condition setting flag in the overall control RAM 36c. The continuation condition setting flag is used when the 15R probable big hit game and the 15R non-probable big hit game are given during the non-variable state, as in the case where these big hit games are given during the variable state. This indicates that a period during which a specific continuation condition for continuously storing and holding can be set is set. Further, the continuation condition setting flag is set in the non-variable gaming state except at the start of power supply. It should be noted that since the default information is used as the country preparation effect information at the start of power supply, in this case, the continuation condition setting flag may not be set even in the non-variable state. In this regard, a configuration may be adopted in which a continuation condition setting flag is set when the non-changeable state is entered after the start of power supply.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established is determined during the execution of the opening effect of the 15R probability variable big hit game and the 15R non-probable big hit game given during the non-variable short state. . For this reason, when the overall control CPU 36a confirms that the continuation condition setting flag is set when the opening command is input, the overall control CPU 36a determines that the operation of the effect operation button BT is effective at the start of the opening effect. Set the period. In the present embodiment, the operation valid period set based on the setting of the continuation condition setting flag is a period during which a specific continuation condition can be set. Further, the overall control CPU 36a does not output an effect instruction command for instructing the control boards 37 and 38 in particular with the setting of the operation effective period. For this reason, the effect display device 22 controlled by the control boards 37 and 38, the various lamp units 16a to 16c, and the speakers 17a to 17c are actively notified to the player that the operation valid period has been set (started). It is supposed not to. The overall control CPU 36a keeps the lamp built in the effect operation button BT off with respect to the operation effective period to be set during the opening effect, and the operation effective period is set (started). This is not actively notified to the player. Further, the overall control CPU 36a ends the operation effective period (cancels the setting of the operation effective period) at the timing of ending the opening effect (for example, when 6000 (ms) has elapsed from the start of the opening effect). Yes.

  Further, with the end of the operation effective period, the overall control CPU 36a determines whether or not the button operation of the effect operation button BT has been operated only three times, which is a predetermined number of times, until the end of the operation effective period. The overall control CPU 36a stores information related to the operation of the effect operation button BT (information indicating how many times the operation has been performed) during the operation effective period. Then, the overall control CPU 36a determines whether the information regarding the operation of the effect operation button BT is information indicating that the operation is performed only three times during the operation effective period at the end of the operation effective period. Yes. In this case, the overall control CPU 36a keeps the lamp built in the effect operation button BT off.

  If the overall control CPU 36a determines that the effect operation button BT has not been operated only three times during the operation valid period, the overall control information is cleared (erased) as the specific continuation condition is not satisfied. Set default information. As a result, in the 15R probable big hit game and the 15R non-probable big hit game given during the non-variable short state, the production contents of the “country production effect” up to the previous big hit game are not taken over. If this is a 15R probability variable big hit game, the current big hit game becomes the first 15R probability variable big hit game, and becomes the starting point for notifying the number of consecutive resorts for the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time. Also, if this is a 15R non-probability variable jackpot game, the first 15R probability variable jackpot game given in the future will be the first 15R probability variable jackpot game. On the other hand, when the overall control CPU 36a determines that the production operation button BT is operated only three times during the operation valid period, the national-country production information is not cleared (erased) as it is as the specific continuation condition is satisfied. Continue to keep the memory. As a result, in the current jackpot game granted during the non-variable shortage state, the contents of the “country production” effect up to the previous jackpot game are taken over, and at least retained until the next jackpot game is awarded. Is done.

  Further, in the case where the country taking effect information is not cleared (erased) as the specific continuation condition is satisfied, the overall control CPU 36a notifies that the specific continuation condition is satisfied in the first round game of the jackpot game as a target. It is supposed to let you. Then, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an instruction instruction command for causing the speakers 17a to 17c to output a confirmation sound with the start of the first round game of the jackpot game for which a specific continuation condition is satisfied. It outputs to the lamp control board 38. As a result, the sound / lamp control board 38 controls the speakers 17a to 17c, so that a confirmation sound (for example, “cue”) is output from the speakers 17a to 17c. In the present embodiment, the speakers 17a to 17c serve as notification means.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, for the first time on the condition that a specific continuation condition is not established with the winning of 15R probability variable big hit game and 15R non-probable big hit game in the non-variable short state. The production effect information is cleared (erased). For this reason, in this embodiment, the national winning effect information can be cleared (erased) in response to the jackpot game in the non-variable state, and the jackpot game is in the non-variable state except for a special situation such as a power failure. Unless it is granted, the contents of the production of the previous “country production” can be taken over at least until the next big hit game without clearing (erasing) the country-taking production information.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by setting a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established so as to overlap with the stage execution time of the opening effect, such a period is also used as the effect execution time of the existing effect. Furthermore, during a period in which a specific continuation condition can be established, an effect of notifying that such a period is in progress is not executed. For this reason, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, a player who desires to take over the content of the previous “country production effect” can establish a specific continuation condition (time for performing the effect of the opening effect). It is only necessary to operate the production operation button BT. On the other hand, a player who wishes not to take over the contents of the last “country production effect” does nothing during the period when the specific continuation condition can be satisfied (the timing for performing the effect of the opening effect). If the button BT is not operated, the desire is satisfied.

  Further, in the present embodiment, notification is made by outputting a confirmation sound depending on the establishment of a specific continuation condition. For this reason, if a player who operates the operation button BT for the production in hopes of taking over the production contents of the previous “country production production”, the desire is satisfied if a specific continuation condition is established. This is immediately notified immediately after the establishment. Such a notification mode means that, as in this embodiment, when a specific continuation condition is started at a big hit game, a “country effect” that can change depending on whether this specific continuation condition is satisfied ends the big hit game. This is especially effective when setting sometimes.

First, a process when a big hit game is awarded during the variable state will be described.
When the 15R probability variable big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a opens the suppressed country number image W3 based on the country-counting effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c when determining the contents of the opening effect. The contents of the effect to be displayed are indicated. Here, when the country taking effect information is the default information (in the case of the first 15R probability variation big hit game), the overall control CPU 36a instructs the effect contents not to display the suppressed country number image W3 in accordance with the opening effect. Note that the overall control CPU 36a instructs the contents of effects predetermined in each round game when the country-setting effect information is default information. In addition, the overall control CPU 36a displays the suppressed country number image W3 corresponding to the opening effect when the country taking effect information indicates other than the default information and the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time. Instruct. The case where the country taking effect information indicates other than the default information is a case where the information regarding “the number of suppressed countries” is zero or more. In addition, when the country taking effect information is other than the default information, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the contents of the effect to develop the effect of the battle for obtaining the enemy country in each round game when each round command is input.

  In the present embodiment, when the opening effect of the target jackpot game is executed, the “number of suppressed countries” up to the previous “country-taking effect” is referred to. For this reason, in the opening production, the number of countries that have been controlled so far is notified. That is, in the first 15R probability variation big hit game, since there is no country that has been suppressed, the number of countries that have been suppressed is not notified.

  When the 15R non-probable big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a determines the opening effect regardless of the contents of the country effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c. In addition, the contents of the effect not to display the suppressed country number image W3 is instructed. In the case of a 15R non-probable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a, when each round command is input, instructs the contents of the effect predetermined for each round game.

  When the 2R probability variable big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a determines the opening effect regardless of the contents of the national production effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c. The content of the effect not to display the suppressed country number image W3 is instructed. Note that, in the case of the 2R probability variation big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the performance contents predetermined in each round game when each round command is input.

  In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a, when instructing the contents of the effect of the opening effect as described above, instructs the effect instruction command for instructing the display (execution) of the suppressed country image W3 and the execution of the opening effect. The commands are combined and output to the control boards 37 and 38. In addition, in the case of 15R non-probable big hit game or 2R probable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a executes an effect instruction command and an opening effect to instruct the contents of the effect to hide (not display) the suppressed country number image W3. Are output to the control boards 37 and 38 together.

  Subsequently, in the case of 15R probable big hit games, the overall control CPU 36a updates the country taking effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c when determining the effect contents of the ending effect, and updates the country after the update. The content of the effect to display the suppression country number image W1 and the suppression country type image W2 based on the taking effect information in accordance with the ending effect is instructed. Here, the overall control CPU 36a displays the number of countries corresponding to the “country of control” in the suppression country count image W1 when the country taking effect information indicates other than the default information and becomes the 15R probability variable big hit game after the first time. The contents of the effect to be displayed are instructed, and the contents of the effect to be displayed in color in the country corresponding to the “type of country being suppressed” are instructed in the suppression country type image W2. The case where the country taking effect information indicates other than the default information is a case where the information regarding “the number of suppressed countries” is zero or more.

  In addition, when the 15R non-probable big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a maintains the national production effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c without being updated when determining the content of the ending effect. Then, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the contents of the effects not to be displayed in accordance with the ending effect regardless of the contents of the country taking effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c. .

  Further, when the 2R probability variation big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a maintains the national production effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c as it is when determining the content of the ending effect. Then, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the content of the production not to display the suppressed country number image W1 and the suppressed country type image W2 in accordance with the ending effect, regardless of the content of the country taking effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c. To do.

  In the present embodiment, when the overall control CPU 36a instructs the content of the ending effect as described above, the instruction command and the ending effect for instructing the display (execution) of the suppression country number image W1 and the suppression country type image W2. A production instruction command for instructing the execution of the command is output to the control boards 37 and 38 together. In addition, in the case of the 15R non-probable big hit game or the 2R probable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a does not display (does not display) the suppression country number image W1 and the suppression country type image W2 and produces an instruction instruction command for indicating the effect contents And a command for instructing execution of the ending effect are output to the control boards 37 and 38 together.

Next, processing when a big hit game is awarded during the non-variable state will be described.
When the 15R probable big hit game and the 15R non-probable big hit game are targeted, the overall control CPU 36a determines the opening production effect contents regardless of the contents of the national production effect information stored in the overall control RAM 36c. The content of the production not to display the suppressed country number image W3 in accordance with the opening production is instructed.

  Then, when the country taking effect information is cleared (erased) as the specific continuation condition is not established, the overall control CPU 36a is the same as the case where the country taking effect information is the default information if it is a 15R probability variation big hit game. Instruct the contents of each round game and ending production. In addition, if it is a 15R non-probable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the contents of each round game and the effect of the ending effect in the same manner as the 15R non-probable big hit game given during the variable state.

  Further, in the case where the country-run effect information is not cleared (erased) as a specific continuation condition is satisfied, the overall control CPU 36a, if it is a 15R probability variable big hit game, is the same as the 15R probability variable big hit game given during the variable state. Instruct the contents of each round game and ending production. In addition, if it is a 15R non-probability variable big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the contents of each round game and the endin effect in the same manner as the 15R non-probable big hit game given during the variable state. In this case, for the contents other than the opening effect and the confirmation sound, the effect contents of each round game and the ending effect are instructed by the same procedure and control as when the target jackpot game is given during the variable state.

  When the 2R probability variable big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a instructs the contents of the opening effect, each round game and the ending effect in the same manner as the 2R probability variable big hit game given during the variable state. It is like that. When the 2R probability variable big hit game is targeted, the overall control CPU 36a also clears (deletes) the country nationality effect information in the same manner as the 2R probability variable big hit game given during the variable state with respect to the country special effect information. Do not continue to keep the memory. As a result, in the current jackpot game granted during the non-variable shortage state, the contents of the “country production” effect up to the previous jackpot game are taken over, and at least retained until the next jackpot game is awarded. Is done.

  Then, when the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect instruction command regarding the opening effect, the effect of the round game, or the ending effect at a predetermined timing, the effect display device 22 executes the display effect according to the effect content specified by the command. Controls the display content of.

  Next, the execution mode of various effects and the storage mode of the country-setting effect information by executing the process related to the effect (country effect, etc.) during the big hit game will be described based on FIG. 7 and FIG. In FIG. 7, the 15R probability variable big hit game is indicated as “15R probability”, the 15R non-probability variable big hit game is indicated as “15R non-probable”, and the 2R probability variable big hit game is indicated as “2R probability”. Moreover, in Fig.7 (a)-(c), progress of time is shown in order of Fig.7 (a)-> (b)-> (c), and the various aspects along the progress are shown. 7 (a) to 7 (c) are based on the premise that the state is not changed at the start time A1 in FIG. 7 (a), and the national continuation effect is made with the specific continuation condition not established at the time A1. It is assumed that information is cleared (default information is set). Further, FIG. 8 shows the big hit game at each time point, the change state at the time of the big hit, the execution mode of the suppressed country count image W3 (“○ (display)” or “× (not display)”), and the number of suppressed countries Execution mode (“○ (display)” or “× (non-display)”) of the image W1 and storage mode of the national production effect information (“continuation (memory retention)”) or “clear (set default information without memory retention) ) ”). Further, in FIG. 8, the suppressed country number image W1 indicates “W1”, the suppressed country type image W2 indicates “W2”, and the suppressed country number image W3 indicates “W3”.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), when 15R probability variable big hit game (the first time here) is given during the non-variable short state that continues from time A1 (time A2), as shown in FIG. “W3” becomes “×” because it is in a non-variable short state, “W1, W2” becomes “O” because it is a 15R probable big hit game, and national clearing information is “cleared” by making certain continuation conditions not established. " In this case, the production content of the previous “country production production” has not been taken over. In addition, during the jackpot game, the country taking effect information is updated, and the default information is updated to information indicating the initial stage (counting country with zero suppression). Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country number image W3 is not displayed in accordance with the opening effect (FIG. 5 (a)), and after the effects of each round game are executed, Suppressed country number image W1 and “suppressed country type image W3 (FIG. 4A)” with the suppressed country K1 as 0 are displayed.

  Subsequently, after the end of the time point A2, a variable state is given, and when a 15R probability variable big hit game (second time here) is given during this short state (time point A3), as shown in FIG. Since it is a variable state at the time of big hit, both “W3”, “W1, W2” are “O”, and the national production effect information is “Continue”. In this case, the production content of the “country production production” of the previous time (time A2) is taken over. In addition, during this jackpot game, the country taking effect information is updated, and updated from the initial stage (the number of suppressed countries is 0) to the information indicating “the number of suppressed countries is 1”. The effect display device 22 displays the suppressed country number image W3 (FIG. 5 (b)) of “suppressed country 0 country” in accordance with the opening effect, and after the effects of each round game are executed, the ending In accordance with the performance, a suppressed country number image W1 of “suppressed country 1 country” and a suppressed country type image W3 (FIG. 4B) with the suppressed country K1 as one country are displayed. Then, after the end of the time point A3, the variable state is given and continues to the time point B1 in FIG. 7B.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7B, when 2R probability variable big hit game is given during the variable state that continues from time point B1 (time point B2), as shown in FIG. Since the game is a probable big hit game, “W3”, “W1, W2” are both “x”, and the national production effect information is “continue”. In this case, the “country production effect” is not executed, but the previous “country production effect” production content is succeeded. In addition, during this big hit game, the country taking effect information is not updated but is stored and held as it is. Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country image W3 is not displayed in the opening effect (FIG. 5A), and after the effects of each round game are executed, the suppressed country image W1 is matched to the ending effect. And the suppression country type image W2 is not displayed.

  Subsequently, after the end of the time point B2, a change state is given, and if a 15R uncertain variable big hit game is given during this change state (time point B3), as shown in FIG. Since the game is a non-probable big hit game, “W3”, “W1, W2” are both “x”, and the national production effect information is “continue”. In this case, the “country production effect” is not executed, but the previous “country production effect” production content is succeeded. In addition, during this big hit game, the country taking effect information is not updated but is stored and held as it is. Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country image W3 is not displayed in the opening effect (FIG. 5A), and after the effects of each round game are executed, the suppressed country image W1 is matched to the ending effect. And the suppression country type image W2 is not displayed. Then, after the end of the time point B3, a variable state is given, and when 100 symbol change games have passed without winning a big hit during this variable state (time point B4), the variable state is ended and no change is made. The state is reached and continues to time C1 in FIG.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), when a 2R probability variable big hit game is given during the non-variable state that continues from the time point C1 (time point C2), as shown in FIG. However, since it is a 2R probable big hit game, “W3”, “W1, W2” are both “x”, and the national production effect information is “continue”. In this case, the “country production effect” is not executed, but the previous “country production effect” production content is succeeded. In addition, during this big hit game, the country taking effect information is not updated but is stored and held as it is. Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country image W3 is not displayed in the opening effect (FIG. 5A), and after the effects of each round game are executed, the suppressed country image W1 is matched to the ending effect. And the suppression country type image W2 is not displayed. It should be noted that the non-variable state is given after the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game (time C2) given during the non-variable state.

  Subsequently, after the end of the time point C2, a non-variable state is given, and a 15R probability variable big hit game is given during this non-variable state (time point C3). The game will be the third 15R probable big hit game that takes over the production contents of the “country production production” at time A3. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, “W3” becomes “×” because it is in an unchangeable state at the time of big hit, and “W1, W2” becomes “O” because it is a 15R-probable big hit game. Becomes “continuation”. In this case, the production content of the “country production production” of the previous time (time A3) is taken over. In addition, during the jackpot game, the country taking effect information is updated, and updated from “1 country of suppression” to “2 countries of suppression”. Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country number image W3 (FIG. 5 (b)) of “suppressed country 1 country” is displayed in accordance with the opening effect, and after the effects of each round game are executed, the ending In accordance with the performance, a suppressed country number image W1 of “2 suppressed countries” and a suppressed country type image W3 (FIG. 4C) with the suppressed country K1 as two countries are displayed. Then, after the end of the time point C3, the variable state is given and continues to the time point C4 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if a non-variable state is given after the end of time C2, and a 15R probability variable big hit game is given during this non-variable state (time C3), if a specific continuation condition is not met, The game will be the first 15R probable big hit game without taking over the production contents of the “country production production” at time A3. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, “W3” becomes “×” because it is in a non-variable state at the time of big hit, and “W1, W2” becomes “O” because it is a 15R-probable big hit game. Becomes “clear”. In this case, the production content of the previous “country production production” has not been taken over. In addition, during the jackpot game, the country taking effect information is updated, and the default information is updated to information indicating the initial stage (counting country with zero suppression). Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country number image W3 is not displayed in accordance with the opening effect (FIG. 5 (a)), and after the effects of each round game are executed, Suppressed country number image W1 and “suppressed country type image W3 (FIG. 4A)” with the suppressed country K1 as 0 are displayed.

  Subsequently, after the end of the time point C3, a change state is given, and when a 15R probability change big hit game is given during this change state (time point C4), if the specific continuation condition is satisfied at the time point C3, the fourth time The game becomes a 15R probability variable big hit game, and if the specific continuation condition is not satisfied at the time point C3, it becomes the second 15R probability variable big hit game. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, since it is a variable state at the time of big hit, “W3”, “W1, W2” are both “◯”, and the national production effect information is “continuation”. In this case, the production content of the “country production production” of the previous time (time point C3) is taken over. In addition, during this jackpot game, the country purchase effect information is updated based on the country purchase effect information at the time point C3. Then, in the effect display device 22, the suppressed country number image W3 corresponding to the country taking effect information is displayed in accordance with the opening effect, and after each round game effect is executed, the country taking effect information in accordance with the ending effect is displayed. The suppressed country number image W1 and the suppressed country type image W3 are displayed.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) A cumulative change effect ("country effect") that changes cumulatively by handing over the contents of the effect across multiple hit games (in this embodiment, the jackpot game given during the changing state). A specific continuation condition for taking over the contents of the performance (even in the case of being given during the non-variable short state) is executed in the big hit game (in the present embodiment, in the 15R probability variable big hit game). In the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game that becomes the 15R probability variable big hit game and 15R non-probable big hit game given during the non-variable short state, the timing at which the big hit can be recognized (in this embodiment, the effect of the opening effect) It is possible to set between the timing of starting the cumulative change effect from the (time) (the execution execution time of the ending effect in this embodiment). In the target jackpot game (in this embodiment, the 15R probability variable big hit game and the 15R non-probable variable big hit game given during the non-variable short state), the cumulative change thereafter depends on how the specific continuation condition is established. The execution mode of the production was changed. Specifically, for a jackpot game where a specific continuation condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, a 15R probability variable big hit game and a 15R non-probable variable big hit game given during the non-variable short state) On the other hand, for the big hit game in which the continuation state is not established, the content of the effect previously determined (the content of the effect based on the default information in this embodiment) is used without inheriting the content of the previous effect. In addition, by making it possible to set a specific continuation condition before the timing of the start of the cumulative change effect, a specific continuation condition is established for the big hit game currently obtained by the player who is playing the game. To be able to. In such a case, a specific continuation condition can be set after execution of the cumulative change effect, so that a specific continuation condition is set for a big hit game to be given from now on, that is, a game is currently performed. Compared to a case where a specific continuation condition can be established for a big hit game that may be obtained by a player other than a player, it is easier to reflect the player's intention. For this reason, the effect during the big hit game can be changed depending on the player's intention. By doing in this way, even if the number of jackpot games is repeated, it is possible to prevent rut and to further improve the interest during the jackpot game.

  (2) The jackpot game (in this embodiment, the content of the “country production effect” is inherited and the 15R probability variable big hit game) is repeated until the cumulative change effect (“country production effect”) is the final stage ( In this embodiment, it can be changed cumulatively to “nationally unified”). In addition, the player establishes a specific continuation condition as a result of granting a big hit game (in this embodiment, a 15R probability variable big hit game and a 15R non-variable big hit game given to the non-variable short state). By accumulating big hit games, the cumulative change effect can be cumulatively changed to the final stage. For this reason, by incorporating an element that establishes a specific continuation condition as a route to achieve the purpose of changing the cumulative change effect to the final stage, the game continues with a specific continuation condition at key points while accumulating big hit games. It is possible to further add a game such as making a person achieve the purpose. Therefore, by adding new game playability, it is possible to contribute to prevention of rut, and as a result, it is possible to further improve the interest during the big hit game.

  (3) Production information stored in the information storage means (overall control RAM 36c) (in this embodiment, country-taking production information) is stored and held until the next jackpot game is awarded. . According to such a configuration, it is possible to suitably apply a configuration in which a specific continuation condition can be established for a big hit game obtained by a player who is currently playing a game.

  (4) The establishment of a specific continuation condition is notified to the player by notification means (speakers 17a to 17c). For this reason, the player can be made entertained after the execution mode of the cumulative change effect (“country effect”) in the target jackpot game is grasped in advance. Therefore, by allowing the player to grasp the execution mode of the cumulative change effect in advance, it is possible to realize an effect in an aspect that is easy for the player to understand, and an effect that is difficult for the player to understand, resulting in a decrease in interest. Can be prevented.

  (5) With the winning of the big hit (in this embodiment, 15R probability variable big hit game, 15R non-probable variable big hit game, and 2R probability variable big hit game) in the open time increased state (in this embodiment, the variable short state) To take over the cumulative change production. For this reason, the change of the cumulative change effect can be enjoyed under the condition that the open time increase state is continued, and the interest in not only each jackpot game but also a plurality of jackpot games can be improved. Therefore, when the gaming state is an opening time increasing state, the player can be motivated to continue the game.

  (6) In addition, with the winning of the big hit (15R probability variable big hit game and 15R non-variable big hit game in this embodiment) in the non-increasing state (in this embodiment, the non-variable short state) The content of the effect according to the determination result of the condition determination means (overall control CPU 36a) based on the operation button BT is set. For this reason, in the state where the opening time is increased, the change of the cumulative change effect can be enjoyed, and it is possible to improve the interest of not only each jackpot game but also a plurality of jackpot games. On the other hand, even if the opening time increase state ends once and the opening time non-increasing state, the cumulative change effect can be changed cumulatively over a plurality of big hit games depending on the specific continuation condition. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the change and improve the interests over multiple jackpot games as well as each jackpot game. Therefore, even when the gaming state (the variable state and the non-variable state) is not very desirable for the player, the player can be motivated to continue the game.

  (7) The means for setting a specific continuation condition is an operation means (production operation button BT) that can be operated by the player. Can be suitably reflected. Furthermore, as a period during which a specific continuation condition can be set, from the end of the symbol variation game accompanying the winning of the jackpot until the first opening of the winning means after the jackpot game starts (in this embodiment, In addition, the notification that prompts the operation of the operation means is not notified on the display device (the effect display device 22 in the present embodiment) on which the symbol variation game is developed. For this reason, regarding the establishment of a specific continuation condition, if this method is recognized, the occurrence of a scene such as the establishment of a specific continuation condition by chance is suppressed, and the execution mode of the cumulative change effect (“country effect”) Can be reflected by the player's will at a very high rate. In addition, if this method is not recognized, it is possible to add a game property such as an interest in searching for such a method, such as developing a game method by the player himself. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to prevention of rutiness by further adding playability due to various interests, and as a result, it is possible to further improve the interest during the big hit game.

  (8) In a period in which a specific continuation condition can be set, not only the display device (effect display device 22) does not perform notification that prompts the operation of the operation means (effect operation button BT), but also from the operation means itself. I was not notified. For this reason, while exhibiting the effect by having recognized the method of establishment of specific continuation conditions more suitably, the effect by not recognizing this method comes to be exhibited more suitably. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to prevention of mannerism, and as a result, it is possible to further improve the interest during the big hit game.

  (9) In the present embodiment, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, it is made possible to take over the country effect information regardless of whether or not it is in a variable state. By doing so, it is possible to suitably cope with a case where a big hit game is mounted so that a sufficient operation time of the effect operation button BT cannot be secured.

  (10) Among the players, there are a player who desires to take over the content of the previous “country production effect” and a player who does not. For this reason, when a dedicated period is provided for a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established, or when a dedicated performance is executed, such a period is the content of the previous “country effect”. This is a troublesome period for a player who desires not to take over, which may cause a decrease in game motivation. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a period during which a specific continuation condition can be satisfied is set so as to overlap with the stage performance execution time of the opening effect, and such a period is also used as the performance execution time of the existing effect. Furthermore, in a period in which a specific continuation condition can be established, by not performing an effect of notifying that it is in such a period, a dedicated period is provided for a period in which the specific continuation condition can be established, The special production was not executed. For this reason, it is possible to avoid annoying the player who desires not to take over the content of the previous “country production effect” based on the gameability by establishing a specific continuation condition.

  (11) In addition, when a dedicated period is provided for a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established, or when a dedicated effect is set, depending on the period (effect), either There is also a selection-type production that can be selected. However, if such a selection-type production is adopted, it will be a material to entertain the production for the player who wants to take over the production contents of the previous “country production production”. The player who wishes not to take over the production contents of "" is forced to select not to continue. For this reason, in this embodiment, a game that does not take over the content of the previous “country production effect” by not adopting an effect such as a selection formula for a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established. It can be made so as not to bother the person.

  (12) In the present embodiment, in order to establish a specific continuation condition, it is determined whether or not the specific continuation condition is established at the end of the stage performance stage of the opening stage, and a plurality of stage operation buttons BT are provided. The operation was required once. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player from touching the operation button BT for production by mistake and developing the production different from the player's desire.

  (13) In order to achieve the above-described effects (particularly (9) to (11)), the situation during that period is accompanied by the end of the stage performance stage of the opening effect (a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established). It is an effective configuration to determine whether or not a specific continuation condition is satisfied by (the operation mode of the effect operation button BT).

  (14) Further, in the present embodiment, notification is made by outputting a confirmation sound depending on the establishment of a specific continuation condition. For this reason, it is immediately recognized whether or not a specific continuation condition is established for a player who operates the operation button BT for the production in order to take over the production contents of the previous “country production production”. After that, by not letting the game up to the execution of the “country production effect”, it is possible to sufficiently enjoy the big hit game (the production during the big hit game).

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the sub integrated control board 36 (the overall control CPU 36a) has a backup function. In other respects, the first embodiment is different from the first embodiment. It is the same. For this reason, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the backup power source is also connected to the sub general control board 36 (sub control CPU 36a). In the backup process on the sub-general control board 36, when the power is turned off, various control information relating to various effects such as country-designed effect information and gaming state is stored and held in the sub-general control board 36 (general control RAM 36c). It is supposed to be made.

  In the present embodiment, when the power control signal is supplied from the power supply board 39 (power supply monitoring circuit), the overall control CPU 36a executes an infinite loop until the power supply is cut off. Power is supplied from the backup power source to the overall control RAM 36c, and the contents stored in the overall control RAM 36c when the power is turned off are saved as backup data. The backup data includes the contents stored in the overall control RAM 36c when the power is cut off, such as when the power switch of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned off or at the time of power failure, Control information is stored. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, various control information stored (set) in the overall control RAM 36c is backed up when the power switch is turned off even when the power switch is turned off due to the closing of the game hall. Stored as data.

  Also, the overall control CPU 36a is triggered by the power supply monitoring circuit having a power supply voltage that exceeds the reference voltage by power-on (when the power switch is turned on) or recovery from power failure due to a power failure in the pachinko machine 10. At the start of power supply (when power is restored), a reset signal from the reset signal circuit mounted on the power supply board 39 is input. When the reset signal is input, the overall control CPU 36a waits for activation, is activated after execution of predetermined processing, and is set to be in a state where the game can be controlled (a state where the symbol variation game can be controlled). Perform initial setting processing. The overall control CPU 36a performs startup processing when a startup command or a power recovery command is input. The overall control CPU 36a outputs each command to the control boards 37 and 38 when a startup command or a power recovery command is input from the main control CPU 35a.

  In the start-up process, the overall control CPU 36a performs various settings for the state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to instructions from the main control CPU 35a, and stores various control information stored (set) as backup data in the overall control RAM 36c. Based on this, the game can be played.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects (1) to (14) of the first embodiment.
(15) In this embodiment, after the start of power supply, even if the previous “country production effect” has not been executed, the content of the “country production effect” immediately after the power interruption is taken over. Is possible. In other words, even if the power is cut off due to the closing of the store, the contents of the country-country production information stored at the time of closing are backed up, so that the latest contents of the “country production” at the time of closing are taken over. It becomes possible. For this reason, by making it possible to take over the contents of the “country production effect” even across power-off situations, the player has a wide range of opportunities to change the “country effect” to the final stage. Even if the number of hit games is repeated from closing to opening, it is possible to prevent rut.

In addition, you may change each said embodiment as follows.
In each embodiment, the light emitter may be turned on with respect to the production operation button BT during a period in which a specific continuation condition can be established. In this case, although it is not notified in the effect display device 22 that it is a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established, it is notified depending on the light emitter of the effect operation button BT.

  -In each embodiment, it can also alert | report by the production | presentation display apparatus 22, and can also alert | report by various lamp | ramp parts 16a-16c that it is a period which can satisfy | fill a specific continuation condition.

  In each embodiment, the effect operation button BT may be a button that can be operated by the player, such as a touch-type touch button. In addition, the production operation button BT may or may not include a light emitter.

  In each embodiment, the condition setting means may not be operable by the player, and may be any gate or winning hole in the game board YB. In this case, a specific continuation condition may be satisfied when the gate passes or a winning entry is made. In this regard, it is also a period during which it is not necessary to launch a game ball during the opening effect that is set in a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established. For this reason, it becomes possible to select the establishment mode of the specific continuation condition by selecting whether or not the player wants to launch the game ball as desired.

  In addition, the condition setting means may be a member (for example, a button related to an ashtray or a rental ball) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 and may be operated directly or indirectly by the player.

  Further, the specific continuation condition can be established by launching a game ball during a period in which the specific continuation condition can be established. In this case, the condition setting means is a launching device that launches the game ball. (Launching handle 19).

  In each embodiment, the period during which the specific continuation condition can be satisfied can be changed after the start of the big hit game and before the timing set for the execution time of the “country effect”. Further, this period may be after a timing at which it is possible to recognize that it is a big hit, and it can be set during a symbol change game that is a big hit, or straddling a symbol change game and a big hit game. For example, in a symbol variation game that is a big hit, it may be after the big hit symbol combination is once displayed and after the point at which the player can recognize the big hit from the display content.

  -Each embodiment can also be configured to unconditionally store and retain the country-taking effect information until the next big-hit game in the 15R non-probable big-hit game in an unchangeable short state, and at least execute the "country-taking effect" You may apply the process regarding a specific continuation condition for the possible jackpot game.

-Each embodiment can also employ | adopt the structure which clears national-country effect information, unless a specific continuation condition is satisfied every time for 15R non-probable big hit game.
-Each embodiment does not need to be provided with a variable state. In this case, each time a 15R probable big hit game and a 15R non-probable big hit game are awarded, the country effect information may be cleared unless a specific continuation condition is satisfied, or only the 15R non-probable big hit game is provided. If a specific continuation condition is not established for the target, it may be configured to clear the national production effect information.

  ・ Each embodiment makes it possible to execute a “country effect” regardless of 15R probability variable big hit game or 15R non-probable big hit game, and the number of times that 15R positive variable big hit game and 15R non-probable big hit game are connected in a short time. It is also possible to make the game nature such as giving a bonus to the player. In this regard, the game can be executed even in the 2R probability variation big hit game. This makes it possible to notify various contents such as the number of times that the jackpot is consecutive, the number of times that the 15R probability variation big hit game is consecutive, and the number of times that the 2R probability variation big hit game is consecutive. In addition, with regard to “country-taking effects”, it is difficult for players to recognize whether or not they are probable big hits (can be concealed), and only for big hit games that are informed of probable big hit games, It can also be set as the structure which performs "production".

  -In each embodiment, in 2R probability change big hit game, the rush effect which alert | reports the rush to a probability change state triggered by this big hit game can also be performed as an opening effect. In this case, by setting the production time of the rush production to a length sufficient to operate the production operation button BT a plurality of times, such as 15R probability variation big hit game or 15R non-probability big hit game, 2R probability variation big hit It is possible to set a period during which a specific continuation condition can be established when a game is given, particularly when the game is given in a non-variable state. Under such a configuration, even if the target game is a 2R probability variation big hit game, it is possible to have a configuration that clears the country effect information unless a specific continuation condition is established.

  -In each embodiment, regarding the 15R probability variable big hit game given during the non-changeable state, it is possible to display the suppressed country number image W3 based on the country taking effect information inherited at that time. Then, after confirming the contents, the player can select whether or not to establish a specific continuation condition.

  -In each embodiment, regarding the suppressed country number image W3, it is also possible to display 15R non-probable big hit games as targets. By doing this, although the “country production effect” is not developed, it is possible to make the player know the number of 15R probable big hit games that have been run up to now, thereby increasing the willingness to pull back later it can.

  In each embodiment, the “country production effect” may employ a configuration in which the number of countries being suppressed is reduced. In this regard, for example, it is possible to reduce the number of countries by giving 2R probability variable big hit games or 15R non-variable big hit games, or by increasing lots, maintaining, and “Decrease” can also be determined. Note that, depending on the configuration according to this alternative example, the player can enjoy the change in performance due to the big hit game being given under the condition where the variable state continues.

  -In each embodiment, you may change the frequency | count of operation of the operation button BT for production required for establishment of specific continuation conditions. However, as described in the effect (12) of this embodiment, it is preferable to set the number of times (for example, two times or more) that does not contradict the player's intention.

-In each embodiment, it can also be set as the structure which does not alert | report the establishment of specific continuation conditions to a player (a confirmation sound is not output).
-In each embodiment, you may change the timing which outputs a confirmation sound, if [country production effect] is performed.

  In each embodiment, during a period when a specific continuation condition can be satisfied, the output is performed when the number of operations of the production operation button BT reaches three times, and the specification is continued when the number of operations reaches three times. It is good also as an aspect which alert | reports that a specific continuation condition is materialized by the period (opening production | presentation) which can establish this continuation condition being complete | finished.

In each embodiment, the establishment of a specific continuation condition may be notified by causing a dedicated confirmation lamp to emit light or displaying a confirmed image on the effect display device 22.
In each embodiment, the cumulative change effect can be an effect that does not provide an upper limit for changes in the effect content.

  -In each embodiment, you may make it alert | report the number of consecutive resorts including the first 15R probability variation big hit game. In this case, information indicating the initial stage may be set by clearing the country production effect information, that is, information indicating the initial stage may be set by default. In this case, the suppressed country count image W3 (based on the information indicating the initial stage) may be displayed also in the first 15R probability variation big hit game.

  In each embodiment, at the start of the second 15R probable big hit game, the country take effect information is information indicating the initial stage (the number of suppressed countries is 0). It is also possible not to display several images W3.

  In each embodiment, the cumulative change effect can be changed as long as the effect content is accumulated and can be changed. For example, an aspect in which a story progresses one episode at a time, an aspect in which items related to games are collected (collected), or the like may be used. Moreover, the effect which develops mainly the light emission mode of the various lamp parts 16a-16c and the audio | voice output mode of the speakers 17a-17c may be sufficient. In addition, the country to be suppressed can be determined by lottery (randomly) by the overall control CPU 36a or the display control CPU 37a.

  -In each embodiment, the configuration of the jackpot game may be a specification in which a 2R non-probability big hit game that gives a non-probability change state to the 2R probable big hit game after the big hit game is finished may be arbitrarily selected according to the added game characteristics. It can also be changed. Moreover, what is necessary is just the specification which provided the big hit which becomes the object which gives a privilege by repeating grant for a player.

  In each embodiment, the main control CPU 35a may acquire all the random numbers related to the determination of the symbol variation game from the main control RAM 35c when winning the start winning ports 25 and 26.
